Newest 8830 OS 4.5.0.160
-
I just completed my upgrade to .160 and see the same issue I had after the .138 upgrade. When you first go to messenger, you see your contact categories and they might say something like 0/4 or 1/5. So they are hidden in background somewhere. If one of them pings you, they resurface. It was only after a few battery pulls when I started getting the message about my PIN changing and I needed to notify my contacts or they would be deleted.
So far, I'm back to them being hidden.06-10-09 10:49 AMLike 0 - I have the same settings as you except for the compression...mine is enabled. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Our pins are not changing, but for some reason BBMessenger thinks they are, and sends an "update" to all our messenger contacts. It's just a nuisance, but it's clearly a bug. It happens to me every time I reboot my device, either by soft reset or battery pull.06-10-09 09:50 PMLike 0
- jeffhRetired ModeratorHaving Content Protection enabled appears to be necessary for the bug to show up. My IT policy won't allow me to disable it. If you were to enable it and reboot and see the problem, that would be consistent with my and other's experience. If you enabled CP, rebooted and didn't see the problem, that would be even more useful to know.06-11-09 06:15 AMLike 0
- I am so hosed. I am in limbo. I have followed all of the instructions. I have wiped my Blackberry using JL and deleted the vendor.xml file. The upgrade starts but near the end a fatal error will occur while loading the applications. I have tried going back to 130 after wiping with JL again. Nothing seems to work. I hope someone out there can give me something else to try. I have no phone at this point. I am on Alltel if that helps.06-12-09 12:28 PMLike 0
- jeffhRetired ModeratorWhen you say 6-8MB max, is that read immediately after a reboot? It's normal for free memory to fluctuate, but it should come back. If you have not already done it, Reed McLay's Memory Optimzation Procedure that's linked in my sig is an excellent guide to increasing File Free.06-12-09 02:35 PMLike 0

You should not attempt to upgrade the OS in the first 30 days that you own a new phone, simply because installing an OS other than the factory-supported OS will void your warranty and you will have to restore the factory OS before you can return your phone, should you find some other defect in it in the first 30 days. As an additional benefit, after using it for 30 days, you'll be much more likely to succeed when you do attempt the upgrade.06-12-09 02:37 PMLike 0 - When you say 6-8MB max, is that read immediately after a reboot?

I dont think a wipe is too bad, just takes time.
I am now at 14.5 MB free consistently.
What is with the memory leaks that always draw the memory down even when you arent doing anything?
Also the V-s(something) for YouTube app is a totally poorly written app, it was sucking down the memory pretty bad so I deleted it.
Everything is good now.06-13-09 10:19 PMLike 0 - jeffhRetired ModeratorSome apps ARE poorly written, but the idea of memory leaks is over-emphasized. All apps reside in memory, whether they are executing or not. Executing apps are supposed to use and release memory. A abrupt drop of 5 MB or more after a battery pull isn't necessarily indicative of a problem, if it stabilizes there. It just means your apps are using that much memory. Of course, starting at 14MB, that takes you into the danger zone pretty quickly. So you are doing the right thing to look closely at your apps and see which ones are using that memory. If you need them, then they may be worth the space they use. If you don't, they certainly aren't.06-13-09 10:30 PMLike 0
- The phone has 21MB free with now apps running .160.
I reinstalled my plethora of apps and it went to 13.99 then I cleared teh logs and cache and it went to 14.55.
With it sitting for two hours doing nothing it drops about 2 megs.
I still dont understand why when closing all apps it still does this.06-13-09 10:34 PMLike 0 -

- You have three options (2 of which are emulation) Use bootcamp (a free mac supported partition where you run windows. Bootcamp has worked for me. There is also VMware and Parallels. I have not used VMware, but use Parallels. Unfortunately Parallels did not work for loading the new software...had to use bootcamp.06-15-09 10:51 PMLike 0
