Every now and then, my phone would temporarily freeze where i cant do anything, then what ever gestures i made during the freeze would all catch up. Anyone experience this? I'm wondering if it was app related or OS related.

I have the same issue once and awhile. Freezes for maybe 5 seconds then everything is back to normal.

I think this is an issue that many OS 7 users are experiencing. I've several 9900's, 9860's all with different OS versions and have seen this on most. Hopefully this will be resolved with newer OS versions.

Oh ok, that's what I figured, thanks for the quick responses.

i've experienced the same issues and am holding out for a release that fixes this issue.

I am also experiencing the same. Hopefully RIM / VZN is on top of this. I had been blaming these freezes on my Jonathan Fisher Storm Launchers, which have worked for S1, S2, and now 9850 with OS7. I might try lowering the touch sensitivity of my screen.

I've experienced some short temporary freezes with the .261 OS (I believe?) on my 9850 from Sprint. Upgraded to .362 and everything seems to be working fine.

I'm on .353 and don't have this issues...

I agree, me too! lol

[indyrubi]

on .362 and it freezes now and then.
Can't wait for a new OS to fix this

i noticed on my 9810 and my girlfriend's 9850 that The Weather Channel app was causing these freezes.

each time our phones would become unusable for about 20 seconds, and immediately after, the Weather Channel icon would update the temperature.

uninstalled Weather Channel, and the freezing has stopped on both phones.

If your 9850 freezes or feels slow try this. Press and hold the menu button. A thumbnail list of running applications running in the background will appear. Close down all applications that are not needed , particularly games, gps, maps, browser, weather, music and video as these make the BB run slower and freeze. Leave the essential applications running such as mail, blackberry messenger, home, options and phone. Keep your Blackberry running lean and smooth by opening apps when needed and remembering to close them when you are done. Enjoy

I never leave apps running when they are no longer in use. I'm on .362 and have seen the hourglass and freezing only when the phone is starting up and the phone is trying to get everything starting at once. I also think BerryWeather is somewhat of a resource hog.

Glad someone started a thread to cover these issues.

So far I've had my phone seriously hang while doing the following.

1. Running google maps with the terrain layer on in an area with intermittent low signal while using the media player;

2. Certain heavy javascript webpages like membase.com (yes, I find sophomoric humor amusing sometimes) causing the browser to be completely unresponsive for several minutes - ended up pulling the battery;

3. Anytime I'm in a game and a new notification comes through.

No freezes experienced yet with the .440 leak.

I may need to upgrade...

[JerBru]

never had a freeze or slow down until i installed Quick Launch. might be a coincidence. love the program so i am willing to tolerate the occasional slow down.

[aguiar0016]

The freezes i'm noticing happens more when my mb drop. I've noticed it dropping up to 45mb a day. When it drops that low the freezing picks up

I just had a moment of major phone fail. Loaded crackberry in a second browser tab, message came in, and the phone screen went half black. Rotating and attempting to close or switch out of the browser via the menu key caused the screen to go entirely black; oddly, the data arrows would still display and the charger dis/connect noise would still play. I pulled the battery and the phone froze a little over halfway through reboot. Pulled the battery again and all seems good for now, but I'm thinking about doing a full device wipe....

I would really appreciate a .440 leak for us 9850 users
