@Victor:
I too am running .101 now on my 8830. Do you have a icon for Media Player on your device? I can’t get one to show up. The app is there and runs when launch a youtube clip for example, but no icon to run it standalone and play music and such.

I was unable to install the upgrade from the RIM Website, but I found the 4.5.101 upgrade on the web (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V1G8IYSR). Installed and running perfectly on my BB 8830 with BES enabled.

Pros vs 4.5.0.77:
- Responsiveness
- Voice Quality
- No more dropped calls
- Quickest reset process
- Fastest Browser
- Better Blackberry Messenger
- Windows Live Messenger and GTalk runs smoothly
- Includes Ringtones (missing on 4.5.0.77)

What version of the desktop software are you using? First make sure you are using the Desktop Mgr. 4.5 before you download and install the 4.5.77 os

@Victor:
Much as we’d like to see it seems .77 is the highest out there for CDMA.

Does anyone know if there are a newer version than 4.5.0.77 for the 8830 CDMA ?

Thanks, Victor

chadmarkley,

You need to delete or rename vendor.xml and then run the BB Desktpo Software which should detect the new fersion and promto for you to OK the upgrade. It wont install Docs To Go by default you need to go to the App installer screen to do that manually.

So, I have an 8830 from Verizon. I pulled down the 4.5.77 software and I ran the download. Bummer…it only starts up the application installer but it doesn’t do anythng with regards to installing the 4.5 upgrade. What the heck am I doing wrong?

Thx in advance

Bblair, what version of the desktop manager do you have?

By: ocgreenmachine

ocgreenmachine — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 04:22:16 +0000

I just downloaded the file and ran it on my computer. Opened up desktop manager and under device software it shows both 4.2.2.196 and 4.5.0.77. Connected my blackberry 8830 to the computer, and it isn’t updating the device software to 4.5.0.77. Anyone have a fix?

This version ROCKS on my VZW Curve! Just as stable as the 4.3.x releases and battery life seems better than the previous 4.5.x releases.

I installed the OS 4.5.0.77 on my BB 8830 from Sprint with no issues to report. HTML Email looks great! (Remember to resend your service books). GTalk, Google Maps, GMail, Viigo, Opera Mini all working after the restore from back up.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows how to get ALL of the images to download in emails? I have the html email coming thru and only SOME of them download in the email. I have switched my email settings to download automatically, but still no change. I still have to go to the menu key, and select the get images. And then the whole, you will expose your email address to the internet thing comes up. select yes or no. Can anyone help with the situation?

I have an 8330, and this update rocks so far. The html email is better, and no more delay on phone calls.

I Have a sprint 8330 and I have not had 95% of the problems people have been reporting. I have upgraded with each beta version. I am a pretty technically savvy person with most things and consider myself a BB power user. I also have about 45 to 50 third party apps installed at any given time, so you guessed it I am a compulsive installer ill try most things.

Really. I sure hope a better release comes soon. I consider myself pretty tech and Blackberry savvy, and I spent almost the entire day yesterday down hard from screwing with trying 4.5.0.77 on my Verizon 8830. If my experience was indicative of how much “better” .77 is than previos CDMA beta’s then WOW has RIM got a ways to go for a stable 4.5 release. No WONDER we keep hearing about both software and hardware being delayed all over the place from carrier acceptance, RIM has CLEARLY got some serious development problems (too many OS’s/devices trying to launch right now to do any single one right). Between missing rings tones, no vibrate at all, the media player app appearing and disappearing seemingly at random, I finally just gave up and wiped it out back to 4.2.2.196. At least I can hear/feel the phone ring now.

PLEASE RIM, pick either software 4.5/4.6/4.7 or hardware Bold/Storm/Kickstart, focus your attention, and get ONE of them out the door as a properly stable release like we’ve come to expect from you!!!

Does any one know of any further updates for the CDMA 8330 or when the next will be out.
