What's New & Different w/ this version of Device Software 5.0?

A few months ago, Blackberry game out with version 5.0 Device software.  They then took it off their website.  Now they brought it back.  What's new with version 5.0?  What does it fix/improve from 4.5?  Also, what's different with this release of version 5 over the previous release?  Anyone know?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

RIM produces the OSes, then sends them to the carriers for testing.  The carriers then test the versions and decide which version(s) they will release.  Sprint, Verizon, Telus, Bell, and so on, all do their own testing on their networks and decide which OS version they want without consulting with the other carriers.  So Sprint may be on one version, Verizon on another, etc.
When it comes to the actual release, after the carriers decide which version they want to release, they work with RIM to release the OS.  This includes adding carrier information to the OS (via the Vendor.xml file) which restricts the release to just that carrier (i.e. so you can't install an OS for Verizon on a Sprint phone (extra steps are required for that to work)).  Notifications are then sent out to users using the subscriber information for that carrier.
I hope that explains it a bit more.

    I don't know specifically, but you can take a look at this article, which explains VoiceOver on a 4th gen shuffle and compare that to how it works on your 3rd gen shuffle.

  • Reinstalled software - error message file too new to support this version of the application

    program was not rendering files in the timeline so i reinstalled the program.
    reinstalled software, tried to open project i was working on and error message read: file to new to support this version of the application.
    reading the maunual in advance, had recommended updating software prior to installing the program....
    what to do??? need to continue working on the project...

    You can't get it to upgrade to 4.01 (the latest/last version)?
    Should be doable through Software Update, unless you have either moved or renamed the FCE app from its original installed position.
    Also try using disk utility to fix permissions on your system drive and try the update again.
    Often times when you re-install the software there are legacy files left over from the previous installation. this might be the problem.
    Consider downloading FCS remover (free) from Digital Rebellion:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    and the re-installing your FCE software from disc and then trying the update.

    MacBookPro,
    Hi there. If you are talking about 1.1.1 then I think that just fixed the publishing error problems.
    If you mean the version before....maybe someone else can jump in and answer that one.

  • Do the ACE certifications only focus on new features in the version of the software.

    Hello everyone,
    A bit confused about adobe ACE certifications.
    right,  i was looking at using some of the revision notes from ucertify, and was a little baffled you see, in the notes theres is only 200 and something questions on the photoshop cs5 exam and when i looked on the photoshop cs4 exam prep there was like 600 and something?? most of these companies say that there prep kits feature 95% of the material required to pass the exam so looking at this it would be easier to pass the cs5 exam than the cs4 exam?
    as i've never taken one of these exams before so this makes me think that the exams are only based on new features with the version of the software not a complete overview of the software.
    is this right? or do they just not put it in the prep material as they expect you to have learnt it all from the previous exams?
    very confusing.
    hope someone can help
    tom.

    yea thats what i thought, thats the most sensible answer that they expect you to
    know it.
    but... have you taken any of the them? would love to hear from someone thats taken a few, i wasn't even sure if i'd put this post in the right forum to be honest.
    just seems odd why they say 95% of the material is in the prep stuff seems too easy.
    i'd have thought that since the cs4 exam had that many more questions that the cs5 exam would have even more prep material but obviously not so.

  • Downgrading to earlier version of device software

    I upgraded the device software on my Curve 8520 today to the 5.0 Bundle 1626 version and I really don't like it. I tried to do the downgrade to my previous software wirelessly but the phone isn't giving me the option...can anyone walk me thru doing the downgrade using my desktop software?
    Thanks for any help.

    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    That portal provides you with all of the official releases from all carriers. There is no other official site to obtain OS packages from. Further, anything not from that portal could be considered a "leaked" version...which would likely be, by definition, not stable. The carriers control the OS versions they support and only offer those via the download portal. Naturally, they must declare end of life to older OS levels as newer OS levels come into existence. Typically, a carrier will keep a couple of OS levels per device active, but that's totally at their discretion.
    Good luck!

  • Will  Networks Drives are in  the roadmap in Final Cut X? if so, what is the timing for this version?

    Hello,
         We have  some customers that desire to keep in the apple strategy with the features of FCP v7.  With the new FCP X they lose the ability to share the media through different workflows. Ingest, Editing, trascoding, MAM and delivery will take long time moving the data from SAN Drives.
         Some of them currently use the Scale out architecture as advantage to reduce the time to produce media  faster but it is necesary to deliver this production to a network drive. So, is there  any workaround or timing to deliver the FCP X version to use network drives?  Will it be soon?
    I´ll appreciate any news.
    Julio Ortiz

    Speculation about future software is against the terms of use of the forum.
    Network drives can currently be used and accessed from FCP. Only one FCP editor can access it at a time.

  • What's fixed/different in Numbers version 1.01

    Given the sparse documentation I could find on the 1.01 release of Numbers:
    This update primarily addresses issues with tables and performance.
    lets try to collect in this thread what seems to be fixed or changed in the version.

    It finally managed to open a 3.7mb excel file and promptly crashed when trying to save...
    Changing fonts is still very slow, resizing columns by dragging is appallingly slow...Find and change now works in columns but you can have a shower it whilst does it..Linking data from another sheet simply does not work in a reliable manner put quite bluntly Numbers needs a lot of work to make it useable..
    I have simply given up with it and trashed iWorks 08 and reverted back to Excel and I would love to get my money back....

  • I am leaglley blind I use a 5 inch window at the top of my screen to see what I am typing. This version does not let me see what I am typing because the window drops down about 1 to 2 inches, obscuring what I am typing. Is there a fix for this problem?

    If there is no fix for this problem, how do I go back to the previous version?

    laderamacguy took a look at it and added a black shape over the tab. he suggested i use a different template next time, such as the black template.

  • What are new features on updating 5g ipod with software version 1.2

    i hav noticed that on updating ipod video 5g with ipod update 1.2,i noticed only one change i.e brightness control.
    search function is not there,and
    somebody please tell what is gapless playback, i dont know how it works??!!
    i,m unable to tranfer manually songs to ipod,(by drog n drop).i hav to copy to itunes lib then on to music folder of ipod
    does the 5g video ipod really supports 640x480 video on
    update

    With 1.2 5th generation iPods get:
    - Gapless Playback
    - Game Support
    - Movie Support
    - Brightness Control
    - 640x480 Resolution
    - Quick Scroll (the letters you are scrolling through appear when scrolling fast)
    Gapless playback allows songs to flow seamlessly together without a gap - Pink Floyd The Wall, The Beatles' Abbey Road, etc. To me, it's the most significant iPod feature since the click wheel.
    For manual sync, be sure that option is selected in the iPod preferences.
