Leaked OS 7.1.0.205 for BlackBerry Torch 9810 Findings and Fixes
- Well, thought that I chime in here even though I have yet upgraded from .190 to this .205. But in case the issue can be looked at as Mecca is building a greater better thing :-)
I notice that after a few missed calls, my phone can no longer make a phone call. Basically, if someone calls me, it goes straight to my voicemail. When I dial out, there is no dial tone at all. The phone still shows strong reception connection! Not sure if it has to do with WiFi calling or not. But I tried to switch off WiFi and make a call again to no avail.
I have no same issue running TMO stock OS!02-06-12 03:12 PMLike 0 - Well, thought that I chime in here even though I have yet upgraded from .190 to this .205. But in case the issue can be looked at as Mecca is building a greater better thing :-)

I also have wifi on all the time, bluetooth all the time and my playbook is connected 24/7
I'm sorry I can't remember what the file was but if you go back I'm sure that it is still downloadable.
Sorry I can't be more help.
Good luck!!!!Last edited by inocent3; 02-11-12 at 12:08 AM. Reason: Forgot some information
02-11-12 12:06 AMLike 0 - I was getting 11% to 12% battery drain before but since I injected the cod mentioned earlier in the thread I have been getting a consistent 3.34% battery drain. I also got rid of a few apps like vlingo, a couple of games I didn't play. Perhaps that might work for you guys.

That didn't help me02-11-12 01:09 AMLike 0 - Just an FYI, my BT always stayed at 99.x% (even with no PlayBook connected) and when it was off (meaning off on the BB and the device off) it dropped for me to 83%. So, analyzer is a neat tool to have, but, like all the others, I take the percentages with a grain of salt.02-11-12 09:07 AMLike 0
- Oh. I'm sorry that didn't help.
I remembered one more thing I removed was battery booster professional. And I cleared out some apps that I wasn't using. Battery booster was using a lot of power in itself (according to the battery analizer).
Perhaps you could try that, look at the analizer, it should say what's eating up most of the battery life and if its not something your desperate to keep then get rid of it. (just a thought anyway)
Good luck again!!!02-11-12 09:21 AMLike 0 - In 7.1, there are apparently two settings: 3G/4G and 2G. It will only switch to 2G if there's no 3G signal. I'm not sure if it still searches for 4G if you have a solid 3G signal.02-11-12 10:55 AMLike 0

I can't remove any of them!02-11-12 01:07 PMLike 0 -
- Just now I have upgraded to this version without any issues. It was very smooth and quick with apploader. Device seems to be very very smooth and snappy compare to .579 and with all my previous apps, I still have 200 MB left. Cool !!
One thing I observed that when I re-downloaded OS 5 ringtones, the previous setup of ringtones I got automatically !! lovely !! I always used to manually set up the msg tones and ringtones I prefer after every OS upgrade and subsequent re-download of OS5 ringtones.
I will keep you guys posted with all the observations and performance.
Thanks02-12-12 06:40 AMLike 0 - after reading via all the posts, and checked my phone i didn't notice one thing until i checked it was the swap to 2g/34 is gone, other than that everything runs fine and dandy, my 4g drop remains at 3% like all the rest before i came from build.540 to this 7.1.205, only for the hotspot so i can use my other phone but like you said its only for tether accounts, guess tether berry will cover this area for now until i use a different provider, but either way tether berry runs on either one. I haven't changed any apps and all works just fine, after burning out the 4g video stream on end the phone rebooted on its own fully powered don't now why that happened but everything looks ok now.
The only thing that's not cool with this build is the option to switch the bands, this is very unattractive, I should of read before updating, and for the bbsak users it works fine but since i have bin running apploader to do everything now, bbsak is a good info logger and wiper.02-12-12 08:02 AMLike 0 - I'm assuming that's 2G/3G. It's not gone. That's now automatic instead of user switched. If you're in an area where 4G/3G is bad, it will switch to 2G. At least that's what's been reported. You just can't determine to do that on your own.02-12-12 08:13 AMLike 0
- correct but not giving the user the ability to manually do the switch is short handed, its like giving you all 2gigs of data when the standard was unlimited its all heading down to controlling the customers or users also the ime phone detecting scam, and auto changing your accounts with out your permission, had this happen enough times, until people start standing up. the future of these devices will only get more and more controlling, until something really blows away. I think att should start charging users 5 bucks to pay there bill's like Verizon was going to do, until people demanded it was a no no. it should be our choices not these carriers. After all its our money that have these companies in business dependent or not.02-12-12 08:29 AMLike 0

- Actually, the ability to manually switch to 2G/3G or "4G" IS in the 7.1 OS - it is AT&T (and perhaps other carriers) that block the feature. People running 7.1 on T-Mobile, for example, do have the ability02-12-12 07:49 PMLike 0
- If that's the case, then I learned something new. And apologize. I knew the hoyspot feature was carrier dependent, don't recall mention of the manual signal switching.02-12-12 10:32 PMLike 0
