    Ok, I've only has this 8330 since January. What am I going to notice between this new (160) firmware, and what's currently on the device (.77)?

    Are you using a laptop? If you are, try using a desktop.

    Mine use to do this on Verizon, a battery pull would reset it for a while, until it happened again.

    my signal is still all over the place after the hybrid install, but the sound glitch has been fixed.

    I'm seeing 1X, 1XEV & 1xev

    I'm on Sprint.

    Andrew, which hybrid did you install? There are several out there.

    Also, you should consider doing only a minimal restore of databases using the Adv anced option in Backup/Restore following your OS install (Messages, and Address Book).

    No it isn't, and there are some pretty annoying problems using this OS for Verizon users. Stay away from this one.

    I am having an issue with delayed e-mails from BES. It does not happen frequently, but when it does; I get several e-mails at once. These e-mails can be up to 45 minutes late.

    i was trying to upgrade from 4.5.0.131 to
    .160 and I downloaded it a couple times and neither the app loader method or the dtm method recognised the upgrade?

    Any ideas what i might be doing wrong? i did delete the vedor file.
