Leaked OS 7.1.0.267 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Findings and Fixes
- Worst OS yet!
1. Battery drains more than it ever did before.
2. Trackpad ONLY works on the homescreen, nowhere else.
3. Buttons don't press down always, the alt button doesn't work, I can't type numbers or get symbols, without pressing the sym key.
There is more likely more but this is all I have found so far...

It won't harm the battery, in fact, lithium batteries like to be topped off.02-21-12 03:10 PMLike 0 - Worst OS yet!

Then run app loader from c/programs/ common files/research in motion/ app loader
See if a vendor file stills inside, delete it run app loader and follow the procedures

-Uninstalled DM 6
-Cleaned out the computer
-Restarted the computer
-Installed DM 7
-Restarted the computer
-Installed 7.1.0.267
-Restarted the computer
-BBSAK to Wipe the phone
-BBSAK to Reset the phone to Defaults
-Deleted (2) vendor.xml files (New DM = 2nd file)
-Right click on loader.exe and hit "Run as Administrator"
-Choose install options (see suggestions) & let it rip
Suggestions: At this point I usually uncheck anything that can be installed by AppWorld using the PC browser, including AppWorld. This way all my/your apps can be installed at once after your computer installs a fresh copy of AppWorld and you set it up on your phone. Why? Because you will end up with the newest version of all the apps installed FIRST and you will not need all those %$#�/}@! Updates. Does it eliminate problems? Don't know. Installing them 1 or 2 at a time using the phone is a pain though, and it takes forever.
Notes: Make sure the loader installs Blackberry Maps & Password Keeper or You will be SOL on those. Also, go to the storage settings and run the "Repair" routine on your built-in storage and your media card.
Be sure to use alt+shift+del to restart the phone 4 or 5 times. Good Luck.Last edited by olblueyez; 02-21-12 at 09:15 PM.

This build's battery life for me is comparable to the stock os of 7.0.250 on tmobile. I don't have anything set for refresh (fb, twitter). At first, I thought it was just the os settling in but apparently not..this is disappointing.02-21-12 06:21 PMLike 0

- All I have to say is wow.
9am to 6pm came home with 41% battery.
About 100bbm's
9 texts
1 30 min phone call
30 mins in a non service area
Refreshed socialscope like 200 times. Lol
Berryweather pulling every 30 mins
Meter berry pulling every 15
And most importantly aprox 3hrs of streaming pandora. This is insane for this phone. I averaged 0.7-0.9 until I started streaming.
I almost don't need my spare battery.

While I was on 7.0 (official ones), speed dialing would first pop up the call history page (phone application) and then do the dialing (didn't really matter).
Just tried it on this one - The call log page doesn't appear anymore.02-21-12 10:56 PMLike 0 -
- I have stopped trying out BB Protect on my BlackBerry. The app installs and starts up just fine. Then I keep getting a message that my network services doesn't support the app (go figure).
Also - ever since I got my 9900, haven't been able to install BlackBerry Travel. Even when I do get it on the direct link or try installing using the alx file (through DM) - it says the app is NOT COMPATIBLE with my device.
Couldn't figure it out. Still haven't. Just stopped trying.02-21-12 11:08 PMLike 0
