Recently I upgraded my blackberry bold 9700 from os5 to os6. The device is not functioning properly. Even if there is not additional application in the device it hangs frequently.Many people have shared in their post regarding this issue. It says we first have to wipe the device and install os5. But when I installing os on my device it does not give me an option of os5. It says new update available os6.Where can I find os5?
I accidently upgraded my phone to os 6.0, because I thought I was upgrading blackberry software for my pc, but in the process it changed my phone os to something else because it was still connected with usb cable to my pc. I personally enjoyed the simplicity of os 5.0 and would be very happy if someone could explain how I can downgrade it back to os 5.0 from os 6.0. I did call T-Mobile and they could not help me, so if you know something I should do.
I have just upgraded my 9700 to OS 6 but all the functions (apps) work with jerks and its not smooth. Can this be rectified and if not how to go back to OS 5?
I have unknowingly upgraded by BB9700 software from OS 5 to OS 6 and it has screwed up my phone entirely..Its soooo slow and keeps hanging....Even the device memory is Low (14 mb) post upgrade...I wanna revert to OS 5....I am using a MAC (v 10.6.8) and have researchd the net and the various forums but could not find any solutions for MAC users....I am using the BB desktop software and thats where i upgraded the OS....Also how does one free up the device memory? I keep deleting old mails / pics / msgs / cache / history / media files etc....Is there any other way to free up device memory? Also how does one save downloaded applications from BB App world to media card instead of device memory?
I upgraded my phone with the newer software (available from the Sticky above) and am hating it. My "send/share" feature doesn't work on pics, the phone has been running slow, internet has been touchy, and a whole host of other dislikes. Can I DOWNGRADE my software? Or am I stuck?
I was getting drops out on calls with 862 so I decided to back to 714 and as usual I dont back up my data as it always does it automatically during the downgrade or upgrade process.This time, I had my email accounts restored but not the actual emails. My contacts have been lost, but the apps and themes are still there.
So I tried restoring my contacts from a backup that I took on the 27th of August but here is the message I get when I try to do the Restoration was an error restoring.There could have been a problem with the device or connection during the restore. Verify that the dvice is turned on and connected.I tried restarting my computer and doing a battery pull but no luck and it is the same cable and port I always use...
I just had to have my 9700 Bold replaced due to random rebooting, then it would not fully reboot. I had BBM 5.0 on it. I just got my replacement (it's running OS 5) and it has BBM 4.7 on it. I downloaded & installed BBM 5.0 but while in my app loader to load some apps I see that 5.0 does not show up (as it did on my last 9700) and it wants to downgrade 4.7 so I assume it means it wants to get rid of 5.0 & go to 4.7.will 5.0 work on my employee's 8320's?
I wonder if there's any way to downgrade my BB. The version I use is '6.0 Bundle 1202 (v6.0.0.344, Platform 6.6.0.50)'. I have had serious problems with this version, so want to downgrade it. One of the problems is that I can't type Korean in this version (I can read it, but can't type it). how to downgrade it to version 5 or to make the device able to type Korean?
I recently was forced to do the upgrade to 6.0 on my bold 9700. I now lost the ability to reply all in texting. This is a feature I use a lot. I have tried calling t-mobile and the suggestion was to downgrade to 5.0OS but they don't have the software. I have tried finding it on blackberry's website and still no luck. I'm seriously on the verge of leaving blackberry and t-mobile since neither of them are helping in getting this resolved. The iphone has this feature and maybe its time I move on.
i downloaded the 6.0 update about a month ago, and it blows. its annoying, themes dont work on it, sucks to use because hitting left twice quickly makes you go back so when youre copying text you need to do it very slowly, and is just not what i expect of an "update". So how do i downgrade?? Is there a way i can do it from my phone?? When i go to update it says up to date and nothing else is there.
blackberry to OS6 but don't like it and would like to get it back on OS5 but don't know how to do it without a computer. I do have unlimited data so I don't have to worry about the amount of data when downloading the. how to get used to OS5 because it makes my device a lot slower than when it was on OS5 so if there is any possible way at all
I need to do this for both my bold and curve as since latest software they fail to connect to my in car bluetooth handsfree - I know for a fact its the software as the car has been checked and only problems since latest upgragde.
So about a month or so ago, I did the OS 6 upgrade, just to keep my software up to day. That was the worst idea ive ever had. I absolutely HATE EVERYTHING about OS 6. I couldn't name one thing i like about it. Not to mention it causes my phone to constantly freeze, it drains my battery quickly, and it runs so slowly. Is there any possible way to finally get rid of this terrible upgrade and go back to what I had? I cant take it anymore!
I inadvertently upgraded my software on desktop and device to 6.0 from 5.0.1 on my work BB. I was able to revert to version 5.0.1 for BB desktop software, but am looking for assistance on how to downgrade/revert to version 5.0 on the device.
I have update software bold 9780 to 6.0.0.863 and now I can't opened excel,words,ppt,how can I back to previous os 6.0 bundle 2115?or what can I do to opened excel,etc again?
i got the os 6.0.0.448 install on my 9700 a couple of months now. since then ive been experiencing alot of memort leaks....my phone goes from 27.1MB-6.2MB in less than 4 hours! its so frustrating when i have to constantly keep rebooting my phone...i dont have much apps install either! i tried upgrading.. i download the os that i wanted followed the instructions and when i click finish for the update to start, i get a command saying that my os was successfully updated but its not...still the same.
I got a new BB 9700 Bold yesterday and having problems with setting up the sync for the calendar and the contacts which are on my outlook. My hotmail email accounts are working okay. The outlook is on my PC and is the front face for my hotmail accounts.
When I go in to the BB Desktop device manager - version 5.0.1 (latest version) , I go in to the configure option on the left and it lets me click on calendar> then I select outlook and it then lets me select 'finish'. However at this stage an error box flashes up saying 'no available message stores'. In addition when I check the wifi config on the calendar and contacts icons on the BB device it will not let me select yes on the wireless connection for them.
I have a BB Bold 2 (9700). The Media Card slot wont lock down the card and keeps springing it out. If i keep the card pressed down it works but wont lock down.
I have Outlook 2007 on my desktop computer and use BT as a service provider and for my email, my Blackberry supplier is Vodafone and I use BIS.I have noticed that if my Blackberry receives an email first I don't get the same email delivered to my desktop. If my desktop gets an email first then the same email will be delivered to my Blackberry. I was happily deleting emails from my Blackberry thinking I would have them all on my desktop but I now find I have to check what emails I have on each before I delete anything. Is this an issue that anyone has come acrosss before and how do I resolve it apart from synching the Blackberry and desktop?I'm often away from the desktop which is why I bought the Blackberry in the first place.
I've owned my 9700 for nearly 2 months now and I'm still not used to the keyboard. I prefer my 8310's spaced out keys. has anybody replaced the 9700 keyboard with the Atlas keyboard?
I have a problem with my Blackberry and would be grateful if anyone knows what the problem is.I have only my Blackberry 9700 bold for 1 month or so.I am unable to lock my keypad by using the lock key on top of the phone. This has happened before but after charging my phone it started to work again. I have turned my phone on and off, tried charging it and the button still doesn't work. Although the keypad will lock when I put it into the leather case.Do you think it is a problem with my blackberry and I should return it? Or is this a problem people have had before and if so, how do I fix it?
My Bold is stuck on the boot screen (at about 75%). I've tried many battery pulls with and without the SIM and it keeps doing the same thing. I've searched what I think are all the threads on here relating to this, but I'm still stuck. I'm able to connect to the device if I run Loader.exe like a user suggested, but I don't know how/where to get software to load onto the device. All the places I've searched for an OS says I need to go into the device to find information about it. Well, I can't get into the device to do that. So, how do I know what OS to download and install? I really want to exhaust all possibilities before I have to completely wipe the device because I don't have a current backup. But, even if I wipe the device, I'm going to need to download an OS which I can't do now.
First two locked up constantly and rebooted. All I did was:
Set up Yahoo Mail Download Google Maps, Point, Movies Download One Theme - 18 Icon BlackBerry 9700 Sync with Yahoo Contacts Sync with Lotus Notes Calendar Only. Back Up WiFi connection to home router Bluetooth headset
I have recently purchased this 9700 (3 weeks ago) and am generally very pleased with the device. BUT If I leave the BB 9700 connected overnight to the computers USB Port for charging, and, obviously, after a few hours the computer will go to sleep, thus turning off the power to the USB port In the morning I find that the BB is: Off and will not turn on, unless it is power reset. In other words I have to open up the back and pull the battery for a second then after It is put back in the red light will display nevertheless it will turn on and be fine once it boots back up. There are no other indications or problems. I notice that other people have similar complaints with their BB's.
The other day I walked into a Walmart that had a display of cell phones. There was the 9700 there. I have the 9000. I was really looking forward to upgrading to the 9700, but now I don't know. It's LIKE REALLY small. I love the size of my 9000, and I'm afraid I'm going to have times typing on the 9700 keyboard now.
