have noticed a couple of bugs/glitches with my 7100t following the 4.0.2.32 upgrade, but have not found any mention here or at hofo of same or similar. an associate is also experiencing the same.

we are both running t-mobile 7100t handsets (native theme), using the BWC and we each updated to 4.0.2 just over a week ago. i have only two or three third party RSS apps loaded (choosing one of them to keep) and he has no third party apps onboard. he frequently uses a Plantronics BT headset, and i only occasionally use a corded Jabra EarBoom. he is a heavy SMS user with generous voice; i am a heavy emailer and SMS messager with heavy voice and heavy browser use.

considering the differences above, these bugs are most likely caused by the 4.0.2.32 update package:

call timer is frequently inaccurate. apparently the call timer is studying the theory of relativity as i can time via analog clock a 10 minute call, only to have the timer show 1:52 when the call is disconnected. a call initiated at the onset of a 30+ minute drive will conclude with an elapsed time of 10 - 15 minutes with change. these calls are made far from the oregon vortex, so i'm at a complete loss on this one.
on occasion (read: difficult to reproduce), adjustment of the volume via trackwheel will generate a "pop-up" bar in the status field in the lower screen region. this will be a slate gray window, bordered in black with no text within (this is very different from the call-waiting window, so it cannot be a "failed" or interrupted incoming call). when this appears, the handset freezes and no further response is generated from the trackwheel or any other key, aside from the red "End" key. this has happened using the handset speaker and the speakerphone, but this does not occur when switching between the two.

so... that's that. i'm aware that it is probable (as reported here) that there will be a new update released with the impending BWC overhaul and these bugs may not be a concern for long. but before i go making calls to Care and Tech, i'm curious if anyone has noticed these issues, or if maybe my friend and i are nimrods.

I had the same problem with the blue box in the lower (sometimes upper) part of my 7100 after installing the new software. I tried reinstalling and backing up only my phonebook and resyncing, with the same result. I called blackberry to see if it was a known issue, it was not (yet!). They called TMO for me and bypassed all the trouble shooting flows for me. I got my replacement handset that was preloaded with the 4.0.2.32 and no blue box! I think it might be the upgrade file. So I would do the same if I were you. Blackberry said it was a hardware problem. I would call Blackberry Cust Care to do the same..
