detectivestock Another tip from one of our secret agents. Turns out that OS 4.5.0.77 is now making its rounds around the interweb. Many people have spotted it already but we had a set of links sent in as proof:

You can find them at the links below:

8330: http://www.mediafire.com/?ejfzak4uy3f
8830: http://www.mediafire.com/?gnvehbcgiw3

This fixes the 1-2 second delay before a call is successfully answered and you get a voice path. Let us know what else you find.

UPDATE: Thanks to The Fantom we have another link to the 8330 OS at: http://www.mediafire.com/?zsm2xsbhdmv

    This is Sweet! This means RIM is working hard to finalize this and to release 4.5 to all US Carriers. I wonder why they removed 4.5 version from MTS? Perhaps they found a problem with it. Who knows…

    Guys, Please comment on performance and compatibility for 3rd party apps with this new version please?

    Thanks

    cool. i guess that’s what i am/was getting on .56MTS when i’d speed dial someone. the call starts as if it will be on speaker but quickly goes back to handset. let’s see what happens.

    i’ve encountered a problem trying to install a theme boldberry(http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/showthread.php?t=83838) for 4.5

    i did both the desktop and OTA and it says they’re installed but when i goto options->theme it’s not listed as a choice.

    i’ve pulled the battery…etc just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

    I just installed 77 and it seems to work fine. Although I have not encounter most or any of the issues that most people have and are having on some of the other versions. I have used these versions in order .33, .45, .51, .66, 56.(MTS) and now .77. Yes I am a power user and a compulsive installer. I have ton of crap installed on my BB 8330 CDMA Curve on Sprint. The one thing I wish RIM would put back in the OS is the forced roam option.

    Guys

    I decided to install this version of 4.5 OS and found a couple of improvements.
    First, I noticed data connection seems more solid now. My apps like Jivetalk seem to connect faster now when first launched.

    Second, I noticed answering calls on my bb appear to work with virtually no delays. The overall OS seems faster and more responsive. I am happy I decided to upgrade!

    Works ok on my Verizon 8830. The ringtone thing SEEMS to be louder for me now, so that’s cool. However, it erased all my built in ringtiones and only left the ones that I had put on my memory card. Anyone else have this problem?

    I am getting a new 8830 via Asurion today, I will load this when it gets here and report back to you all! I cannot wait!!!

    This one does seem to fix the answer delay, but I still get a 1 second blast from the speaker phone when answering. Everything else seems to be good.

  17. Posted by: Dominik
    August 27, 2008 at 10:52 am EST

    I have yet taken a call on this new OS but previous betas I never got the speakphone blast.

  18. Posted by: purephase
    August 27, 2008 at 10:56 am EST

    Yeah, noise is still there when answering but it does seem faster. Everyone always asks me whether I’ve just yelled into the phone after answering it.

    (8830….. .77) The preloaded ringtones are missing from this build. There seems to be some memory leak….looks sturdy so far. I think .51 did a better job at resolving the memory leak.

    Dimachka, thanks for the link but that looks complicated. Does anyone know of a site that just has those preloaded ringers available for download? I’ll just put them on my media card and not worry about the vibrate function for awhile

    look in the thread again and read the last few comments BBerryMan, the procedure is extremely simple now.

    I downloaded last night on my 8330 sprint and it’s running smoothly I must say. I still have all my pre-loaded ringtones. I did notice that my internet connection is faster and smoother. So far so good!!

    So, I love the fact that all the ringtones are not forced to be loaded .. if by mistake or not, lots more room on the phone. Other than that no big changes. STILL no youtube on my 8830!

    Hey those that are too slow to follow the directions on Crackberry to get your Ringtones back, look on the forums at Pinkstack for them. Someone has posted a Zip file with all of them on there.
    8830 ringer volume problems definently are solved with this build. Phone is A LOT louder.

    Couple of immediate things I noticed that it does fix from version 4.5.0.66

    1. It fixes the 2 second delay when answering a call to actually receiving the audio.

    2. Docs2go got an original folder icon, but it did downgrade the version. No biggie, the update can be downloaded ota again. However, once you do the update, the nifty folder icon goes away.
    - If anyone knows how to extract this and add it back in please let me know.

    3. It’d be nice if they could find a way to make this boot up faster. I have to laugh everytime it boots up and says “Rated for SprintSpeed”, but no luck there.

    4. Sprint Navigation / TeleNav works very well. It seems a little faster than with 4.5.0.66.

    5. I have a little more free memory for some reason. About 4Mb to be exact.

    6. HTML e-mail is a little bit weird still. Every once in a while it doesn’t automatically grab the images even though it is configured to do so.

    7. Overall with OS 4.5 (any stepping) Blackberry Messenger seems a little more stable.

    8. When you do the alt-rightshift-h feature, it shows uptime. Maybe it always has with os 4.5, but I am just noticing it.

    9. When viewing videos in the media player it doesn’t pick a random place to start, it actually starts at the beginning. I don’t know if everyone had this problem in os 4.5.0.66, but I did.

    Uptime is in 4.2.2, it was missing in other 4.5.x builds?
    Have you tried youtube?

    August 27, 2008 at 2:51 pm EST

    When I upgraded from .66 to .77 I kept all of the ringtones.

    August 27, 2008 at 2:53 pm EST

    I did the update and now can’t change the profile options for messages and the like for some reason.

    When I go into Advanced – Profiles, it doens’t let me go into Edit.

    The memory problem seems fixed but this profile is new.

    The ringtones issue only seems to be happening with the 8830 update, not the 8330…

    I just went to http://m.youtube.com and watched the Fronk N Dego – “The Merchandise” move with no problems. Seemed to stream very well actually.

    Do you have an 8830 or an 8330… I cannot stream from youtube… no matter what I try. I can stream from break.com however… :(

    Under advanced options there is a new option for Wireless upgrade

  40. Posted by: Tim
    August 28, 2008 at 2:43 am EST

    The MTS version also has the Wireless Upgrade option BUT it doesn’t do anything and I believe I read somewhere you had to be on a BES for wireless upgrade, someone correct me if I’m wrong.

  41. Posted by: DavidB
    August 28, 2008 at 8:39 am EST

    Well, since there is not yet anything available to upgrade TO, of COURSE wireless upgrade doesn’t work! ;)

    Once there is an official 4.5 from your carriers, AND then another 4.5 or a 4.6 or whatever is officially released, only THEN will wireless upgrade do anything.

    I have to say that I am impressed with this release so far. I have a Sprint 8330 and with all the other OS 4.5 releases, I was only able to partially load HTML e-mails…some images would load while others would not…even after selecting Get Images. After installing this update, my HTML e-mails download without a problem.

    I had the same problem with the profile not being available (8830). I plugged it into the desktop manager, deleted the current “Profile” and did a selective restore of the profile from the last backup on 4.2…..

    (8330) Been all over Long Island myself and no problems. It seems more responsive and quick. Browser seems a bit faster as well. No issues here at all. Good version.

    Is it possible to use this .77 with my 8310 or is it not recommended? I just do not konow whether it’s worth downloading just to realize it’s buggy and all…:)
