- hey guys, so is this update an improvement in terms of battery management, aesthetics, etc? bcuz i only now just updated to .439 so just wondering if its has better improvements?11-03-11 07:47 AMLike 0
- Hmmm, you are meant to get 6.6 hrs phoneing for 100% battery so 30m mins is roughtly 1/13 of this i.e. 8%. take this off the 40% drop and you get left with 32%. from your post times this must have been over 5 hours i.e. about 6% drop per hour:- should be in the order of 2-3% so looks like I'm not alone in experiencing a fast discharge.
I'm now going back to version .439 where I had 2.5%/hr
but thanks for the excellent calculations11-03-11 07:53 AMLike 0 - Struggling to update OS.
Uninstalled previous OS versions, installed new OS. Restarted PC. Removed vendor.xml, used BBSAK (detects no new OS) and used BB Desktop Manager and clicked 'update' - only found current OS version. I'm not new to OS updating but this is grinding my gears.
Any suggestions please?
-edit- Managed to solve it.11-03-11 08:29 AMLike 0 - I had no issue with downloading or installing this. I'll let you know if there is any obvious improvement over the leaked .400 version.
Everything seems to be working smoothly so far11-03-11 08:30 AMLike 0 - Just had an issue with sending pictures through BBM. I would select the picture, but when I went to send it it said media is invalid. I went to battery pull the phone and a dialog came up upon restart telling me that my Built-in Memory had errors and it needed to repair it. Once it finished repairing, I battery pulled the phone again and all was good. All my media was still on my card and on the phone, and now I could send pictures via bbm.
Also, AppWorld opens up much quicker than it did on .400. When I click on the icon, it is almost instantaneously loaded.

- 1% discharge rate on idle is easily achieved with .474

You should try it, because .296 was buggy old garbage!

Now in 9900, it's not there. maybe it is a 9700-only feature or the control is placed elsewhere under options.

- T-Mobile, after claiming to be on the NFC bandwagon in 2010, has reportedly decided that NFC isn't such a good idea after all, at least for the only government-certified NFC-capable phone so far, the 9900. See this article: T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900s Will Likely Not Get NFC | N4BB - News for BlackBerry - leaks, rumors, videos, faqs, reviews.
"Androids can use it. I purchased this phone mainly for the NFC function and now I can't use it? You better give me a new Android phone, no contract renewal, no upgrade fees, don't even think about charging me a penny." =] Take that with a grain of salt obviously.

- I had a problem where with .3xx, after some time the phone would not produce any sounds; emails, sms, bbm would all be received and the LED would blink but no sound which forced me to downgrade to the original 2xx that came with my phone....anyone else experience something like this? this also disabled my alarm clock
