I have finished the upgrade. Now the 2 times I have connected back to my DM it still prompts me to upgrade. Is there more to do or do I just need to delete the file from my PC.

Not sure but I am curious if you let the applicaton loader run, what does it show you?

In OPTIONS/ABOUT do you see your new version?

Its telling me....

Updated versions of the applications listed below are available for your device.

Then it list everything that is going to be updated. Just like it did when I first did the upgrade.

v4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68)

I am betting you did not check all the needed applications in the OS upgrade, and it still wants you to do so. This was an issue with the Basque language option for one release, it would keep bugging to install it.

[BigDiddy]

That's probably what I did. So should I redo the update or will it mess everything up?

[JSanders]

My first inclination would make sure the important things are checked and let it run.

And it is not biggie if you need to run it again, either, completely fresh.

anyone notice if Google Maps is acting differently? On mine, the GPS resolution dropped from a few feet to 1800 ft.

thanks,

That varies with location and tower information.

[BigDiddy]

Everything is working great now. Thanks to all for your help.

[JSanders]

welcome.

Yes, I understand that, but there is no difference whether I am indoors or out. The circle shows 1600 meters. Now this morning as I type this the darn thing makes me a liar by rsolving down to 3 meters.. There must be a coincidental issue with satellite coverage AND my upgrade.

Strange...

4.5.0.55 improved battery life dramatically

I was having huge battery problems with 4.5.0.37 on the 8310. I tried everything to improve the situation and was about to get a new battery when I updated to OS to 4.5.0.55.

Now battery life is great again. I can go for two full days of hard use without charging (just like before).

[rtv900]

I just picked up a 8310 (hope I have it right AT&T model) curve. I have used an 8700 and a Pearl. I am sad to say I have never upgraded my software on the unit. I have always been worried about messing it up.

I am supprised that the AT&T Curve that I just got from the AT&T store has operating system v4.2.2.170 on it. It looks like we are up to 4.5xxx at this point. Can I jump to 4.5xxx or do I need to go from one to the next until I get there?

I am really concerned that I will mess things up.

Thank you for your help.

Can I just say THANK YOU for such great, clear and easy-to-understand (read: "don't panic if this takes a while") instructions? I don't know how many releases I was behind, but everything works flawlessly and my BB has a brand new, updated look on all the screens - SWEET! Doing the happy dance...

You can go directly to the latest OS.

It did the same for my (2) phones too... But I do have an MMS issue now. On both phones it will not receive any MMS txts.(it show as if the message was send successfully), All regular SMS txt works fine.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ( I am on AT&T by the way)

Thanks,

Thanks,

I am on ATT as well with 8310 and no MMS issues. Did you resend service books?

Also, my son and daughter both have Pearls, both without data plans, and when I upgraded them to 4.5.0.55 they were able to send and receive MMS using our Family Unlimited Multimedia plan and NO Blackberry data plan.
