Leaked OS 7.1.0.402 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Findings and Fixes

I think that was good! my phone only idle when i sleep.. so, if your discharge rate was when your idling for meeting or anything else but not because you are sleeping. It was great! that my opinion.

Thanks, anyway.04-24-12 06:11 AMLike 0 - 04-24-12 07:00 AMLike 0
- Blah!
I wish people would stop comparing batt drain rate, as there is no way on earth we use our devices the same way.
Network conditions are also different.
You need to try it out yourself.

So do I.
Zocster was right! There is no way our battery drain same. Just choose the best OS for us.
I just can't hold back myself from having the latest build in my phone not matter what the result it is.

On calls, seems to be using around 1% of battery for every 5 minutes of use, again with 5 bars of 3G.
Installed within minutes of the leak dropping, no issues to report.MrVeda likes this.04-24-12 08:52 AMLike 1 - Liking the battery feedback, I'll be loading my 9900 with this later.
I usually stick to 2G (I'm running .267) which usually gives me about 16 hours battery with heavy usage. The past couple of days have been using 3G+2G to see how bad it is.... I get about 6 hours before I need to charge it again.
Hoping this does improve as I really want to keep my 3G on, but not expecting it to.04-24-12 09:22 AMLike 0 - Liking the battery feedback, I'll be loading my 9900 with this later.

I have found using that to be far better on the battery than the 2G/3G option which is a killer IMO.04-24-12 09:26 AMLike 0 - That I'm not sure?? I assumed that the 3G/2G would be better as when I'm not in 3G range, I'll still have reception... I'll give that a try. Cheers04-24-12 10:01 AMLike 0

In the UK I have found that even a very weak 3G signal uses less battery than the 2G/3G option and it's rare I drop coverage completely even when travelling for work.Jake90087 likes this.04-24-12 10:06 AMLike 1 - Trouble with the 2G/3G option is that it is constantly searching for the best signal available and using juice doing so.

I'll upgrade later and see what using the 3G only option does.04-24-12 10:12 AMLike 0 - Trouble with the 2G/3G option is that it is constantly searching for the best signal available and using juice doing so.

Last time I charged the phone was 24 hours ago. The battery consumption rate up to last night was 2.7% per hour. Not heavy use, but it definitely wasn't idling all day. I left it on overnight with bluetooth, wifi and H+. This morning, the average consumption rate had fallen to 1.7%. The battery is still at 55%. This is definitely the best OS on battery that I've used so far and it's rock solid for reliability as well.Legal Eagle likes this.04-24-12 10:44 AMLike 1

- getting 0.4%/hr battery idle on this build with a Rogers 9900. Previously I have the 7.0.0.545/585 hybrid on my phone which is considered to be one of the best for battery life and I was getting 1.3%/hr discharge at best. I think this might be a very very solid build for battery life. RF has been great as well but too early to tell other things04-24-12 01:51 PMLike 0
- I am surprised no one has come up with a fix for this microphone issue. There must be some files from a previous os that can be combined with this one to fix this issue. The OS works great otherwise and is the fastest, smoothest OS I have tried, but I can't be unable to make calls. The fact that this OS got released this way is beyond f***ing stupid! Don't they test these things out at all before just releasing them? Yes, it is a leaked version, but I've never heard of an instance where a leaked OS was different than the official version of the same OS. Can anyone out there who knows about making hybrids help me combine some .342 files with this os so that I am able to use it?04-24-12 02:15 PMLike 0

- After installing 402, I have been unable to pair my BB 9900 with DM on my computer through Bluetooth. I checked other BB 9900s with an OS earlier than 402 and under Bluetooth options, my Desktop Connectivity and Wireless Bypass checkboxes are grayed out while theirs are checked off. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?04-24-12 03:13 PMLike 0
