• BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Media Sync continues to display 'Please connect a Blackberry smart phone' when the Blackberry Storm is connected to the PC

  About a 2 months ago when I would like to connect my (the first storm) blackberry storm to my computer via the USB cable supplied with the phone, I was able to transfer music from my computer (itunes) to the blackberry via Blackberry Media Sync with no problems (open Blackberry Media Sync, connect blackberry to the computer via the USB port and screen Media Sync would change so that I could sync to the blackberry storm music). I didn't even have to install Blackberry Media Sync in December 2009

  But now after I connect my Blackberry Storm to my computer, the screen of Blackberry Media Sync does not change and continues to display "please connect a Blackberry smartphone. I tried these tips I found online:

  1.) several reboots my computer (windows vista)

  2.) update/reinstall Blackberry Media Sync, then by restarting my computer

  3.) reconnection from blackberry to the computer, then open Media Sync

  4.) Open Media Sync first and then connect the blackberry to the computer.

  5.) installation BlackBerry USB and Modem drivers (even if I can't find the USB driver for it under the Universal Serial Bus Controller when I check in the Device Manager when you go to control panel – system and Maintenance – Manager of devices, but I found a v2 COM4 and COM5 RIM virtual serial Port when you select "devices by connection" under display in Device Manager) or are RIM Serial Port virtual v2 COM4 and COM5 drivers I'm looking for?

  6.) go to Options (on blackberry) - memory and make sure Media Card Support, Media Transfer Protocol (MTO) and Mass Storage Mode Support are resolved on 'On', the encryption Mode is set to 'None' and mass storage Mode Auto activate when connected, it the value "Prompt" although I tried to 'Yes' as well. It says I have 785 MB of memory space of the unit out of 879 MB total memory of the device and 7.1 GB of free space on a total of 7.3 GB of Media Card Media Card.

  None of the above tips and troubleshooting tips worked. I also checked the Blackberry technical solution center but I've not found anything there that has contributed to the other. I found discussions forums online, including issues of people with 'blackberry media sync cannot connect to the device' pop up, but I have not had this pop-up. The Media Sync screen remains just the same as if I never connected the blackberry storm to my computer in the first place even if my blackberry storm recharges via the computer.

  Is there something that I miss or have not yet done? What should I do?

  Too bad. I went to a Verizon store and they me remove the battery and turn the blackberry. Worked like a charm and I can now use Media Sync.

  Also told me that I need to update the software of the phone blackberry using Blackberry Desktop software (I have version 4 and need to update to 5) and make sure to choose to back up files when you are prompted during the update or you will lose all files, the media and info saved on blackberry.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Media Manager NOT working for Blackberry storm (wont install on the computer)

  Hello 2 months ago, I got a Blackberry storm. Its a good phone, but I have a problem that would do much better. When I try to install the Office Manager, everything installs without count Roxio Media manager. It gives me an error and cancels the installation of Roxio and continues with the other stuff. I really want to transfer Photos and videos from my phone to my computer and vice versa. Please tell me what can I do to install the Media Manager to get the work of the unit. I do not have the installation CD, I downloaded it from the blackberry website. The English version WITH media manager and I even clicked Custom install and made sure that he had the intention to install it.

  My error is:

  Error 1402.Could cannot find the key:

  UNKNOWN/ComCtl3.CoolBar/CLSID

  Make sure you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personal.

  Which means that I have to do?

  Nothing happens... what means? If you, as you said earlier, dragged thing here, it is something, isn't it?

  Oh dear oh dear... it's never a good idea to try to do several things at the same time. Now we will never know who is truly causal... Here's what I propose...

  1. Untether
  2. 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.
  3. See if you can see all that through the device file Explorer
  4. Restart the PC
  5. Re-same and see if the discs are all properly visible through Windows

• BlackBerry Storm smartphones - delete all entries in the calendar?

  Is there a way to delete all the entries in the calendar?  I had the storm and had a sync error Outlook.  Since then, I had a lot of duplicates.  Is there a way to erase everything?

  Thank you!

  If you encounter errors in your calendar or address book on your BlackBerry and you want to delete the entire address book (or calendar) base on your BlackBerry, follow the instructions below. Make sure that you have a good copy of your calendar or Contacts, because this procedure will delete all the calendar entries or entries from the address book on your BlackBerry.

  1. open the Desktop Manager on your PC.

  2. open Backup/Restore > advanced.

  3. in Advanced Options, you will see a split pane screen. Left pain is what happens to save on 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.

  in any case, if the phone is saturated from the previous addresses of owners and contacts and text messages.

  I have downloaded the software ABC Berry beautiful, made a backup of the blackberry, flat, backup, exported all the old owners info and emailed them to him.

  So I jumped my sim in my W810i, found the copy all contacts to sim card option, did.

  Took my sim card, threw my w810i in the trash can and popped the SIM in the blackberry. (I'm kidding I gave the phone to a friend)

  So now, I have a blackberry that is nicely backed up and a sim card with all my contacts.

  How to do a master reset/clean slate/lobotomy to the blackberry and then load all contacts on the sim card.

• BlackBerry Blackberry Storm Smartphones - does not light (red light)

  Hi all

  Recently, I dug my Blackberry Storm out of his box and tried to use it again. Unfortunately, it not light.

  I can plug it into my computer (Mac) and the red light comes on. He will stay on until I open the Blackberry Desktop Manager how the phone starts a cycle of rebooting. Every now and then it stops on a symbol of the battery with a slash through it (are there no battery in the phone), but the second, I try to connect to it via the Blackberry software it restarts again.

  I tried the JML encoder or whatever his program called and every time it tries to connect to the phone, the phone restarts.

  This is as far as I know:

  Carrier: Verizon

  Phone: Blackberry Storm (to 2008)

  Computer: Mac

  Program: Blackberry Desktop Software 2.4.0 (Build 17)

  My phone is out of warranty and since he began to send me in trouble in 2009 I switched to Android. I've never had a problem with Android, so I forgot to go back and see what was wrong with my Blackberry. I hope someone can help out me. I can't really 'take to verizon' because their solution is swap out today just for a working one, but since it's out of contract. / warranty, they will tell you simply throw me. I live in Los Angeles, perhaps someone someone actually knows phones Blackberry of PATCHES. I know it's a new idea.

  Thanks, I hope someone can help!

  In your situation, a 507 is actually a good thing... 507 means that the BB has no OS installed in it, but at least it turn on now.

  I don't know how do to recover it through MAC... all of the stuff I know applies to the PC. You might find some MAC-specific help in our MAC-specific forum:

  • supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Desktop-Software-for-Mac/BD-p/blackberryformac

  Everything what I've heard, none of the stuff to get over this is for MAC, so if you have access to a Windows PC, you can perform the following procedure, which removes as "automatic" search/download OS that fails on your MAC and replace it with what you control:

  1) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

  (2) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:BBsoftwareesktopSoftware & Cal = us: bbsoftware

  (3) download and install to your PC, the BB OS package you want:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  4) 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

  (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

• BlackBerry storm smartphone synchronization problems

  Hello. I'm new to this forum. I just got the storm. I used to have the palm tx. When I open the bberry Desktop Manager and click on the device switch Wizard to synchronize my info from the Palm to the storm Office Manager, opens the window of the migration wizard. When I click Next, the window becomes "select desktop organizer", where I can choose the software to import from. But the options are not underlined, so I can't select the option of palm treo/Organizer. What's wrong?

  I know I have the Palm TX not the Treo, but I just want to download it from the desktop organizer that is the same for both. Both my Palm and the storm are connected to the computer and I have Windows XP Home Edition. My Palm Desktop Organizer is version 4.2, which is not on the list of the bberry Manager compatibility, but it is a later version, that shouldn't be a problem. Should I get a Treo (temporarily), synchronize it with my computer and then try to transfer the files to the storm? Or is the problem something else? Thank you.

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  I think that your Palm 4.2 is not compatible. The last article is 12/8 and ignores the right 4.2

  Thank you

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone Internet browser issues

  I use a Blackberry Storm with a Verizon data plan.

  My phone is able to connect to my email server and works very well in this regard.  I can also use the Opera browser to browse the internet without fail.

  Problems arise whenever I try to navigate with the default browser.  If I click on a bookmark saved on my home page, and then I am able to navigate successfully to the bookmark url.  However, I can never establish a connection every time I enter a url on my own, or do a google/wikipedia search, etc...

  So, basically, I can't navigate with my default blackberry internet browser.

  I already tried this troubleshooting:

  historic compensation and cache, doing resets from phone, deactivation and reactivation of the RF connection... still nothing is helping.

  Without leaving the browser, I can still click on a bookmark and the internet works, however, whenever I enter a url or a search on the home page item, the browser fails and gives me the following message is displayed:

  "A communication failure has occurred with the chosen Mobile Data Service.  The server may be busy, please try again later.  If the problem persists, contact your administrator.

  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

  It's easy: in the options of the browser, set the default browser as "Internet browser" instead of "Blackberry Browser".

• Application of quick launch of blackBerry storm Smartphones

  I love QuickLaunch for this purpose, instant on instant access to your selected speed dials, SMS and e-mail more quickly so the apps and features.

  http://www.blackberrynews.com/2009/01/28/QuickLaunch-is-a-must-have-app-for-BlackBerry-storm/

  Reviewing Xandrex...

  I just installed it on my device.

  Here is the list of what I can add to the quick launch menu:

  Standard applications :

  • Add Camera
  • Add video camera
  • Add Call Log Erase
  • Add the calculator
  • Add info on the device
  • Add Bluetooth Config
  • Add some Options of BB
  • Add the calendar
  • Add BB Maps
  • Add Contacts
  • Add to the event log

  Hyperlinks :

  • Add Url (no matter what URl, but cannot choose the options like a bookmark)
  • Add phone call (can type a phone number or choose from the list of Contacts)
  • Add Email (can type an e-mail address or choose from the list of Contacts)
  • Add SMS (can type a number of mobile, to choose amongst the list of contacts)
  • Add file (Image, Audio, Video, etc.)

  Applications that can be selected :

  • net_rim_bb_qm_google---> (perhaps GoogleTalk) causes "Eception Exception: DSC: duplicate Sync Collection.
  • net_rim_bb_messagin_app (app Messages)
  • net_rim_phone_app (phone application)
  • TalkLock (should not appear since it is a demon and not a real application, I have not tried adding and clicking on it if)
  • net_rim_qm_peer (Blackberry Messenger)

  Other applications I have installed and which can not be selected :

  • Open the keyboard (standard)
  • VLingo
  • Opera Mini (4.2 for J2ME devices)
  • TyperSpeed
  • BerryStore (beta)
  • YouTube
  • Google Maps
  • Google Mail
  • BOLT (beta)
  • Memory cleaner
  • BrickBreaker
  • Word Mole
  • Tiltris

  Pros :

  • It is an application very well for common applications & access
  • You can assign it to a side convenience key
  • You can change the order of items in the list
  • cheap

  Disadvantages : all applications installed on the device can not be selected.

  Final thoughts :

  • I would have preferred to be able to open the keyboard and VLingo. Because of two, I can't use the application until I used to manipulate the storm differently.
  • I hope that there will be updates that I'll be able to download without paying a second time.

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone Versions and Java Support

  Hi all

  According to the information on the Web on Blackberry storm, they only have one 9530 version. Searching on the forums I could see some people talking about 9500 also, see info here. Now we only have one version now? Please correct my understanding.

  According to the information I have the Blackberry storm is released with Vodafone and Verizon. Vodafone is based GSM and Verizon CDMA based. So I guess that the storm supports both GSM and CDMA.

  It may be a silly question but still I ask. As devices based CDMA based generally Brew, I had a doubt, that where we have two versions of the storm, both supported by Java. As we develop applications using JDE4.7 will work on both versions.

  Please correct my understanding and provide information.

  Best regards

  Sandeep

  Hello

  the storm has two features: 9500 and 9530.
  9530 = 9500 + CDMA

  I use now a 9530 in France, where there is no CDMA. It is then exactly as if I had a 9500.

  Modern BlackBerry devices (with trackball or a touch screen) have an operating system that is made up of Java (and), as well as applications can be developed in Java for BlackBerry. You can find valuable information by clicking on the "DEVELOPERS" link at the top of this page.

  Java applets are not supported by the browser.

  Be careful which JDK you are using for your development.

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphones do not highlight my selection

  Hey technical support form.

  Just recently started and don't know what I did!

  When I'm in my SMS folder my BB Storm accentuates not my selection in blue, as it does everywhere else before selecting the message. What I changed and how do I get that back! Help

  Whenever your BlackBerry acts weird:

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

  Then try the selection again in an SMS.

  Everything good?

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone keyboard does not

  So here's my problem: my keypad does not work. When I push a number nothing happens. The works of 0 and when I hold down the 1 goes to voicemail. When he goes to voicemail, however, where the numbers should be there are letters. If I have someone in my contacts, I can call but I can't dial their number. Everything else on the phone works. Email, SMS and browser all work to them. It is only the most basic function that will not work. I called Verizon and they helped me to restore and then an update, but that did not help. I went to the Verizon store and they said that all they can do is a clean cloth and restoration, the same thing I did over the phone. I then took it to Cell Phone Repair (CPR). They said that they have never seen him. And if they have ever seen, then it must be really screwed. Help, please!

  Hello

  I assume that you have already performed a traction battery without effect, correct? If this is the case, then I'll recommend a more radical action.

  First of all, start by saving the information on the device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and then disconnect your phone from your computer. Then, download and install the operating system on your computer from here: http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/download.aspx.

  Once you have your operating system installed on your computer, download and install a program called BBSAK from http://bbsak.org. After installing the program, plug your phone and open BBSAK. When you are prompted, type your BlackBerry password (if you do not have a password, just press ok). The PIN of your BlackBerry should then display to BBSAK. At this point, click Wipe Device. This will delete all data and the operating system of your phone and must leave an error 507 on your phone. Then, click Load OS. Now, this will open the file from the BlackBerry charger that allows you to reload the OS of your storm. Just follow the steps and then once your storm has restarted, you can open the BlackBerry Desktop Software, and restore your data. If you want to be really sure, just do a selective restore of the info that you need (messages, contacts, calendar, etc.). That you will protect, just in case the problem is in part due to a bad database.

  You should now be back running. If not, let me know, but if it's a software related issue, this should solve the problem.  As a final note, this will remove also all your third party apps, you'll then need to re-download those.  If you can, however, delay on that until you know for some that the problem has disappeared.
