at the Verison store they mentioned that these two problems might be solvable by installing a new firmware:

1) shutting off issue

2) battery usage was very rampent 3G searching for the best connection using power too much)

 

But i have checked and i have 4.6.0.167 according to the application loader.

 

is this the same as the "firmware" upgrade?

 

it seems different, as it says on the application loader this is "software"

On the BB, In Options > About, compare the results to what your carrier publishes on their device OS release page:

 

"Firmware" and "Device OS" and "Device Software" are often used interchangeably...but they all refer to the same thing...the base OS that runs the BB.

 

Good luck and let us know!
