Do you notice anything like that on your newer 9900, compared to any other wifi devices you have? I will buy a new one if that problem is fixed.08-24-13 11:57 PMLike 0
- The build date on Blackberrys from AT&T has alway been on the side sticker just above the model number. The one that I got 3 days ago was "140813" (August 14, 2013). The batteries have date codes too.08-25-13 12:01 AMLike 0
- you can have my bold 9900. the battery dies down within 4 to 5 hours. download a couple of apps and the phone hangs and becomes unresponsive. No wonder the company is up for sale and no one wants to buy even the company.08-25-13 04:55 AMLike 0

How frequently, and in what manners do you use your own device?08-25-13 06:36 AMLike 0 -

Sent from my BlackBerry Q1008-25-13 12:23 PMLike 0 - Just to confuse you even more, Ice_Cold_Q.............I'm not sure the year it was made has a lot to do with it. I read somewhere in the forum that the BlackBerrys made in Canada were often touted as having less problems with wifi and just all around better build quality. I can't really say that's true since I have only had BB made in Mexico and have never experienced any of the problems people talk about.08-25-13 01:28 PMLike 0
- There is obviously something wrong with your phone or battery. It does not mean that "most" or "all" 9900 are going to have that problem nor is that the reason the company is up for sale.08-25-13 01:31 PMLike 0

Bold 9900 made in Hungary are better than the ones built in Mexico. just make sure the phone is a Qwerty keyboard and not German Qwertz, or you will not be happy with keypad.

- Hi! New CB member here.
I've had the Bold 9900 (my first-ever BlackBerry!) since its release in 2011. I've made it my main phone, but I still keep my old Nokia as my secondary phone.
I have a couple of issues with it -- specifically the battery life and the spinning clock that won't go away and eventually freezes the phone -- but I still love it so much. Even 2 years after buying it, I still catch myself admiring the gorgeous thing. I've thought of buying the Q10 to replace it, but I can't bear the thought of leaving my 9900! I'm even considering buying another 9900 as a spare in case my current one gives out for good.09-02-13 02:46 AMLike 0 - Hi! New CB member here.

If you are on an old OS maybe it's time to upgrade, and also if you have had the phone for 2 years a wipe prior to reinstall would be a good idea as well as a fresh install of your apps.

- Surprised that you are having battery issues and spinning clock as the latest OS's have improved these issues greatly.

(updated 2012-09-01)
1.(Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
2.Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
*If 100% certain you previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
3.Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
4.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.
5.Go through any 3rd party apps with option to save settings to media card. Conduct Backup to media card within each of these apps. (Examples: Bellshare apps like BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps like Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; etc).
6.Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
7.(Optional) Use desktop app like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
8.On PC, delete Vendor file located here:
64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
9.(Optional/Recommended) Run BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS) or BB Boss v2.2 (not as updated as BBHT).
10.In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load OS to BB. Follow onscreen instructions.
11.After loading OS, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is loaded.
**TROUBLESHOOTING**
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:
A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...-files-709738/
If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn't make new OS available, search PC for "Vendor".
If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)
B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS
1.Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
2.Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
3.Restart PC.
4.Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser's downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
5.Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
6.Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).LuisCast likes this.09-03-13 02:13 AMLike 1
