Hahah. I see what you did there!
So very Bold of you.
Having a good chuckle here.
So I just updated to 1033. This was prompted by my BBDM. Are you recommending that link to 1098? Is 1033 not good enough? Odd that the Desktop program wouldn't prompt for an even newer version.
And wasn't the last version 2931? Where would one get that for our 9900s? Or am I being too Bold? ;P09-05-16 06:36 AM - I'm good on V 7.1 0391
Very stable.
But when I had the 9790 in 2013 it would constantly crash and freeze with the latest update that year. Had it reinstalled no less than 4 times at $10 a pop where I bought it because I was done with Microsoft by then for personal use. Eventually it froze so much I sold the 9790 for $40. So as long as this older version keeps working perfectly on the 9900, I ain't touchin' a thang.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." is the motto for guys like us. And really not even sure why I updated to 1033. It was working pretty fine on 929 or whatever it was. Except for browser occasionally not loading a page, and Tapatalk not quite working right. There isn't much. Still keep getting that white loadscreen: "Status: Initialising service [email address].."I'm good on V 7.1 0391 Very stable.

(I'm wondering if those weird BlackBerry emails in my Hotmail account are somehow connected with this? Because when I go to the App Switcher, I can see "Enterprise Activation" as one of the options there. When I load that, behold! The white screen with that message.)
But that's it. Other than these minor annoyances, phone is working great. Could battery life be better? Yes maybe. And maybe the 1098 OS does as is claimed, give better battery life, but my battery life so far isn't that bad at all. I am going to be getting a second battery though. Just have to find a Batteries+ outlet. (Note to self! Start looking..)
As I always tell my non techy friends, "If your phone is giving you problems, & you can update, consider doing an update. It may resolve whatever issues you're having. Of course always wait a while to see what others who update say, maybe a couple of weeks or so. IF the update sounds OK, go for it. However, if you're not having any problems, if the phone works well, & the update isn't an emergency situation kind of security patch, you might just want to stay with what you've got for a while."09-05-16 11:03 AM - More power to you if the later version works. If I knew it would for me I might try it but I've spent so much on this thing it's not a priority for me.
I also get that white Enterprize screen about 5 minutes after I reboot every time, it doesn't bother me now and I just clear it with the Back button until the next reboot. I remember asking questions about it months ago but no one was really around to answer

There are two numbers to each release.
One is the OS version number. The last OS version, AFAIK, was 7.1.0.1098.
The second number is often called the "bundle" number, which I assume refers to the collection of apps bundled with the OS. For example, the O2 UK version for the Bold 9900 is OS 7.1.0.1098 (Bundle 2930). On the official BlackBerry download page, the bundle number is called the release number.Last edited by Shuswap; 09-05-16 at 11:18 AM. Reason: greater clarity

Anyway so ya that's pretty much the case with my BOLD as well. Only occurs at reboot or startup and I just dismiss it. But I can see that it's running in the App Switcher & thus I presume it is draining precious battery fluids (Gen. Jack D. Ripper voice ;P). That's why I'd like to get rid of it if at all possible. So, asking the question you once asked, again.. Does anyone know how to deal with this?
Here's what it looks like:
09-05-16 02:22 PM - Hmm no that's not the message I get, mine is a little different. And cloudy here, no sun and guess what, I am in Yorkton and we HAD AN EARTHQUAKE lol a 3.1 magnitude, but to be fair it was about 30 kms away and I think it is because they mine potash near Esterhazy. Weird day.Hey Ralph. Gorgeous day out there too I hope. Swimming is great today with the sun so strong.

Last time it happened here, didn't really feel anything, but our old house kind of creaked and groaned a bit, as there was a sudden gust of really strong wind.
So I see two things in your screenshot. You're using Screen Muncher. Does that work on ANY screen? Or it it limited to when you can call it up using the Berry key? And what's your news app? Wouldn't mind a decent news app.09-05-16 02:40 PM - I bet you have gone through a few batteries? Any problems or issues to share?Hi everyone. I just realized that I had not posted here since February 2013. I am still using my beloved 9930 to this day (got it December 2011). What got me poking around was I started looking at apps to see if I wanted to try anything new. Glad to see the activity happening here! I have a lot of reading to do!
Now I really regret not paying the extra $100 back in August 2011 to get one of these, considering all the trouble I had with Camera Modules having to be replaced on my 9780 all the time.
