- Now that it has officially been a week since the tour came out I wanted to take a poll to see if RIM has fixed the issues with the newer batched by taking a poll of when you got is vs. if you have any problems.
I actually have been noticing people writing yesterday and today seem to not have issues--so I want to see if this is true and there's a new batch out.
These problems include:
Loose battery cover, screen ripple, trackball issues, bad battery life, etc.
Thanks!
P.S. If you bought it online base it off date of shipping
P.P.S. If you do have issues please reply with the date and issues.Last edited by ilovexspin; 07-19-09 at 03:32 PM. Reason: ..

first of all, I did not notice the loose batt. cover at first but I've now done multiple battery pull and resets and each time i take the batt. cover off, it seems to be getting looser and looser so try not to to too much batt. pull.
Screen ripple effect, not as much. I've only noticed slight ripple, only on certain color background color once or twice or so...normally i do not notice ripples.
Trackball - when I am in SMS or email mode especially, writing texts, trying to go back up and left and right I seem to have issues. I set my Horizontal to 80 and still.... if i misspelled something, it is very hard to get the cursor back up and left and right to that exact spot. I don't notice much from home menu(very rarely happens in home/menu screen), mostly when im in text or email mode, THIS IS ANNOYING.
Yes, and I am noticing fast battery drain, at least faster drain than my 8830 I had or curve. BB's usually have very good batt life, but not sure why this one isn't as good as other. To me, Tour seems to have more in common with issues that Storm had than the 8830 or 8330. I didn't have any complaints like this with my 8830.Last edited by david122575; 07-19-09 at 03:55 PM.

- well with regards to VZW, there prolly won't be a new batch for a while, if any as VZW never had the Stock issues to begin with, unlike Sprint did....07-19-09 04:06 PMLike 0

- hey, on your next unboxing video, can you please wear either pink or white nail polish? Judging by tats on your wrist, I know you're prolly more into black but for those of us who care about aesthetics! I am asking as favor, not telling you to do.
If you could have like pink and aqua thongs laying around too, that'd be great. Im sure you'll have 1000 pm's after that! If you ever need a BF, do unboxing vid with bunch thongs laying around, your inbox will be flooded, im talking about CB inbox.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, here's to hoping that you have a sense of humor, otherwise, Im focked!07-19-09 04:15 PMLike 0 - with regards to battery issue, it seems that it takes forever to charge as well. I had two bars, so I plugged it in for hour and only at 3 bars.07-19-09 04:19 PMLike 0

- Very useful thread!
I purchased mine on the 17th from a VZW store.
My Tour, as well as my father's (purchased at the same time), both have loose battery doors. Mine is slightly worse than his. There is a very noticeable gap in mine, and I can easily lift it approx. 2 mms. It also slides around like everyone else. We went back to the store today, the rep opened 3 returned Tours, all with the same problem (with varying degrees of severity), and 1 new one with the same problem. We gave up for the day.
My trackball also has random issues moving horizontally - is that a problem that others are experiencing? It occurs randomly, so I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue and the variable is my pressure on the trackball, or if it's a software issue. Anyone else have this problem?
So far I have not experienced any memory leaks, and battery life is what I expected.07-19-09 04:38 PMLike 0 - Very useful thread!

- Would be the same ones. As for the ripple, I would find it extremely hard to believe that there are phones out there without even a slight ripple. It is the lower right and left corner. Hard to see on certain backgrounds but the way the screen it attached forces at least slight downward pressure when hitting certain buttons. I do not consider this a problem at all. Mine is minute.
Battery cover will be based on who ever manufactured them. They are extremely bendable anyway so many will have issue and many won't. Again probably not a big deal. My only issue is a lower volume on the ear piece. Not terrible, but could be louder.
