BlackBerry smartphone brand new Blackbury user. lot of questions

Hello.

I just got the Blackberry curve 8330 yesterday.  I understood a lot about using the guides and reading the posts on here but I have a few questions, some may be stupid.  I hope that I don't ' have too much for you guys... lol

(1) for the loading and the phone is or off.  Is there a way to do beep or something.  I hate watching to see if the light is flashing, or hit the screen when turned on to see if the loading icon bit has disappeared.   I know I'm picky about a few things... lol

(2) where, in the call logs.  Is there a way to delete more than one message or text at a time.  Sometimes I'm lazy and don't ' delete them as they arrive or I emailed them but wait.  My old phone (nothing as fancy as a blackberry) you can select an option to delete everything.

(3) the speaker.  how far do you have to have the phone away from you and ask the person to hear you again? (says they could be stupid questions... lol)

(4) is it OK to keep the card media permanently.  I mean how do you know when you want to shoot a video or more pictures, then it may take?

OK, I think that's all for the moment... lol

(1) no way to have a beep when the BlackBerry is responsible. And its going good to load it when its on.

(2) to messages, press ALT + P. This allows to display phone calls. You can delete multiple at once here entries.

(3) I guess it depends on how hard you're talking about.

(4) Yes its okay to leave the card in all the time. I never leave my memory card.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones active new SIM - now phone SOS only

    Hi all. Have a little problem. I had to go back to an old 9700 When my current iPhone broke. I needed a new card SIM from the iPhone using a different card. When I called Rogers to activate the SIM everything was fine for about a minute. I received texts that were pending since Sunday when my iPhone broke. I had full bars etc. Once a minute, he went to SOS only. While I was on the phone with Rogers Tech Support I have reset and removed the battery and SIM and all the things they wanted me to. Everything looks good on their system, he said that the problem must be with the device.

    A bit on the device:

    Originally with Mobilicity in 2009. Opened and used with the wind. My father then used with Rogers and Fido. Since Sunday, when my phone broke, I used SIM card of my brother-in-law (he just swung at Rogers to the wind, but his plan has always been paid until the end of September) and the BB worked very well. If it worked correctly with a Rogers SIM.

    Now, I get the same problem with my brother-brother SIM. SOS only. No connection. What happened when active Rogers SIM card must have done something to the camera itself because now it does not connect to any of them. That both SIMs work as I have tested both in my wife's phone.

    The guy on the Support of Rogers suggested that perhaps the closed phone itself - but when I enter the settings advanced for the SIM card that everything is disabled in customization... so it appears not to be locked.

    He said that I should try to reinstall the OS, but that it will block the phone and I need to unlocked again.

    Is there anything else it could be? Will reinstall the OS relock the phone? Any other suggestions?

    Thank you very much!

    First this... avoid this tech Rogers like the plague. He has no idea what he's talking about. All what he told you is simply not possible. Once MEP unlocked, a BB device can blocked at the factory. Nothing of what you have done or the facilities of any OS can relock a BB.

    I'd rather a complete security on the Device Wipe:

    • KB14058 How to delete all data and applications in the smartphone BlackBerry using the security option wipe

    Otherwise, a ResetToFactory WIPE:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    After each one, put it in the SIM card and switch on the device, and then make sure that the voice is through Rogers. Only then start to worry about getting all the data to work (if you subscribe BIS, in other words).

    If you want to get off the OS Reload path, then the easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do this on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below. (not applicable in your situation)

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

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

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. 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

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

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

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise 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.

    You may also use these tips:

    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:

    Yes, the device switch Wizard has two devices so that he can have an up-to-date backup. But, if you have a recent backup, then the previous BB shouldn't be necessary. See this KB:

    Yes, options > screen/keyboard > backlight. Why? To save the batteries and hold the button to a roar of low complaints about poor battery life.

    Yes, Options > Auto on / off, your adjust as desired.

    (3) what is a "case"? It appears in numerous menu but not in the glossary

    The leathery pouch Holster or belt that comes with many devices, in the package. In the case for a real BlackBerry OEM Holster, there is a magnet inserted that the power 'sleep' save the battery life AND allows many more parameters in your profiles.

    (4) is there a table somewhere that says what all the status symbols are on the homescreen?

    Some appear and then left and I don't know what they were for.

    Yes, in your manual are some.

    (5) is that the blinking light on top of any use other than to show that I always get a signal? Which is already illustrated by th bars.

    Yes, the LED is adjustable and NOT blink at the moment (green means that you have coverage), but also to Flash in red to send or notifications you receive, if you wish.

    (6) on my old phone the light was going to missed calls or missed reminders while I was away from my phone. Are there

    a way to say, or what I have to check each time I come back?

    The red LED is adjustable for this.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones help - new user of BB - how can I get a list of calls made/received?

    I spent all day looking for an icon to click on the list of my calls (both crazy and received) but have no icon call log or anything like that at all! I loaded the CD that came with my BB 8900 (I only got 4 days) and he said I should have an option to purchase journal somewhere, but I can't. I tried to change the theme and restore the default values, but still nothing. Certainly there must be an icon or a graphical call center?

    I showd my sister on the phone today and it also has a BB, but she said, my call list icon is missing!

    Really grateful for any help that I am perplexed.

    Hurrah - thanks a lot - I feel a * beep *! I don't could not find anywhere!

    Thank you very much

  • BlackBerry smartphones into new device with Blackberry ID, what happens if I send Messages using my old camera (, who were not fired yet) BBM with WiFi only?

    Hello. Greetings. I have a question that is quite tricky and can not understand of I'vedone research on the internet with different keywords. So here's my situation:

    0. my old phone is Blackberry Bold 9780. Last OS I use is Blackberry 7.0 I think (already have Wi - Fi free call)

    1. I bought a new phone, Sony Xperia Z1. I opened the BBM on it. Then I entered Blackberry ID , I've used previously.

    2. after entering my Blackberry ID, I got transferred all BBM stuff in my Xperia Z1, including the contacts and groups that I have in my Bold 9780.

    3. I just tested for send messages in my Xperia Z1 BBM contact list and ask which showed my PIN. He said that only displayed a new (7xxxxxx), instead of my old one (2xxxxxx).

    4. Meanwhile, since I bought Xperia Z1, I have kept my old phone Bold 9780 without wiping or same nothing change and just leave it as its last condition without SIM card (it says "Insert SIM card"). Since I never used data connections , I still have my old BBM chats and contacts in there.

    5. my 5 year old son accidentally use my Bold 9780 of BBM and sent a lot of messages in people in contacts of the Bold 9780 BBM, although he did not use the SIM card. And Yes, the messages he sent chat appears with the icon of the clock (pending to be delivered). But I really hope that the messages will not be sent because the words are not necessary to read.

    Question (s):

    * What happens if I turn on my Wi - Fi connection for my Bold 9780?

    * Will be messages sent from my Bold 9780?

    * Should I just immediately remove contacts on BBM to my Bold 9780? (because I know all the messages I've sent to people will be deleted as well if I delete their contact, and it works)

    * ... And last confusion is, if I have to delete my Bold 9780 BBM contacts, should I remove my Z1 xperia as well since I use the same Blackberry ID to avoid messages sent in other?

     

    Really need the help. Thanks for your time.

    Best regards

    Hi Brown

    Welcome to the community

    -nothing will happen if you turn on wifi. You can able to browse the internet, but you will not be able to use BlackBerry data services.
    -No, the messages will not be delivered as there is no sim card and your BBM contacts were automatically transferred to the mobile network to your new phone.
    -no need. It not there no more account BBM in your old. You're good, no worries.

    We hope this helps. Good luck.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones im new! BBM

    Hi every1 im new blackberry can someone please explain how to use bbm and what about this thing brooch as well as windows?

    1 BlackBerryMessenger is essentially a method of communication to other BlackBerry users via the BBM application, like a chat. BBM employs an exclusive PIN communication of BlackBerry to transmit data back and is quite immediate.

    2 pine, is a unique identification of your BlackBerry, including eight alphanumeric characters found in Options > status on your device.

    3 scanning? I assume you mean of scanning a bar code to join a Chat group for BBMessenger?

    Can you explain more what you're looking for?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones getting new BB Protect number for my phone

    Protect my bb can not download on my phone, as it has already been downloaded (not by me).

    Now, I don't have the feature of bb protect. Can I be reissued with a new number IM for my phone so that I can download and make use of the bb protect feature on my phone?

    Your carrier is wrong when they say that its been downloaded already on another device and that is why you can not download. I don't know why they say that, but that's not true.

    When you download BlackBerry Protect, it should not ask you for your PIN or any code. The only time where he should require any entry is the first time you open (it may ask you to enter your email BlackBerry ID and password, but that's all).

    Instead of download via the icon on your screen, open BlackBerry App World and search for BlackBerry Protect there Download BlackBerry App World. At least that can offer an alternative method. If you still have problems to make it work, please let me know.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones has new Curve?

    Hello world!

    I had just a small question

    so its time for a new blackberry and I love the curve series, and I was wondering if he had plans for a new curve (for AT & T) at any time in the near future. I don't want to buy one and get a new one out shortly after!

    It would be great if they could add the record video and wifi at the 8310... but I guess this would make just TOO perfect, huh? =]

    Thank you!!

    Sorry Tanzim on wifi. I read an article of innacurate or I just misread it.

    ilsb2m, release date depends on your operator. As of now I heat At & t is supposed to release sometime in September.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones purchased new "BOLD" seems today - opportunity.

    Issue.

    When I received my box of the store today, it looks like its been closed several times, I opened it more and there are bubbles under the screen - removed the portector screen protector, lit.

    Here's my question - is there pre made or not because there is a blackberry message dated July 17 for recording blackberry 0190 AM and one for today (when I first turned it on).

    Is this normal or do I go back and get a new one?

    I paid $ 750 for a phone that could have been used.  Thank you for the answers, but I don't understand how someone can continue to use something that was not "new".  How do you know if the person has used the phone for more than 6 months and they decide to camera flash and whipe out the timers of life on all the data/autonomy.  I mean it could have been a demonstration for a provider or something unit.  As far as I'm concerned its timers of life represent the same thing as a mileage of cars.  In any case, this issue has been resolved - I returned the phone since and got a full refund.

    Thanks for the replies.

  • BlackBerry smartphones with new "BOLD" - desperate Please HELP restore historical Email with BES

    Hi all

    This is my first post. I'd appreciate any help that anyone can provide. I use a BB 8800 GSM for 2 years and was just delivered a new BB Bold 9000 GSM. I use it mainly to work with our email of the company, as well as for the address book and shared agendas. My company uses Exchange 2003 and Blackberry Enterprise Server, which I can only guess is 4.0 or 4.1. I am

    As I said, I use the BB for work and like having my available historical email because I often need to find old emails when not in the office. I saved the 8800 using the SW Desktop Manager v4.6. I also did a switching device using the DM software, while both devices were connected to my laptop via USB. He successfully restored data on the "BOLD". However on the "BOLD" I can't send or receive e-mails with my work email. I can make calls, send text, browse the web, send email from my Yahoo account which is also configured with the BB.

    I also connected to Blackberry Internet service page and updated my device on the wireless network and updated the maintenance book. This helped my account Yahoo work on the BB. However, I am still without corporate e-mail.

    My question is do I have my BES administrator to make a change on the BES? He needs to make an enterprise activation? If Yes is there a way to make the EA and always keep my historical data via Desktop Manager backup & restore process?

    If the BES administrator needs to do an environmental assessment can anyone provide detailed instructions so that I can help him or tell him in the right direction? He believes he needs to delete my account and create a new one. I was told it may need only to update or change the PIN associated with my profile.

    Any help or input would be appreciated especially experiences BES administrators. If you need more information or have any questions please fire away.

    Thanks in advance!

    You connect the BlackBerry to your work PC when you have used the device switch Wizard? If so you are invited to implement using PIN code (in bold) of the new device, and then generate a new encryption key? If yes then which should have completed the activation process to activate the "BOLD".

    If this does not happen your IT Department can issue you a new password to activate. After they do that you just have to go into Options | Advanced options | Enterprise activation and enter your corporate email address and the password, they give you, click your menu button, then choose activate. This will activate the "BOLD" to receive your business data.
