Ok, thanks to some others on another forum, the problem is due to just one file. This can be resolved by swapping out the file for one from a different version, but here's the catch... This is considered a bit of an advanced fix and depending on your level of comfort, you may or may not be willing to try this. I would only recommend doing it if you know how to reload the OS. But that said, if you do want to try it, here are some steps:
********Note: Do not do this if you are at all uncomfortable or do not want to take any chances. In that case, your best bet is to downgrade to a previous OS.
- Download and install a program called BBSAK to your computer: http://www.bbsak.org/
- Download or find a previous version of the file named: net_rim_bb_clock_lib.cod. If you would like to download just the single file, this is one that I used in my Storm2 that worked (should also work for the 8530: http://www.bbtweaks.com/BlackBerry/OS_Files/9550/v5.0.0.983/Fixes/Bedside%20Mode%20Fix.rar (note: you will need a program such as 7zip to extract the rar file and gain access to the required file).
- Connect your BlackBerry to your computer and open the BlackBerry Desktop Software. Back up your BlackBerry (this will protect your data, just in case something goes wrong).
- Close the Desktop Software.
- Open BBSAK and enter your BB password when prompted (if you do not have a password, just press Ok).
- Click on the "Modify CODs" tab and select the option to "Read System". This will pull up a complete list of all of the files installed on your BB. Sort them by name.
- To be safe, start by finding the file named: net_rim_bb_clock_lib.cod. Delete it from your device. Your device will then reboot. Wait for the device to reboot before proceeding with the next step.
- Read the system on the BlackBerry once again and this time, click on Install COD. You will be given a menu where you can navigate to the alternate version of the net_rim_bb_clock_lib.cod file. Find that file and click OK. This will load the new file version to your BB (the one included in the link I provided is version 5.0.0.979).
- Your phone will likely reboot once more. Once the reboot is complete, you should be all set.
Again, if you are not comfortable with this, then do not proceed.
