Newbie here (and to BB 8820 - less than a week old). Upgraded BB OS with no issues. Step 1 had me backing up BB via DM. I found another .ipd file when all was done is my home directory name LoaderBackup-(2008-08-24). All my 3rd party apps were maintained as well. Not sure if step 1 shouldn't be optional as wel given that this backup is created. Am I missing something here? Is there a reason NOT to remove the BB Device Software from my PC OS now that it's installed on the BB.
upgraded to this software but cant seem to download BB Maps from the BB site. Any ideas what could cause this have deleted vendor file and replaced lbx file ???
I upgraded my 8820 from 4.2.x and it bricked part-way through with a 507/similar error. I had to wipe and reinstall the OS. Sadly, brickbreaker was nowhere to be found (even with "show all" in the programs list.)
Also, I was late for work because the alarm refused to go off in silent mode. I had to make an exception for the alarm_ tone I had set.
I still have issues connecting to my wireless at home - D-link DGL-4300 Gamerlounge with WPA enabled (It works fine if all security is disabled). That's another post though.
