Leaked OS 7.1.0.402 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Findings and Fixes
- Perhaps in the future, whenever we post a new OS for the 9900, we could just cut and paste this question, along with the 'too soon to tell' comments. It would save members from having to type it out every time. It could just automatically be the first 3 or 4 comments, and perhaps eliminate the 'first' posts too.05-01-12 04:19 AMLike 0
- 402 was leaked on a bulk of devices. Chances are it was sent to a major carrier for testing. We may or may not see but you I have a feeling we will. This is a solid build.05-01-12 04:38 PMLike 0
- The SixTool always turns my volume keys to application launch keys. But with this build, it suddenly stop working. If I reboot the phone, it come back to working condition.
The app itself may need an upgrade to work with this new OS. The previous OS 7.1 I had no issues at all.05-01-12 06:24 PMLike 0 - While I agree with you, I don't think this IT policy issue is a problem for most of the consumers out there... so, there is a very high possibility this OS will go official. I found some apps do not work well with this build compared to previous OS 7.1 builds for some reason.05-01-12 06:26 PMLike 0

I found that this happened when I was using the music player. I paused a track using the convenience key between the hard volume controls and left the device in my pocket.
Pulled it out after about half hr and it was off (I note that it felt a bit warm) - hasn't booted since...05-02-12 01:14 PMLike 0 - I'm not so sure about that, my device bricked running this OS build (and I mean seriously bricked - tried everything but couldn't get it to boot again)

I am using 9900, and I was reading all the views and various topics about ver 402 and old one.
just to share my experience...I am now on ver.402 and satisfied completely.
No Battery Drain issues, no hangup, battery pull and speed issues..all gone smooth.
using whatsapp, bbm, text msg, emails, ilock, camera, etc etc and almost 2 to 3 hours talk time a day and phone works almost 24 hours on one charge.
on earlier versions..it works for 6 to 8 hours max.
Thanks to the forum and guys for their ideas and views, which helped me to enjoy my BB again.05-03-12 12:54 AMLike 0 - Were you on 2G or 3G most of the time to achieve almost 24 hours on one charge?

- hi guys,
i might need some of yr opinions. few days ago i tried to load this OS onto my phone, made sure everything was backed up properly (third-party apps included), wiped it clean with BBH tool. everything seems fine until i restored my apps, received notification saying "java.lang.Nullpointerexception", now i can't log into my BB id on the setup wizard and the email setup just keep saying "temporarily unavailable", which means no email ever since.
thoughts?

Tell us if this worked!!05-03-12 06:08 AMLike 0 -
Never heard of this issue. Most possibly not related with OS version. I would try a clean install.

- Also experiencing an issue where sometimes if I have multiple new messages (possibly when having new texts + new email), as soon as I press Messages or Text Messages, all the new messages are instantly marked as read before it takes me into the message list view.
I missed a couple of messages before I realized this was happening, and even now when it happens I have to carefully scan the messages and compare them with what's in my memory to make sure I don't miss anything important.
Really looking forward to the next leak, but that will probably have issues too.05-03-12 05:55 PMLike 0 - Also experiencing an issue where sometimes if I have multiple new messages (possibly when having new texts + new email), as soon as I press Messages or Text Messages, all the new messages are instantly marked as read before it takes me into the message list view.

I have the screen brightness set to the lowest possible setting of 10 to help reduce the drain rate.05-04-12 08:00 AMLike 0 - hi guys,
