Thanks for being so fast on the sticky. Perhaps there won't be a billion threads created now.

Wow! Thanks! Downloading it now. Super fast on this sticky! You are awesome.

**young_adam** · 08-25-2009, 10:18 AM

So far so good on 4.6.0.297. Time will tell if battery life is improved, etc.

**Morganizer** · 08-25-2009, 10:18 AM

BTW AT&T users do not need to delete vendor.xml

**tmodaniel** · 08-25-2009, 10:22 AM

We don't have to delete the vendor file for AT&T?

**vbev84** · 08-25-2009, 10:28 AM

No because it's AT&T's new offical os

**JasW** · 08-25-2009, 10:35 AM

Wonder of wonders, AT&T has the latest Bold OS stickied, lol.

**litesout** · 08-25-2009, 10:35 AM

Finally, an update without having to delete the vendor file! What a concept! Thanks AT&T!

**I_love_my_bold** · 08-25-2009, 10:36 AM

still haven't figured out how to use VVM. Left myself a voice message and nothing showed up in the vvm app. just the usual voicemail icon.

But I did notice that when I deleted an application I no longer need, it no longer says that i have to reboot for it to be removed.

Haha, good point to make. Us lovers of upgrading/changing the OS so much are used to that step. It's nice to not have to worry about it, for once.

**kelvinsw** · 08-25-2009, 10:41 AM

It got East Asia support too

great!
Downloading...hope is good one, so I won't need to download to 282.

**Snownation** · 08-25-2009, 10:41 AM

Can non AT&T users use this too?

**AClayeJ** · 08-25-2009, 10:42 AM

Yaah!!! Finally!! Been using VVM since yesterday, but maybe this will fix the photo loading!! Getting it now.

Yes, just delete the vendor file though.

**sfjon918** · 08-25-2009, 10:43 AM

i notice on rim website, that there's two versions of .297 east asia and multi

**Chaldo** · 08-25-2009, 10:47 AM

I am downloading it, will this update delete any files I have on my phone and BBM contacts I have???

**Dinesh™** · 08-25-2009, 10:49 AM

Just upgraded to .292 yesterday, but downloading and will install .297 the moment download is over

**Hairbear1954** · 08-25-2009, 10:49 AM

It is always wise to backup your phone and 3rd party apps before doing any updating....there are threads on here on how to do that if you do not know how.

**jeffreii** · 08-25-2009, 10:52 AM

Can anyone confirm whether this fixes the .282 media card loading issue? i.e. every time you use mass storage mode when plugged into a computer it re-scans the entire Micro SD card when you disconnect? Thanks
