- hey i finally got my bold 9780 and i'm loving this phone upgrade from the curve 3G, anyways my question is this i had a friend take a pic of me but they took it on the side and now i can't rotate it, (it does let me rotate it it just wont save for some reason does anyone know how i can fix this or is this just how the bold is?
next question the battery life seems to be very well i've been using it a lot today BBM,fb,twitter,msn a few calls maybe (20mins) and it's down to about 65% is that normal?, i've heard of people getting 2-3days out of it, now i'm nowhere near low battery i'm just wondering that's all

As for your battery life you are currently experiencing, I doubt whether its anything but optimal esp. since you claim its a new phone, the stock OS must .4xx or lower.
Get onto .666 or the .650 and your Battery life would improve along with all other aspects of the phone.
All of us on this Forum who's on either of these versions of the OS have NIL complaints.10-02-11 08:08 PMLike 0 - There are two main ways to update the OS. Here is CrackBerry's article explaining how to use Desktop Manager:

You can also use AppLoader:
Download OS to PC.
Following download, run OS file to install OS on PC. Follow on screen directions.
On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled and also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
Connect BB to PC. Open Desktop Manager and backup device. Close DM.
On PC, go to
(64): Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete Vendor file.
(32): Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader and delete Vendor file.
You can run BB Boss or Shrink-A-OS/BBHybrids Tool to shrink the OS and remove unwanted files/apps.
Run AppLoader (Research in Motion/AppLoader) to initiate OS upgrade. Follow onscreen instructions. Be sure to have PC plugged in to power source. Do not interrupt install process. Wait until BB restarts completely.
Power up your BB and ensure that your apps are working. You may need to upgrade some apps (particularly BBM, as some OS versions contain old BBM versions).
Before you upgrade, be sure to create a back up on Desktop Manager. You can find the latest OS version stickied at the top of the forum.

Good luck getting the most out of your Berry!10-03-11 07:21 AMLike 0 - You can leave older OS on your computer. If you want to get rid of them, uninstall using Control Panel. Then, go into the Shared folder and delete the files in the folder.10-03-11 05:21 PMLike 0

- hi laurah2215 plzzzzz give me a quick reply, will a shrinked os 7 ( reduced to 112mb ) work on my bold 9780, is it a good idea to update my phone with it03-11-14 10:20 AMLike 0
- @Sarfaraz: No - OS 7 will not work on a Bold 9780. Only OS 6 will work on these phones. Personally I have used .666 as I find it has been all round solid OS with stunning battery life. Read around a efw posts and you'll see plenty of waffle from people like me about why you want .666, where to get it, and how to install it.
As to "shrunk" or "custom" OS versions - I never bothered. Full on IT Support Geek here so it isn't a lack of talent stopping me. Just find that .666 rocks. Does everything well, and never need to do the constant battery pulls I read some people used to do.03-13-14 12:35 PMLike 0
