BB Bold 9900 browser blackBerry smartphones

Many people,

Just got my new BB Bold 9900. When I try and close the web browser, it does not close completely.

I press the BB button (next to compose on the keyboard), scroll to the bottom and click Close. However when I hold in this BB button to view open applications, the icon of the browser is still there.

Is this normal? Must the browser application always run in the background?

Just curious snack that's draining the battery life.

See you soon.

You're close it properly.

Closed browser is not drain the battery. A left pending in the context of an active Web site it will deplete quickly.

There are about 5 apps which always run in the background... browser, BBM, phone, home screen and Messages.

  • My BlackBerry Bold 9900 questions blackBerry smartphones! Bluetooth, clock, battery, security

    I just bought my BB Bold 9900 last Friday (January 6) and my provider is MTS. I have problems with my phone.

    But first, let me say that I am a TIME BlackBerry user FIRST and I could do something wrong or I didn't have the correct settings. But I'd appreciate any help!

    First, the battery life is much too short! After the initial charge (charged from one day to the next), the battery did not last me until noon the next day. I pay it full once I got home, and then I noticed that the battery life was longer now. I guess that it would improve after a little cooler. I think that the battery needed a kind of start-ups before it becomes fully functional. In any case, this problem seems to be resolved, for now.

    Second, my phone has problems with the security lock code / password. I have install a locking password to prevent someone from simply to check the contents of my phone. It's OK at first, but after a while, the phone seems to be "forget" to ask for my password. I just press the lock/release button and I have access to my home page without entering the password. I kept checking security settings to see if the password is "on", it is. For me, it's a major security problem!

    Thirdly, the zone time/clock settings seems to be incorrect. I'm from Winnipeg, MB, Canada and I use Central time, but the time that the phone is displaying is incorrect. Like the weather here in Winnipeg is 10:00, but in the phone, it's 04:00! Even if I fixed my phone and set up the time manually, the time that appears on my emails is always incorrect and inaccurate. And I couldn't find my clock anywhere icon. I looked in the applications folder, and it isn't here!

    Finally (I hope this is the last problem with my phone), I have problems of bluetooth. I tried to send a picture from my Mac to my BB via bluetooth, and it worked fine. But when I tried to send a picture that I took the camera from my BB to my Mac, it wouldn't send! I checked the blutooth connection many times (Mac to BB, BB to Mac, they are fine) I have and found that the settings are correct and devices are discoverable and connected, so I don't really know what to do. This phone is really frustrating.

    I have an urgent plan to unlock my phone for use on a different network, but I can't do it now because of these problems. I really want to have a Blackberry (before I bought and did not yet know the problems) I want a RELIABLE PHONE, rather than choosing an iPhone which for me is a TOY. But I am really disappointed with this phone. I begin to fear that this would be as reliable as I expected it would be, and he'd let me down just when I needed it most!

    I'd appreciate it really all the help I could get and tips for the first time BB users. Thank you!

    My phone works OK now. I guess I could remedy all by myself! What a relief.

  • BlackBerry BOLD 9900 Protect blackBerry Smartphones

  • BlackBerry Bold 9900 T-Mobile Smartphones not receiving email or BBM on mobile data

    Hello world

    I have a Bold 9900, I've had just for a few weeks. Last night, out of nowhere, I noticed that a new BBM message was not sent. After trying to figure out what it was, I also noticed that nothing related to data Mobile was working at all. No email, instant messaging, the functions of the browser. I turned my data on and outside, connected and disconnected from Wi - Fi and used the host to register with the network Routing Table. None of this has worked.

    I then used the diagnostic test to find out what the network functions did not exist, and that's what I got:

    Activation of radio data: Yes

    Signal level:-77 dBm

    Radio access: UMTS

    Network: T-Mobile

    IP address: (hidden)

    Ping ICMP echo: Yes

    Does anyone have answers for me? It is very debilitating not not to be able to use mobile data.

    Thank you very much

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) books of forwarding Service

    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • Services of Smartphones using Blackberry Bold 9900 BBM blackBerry without BIS in Iran, Possible?

    Hey everybody!

    I have recently moved to the Iran and I have the Bold 9900, the BIS is not supported by all providers here and I use a prepaid SIM (Iran-cell). Unfortunately they donot even have the GPRS for my phone here.  I looked through the net and read different answers to my own question, saying there is no way that I can use my BBM here without the data plan, at the same time, I heard Sagna saying they could use their BBM in here... So, just to make sure... Is there anyway I can use my BBM here somehow? I tried to connect to the wifi, but that did not work, could not even use the WhatsApp...

    Thank you very much!!

    -A

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With devices (for example, pre-BB10), a BIS plan any is indeed necessary to some carrier who can provide. With BB10, the requirement for the BIS is removed. Maybe that's why the others you know are able to use BBM... If they are on BB10 devices, then they may very well work with generic data plans. Many applications beyond BBM also require plan BIS - I recall, WhatsApp is one of those (but you should check the site of WhatsApp to know for sure).

    Good luck!

  • Button of browser blackBerry Smartphones No. on curve 9300?

    Hi all, my original BB curve 9300 was stolen - son he has liked it so much I bought another one from an Internet auction site. All was well until my son has noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said that everything was fine with his contract. They helped me through the access remote and backed up, then tried to restore and update all nothing done. The only thing they think is that it is a business phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they do not surf the net, so it is disabled. My question is, is that correct? Can do something to restore the navigation, or is it something else?
    Thanks Nicky

  • Problems with the WEB BROWSER blackBerry Smartphones, use not wifi network to open some Web sites

    Hello I'm owner of BB BOLD 9900 OS 7.1... for the last two days I am facing a pretty annoying problem with the BB browser.

    It means not affects the device... it just annoys me.

    When I TURN ON my WiFi on my BB with the network carrier Sim already homepage active who has a Active on it and open the web browser BB, according to the website on which I open the web browser chooses between the internet Wi - fi OR internet BIS carrier which is weird. BECAUSE a default if the wifi is enabled, then the web browser MUST use internet wifi network carrier for navigation. YOU TUBE, FB and TWITTER.com all use my carrier netwrok to open bt soon I open BBC.com or CNN or any other site the wifi symbol appears on the right side and so it uses the wifi network... and disappears when I opened THE 3 SITES you tube FB n twitter.

    My knowledge is that when you activate THE wifi network, the WEB browser is intended to USE the wireless internet, NOT the internet carrier

    The next time I switchd off the the carrier signal, and then Turned ON one internet WI - FI and then opened the web browser of BB. so now all the opend website with wifi internet bt as soon as I open YOU TUBE or FB or TWITTER.com it post a comment... .that cannot visit the web page when the carrier is off. Please turn on the radio n try again... I mean IT SHOULD OPEN with internet wifi? WHY do network carrier sim to open the web page?

    I have checkd my browser settings and they are default and also my wifi settings I have reset the... the problem still persists?

    any idea wats going on?

    Please help is needed I'm annoyed about this problem...

    Thank you

  • Browser blackBerry Smartphones has cuts/white blanks?

    My Torch 9800 is three months old now, and last week, the browser started to act weird. In any website I'll twitter, yahoo homepage or tumblr, there's always the whitespace or cuts that doesn't let me see the whole page. Is not that a Cup, I scroll down there will be white discounts every now and then.  It is not something bad internet connection either, I tried to test it located next to our router with full signal and always the page load like that.

    It is not a centre for Blackberry here in the Philippines and the closest is Hong Kong or Singapore. The telecom brand I got the phone to advised me to try to reset my phone back to the factory settings, while perhaps this glitch could clarify. I asked them if it was something that could be solved by putting up-to-date or is the result of accidentally change some options of the phone. In the end they told me back toward the top of my phone, it brings them so they could restore it to factory settings, bad comes to worse that he is still not back to normal, since it is still under warranty, they'll gladly give me a new.

    ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? It has something to do with the update? lack of storage space? accidentally change browser options/settings?

    Here are the links of what it looks like. I took the liberty of the screen it munching that guys can understand what im trying to say

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery.

Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you need to get in touch with your service provider and insist that they honor the formal support that they are contractually required to provide you with. Do not let you fob before having 100% solved the situation. If they tell you to contact RIM, don't let them not on the hook, then either... insist that they tell you exactly how you should contact RIM. If they say anything OTHER that they will increase you rim (for example, if they tell you to independently seek the support of the RIM), and then accept it. Only through an escalation of your service provider can you receive all official support from RIM.

    Looks like they have made significant changes to their network... and they must ensure that their paying customers will continue to receive the services that they pay.

    Good luck!

    Once you have your backup refer to this Knowledge Base and reset your device to factory setting:

    Reseting your device as it will remove these COMPUTER strategies, but more importantly after a reset while restoring your backup does everything restore, perform a selective restoration which may include Contacts, notes, calendar etc. entries. If you perform a complete restoration then these strategies COMPUTER may return and you will have to repeat the whole process.
