  Hello

  I have a blackberry curve 9300 and I used to be able to zoom in for pixture and videos in justing moving the trackpad, but when I don't move the trackpad, I can't zoom in! Anyone know what could be the problem?

  Thank you very much

  I had this problem on my phone.  People of the Orange support forced me to take the battery out while the phone is still on and then replace it.  Once the phone is started again then the zoom worked once more.

• Additional applications of blackBerry Smartphones No. designed for your device found

  Hello

  I get the, msg "no additional applications designed for your device not found" when trying to install new software via my Desktop Manager. I read a thread that says I have to install BlackBerry software for the current device.   It seemed to work for the individual with the question.

  The post office is: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&message.id=...

  Well, I would like to download the software for mine, but my carrier/provider don't showup on the BlackBerry site.  My carrier is AlaskaDigitel.  Is there some generic download that I could use?  My Office Manager can show what software is installed on my device, like Google Maps, etc.. He simply refuses to install the software. The things I installed were facilities OTA.

  Here is a little info that can help you to understand what I see:

  I have a BB 8130 Pearl
  v4.3.0.127 (Platform 3.1.0.73)

  I think that there is something wrong & I just don't recognize the simple fix for it. Could someone help me?.

  Yes, that's the problem.  You need the OS installed on the computer (so it will show in the tab of the device software) in order to get rid of this error.  You can use any OS for your device model, regardless of the carrier.

  Use the link below to find a carrier CDMA which offers the 8130 and has a download for 4.3.0.127.  Download it, install it on your computer.  Then go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."  This file prevents the installation of your device carrier operating systems.  Deleting the file will allow DM recognize as valid for your device.  It does nothing else, so it is safe to delete.  Once you have deleted the vendor.xml file reconnect the device to the PC and launch the Desktop Manager/Application Loader.  You should be good to go.

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS 'search for satellites... ". "questions about T - Mobile BB Curve 8900

  My wife and I had our 8900 s for 6 months.  All this time, the GPS worked so sporadically (works maybe 5% of the time) that we have renounced them.  I read all the posts on almost all forums, including this one.  I was on the phone with T-mobile for more than 2 hours - almost an hour of going out on my patio in 105 degree heat!  After going on all of the possible settings and reboot several times, the girl has finished telling me that it must be because the trees in my yard blocked the signal.  His only suggestion - call RIM.  What have I learned?

  1. I can't use my GPS inside to plan a trip. (roof and walls block signal)

  2. I can't use my GPS in the van to get to a place. (signal blocks of metal body)

  3. I can't use my GPS in a city to find an address. (buildings of great height-block signal)

  4. I can't use my GPS in the mountains to keep from getting lost. (trees and mountains block signal)

  5. If I am in the open field, GPS find signal about 5% of the time.

  6. I can't find the phone support for us peons.

  My brother, daughter, nephew, and everyone - make sure everyone - who has one phone other than a 8900 can get a signal just beside session from me.  My phone: 'search for satellites... ". »

  If a person tells me that I must be "outdoor" to use my GPS, I'm their Butterfly!  However, if you have a constructive suggestion, I'm all ears.  And before ask you, I have a data plan unlimited, and I tried with location helping the Endabled and people with disabilities.

• Application of blackBerry Smartphones of features for the next version of Blackberry... (roadmap)?

  Greetings

  I recently had the pleasure to develop on the Blackberry 9700 for my work, and it was a happy experience. I have several questions about the Blacberry and its future directions:

  Y there or there is already (or planned) for the blackberry with sensor functionality more?

  Y there or there is already (or planned) to have blackberry specialized for medical diagnosis?

  (I know this is a crazy idea, but with portable scanners and identifiers of available portable bacteria, it could be an interesting feature)...

  More specifically, it would be interesting that some of the features of Blacberry could include one or more of the following sensors:

  -Altimeter

  -Magnetometer

  -Thermometer

  -Accelerometer

  -Barometer

  -Hygrometer
  -Photometer
  -Rangefinder / Distance finder
  -Light meter
  -Sound level meter
  -Dosimeter (radiation)
  -MRI mobile (technology is not ready yet however)

  I know that my ideas may seem crazy, but I think that these types of portable devices will exist eventually on the market one day, and I just wanted to give people to Blackberry a few ideas!

  PS: I have a technical training in electronics, with some years of experience, so my idea is probably less crazy than you think!

  I hope that we will one day these types of devices!

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520 (call and network problems)

  Hello

  Recently, my BB Curve 8520 got damaged by water & with immediate support from a local vendor, it got fixed.

  Just after 2 days, it has some issues of appeal & off-grid chess. To validate the question with the handset, I checked the SIM card even with other mobile & it worked perfectly.

  Now,.

  Should I go to an authorized service center to solve this problem?

  (If Yes, then please suggest a BB in Vadodara official service center.)

  OR

  Do we not have an easy solution?

  Thank you

  Kailash-

  Hi shahi_kailash

  Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

  Check here and locate the authorized Service Center near you, service centers for the BlackBerry Smartphones in India . But FYI as much as I know they will fix all the water damage to devices.

  You can contact any local Mobile repair shop and see what they can offer. But more often in a water damage repair BlackBerry smartphone will cost a lot and you can't guarantee that it will work perfectly over a long period, you may experience the same problem right now or a new. So I think better to buy a new device or an opportunity instead of this unit damaged by the water.

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS on any area network?

  Hi, I m new with BB but I want to know something, can I use the GPS function or the WiFi features on a place that has no cell phone network signal /... for example, if a trip to another country with no active roaming?

  Thanks in advance.

  GPS on blackberry requires NO wifi or data.  BlackBerry maps, google maps and most current main GPS apps for blackberry require data or wifi, but it's a limitartion of these software applications, not blackberry devices.  There are other FREE applications that DO NOT require any data plan.  Nor do even need wifi connectivity.

  Google search for 'Mobile GMAPS' download the free app on your Blackberry.  It can be used completely with just your phone internal GPS and mapping files that have been downloaded to your SD card.  Or, if you want, you can use the wifi instead of data, but there is absolutely no need for any connection other than via the internal GPS device once you have maps on your SD card.  Mobile GMaps is not nearly as feature packed as GPS applications more mainstream for blackberry that currently require data plans, but hey, it's a free app and you will save data charges.

  Once you have installed Mobile GMAPS on your phone, you will need to use your PC and go to www (dot) mapcacher (dot) com and create a mapping file using google, yahoo or live maps.  Just select the area of the map you want, select zoom levels 1-16, choose the amount of detail and then click on the button to begin to build your mapping file.  The file will be created in a few seconds.

  You must then import this map file into an application like v0.7.2.2 gmapmaker mgmaps (dot) com/www cache (point) and install it on your pc as well. Import the mapping file into this tool and your map will be created.  There are a few different tools that can do the same thing - you can learn more about the different ones on Mobile GMAPS forums or better yet the site Crackberry - this is where I originally found the tutorial for this process.

  Get the built cards is not difficult, but it may take some time depending on your broadband ISP, the size of a map that you create and the amount of detail that you put on it (zoom levels add more information and you can choose anywhere between 1-17).  Then there is also the matter of getting the map to your sd card file once it is built because there will be a lot of small image files and folders Windows PC may not like if the structure of the file is too big.

  I recommend trying a few small test cards (like just your city) so you see how it works, try the different zoom levels and details.  After a few tries, you'll know how to create the perfect cards and the best files of sizes to easily copy maps on your SD card.

  It is not the best tool, but it is available and it is free and can be used anywhere and anytime - as long as your GPS can find the satellites.  I imagine that there will be much progress in other programs that do the same thing, because the free service is the way to go!  I hope that the major GPS manufacturers take note and join the herd by creating SD maps for blackberry devices too (windows mobile and symbian phones have this option) or they'll be next to lose a lot of money.  Why would anyone want to use their data plan to use the GPS when it should work on its own?

  The answer THEY will tell you is because it allows you to get the latest maps all the time, it's a limitation of phone blackberry that data is required.  This is total Bull * if.  The cards are always changing, but not enough to justify the cost of data each month.  Their is a lot of software SD card capable apps out there (TomTom, Garmin, Navigon, etc.), but they only work on Windows Mobile and Symbian, and because Blackberry push data, the SD versions have not been built yet.  At least with this tool, you know it is possible and can stop believing the hype of data plan.  In addition, if you want new cards, you can go out and download a new one whenever you want and copy it in your SD car.

  Enjoy your free, anytime, anywhere, GPS and pass on the good news to other friends of blackberry.

• Basic applications lost blackBerry Smartphones using Mac Office software

  Hello

  I have a working Bold 9700 and it is connected to the corporate network. It has been implemented by our IT Department. I was delivered he no charger so use a lead to my laptop. I have let it run to zero battery and when I tried to start, it would not turn on and had a red light. Connect to a Mac, I got a message that he was not recognized and reload the operating system. After doing this that it resets and I had to take at work to connect to the company. The problem is that many applications are missing e.g. GPS, guardian of password, Notes, Word, Excel etc.

  Reading the forums I'm for Blackberry on my Mac and click Device Manager on restore and the various applications I want are grayed out. I click on the request handler and is listed, so I can't do it until the load.

  I click on "check for updates" and get a message that there may be a problem with the connection to the server or the server is not responding please try again later.

  Is this a problem of encryption defined by my employer that we have very high standards of security, or is it a Mac problem or what? The main problem for me is to recover the password keeper and GPS software.

  Thanks for any help.

  I sorted this out after reading the forum. I decided the STINKS device Mac Manager and so borrowed a PC. The Manager of OS and devices, and that allowed me to reinstall all applications downloaded. All works now. Always on my Mac it does not correctly connect updates.

• BlackBerry smartphones download modules for device software 5.0 stops

  During the update process modules are downloaded, but this process stops at "downlaoding module 682 847. After some time (5 minutes) an error message: try again later might help again. But I tried now for about two weeks.

  What can be the problem and how to solve?

  The software can be downloaded in a single package and installed from the laptop?

  

  Hello

  I recommend the software downloaded directly from your carrier's Web site and install it directly on your computer. http://bbry.lv/cp57Eb

  Be sure to save before continuing: http://bbry.lv/945DGc

  Then I advise to use the application loader to reload the software on your BlackBerry smartphone. It is located in C:\Program Files\Common Research In Motion\Apploader.

  Make sure that the BlackBerry smartphone is connected directly to the computer, if a laptop computer and plugged in the back if a desktop computer.

  Thank you

• Application of blackBerry Smartphones Email Setup cannot connect to the server.

  We lived in Dubai and moved home to Omaha NE.  We had ATT go phones for Omaha, BB makes bold to Dubai. I took the my ATT sim put in bold, and everything worked perfectly.  I did the same for Ken and his phone and SMS works, but email will not send or receive. His "BOLD" is a little newer than mine 9780.

  When I click on setup of e-mail, the application initialization displays this message, "your device had a problem connecting to the server to try again Cancel" we have ATT connections and Wi - Fi and Bluetooth connection works.  The GPS knows where we are.  I can't understand the problem.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I think you need to talk to AT & T. From what I can see, that it looks not to the network AT & T natively supports the 9780 for automatic recording of THS and automatic distribution of maintenance book, which are necessary in order to receive all exclusive services BB (including e-mail). In addition, you must be a subscriber to a package of data from AT & T that activates the services you want - I doubt that the plan 'go' includes BB services.

  What I think is happening is that your BB continues to receive services of BIS of the carrier of Dubai, even if your BB is flowing on the ATT network. This can happen, but only until he discovers the carrier of Dubai and it stops at their end. I suspect that for Ken carrier of Dubai has already stopped all services... from where the reason why his BB can get no exclusive BB service.

  Get a BB to work on a medium that is not natively supported the specific model number is very very tricky... you can usually get services voice-level (for example, calls, voice mail, SMS), and sometimes even generic data services (for example, web browsing), but not exclusive data BB services (BBM, email, etc..).

  Then, talk to AT & T to be sure that you can use in fact entirely of these devices on their network... you need to ask him the question very specifically-"your network natively supports it of my 9780 for automatic recording of HRT and Service delivery book?"

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS, the 8300 and ATT

  I got my 8300 about a year previously and has waited until now to install the Garmin Mobile for Blackberry.

  Cingular says it had GPS 'ability' and I thought that it meant "integrated."  I paid $100 for the Garmin

  Download and got the version for phones WITH GPS.  Naturally he has no satellite.

  It is then that I discovered that I have the 8300 and not the 8310.  In addition, I had no Blackberry Maps

  featured and was ready to download/install, when I noticed the statement that IT DOES NOT

  ON ATT.  So, now I'm here with a bad brain trying to figure out how to get out of this trouble before

  I fed the rest of my money to Garmin or ATT or the PERSON, to get a less-than-perfect GPS Setup.

  I could get the Bluetooth GPS receiver, someone else purchased for about $60. Garmin Mobile software

  is an OF WHAT GPS with integrated phone and I noticed somewhere that it does not work for phones receive signals

  a Bluetooth receiver.  To stay with Garmin, I have to buy their package for about $150, which includes a

  receiver and the software to go with it.  Using THIS plan, buy one once, there seems to be no. $ 9.99/month

  subscription to process. (I'm wrong, or am I missing something here?)

  I could get the receiver for $60 as shown above and subscribe to Telenav GPS stuff that came with

  My att phone. I downloaded the new maps of them today, but I am not at all impressed with their quality.

  I also think that it is outrageous to pay the subscription of $9.99 / month to something I have trouble reading.

  Then... I guess I wonder if I should cut my losses here and go get the Garmin Nuvi that someone else

  has said was excellent for car navigation?  I like really use my 8300 for everything and have GPS it would sweep.  But I don't know if I combine a GPS system on the phone that he would give me the configuration of navigation that I would.

  There you have it. Opinions and advice are appreciated. BJ

  "One thing that made me hesitate to go to the BlueTooth receiver was the suspicion that he has not used the satellites, but uses rather server signals, or receiving cell tower." "I ordered the receiver Globalsat BT BlueTooth - 359C last weekend; I'll let you know how it works. »

  .

  .

  It works very well... and really uses satellites.  With Blackberry Maps, the dashboard for the navigation shows the speed you're going on the left, the right direction and a satellite icon in the middle with a number, which I guess is the strength of the signal.  The unit works as well for the location with Google maps, too.  Note: the key to the Bluetooth passcode is 0000.

  For more information, see: "http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-214-bt-359c.aspx."

• How can BlackBerry Smartphones GPS on 8310 I get the card?

  Can someone please tell me how to get the cards and use them on my 8310 as a gps travel card. I use very often and that you don't really want to pay for them.

  I saw a discussion on free google maps.

  Help, please

  Ash

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  Google maps is a free application that uses the GPS and triangulation via cell towers. If your GPS is enabled it can be very accurate. If your gps does not find a satellite, Gmaps will be triangulate your position within 3,000 metres.

  The cards are excellent, provide traffic, both in turn. Satellite image shows as well.  Allows to search for the company and displays the phone number and address. You can click on the number to call.

  Again, it is free, so you can lower the load and try it.

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS never find any satellite

  Hi all

  My first blackberry and my first post - blackberrys ROCK!

  Lovin my 8110, only a niggle - one of the main things I wanted this phone to was the GPS, but suspect I may have a defective hardware that the GPS never found a single satellite, looking for just indefinitely.

  Google maps for example, I select 'My position', and he thinks I'm a half mile away saying "-your location at 1200 meters.» "Waiting for GPS". The GPS never answers, I guess it gets less than 1200 meters by triangulation my position over the telephone network (vodafone).

  BlackBerry Maps - "Searching for satellies...» "Again, never to find!

  Options-> AdvancedOptions-> GPS:
  GPS data source: GPS device
  GPS services: location
  GPS location:
  Latitude: N 0 * 0.00'
  Longitude: W 0 * 0.00'
  Difficulty of time: no
  Number of Satellites: 0
  Precision: 0.0 m
  Location service: enabled

  My suspicions are correct, if my phone was delivered broken?

  Thanks in advance
  Tom

  Try refresshing to the Gps, go to menu, options, advanced options, gps, press menu again and refresh GPS

  Don't forget, you have to stand outside to receive the satellite signal
