I just upgraded my phone from the old os version to os 4.5.0.138. On my old version I had a call timer when I was on the phone, but since I upgraded I dont have the call timer on my screen when I'm on a call. I need this to show the timer for various work related issues. Can any one help!!
4.5.0.169 restored the Call Timer, and fixed some other serious flaws in 4.5.0.138 as well. I recommend you upgrade to it, or something newer. It's the last OS I ran on my 8830 before trading for a Tour, so I haven't used any later versions.
I got 4.5.0.169 from Telus last spring. But there are later versions available now. Check the sticky at the top of the 8830 forum for the latest officially released version and download instructions.
