sanjay0501 35 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 @nawalsingal Surprisingly i found 4.5 to be having a good battery life. BB specs says a battery life of 220 minutes and I am regularly testing it to be a around 210 mins. Yes there is a prob with memory drain it goes from 17M to 14M very fast, with all the apps closed. @muffadalkm The ringer in4.5.127 is slower than that in 4.5.101. and I have one of the loudest ringer, u remember the old Nokia DoMiSo, still I find it difficult to listen if i am in another room in the house or office.

Thanks Hi Asheet Mixed reactions to 4.5. My experience after installing 3 times: a. Bad ones: 1. Battery drained very fast. 2. Sound clarity reduced. 3. display showed hazy icons. b. Good ones: 1. Docs to go 2. Supports 8 gb Mem Card 3. Voice recorder included, though didn't try for call recording. To top it all, no stability issues. but i'm back to 4.2, definitely due to BATTERY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HetalDP 947 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Cons: OS reminds me old DOS type software (I think Storm is good OS but still have slow Java Based Stack and Slowness) Menus, Setting, Profiles are Complicated to Set. Only 200 Mhz Processor and no Real Multitasking Comparted to Windows, Android Graphics is Very Very poor Boot speed is hell slow Screen is very small for Emails EMail with Flash (Forget it) this is more Textual EMaling then Full Fleged Emailing from Iphone or G1 Enterprise Service is lot lot expensive compraed to Apple iPhone or G1, I think Microsoft Exchange is better then Black Berry Enterprise Servie on BB Pros: Enterprise Service Keyborad, Keyboard, Keyboard Voice Quality and to some Extende Battery life Overall Weight is quite managable.

sanjay0501 35 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 @sadikbhai I think this file is the same as the one for 4.5.127 of Bell Mobility, at least the size is the same and based on the fact that RIM provides the same unbranded OS to all the service providers. Please see if u can confirm after downloading and comparing the files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted July 18, 2009 ^ depends on which companies handset you are using. We are using Sprint handset and I have upgraded using this file 8830uAMEA_PBr4.5.0_rel201_PL3.4.0.28_A4.5.0.135_Sprint.exe from Blackberry site for Sprint phone. If you are using some network phone (like Reliance), use the relevant software related to that phone only from Blackberry Site. No problems in this update... except some people have complained when using with browser... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reverted back to 4.2.176 Immediately, It is much faster and better. And I have also listened that there are some Dormancy issue in GPRS-Edge Connectivity in OS4.5.

asheet 3 Report post Posted August 1, 2009 Hi I intalled Sprint 8830uAMEA_PBr4.5.0_rel201_PL3.4.0.28_A4.5.0.135_Sprint. I had the same problem. My GSM stopped working. However I foudn that MTNL - 800Mhz band works but 1800band - Idea/AIrcel don;t work. I even called Aircel guy to my home to chk signal strength & found everything fine but 8830 shows SOS. However I wa surprised to see that Aircel worked at Aircel office at MIDC. Then I compared signal strength & found that my flat had strength of -69dbm whiel at Aircel office, it was -45dbm. Also MTNL tower is right opposite my flat so I get full power So I can say that 4.5upgrade has less signal gain for GSM radios ANy solution using QXDM???

asheet 3 Report post Posted August 1, 2009 I had installed 4.5 OS on my BB8830 which I got from Sadik, After upgrading to 4.5OS, I couldn't latch to my GSM Network, SOS was showing in Network Signals at extreme corner, and its heavy also. Reverted back to 4.2.176 Immediately, It is much faster and better. And I have also listened that there are some Dormancy issue in GPRS-Edge Connectivity in OS4.5. Boss... I think I have cracked this mystry as to why GSM doesn't work when u upgrade to 4.5 It is IT polciy. When u upgrade to 4.5, IT polciy is isntalled by default which disables GSM SO do as below : best method for removing IT policy is to update it to OS 4.5 and you can use JL_Cmder's "resettofactory" command to remove ALL IT policy, Firewall restrictions and Application Permission settings. After you've upgraded to OS 4.5, simply backup the device using Desktop Manager, close Desktop Manager, then run JL_Cmder and execute the "resettofactory" command. The device will wipe, then reboot leaving the OS, 3rd party apps but no data AND, best of all, NO IT policy whatsoever. When you're done, simply restore your backup and you're good to go with no policy or locked firewall. You can downgrade back to the old OS if you desire, too. Now my GSM is working in 8830 with OS 4.5 Cheers!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
