BB Bold 9700 :: How To Upgrade - Best Build Out For Tmo?
Jan 7, 2010
I just got mine, and its great. I cant get over 100+mb free space..and OS 5.0.0.330 tmo official is fine but I cant help myself and want to upgrade(lol). Whats the best build out for tmo? I wanted to put .405 att official on but I read a bunch of posts saying to stay away from that unless you are AT&T...I am not really sure why, I never heard of carrier specific builds...RIM makes the build and carriers call them official if they pass their tests.I do not want bugs...Im over that...gone through trying every single new build on my 9000, lololol.I want one with the best battery life possible and everything working.

After reading several threads concerning the build quality of the handsets made on Canada and Mexico, When I received my replacement handset and found that it was made in Canada (on 16 Jan 2010) I set about to finding faults in it. (I have always had a phone made in Hungry) I pressed the damn thing all over, shook it, tested the buttons and eventually FOUND that the track pad was raised at the top. Looking at it further, I discovered that what I thought was the raised bit was the ridge where the hosing meets the screen and the track pad is completely sound and flush.
Although I started (because I was convinced that Canadian and Mexican handset have inherent faults) (and my apologies to All the Canadian and Mexican people), I discovered that this handset is better than the one I had before (which was made in Hungry).Apart from everything being solid, the keypad is slightly different (in my opinion) then my old handset. The raised bits (or ridges) on each key are more prominent so when I move my finger or thumb, Iknow I am on a different key thus avoiding the typing mistakes.
I just wanted to share this because I am sure we all get influenced by what we read and although I am sure that there are some poorly build handsets out there, our starting point should be that the phone is fine, and then deal with anything else that transpires.

every couple of days, my year-and-a-half old phone fails to connect to the internet. Twitter, Facebook, and the Browser do not work, saying that I am unconnected to wifi, when I do have a connection. To solve this problem, I have been turning off the phone, and then pulling out the battery. This seems to work, it just seems tedious to keep doing so.Then I thought maybe I should upgrade the operating system. I can't seem to find this on the BB desktop manager.

I've had my phone since November and I'm not really sure which software I have on it, but I know its started "hanging" a lot. I will clear the log, pull the battery and all of that but it still hangs and it's started just dropping calls.Will upgrading the software take care of that? Also, how can I tell which software I already have and where do I find the update?

So im using my new 9700 i just upgrade the OS to 5.0.405 but i have not upgraded the Blavkberry Mesnger. I am currently using ver. 4.7 but i do want to see what the new version 5.0 is like. when i click on the messenger i con i get the 'Updat Available:Get Link/Copy Link/cancel options. What im wondering is if i upgrade this way will it install a fresh install or will it simply add on to the existing version, i guess the concern here is if it will delete my contacts as well or will it preserve all my contacts. Ihave already created a back up but want to know other peoples experiences in upgrading.

I upgraded the device software for my BB 9700 At&t from 5.0 to 6.0. Shortly, thereafter I started seeing an App Error 200 reset on the device. I tried to reset but it doesn't boot up. What do I do?

The trackpad on my Bold 9700 stopped working last night. It scrolled but would not register being pressed. Followign advice elsewhere on this site, I downloaded the desktop manager and backed up the device, then installed a new operating system (version 6).
Now nothing on the BB is working. It is stuck on the terms and conditions screen that starts "This handheld device includes software that it proprietary and confidential to Research In Motion Limited. . ." I can see there is a blue arrow at the bottom, implying I need to scroll down and accept the terms and conditions, but as none of the keyboard is responding, I can't do this.

I currently have an SMS app called Crunchsms. Anyway, got a notification today that an upgrade was available (v2.8 > v2.9). Upgraded and it asked me to reboot, as per normal. Handset rebooted, put in my pin, and the home screen is frozen. Yet if I hold in the blackberry menu key, I can choose and select other destinations (i.e. WnW, Messages, Maps, etc).I can call my handset from another phone with no problems and can answer the calls ok.
I have been getting the little arrows in the top right corner of the phone, which leads me to believe the handset was downloading something, but its been like this for about 20 minutes now. Have rebooted again twice and have taken the battery out and replaced it, same end result.

Ever since upgrading to OS 6 about 2 weeks ago, my Bold 9700 loses memory at a rate of about 2 MB/hour. That means freezing and battery pulling twice a day. Today 3 times.There are no new apps since the upgrade.

I upgraded my Blackberry Bold 9700 to version 6 from version 5. Now I always get the message that I have low memory. I unstalled 50% of my apps and I still get the message. I even uninstalled App World and I still get the message. Is there a way to fix this? Or should I go back to version 5?

Since upgrading to 6.0 OS, the new browser keeps crashing (on the Bell network). It either doesn't nothing when I click on the icon, or it will load about 10% and crash. If I do a battery pull reboot, browser will work again for a short period, then randomly crash again.

After Upgrading my 9700 to OS 6 there has been serious memory issues with my device. I am always shot of memory on the device. I had to uninstall my GPS apps and many utility software.I feel the 512 MB onboard memory is too small to OS 6 which take up lots of space.

I'm about to update my 9700 software from .545 to the most current one. My BB is activated on my company's BES server. Will I need to re-activate BES services after the software upgrade or does the activation remain when I back up my device during the upgrade process ?

I upgraded my Bold 9700 to OS 6 and cannot configure my email addresses. My email addresses are listed and I have the option to verify the passwords but every time I enter the correct password I get a message that says "Sorry, unable to continue your session. Please log in again." The only options I have when dealing with my email addresses is to verify the password. I cannot add an account and I cannot delete an account. There is no option to edit. Essentially there are no options at all except to verify passwords. When I open the menu I get switch application, help and close. Nothing else.
