Leaked OS 7.1.0.402 for BlackBerry Bold 9900 Findings and Fixes

I had a similiar experience with .342 but I�m fine with .402.
Obviously radio files work better with some carriers than with others, that is one of the reasons for not everybody releasing the same official OS version.
Les us hope that the next version to pop up will give a better signal experience!!05-09-12 06:11 AMLike 0 - i got a good battery life on .402 the first day...more than 30 hours....but i could not duplicate the same feat in the succeeding days.
Memory leak was another issue. There was hardly any leak the first few days. but deteriorated in the next few days.
Furthermore, beweather sometimes cannot see my location regardless my manual updates. sometimes it works, sometimes, not. BBtraffic has difficulty locking on to a gps signal too.
So i tried .391 last night. BBtraffic locks on to gps almost immediately and beweather seems to locate me right away.
As to battery and memory leak, i cannot give details less than 24 hours into this OS. But let's see in the next few days....05-09-12 10:02 AMLike 0 -
- Shout out to scouts36 and mss-ca,
thanks to you both, i was able to solve the problems on my phone. Reloaded the OS, carefully reinstalled the apps and found out that COD file called "net_rim_bbid_.."was causing the problem. Left it out during installation and that did it.
Once again, thank you. U guys rock!

Now moving my Music again...05-09-12 05:48 PMLike 0 - Hey,
First off I spent 5 hours last night attempting to update .402 then .391.
I managed to download .402 OS earlier - deleted the only vendor file i could find then followed Elite 1's OS update instructions.
I have download to my BB via app loader and after I downloaded via bb DM. Neither have worked and my .342 still remains on my bb.
I am using windows xp atm btw. I followed Elites1's trouble shooting vendor file part - ''Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML''
I am unable to find the 'application data' part.
I would appreciate any help or even better an OTA link which would take hours but would be quicker

Something is obviously causing a disturbance.05-10-12 04:27 PMLike 0 - So I've been running .402 for a few days now and I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents. Also to let you know I upgraded from the latest Rogers official of 7.0 to this.
1) Memory leak is very noticeable as the day goes on. Phone gets a tad sluggish.
2) Haven't seen anyone mention this yet but when I click the notification bar at the top to view a text or answer a facebook message, the notification still remains even after I open or respond! I have to close the notification bar and then re-open it for it to clear.
3) Facebook messages and BBM group messages appear under Messages (which is cool and it's always done this for me) but they also appear under Messages when I open the notification bar at the top (not cool as I see it under Messages and also BBM). Hopefully that makes some sense.
4) Battery seems about the same to me. My usage changes so much day to day. If I had to guess I would say it's slightly worse.05-11-12 08:15 PMLike 0 - Worse case scenario: Do a security wipe, or reload the OS clean, then do a selective restore with only the essentuals: skip everything but options, theme settings and icon arrangement, contacts (addressbook), memopad, calender, browser bookmarks.
Something is obviously causing a disturbance.05-12-12 05:02 AMLike 0 - 5) Screen doesn't fade to black while plugged in while in bedside mode. Some how though I feel there is a setting to deal with this?05-12-12 08:12 AMLike 0

For me on Voda UK last night I was getting a signal in a couple of Bars where with every previous build I had a big red SOS !!!
Also noticed slower battery drain when travelling in the car for work (do on average 100 miles a day between varying locations) which suggests to me that when on the move I am also getting a better signal.05-12-12 09:55 AMLike 0 - Yah, i'm not sure yet i still need my phone for my work and usual, so i can't really miss it. Maybe i'm gonna give it a try and update it tonight. Noticing the signal is just way too jumpy for me on this one.05-12-12 03:06 PMLike 0
