BlackBerry smartphone malware possible?

A square with diagonal arrow in the upper right corner of my phone keeps on appearing even though I'm not browsing or using any application that requires an internet connection. I usually only see it when I'm browsing or downloading something, but now it just keeps showing as its tries to connect to the internet or download something, even if my phone is idle. What could this be? Help, please.

It is not malware - no malware as you reference never found on BlackBerrys (although once it's through a provider of mobile services in Saudi Arabia, Etisalat, but it has been deleted).

What you see is data from routine... it could be a weather app or something, any application that you have installed and that you have not "closed" completely, or have installed and running in the background as expected.

Without knowing what applications you have installed, it is impossible to say anything.

  • BlackBerry smartphones is possible "OS Installation without specific service provider.

    Guys,

    Is it possible to reload the Blackberry OS without specifying the service provider and the location of where the device would be used and, if possible.

    Please send your contribution/guide/support.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can charge a BlackBerry phone with an operating system of any company in the world.  You choose the carrier then choose which version of the operating system you want.  However, in order to proceed, you must provide a name and an address.  According to legal practice, I'll suggest that provide you specific details when you complete the form, but as you well know, we're not here to watch you when you fill out.

    So to answer your question, you need to specify a carrier but it doesn't have to be yours and location you provide must be accurate.

    I hope that helps you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones is possible Wifi on the 8310 Curve?

    Hello

    I'm in the United Kingdom.  My service provider is O2.  They tell me that it should be possible to connect to my Wifi at home.  It doesn't seem to be an option to do this on my phone.  Is it because this model (8310) does not have this capability?  Or am I missing something?

  • BlackBerry smartphones is possible to upgrade my Bold 9000 that is unlocked and I have no carrier?

    BB 9000

    Current operating system - v4.6.0.282
    Used Rogers, now using BB especially for WiFi, photos, calendar, notes, music
    Using 7/11 Speak Out for the phone's antenna.

    Due to SIGNIFICANT budget constraints and a newer phone smart (No BB) dying, I'm back to my workhorse of 9000 "BOLD"!

    Would like to pass so I can download most current applications, I see that you have need of blessing and access

    a business to do so. Gee, download CD or the internet, would be a good way to upgrade my 9000 "BOLD" instead.

    I am a long time BB user and it would be nice to always support BB... are you listening Blackberry / RIM?

    Any other ideas of the forum on how to get an upgrade solution would be greatly appreciated.

    PS - This is my first post on the forum.

    Follow these steps:

    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

    Tip: I suggest this because they offer the OS 5.0 for 9000:

    https://swdownloads.BlackBerry.com/downloads/entry.do?code=1141938BA2C2B13F5505D7C424EBAE5F

    2. it's not bad to do a manual of your device first, backup using the Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. You can get the BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    3. download the OS from step 1 of the file on 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." Also, check the following locations for the vendor.xml file and delete all instances of the file:

    On Windows Vista/7, go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research in XML Motion\BlackBerry\Loader (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

    On Windows XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application is In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

    5 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 go to the next step.

    6. plug the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader

  • BlackBerry smartphones is possible to get contacts will appear on schedule in the BB?

    New in BB / seeks to know whether there is a way to get contacts that sync to Blackberry (from Outlook) will appear on the calendar entry in Blackberry.  I can't seem to find how - begins to wonder if she just cannot be done.

    Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    Your question is unclear to me.

    Yes, you can sync contacts Outlook to the BlackBerry. Use of Desktop Manager > Sync.

    Appears in a calendar entry? As you can schedule a meeting with a contact and have it show in the calendar entry?

    Yes, create a calendar and even if, in the editing for this entry window > press Menu > invite participants.

    Select your contact, and the device will send to your contact the calendar invite.

    Is this what you need?

    • KB19641 How to configure a BlackBerry smartphone as a modem attached to a Mac

    Note carefully please that this feature requires your service plan to include the ability... not all levels of service include plan, and not all carriers offer. In addition, sometimes additional software for your computer must be obtained from the carrier. But, carrier specific questions should be directed to the carrier... here, we can only give you the credits information... your operator must provide you with all of the specific information required.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones frozen at startup. Need help as soon as possible.

    Woke up this morning to find my Torch 9800 had run out of battery is completely dead. When I tried to charge the phone, the start screen came as normal, but it froze when he got up to a certain point, I took out the battery and replaced it after 30 seconds, the phone began to restart and then frozen at the same point.

    I reinstalled the OS on my Blackberry Desktop and have tried this several times today, but it freezes always at the same point, after about 20-30 minutes to let the phone finally very slowly her!

    I was wondering if someone can help me? At the moment my phone is completely useless to me because it froze again.

    A couple of days, that my blackberry was showing messages telling me that I had to close the web pages because the memory was full, I just ignored this message but don't know if its has contributed to the problem?

    All answers are appreciated.

    You probably (I suppose) have a third-party application or theme do something.

    Try to start the machine up in Mode without failure.

    Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode

    Once started in safe mode, remove/uninstall third-party applications and themes. And then try to restart again normally.

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Is this true? And delays in updating a hint of the near end of the BlackBerry smartphones?

    It is possible. But if you stay on BES, you cannot remove the it policy... you have to work with your BES admins to solve the problem.

    If you are not on BES, you must first check if you have a latent policy on board:

    If you have one, then this is the only method to remove:

    Beware you warnings... it's completely destructive to everything you have on your device now, then you must know how to recover from that after the withdrawal of the policy. If you choose to use the backup/restore as your method of recovery, so make sure you do selective and not wholesale... If you restore databases who say company policy or something similar, then you just put it on your device policy, and be right back where you started.

    1. how to restore the Mail app?

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot-~ 5 minutes...
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.
