Have you re-registered your BB with the Network. You may even need to log in to your BIS account and resend your service books.

Just need to go in email then go to options/email settings and enable html. Also it will not work on older email but should start working with new email. If it still isn't working try resending your service books or registering your device again.

Have you rebooted after uninstalling. Sometimes that is necessary.

Hey I got a question, if I'm using my carriers update do I need to delete the vendor?
And should I not use my laptop when I'm updating?

No you don't have to delete the vendor file. You can use your laptop to upgrade but you are less likely to have issue on your desktop. I do it both ways without issue. Also be sure and use desktop manager 4.6 rather than the newer 4.7 to avoid issues that many have had with it.

couple of problems so far

media player: the music plays at a lower volume at loudest setting.
the movie I loaded up continued to play AFTER I closed media player down as in the desktop screen had a video screen playing over the top of it. I had to do a battery pull to get it to stop.

I have an issue with it randomly rebooting. then it will go into a loop of reboot after the security test passed.
while it was still working I tried to watch a youtube vid and it said " error while playing" ( no YT which is one of the reasons I Dl'd the 4.5 in the first place.)

bluetooth is scratchy even with the unit right next to the BT earbud.
only half of the apps I had prior to this new OS showed up after loading ( even though they were options on setup ) they showup on the apps list, but not on the menu.

then the last thing is the LED on the right corner wont shut off....and when I tried to change the option on the "coverage LED " instead of it turning off.....it turned to green instead of red..

oh and "color pearl" doesnt work anymore either I tried to change the color and when you get to the "save" button it wont let you do anything

so far I'm not impressed at all with the new OS.. I might (gasp) just go back to the OS that I got from TMO...at least it worked well
