Any Solutions ?

My 9900 works fine with the original 9000 holster. Goes to sleep when taken into holster and wakes when taken out. I even use the otterbox cover in my 9900. Did you check the BB settings?

Puts my 9930 to sleep every time while in the OEM softshell case as well. Definitely double check your settings.

Try with the profiles settings. Usually they go from sounds and rings behaviour as with or without the holster. Then you can take it from there. Just a matter of tweaking and playing with it to customize it to your needs.

Everything checked and double checked,.. must be the case

Is it a official BlackBerry 9000 case??

[robsteve]

It depends on the case. The 9000 sleeper magnet is near the base of the case. The 9900 needs a sleeper magnet near the trackpad. Only 9000 cases with the case magnetic latch near the trackpad of the 9900 will work. I think they are called the Premium Leather case.

Is it a official BlackBerry 9000 case??

I would think so, it was bought from a BlackBerry Dealer Store.

Unless the magnet for the latch is near the center seam, it probably will not work. Use a dime or something made of a ferrous metals and you will be able to find the sleeper magnet, which will be in the wrong place if it is a 9000 case. It needs to align with the trackpad.

[Spencerdl]

Yeah, that's official....does the sleep function on the BOLD work with the original case that came with the phone??

OK, it does not align with the Center of the 9900 .. the Magnets are to the sides of the case.. one below the BB Emblem and one to the opposite side.

I can't test it ... I've long long long since parted with my 9000

I was referring to the case that came with the BOLD 9900, the one in the box. Oh.. The Sprint 9930 comes with a case, does the 9900??

O ok,.. yeah i got a slip case with it.. gonna Try.. can't use it thou as my BB has on a Barely There Case..

I'm even thinking to remove the magnets from the 9000 case and convert it to Velcro. I just don't trust magnets near phones..

I would try the "stock" case just to make sure the 9900 isn't malfunctioning

Just did and it worked,.. the 9000 Case also works when i put the center of the phone right up against the magnet..

So it's definitely an issue with where the magnet is located in the particular 9000 case i have.

Thanks allot to everyone for all of the input thus far..

[satanberry]

You need the vertical 9000 case for it to work. Your case is horizontal.

[Chrysalis1156]

Yeah, that's definitely different than the holster I have. Mine is vertical.

This is the holster you want:



I have this with the Otterbox Commuter for my 9900 and it works perfectly.

Note how the magnetic latch is about mid way where it will be over the trackpad and trigger the sleep function. I have the same case, except in brown. They are about $8 on ebay and original BlackBerry Stock, made in Turkey out of real leather.

[Spencerdl]

Yes, this is the case I have also and it works perfectly with the Otterbox Commuter as well as the sleep function
