BB Bold :: 9900 How To Prevent ID Lockout
Oct 19, 2011
I just bought the Bold 9900 yesterday and after setting up to my liking, contacts, apps etc. getting to know the unit and (after some time for a novice like me,) when I plugged the device into my desktop manager, it asked me for the password to which i entered my BB ID but it is not accepting it. This is the third time I re-enter all my information, set up the device and it locks me out for 10 tries again and again then erases all my information! Frustrating and time consuming! Any one have suggestions to remedy this situation??? This seems to happen when activate and I lock my device when in the holster. I have the unlock code to access the home screen to which. Neither this screen unlock code nor my BB ID password will unlock the unit afterwards and I have go through the 10 tries then I loose all my settings and information, need to reset emails, reenter contacts and so on.

I got same temperature warning message. I hadn't used my iphone 4 all day, and when i got a call from a friend, after a few minutes of talk time, my call was dropped and had received the error message...INSIDE my house with thermostat set to 67 F ! I do notice that a spot on the lower left corner of the backside seemed warmer. I tried to call again, but got the same message in even less time. My phone is about 2-3 mo old, no damage of any kind. Another thing (possibly unrelated) a few days before the battery completely died. When i plugged the charger in and tried to make a call, the call would drop giving me a battery error while still plugged into external power! I have never had that experience with any other phone. I have powered the phone completely off to see if that helps. And changed settings like turning off location.

My child entered a false password on my Blackberry 10 times in a row and locked me out, but did not type "blackberry" to complete the reset. How can I undo this and get back to using my Blackberry?

I set the trace a pattern security system for the phone. Later when trying to do two things at once I got the pattern wrong five times. I then compounded the problem by getting the succeeding attempts wrong as well until the phone locked me out. Like many others it seems I set-up my gmail account without recording the pertinant details, gmail address and password, these are the requirements to unlock the phone. The official X10 user guide is no help on the subject. I have also been to various websites looking for advice and have found no information at all, apart from don't do it of course! I went to a phone shop and their advice was to use PC Companion to reset the phone but of course I need to mount the phone in order that the software sees it. I am resigned to resetting the phone as the solution as I am backed up but even if I reset I will still need the gmail info to enable all of the Google features. I know it is the result of being a dufus but it seems like a bit of a terminal cul-de-sac at the moment.

I've had issues with my lock screen. I have it set for finger print.....but every time I turn the screen on, it goes back to swipe. Odd thing is that in the settings, it still shows fingerprint. Am I missing something ? When I put it on pattern though, it has no issues , and always has the pattern every time I turn e screen on.

I have 3 mail accounts connected to my bb. Originally all posted to one folder messages folder in the message 'center' where all the sms etc go into (middle of the screen icon at the top) i am not sure what has started to happen but suddenly i then had 2 messages folders and now i have 3. They all go to the same place and sometimes contain the same message which just appears in all 3.
I think this started when i started configuring the sync of the deletion of the folders "folder reconciliation". how i can delete these additional folders as they are just a nuicense they mean very little as mail is randomly flowing into them.

I had recently downloaded and installed the new os 7.1.0.267 os from SK Telecom form the software download page of on blackberry site to my bold 9900. Upon doing that i was able to access the new mobile hot spot feature and even set it up for use after calling my service provider for the APN which is Lime Jamaica. I even tested it by using another phone which detected it. However sometime afterwards about 30 minutes to an hour later while listening to music my headset got pull out by mistake and upon putting it back in realized music wouldn't start playing back after pressing the side button. Unlocked the phone only to see the play icon highlighted in music player but nothing wouldn't register when clicked with trackpad or touch screen. plus got a message on the screen saying that device media player was busy, which continued for a while. Did a battery pull afterwards which fixed the problem. However a few hours later when i decided to show a friend the new feature and test it by connecting his phone, upon accessing the connections menu the mobile hot spot option was missing even in networks and connections. essentially it disappeared form the phone the only apps on the phone besides the default ones was wikitude and whatsapps. Even after a factory reset it didn't return. Did a clean wipe of the os and installed the os again upon which the hot spot option returned only to disappear again after about a few minutes at which time no extra apps was insatlled just the default ones. Have no idea whats causing this and whats worse the 7.1.0.267 download has been removed from the Sk Telecom link.

I dont seem to be able to DL OS 7.1 for my bold 9900, I am based in South Africa and use Vodacom as my SP.I tried to update my software over the air this week but it tells me my software is up to date, yet my phone tells me that my software is version 7.0 Bundle 2406.
Is 7.1 not available in SA or over the Vodacom network?
I really want to upgrade as some of the features on 7.1 are what I am looking for.

My wife was playing Angry Birds earlier today and an extremely graphic ad for BaDoink popped up.It advertised for you to "Download our First of all, since allowed on an Apple device? I purposely bought two iPhones and a new iPad because of the perceived safety with iOS. My children have been using the iPhones and iPad.I now have ZERO trust that it's safe to have them use the devices.Second, since I didn't see this occur, it appears that from what I did see that this was one of the "Ads" that pop up while you play Angry Birds. Why in the world would the creators of Angry Birds - a game played by children connected with their game?And third, how do I prevent this from ever happening again. I turned restrictions "On" after my wife showed me the ad. Is that good enough to prevent this?

I bought 9900 7 months ago and phone has 3 years warranty. After ı used phone 4 months, One night, before sleeping, I plugged it to charger and went to sleep.Morning my mobile was dead. I took out the battery and the reput it. only red indicator was blinking.
- I tried to reinstall BBOS 7 but phone was not connecting to desktop software.
- I tried bbsak it also couldnt connect
- I tried to install OS with application ( after deleting vendor.xml file) loader, but when it comes to middle it gives " JVM couldnt be loaded "
Then I putted it into its box and went to warranty service. Warranty service took it for a week. Then they called me and said, You have your phone dropped and thats why your phones "mainboard" and "processor" has been damaged. So, it will cost 50 dollars for fix.I said, I didint drop the phone and there isnt anything visually damaged on the phone(It is same as new phone), On the other hand phone has warranty, so why should ı pay 50 dollars? because you have dropped your phone and it makes it out of warranty.
Then I gave 50 dollars and waited for a week. while waiting I realized something. what kind of "mainboard and processor cost 50 dollars? Isnt it very cheap? even impossible.
anyway they called me and said that " we couldnt repair your phone and your phone is dead Now, I really dont know what to do, and dont want to live it like that. Somehow I have to access to blackberry or RIM and explain my situation.
BUT HOW? I live in Georgia, I am Turkish and there is no official blackberry service in this country, So What can I do ?

I purchased my bold 9900 directly from Rim in February, and I noticed thatit recently keeps turning on and off by itself, sporadically. Once it turnsback on, it will immediately turn back off, and restart the process atleast 2-3 times. This is a nuisance because it happens many times a day. I have tried turning it on/off with and without my sim card, but it isn't helping?

I have been using a blackberry bold 9900 since almost a year now. I have never faced any problem with it before. But since last 1 month, my device switches/turns off by itself. Sometimes it turns off while I am using it, and sometimes when i remove it from the cover(holster), i find that it is turned off. the auto on/off feature is not enabled. this problem was very rare earlier, but since last few days, it turns off many times a day. I have the latest software update and few days ago, i again re-installed the device software. But it did not help. Below are the details of my device?
Blackberry Bold 9900 (3G,Wi-Fi)
7.1 Bundle 1646 (v7.1.0.523, Platform 5.1.0.393)
Free Memory: 132554186
subscribed to BIS and have set up four email accounts.
