Is this a 7.1 Software bug? Or hardware bug?
- Up until I upgraded to the latest 7.1 for my Bold 9900.. Its been playing up, a lot!
First off, the screen every now and again crashes, along with the trackpad the only way to get it working again is too do a battery pull.
Secondly the buttons don't work now and again, I can't type ANYTHING. Battery pull once again, fixes this..
Then lastly, some of the buttons will work, but I won't be able to type symbols or numbers, it also types a fullstop mid sentence, a LOT, its really annoying aswel as typing double letters, Its definitely not the way I type, could this be the OS or is it the hardware?
I still have my year warranty so if it carries on I'm taking it to the shop! Before I throw it against a wall xD
Maybe even haggle with the sales people for another phone... :P03-19-12 12:25 PMLike 0 - Up until I upgraded to the latest 7.1 for my Bold 9900.. Its been playing up, a lot!

Your tag line says 9900 on .190, if this is correct it is not the latest release which is .284.

Also another question; if I have the latest release but its not for my network will they still give me a new/refurbished one? Or do I have to have my Carrier's latest OS installed?03-19-12 12:34 PMLike 0 -
- and don't shrink it... use the released OS files - and use the setup to select/deselect options
It is also usually better to re-install your apps after a new OS instead of letting the OS install backup and restore old files... Your problems can be caused by some bad acting app...03-19-12 02:43 PMLike 0 - and don't shrink it... use the released OS files - and use the setup to select/deselect options
