• BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Device Email address Question

  Hello!

  Is there anyway, I can change my address of E-mail BlackBerry Device? When I signed up the first time, I could put 'james' jamie 'no' (which is my nickname)

  Someone has an idea?

  Thank you

  James

  I believe you can. You not remove the account from the BIS, just the e-mail account. You won't have any future emails transferred from the old to the new, you lose nothing of the old address when you remove it.

  Another reason not to use these addresses (outside all uncontrollable mails they collect).

• Eclipse pluging 1.1 - "debug as Blackberry device".

  I installed eclipse 1.1 pluging. Looks like it works more stable and faster.

  When I chose "Debug under"-> "Blackberry Device", IDE builds, signs, and download bionary on device. Cool!

  But due to the update of the app, the appliance resets and IDE cannot debug.

  Why the plugin is unable to wait for the reset? Can it be fixed?

  I was able to replicate this and it will apply to less than 5.0 BlackBerry device software.  Here is what actually happens:

  Debug as-> device BlackBerry deploys the application on your BlackBerry Smartphone and attaches it to the debugger.  However, replacing the application can cause the device reset, which disconnects the debugger.

  The workaround is to uninstall the existing application (Options, Applications) prior to a "Debug As-> BlackBerry Device", which will prevent the reset.

  I forwarded this question to our development team for resolution in a future release of the BlackBerry Java plug-in for Eclipse.  It was recorded in the handler incidents here: https://www.blackberry.com/jira/browse/TOOL-161

• BlackBerry Smartphones BBM Voice Chat with Blackberry devices

  I use the last BBM on my Bold 9900 with o/s fully updated.

  I noticed that since the BBM for Android and Apple launched, I can't voice chat features for my non-Terminal contacts BlackBerry.

  I am connected to wifi. When my blackberry contacts are in wifi areas, I see the Green notification turned on in the upper right of their profiles but all my contacts non-blackberry device are grayed out still.

  I was just wondering if they have this ability yet and if so, why could I get this question?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer.

  Kind regards

  Hello DrFever.

  I do not work for Blackberry, but I know that BBM for iOS and Android features are limited compared to the Blackberry Version. They have only cat features, with video and voice, expected sometime next year. I hope this helps!

• BlackBerry smartphones another question concerning the size of microSD for bb8310 max

  Hi all...

  I'm such a wet behind the ears starting the bb8310, even very specific graphs given in a previous post raises questions for me.

  The table that was given:

  BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 - up to 2 GB
  BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 - Up to 4 GB
  BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 - Up to 4 GB
  BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 - up to 8 GB
  BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 - up to 8 GB
  BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 - up to 16 GB

  Under options > advanced options > applications, my bb8310 says:

  Basic BB 4.2 applications

  System BB 4.2 software

  then the rest of the list as an attachment service, Messenger, video, brickbreaker, browser, notebook, etc., etc., all say bb 4.2.2.

  My BlackBerry 8310 is brand new... since yesterday... why would I receive a 4.2 old BONES?

  So... what I can run a 4 GB, or am I limited to 2 GB?

  Do you give such a concrete response,

  JO

  Hello

  If you plan to upgrade the operating system as soon as it comes out, you can save yourself money,

  Install the card 8 GB, the BB will recognize only 4 MB, due to your current operating system. When you upgrade,

  the full 8 GB will be recognized. It's that you have to buy a memory card.

  Please let me know if it helps!

  Thank you

  If you have any other questions please ask!

  If this is not the case, adjust the position by checking the post that answered your question!

  Thank you very much!

• Smartphones blackBerry MicroSD card question

  Hello people, new user of BB here.

  I would get a larger microSd card to load music on my turn.  Two questions: what the largest capacity card can be used and I did too, the really important speed rating?  It seems that most cards advertise speed 2 side - is fast enough?

  Thanks in advance,

  Lack of time here in Eastern PA today (Foulwx)

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  SD card capacity is determined by level OS you run... see this KB:

  • KB05461 Formats supported by the version of BlackBerry Device Software of card MicroSD

  As for the speed rating... I've not seen anything that deals with this, which makes me believe that the speed of the card is not the factor limiting.

  Hope that helps!

• 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.

  Without no doubt... but this isn't an authoritative answer. And you will not be able to receive replies by authorities here. Basically, upgraded the specs for OS 6.0 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.

• BlackBerry BlackBerry classic Classic questions of shipping

  I pre-ordered 14 Nov and my card was charged the same day.  I took the phone would be sitting on my desk the day of the launch, but so far no phone has arrived.  After many calls to Digital River, I am told that I can't cancel my order and they can't tell me when it will be available.  I saw several posts in the Forum of crackberry who ordered in December and have already received the.  This will be my model of BlackBerry 20th since 2004 and it turns out that more difficult to get... very frustrated... no point for a pre-order, if I can't get it.  TELUS has in stock and I could have in my hands already had I not pre-ordered.  The only option that Dr. gave me was to refuse the shipment... I work in a office building and is not an option for me.

  really want it before Christmas.

  HI @toddshillington

  For you, I can confirm that classic BlackBerry devices ordered through ShopBlackberry.com began shipping to France, with the rest to ship between Dec 22, 23, 26.  You will receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information once that your classic BlackBerry of ships. Thank you for your patience and understanding

• BBM BBM on a Blackberry Device OS 10 cannot INVITE BBM Anroid / IOS

  We need a NEW UPDATE for this case. BBM on a Blackberry Device OS 10 cannot INVITE BBM Anroid / IOS.

  Thank you

  Be aware of a very important some limitations and restrictions.

  First of all, this version, as you know already, is a developer version... so there are a lot of functions that is intentionally disabled. In addition, this version includes a restriction anti-secours, which means that you cannot fall back to 10.3.2 or earlier and now must wait for a version of future production 10.3.3 to reactivate all things are paralyzed.

  I hope that this device is not your daily driver... for most of those who have installed the developer version of 10.3.3 eventually regret. One thing can work better, but also many others turn to fail. I hope that your experience will not reflect what has happened to most of the others.

  Good luck!

• Size wallpaper for blackBerry devices

  is there a source for the size of wallpaper for BlackBerry devices?

  PS: also where can I terminals BlackBerry AU profiles?

  See the BlackBerry Theme Builder - 5.0 - User Guide, all different sizes are there...

• BlackBerry 10 that I really need Blackberry devices:

  1. where a word in a text is selected (or highlighted), the menu floating (cut, copy, paste, select, share) completely covers both (I named it) the-blue-circle-insertion-point-virtual-handle. Disable the user's ability to select exactly what text (or string) to highlight. Suggestion: Please separate the location of the-blue-circle-insertion-point-virtual-handle from the location of the floating menu.

  2 The-blue-circle-insertion-point-handle cannot be touched or moved if located near the corner of the screen. Suggestion: enlarge the circle of blue-insertion-point-handle.

  3. the user can select (or highlight) any details (or text, or string or number) displayed in contacts (or directory). The user must "change" everything first to be able to select (or highlight). This requirement is too inconvenient. And risk of unintentional or accidental change to details. suggestion: make all the details or text in the phone book (or contacts) selectable.

  4. bring convenience keys! BlackBerry Bold 9000 has 2 of them. Where are they now? I want the return of the convenience keys.

  5 bring bbm surveys ability to save bbm chat in a .csv file. That the history of cats is vital, I repeat: VITAL in all communications of the transaction. And this story cat .csv file MUST be exported directly to your PC via a connection cable USB simple. As when the user connect Blackberry to a host computer. The computer recognizes the Blackberry device. And the user can view all history files cat .csv via the computer screen. BRING IT BACK!

  6 do the same thing to point 5 for contacts. make all contacts to Blackberry device easy to export. 1 contact, a single .vcf file.

  7 continue to make inquiries. Investigations as is our, us, serious user only how to tell you guys that we really need.

  8. this text box in this deeper investigation. This text box is too shallow.

  9. - application of shortcut. Yes! shortcuts shortcuts shortcuts.

  10 stop merging or linking contacts in the phonebook. Please, put an end to this function.

  11 saying, I have a friend named 'KUMAR', I add its PIN bbm in bbm application, he accepts, we chat via bbm, everything works it is good. Then KUMAR appears in my BB (or contacts app) directory, that's fine. Then I opened its contact information in the directory of BB, I clicked on edit, I type its phone number in the "phone number" field text box. And then I clicked on save, it's great. But when I open BBM app and remove KUMAR, KUMAR disappears also from my book, it isn't very GOOD. I want the details of KUMAR rest in my phonebook even after I remove his contacts in BBM app.

  12 make this BB device capable of recording the voice call conversation.

  13 fry the trackpad.

  14 bring back button menu blackberry.

  15 bring 'BACK' button.

  16 bring the green phone button and and allows the use of Red Cross.

  17. why there are no 'copy' function (or floating button) when a text field address postal (in the Directory / contact app) is active (or update). Hey, I want to stick a long address here.

  18 now you Blackberry have "save / cancel / discard" floating options I, a user edit a contact information. It's neat. But it will be much much better to give this floating options (or each floating options in BB), a shortcut. For example. I hit the "D" key, it's a "gap". Press key "S" to "Save." And press the 'C' key to "Cancel".

  19 provide a standalone install drivers bluetooth for pc offline in your Web site to us users can synchronize our computers with our blackberries and easily explore the Bb devices via bluetooth.

  20 BB system uses open spaces of storage inside the memory of the device. And the system of the space grows large after each update. The next update, please reduce or shrink the storage space occupied for BB system.

  21 all night mode. Yes everything. Including the concentrator, the request to 'remember', everything. background color of this thing getting dark. It's low profile. Energy saving. And looks very cool.

  22. the change the default font in something that sets apart the look between the capital letter "capital I" and "L".

  23 shortcuts to restart the device. When I press the left "alt" button, key 'shift right' and 'delete' button at the same time, I want that the device must be restarted immediately, regardless of the current status of the device.

  24. built in ability to screenshot by pressing two buttons at the same time.

  Many of the items in your list have been resolved or added.

  1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24

  Some of your suggestions, I do not understand.

  Good luck.

• I could develop Java Application for Blackberry device software version 5.0 to 6.0 JDE

  Hi, expert,

  I saw this line of the ' BlackBerry Java Development Environment - 4.7.0 - fundamentals Guide'.

  It is said:

  ===============================

  With each major version of the BlackBerry Device Software and the FMV of BlackBerry, Research In Motion includes the
  corresponding Java API and version of the BlackBerry® Java® development environment. The version of the BlackBerry device
  Software determines the version of the BlackBerry® integrated development environment that you can use to develop
  applications. For example, RIM released BlackBerry Device Software version 4.0 and BlackBerry JDE version 4.0 in even
  time. BlackBerry JDE version 4.0 supports APIs that were introduced in BlackBerry Device Software version 4.0
  and BlackBerry JVM version 4.0.

  The applications that you create by using BlackBerry JDE Version 4.0 only work on BlackBerry devices
  running BlackBerry Device Software version 4.0 or later.

  =========================

  The last sentence talking about version 4.0 of JDE. I think that would mean that I could not develop a java application on JDE 6.0 for Blackberry 5.0 version of the software, even if I do not use any new API to 6.0. However, it seems to me that it is a useless limitation. Could someone throw some lights on it?

  I'm going to agree with superdirt here.

  I have the 5.0 OS update of applications work well on OS 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 of the OS OS phones.  I try not to recompile for levels of the OS, if I can, and so far I've been perfectly safe with OS 5.0 running on the later levels of the operating system.  So you should be able to get away with just using OS 5.0.

  Not that it is important for you, but I just thought I documents some historical information about level changes.  .

  As far as I know it 2 change cod in the file format, one to the 4.0 OS and the other in OS 4.2.  Therefore, if you want to run anything in OS 6.0 or above, it must be compiled in OS 4.2 or higher.  Again, I have applications compiled to OS 4.2 running on OS 6.0, without no problem devices.

  There have been changes to the API - the result is that the code that works in OS xx does not work in OS yy where yy is after xx.  I hit a few of them and have so far managed to rework the code so that it works very well on both levels of the operating system.  In general it is things that I do wrong anyway, as the older operating systems (from memory) are not as strict on when the event Thread must be used.

  The problem with OS 4.7 compatibility is an impact and to get more of this, for devices touch screen only, I compile using OS 4.7.  If an application that uses only the functionality that was available in the OS 4.2, I compile on OS 4.2 for non touch screen phones and OS 4.7 for touchscreen phones.  And everything works fine.

  I hope this helps.
