howdy! searched around and couldn't find a forum or a thread more specific to this, so the 8830 forum it is...
meaty bits: 8830, Sprint, v4.2.2.176 (Platform 3.0.0.76), no BIS/BES
i upgraded to 4.2.2.176 and didn't notice much - signal meter and 1XEV seems more stable - but it seems to have lost my application connection permissions or something. OK, check out the app. permissions and... they're the same. "Carrier Internet: Allow" etc.
still, whenever i use Opera, LogicMail, GMaps, etc: "The application (app name) has attempted to access a low-level network connection. Would you like to allow this?" i just have to do it once per session, and it's only mildly annoying, but still, why is the preference ignored?
