BB Bold :: 9900/9930 Sleep Mode Not Working In Holster?
Apr 25, 2011
If I use the holster that came with my 9930, it goes into sleep mode like it is supposed to, but I don't like that holster. It's too difficult to removeļ»æ the BB from those holsters, when you grab it to slide it out, you also push the volume up key.I prefer the face-in spring loaded belt holster like I used with my Bold 9650. I am using ones designed for the Bold 9000 and they fit, but the holster sleep mode doesn't work. I tested the holsters with an old 9000 and they do work correctly, but no luck with the 9930 - as if the magnets are in a different location.
I've been using my Torch for 6 months now, and it has been working fine with the Holster (its a flip case) Everytime I close, it will auto go to sleep mode. However, since last week, the phone doesn't go to sleep when I close the flip case. I think it doesnt detect the magnet anymore. I check the Holster and the magnet is still there. I use another magnet to run it over the Torch but the phone just doesn't go to sleep mode. I've pulled the battery out and even tried with other casing, it just doesn't work anymore.
Just upgaraded from my old Pearl to 8520 OS 5 and as always ordered a now holster to keep it safe in. I have spent all last night trying to find the option of AUTO SLEEP / key lock when in holster but to no sign of option any ideas or is it now an APP i need to buy? very lost and dissapointed if so can any one help thanks.using side button to lock key pad but was very happy with it locking when put away.
All of my other blackberrys have come out of sleep mode when removed from the blackberry proximity holster. My brand new 9810 does not. It comes out with the blank (sleep) screen and I have to click one of the buttons to wake it up.
I have had my phone for over a year with the OEM holster and it would put my phone to sleep, however for the last 2 days when i put the phone in, nothing happens...am i missing a setting or is this probably a hardware issue and i am then SOL
I have a BB9900 and in the beginning it was able to respond and go into sleep mode when its place inside the holster. However, recently it started to stop responding to holster.
I'm a proud owner of a new Bold 9900 bought today. However, just now i was trying the Holster and it doesnt work. I believe the magnet is placed abit too low. As when I tried my phone placement outside the holster it seems to be able to auto lock if i placed it abit lower. Is there any way to get the holster replace?
Last year my Verizon 9930 and this year my wife's ATT 9900 stopped working after a few days of use overseas. Under both circumstances the phones were perfectly fine for the first few days after which the keyboards became unresponsive (delayed response, not being able to unlock, reboots). Battery pulls did not change anything. Interestingly you could see the email count going up so the phones were connecting. 24 hours after retuning to the US both phones worked as if nothing happened.
from the link below and from the comparisons in the RIM website, I had the impression the 9930 only added CDMA to the 9900. I then decided to purchase a 9930 to be safe, but am having difficulties connecting it to my Brazilian phone provider (the data does not work, but voice is good). confirm that the 9930 really only adds CDMA technology to the 9900 and should be working with my Brazilian GSM provider?
Blackberry Bold 9900/9930, which cost around £500 only has a **bleep** JM1 1230ah battery.New Curve 9920/9930, which cost around £150 has a mega JS1 1450ah batterry.Question, how can RIM explain how a great phones is ruined by a **bleep** battery, why do we have to use aftermarket batteries to get through the day.If the bew CEO is reading this SORT IT OUT!
Since updating to 5.0.0.484 on my Sprint 9630, my individual ringtones for SMS aren't working anymore. Also the top right button to put my phone in "sleep" mode, to concerve battery doesn't work either. Any help? Or ideas to solve this.
I found out that when I try to dial something in the "Phone" section (Phone icon), there is a sound - how do I disable it?Also I use a pre-paid package, when I check my fone balance, there is always a network notification sound that is REALLY loud (!) and there is absolutely no way to reduce the volume or make it silence.I work at office and I want to silence the key tone when dialing in Phone section, along as reduce sound or silence the network notification sound when check balance.Atm the only way is to switch to Silence or Alerts Off modes.
I have a BB Bold 9930 with OS v7.1.0.163 and I cannot find Battery Saving Mode under Device options. I was told that I needed to update my device software to a more recent build, after around .3xx, not sure which. But when I try to update my device software through the BlackBerry webpage or the Desktop Manager, they are both telling me that my device software is up to date. How can I update my device software to a more recent build on OS 7.1?

I have a verizon bold 9930 that I received last week, no third party apps besides what was preloaded on the phone. Yesterday, I noticed that when I answer phone calls I cannot hear the other person unless I put the phone into speakerphone mode. Is this a hardware issue?
I was updating my Blackberry Bold 9780 using Deskop Software when my computer went into sleep mode (forgot to change the settings). So when I woke it up, "app error 200" occurred on my bb screen and I had to reset it and stop the update. Now it won't turn on. I tried the battery pull but nothing changed. The progress bar on the welcome screen goes almost until its end and stops, after some time the same error screen appears.
I just ran the latest updates and having all sorts of issues. battery life very poor and it won't wake up from standby/ sleep mode. Looks like there might be more bugs in this latest update. I had issues before with the email setup application which resulted in a replacement handset! I have to keep pulling the battery to reset it!!!
I just received a brand new blackberry 9930 and it is not working with the SIM card I have in the phone. I live in Jamaica and I am using a Digicel SIM card. The original carrier of the phone is Sprint. The phone is unlocked and I have the MSL code and I inserted it and the phone rebooted and nothing changed.What I see on the main screen of the phone is "SOS" in the top right-hand corner and sometimes "searching for GSM" comes up and then it goes back to SOS and if I try to dial a number it starts to say "the call could not be connected, try again".When I go into the "Mobile Network" option it says
Data Services: On While roaming: On Mobile Network: DIGICEL Network Selection Mode: Automatic Network Technology: GSM/UMTS Network Mode: 3G & 2G
With my old BB Bold, I had my phone set to vibrate for messages and phone calls when in the holster. When out of the holster, I had the phone ringing with my personal ring tones while everything else vibrated.
I cannot figure out how to do the same with my new Curve 9900.
I bought a 9930 non-camera phone however Airtel data services are not working. Airtel says, it's a technical glitch in the server and they have escalated the issue to RIM with no definite ETR. I have paid a huge amount for the phone and unable to use it.
I have a blackberry bold 9930 which I brought from USA. I am on T-Mobile in the UK. I have been using the messenger and all other services for around 4 months now and suddenly my messenger has stopped working. I can use whatsapp and facebook but my messenger wont show any updates or let me send a message or recieve a message. Before this problem started I installed the new update for the new blackblerry messenger which carries customisations such as bubble colours and the like. It worked fine for a few days then suddenly this Friday it stopped working after experiencing some heavy lags.The phone is on BOLD 9930 on 7.1 OS bundle 457 (v7.1.0.163, Platform 5.1.0.137) which is the latest update
Last week Verizon had an interuption in e-mail service.I received a notification on my Blackberry that I needed to verify my Password.I tried, but recevied a message saying email setup application is not available.I have tried numerous times since then to no avail.I even tried rebooting my phone. I'm not sure if it is a Blackberry issue or a Verizon issue.
My Bold 9930 internet service stopped working I updated the phone and tried all possibilities with my network provider and still its not working on my phone.
About a week or so ago, the handset stopped working on phone calls on my Verizon 9930. I would have to put the phone on speaker in order to hear the person on the other end. I just updated to the latest OS that was released yesterday (7.1.0.580) and the problem is still there. Can't remember what triggered the handset to stop working, as I didn't do anything different to the phone, or drop it, etc. I should add whether receiving or making the call, it doesn't work either way. Also I've tried soft pulls (alt + upper case + del) but not a battery pull. Figured the OS update worked the same as a battery pull.
I'm using Verizon 9930 unlocked set seem everything is working fine but the BIS is not working. I did register the Host Routing Table but nothing happen and I did change the APN as well.
I previously had a BB Curve. I store a lot of information in the notes portion of my contacts. With the Curve I could search for items stored in notes and it would display any contact that contained the search criteria. I currently have a BB Bold 9930. When I do the same type of search it doesn't retrieve the contact. I spent a lot of time and energy to store needed information for quick reference and now it is useless.
I have an issue with the Blackberry Bold 9900, I notice that the mobile network antenna goes to SOS when I set the Network mode in 3G and 2G. And its only working when I left the the network configured in 2G only. I really need the 3G network working...
