This download is so far only found with the download manager (i'm running the new DM 5.0), it is not on RIM's, Telus' or OTA yet ... it does fix the texting issue and you now know who the texts are from and can reply to them ... about time !!!

Ok some people have asked for the Download Link for the Telus update. Well I will post a link.

Now just a lil warning

IF you download and install this update, you are doing so at your own risk. Telus pulled this update for a reason, there are some minor bugs with it. Especially when it comes to the Bluetooth. So again you are free to download, but you are doing so at your own risk.

Now for the Nextel people who see this, DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE. You WILL lose your function to MMS. I am working with a few people now to try and get working update, I think i may have it.

Here is a link to the download link, it is located at the bottom of the page.

- New feature noticed, when you press the left side DC button it now displays all your DC contacts.
- Also noted that there is now a MUTE symbol on DC icon on home screen and can not seem to get rid of it. Mute symbol is there when bluetooth headset is being used
- When bluetooth headset is being used incoming calls will now ring on handset and in ear piece, so far custom ringtone on handset ok, default tone in headset at same time (but I may be using to long and custom of a ringtone for it to work properly).
- DC can be used with bluetooth headset

ok how about the echo issue? Does it eliminate it? I have upgraded to the nextel latest ver and am worried that if i "downgrade" to the telus version I will gain txt messages but get the echo back.

But... Can we assume that this update from Telus includes all previous fixes from Nextel releases?

it should...all the fixes that you guys had in your 194 update before our 204 update were included in the 204

I have been running 204 for months now and have had no problems with it. I have not had the echo issue before so it should be fine, with 83 or 84 I was having a tin can sound on my end only, but that has been gone for a long time.

Try going to these 2 directories and delete (or zip into a folder that you know what the name is for) the folders that were created today which are the cod and alx files and then launch download manager again and let it redownload the files.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files

I installed using DM 5.0 ... make sure you update to DM 5.0 from 4.7 and see if that solves the problem as well.

All you have to do is while your talking with someone(PTT)press the $ key or just raise to volume,but only while your in a PTT conversation.
