Does this build have the mic issues for AT&T??
Someone please let me know! Thanks.
duane534 Jul 23, 2012 at 3:11 pm
The mic issue persists.
TheEliteOne Jul 23, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Thanks for letting me know.
igotberryfever Jul 23, 2012 at 7:50 pm
No it does not.
duane534 Jul 24, 2012 at 6:52 pm
You got it to work?
Mr_Ricky_66 Sep 20, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Yes it does, full force MIC problem with ATT bolds (I can personally attest, i'm back to .391...AGAIN :(
mmcpher Jul 23, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Ok, I will go first -- anyone know if the ATT mic bug is still active in this release? Its torture to download these upgrades, see real performance improvements only to have the mic cut in and out on calls.
duane534 Jul 23, 2012 at 3:12 pm
The mic issue persists.
igotberryfever Jul 23, 2012 at 7:51 pm
Does not.
Mr_Ricky_66 Sep 20, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Ok dude, congrats on having the only ATT blackberry bold that doesnt have the mic issue with this (and many other OS's) For me this OS screws up my mic (and many others except you)
poonsaloon Jul 23, 2012 at 1:53 pm
Hey guys,
not too sure if I'm doing something wrong but after downloading and installing the OS on my comp like I normally do, I can't seem to get it going through Apploader.
Here's what I've done:
Program files>Common Files>RIM>Delete Vendor file>Apploader>Only thing that shows up are my list of applications
Please advise.
Thanks!!!

Hey,
there are now 2 places on ur computer u need to delete the vendor files. U got the first one right. The second: From the folder options, under the view tab, choose the "Show hidden files, folders & drives". Apply and close. Then go through "my computer" to "your particular user" then u'll see "app data" enter and click on "roaming" and go into "research in motion" folder then "blackberry" and then "loader XML". U'll see the vendor file, delete and close all folders. Ur good to go. U can either choose to upgrade ur OS through the BDM or the app loader.
Cheers !
Like what you do. If you don't, change it !

They need to bring updates that sort the life of batterys on heavy use I struggle get day with 3 batterys running 9900/7.1.0.342 t mobile uk any idead shocking how fast battery drains anyone can help with battery ideas please feel free ad me pin:29401EDD thanks
jhrain Jul 23, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Just like TheEliteOne and mmcpher, I'm wondering if this has cleared the MIC bug for AT&T 9900 users. The fact we haven't even seen a 7.1 version from AT&T is rediculous.
I may download and wait to see what others have to say.
duane534 Jul 23, 2012 at 3:12 pm
The mic issue persists.
sgabriel0114 Aug 2, 2012 at 1:22 pm
I have to agree. It's ridiculous every other provider has put out the new 7.1 but ATT has yet to do anything.
Mr_Ricky_66 Sep 20, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Mic issue continues on this one. Already tried it
Matt J Jul 23, 2012 at 2:42 pm
What's the battery life like? LOL!
mange1984 Jul 23, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Let me know when you do battery on 9900 is stupid hardly mobile lol
duane534 Jul 23, 2012 at 3:13 pm
That's an exaggeration. The 1.2 GHZ, touch-sensitive, BlackBerry 7.1 9900 doesn't have the battery life of the 624 MHZ, no touch, OS 5 Bold 9650, but it's not Android bad. LOL
igotberryfever Jul 23, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Mic is fine for AT&T!!!! I am using the bold 9900 and no mic problem
j10too Jul 23, 2012 at 9:52 pm
When the hell is AT & T going to let us get into this century. Can someone who has any connections with them please go smack them upside their heads to get us up to date with the OS.

reciyrseraphim Aug 1, 2012 at 5:25 am
I'm having a problem when shifting the network to 3G? is it a software bug or our network problem?
segs2k Aug 7, 2012 at 4:34 am
