WOW! Thank you so very much!
You were right on!
I disabled my wireless on my laptop and the crazy DM didn't say a word about my update. It didn't in fact give me any chance to do anything with my OS software...but that will be another day's business.
I am still hoping to install Tasks again without .732 BUT THAT MAY BE A PIPE DREAM...
I was able to delete a few apps and install the theme I had to install through DM since it would not install OTA and the developer was kind enough to send me the files through email.
So thank you both you and Bob; and I know PC will be proud when he reads what we have managed to do in his absence...
07-04-10 04:42 PM - OK Essex Threaders...UPDATE time!
I have fixed all my problems but not without help.
I had the help of BigBadWulf...a Super Genius here on CB.
(and a great friend of mine)
With Wulf's help I was able to shrink my .699 to save 27 MB of memory!
Add Tasks and Memopad back (Wulf says why clean house like you're still on your curve=tent when you're living in a Bold=mansion now?) He's got a point!
And guess what? The listing app I was after was there all along but I never gave it a chance! The tasks app is exactly what I was looking for. Just make a list and check it off. And it's back and I didn't lose anything.
I used Shrink or a new form of it and shrunk .699 and it auto backed up everything for me and put it back and all I had to do was put in a few reg keys again for a couple of apps. Most importantly to me, I lost NO BBM contacts! You know me...MS SOCIAL BUTTERFLY!!!
Boots faster and it's cleaned up a bit for me. I'm happy! Yay!!!
Thanks Wulfie!!! Sit back and have a cigar! You done good!!!! I'm not easy to train!!!

. Happy is a good thing. 07-05-10 05:50 PM - Well, Well, Well, after I spoke to a verizon CSR last weekend I participated in a survey as requested. I was not too complimentary to the csr and left a message to that effect at the end of the survey.
Well, just a little bit ago, someone from vzw (surpervisor I guess) called and asked if I had any further comments regarding my survey. I told the lady that I did as I was not at all happy with the way the csr I spoke with had handled the situation. I explained to her as I had to the rep that I had done a test with the Tour battery that I had and that its life was the same as the one in the Bold. I further explained that the Tour had given my many more hours than I was getting from the Bold and that based on the test I had done it seemed obvious that I had a device problem and not a battery problem. I told her that the csr that I spoke to had not listened to me at all and that he appeared to be re-reading from a script each time I made a comment.
Long and short of it is that my new baby Bold will be here on Thursday. The lady seemed to agree that I had a device problem and said that the device woulb be replaced. She said words to the effect that it would be a like new device, I know that others have been told that and have received a new in the box device. I guess I'll have to wait until Thursday to fine out what I get.
VZW customer service just went up a notch in my book.
07-06-10 04:23 PM - Just got an email from vzw telling me that my new baby Bold has be shipped.
In checking the FedEx Tracking info, I noticed that the weight is 3.0 lbs/1.4 kg. Do I remember correctly that someone said that if your package was about 3 pounds then it was a new in the box deice and not an FRU?
07-06-10 06:33 PM - It's amazing what one can accomplish when speaking with a person who has a modicum of inteligence!Wonderful news, Bob!!!! Sounds like you are getting a new device!!!!
Ask Chitowngirl. She's on her third. She can tell you about a fru, I bet!!!!
Glad you gave them heck... and I didn't have to break any bones for you either! You did it all yourself!! Good for you!
07-06-10 09:33 PM - You are absolutely getting a new device! CongratsJust got an email from vzw telling me that my new baby Bold has be shipped.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com07-06-10 10:33 PM - While somewhat different -they are estimates. I got a new keyboard Membrane from Otterbox. That was it. It was shipped in a box saying one pound and it was in a box twice the size of my n-i-b Bold. The thing could have been in a letter-size envelope and shipped for 44 cents and the post office would have thought the envelope was empty.Mine is coming from Ontario, CA and is 3 lbs. Wonder why such variation in weight. I can understand the difference between FRU and NIB, but why are FRU = 1 lb, NIB = 2 or 3 lb? Strange.07-07-10 09:22 AM
- I don't think there is a blackberry app for that purpose yet. There are a lot of threads around and a lot of people asking the same question but no real answers. I tried one called Shrink It from Berry Coder but it is a 10 dollar app. The trial is 7 days. I believe it it allows you to change the size of the picture only from 3 different size choices.
There's also an app called Mini Paint that allows you to add text and draw on pics but I don''t think you can crop or rotate your pics.
Very good question. Hope someone has an idea for us.
