Constantly "searching for network"??!!
Hi, since the past couple weeks, my BlackBerry 8830 loses wireless signal every few minutes, and the status almost constantly shows "searching for network".
This happens more often than not.
VZW claims they've never heard of this problem, and say the handset may be defective.
I don't neccessarily want to get a new handset as my old handset's PIN is known to a lot of my friends...
I've done all the usual battery removals, reboots, wipe handheld, reload OS, register handheld, send service books,updated PRL, etc. etc. at least a couple times each.
Any thoughts? Thx.
Been working this issue with VZ Network Ops - LETS GET THIS FIXED!!
Hey all,
I've been working this issue for over two months with VZ network ops, and all points to an OS issue. Of course the very nice tech I'm working with needs more examples of the issue in order to get VZ/RIM to fix the issue in OS. From my own testing I've found that the original shipping OS had no problems with roaming in Canada, but the newer release (downloaded from the VZW smithmicro site) seems to suffer from the issue many of you have seen. I have also swapped hardware and everything else mentioned.
So, in order to move this along I'd like to forward the cell numbers and dates of incidents to my tech at VZ net ops, and let him run it up the pole. If you can PM me that info I'll get it over to him. Otherwise you're welcome to open your own ticket (I wish you luck in that venture), and PM me for my ticket number to reference.
Lets get this fixed!
