Default Option search typing not working

Please Login to Remove!

If I hit the "O" button from the home screen (application shortcuts), it opens the options list.
Normally, I'd just type what I'm looking for and it starts narrowing the search based on character input...until I activate the unit on my BES, where typing as before eliminates the list entirely.

This was also an issue with the Universal search on a few versions of OS6...and now apparently on OS"7". Works fine until I perform an Enterprise activation. I even deleted my profile on the BES and re-added myself as a BES user, but the same thing happens each time.

My Voice dial no longer works well using the same noise-cancelling headset I used on my 9780 (Expressway 2.1 by VXI). I used to be able to drive my car with the top down at 100 MPH and voice command worked perfectly. Now, it doesn't hear me even at much lower speeds and when it does, it doesn't recognize much of what I say. It seems that there's more noise and less volume being transmitted by the mic, as well as by the 9900 microphone (when not using the headset), than the 9780.

Wow...it seems RIM just spins their wheels from one version to another. Making newer units with poorer hardware...gee...

Update - it seems this is an issue on this OS. I am seeing same reports elsewhere, but nothing having to with BES.

Damn...I wonder why it does on yours and not mine...and I've tried this by deleting my BES account and re-adding myself (few others as well) - at least 10 times now using the security wipe feature each time. All with the same results.

You are referring to the search option in the "options" screen right?

Which BB O/S are you running?

Wow...must be a buggy or slightly incompatible BES OS in our case...thank for the response.

I only hear of people having issues with certain BES accounts.

Haven't heard of a fix yet, though some swear by a phone wipe.

Did that many times and each time I activate/reactivate on the BES...problem comes back. Deleting BES accounts and re-loading the user doesn't help either. Today, I had a look at the BES policies and found nothing strange. I didn't change anything either, but as of just now...it just started working on its own. Very weird.

There are many bugs in these not-so-mature OS versions as well. Many, many bugs, but, I'll stick to the 9900, as I know in a short time, many will be worked out. It's not like every other phone manufacturer builds software any better or has any less issues.

The more feature rich these devices become, the more buggy the software releases become...and we've been dealing with this since the dawn of computer OS's.

It's annoying, and just when you think they've nailed most of them down, they release a new OS altogether. They will NEVER get ahead of the curve...that's just technology and we're all beta testers for them. At the very least, shouldn't we get something monetary for our mass efforts? LOL
