There is not one, and you should not need one. Just know under Manage Connections> Mobile Network Options> You can switch between 3G and EDGE only.

Couldn't hack the daily uncalled for reboot and ridiculously slow card scan when rebooted...downgraded back to trusty .247.

Battery life on this OS is way better than .266 for me at least. Anyone else?

Hey everyone,

I upgraded to .266. It's great and all, but the battery life seems to only last me about 3/4 of the day, that's with just talking and regular usage.

Also, the biggest peeve I have about this is that it randomly just turns off and restarts by its self? Any ideas on why it's doing this?

Im running.167 and can switch from 2g to 3g and also have an option for 2gand3g at the same time

jlh73 · #**1222** 08-21-2009, 06:27 PM

Not really for sure what the 3gand2g option does?

j0hnnyv · #**1223** 08-21-2009, 06:30 PM

man what a joke. i mem optimized and keep like no 3rd party apps anymore...after batt pull I have 12mb free with .282??????? on a couple releases earlier I'd have 50mb free and it would hold for the most part. Within 3-4 hours im down to 0 bytes which would never happen, wtf soooo fkn gay. Ima go to 5.0 I think, just wanna make sure beejive IM and tweetgenius work on it.the only 2 apps I need.

any advise?

Your running .167 on AT&T? How did you get it to switch between 3G and 2G?
I have the latest .167 from AT&T and I can't find it.

When I was using AT&T's .167 - battery drain was at it's peak. The phone was constantly searching for a 3G signal (which as non-existant in the area where I live). Also my app memory was in a constant state of depleting itself. When I would turn on wifi - within minutes I could expect to have to do a battery pull.

When I upgraded to Rogers .282 all of those issues were resolved immediately. I did learn that the FaceBook app was causing some kind of a memory leak though - so I removed it and that problem was solved also.

I have learned that whenever I turn 3G on - the battery drain and memory problems return to some degree, but not nearly as seriously as before. These problems are most prevalent when I turn on wifi.

When I upgraded to Rogers .282 I was really desperate because school was about to begin and I couldn't spend my whole day obsessing about memory and doing battery pulls.

I am still wondering how the person who said they could turn 3G on and off while using ST&T's .167 - could do that. I was running AT&T's latest .167 and that option was nowhere to be found within that OS.

I find Rogers .282 to be a much more stabel OS for my Bold in every way. So - now I'm thinking that some 3rd party apps have to be the culprit of some of the problems stated here. Then again - it could be that my Bold just happens to like Rogers .282.

Peace....
