Bold Running Slow :|

Hey
Hows it going everyone??
Well i've been using the Blackberry Bold since mid December and it is my first Blackberry

the first week of using it, everything seemed fine but after that it seems as though it has slowed down

sometimes when im playing brick breaker the game lags sometimes...this is what my database sizes are:

Total Size 443.6K
Address Book 143/27.7K
Application Permissions 1/0.0K
Attachment Data 0/0.0K
AutoText 108/7.8K

Now i don't know if posting all that is going to help but i thought i'd post all that just incase.

What is RMS Databases?? :S and how do i check what OS i am running??

thanks for reading my post and hope someone can help speed up my Bold.
thanks.

options/about to check your OS.

thanks Greg24.

it says:
BlackBerry 9000
smartphone (3G,Wi-Fi)
v4.6.0.162 (Platform 4.0.0.155)

would my OS be 162 or 155?? :S lol

avt123 · #4 01-19-2009, 12:35 PM

Your OS would be 4.6.0.162.

you are on .162. updating your os would help out a lot. .216 is the latest official and can be found in the sticky at the top of thise section. .219 is the latest leaked beta( its not all that good), if you decide to update just follow the directions, dont forget to delete the vendor file and be careful

Have you tired a battery pull? Also hold down alt and press L G L G in the home screen. Menu > Clear log. Give that a go before updating your OS, as I'm on .162 and my bold is certainly not slow

Could you give us a list of exactly what apps you're running? That could help us answer your question a little better as well. I have a feeling you have Facebook....

Oh and brickbreaker lags only slightly on mine too, its normal

quick dirty solution would be to do a battery pull. That is a quick cure, but definatly upping the OS wouldn't hurt

sweet, thanks for the help.

i do have Facebook installed but i don't have it open ever cause i think its garbage, i just go on facebook through the browser lol.

I usually close anything i open.

another thing...I was on the Rogers website and they have BlackBerry BOLD Handheld Software v4.6.0.292 (Multilanguage)...would that be a beta version or what?? and has anyone tried it yet??

greg, what does deleting the vendor file do??

Thats the software version of the equivlent of .162

deleting the vendor file allows you to upload an os from another carrier to your phone.

mbmoney · Thread Author #13 01-19-2009, 02:50 PM

i don't understand why other carrier's have updated OS's and the others don't...does anyone know the reason behind that? and would upgrading the OS from some other carrier affect my warranty in anyway??

It's really about what OS the carrier wants to approve. For example, ATT liked .167 initially better than .162 like Rogers liked. It's about what the carrier feels is best.
