The Virgin download of OS 4.5.0.56 is available...

I just installed the Virgin 4.5 OS onto my Sprint 8130. A couple of weird issues since I did it --- wondering if you guys have seen this or not:

It says I have EVDO all the time, which I know I don't. I live in a place without EVDO, and my speed is still the same, regardless of what the indicator says.

Also, non of my GPS apps can get a fix on my location post-update (GoogleMaps, BBMaps, Garmin).

EDIT -- one more weird thing --- whenever I use the phone, my background reverts to the Sprint default background, but it reverts to the background I have chosen (saved on media card) whenever I hang up on a call.

And I HAVE done a hard (battery pull) reset, to no avail.

Ok, so I followed the instructions above. I did receive an error at the very end of the process saying that the DM couldn't contact the device. The device seems to be updated and I have all my accounts loaded. I am connected back to my BIS and BES accounts. The only problem, all of the email I had prior to the upgrade is gone. I am receiving new messages, but I lost all my old messages. The only messages that show up are text messages and placed/received phone calls. Any ideas??

Found out that the GPS issue was just a settings problem, but still can't fix the whole "background vanishes during phonecalls" and "always says I have EVDO even when I don't" issues. Anyone else having these issues after upgrading a Sprint 8130?

You simply needed to manually restore the backup the loader made. Now, however, if you restore it you'll lose the new messages in place of the old.

John/other mods...can we please re-sticky this thread and unsticky and maybe also retitle the .66 thread, since .66 is MIA and .56 is the most recent OS actually available?

Seems confusing the way it is now, w/.66 stickied w/no OS download, and this thread floating around unstickied.

Is unstickied in the OED?

Great thanks. I definitely think that is kind of a critical step that wasn't in the initial instructions. Kind of a bummer. I have two days of emails now and no way to integrate the 5 months of previous emails that I would like back on my blackberry.


So I just restore the backup from DM? will it restore from the backup made during the upgrade? Do I need to selectively restore or just the defaults work?

The process will automatically restore. However if there is a problem sometimes it won't. Usually it gives you a message saying to manually restore the backup.

As for what to do now, you can restore each database individually using the asdvanced tab or restore the whole thing. Be aware it will restoe it to where it was at that backup and anything done since will be overwritten.

John...so, not going to re-sticky this, unsticky 4.5.0.66 thread?

[tbhuang2]

What happened to 4.5.0.66 / 4.5.0.90?

You may need to add that to the first post in this thread... ;)

Ok, so is it just me or do the images not automatically download even though I have that option enabled? When I open an email with images they sit as placeholders until I hit the menu button and say download images. I have the option selected to automatically do this.

I've had the same problem but didn't see it addressed here.

That's how it works at this point - you have to ask for the download in each individual email. Currently no way to enable auto download of images in spite of what that setting seems to imply.

You may also find that not all of the images download even when you tell them to. I find myself going to Gmail, using Opera Mini, when I want to see the entire html email. Kind of negates that nice feature of having html email in the BB client.

A friend of mine in Verizon national accounts received an internal company email stating that 4.5 for Curve and Pearl is due out next week. Heavy BES focus, plus some additional general enhancements.

New OS for the 88XX (international device - can't remember the number) is delayed.

Nothing additional reported on software.

Verizon Storm in November and the Pearl flip January 2009.

That is all.
