CDMA OS 4.5.0.51 For 8330 Found Online

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!

Excellent! Now i’m ready to install os 4.5!

Question…For those brave enough to try this new build of OS 4.5. How are all your apps working after upgrading your phone? I have tried earlier builds and for some reason viigo and jivetalk start acting up. Please post results of upgrade please? Thanks so much!

I had a few problems with this one as I was continually receiving “1xev” instead of “1XEV”… I found that it was simply a permissions issue on the “Core Applications”… after allowing the connections my data connection was working fine… this version also addresses the voicemail icon issue from 4.5.0.45 as we are now able to delete the yellow icon.

JFig,

I haven’t noticed partial html, but I can never get all the images to load.

Can somebody host the file somewhere other than rapidshare?

Got to say, it’s been a GREAT week for OS upgrades! I just wish RIM would put the providers on notice that they are not going to stand for them sitting on innovation anymore! I hope now that BlackBerry is a house hold name they can renegotiate to allow for OS upgrades and public betas without needing to inform the providers. The providers don’t want you to have OS upgrades direct from RIM (or Microsoft for that matter) because the providers want to evaluate if they can charge you for these new features (i.e. GPS, etc..) SHAME ON YOU VERIZON, ATT, TMOBILE, SPRINT.

Has anyone on sprint tried to use telenav with os 4.5.0.51? if so, how well or not well does it work?

Sprint TV locked me out of the rest of the phone… couldnt do anything but watch and listen.. no volume control, nothing. Had to battery pull. Worked fine afterwards
Youtube works. Nav works (didnt actually go anywhere). Jivetalk works
Having same problem with folders just the standard manilla folder, also having the problem with partial loading of html mail
Still lags at sending SMS
Whole system seems slower now.. =(
Might revert back to .45

Get an server error message when I tried to access Sprint Nav.

@Phil:
Some people have had to log into their BIS site and resend Service Books.

Has anyone without a BIS plan upgraded to 4.5? Any problems? thx

Updated my Verizon 8330 to OS 4.5.0.51 from the previous beta .33. HTML email is the most welcome fix I have discovered. It now works wonderfully. The EVDO network speed seems to have improved also, however that may simply be the fixes to the browser. I tested the speed to load ESPN.com while sitting right next to my friend who had the new 3g I-Phone and I was only a tiny bit slower. overall a very impressive upgrade. I would highly recommend this OS update to anyone who just purchased the 8330. It really improves things.

I do have to say that I am REALLY jacked about the GPS reciever not being able to work with google maps or any other 3rd party map software. As a solution, I paired the 8330 with the Globalsat puck bluetooth GPS reciever and that works with all the map programs. You just have to select it as the default GPS device under settings. I also took the time to berate one of the techs from Verizon after he explained that the GPS is locked down for security reasons. If that’s the case, why can i pick up GPS satelites through this external reciever? When Verizon gives you this explanation, don’t accept it. The fact is there are NO security risks to the network or device by simply being able to use the internal GPS reciever with something other than VZ navigator. Navigator stinks and we should have options. Verizon is just looking for your 9.99 a month and won’t accept that there is freeware out there like GMM that blows their maps away. I wonder if anyone at Verizon has realized that paying out class action suits is more expensive than losing a little revenue on extra services. Thier coverage may be terrific, but again and again they act like the soviet minions of the wireless phone industry. I’m sure many of you agree.

If you haven’t upgraded your 8330 yet, do this update. It’s pretty solid. and a monkey could do it.

Has anyone on sprint received a picture mail correctly after this update???

If I receive a picture mail, it directs me to the PC version of the website, it doesn’t provide the link for viewing as it previously did. Has anyone else experienced this or found a workaround?

I got my Curve for Sprint several weeks ago.
Problem: I can’t load the new device os OR anything else with
Any DeskTop Manager version. All of them say the device
is connected but no Pin number shows. So useless.
Sprint Tech Support and I have worked on this problem for
hours and still no answer.
I know that many of us are smarter than Sprint Techs but I
have racked my brain, nothing else to try that I can think of.
I would appreciate ANY help on this as I can’t even backup
the bought and free software on the device. I am still running
the same software that came on the device because I can’t
download any other version or anything else.
Thanks Chuck, not a newbe

m.youtube.com on TELUS, dose this build allow Telus users to play youtube mobile yet? i know Telus has a known issue with it. so can someone please confirm is this new build helps Telus users play youtube videos.

Thanks for your comment, the only one so I really appericate
It, tolcrackmonkey. Good question and one we have already
covered I thought of that one.
I checked and alas and alack I am running 2.0. I have a fairley new Dell with all the stuff but I still checked. I am
begining to think it’s a bad port on the Curve. It will charge
the phone but no data.
I also have a Pearl also with Sprint and it works perfectly with
4.5 soooo It must be bad port on handset.
Mine was put together when Rim was “under the gun” to hump
out units and I believe quality control was over worked. However I will return the phone and get a new one as this one
was 2 days under the 30 days. The retail store/tech center
tried to give me a Curve only out 3 days, the person wanted
a red one. But you never know what could have happened in
those 3 days. By the way the 3 day old Curve was the only
one available in Nashville, TN

tolcrackmonkey, I sure appreciate your continued interest.
I haven’t tried the front usb ports only the ones in the back
of which there are many, I’ve tried them all.

I now have taken the Curve in to the Sprint retial tech support
and they, in about 3 minutes, said it was the port on the device. I am inclined to agree due to the fact that 4.5 desktop
at least sees my Pearl.

It could really be a bad port however I find it hard to believe
since the port allows the device to charge.

However, being a ham radio operator and holder of the
1st Class FCC license as a chief enginer, I know that it’s
possible however unlikeley due to the fact the port should
already be wired and checked before it is installed.

Thanks again for our continued interest, I am still open to
any possibility. I like this particular Curve as I have comparied several and my screen is far brighter.

Please forgive the spelling as this answer came across at
2 am and I’m not fully awake.

Iagree.Many thanks

Good idea DavidB!
I just bought my wife a new laptop and, I don’t know why,
oops! yes I do, It has Vista as os. I have heard people with
problems installing desktop manager with Vista.
However I have quite a few friends who, like me, run windows
XP Pro.
I’ll give it a shot.
Thank You!

Well then tolcrackmonkey, this I will try when she gets home.
I mean, It couldn’t hurt! (Famous last words)
Thanks

Steve:

Thank you for the idea. I have already downloaded 4.5.0,51
but I can’t load it on the Curve without Desktop Mgr.
I downloaded and installed 4.5 Desktop but it does the same
thing it says it sees the phone but pin: NONE
Thank You anyway I am one of the top people helpers on several other sites but not ready with BB although I have learned a lot since Nov 07 1st pearl now curve i have both
as I’ve said the Pearl works on dt 4.5

You have to delete the vendor xml file to up date the OS

Just installed on a Telus 8330. Install went without a problem.

I hoped to fix the GPS problem many of us had with the curve from Telus. No luck, actually it’s worst since Telus Navigator doesn’t work at all, and without TN I’m unable to get any apps to get a GPS position.

Bugs / New feature found:
Samecell stopped working.
Telus Navigator stopped working.
HTML email is great!
PIN lookup are finally working.
Docs to GO give an error when registering but seems to work.

So, Ryan, you are a) on Verizon and b) have a Curve 8330 and c) pay Verizon for VZNavigator ? And once you installed this device OS, the GPS location works in Blackberry Maps program??? You seem to be the first to report that happening. Anyone else on Verizon getting GPS working in something other than VZNavigator (and Google Maps “My Location” doesn’t count)???

new link to 4.5.0.51 so i know people are still looking for it…
