This happened to my friend too. I wonder if you have to update your version before doing it. I’m running the 4.5.0.138 and mine is working with no problems.

This is used for the ‘Recovery Emails’ section of ‘Edit My Info’. It wirelessly backs up your contact list for you. If you reinstall, it will send that email again, BBM reads the email and says, “Yep, that’s for me.” and then it requests your contacts back and restores them. Works like a charm; had to do it last night when I installed OS 5.0.0.130 and reinstalled BBM.

Hey Guys,

I am one of the many who installed bb messenger 5.0 as soon as it came out. Worked fine for a day after which it started having issues, 3 out of 5 messages would go, the status of my contacts wouldn’t change, messages would be delayed by 20 min etc etc.

I managed to do a good install used it for 3 days now without any issue, although i probably wiped my phone 10 15 times until i realized the problem. It seems that 1st you cant install the new bb messenger on top of the old one, neither can you load contacts from the old one to the new one from a back up (Went through all databases one by one). Both of these create a issue with the bbm.

What I did was use jl cmdr, and wipe out my entire blackberry and reloaded the os minus blackberry messenger. Then I installed the new blackberry messenger on the phone with a clean os which has no blackberry messenger files. I then loaded my entire backup on my phone the normal way and got a java error my bbm wasn’t working. But what i did was use the bbm to create a backup of all my contacts on my media card.

I repeated the entire process again wiping the phone, loaded the os without bbm, installed the new one once the phone started and imported all my contacts through my backup. Now what i did, i opened my backup through the advanced feature of desktop manager and loaded all my databases except the bb messenger, Google messenger ones.

My phone works like a charm plus I didn’t loose all my databases. What i did loose was my applications but i didn’t mind installing 10 of them again.

Hope this works for you guys

Ok, so one of my friends sent me a note on my messenger to tell me to make sure all of my permissions were set on the new messenger.

From the main screen go to Options -> Advance Options -> Applications Then hilight the BBM & press the Menu/Blackberry button, then “Edit Default Permissions” and set all three fields (Connections, Interactions, User Data) are set to “Allow”.

I did this on my 8900 and now I can see the pics my friends have set as their profile pic. My friend who has the 8310 from T-Mobile didn’t have that happen with hers though. In any event, I suggest everyone do it just as a precaution to make sure some of the potential “bugs” don’t mess up the bbm.

@hitman36 I don’t think its network related, on my Storm I seem to have some messages that are not going through at all. They never change to delivered and I called the person and asked and they did not receive them. Seems to happen at least once every 4 or 5 messages. Will probably downgrade when I get home later today.

Busy does not autoset on the storm either, somewhat frustrating as it gives no feedback as to what is going on if I need an answer to a question from a colleague etc…. Hope they fix this too. Status is for sure an issue so far on my Storm.

Be careful installing the BBM, mine doenst work well with it and sending messages 20 minutes later. i guess its network related.

My Sprint 9630 Tour, battery pulls and the icon is still there. Used DM 5.0 to load the BBM on my BB.

All the problems I handled today were OTA upgrades so via PC seems to have worked for you. Hopefully thats the answer. I will try it both ways when I have time too to get a proper test result.

Ciao! Hope you enjoy the battery drain that’s guaranteed with your brand new Pre.

Great news. Just seems to be the odd handset then. I suppose I would not know about any people who were not having any problems.
