So if you're using one of those two SIMs you get 'No Service'

If you unlock either and use a Fido Or Rogers, you will fall back to Edge/2G.
You'll be fine.

So with an unlocked bell or telus bold 9700, you can use fido's 2g/3g?:)

Should I send it back to Rogers and get a refurbed one or tough it out. People on CB are experiencing some of the problems im getting as well.

Take it back, i was told you can return or exchange within 15 days of upgrade

how do i find out what series sim card i have?

JordanLee

I think its the 9-12th digits on your sim card.
Aka as the 3rd line of 4 digit series of numbers me thinks.

I took some time to google up the AT&T/Rogers/Fido Sim card thingy...

**keep in mind this is for the bb9000**

apparently, an easy fix is to flash the att bold with the rogers fw, and you're all set!

so if the att 9700 has the same problems, there might be a solution for it.

Found this thread. http://forums.crackberry.com/f146/q-...9700-a-365383/

says there is no way to make it a complete rogers phone even if you flash it with a rogers fw

I called in to rogers explained I had 1 dead pixel, mushy menu button, and slanted trackpad. And they said np for a brand new replacement. Keep in mind I bought this thing off a guy on craigslist who HUPed. I just told them the IMEI and explained the problems and that was it. What I thought was odd was that he never asked about the talk time and or data usage. When I asked if it was a refurb or a new unit, he told me it'd be new since it was within 30 days. Made me smile even more.

I believe they only ask about the life time when you want to refund it.

Anyone having Facebook problems?

Mine seems to have a slow or bad connection with it.

Status updates and photo uploads are not instant.

50% of the time I will get the message "A connection cannot be established to the facebook server"

^happened to me yesterday but its working correctly now

may be the firewall set permissions to allow

TypeRNammer

11-24-2009 08:17 PM

Okay sounds good, do you know how I can access the permissions? Thanks in advance :)

menu > options > applications > add-ons > menu key on facebook > edit defailt permissions

its usually on custom permissions change it to Allow

TypeRNammer

11-24-2009 08:36 PM

Thanks, let's hope that fixes the problem ^^

Last thing I'm trying to figure out is why my emails aren't being pushed. Usually I would send my service books and email would work fine for an hour then after that I receive no emails on my phone.

I doubt the facebook problems will go away, even after changing all permissions to allow. ever since fw 5.0 was released, it's been nothing but sluggish slow to load and send everything you do on the app. after doing some research, it seems it's a case of a poorly programmed app. I remember when I was in fw 4.6, facebook ran mighty smooth.

don't know if it's isolated to the 9700 or if any other new berrys with 5.0 running on them have the same problem.

Cause even with my emails, i dont even receive them instantly. delay can be anywhere from 30 mins to not receiving it at all.

EDIT:

On my bold 1, i never had these problems, except for the flimsy OEM trackball LOL

I know my e-mails from hotmail/windows live generally take way longer to hit my phone than my gmail/telus/SFU emails, which come instantly.

Hotmail

Before it was instant with my Bold 1, but not with the bold 2 :(

Does the windows live search program work for anyone on their 9700?
