I've been running Alltel .81 for about a week now and have not lost any messages etc the way I did with Verizon .60. Interestingly, though I started at about 16MB memory, today after several days without a reboot my File Free Memory is at 0! Everything is still running though, I think I won't reboot and see what happens.

Oh well. I just realized I lost my SMS messages and my Phone log. File space still at 0 though. Time to reboot and recover from backup.

just pull the battery..

Yeah I pulled the battery - SoftReset wasn't working, got an exception for some reason - maybe not enough File space ;-)

Still had to recover SMS and Phone log from backup though.

Okay guys trying to do this .81 upgrade to my Verizon 8130 but I can't seem to get the Desktop Manager which Iam using 4.2 Service Pack 2 to prompt me to upgrade. I went in after downloading the upgrade and removed the Vendor file and ran the update setup to install the update on my computer. But when I start DM it still doesn't prompt me that there is an update available. So what am I doing wrong with this. Do I need to be using v4.3 DM to do this upgrade?

You need to delete the vendor file after you install the app. Then run DM.

I believe the 4.3 update to DM is requried to install any application on the 8130. I did the update with 4.3 DM and it worked fine.

I don't think it is I have had 4.2 since it came out and have not had a problem.

Got it to work. When I first downloaded the update from RIM I went in and deleted the vendor file but when I actually installed the software on my computer it put the vendor file back so I just deleted it again and it finally prompted me to update. Thanks for your replies.

Now that I've done the update my available memory is still hovering around 8 or 9 megs free not the 15 or 17 that some people have reported after doing the update. Any ideas why? Any way to close programs that might be running in the background and using up memory like you can with Windows Mobile devices? Though I'm sure that if I did a battery pull the available memory would go back up to say 15 or 17 megs free. But besides that the only programs that I have installed are both the email viewing programs, JiveTalk, Opera Mini, and one of the Zenergy Today theme's. Any ideas or suggestions?

I haven't gotten as high as some have reported here, but I'm above 10. The only thing I can think of is to make sure and delete (or not install) any languages not needed. I also removed the sample video (2MB). I also found a thread somewhere (sorry, don't have it handy) where I was able to remove the sample backgrounds/images (which freed up 1.5-2MB).

You need to delete some of the stuff you don't use, read this, by John Clark, great info.

GPS and Alltell OS? So I have a Verizon 8130... Assuming I install this software won't this make my real internal GPS Work? Or is the way Verizon disables this is by Service books?

Won't work, it's as you guessed, in the service books.

Get the US Cellular .97 OS update, its better

Well, I'm sure where I did what but I am now using .81?? Which is better than .60 to be sure and I am now streaming videos from my Verizon 8130. I also somehow retained my GPS. I thought we were getting .97.
