BlackBerry 10 BB 8900 curve to Q10

I dropped my BB 8900 and the screen is broken. So I bought a new Q10. Can I use my backup of the 8900 in the BB desktop software to recover my contacts?

It is impossible to use the screen of the 8900 as it is broken...

Yes, I think. Do you remember if had 8900 OS 5.0 is installed?

If you have a current backup of the 8900...

Install BlackBerry Link for the Q10.

When you connect the Q10, jump to any switch of the device and click on restore and then in the popup window, if you do not see the backup files to restore, you should see a "backup restore existing" or similar wording.

If that does not automatically backup 8900, you will need to navigate to the backup to point to it.

  • Icons/apps blackBerry Smartphones have suddenly disappeared from my BB 8900 Curve

    I have a BB 8900 Curve and it works very well up until now. Some applications/icons have disappeared from my phone and I have not changed anything. So now my icon for textmessaging disappeared, as the BBmessager and the profiles icon that indicates if you want the phone to ring/quiet.

    Can someone help me please!

    Thank you

    Dear comrades, addicted to the Blackberry,

    It's incredible but true, the problem solved itself from one day to the next.

    I turned the phone off before going to sleep and then this morning I tried again and everything is back to normal.

    Pffff... I am very happy that I shouldn't go through all difficult downloads and other technical programs to run since I'm a fool

  • Smartphones blackBerry freeze / hang screen - Curve 8900

    Hi, I have a Curve 8900 which works fine since I bought it 3 years ago. Recently, the screeen began to crash and freeze and its driving me crazy! The usual routine to take out the battery when the unit is on solves the problem temporarily, but then after a short while the problem comes back... Please help... I have zero apps on the device. I have put some photos on the device recently but the memory card still shows 75% of free space! Thank you very much.

    The first thing I recommend is to check what I said in my first reply you above... Make sure you have a solid backup. Given what you describe, your situation may worsen, and data loss is without a doubt a high risk to you now.

    Assuming you're all good in this regard, then then I recommend a full WIPE on the device:

    • B14058 How to delete all data and applications in the smartphone BlackBerry using the security option wipe

    But before you do anything about restoring data or reinstallation of applications, make sure that the problem re-no appears not at 100%. If it is not the case, then you can restore/reinstall. But if so, then more drastic measures are needed, starting with a refill of BONE.

    At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for many models. If they understand your model, please use those as a reference as you go along. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the download portal official for packages of OS for your model:

    From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try this procedure might limit the specific causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

  • Loading Smartphones 8900 Curve blackBerry problems

    Hey everybody,

    I'm looking for by all positions with loading problems as my Curve 8900 finally begins act weird. When using the wall charger Blackberry, the LED flashes but the battery will never change. I got another charger that adapt and worked from a different manufacturer, but he began to do the same. In fact, when I tried last recharge, my curve began to refuse to start. I connected to my laptop and then it started to load and has been good during the past few days.

    Currently, I wonder something my wife told me that there is a limit to how many times you can load a blackberry using the USB port on the computer. I am also looking to buy a new charger too.

    Is there documentation on default Chargers? My curve is about 3 years old now.

    All answers and assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    First of all, it's just a myth that you can recharge by USB with your laptop for a short time.

    Infact every day possible, I charge my BlackBerry via USB in my office to connect to my laptop.

    So not to worry.

    Secondly would recommend purchase kindly new Orginal of BlackBerry charger.

    I hope that solves your problem!

  • Smartphones blackBerry 8900 curve

    Hello

    I plan to buy a Smartphone. Still undecided between a Blackberry Curve 8900 and a Nokia E71X. I have a few questions:

    1. Not to mention that voice dialing, can I use my voice to other duties (provide GPS voice instructions to find an address, etc..)?
    2. When you use the desktop application, in addition to using the USB connection, I can connect the 8900 using Bluetooth or WiFi, for synchronization?
    3. The 8900 can be attached (using it as a wireless modem to connect my laptop to the Internet)?
    4. The home screen can be customized (can change icons, shortcuts, the list of applications, etc.)?
    5. The screen can change between Portrait and landscape?
    6. The GPS is a complete recommended standalone GPS, or it relies on wireless service (for example, ATT charges $10/month for the GPS service, called A - GPS)? What I mean is that I have to pay for this service, or can GPS works without him?
    7. What is the warranty for the 8900?
    8. Is the 3 8900?
    1. I'm not aware of the use of the voice to give GPS instructions. You can use voice dialing, which is where you can talk to the someone name in the address book and BlackBerry will call this number
    2. You can connect via Bluetooth and USb cable
    3. Yes. Although with some companies you need monthly extra payan to attach
      http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB05196
    4. You can change the theme or download themes of the device to change the appearance of the icon. You can hide the icons that you don't want anymore.
    5. In my view, that this feature is available on the storm.
    6. You do not have to pay for the GPS. If you get a BlackBerry data plan then it comes with data unlimited, so you do not download charged to use the data. There are a few good GPS programs that offer turn-by-turn directions

    7. I believe it is a guarantee of 1 year, with a 30 days money back guarantee if you buy from your carrier

    8. I think that the device only connects to the EDGE network, not 3 G

    3. in Advanced Options, you will see a split pane screen. The left pane, it is what will be saved from your device, and the right is a list of the existing databases.

    3 select right your address book database (or your Calendar database), and then click the arrow in the Middle pointing to the left. This will copy the information on and prepare it for the backup.

    4. once the backup is complete, click the button Clear down to erase, and then clean up the database of book full address (or calendar).

    5. once it is finished, it will ask you if you want to save the backup that you created, say you Yes and check the device to make sure that the address book (or calendar) has been duly cleared out. Now, Resync the necessary contact details and you should be set to go.

  • BB blackBerry smartphones don't Curve 8900 no button or scroll the entry work

    Hi, I'm looking for something with a curve of friends. Phone powers upward but cannot use any key or scroll. I have stripped and cleaned the scroll ball, and there was a very heavy dried dust in scroll housing. Which I cleaned it with a soft brush. I factory reset, using BB Manager (0kay), but this problem still persists. I watched the Ribbon connectors and they seem to be connected properly. Any suggestions please?

    It could be anything. It sounds like the keyboard or the water has gone bad. However, it could be something in the main map too. You won't know until you start replacing parts.

  • Issue of identity of Blackberry Smartphones blackBerry 8900 Curve

    When you try to use the Blackberry app world, I received a message that I need to download a Blackberry ID. I got an option to download on the phone, I started.  Down load began and after about 4 hours has been attached to 17.  I somehow cancel and return to the screen of the App Store, a few days later, I tried to get into the App store again and I got the same message, download the code for Blackberry.  When started downloading it immediately came up with a screen showing the Blackberry identity, 100 installation.  It has been 5 days that this screen displays t it download at 100 and I can't erase or go to app world.  How can I delete?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There are... many potentially relevant KBs public on it rather than trying to post links to them all here, I rather recommend you go here:

    and research... maybe on 'identity update failed', or something similar. Some of the results imply a policy that blocks, others speak AFN and other configuration items to address, still others recommend to remove the identity application entirely and let it start over fresh.

    The right solution for you depends on many factors... so your review of the relevant KB articles will hopefully result in your conclusion which will work for you.

    Good luck!

    Thank you

    Try to do this, first of all.

    1. on your BlackBerry, open the browser > Menu > Options > Cache operations and delete the browser's cache.

    2. with the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Then try a backup and let us know.
