Backward compatibility of blackBerry Smartphones

Hi all

To cut a long story short, I destroyed my BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in March, and if I can get with my Nokia until I get a free upgrade in July, started having withdrawal symptoms, so I purchased a second hand BlackBerry Pearl 8100 E - Bay (well he said 8100, but I suspect it's a 8110 - how know?).  Before the death of the 8120 I had (fortunately) backt he up on my PC, so I want to know is: can I download a backup on a 8100/8110 8120?  Are there any known issues? All I need are my details, everything else is secondary.  I hope that someone can help (and that I can use a backup on a 8100 8120 /.) 8110.

Thanks for your time guys and girls

  • BlackBerry Smartphones blackBerry spy

    Hi people

    I was wondering if anyone here has experience with the installation of Trackwary PRO of http://mobilezenith.com.

    I'm looking for the tracking software to monitor my children BlackBerry phone and it seems to be the only monitoring software which can follow BBM as well as any other activity... thoughts?

    Hi bbwiz,

    I used Trackwary to track usage of the phone of my children. Amazing œuvres for my needs. Capture google chat, bbm, and gps location even if the phone doesn't have a gps it will get tour information to determine the location and their positions are also visualize on a map.

    I have tried others but had problems with backward compatibility with different phones. Trackwary works perfectly with both my phones of blackberty for children.

    More importantly, it seems not not using the battery, which most of these applications tend to make an impact.

    Highly recommend it.

  • BlackBerry smartphones my questions on the Storm 2 9520

    Hello everyone I do not have a Blackberry but I intend to update my phone soon and get a (I currently have a Nokia N95 8 GB). I looked through the list of Blackberry models, and the 9520 that I fell in love was the Storm 2 9520. I will probably get one, but I have several questions that I couldn't find clear answers on google. I'm picky about details on a phone, so I want to know everything before get you it. Here is the list of things that I had on my mind:

    -J' read that this phone records videos in 3gp format and not mp4. I'm a little worried about that, because I feel 3gp is less intense than mp4 by Windows (Win 7 user here). For example, 3gp, I filmed with an old phone years ago don't even open correctly in most players and no audio. So, is the format the phone records in playable correctly in Windows (Linux too)?

    -J' I always rename my pictures and my videos after taking. With the 9520, you can click a button or menu entry to rename an image / clip immediately after making it? Or they be saved with a name only automated, and you need to open your file browser and navigate to the file to be renamed?

    -A curiosity, I got on the touch screen if it is based only on the detection of heat or by pressing physics too. What I've seen, the heat detection is used when you lightly touch the screen and select the stuff / drag, while only pressing is used actually click. I'm curious because I could use my phone outside in the winter when I have leather gloves, and the screen can not detect my body energy then. Of course, it is difficult to use any phone with gloves, but I sometimes do to some extent

    -Use the charger micro-usb port, or another port? I know that some devices that use USB for charging and connection to the computer, which is a method that I prefer in general. No problem if it is not, just curious.

    -In the specs of the phone, it says maximum 8 GB micro-SD cards are supported. Someone can confirm that more cards are inconsistent and do not work (16 / 32 GB ones)?

    -J' read on a website that the only way to configure e-mail is to have a Blackberry Enterprise Server (do not exactly know what what). But you need to register with Blackberry using a classic IMAP / POP email account (like gmail or yahoo mail)? And besides, you need to register with any Blackberry service to use 3 G internet supplier or to use messenger (YIM MSN and AIM)? I'm guessing not, but always ask to be sure.

    -J' heard some phones have this limit / problem, so just to be safe: can put you MP3 transferred from your computer as ringtones? Or do you need to download them online from special services, as I heard some phones force you to?

    -J' read on several websites that there are complications with the installation of applications via the data cable. That's how I install most of my programs of others on phones. So if I have a jar or jad file on my desktop, is there no possible to install it via data cable unless I have an additional file with it? Same question for no java Blackberry applications.

    -All Web sites mention that the OS 5 web browser does not support flash on web pages (which I find quite sad). However, I can still play the files flash directly from my phone so I just open the swf file?

    -Can you play audio files in ogg / wav format? In addition, it can play video ogv, avi or mpeg?

    -Can I download themes for it that change the icons and colors of the menus? I guess the definition of custom screen (independent of the subject) shouldn't be a problem. Also, is there a free software that allows you to create your own themes and exporting it to the phone via data cable?

    -Are there also a front-facing camera for 3G video chat?

    -J' read on the differences between the 9520 and 9550 and that the 9550 has a frequency of additional network, sure it can work. Everyone says that you can not use a Blackberry in America if you buy it in Europe, in particular the 9520. Is this true? And the more vital than the 9520 9550 compatibility?

    -OS 6 will come to the 9520 too? Some sites say it won't, while than others whether in devices that it will support an update. Hope very much it will be

    -Finally, this could be a sensitive issue and I don't know how poorly seen on it is here. But it's easy to unlock / debrand the 9520? I would like to get the latest versions of firmware and do not have the limited phone.

    Someone mentioned the provider to branding is not done for commercial reasons, but in order to keep the compatible phone (and shouldn't even be illegal to debrand). So I think it should be ok.

    Yes, they are a lot of questions that may seem ridiculous. I got this phone for several years, so I want to know all about it. Thanks to all those who can help you meet them, and keep up the good work with phones

    3GP is the native video recording format. All you need is the codec on your PC to read. I downloaded a free transcoder and it not only transcode avi (and other formats) for me, but also to put the codec appropriate in what I can play natively without transcoding. QuickTime, I think a codec were also held. There are plenty of audio and the recorded video.

    Hmmm... haven't really tried to do... worst case, of course you can rename them later.

    In fact, storm BBs use two detection of heat as well as the physical press. It's called SurePress technology. Heat detection determines where on the screen you touch and then physical pressure activates the 'click' somehow. The entire screen is great physical button, whose activity is determined by your finger on the screen position when you press. As such, I doubt it'll work with gloves on at all. I know, on the ski slopes, I remove my glove to do something with my 9550.

    On the BB, a port for all functions. Micro USB for charging and attached USB data transfer. When connected to a PC with the drivers installed, the BB will be time load (from the USB port of the PC) as well as allow the transfer of data.

    Technically, the BB model is unrelated to the size of the SD card, it supports. It is rather a function of the OS level that the BB is running according to the instructions this KB:

    This issue is not that I consider as responsible. Everyone has their particular circumstances they need to meet. The features of the search machine and the frequency ranges of carriers that you want to run. Then choose the device that fits your specific needs.

    With the series Storm conspicuous by their absence, I consider any current to be candidates for the OS6.0 storms. But it is indeed in my humble OPINION.

    Hmmm... release information can be found here:

    But I'm not sure of your premises. You seem to be saying that you are locked in your level of update of carriers, as long as your BB is blocked. This is false. Unlocking is simply the function to allow your BB run on a network of different carriers... at the level of the BONE is irrelevant to that. You are free to use the carriers released OS for your specific model BB... There is just a tiny thing that you need to follow. But unlocking is not necessary to do so. There's nothing illegal or anything about unlocking. But it is useless unless and until you want to reverse your BB to another carrier.

  • Anyone else get randomly disconnected backward compatibility games? I'm about to give up the program.

    Whenever I play a games backwards Compatibility (BC) 360 I randomly cut from Xbox Live, but only on the 360 end not the end of the Xbox One (XB1). Here are a few notes for intelligent types:

    -It is not isolated to a game because it happens to me on Left 4 Dead 2, Gears of War 2, Peggle, COD: Black Ops, AND MORE.

    -Coming when I broadcast, coming when I broadcast. (I like to broadcast and this hinders my ability to do)
    -Not my connection because I'm staying on XBL on the dashboard XB1.  In addition, my other devices are connected.
    -Only occur on XB1 games... ever
    -Sometimes when I'm in a group of XB1 and 360.  Occurs when I'm not in a party.

    -My download is between 50-100 Mbps, Upload is between 15-30mbps

    -I'm on a wireless signal, reception of 100%.  Move to a wired connection soon to try this (doubtful).

    -J' forwarded the ports required for XBL according to Support.

    -J' went down the firewall on my router.

    -J' deleted games and reinstalled them.

    -J' deleted my profile player and re-uploaded on XB1 and 360.

    -My NAT type is OPEN.

    -No matter if its on disk or not. I actually bought L4D2 digitally even if I have the drive to try to alleviate the problem

    I'm not there are more things I forgot.  As you can see I have tried almost everything and got no results.  I contacted the support like 5 times and that is why the list is so complete.  It's incredibly frustrating when even people to Xbox support can help me then I'm going to try this as a last ditch.  I'm about to give up compatibility backwards and I have a large catalog of games that I NEVER threw.  Been a member XBL for 11 years in very good condition.

    I hope you guys and girls can help or at least it attracts the attention of young people the tech guys to Xbox.
