UPDATE: Issues remedied in this release:

- Shift-select has been fixed (in both messages and browser)
- Multi-input issue has been resolved in the browser
- Random reboot/hang issues during browsing is resolved/much-less
- SMS send delay/fault has been resolved
- Delay when calling or answering phone calls has been reduced

I was enjoying a relaxing 4th of July weekend but I had to take a break to post this. I just got a tip from another nameless faithful readers with a link to OS 4.5.0.45 for the CDMA 8330. This is OS 4.5.0.45 Rel 65. I know many of you have been dying to upgrade from the OS 4.5.0.33 we mentioned before.

Sadly there is already a later release of OS 4.5.0.51 Rel 74 but our tipster could not locate it. I am currently in the process of installing this on a Sprint 8330.

NOTE: Install at your own risk. This is probably a beta and may break your BlackBerry or even cause your home to self destruct. Please exercise caution and let us know your experiences in the comments.

Just as an example of where you can find 4.5.0.45 for the 8330 check out the link below:

Thanks for the tip anonymous! Keep on sending them in!

    I upgraded my Sprint 8330 to 4.5.0.45 and found one minor bug with the text messages as well.

    If I send a text to myself from: hxxp://messaging.sprintpcs.com/textmessaging/composeconfirm

    I do not get the sound notification, the text indicator at the top increments, and the text folder shows I have a message, but I can not see it. On 4.5.0.33 this worked fine. I think it has to do with the name being blank, when sending text from this site. Text from other users works just fine. Any one else try this?

    My Sprint is working with You tube mobile fine, the only bug I see is the voice mail icon that doesn’t disappear. Battery life is good and Sprint TV is functional. HTML email works with the occasional image that needs to be manually loaded. I’m sure a final approved firmware will address all these issues, lets face it were guinea pigs at this point.

    My video plays fine wether it be U tube or any other stream But if I stop a movie before it finshes playing I get a large memory leak If I let the clip complete Its ok The only way to fix it when I stop a movie is remove the battery.

    He won’t post it, he’s either prevented by law/agreement or … well, I won’t speculate why ELSE.

    Yeah I’ve had the same experience. The new OS no doubt has a larger memory footprint than the previous ones.

    I loaded .33 a week or so ago and while it has some bugs, it works well. I knew it was a beta or a “leaked” version but I am pretty well versed in this technology so I think I know what I’m doing. I can handle it if something goes wrong and I need to change things. That being said, when I hear someone say ” the latest OS is out there!!!”, I’m thinking that if it has been uploaded somewhere, I could find it, install it and make my BB even better. I don’t have a problem with anyone saying that they have a new version that was releaed to THEM for testing and maybe a few others, but just tell us that. We trust that you’ll let us know the details and eventually. we’ll get it. I just think it’s wrong to let 10,000 addicts think there is a new version and for three days everyone is going bonkers googling evrything to try to find it when the original posters know it’s not out there. Mattguyver said on another site that this version is so good that only 1 or 2 more releases before the final release tells me that it was probably a private release to him and a few others. That’s great, I appreciate that there are people involved that get to these sites and keep us informed of the progression. Just please don’t tease everyone.

    I installed 4.5.0.45 and I have the same Voicemail bug as described a few posts above, a battery pull will eliminate the message icon on the top of the screen. Also I’m using a “ZEN” theme with the icons aligned to the side and after arranging the icons the way I like and doing a battery pull, it will not remember the placement of the icons on the side.

    Otherwise a decent OS and hopefully 4.5.0.51 will correct these minor issues.

    I am wondering when someone will find 4.5.0.52 for the curve 8330 I see its there for the 8300,8310 and 8320 The same release has to be somewhere for the 8330

  17. Posted by: SPD2612

    8300,8310 and 8320 are GSM phones and the software from them is different.

    I found a bug on .45. If you use the 3.5m headset jack you will have to reboot the phone to hear someone on the other end of the call.

    @kevin:
    Dude, that was JULY!!! We’re up to like 90th revision since then! Go seek 4.5.0.135. On Sprint MMS won’t work with any prior version. Upgrade then make sure to log into your BIS and send service books. Any other carrier, install .135 to pc, delete vendor.xml, upgrade, and send service books.
