Hi,

Is OS upgrade dependant on what plaform you are on?

I am running v 4.2.0.64 platform 2.2.0.37.

Will I be able to update to the latest version 4.5?

Is there anyway I can update the software platform?

Regards,

You can upgrade the device OS direct to the latest release for the 8100 model.

Here is a link to the download and specific upgrade directions:

Do a backup of your device FIRST, using Desktop Manager.

Will try this now.

Currently downloading.

If the OS is not platform dependent, why does the apploader on the desktop application not detect the upgrade?

also Can I use the application provided by my current service provider (not my phone provider and my ex-service provider which was T-mobile)

i.e Can I use this OS that I already downloaded and will the install procedure be the same?

Hi JSanders,

Thanks this worked. I downloaded the Airtel version though.

Just curious, as to why my phone and apps still say T Mobile even though I have installed the Bharti Airtel version of the OS.

Everything works fine and I am really happy with the HTML mail, although the device is a bit slower than it was before.

Thanks again for the help.
