1) One time all my settings for my loud and vibrate reverted back to the defaults and I had to reconfigure them.
2) Today while in the calendar the screen went blank, the red message light came on, and it rebooted.
3) Sometimes emails and Blackberry messages just go into a pending state for several mins even when i have great 3g reception. sometimes rebooting, turning the wireless on and off or just waiting will resolve this.

I may reload the OS or try a diff version.

anyone else have these issues?

I've suggested this before in other posts from Berry peeps who have had issues with new OS'es. The first thing I would do, for every app that I use that isn't a native app in the OS, is find out from the original developer/publisher of the software if they guarantee that the app is compatible with the OS.

Then, for each app that I get a positive response that yes, it is compatible, I would load that app on the device and run a series of smoke tests. Try to hit on all of the basic functionality of the app. Then move on to the next app and repeat.

If I load an app onto the device where it is not known if is compatible, I would make a note of it. And if I start seeing issues after loading this app, I would remove it and see if any adverse behavior still persists.

I'm not saying you are but I sense that there are a number of people who make the assumption that all of their favorite apps will work on the new platforms. This is not a good assumption to make. I would proceed with caution, knowing that if something crops up, I would suspect a 3rd party app first, not necessarily the OS. This would be especially more probable in my opinion for people who restore/transfer a backup from a previous device (4.5 and below) to a 4.6 device.

Through a process of elimination, I would try to determine which app that might be. If the problem persists with no 3rd party apps on the device, then I might begin to suspect the OS and possibly experiment with previous versions.

My two cents.

I thought about that actually but my problems have been pretty intermittent but still more then normal for a blackberry.

Jivetalk is the one I use the most followed by facebook and google maps.

Yes, if you don't use your phone you will not have any problems with it!

Update the OS to .162 or .167 IMMEDIATELY. That cures a lot of woes for folks.

Reasonable minds would have to assume this was meant as a joke. No?

If it is an ATT Bold, would it not have come with .167?

[rambo47]

I don't know, but buying a new device, even one just released, does not mean you get the latest OS. Very often it's a couple of revisions behind the latest version.

Seriously?

The guy paid at least $300 for the thing... I think it's reasonable to expect it to work.

I agree with masonfoley that 3rd party apps are usually to blame

[richard371]

I have .167 and I got it free at the launch party. We are going to order a few hundred of these Bold's shortly for the firm so I am just mentioning some of the problems I am seeing. I am sure being a new device these things are to be expected.

I am going to stop leaving jivetalk running in the background and see if there is any improvement.

[seanp666]

I think the word is the .167 OS the Bold comes with is a beta version...The upgrade on AT&T wich is the multi language 2.58 or something like that is the newest .167 software and is better....try it out and see if its better

I had purchased an unlocked Bold a couple of months ago and all of your experiences happened to me and more. I would have my Bold in my pocket and out of the blue, the message light would come on and the phone would turn off, reboot, etc.

What worked for me was to go back to version .147 of the OS. It solved everyone of the issues I had. And so far, none of them have cropped back up.
