Leaked OS 7.1.0.402 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Findings and Fixes
- Why not go through the control panel and disable some or all of the eye candy, if that's even possible, to speed it up? Or run a cpu/task monitor/manager to see if a run-away process isn't causing that. It happens with ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The later ones don't have that issue. It could be an older kernel, or a bug too.04-21-12 07:24 PMLike 0
- I'm run Mac OS X Lion and totally agree. Actually the only reason I went to apple laptop is battery life and the trackpad...04-21-12 07:44 PMLike 0
- Mint is catching up rather quickly (follows ubuntu), other distros are also catching up. Some gestures are already supported. More to come once 12.04 LTS of ubuntu comes out, mint 13 to follow.04-21-12 07:47 PMLike 0

- Can anyone confirm whether the bug of receiving a new SSID every time mobile hotspot is enabled has been fixed? I am on TMO. Thanks!04-21-12 08:43 PMLike 0
- looks like ill be sticking with .267 - best battery/stability imho
this seems like abit of a dud like someone else mentioned, yes many people aren't having any problems with .402 but too many people ARE for me to upgrade - not consistent enough for my liking04-21-12 08:59 PMLike 0 -

I enabled it and made a test call and it worked fine. I installed the new os last night and did a few reboots since then because of the app updates but never tried wifi calling until now. But it did work. Are you not able to turn it on or you getting a certain error?

- Not very happy with the stock Radio sfi of this .402 build. Its like the .342 build and fluctuates, leading to more draw of resources and a higher battery drain (evident from MeterBerry stats).
Tried to swap the sfi from .318 onto this BUT got "APP ERROR 200" while installing OS - thus it landed me into a whole set of trouble like use JL Cmdr to fully wipe to error 507 and then re-install .402 with the stock sfi to restore the 9900.
Can someone pitch in as to How I may be able to get the 318 sfi into this 402 cods and load ? Seems to me some compatibility issues ...04-22-12 02:41 AMLike 0 - Not very happy with the stock Radio sfi of this .402 build.

But is has been idling at around 0.7% on 3G and WiFi if that helps you at all.04-22-12 04:01 AMLike 0 -
It seems there is now a consensus that .342 radio is junk.
Your credibility just suffered [another] hit...
I hate when people waste others time by providing wrong information...

04-22-12 04:33 AMLike 0 - Right, so here's what I have noticed on my 9900
1). There's new options in App world, now NFC sharing via tag.
2). There's the ability to show what is unavailable for your device in App World now.
3). Parental controls. Allows you to limit application usage, and even restrict incoming calls to numbers from contacts only
4). Firewall is now enabled by default. Although screening of all things is off, so it's ineffective unless you configure it.
5). Very small, but the Battery saving mode icon has changed now.
6). BBID is now in the Set-up application
7). This may have been rectified since .267 but test sounds in Device Analyser work now.
As far as battery life goes, load it and carry a charger for a few days, that's what I do.
Pop sound upon re-boot is still there but I don't see why it bothers people, it's not even loud...
So far this looks like a great OS and I will keep y'all posted over the coming days. Mobile hotspot also works on Vodafone UK still. On AT&T it says contact carrier.
there s 1 new feature s Media Server (at the bottom of option: Networks and connections)

- I'm updating to this os later this on this evening. Just wanted to know if it is better to keep the OS the original size or would I run into issues if I shrink it?04-22-12 09:58 AMLike 0
- There is actually no need to shrink it, as if it's on the shrinking list you can shrink those out if you want.
But if you shrink some features out some features might not work anymore.
You gotta know what you are shrinking out.hybrid1976 likes this.04-22-12 10:00 AMLike 1 - Has anyone tried to pair this with the Playbook? I'm having problems with the bridge. It keeps on saying it's disconnected, and then it connects again, and then it disconnects again, and on and on. Never had problems with it before i loaded this os04-22-12 10:32 AMLike 0

As usual - shrinking kept the trash out for a more responsive phone experience.

- Have u tried deleting the bridge app from the phone and then the pairing from the PB, and then add back to phone and pair again? This may solve your issue.
