I downloaded the update for Verizon OS for 8130. EV would not show up on my screen and my browser and email would not work. Called Verizon and they walked me through it.

Go to options: Advanced Options: Host Routing Table, then hit menu key and Register Now. After the message window comes up, close out and remove battery for 5 seconds then replace.

Once back on, dial #832 and voice should tell you registered sucsessfully. Hit end and then dial #228 and select option 1. After complete power off phone and power back on. Should work.

I had downloaded the Alltel version for my VZW 8130 and once the VZW version came out I decided to install that instead to see any differences. I noticed better reception and other small stability improvements. Isn't it the same software from both carriers or does each carrier make adjustments?

[Sith_Apprentice]

each carrier tests individual builds. the builds are incremental so they do fix things from previous ones. the base software is the same but there are changes to it. the carriers dont make those changes, RIM does.

fired up DM
it synced it's usual stuff

but nothing else...

i then tried running DM's application loader. it detected a timezone patch (no idea how that got there but i installed it) but that's all.

is there something else i should try?

no, i have a 8100. as this is a 8100 cat i assumed the 'new' 8130 s/w was good.

wrong?

[Sith_Apprentice]

no, OSs can only be loaded onto that device, so 8100 on 8100, etc. there is another sticky at the top of the 8100 forum, for 8100 software.

[loki61]

silly me. thanks.

[on1sony]

currently i am running verision 4.3.0.60 on my verizon 8130.

what would be a reason for me to want to upgrade to the most recent version? What fixes have been made or enhancements?

* Safari (included with Mac OSX operating system)

Your computer vendor or Internet Service Provider should provide the ability to get these browsers at their respective websites. Note: If you're using an older Macintosh with OS 8 or OS 9, your best bet is to try Netscape 7.0. If I post the instructions they give on this site for the way to set your browser, is there anyone out there up for the challenge of helping me figure out if the BB browser is configuarble to journal on this web site? I would really appreciate some help and I do not know where to go to get it. I am going to copy and paste the instructions for anyone up to the challenge.... also, i have installed Ramble on my BB and that runs great, and can get around on the web pretty well. I can get to the journaling site on Caring Bridge but when I put in an entry it will not "take" to the site. Thank you anyone who is technically into looking into this challenge for/with me. I REALLY appreciate it! Here is what the web site for CB says to do for settings....

Updated and running good here, 8130 @ Alltel. No real changes that I can see yet.

[jhnptrlimo]

I was hopeful with that new solution...thanks...but no good! If I good just go back to the prior update, I would be happy, but desktop manager won't let me downgrade...even after deleting the vendor file. Urghhh!! Verizon was pretty much useless in helping!!!

I recently got a new 8130 and had the same issue. I downloaded the software upgrade program from VZW and when I installed it I had to click on the box, where it lists what applications to install, for the browser. After I did that everything worked fine for me.

Also for something that others were talking about earlier. I can view m.youtube.com but can not stream somafm. Never tried before but thought I'd toss that out there. I'm using VZW .97 download.

I'm wondering if someone can shead some light on the following for me please:

Updating this phone via BB AppLoader - before executing the OS Update - I am presented w/the following warning message <see below>. My Q is what does this mean in terms of what I'll have to reset up after I run this OS update...?

Thanks

[tbhuang2]

Pinstack is ahead of us. I found a thread with a newer OS.
Package 4.3.0.203, App 4.3.0.127 from NTELOS.
Here is their thread: Latest 8130 OS from NTELOS 4.3.0.127 - PinStack.com

[Dawg]

some one just noticed it there first not that anyone is ahead. I have never heard of that carrier so wouldnt have even bothered checking it out. Thanks

[Dawg]

So far no differences noticed except the fact that facebook now doesnt work.
