BB Bold :: 9900 And 9930 Crashing While Abroad?
May 23, 2011
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?

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.

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 just bought the 9900 and previously was using 9700.9700 is such a beauty i've got no problems with it ! until i've switched to 9900... the performance of 9900 is superb. However after like one day of usage. the text messages starts to go crazy. i couldn't scroll up and down for some SMS and after awhile i couldn't open text messages.

i am planning on unlocking a bold 9700 for use abroad in spain with a vodafone sim card. i understand the unlocking process, but my question is whether or not the phone, which is going to be unlocked from at&t, will have full 3g functionality on vodafone's network in europe. i have heard that phones will work in europe when unlocked, but not necessarily with european 3g if they have previously been locked to at&t.

I am currently on holiday in Thailand and some of the trip involves me travelling alone. Since I have been here I have no signal and cannot receive/make texts/calls. I was told by friends to turn off roaming when away in order to stop emails, facebook updates and the like coming through on my phone and therefore resulting in a large bill. I emailed my network provider Vodafone but they have responded by saying in order to receive/make texts/calls I have to have roaming switched on?! Is there any way of enabling texts/calls without having constant emails and facebook updates etc coming through? I don't understand why so many people would use Blackberry if you can't switch off these things and just use phone as standard like you can on all other makes of phone to my knowledge.

I am currently abroad in Austria and I am trying to set up internet on my blackberry bold. I have already bought a sim card with Orange AT and paid for an internet plan. However, I still can't get internet on my phone. Data services are on and the sim card is active. My phone is not locked.

I'm going abroad and would like help with trying to stop my BB from syncing with my email accounts while I'm away. I've asked around and all people can say is to delete the email accounts from my phone and then set them up again on my return. Is there another way of stopping them from syncing up and getting the emails downloaded?

I pay £40 for unlimited texts and internet and have 900 minutes, the price of my blackberry bolt-on is included in that price.I'm going on holiday next week, was wondering if using my bbm while abroad would mean extra roaming charges when I come back. I rang 02 and they '50/50' om it.Wondering if anyone can help?
Has anyone used bbm while abroad? Did your network charge extra?Nobody seems to have a solid answer,Also whats the alternative if you are charged? Will bbm still work if i use a local sim card while on holiday?

I will be going on vacation and to avoid the ridiculous roaming data charges, was wondering how I can connect to BIS over wifi? I have a BB data plan with my carrier (Rogers). I just want to be able to receive e-mails and use BBM when I'm connected via wifi while I'm away. I'm guessing that if I set "Data Services" to On and "While Roaming" to Off, under Mobile Network Options, this would NOT work, correct? Or am I mistaken?

I've seen some fixes for this error on other OS versions, but none specifically for 7.0 on the Blackberry Bold 9930. I was trying to download My Verizon Mobile and got this error.

I routinely back up my 9930 on my Mac, but tonight I kept receiving the error message,"BlackBerry desktop software failed to backup your BlackBerry device. The device was disconnected. Reconnect your device and try again." So I did . . . three times. Same message each time. I downloaded the BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac again, even though it said I had the latest version already installed. I tried the backup once more; same error message. Has the software changed versions or updated? What should I do to correct this?

I can't get my 9930 acces to the BIS, it doesn't get the Host Routing Table. I already contacted my carrier and their solutions don't work (like what the call the 'provisionning' etc) When I put my sim card in a friend's BackBerry it works very well (BBM, the browser.) but it doesn't with mine!

I have the Blackberry Bold 9930 with Verizon - love the phone, but the emails often don't go through the first time and I have to hit resend once, twice or three times. This doesn't happen every time, but at least 3 or 4 times a day. Is this a known problem with Blackberry or do I have to contact Verizon? Nothing has changed since I bought this new phone, such as where I use it, the carrier, etc. I have pulled the battery numerous times to see if that solved the problem, but it continues to happen regularly.

I live outside the US and own a Blackberry Bold 9700 which has Blackberry Enterprise Service; I recently purchased a Bold 9930 unlocked from verizon in the US and wish to use it instead of my old 9700. How can I go about switching the Blackberry service from my old phone to my new 9930?
I am able to make calls with the 9930 but have been unable to activate the Enterprise service on it. I have tried using the desktop software to switch devices but that seems to have only transfered the data from my old phone to the new one.

I bought my BBB 9930 several months ago, today my phone did not start. I tried everything, taking battery out for about an hour, direct connect to PC etc..Every 20 seconds the blackberry logo and bottom bar will slightly light up (faded low low light) and disappear right away then 2 seconds later the red light will turn on and off and then the same thing will happen again 20 seconds later into a loop.

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
When I go into the SIM card option it says:
SIM: Disabled
Network: Disabled
Network Subset: Disabled
Service Provider: Disabled
Corporate: Disabled
how to get my SIM card to work in my phone, by the way the SIM card works in another blackberry phone so it might not be the SIM card.

I am kind of concerned about the lack of App space I have on my new 9930. I have a some apps (facebook, twitter, poynt, BB news, BofA, evernote, wikitude, scoremobile, google maps, BBmaps, IMO, Bridge, SayIt and maybe a couple of other small ones) but before this last upgrade to OS 7.1 I was always around 200MB left, which still isnt great but its better than what I have now after the upgrade which is 140MB. Does anyone else have this problem? Its great that they increased the internal storage to 8GB but that does no good when you cant use it for apps, and besides I have a 32GB SD card in it so I dont need that 8GB for media storage. Is there anyway to increase the amount of storage without deleting the apps i have? I have these apps because I use them. I had the same apps on my 9650 and actually had more room 250MB or so.
