    Well, tonight's activities involved getting rid of the T4BB beta and social feeds. I was getting stupid battery activity. From 100 to 20 % in 5 hours, but charging back to 100% in 45 min. I thought my seidio 2600 battery was dying (its due, had it since 8/09). But dumping T4BB and social feeds, then doing a battery pull long enough that the device thought it was being shelved seemed to put things back into shape. This is good cuz I don't want to buy a battery if I'm getting the bold touch this summer!

    That's interesting that Twitter beta and social feeds were causing your battery to drain so much. Just curious, what do you set the refresh rate at? Did you drop back to an older version of T4BB?

    I don't blame you for not wanting to buy a new battery if your upgrading soon. The Bold Touch does sound nice!

    I set the refresh rate at 5 minutes. I know that's likely part of it. I just dumped T4BB altogether and am running UberSocial now.
    Something is still odd with the discharge rate. Meterberry is reporting a whopping 31% per hour discharge but I'm thinking it will slow down later in the discharge cycle.

    lol - can you tell I spend way too much time on here? I need help. Another Dr. Prince show, I think. An intervention on addiction to battex skins, bw icons, themes, and wallpapers
    LOL! Dr.Prince where are you??? Hamster needs an intervention show asap!

    Well, idk about you, but I've got nearly 1000 wps already and I lost count on BattEx skins. Its insane how much ish you can load up and as your skimming thru the day you see a wp and go "oh! i forgot i had that one!" LOL

    I do know jaydee has quite the collection!

    thats just crazy! At least ditching the social's improved your batt life, buying a batt now if your looking to get the Bold Touch this summer would be a waste of money.

    Pink, I will talk to Al3azim and see if I can share my 2 slot version with you. I don't think he'd mind, but I want to get his permission.
    Also, I kinda like the look of the one slot as well, so maybe I will install it too!!! What the heck? I only have 17 themes installed right now. What's another couple? Right???

    No typo. Same.Same. No shame in being addicted to the most functional piece of technology around. We reserve the "hall of shame" for those who bail out for a droid. They always give me a laugh, especially when they come back.

    Well, here's something I just learned....talk about a bb noob moment!

    So, I've been cruising around in the app store and keep coming across these special apps to "lock bbm" and I am thinking....what's so special about bbm that you would want to pay for an app to lock it??!?!?

    Then holy molies...I finally come across the forum section about pin/barcode sharing....WOWSERS!! It's like bb porn....yikes, lol!!

    Jim, I have a question for you regarding this post you made in the OS6 column view thread:
    To enable the text wrap feature you need to have the magnifying glass hovering over the portion you want to view. Then press the trackpad. It will be blurred for a few secs then come into focus with a larger font viewing area and all in a column like format. If it doesn't work the first time, repeat. It's an acquired skill it would seem.
    I can't get my little magnifying glass to come up to do this. am I doing something wrong?
    03-01-11 12:48 PM
  19. cbreze's Avatar
    OK, I'm assuming you've seen the magnifying glass so you know what I mean. On CB for instance you need to enable default view for it to even show.
    With your bold go to the bottom of any CB page and enable the "default" view if it's not already. Then you should get it to come up. Then just hover and press. Takes a little learning curve to adjust to, but I use it exclusively on CB as it beats the heck outta scrolling alot. It won't appear on all sites, but with trial and error you'll get it figured out soon. Let me know how it goes.

    OMG! Life just got easier reading the forum here on CB! Holy crap! I never discovered this because I always used m.crackberry.com and not "default view" like you said. tyvm for this Jim!
    It does take a lil bit longer for the page to load up, but, omg, its sooo worth it!

    Sorry, but I disagree with people who think they need to block BBM.
    It is the single most useful app I have on my phone. How else would I reach my editors, day or night? Or my friends? Or check on Bob's whereabouts? Or see if Paul is holding up ok? Or check the Dr Prince show?

    Besides the Ramblers, and BlackBerry Empire, I also run a Fantasy Football League made up of entirely BB users. We have never met but the 11 guys and me talk on the weekends during the season. I am their commissioner. So I have a list of those contacts. Some of them have moved to Droids, so we SMS but regardless, we still connumicate.

    BBM communication is what you make it. Don't post in the social forums unless you want to be inundated with requests for adds. But I have to tell you, I have met people on BBM that I like more than my own family. And that's the truth!

    Look at Chitowngirl! I met her on BBM and when she was ill I called and asked for her phone number. We regularly talk on the phone just to say hello. Diff parts of the country.

    Or having Al3azim on your BBM...is that not a benefit?(Aside from the fact that he is a very funny guy!) And a moderator? HAHA Check and check.

    Give BBM a chance sometime. You may enjoy it!!

    Jaydee, I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying about BBM. I too use BBM all the time to communicate with many, many people. I use to it talk to my physicians at work, my friends and coworkers and have added several people from CB that I will probably never meet.

    Along with simply chatting with BB contacts I have also added most of my frequent non bb owners to the sms section so they come up under my bbm icon and alert sound as well.

    Along with this I use it to simply update my status so that people know if I don't answer the phone that I am in a meeting, etc, etc....

    And I see my typo in my inital post....should have read "lock" instead of "block". I couldn't figure out why someone would pay for an app to lock this feature. So.....when I stumbled onto that section of CB it became very apparent why many people would indeed want BBM to be very private and for password protected eyes only. Seeing the requests for people with certain sexual orientation or what type of BDSM practices they enjoy in their private lives just surprised me was all.

    If people are looking for that and want to post their pin out there for anyone to see then that is simply their preference....I had just never thought of putting that information out there was all I was saying.

    So yes, I use BBM and yes, I enjoy it very much.
