i installed this OS, its fine and everything working smooth but the bug of the escape and blackberry button appear again in this version. sometimes i had to press twice on esc or blackberry key inorder to work fine. any one had the same issue and is there any fix for this???
It could be a setting within the router. My 9900 is connected on n and pulling and proper speeds. My router supports channel bonding. I am using WPA2 and AES for encryption. Or possibly a firmware update for the router. Hopefully that helps. My dlink was flaky would have slower speeds and I had intermittent disconnects from it.
Thanks Phill for the explanation!
i have the same problem on my 9790 running the latest official OS release!!!!!!!...and i cant solve the problem....
Welcome to PTCRB
I found something like this so i guessit must be real
Is anyone else getting 24-48 hrs out of this release? Right now I'm at 21 hrs 42 mins 42 secs - 45% battery - 109.70 MB free
Good guess.
how much do you use the phone???? i can barely get more than ~15 hours with moderate/high usage.

I'm on it pretty steady. I'd have to say moderate use.
yea...I also face this problem too...
Question about this build for anyone running it. Are you automatically exited from Bedside Mode when you leave the Clock Screen? Annoyance for me when using the charging dock on the bedside table as like to navigate to home screen to verify lightning bolt to ensure charging. Thanks.

Not the only one. Mine is doing the same darn thing. :P
Regards battery life, I'm getting reasonable drain rate, BBDA is showing 8.5% over the week, but I get some very strange behaviour where my battery will plummet from 40, 50 or even 60% to "radio off" almost instantly. The highest BBDA discharge I've found is 143% per hour! That's nothing compared to the claimed charge rate of 950.49% per hour!
Is anyone else having issues? Is it a bad install? A bad battery? The phone is just over a year old and just out of warranty :(
I'll try and get the screen grabs up when I'm on my computer
As your phone is over a year old, it may be time to replace the battery. My phone is also over a year old and my battery was acting the same way as yours. I had replaced it several weeks ago and my phone with its new battery, can cruise to 24 hours before needing another charge....
hi Guys i am from india can i use this update to my 9900 as my os is 7.1.0 bundle 1646 i tried to update it from handheld but its showing your blackberry is up to date
read the first page for instructions on updating. You install it on any 9900. its pretty simple if you dont want to shrink and all.

Well another slight update. I gave it a full overnight charge, and it seemed a lot better today, I wonder if it had got a bit out of calibration or had some weird charge memory thing going on. Got about 9 hours of VERY heavy use out of it. Probably 5 hours actively using it. Much better
And just as a follow up I re-tested this version and had the same problem. My phone is no longer a phone. The icon is gone, won't receive or make a call.
Now I have to waste another 2 hrs of my life downgrading the phone and making it talk to my BESx server at work again...
NOT HAPPY>!
Oh and I can't factory reset the phone as that will involve more messing about with the BES, so this software build for me at least is BAD and leaves my phone not being a phone. I Can;t waste anymore time messing about with it I need a working phone that's a phone not just an object which lets me do email...
Back to the old build of software & my phone works as a phone.... There is deffo *A* problem somewhere here...
Sorry to hear you are having problems. For me, the load installed and activated with the BES completely without incident.
Actually - after both the failed upgrade and the successful downgrade BES behaved its self and I didn't need to fight the server to get the phone back on that.
I'm still left with the problem that .825 on my device = no working phone. I have just seen .861 in another post. I may try that over the weekend if I have some time & the will to mess about for a couple of hrs.
guys i updated my 9900 yestaday but i think my battery is draining fast then before but what's new in this update i didnt find any??
i charged my 9900 full this morning but now only 83 is remain.:crying:
Battery drain is always high for the first couple of days after install regardless of version. - do a couple of battery pulls. (First time installing new OS?)
I found this version settled fast and discharge was better than previous versions.
hmmmmmm ok will try it
With this version I can't enter numbers with a + anymore. It doesn't work for phone calls and text messages. The suggestion then shows only "Phone: OSS" (for +44) and doesn't recognize that this is a number. i have to type 0044 but this is a problem as this is countryspecific while +44 works in every network. has this been fixed in a newer version?
