BB Bold 9700 :: Update OS OTA While Roaming International?
Jan 5, 2010
Ever since the official release of OS .405 for AT&T, I've been trying to get it via OTA unsuccessfully. I have an AT&T account but I've been in New Zealand for a few weeks now. I have unlimited international data (the old plan they don't offer anymore) but I was thinking maybe there was something with roaming on the networks down here that's prohibiting me from downloading it. Does anyone know if it should work anyway or will I have to just wait until I'm back in the US?

I was traveling in Germany and Italy, and I made sure to set "Data Services While Roaming" to "Off." However, I still did incur data roaming charges. They are really small-- like 15KB/day, but it's nonetheless annoying that my Blackberry Bold 9700 is using data even though I turned it off. I use AT&T. Does anyone know why?

I travelled to Colombia recently and in general, had my phone either turned off, or on airplane mode the entire trip. I only used it for one five minute phone call and to listen to music for about five hours accumulated. I was there for about 8 days.
I was told to put the phone on airplane mode, so as to avoid any roaming charges, as my fellow travel companions (who all also owned iPhones), said "that way nothing comes through. No wi-fi, messages, nothing".
Info:iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

I know this thread is a year old, but I have to drag it up again as it seems Motorola haven't dealt with this problem yet. I have owned a Defy since a few weeks. I have a German vodafone contract which gives me a data roaming flatrate for several countries including Italy, where I am a lot of the time. And this roaming warning is driving me insane!! It pops up about 50 times a day (I live in an area with weak connection, so my phone loses the network sometimes, but finds it again after a few seconds, and up pops this warning), turns the screen on, drains the battery. It also pops up continually while I am driving and using the phone as a navigator, so I have to continually check "yes" so I can see the screen again, which can be pretty dangerous if you are driving on winding mountain roads...

I have a BB 9700 based in Hong Kong using 3 (three.com.hk) synchronising with Blackberry Professional installed on our Exchagne 2003 server. I frequently travel to Europe where I have a UK VodaFone contract too. I want to be able to remove the HK SIM from my BB and use the UK chip when in Europe but seem to be having problems.

I have just received a "Blackberry Bold 9700 Unlocked International Version" which i purchased from Amazon.Com. "This is supposed to be a new unbranded unit".
The installed software version is 5.0.0.351 with platform 5.1.0.98 and branding version 1.0.160.529q.I have read in this forum that there is a later version of the os available yet when I utilized the BB desktop software updater, it say that the latest version is installed. Is this correct?
I also have other issues with applications. I am unable to download and install the "BlackBerry APP World"; I get a message, " Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry App World"
"Google talk" give an error messag: " Service not enabled for this hand held" "Blackberry maps" are not loaded on the handset.Setup wizard does not give me the option to set up my personal e-mail only enterprise e-mail.I am able to browse and send and receive MMS & SMS messages.
Kindly advise as to ho to resolve these issues and whether there is a more current software version for the handset, and if so: how do I update it.

i have a blackberry originally bought from the UK from a store with no contract so it was never registered in the UK. I brought it back to canada and got it unlocked and now am using it on FIDO, no problems with data everythings good.I can't seem to add any international contacts on BBM, well thats a guess, I've only tried adding UK pins and it just stays in pending and the other contact gets nothing, they try adding me and it stays in pending while i get nothing. I can add all canadian pins no problem? I called FIDO they said there is no block on my account of any sorts so it must be on RIMS side, i called rim they tried charging me 49$ to "look into the problem", I dont have 49$ to blow, so is there any other solutions or anything before i am forced to pay it?

I actually want my widgets to update WHILE I am roaming. Usually people don't want their widgets to update while roaming, because data fees abroad are very expensive. However, the provider I use,'Telfort', uses the 'KPN' network to serve their clients. Because of that, my Nokia thinks I am roaming, but in reality, I am not.
Because of this, my background widgets stop updating their selves after a period of time, and I have to press 'content to online mode' a few times everyday, which is annoying.
how I can get my widgets to keep automatically updating while roaming ?

Plugged my 9700 into desktop manager today & was prompted to update software, which I did. Device now at platform 5.1.0.175, app version: 5.0.0.862 on Vodafone UK. I've noticed that the 'wireless update' option is no longer there.

Got my new 9900 a couple of weeks ago, besides the horrible battery life, When roaming, the data transfer rate (on 3G or 2G) deteriorates to a halt. Takes several minutes to download a web page. It even looses its connectivity to BBM at times. None of these issues occur when I am at home country. I am wondering if anyone else experiences similar issue and if there is any solution to the problem. The primary reason to have a BB is for its always ON reliability which unfortunately have been lacking on the "NOT SO READY FOR PRIME TIME" 9900 device.

I can browse internet over WiFi while roaming with my data services set to "On" , "off while roaming" but I have been unable to access email. I was told that this is the way blackberries work - that you must turn on data while roaming and pay the charges if you want to access email. My old Curve didn't work that way so I find it hard to believe that my Bold 9900 does work that way. With my old Curve I simply had to connect to WiFi and voila my emails would come through without adjusting any other settings?

Spanish Vodafone changed my BB 3 times, 2 9800 and now I have the 9900 but the follwing problem is not solved:When outside of Spain, BBM and emails should work with a WiFi connection, with data roaming disabled. It does not work on the above mentioned BB`s. Wifi itself works fine abroad and there are no problems in Spain. If I change the sim card into my Storm 2, all works fine abroad.

I purchased a second hand BlackBerry Bold 9700, i wanted to upgrade the software to OS 6. I downloaded the Required Software (OS 6) from T-Mobile UK "Provider" and installed it on my pc, then i opened the Blackberry Desktop Software, "It Should Show that there is a new update for the phone software". but the problem that i am suffering from it gives me a messege that there is no software available. the current device software is App Version : 5.0.0.344 (541), and what i downloaded from the provider (T-Mobile UK) is App Version 6.0.0.570. I alsow Tried to download from many providers like AT&T, SK-Telecom, T-Mobile UK. i tried removing them all from my pc and instaling them one by one, but still no progress. i followed all the instructions on how to remove the file named "Vendor" from the path (C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesResearch In MotionAppLoader). if i removed this file it should show me that there is an update, but still no hope i gives the same messege that there is not software update available.
i tried another methode by using a software called BBsak. And it askes me to set a password then i Wiped the device the phone screen turns white like a system error, i go back to (C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesResearch In MotionAppLoader) to the file "Loader" and execute it, it show that every thing is fine and the software is being installed is 5.0.0.344 (541) even though i was installing (6.0.0.570 T-Mobile UK).

I have got several email that say I can update my Blackberry Bold 9700 to the new OS 6. I currently have v5.0.0.602. I use at&t as my service provider. To update I hook up my Blackberry to my PC and go to the update page on the Blackberry website. I click on the check for updates button on the website. It searches for about 30 seconds and says that I have no updates available. I really want this update so why it says I don't have updates when I am not up to date.

With all the problems we are having with AppWorld and the update tip coming from crackberry. You would think we would have some kind of an explanation or at least tell the members who are having issues (there are many) what is going on and have they talked to rim about this problem..

while i was hoping for the new os software .586 to be available through OTA i didnt mind using the comp & dm as well. It was actually pretty easy just plug and play & follow directions sorta thing, and it only took less than 30mins. So far id say the new software is ok, it seems a bit faster & for most people i say the 3G is good but i guess it depends where your at.
Now for the few things that are annoying me haha... If there is a way or option to fix these please help.
1. There is no more Standby Mode (top right button/mute button)? People are saying the Lock button (top left) is also now the new standymode. So this a 2 in 1 sort of thing? Now what can i do with my top right button? id like to use it for something...
2. Ok this is really annoying me. Whats the point of having a password when it doesnt work when you Lock the phone? like the above for example, i lock the phone & it directly goes to a black screen (standby mode?) and if i want to unlock it the following says: keypad is locked. press the lock button to unlock seriously annoying, now anyone can get into my phone. The weird thing is that if you lock it, black screen shows, then wait a few mins and the password feature is now working. Basically this password feature should be working right away once we lock it...
3. This is a litte bit annoying or maybe its just one of those things i gotta get used to if there isnt an option to fix it. But another thing i noticed is that when someone is calling my phone it now shows their number as well w/ the name. I liked it when it just showed the name, no need to show the number with it...
4. The app "my account" for t-mobile which lets you check your minutes, check your bill, update stuff, etc is no longer working? its been down even when i had the previous software .330 Whats up with that?! its a very usefull/helpfull app & hopefully it will start working again.
