BlackBerry new Smartphones come into the world of blackberry...

... so please be gentle with me

I just joined the world of blackberry with a Curve 8520 and have some very simple questions that I see not listed in the FAQ

First of all, as a veteran of the PC and Intel server world, I am always very reluctant to update things like PC BIOS and updates of operating system even without good reason, but I suspect on my BB, that the OS is a bit outdated, as it was delivered. When I am connected to Desktop Manager for the first time, he gave a huge long list of updates that were available.

So the first simple question is - is it safe and the thing that is normally done to keep EVERYTHING up-to-date, or do you tend to follow the philosophy "only update if something is broken? And what are the risks of updating? They don't? Failures are recoverable? I don't want to end up with a handful of useless crushed raspberries...

Another quick question is on Wi - Fi - if I am in an area where I have a mobile network connection AND a WiFi connection, which takes preference for things like browsing the web? I expected to be abe to set up some sort of priority, but through a Wi - Fi connection if the signal is there? What happens if there is no network connection mobile - things to work with JUST a Wi - Fi connection and which rely on a mobile network? I guess, for example, that BBM uses mobile network services and does not work over Wi - Fi?

Thanks in anticipation...

I have updated to 6 DM and have had no problem.

The interface is different on the new version and you may need to look in different areas.

But for the most part, it works for the most part the same.

Best bet is to just play with it and see if you like it, otherwise, you can re-download the 5.0

  • BlackBerry Smartphones download of the world of the device applications

    Hi all, my BB torch will not download anything either form the world unit! itself to download the program, but never the download ends, how can I solve this problem and also remove what it started to download! Thank you

    Hello!

    I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3. for Storm/Pearl - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    4. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    5. return to the AppWorld. Connect to MyWorld (if there is one) and try again.

    I hope it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

    PS - it is AppWorld... no device world.

    Darksilver Hello,

    Please take a full backup using desktop software preconfigured and do a security wipe.

    Home screen > Option > security option > Security wipe > check emails and contacts (do not check memory card and 3rd aprty app). Type blackberry and click on clean up.

  • BlackBerry smartphones back to the world of BB - HELP

    Recently got the BB Storm 9500.  The 'Unlock' keyboard which was initially set with the phone has changed to the full keyboard.  When I put my password is on this original keyboard.  I need a translation of what 19031 is on the original keyboard.  I thought it was all the numbers, but it is not!  I'm about to get locked I have only 10 attempts!  Help!

  • Add the new hard drive into the data store in ESXi 4.1

    Hi all

    I got ESX 4.1 installed on the Dell server, and I have 3 virtual machines on a data store.

    I added a new 500 GB scsi hard drive to the server,

    and I need to add it to the datasore or create a new...

    How can I see this new hard drive? and add it to the data store?

    Waiting for your help.

    Abrams,

    That's all I can help you.  These instructions are based on the Perc 5 / i controller, which I think you have on our system.  You have not specified the server so I just assumed that this is so.

    1. unscrew the hot spare that you just made.  Follow this link from Dell.
    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1061343

    2 follow the link for the installation of virtual disks - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1069357

    This link has three steps to void, skip the step on "spare parts of designate hot."
    a. create the virtual disks and select virtual disk options.   -Online steps to create another disk group and add the new disk to the disk group.
    (b) designate the drives hot spares (optional). =>, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP
    c. initialize virtual disks. -online must do.  just do not initialize the incorrect disk.

    After the step #2 c, you should be able to access the drive in ESXi or command-line (list of nmp esxcli devices).

    And no, you cannot add this manaully until do you step #2 above which is to define the disk group, creating virtual disks and initialize the virtual disk.

    Good luck.

  • Problem with Simple Contact form fields do not come into the home.

    Hello

    The form of a Simple Contact on our site is not letting users enter their names and e-mail addresses.  The other fields for cell phone and Message are working well.

    I though this might be a problem with the hosting, but the site is hosted on Business Catalyst (badfishy.businesscatalyst.com).

    I created other test sites and insert the Simple Contact form which worked perfectly, so I'm not sure what I did to the main site to cause this problem.

    Any help would be appreciated muchly.

    See you soon

    Ben

    Hi Ben

    I checked the site and it seems that the frame of the accordion is extended to the covering page so 2 fields in form because of which fields are not active because they are behind the plot of the accordion.

    Please reduce the accordion framework such as the fields of the form are not behind the frame and then it should work.

    Thank you

  • Install the new hard drive into the Pavilion DV2660se - full-size unrecognized

    I have a Pavilion DV2660se and recently began to receive messages from failure on my hard drive.  I was able to order a replacement - it is the same model # former disc, same size, etc..  I installed the drive, then started the system with the recovery discs.  It has been chugging along now for about 3 hours. While the process was ongoing, I was able to look at the drive and to see that it is only accepted with 24 GB instead of the 250 GB is it really.

    Any suggestions on what I can do to install this player and have all recognized?  Thanks for the tips!

    Well, I'm back, don't ask me how, I can at least with all rebuild...

  • folder within outlook 2007 has mail but is not visible. It can be searched, but no visible new mail goes into the folder but cannot be seen.

    I use outlook 2007. I have a subfolder in my Inbox. It shows that I have mail in the folder, but I can't. He has worked in the past very well, and then all of a sudden I can't see mail read or unread folder. I see that mail is unread in the folder and I can look in that folder and find results but I can't see what is in this folder. Other subfolders work very well.

    I fixed the problem for the co-worker. I checked to see if there is a filter applied and it didn't say in the banner, but he had a applied. You know not why the banner in the right pane showed no filter has been applied, but in any case, I removed the filter. To remove the filter highlight the subfolder. I then went in the view menu, click current view. Click Customize current view. Click Filter and then press all clear and mail again became visible

  • BlackBerry smartphones anyone using VIP access with Paypal payment method in the world of BlackBerry?

    I'm in trouble. I suspect either BlackBerry World does not support two-factor authentication, or I'm doing something wrong. If you use with Paypal VIP access into the world of BlackBerry and to do with success, please tell me how you do it.

    Background...

    Today I received the error described at http://support.blackberry.com/kb/articleDetail?ArticleNumber=000036300

    I had created Paypal in BlackBerry World before I had activated two-factor authentication in Paypal, but I made purchases since then without problem, until today.

    I deleted Paypal but could not add it back.

    I found this old thread which shows the BlackBerry World does not have authentication to two factors, but this is an old thread and maybe things have changed.

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/downloaded-applications/problem-using-PayPal-in-app-world/TD-...

    I tried with just: password right and I tried with password and code added at the end of the password.

    Follow-up...

    Finally, it worked.

    Think about the possibility that BlackBerry World supports authentication two factor and that maybe I have do the procedure correctly, but maybe there is a temporary break in the system somewhere, I kept trying periodically.

    Finally, it worked. Even after moments before getting the same error, it finally worked.

    So, to confirm: If you configure paypal as method of payment in the world of BlackBerry, and you use two-factor authentication with paypal in conjunction with VIP access, enter your PayPal username and password and then add the authentication code on the end of your password.

    Suggestions if you get an error saying message try again later: wait a minute. Look for the code update and use this code immediately. Do not use a code that is subject to maturity; wait for a charge code and use it immediately. If you still get an error message, try again several times, with a charge code every time. If you still get an error message, wait a few moments and try again.
