- When you guys try to send a NEW SMS, does it work?
everytime i try it opens up the previous contact i SMSed?12-09-09 12:05 PMLike 0 -
- I just tested this. I did 2 tests. The first was to a bogus numer that I manually typed in and it went just fine but with an error a few minutes later saying the SMS error'd out. The second was to a contact where I initiated a new SMS and typed in a number to a contact. It recognized the number as a contact and let me send a test message just fine.12-09-09 12:08 PMLike 0

- No i mean say for instance i message: 9999999.
i exit that.. then i click compose sms
i type 88888888 click ok...
at the top it says 9999999
it wont let me message more than one contact. I have to delete the convo to be able to send an SMS to a different contact12-09-09 12:10 PMLike 0 - Using a previous East Asian BB 5.0 release for the 9700, I do a select all of the apploader and java directories and then copy it to the 415 apploader and java directories for the newer OS (in this case, 415.) Then when prompted, choose skip or do not copy and replace the files that have the same file name. When you are done, your 415 installation directory will have all the Asian language installation files as if it were an East Asian language release.
I use this method every time I upgrade an OS and the newer OS does not have the Asian language files.12-09-09 12:19 PMLike 0 - I think i figured it out and it is a serious bug when you have the Arabic language installed!!
If you have arabic installed, the Number 9 does not work, and instead when you type 9, it inserts a 6.
Also, it will not let you send an sms to mroe than one contact.
I am wiping my device and installing without arabic to test.12-09-09 12:20 PMLike 0 -
However, I think my suggested method is the fastest way. Especially since, during the installation, you can simply uncheck the options related to Asian language input if you don't need them.12-09-09 12:23 PMLike 0 - So what would be considered light/normal/heavy usage drain averages? I cleaned up some of the apps I had installed because I thought that's what may be draining my battery. However, I'm still getting an average of around 5% discharge. My usage consists of texting, email, gtalk and some web browsing.12-09-09 12:26 PMLike 0

uh that is becuase you are still in the same SMS thread for some reason. I just ran your test to similar bogus numbers and it is working as expected. Send the first one and quit out of that SMS thread. Send another... working just fine...within any given SMS thread I have no option for a new SMS to a diferent contact until I quit out of that thread. The number at the top changed as expected for me.Last edited by shansmi; 12-09-09 at 12:40 PM.
12-09-09 12:37 PMLike 0 - my friend, i have quit. It is not the arabic language. i have no idea what is causing this.

click compose new sms to 28276832

- Battery update. On top of all the testing for others in this thread, I have been on 2 conference calls. One for 30 minutes and another for an hour. On top of that I have been installing a few themes. My battery is not at 75% considering both conference calls were with BT...12-09-09 02:09 PMLike 0
- After more than 24 hours, here's my findings:
1. Startup time is faster than .405 by approximately 20 seconds, no more pausing on that 75% mark...!
2. No memory leaks whatsoever
3. Battery life is definitely better
4. Browser & WiFi are very fast
5. More quality on audio output, especially on bass & treble boost
Like I said before: Keep 'em coming...!!!12-09-09 02:09 PMLike 0 - I just updated my 9700 last night. I am running on T-mobile. I do see that my faves is back now which i really don't care for but i have been getting a network notification message like every hour now saying i have a invalid picture for one of my contacts. please use a gif or jpeg.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE
If you don't want my faves you can do a search on how to delete it. That will stop the messages.
If you want to fix it, go to your mytmobile account on your desktop, go to edit my faves, and replace the icons one at a time, hitting save chages for each icon you have. That will lock them in and stop the messages.12-09-09 02:11 PMLike 0
