2 Problems that i have with the bold.

**supremeBOLD** · 11-12-2008, 10:12 PM

Hey guys,

I have two problems with my BOLD,

First one would have to be that sometimes when I SMS it doesn't send right away until I turn off the phone and take the battery out, basically resetting the phone. It just shoes the PENDING time clock.

Second one, just happened yesterday when I put my phone in my jacket pocket for work, and a couple of hours later i went to use it on my break and the phone completely died and the screen was faded and the whole phone was like burning up like it had a fever or something, but when i got home.. charged it and it was fine, but today i was at work and turned it off to save the battery from dying, it completely died

so now im at home charging it and its basically what happened yesterday.

So if anyone can help me out that would be great.

Btw I'm under FIDO and using a Rogers Bold and has been unlocked with an unlock code. Thanks for the help.

what software version do you have?

Sounds like you have a fudged phone. Exchange it for a new one.

Would I be able to exchange it at the Rogers store? I didn't buy it from them, I bought it off of Redflagdeals.

Don't exchange the phone, upgrade the OS to a newer build, at least .167

The early builds are known to be buggy and have lots of problems.

or update and then see if it does the same thing, and if it does go exchange it

I assume you bought it from someone at RFD? So, basically, you bought it used? I'm not sure if because you unlocked it whether that will impact your warranty as well. Plus, you're also on Fido trying to use a Rogers device.

I'd try the OS update first.

Rogers has an official .162 OS posted here on CB just search the title "4.6.0.162 Rogers" or go higher if you like. You can PM me for some OS links if you need some.

My phone had a bit os a poltergeist thing going on a .125 and .150. At .162 it was solid as a rock and that's when Battery performance improved immensely.

Definitely an OS upgrade will help with the overheating battery thing. Give that a go before you bin it!

Yep... i agree... this just happened to my 4 day old Bold... cut out and now it wont charge at all... :|

Vodafone said its a batch issue and they are replacing it.

"the whole phone was like burning up like it had a fever or something" classic! :-)

I hope you're able to get it fixed.

Get the newest official release .185 and see if that fixes your problems.

When i downloaded and tried to install/run the 4.6.0.162 OS it said "error reading setup initialization file" ... Getting kinda pissed off at my bold now lol, my curve never had any problems.
