It seems like CDMA users won’t be too far behind GSM users with OS 4.5 this time around. Links to OS 4.5.0.33 for the BlackBerry 8330 & 8830 are popping up all over the web. We have already had 3 different sets of links sent in to us as tips over the last day.
I tried the 8330 OS on a Sprint 8330 and a friend tried the 8830 OS on a Verizon 8830 and both work well. There are some reports on the 8830 having voice quality issues.
Just as an example of how easy these OS 4.5 links are to find:
8830 CDMA – 8830CDMA_Public_4.5.0_rel48_4.5.0.33.exe
8330 CDMA – 8330CDMA_Public_4.5.0_rel48_4.5.0.33.exe
NOTE: I would not recommend installing these OSs on your Berry if you don’t know what you are doing. Even if you do these may cause problems!!!

HTML emails work if your BES server is configured to do so and is running 4.1.5
to configure run this on the db:
UPDATE ServerConfig SET RichContentEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentEnabled = 0
UPDATE ServerConfig SET RichContentInlineEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentInlineEnabled = 0
UPDATE UserConfig SET RichContentEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentEnabled = 0
UPDATE UserConfig SET RichContentInlineEnabled = 1 WHERE RichContentInlineEnabled = 0

Man I hate rapidshare. Via Firefox 3 the 8830 download has “finished” twice now at only 15MB downloaded (rapidshare says it’s 75MB). Annoying since rapidshare makes you wait 10 minutes between download attempts.
For those wondering about HTML email, it WON’T work if you use BIS UNTIL the BIS 2.5 upgrades RIM is supposed to be doing this weekend.
Oh, and there are screen shots around of Docs to Go on a VZW 8830, so if it’s not there on your device, double check that you enabled installing it in Desktop Manager.

So I have confirmed that outbound SMS does not work on 8330, will test 8830 when I get into the office. SMS inbound does work however trying to send an SMS message you get:
“SMS error 5, message ID XX”
Also would say the device has been running faster, youtube is working, break.com is not (although I didnt know it would work before reading about it here), and I have noticed an issue with typing into text boxes in the browser.

Ok another update, 8830 World Phone AND 8330 Curve both can not send SMS messages on Verizon network.
Also browser has major issues selecting a text box, try going to google and clicking in a text box to type.
I really hope someone out there is smart enough to figure out why SMS isnt working. For the browser issue I think thats here to stay until next version, however I will play with the settings and see what happens.

I figured out how to hide/move icons. It is a little different on this version. You hover over the icon and press the menu button. The method does not work in 4.5.
As for bugs, cannot say that I have noticed any on my Sprint 8830. E-mail, SMS, Call quality, BB Messenger, Viigo, etc… all operating as usual. I did notice that when it came from a sleep mode, the hourglass spun for about a full minute the first time and when I accessed my address book as well but it was a one-time occurrence.
Overall, I am quite pleased

These are the issues i noticed,
1. Browser- problems typing in boxes
2. Ringer/Alarm- VERY VERY LOW RINGER even lower then 4.2!
3. Blackberry messenger- red indicator stays on sometimes
4. Shift/select/copy/paste- doesn’t work!
5. when backlight off selecting ball or pressing key turns on screen and selects whatever the courser is on or presses that key.
6. Media card- cannot access media card from computer or Mass Storage drive.
7. when scrolling does not click
8. have noticed heavy memory leak!

Whats the deal with the new ringtones… I mean they are not new but boy do they sound different. The mp3’s I have loaded sound no different… But say Tune_Entertainer for example.

Upgraded 4.5.0.33 last night on 8830 with Verizon – Required deleting vend0r.xml file
Used these install instructions: http://goesmobile.jhosie.mobi/2008/06/blackberry-pearl-8100-software-upgrade.html
They are NOT specifically for the 8830, but they work none the less.
* Noticed select button no longer works for selecting multiple emails (to delete) or selecting anything (I really miss this feature!)
* Media Player looks nice, but is buggy; hangs on movies and some won’t play anymore. – Sometimes have to reset phone to resolve hung state.
* SMS wasn’t working, but after following “Canson” instructions “Thanks man!”
* To Enable HTML e-mail on BES Server: http://www.blackberryforums.com/bes-admin-corner/125787-howto-enable-disable-html-email-processing-bes-4-1-sp5.html
Enabled this feature, restarted phone and BES Server and HTML Email Rocks!
* HTML Support to all others: http://justanothermobilemonday.com/Wordpress/2008/06/21/blackberry-finally-gets-html-email/
There is supposed to be a network upgrade this weekend to enable full native HTML email support.
*Pressing center ball to wake up selects whatever the cursor is over automatically (annoying and hard to retrain myself to press a different key to wake up from sleep)
*Youtube works nicely although a bit pixelated at times but sound quality is superb.
*Love the updates to the daily calendar view, Address book, and browser
*For you road warriors out there, I came across vlingo “http://downloads.vlingo.com” today and am very impressed with it (free speech to text utility).
*GoogleMaps 2.2.0 works well (no GPS though, thanks Verizon!). Wish BBerry Maps had Cellular Triangulation. For that matter, wish Verizon allowed GPS; heck, why not wish for a Bentley while I’m at it.
All in all I like the updates, can live with the bugs (now that SMS is working), and can’t wait for future releases.

Canson,
Not sure if this will do anything, but on Verizon they use servicebooks to allow the phone to know what it can do on Verizon’s network. At one point I knew a way to delete all the service books but I forgot. You can request a service book update from the BES Server and also from Verizon directly. To request a service book update from Verizon access your e-mail settings on the blackberry. Once logged into your account you can click a link for servicebook update which will re-sync with your phone. From BES right click your name and select “Send Servicebook update”.
If this doesn’t fix the problem you could double check the security Firewall to verify nothing is getting blocked.
Last resort would be to Backup your device and wipe the handheld. Options / Security Options / General Settings / Options Key / Wipe Handheld.
After the wipe I would see if youtube works. If not just restore. If it does work have fun reinstalling your apps…
P.S. Don’t ever pull out the battery again use Ctrl+Alt+Del or for the BBerry “Lt ALT+ Rt Shift + Del”
Hope something here helps.

Tried all of these things… I am on the bell network and I have sent the service books already. I see in my listing of servicebooks that some have a red x. Also… If it was in the firewall setting what could I do besides allow all??? Thanks for taking the time to write everything you have
I will keep at it. If you have any other ideas be sure to post.

After hunting all over for the vendor.xml file so I could rename it I appear to have gotten this to work. It installed, rebooted and seems to work. *crosses fingers*

I had installed unite! 1.01 before OS4.5 I can see there is an IT policy called Bluetooth tracking. How the hell do I get this thing off of here???

VZW 8830 works fine. Noticed a little heating when watching Youtube videos, but that’s to be expected. Waiting for HTML e-mail though… I’m sick of having to read HTML, very annoying… The Bold needs to be out sooner. Why does RIM make us do this to ourselves!?!?

I’m also having a problem with playing youtube videos. It comes up with a message Javascript is not enabled. However, in my settings it shows enabled. Tried resetting but no luck. Anyone else having this problem?

Ok, I figured out how to play Youtube videos. While in Browser, select Browser options, then Browser Configuration. The Emulation Mode is defaulted to Microsoft IE. Change it to Blackberry. After doing this, Youtube works fine.

I’ve loaded and started using Vlingo after verfying everything working with 4.5 beta. All I can say is wow, it has brought the BB to a new level of performance!
The program allows one to do google searches, texting, and emailing hands free. There is no drain on the memory, since it streams data from a server in Cambridge, MA. Not a problem, if you are on an unlimited data plan. A little buggy, still in it’s beta release. But very cool and useful.
Jeromy, many kudos for the link

Browser, email, sms (incoming and outgoing) and making/receiving calls all work fine on VZW 8830, I did resend the service books (though I probably didn’t need to) but did not delete any. The only odd thing I;ve noticed is that the first day the phone seemed slowwwwww but the next day response time was about the same as before.

@Tim: Are you using shift+trackball to select text, or choosing Select from the menu? And have you tried to select text in the browser?
Tim Not Registered

The menu option, never knew about the shift+trackball option. Just tried that and it does not work anymore (but does on my non-updated curve). Also works in the browser.

Carson,
If you want to eliminate the IT Policy you’ll have to wipe the device : Options > Security Options > General Settings > Blackberry button – Wipe Handheld.
Be sure to back up all data because it will erase everything. It also gives to option to preserve 3rd party apps.
Other than that, youll have to you the JD Builder, which pretty much forces you to eliminate the OS and youll have to reinstall the 4.5. Let me know

Is there away to get HTML Email when you are not on a Enterprise server My mail is a normal POP account that was setup and then registered at https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw
Tim Not Registered
Posted: June 30, 2008 at 5:30 PM EST
The new BIS is running on Verizon now so if you’ve installed the software linked above you should be getting it now. If not go to the link you posted and resend your service books and pull the battery for a few seconds. When finishes booting go into the messagins section and mane sure HTML email is enabled from there. Mine was by default but some people have to enable it manually.
Just so you are on the same page, understand something, the BB has the ability to VIEW HTML email, not generate it and when you reply to html email it turns it into plain text.

Adding up to the YouTube thing, I have sprint CDMA service and it works great. I have the browser emulation set to blackberry and I also use the following URL to access the site: http://m.youtube.com
I’ve notice that if I enter http://www.youtube.com I have some problems viewing it site.
Another idea, have you guys done a device wipe after or before installing, I think it helps to eliminate any extra bagage the os might have or get after the install.

I couldn’t get desktop manager to recognize the os at all and used all versions, so I made it update it by replacing the folders for 4.3 with 4.5, and then I also noticed that none of my videos would work, not .mp4 or .3gp, other than that is was fine, if anyone has any tips for installing this because I could really use it, please email me at [email protected]

You ned to rename or delete the file Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader/vedor.xml This file blocks OS installs not meant for your device. I always rename it because in case you want or need it back.

Loaded it last night onto my Verizon 8830.
* Select using the Shift key now works
* SMS still works
* Youtube video is much better quality (still can’t save but at least it doesn’t crash when trying to save).
* Pressing center track ball when sleeping does NOT also select the application (works as expected.)
Have fun!

NOTE regarding 4.5.0.51 Upgrade – When I upgraded my phone it deleted all my apps and didn’t put them back and I had to download them again manually; however, I didn’t mind so much because I had a-lot of junk installed.
Also, during the upgrade process the 1st time the application didn’t complete the upgrade and I thought my phone was hosed. I rebooted my phone (Left Alt + Right Up Arrow + Del) while connected to the USB cable, re-started the BlackBerry Desktop 4.5, and re-ran the upgrade which completed the 2nd time successfully.
Lastly I didn’t have to delete the veodor.xml file
Sweet! but I did loose all my ota downloaded themes.
Highly recommend running a backup before upgrading your phone.

Hey lonewolf:
First off what are you doing installing such old beta software? Several newer betas are posted about here at BerryReview!
As to fixing your device, you probably have to do a device full wipe from Desktop Manager, or you could try playing with JavaLoader GUI:

Full wipe and install twice. Constant lockups. No idea why or what app. Nothing installed but base beta OS and docs to go. Synced with Outlook2007 and after that just all out flaky. Oh well.
