Take the device back...get a new one, upgrade the OS as soon as you get it and test it out, if the streaming issue still exists..I'd be looking at Orange for answers there..if the resets continue as well...you have two choices, wait for OS upgrades cause it's obvious Orange and RIM know of the issues and are looking to correct it..second option, as much as I hate to say it...look at a different device. @ste9000

Is this just an software problem which should eventually get fixed by os upgrade or is it a hardware issue and should I be going back to orange for a new phone? I was assuming eventually a new os would fix the issue but no luck so far as some of us know. Can I just confirm something as I’m not sure what I should do.

However in Andres case, he got a lemon..

Battery drain (always) 2. Memory Slot can not eject out (often) 3. System memory can not pre load any sample videos and ringtones. However, not an O/S bug. (often) 4. LCD blinkering (rare) 5. USB can't charged (very rare) 6. Volume button very hard to press or sometime even can't work (often) Problems on bold :

I'm currently running OS 4.6.0.162. My handset resets itself 4-5 times a day of its own accord. My other gripe is its inability to stream media. I have not once managed to stream from youtube despite full 3G signal. The only time I managed was through wireless. I just hope that Orange are not about to pull the plug completely. I know wonder whether its best I take my handset back. Is this problem software based or hardware? Well I am on Orange Uk with a Bold and got mine at the beginning of September.

First, RIM should have shipped a product with a stable, operable OS across all of their carriers' networks. Secondly, when a new version of OS is available, it should be available across all carriers covering that handset. Case in point is the Curve. Informed AT&T customers are upgrading their OS via other carriers or through "unofficial" betas to get improved functionality from OS 4.2 to 4.5. My feeling is that RIM and the carriers should look at pushing critical OS updates to the hanset or at least pushing a notice to the consumer via handset notifying them of an update available to their OS.
