Lightbulb Things you didnt know about your Bold.

Just post something you learned about your Bold that would help others.

I'll start...

If you're phones battery ever runs down to the point you cannot make calls other than sos you can circumvent this by going to Options, Advanced Options, Wireless Update, Check for Updates. This work around will turn your antenna back on and let you make calls. I read about this little trick on another thread somewhere.

Open your Messages folder and hit Alt+P. Before your eyes pops up your entire phone log, in great detail!

Hold Alt and press L G L G : will show your event logs (you may delete it to speed up your bb)

Hold Alt and press N M L L : will change your signal bars with percentage

Enjoy!

I had experience battery drain once, and I did battery pull, and my battery went up by half bar. But haven't tried it again since.

When in messages:

press U and it goes to all your unread messages

press P and it goes to the previous day

press N and it goes to the next day

press T and it goes to the top

Press B and it goes to the bottom

ALT M shows all MMS messages

ALT S shows all SMS messages

Alt V shows voicemail messages

No but if you use QuickLaunch it has a menu item titled Device Info. If you click on it you will see your battery status as a percentage. And it doesn't round up or down. You'll see, as an example, 98% or 72%. Cool stuff!

Okay, so I knew that I could talk on the phone and use the browser and send emails all at the same time, but I didn't really KNOW it until I got my phone headset last week and started actually doing it. So now I really, really know.

Sorry if I am stating the obvious. But it's just so wicked good.
