[NwadikeTT]

I've been trying to download this 5 times now. Every time it waits until the last second remaining in the download to tell me that the download got interrupted. Is there another link or better yet a torrent of this OS?

nice to see there are some updates for my bold

[CrazyJo82]

So, I've used this update for a day or so. I like it. I did a shrink to the OS and noticed the emails are threaded like gmail. It's nicely organized. I didn't notice this feature on the bell release.

So, far I did notice a bit more memory leak but overall, it's good.

If I understand what you're talking about, you've always had the option to group messages or display single ones.

In regards to the update, I've noticed my (brand new) battery draining faster. I'm going to downgrade and see if it stays that way.

I can't access BBDA on my device after this. Anyone else experiencing this?

(Also FourSquare doesn't work for me, but that might be unrelated.)

Sometimes it is hidden.

Try going into Options>Device>Advanced System Settings. Hold Alt and type BBDA. Exit and go back into Advanced Settings and BBDA should be there if it is installed with the OS.

Don't thinks its been in any 9900 build for a while now unless you loaded it manually when you did the update.

[kramit16]

The 2G/3G option is carrier dependant and not related to the OS you are running.

If your carrier has blocked the option there is nothing you can do about it, sorry.

[Johnny_Canuck]

Yeah, I've tried this a few times, and no dice. I think it got left out of this build.

If you really want it then you could use the BL Hybrid RC20 over this base OS.

BBDA is included with the Hybrid.

I've been running .1098 for a few weeks now and my 9900 has never performed better.

[rango10]

Wonder if they're going to release any newer more advanced updates since they announced they're supporting os7 devices til 2015

Z10 10.2.1.1925

[95impyss]

Just updated to this os. Notice better battery life, smoother operation. But voice note is unable to record. Only shows previously recorded notes. No record icon. For some reason my most recent emails do not show up in the individual email icons. Only in the messages icon. Kind of a bummer. Tried a fresh download and install, same results.

- Voice Notes Recorder is in there...
- Go to Messages folder > BB menu > Options > Inbox Management > unselect ur individual email

**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).

Thanks dude, so I'm guessing by that reply I wont be getting the latest update automatically via OTA or via desktop software?

OTA updates on OS7 are to be avoided at all costs, nothing but trouble.

By following the steps in the guide you can load any OS from any Carrier on your 9900 as and when they are released.

With the emphasis now firmly on BB10 the chances of getting new OS's pushed by your carrier are slim.

I would guess that only a very small proportion of 9900 users actually use an OS approved by their carrier, most of us load up the latest version to drop irrespective of who releases it.
