Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

Can you please tell me how to re-enable the east asian languages.  Ever since the update, they are not available on the language screen.  I even tried to roll back the software, but they are still not available in the language menu.

Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

I've checked for an update via the phone, instead of opting to connect to a PC via USB and it turns out there are no available updates.  Does that mean that my phone currently has the most up to date software/firmware?

Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

If you're a Mac user, I think you can use Pocketmac to sync your Blackberry with your Mac.  Here's the link.

Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

I recieved my storm in the mail the other day, and it already had .76 on it. So anyone who gets a new storm, check if you have an already updated phone before going through the headache of trying to update.

Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

I received the same error message. I kept deleting texts, emails, etc. and it still wouldn't work.
Eventually I just kept trying and the upgrade finally went through! 
Good luck

I pulled battery and then did upgrade from the desktop and it went very well.  Still no answer on the media manager being greyed out to prevent swapping photo/video files between phone and computer.  am on the phone with Verizon/blackberry for that.

Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

Where can I see what the update is supposed to fix/add?  I'm hoping that the latest update fixes my blue-tooth.  Sends the audio back to the phone when I use the "Speed Dial".  Verizon said they were working on a fix, and i hope this is it

Re: Official Verizon BlackBerry Storm Device Software Upgrade

I also have problem with speed dialing and audio.  My work around is voice dialing....Sure it will get fixed soon.

jseville,

 

Did you ever get the above issue straightened out with Verizon?  I was hoping you could let me know what information they provided.  Is this a feature that Verizon decided to block??  They're notorious for this, and they blocked multiple features for the Motorola Razr V3m.  I really hope they didn't do the same with the BlackBerry Storm.  Their practice of doing this seems downright unethical. 

 

Anyway, I'll reel myself back in from my rant.  Any information you can provide regarding the greyed out options, would be most appreciated.  TIA.

The media manager is also greyed out on my Desktop Manager software.  When I loaded the Desktop manager software on to my PC, my hard drive was near capacity thus the reason the Roxio Media Manager software was not installed.  I find it hard to believe that Verizon would block this feature from being installed.  There is a work around to this problem if you would like to copy or move files to and from your PC to your Storm or from your Storm to your PC.  Select "Yes" to, "Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode when Connected to your PC" via Optioins/Memory...problem solved.
