- Right, so am i just one of the unlucky ones that bought one of the dodgy bolds?
I know its a good phone because everyone else has a good experience with it, but mine just seems to be rubbish! Im forever replacing parts!
Yesterday, two black lines appeared on my screen, reboots dont fix it, neither do os re-loads.
Today my microphone has decided to back up.
And they just join the list of my other problems, i have to charge batteries in a external charger because my phone wont accept any chargers, just gives black plug.
I have had to buy lots of different charges to try, even the playbook one, and that wasn't cheap.
I paid alot for this phone, and have had to spend lots more on over the last month, im on my second lcd, but hey the lines have come back AGAIN.
I dont have warrenty or insurance.
Bye Bold, I have to go to my curve 8520, sadly11-06-12 01:38 PMLike 0 - Sorry to say, but yes, it seems as if you bought a dodgy Bold. However, you are not one of the unlucky ones, as several others have reported issues with their Bolds as well. I know that mine has been near flawless since I purchased it in November 2011. It has even gone for a swim while camping lol luckily though I did have it in an Otterbox Defender case when it decided to take the plunge lol
Please don't judge all Bolds by your experience just as I don't judge based no my experiences. I know that there are "issue" Bolds out there and am thankful that mine isn't one of them (knock on wood). My sister was issued a Bold 9900 through work a couple months ago and she absolutely loves it. She hasn't had any issues with hers yet and finds it to be a great improvement over her old Torch 9800.
Thats not to say that I haven't run across "issue" Bolds though. One of the waitresses at a bar I frequent had several issues with hers, though I think they have been caused by several drops from 5+ feet as well as condensation from her chosen "holster" while at work lol11-06-12 01:57 PMLike 0 - How long have you had this phone? Sometimes even if you're not under warranty if the phone isn't too old (definitely under a year) your carrier might replace it. I had problems with my 9930 and called VZW and they replaced it for me. Otherwise try contacting RIM and see if they can do anything. I've had them send me free phones as well.11-06-12 02:00 PMLike 0
- Hello Everyone,
I know that most bolds are amazing, mine used to be till last month, all the problems came at once.
The reason i dont have a warrenty id because i bought it second hand.
How would i go about getting in contact with RIM, i have tried, but they said you need to have a ticket or something to get through to thw support team
Thanks for your reply's, ill try some more os releases, im on o2 uk but maybe it could be like the at&t mic issue? maybe.
Thanks

Here is a typical Apple response: "wow, it shouldn't be doing that...I'll be right back." They go to the back room and come out with a new (usually refurbished) phone. "Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully you will have better luck with this phone." Done.
And, your Iphone never has weird problems like BB phones. Why? I don't know, they just work.11-09-12 10:47 AMLike 0 - All reasons to go to the Iphone.
