    Works on the 9670 Style. Thanks! Now I know how bad my signal is J/K but my signal does suck at my house.

    hi all,
    i stay in Singapore and this ofcourse works on my BB 9700.
    however, what is surprising that my phone shows perpetual -11/-12dBm and still works fine.

    however, i have 1more question here.
    below the -11/-12, there is 1 more -2 showing which has stumped me and i have no clue what it is.

    can some1 explain pls.
    thanks,

    On OS6 I've seen it working fine at -120 too. The second number has to be WiFi strength.

    I posted this tip years back when I had an 8800.. I'm surprised to hear that you can see the number of satellites now? Gee.

    I'd imagine it's the same technique as a Storm:

    Ok took me a while to figure this out on my storm but here's how I did it. First I changed my left convience key to virtual keyboard then I changed my keyboard to full keyboard n typed in ! , " " and walla presto chango. Ohh n this was all done in portrait mode n not landscape. Hope this helps the storm folks having trouble

    Works on the 9930.


    Except whenever I open an app or place a call, the dbb revert back to the bars. The dbm only shows on the home screen...

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I've just bought a brand new bold 9900 a few weeks back and have had to replace it twice due to problems. Now I have a problem that 90% of the time the signal is between -99 dBm and -102 dBm which is ridiculuos! But for the rest of the time it stays on -88 dBm. Just now it went on to 256 dBm without the minus. I know it sounds absurd after reading the thread but that's where it was for about 10 seconds.

    Whole other topic. Could be a defective antenna, your location, or provider. Definitely something best handled through tech support, with your carrier.

    Yeah! Had the 9700 for over 2 years and used this on it, worked wonderfully. Unfortunately the trackpad (I think) went wonkydoodle on me. It was like watching a pinball bounce around.

    That was 3 days ago. Now, I have the 9900 (am hoping/praying I can fix my 9700 -- love that phone!), and finding out that this works on it was fantastic. You see, I am finding out some of the things that I used on my 9700 don't/won't work with the 9900. So, this is really cool! Was glad to find it again. )

    Ok it works for me Bold 9900 on the latest Rogers OS.
    But when I restart or do a battery pull, it reverts back to the bars. Is there a way to make it permanent?
