Leaked OS 7.1.0.205 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Findings and Fixes (
- (To the person nash was replying to) You can't delete it through App world, though it does give you the option to delete in app management in options. BUT giving you the option doesn't mean it will allow it as it's a core application. I haven't tried deleting BBM because I actually use it. But I don't think your phone will speed up significantly or increase battery life significantly if you delete BBM.01-25-12 09:13 AMLike 0
- I've had this installed for 48 hours now, and in that time the hourly discharge rate for medium usage for me is 3.16% (from device analyser) so I'm quite satisfied with that.
Other than that, I can't notice any real differences with .190.01-25-12 11:41 AMLike 0 - Prior to this update, whenever I received a message , the backlight would turn on and I would be able to read the "Toast" pop-up from BeBuzz. Now the screen remains dark and only the notification of a message is the vibration and LED. I have to press a key to turn on the backlight. Anyone else have this issue?01-25-12 11:46 AMLike 0
- I'm finding a bit of a memory leak with this build? Also seems to reset once & awhile. Never had a leak on any other build before, not sure it it may be whatsapp though? I updated that just before installing this leak. Perhaps it is my issue? Love Mobile Hotspot though.01-25-12 06:55 PMLike 0
- For all you tmobile USA people who are wishing they could get the new mobile hotspot feature to work - as per tmonews.com, tmobile has an unadvertized limited time promotion where you can get a 5gig data plan which includes mobile hotspot and their photo sharing options bundled in at the regular price of $30 ($35 if you need BES).
Anyone can ask for the bundle - it is NOT limited to new customers, and even if you already have a 5gig plan, you can still upgrade to this new bundled plan.
This morning I changed my plan to this...and forgetting about the fact that they provisioned me incorrectly until I was able to talk to a blackberry support person, my hotspot is now working PERFECTLY and FAST! This afternoon I got over 8mb/s download speed using speedtest.net.
I am a happy customer!
Note that this is a limited time promotion (no date defined so I can't tell you when it ends, but it will end). So I suggest you jump onto the plan while it's available!.01-25-12 08:00 PMLike 0 - For all you tmobile USA people who are wishing they could get the new mobile hotspot feature to work - as per tmonews.com, tmobile has an unadvertized limited time promotion where you can get a 5gig data plan which includes mobile hotspot and their photo sharing options bundled in at the regular price of $30 ($35 if you need BES).

Did you have to extend your line or your contract? In addition, is there any down side to this new plan compared to the old one?01-25-12 09:58 PMLike 0 - i have had nothing but success with the 205 build, and that is the same with the 190 i had before. periodically it works a little slower but nothing im going to complain about..01-26-12 02:54 AMLike 0

And there are always some people who suffer poor battery life no matter what they do.01-26-12 04:12 AMLike 0 - I have been reading this posts since relese day. I�m on 7.0 casue I update to the .190. leaked version and I have suffered from the reset of the devide ramdonly and also the proble of have full 3G and I cant surf or receive a call or email till I uncheck and check the radio (swith it off and on)
I have read that someone here (just 2 o 3 person) are suffereing from the same bug, could some confirm to me if there is just a strange reason thought app or it is a bug on the lea OS?
I have a very big problem the the baterry drain as I use to travel a lot, somedays I don�t have opportunity to charge it every 4 hours as I�m suffering some days more than 15% drain per hour
thank you in advance!
I�m suffering some ramdon reset a 7.0 also, (about 1 per week, at .190 it was up to 3 per day!)01-26-12 05:57 AMLike 0 -

In addition, I am now seeing faster speeds on my phone - e.g. using performance.toast.net I had never seen speeds faster than 2.9mbps. But after the change I have seen speeds as high as 5.3mbps.
So from everything I found out, there was no downside to me switching.
And...as long as your current voice plan is compatible with the new data plan, there is no contract extension. In my case, I was on the old unlimited loyalty plan which it turned out was NOT compatible. However, I got myself transferred to the customer loyalty department and they were able to switch me to the classic unlimited voice and text plan without changing my contract term and they discounted it by $10 per month so I am paying exactly the same as I was before, but now I also have unlimited texting!
A win/win/win!mypearl1 likes this.01-26-12 06:56 AMLike 1 - I have to say, my battery is horrible, I'm usually one of these people that has been very fortunate in the past. I have gone through all the apps I can think of and turned off updates (facebook, travel, weather). I've had it since day 1, it just gets worse. A couple of weirdnesses:
1) The data "transmission" arrows are on a lot. This leads me to believe some darn app is sending something, and sometimes, when I'm using google voice and on a call, the call drops. So something is probably incompatible.
2) I get seemingly "random" app loads. Its weird, its like the touch screen is way too sensitive, and loads a random app (I've turned screen sens. way down, to no avail).
Neither happened with the latest 7.0 leak. Not worth going back, but certainly worth experiementing to see what the heck the issues might be.01-26-12 09:17 AMLike 0 - I have been reading this posts since relese day.

Anyone else out there facing this issue?
p.s. Am still on 7.1.0.190, and from what nsane1 is saying, seems this version is also doing the same thing...01-26-12 10:50 AMLike 0 - My battery drain is around 5% per hour, and am 100% sure its to do with the data transmission arrows, sometimes mine stays constant till I turn off the bb via the power button and when I turn it back on, its back to normal.

Anecdotally, if you press and hold the Alt key the arrows are said to go away !!!BK_Guji likes this.01-26-12 11:06 AMLike 1 - Yea it did it on 190, but I was only on that one a few days, I moved in teh first hour on 205 to see if it would reduce it, so maybe I just have had more time to notice it. Godo to know I'm not alone this time...
I'll try the alt key, sometimes these "connections" are on for a minute or so. I wish there was an app that showed which app was transmitting, I'm an app and don't want to just start deleting crap...01-26-12 11:13 AMLike 0 - Yea it did it on 190, but I was only on that one a few days, I moved in teh first hour on 205 to see if it would reduce it, so maybe I just have had more time to notice it.

Sometimes I am getting 10 to 11% battery drain and I cry a little.
Then I get 2% an hour today and I am ecstatic.
I think the biggest difference is that I have strong reception for both wi-fi and 3g in office and poor reception in my work office. Thats my guess. But the most annoying part is that my work office flickers from full bars to no bars and wi-fi cuts in and out a lot. No idea why.
So far I havent experienced the problem of having full bars but zero data or voice call capability, which I got on a previous hybrid of 7.1.190.01-26-12 03:54 PMLike 0 -
Anyone else got an idea of what might be causing it, or with an idea of a fix, or anyone else facing this issue, come forward...01-26-12 04:20 PMLike 0
