BlackBerry Smartphone keyboard lock icon disappeared after upgrading to BlackBerry Device Software version 5.0

Greetings! -recently improved 8520 handset to the software device to 5.0 - all very well except that the icon I use most - the "Lock keyboard" icon has disappeared. Looked everywhere - icons hidden etc - no luck. Someone at - it a similar problem?

For the keypad lock icon, you must have a password enabled on the device.

You can lock the keypad by pressing the mute on the top of the unit.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone keyboard lock icon disappeared (curve 8520)

    Hello

    I have recently supported a Blackberry Curve 8520 - I noticed that, once I had connected to my PC via Blackberry Desktop Manager, the icon for the keyboard lock has been removed from the menu.  I looked in the obvious places in the Options to try to restore the icon but can't see anywhere that allow me to ths.  I was also looking for hidden objects, but nothing seems more to be hidden.

    Is it possible to restore the icon?

    Thank you all.

    You may update the software? The lock has changed in the latest versions of the software in all areas for the devices.

  • 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.

    I don't have the technical knowledge - no knowledge at all - so I can't explain why this solution, on the whole, worked:

    I disengaged the cellular network and then deleted the bbm application, then played reset material, re-installed the bbm on the BB site (not via appworld - doesn't like that), then disengaged the network once again, performed a hard reset, recommit to the network and everything returned to normal - the icon of bbm is alive again.

  • Smartphones blackBerry device software upgrade, does not (Bold 9930)

    Bold 9930, Verizon,.

    Everything was going well 5 hours ago. Backup and synchronization with Desktop Manager and everything was good. I clicked on the 'Device upgrade' link. He me everything first download and install the new Desktop Manager software. This seemed to work properly. Then it downloaded the new software device and conclusive to upgrade of the unit.

    7.1 bundle, 2705 (v7.1.0.991 platform 5.1.0.678)

    The Setup program indicates that the new software has been installed, and then it seems to want to reboot the device. The device never returns, ends with an App error 606.

    I loaded the cool device software, without change. Removed Software Desktop, loaded fresh, then loaded a fresh device software, without change.

    I tried to load my old device software but the Desktop Manager will not allow him.

    I reloaded software device 3 times, always the same behavior, always the same error at the end.

    I'm out of ideas.

    Any help?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    This bit is quite unusual... done correctly, you can force any OS on your BB package as long as it's your exact model number. So I'm not sure if you're really using all the good stuff... so, even if a lot of this will be redundant, please examine carefully for subtle tricks do you need to... done correctly, this can heal the situation. But any errors on the way (not ignored, stage not completed correctly, etc.) invalidates the whole process and translates the automatic process of support and limited to only the OS packages currently supported by your specific carrier.

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do 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.

    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:

  • Charging Curve 8900 Smartphones blackBerry device software

    Hi I have a problem with my Blackberry device software, how to remove and re intsal software on my Curve 8900?

    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:

    1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.

    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    2. make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    3. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

    4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."

    5. This step is not necessary unless there is a problem on the next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a full backup), then after you get the 507 error (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6

    6 remove the internet connection for PC and reboot the PC.

    7. plug the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.

    8. If you did step 5, restoration of the back upward. Follow this KB if necessary http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339

  • Differences between the version of BlackBerry Device Software and platform. Help, please...

    Hi guys!

    I'm really confused... Help, please!

    We have developed applications for our customers. We tested with our BB8700 and it works fine.

    We used JDE4.2 for development... and we think that it will work on v4.2 based handsets.

    But our customers wrote that it works on v3.7. Why? Is this possible?

    I looked at the information about my 8700 device and then noticed: v4.2.1.107 (platform v2.3.0.84)

    -What are the differences between the version of BlackBerry Device Software and platform?

    Possible customers spoke of version 3.7 of the platform?

    There is a list of the devices, where we can find the version of BlackBerry Device Software by BlackBerry device model?

    Or where we can find information about the models of devices that will support our application?

    Thanks in advance!

    AFAIK there is no version 3.7 platform.

    Customer talking about the OS version.

    So, if they have the device OS version 3.7 you must use JDE JDE 3.6, 3.7 or older.

    Or take updated device OS if the necessary software is available.

  • BlackBerry smartphone keyboard Lock GONE after update? What, no locking keyboard?

    That's right, a nightmare come true. I did the "necessary" updates last night and now my BB has NO available keyboard lock. What should I do? Anyone?

    Nightmare? Really?

    (This was reported of dozens of times already)

    Your previous lock icon is now only enabled when you have set a password on the device.

    If you have not set a password on the 85xx you can press on and hold the mute (on the upper part of the unit) to lock the keyboard. Or, you can press and hold down the a button * to lock.

    When you set a password, then your icon will return to the screen and is called Password Lock.

    Sweet dreams!
