• Possibility of blackBerry Smartphones to have some number of rings when the phone is "off" or "quiet"?

  When I turn my phone 'off' or 'calm' ring, I'd love to be able to program the phone for that comes from any call from my wife, while all other ring at all.  Any way to do it?  Thank you

  When your phone is 'off' no call will happen, but you can have the ringtone and following will continue to apply.

  When the profile is defined for you calm down can have important calls pass: scroll to profiles > click on > scroll down > advanced > scroll down for important calls > touch menu > you can create a new exception or use the s 'important call' a > edit > add a contact in the top bar, for example, your wife, you can also choose a ringtone custom for important calls.  Now, even if the phone is set to silent or vibrate, the important call will ring through.

  Hope this helps you.

• BlackBerry Smartphones looking for backup file BlackBerry IPD Category Descriptions

  Hello world

  For the life of me. I can't seem to find the list of category descriptions listed in a *. IPD backup file.

  What I basically want to do, is to isolate the sound patterns (alerts) and * NOT * have the backup file wipe out the original default patterns that are loaded with a clean installation of the BlackBerry Device Software.  Also, that the list description would come very handy for future restorations!

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

  Thank you!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Hmmm... Category descriptions... I'm not quite positive which is... maybe it's databases? If so, here's a knockout that lists those:

  • KB03974 List of all databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

  I'm guessing that your tent a selective restore of certain databases rather than restore complete. What happens, however, is the replacement of the complete database indeed... regardless of the database that is located on the device is is replaced by what is in the IPD file. For some databases, there are tricks to merge the data that can be undertaken - for most messages, calendar, contacts and tasks... 'the organizer' standard databases, but I don't know the method to merge the databases of configuration (as well as alert profiles).

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Can I edit my Contact list of my PC?

  When I connect my BB 9800 to my laptop I don't see the list of contacts on my BB using Windows Explorer.  I would like to be able to do this because my Contact list only contains phone numbers (a report of my previous cell phone) and I want to add email addresses.  I have a lot of entries to change and it would be difficult with the keys of BB.

  If I can't do it while only connected to my BB is there a way I can do a "Contact list" on my PC and then export it to my BB?  Thank you, Peter

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  A few things to discuss... so bear with me...

  (1) contrary to others how things, RIM does not provide desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  (2) RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  (3) If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

  • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
  • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

  So your choice is, IMO, to continue to use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO)... then choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

• BlackBerry Smartphones entity synch with multiple contacts folders

  I have a Bold 9700.

  I am running Oulook 2007 on my laptop.

  I've been synchronize my contacts in Outlook with my 9700 without problem, using Blackberry Desktop Manager.

  However, I've now split my contacts in Outlook in two separate folders; one of my personal contacts and one for my business contacts.

  When I try to synchronize now manually, the Desktop Manager only reads my personal contacts and and asks him to remove all of my business contacts - who have been moved out of this folder within Outlook, in the new business.

  Q. How can I set up a second business, the record on my 9700 so that both folders will be synchronized when I then connect to Desktop Manager, please?

  With thanks a lot

  Ok. Large. very simple.

  Thank you very much.

• Lost blackBerry Smartphones phone - how to transfer contacts?

  Help.

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  What you need to do is to find, on your PC, the IPD file created when you backed up. Search your entire hard drive *. IPD. Then use this file as the source of a restoration of your new BB (choose ONE of these KB, depending on the version of the RIM Desktop software you have already installed on your PC):

  • KB23680 How to back up and restore data from BlackBerry using BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0 smartphone

• BlackBerry smartphone how to change view Contact to see category / group records only

  Hi everyone, just got my first BlackBerry.

  The Bold (9000) is the best screen.

  To be honest, I was anti-BlackBerry when they first came out.

  Did not like the feel of plastic.

  Now that the "BOLD" is here, and for some time, finally I turned.

  After using it for only a week, I must say, I am very impressed and now intend to continue to use it.

  I will also continue to have a second very basic phone.

  I thought that most of the things, even added many additional services, most of them style of Google.

  SE BIS, soon change BES to access our new SBS Exchange work.

  Even some of the most difficult functions, services and settings can be solved for me.

  I do not work in a dealership take Optus, mainly focused on business.

  On the issue...

  Is it possible to get your hands (first / default) connect with view to display the 'files' only category.

  I really wish I could open my contacts, select my category, then search.

  For me, it would be so much easier.

  For example. CONTACTS-Office-Steve

  or CONTACTS-family-MOM

  or CONTACTS-friends-David

  or CONTACTS-Optus-Wireless Technical Support

  This would save search me, especially since some contacts may have a different name, then I expect first (for example, 'hundreds' of Optus numbers, can be 'Pre-activation ULL' or 'Fixed installation support line')

  I guess he will have to show contacts that have not been assigned to a group (category).

  If these contacts have been enumerated below the category records, it would be ideal (for me).

  Perhaps, even if there was a possibility to classify them with the records of the category FIRST then all contacts in alpha?

  I know that a contact can be assigned to several categories (very useful).

  If this isn't an option, are there any recommended additional applications that can do this?

  I hope as clean and efficient as BlackBerry original aps.

  A few years ago, I used a Windows based mobile/PDA.

  To get more out of it, I also installed several aps SPB.

  Ultimately if an additional access point is required and is not free (IE must buy), it would really need a trial period.

  Thanks to anyone for ANY Advisor.

  I'm happy to be part of a more professional group.

  Ian

  This option as a view is not available on the BlackBerry, and I'm not aware of any third-party application to do, there could be.

  One option would be to name all your groups in such a way that they would appear first in your Contact list.

  As instead of naming a group of 'Friends', you would be the name "." See list Friends"with a period at the beginning, which will force this group name to the top of the Contact.

• BlackBerry Smartphones reboot for more than 2 hours is this normal?

  I have the 8520 and earlier today, he said that there is an update available for bbm. I installed the update and it told me to restart the phone, I did three hours ago. The home screen is there, but is completely frozen is this normal? Please help I bought this phone 5 days ago and it's really bugging me,

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Thus, the reboot took 2 hours? Or it restart but the home screen is frozen? These are two totally different situations.

  However, with the power on, please remove the battery again. Leave it for at least 10 minutes. Then put back in and wait through the restart - at least 20 total minutes (maybe a little more... "I wait 15 minutes after the reboot is complete before judging whether it is frozen or not).

  If this fails, I recommend to start safe mode and delete what you have installed just before it started:

• BlackBerry Smartphones sorry for the trouble, but a matter of encryption

  I know I've read several posts on the topic, but it's still not not clear to me. It is once require you encryption of the microsd card, can I copy these files from the blackberry on your desktop? Y at - it magical that must be done in order to.

  Thank you

  Yes, you can copy the files over, however they are always encrypted.

  You must remove the encryption on the card in the BlackBerry smartphone first, and then move the files, so that they can be used.

• BlackBerry Smartphones combine phone and gmail contacts?

  Hello, I recently downloaded my gmail contacts on my BB and now all my email contacts are mixed with my contacts from phone (most of them are also under the same name). It makes it much harder to make a simple phone call or email to someone - is it possible to combine a phone contact and e-mail into one? Thank you!

  I was wondering the same thing.  What a PITA.

  I think that initially when you configure Gmail on the BB, it prompts you to decide whether or not you want to synchronize contacts (from Gmail).  I think that if this box is left unchecked, it would not have imported all the contacts of Gmail in the list of Contacts [phone].

  If you want to delete your Gmail from your torch, then re-setup Gmail account and make sure you don't synchronize contacts, maybe he should correct the problem.

  If you delete Gmail, it cannot automatically remove all Gmail contacts in your Contacts list.  You might need to open the full menu in the contact list, select Select a list of Contacts..., choose Gmail, then delete each individual contact gmail.
