I went back and just reinstalled 4.6.1.231

I hope the next upgrade is actually worthwhile!

Having the same problem with UMA to mobile transition and back, but my battery life is up to 2 DAYS! I have to turn off wifi and turn it back on and it switches over but other than that its fine for me the battery life alone is worth it

last couple of upgrades seem to have diminished my bbm copy pasting ability. wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.

i used to be able to put copy the history from bbm ad when i paste it into notes to save it, i would have enough history to take up almost all of the available characters in the notes program up to about 2000 lines of text or so, so that I would need to split the conversation up into 4 or even 5 emails to get a record of it saved to my inbox. but since i started using the upgrades from the website i've noticed that when I copy history, it only takes about 300 lines of copied text. whatever lines of text there were in the bbm conversation prior to the last 300 or so are all lost.

has anyone else had this problem with the upgraded firmware?

thanks

This problem seems to be related to wifi handling. Turning it off and using the mobile network for sms and calls improves the quality.

If you're using UMA, call quality is heavily affected by limited bandwidth considerations (i.e. if you're downloading things simultaneously).

After upgrading, my call logs no longer show the incoming, outgoing, and missed icons. Does anyone know how to get it back?

Edit: NVM.. I found the settings.

does it contain arabic language?

segeln4me · 07-04-2009, 09:21 AM

I had communication problems with T-Mobile recognizing my 8900 for data after upgrading to this release and went back to .231 with no problems now. I have no complains about .231 and will just wait for 5.0 to be official!

Can anyone confirm whether this pack has the Japanese language fonts installed?

So far, I can only find the east asian language pack for bold 9000.

When everyone refers to .250 or .114 which version is that? in the phone in about it is referring to v4.6.1.xxx but when i see threads with new OS's released I see two of them with a / between them. I'm assuming it is referring to the second set of numbers after the / ?

Thanks

MidnightDraven · 07-15-2009, 04:20 PM

If you at it.
the first number refers to the PACKAGE version the second number refers to the APPLICATIONS version
OS's are usually referred to by the APPLICATION number.

Installed .250 on my second (wife's) 8900 last night. Everything seems to be working OK with both.

I have this issue (yes, I've deleted the Vendor.xml file) with this upgrade that I've never had any issues before with any other upgrade.

When I upgrade, it gives me 3 choices:
4.6.1.250
4.6.1.231
4.6.1.114

I select the first one but then it says no upgrade available. I've wiped the device several times with no luck. If I select .231, it asks me to confirm a "DOWNGRADE." WTH?

it could be because you have all 3 version on your computer installed..... i think
