If your 9900/30 goes crazy in direct sun get it replaced!
- Take it to the store and get it replaced because contrary to what some have posted, this is NOT normal behavior. My 9900 did this, and my wife's 9900 and my two son's 9360s did not in the same sunlight. Just got my replacement Bold 9900 last night and it works perfect in direct sunlight. Also I noticed on the replacement that the optical pad has less play in it. So don't accept a defective device, get it replaced under the manufacturers one year warranty from your carrier.11-18-11 09:26 AMLike 0
- The touch(optical) pad use a low intensity infrared. Some of the rays in sun light may create a conflict with the sensor causing a problem in terms of moving around the pointer. (It jumps all over the place when you move your finger on top of the pad.)
However, RIM never said this is a issue because they do not recommend using Blackberries under direct sunlight.11-18-11 01:18 PMLike 0 -

Well actually he said "Not much sunlight here" not "No sun here". There's a big difference. But if he had said "No sun here" I would have just thought to myself that maybe he lives at the South Pole or one of those places where they don't get daylight for a few weeks

Unfortunately, due to some ***** posting "RIM never said you could use their phones under direct sunlight" I took the issue to be normal and left the phone as is. I am now 2 months over my out-of-box failure return period and cannot get the phone replaced. Any suggestions on what to do? Also, the trackpad seems very sunken into the panel and make it hard to press compared to other bb's. Regardless to say the trackpad SQUEAKS!!! annoyingly. Should I get the tracpad replaced or open up the phone and try to centre it for some reason? Or a software update?? I'm running os. 9900/7.0.0.296.. Struggling to update to .503.. Any suggestions would be helpful. Email me on [email protected] pleeaasseee!!!
