- To Pinoys using the Bold 9900 on Globe. I've just seen a commercial from Globe about 4G. So we're finally having a 4G network. I called up customer service to ask about it and they said that it's only available in selected areas, such as Makati and Quezon City.
But when I checked on my Network Modes, 4G is not shown. Only 2G, 3G and 2G & 3G. I was just wondering if any of you guys have seen the 4G mode on your networks?
Globe also said that, 4G network will probably work 100% by 2012. So I guess we still won't be experiencing 4G on our 9900s until 2012.11-26-11 07:56 AMLike 0 - teka, may 4G ba na blackberry?
the supposed 4G blackberries are using 14.4 HSPA+ lang. our 4G that is being marketed here is actually LTE/WiMAX
yung 9810 ko nakalagay 4G kahit mabagal. thats because im using an AT&T unit which replaces H+ with 4G because in their market "HSPA+" is considered 4G (which, technically, isnt!)11-26-11 08:33 AMLike 0 - Taken from the BlackBerry Bold 9900 review
BlackBerry Bold 9900 Review | CrackBerry.com
"On the data front, the new hardware platform on BlackBerry 7 Smartphones now sports a 14.4 Mbps HSPA modem, which is a big jump up from the 3.6Mbps modem on BlackBerry 6 Smartphones. On the Rogers network, my homescreen no longer shows a 3G icon for activity, but rather a H+ one denoting HSPA+. Is it really a 4G BlackBerry? You're going to see the new BlackBerry 7 Smartphones get marketed different ways by different carriers. The bottom line is that there's a 14.4 modem on board, so while data will be quicker, the whole 4G vs. FauxG issue is up for debate. If you want more insight into this, check out our article on Clarifying 4G vs FauxG."
So I guess it may not show 4G but H+?adicktuz likes this.11-26-11 09:59 AMLike 1 - depende sa update. nung una kong kuha 9810 ko it says "H+" even on non-H+ areas. after updating to the latest firmware naging 4G
my 9810 is AT&T branded, which markets H+ (or HSPA+) as 4G. Kaya kung san man ako pumunta dito sa Maynila (and provinces) it always says 4G even if there isnt!11-26-11 10:04 AMLike 0 - Medyo naguluhan ako dun ah haha!
So it really depends on our carriers if we'll have 4G on our 9900s? I just hope Globe can provide better service. I subscribed kasi from BB Social to BB Max, and I really find it really slow when browsing, especially streaming lol. Oh well, mabagal talaga internet natin compared to other countries, lalo na sa US.11-26-11 11:01 AMLike 0 -
How's the PlayBook? I'm planning to get one soon.11-26-11 11:44 AMLike 0 -
Kunin mo na kase sobrang okay.
Ps. If you're the type though who want's more apps and games at your disposal then iPad or an Android tablet but still come Feb 2012 we're gonna get the Android Player.adicktuz likes this.11-26-11 10:15 PMLike 1 - Hi Guys! i Tried installing the leaked os 7.1 on my bold 9900, and wanted to make the wifi hotspot work. i can't seem to make it work because it's asking for the apn.
do you guys have any idea as to what it is?
i already tried using the following:

internet.globe.com.ph
Globe - Globe Telecom
blackberry.net
but none of them seem to work.
i can get them to enable my wifi hotspot option but there is no data being transferred.
so can anyone of make it work?11-26-11 10:26 PMLike 0 - Hi Guys! i Tried installing the leaked os 7.1 on my bold 9900, and wanted to make the wifi hotspot work. i can't seem to make it work because it's asking for the apn.

But what's your BIS plan? BBMax? It should work by then but yeah I'm reading the Rogers thread on their Wifi Hotspot and not all seem to have made it work with that same issue on carrier apn.11-26-11 10:51 PMLike 0 -
- I'm not sure if the mobile hotspot feature would work here in the country since I haven't heard any of the telco's supporting UMA technology yet. Of course I could be wrong. I know the feature is available in some of the more recent android devices in the market, I just have no idea if it is actually working here in the Phil.

- Got it since the release in April and NO REGRETS! Sold my netbook coz I had no use for it after using the PlayBook for a couple of weeks. Of course I would really really really want OS 2.0 to come sooner to get the Android Player, native email, native calendar and other goodies but it's a pretty decent and powerful device. HD videos are really clear on the device and with the 599 BBMax, "SULIT" (Baby James definition ) ) compared to getting another sim for those who have a 3G model of other tablets. I usually use it to browse on the net, tweet and facebook on the apps, some games, watch videos and use some stock apps and smooth parin trabaho ng PlayBook. I just hope we have more apps targeted for Pinoys like the one sa BB Phones - Metro Traffic Live

just went to globe this afternoon to ask for the APN that their bb max plan uses on or any apn for any phone that's being used by GLOBE.

that is what the GLobe CSR told me. so i guess, wifi hotspot feature just isn't gonna work on my bold 9900.
when i was using android, it the wifi hotspot feature actually worked flawlessly.
i love my bb, but still i would want to make use of the wifi hotspot feature since it's already there.
also, i find the os 7.1 to be holding up nicely on the battery. i find it to have a better battery life than the .540 version.
if anyone of you upgraded to os 7.1 (leaked version) please share your findings!11-27-11 08:41 AMLike 0 - I updated a friend's 9900 and tested the hotspot feature
Okay naman. Mabilis. 3-4mbps sa Putatan area in Muntinlupa. We tested it again sa Makati, 1-2mbps, but significantly spottier yung quality of service.
Try it again. Baka natse-tsempo lang na hindi gumagana yung internet services ng Globe.11-27-11 09:10 AMLike 0 - So it did work? Yung 1-2mbps ay 3G connection lang? That's decent if you'll ask me, considering you can share that much bandwidth using only your phone's data to your other device, kinda makes tethering obsolete since it's more convenient. Matanong ko lang, what device(s) did you use to connect to the bb for the shared connection? Did it went well, worked on first attempt?

Regarding naman sa OS update, just download the latest OS here on CB, and update it. It's easy and there's a tutorial, just dont forget to back up your data.11-27-11 12:30 PMLike 0 -
