BlackBerry smartphones a few questions on the Torch 9800

a friend recently gave me her old flame and I wiped it created a new BBID and deleted reinstalled BBM and it still does not work, I don't have a data plan but bbm should work on my home network. Another thing when adding an email, how do you find the "password for activation" this is my email password... any help would be appreciated

Hi James Gover.

I was a fanatic user of Torch 9800, 9810 (very similar), so I hope to be useful.

  • to open your mailbox, of course you need his password. Otherwise, someone could connect to it, which would be absurd.
  • If I were you, I wouldn't delete BBM: it's an integrated application. But normally, it is possible to re - download from BB world. I understand that you have done this. I tried to configure BBM with a friend who was a BB user, but we have no success. I admit that it is a relatively complicated application.

-Solutions:

  1. First, do a format of all the data on the BlackBerry. Before that, make sure that you have made a backup; You can do this with BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac or Windows 7.1, which you can find on the BB site (Software section of the home screen). So yes, format. In: Options/Security/safety cleaning (if I translate well to the french).
  2. Ask your provider or operator. In my case, I had a basic membership for this BlackBerry and an additional option (and even today still with a better subscription) "Option BlackBerry" for anything over the phone and SMS, so exactly BlackBerry Messenger and e-mail, at a cost of CHF 10. -

After having done these two things, I think you'll be ready!

  • How can blackBerry smartphones, you add music to the torch (and not via iTunes)

    I just got the Torch 9800.  I am trying to sync my music, I want to use as ringtones from a folder on my computer and can't figure out how.  When I first plugged the phone on the computer, I think that I have selected the parameter of storage; Although he kept flashing between the options that allow storage and the clock settings.  When I opened the device software and selected media on the Synchronize tab, I could only sync music from my iTunes library.  How do we install music from my folder on the computer?

    Are you able to create folders in the SIM card of the torch for ringtones and images that you install for use as wallpapers?  I could on the Curve 8330.

    Thank you.

    I didn't look in 'My Computer' on the computer to my phone.

    I tried to add the music through the desktop software; but I could only do so by using my iTunes.  I could not go into specific folders on the computer and add music manually.  I have my ringtones on the computer and I want that they the torch.

    Thanks, Krypto, I'll give it a try after work.

  • BlackBerry smartphones a few questions... Sorry so many questions...

    Hello. I just got my BB a week ago so I have a few questions. I've traveled the previous pages to see if my questions were already asked, but I didn't see it (at least not with the first 6 pages) so sorry if this is a repeat.

    1. If you add a song to your BlackBerry, as in iTunes list, can you use that as a ringtone too? Or not because he was transferred in a song and not a ringtone by itself?

    2. is there a way to watch videos online? From YouTube or other sites that require Flash?

    3. I currently have my left convenience as the phone lock, requiring a password to unlock it (not just the #* or whatever the generic unlock code). However, my phone is locked automatically after 1 hour (it's long, I could put it). Is there a way to disable the fact it locks automatically after 1 hour, but still have the password how to unlock my phone?

    4. is there a way to disable the key tones when dialing a number? Even when I'm on silent or vibrate, whenever I have to dial a number, the numbers still make noise.

    5. If you accidentally delete a text, is it possible to get it back? My old phone had the ability to browse the deleted texts.

    I think that's it... Thanks so much in advance!

    Hi and welcome to the forums,

    lets take one at a time:

    (1) you can use a song as a ringtone, go to music media, select the key to success menu song and choose set as ringtone.

    The song will not play like a ringtome just 4or 5 seconds of it.

    2) there are 3rd party apps that will allow you to which SOME videos, it depends on the format. I need to find the

    an I know, just do not remember the name right now

    (3) it is not an option to disable the timeout of security if you are using the password, type of sense if you think about it. I got mine because I'm on and outside it frequently the value for an hour. But I always manually lock it when I leave.

    (4) No, the keytones stay on, even in vibrate mode.

    (5) I have to watch this

    So I owe you a link and a response to 5.

    Please let me know if others answer your questions, and I will return with more information.

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones a few questions a new user

    I receive a Blackberry Curve 8300 for work using the Alltel network. I still use a BB, but I have to learn pretty quickly if I can help around our offices.

    I have a few questions

    1. each BB has wifi capabilities? Specifically the 8300? Specify this BlackBerry.com or alltel.com.

    2. can I change the layout of the buttons? I'd rather have all the buttons on the bottom of the screen instead of the side.

    3. it comes preloaded with a sort of mobile office applications? Outlook, word, etc. Or does with a BlackBerry version?

    4. What is the best app to sync with my PC to day/change settings/programs?

    Thank you!

    I installed BlackBerry Desktop Software 7.1 (twice from different sources) on my Windows 10 PC.

    The Blackberry is recognized, Windows Explorer opens and displays the files on drive F:\

    2 blackBerry Desktop Software is worrisome to running applications. 2013 Outlook gets an error after certain actions (I close it), same Excel application is destroyed.

    4. There are the 'BlackBerry Device Manager' three times running background processes.

  • Physical keyboard of blackBerry Smartphones does not not on new Torch 9800

    Hi, I got a new BB torch 9800 a few days ago and the physical keyboard does not work (and has never worked) when I slip out.  Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that I have to activate, or is likely to have a defect of the device?  (By the way, I downloaded the last updated and rebooted and took out the battery etc...)  Everything else seems to work very well.  Any help is appreciated!  Thank you

    @odonnec, if you have removed the battery while the phone is turned on and the keyboard still does not work, it would be a hardware defect and you should talk to your business to get a phone that works.

    @mikebrazil, try to remove the battery while your phone is on the replace and then a few seconds later.

  • BlackBerry smartphone email a problem with my Torch 9800.

    I have a problem with my Torch 9800. When you try to configure the e-mail account on the torch, my companion of techno geniuses who ran in while I was reading upward on the ins and outs selected the company option and then tried to enter the e-mail address and the password. When she came back invalid, I had just read the correct option. Now the torch will not support to give me the Internet e-mail account option. or company. I made the default I saw through the command prompt and options, nothing seems to work when he gets online after the restoration, select email overall upward and it's always the newspaper and projection of password to the company. This phone is only 4 days old, I'm not impressed that I can't go back to the option, or am I missing something?

    Help will be appreciated.

    Thanks for the tip on the service provider. Turns out there was to be a $10 monthly fee paid to blackberry to activate the service.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones New User: Questions about the internal clock synchronization, software updated

    Hellko Forum.

    For two weeks, I use a Blackberry Bold 9900 with OS7.1 and I am very satisfied with the device.

    But there are some questions for which I have found no solution:

    (*) Looking back at my old Siemens S10D or SK65, they had an option to synchronize the internal clock with time of the GSM network information. Will there be a similar option in the Bold 9900? What I found was an option in the date and time settings. But when I put "Government aktualisieren" (setting the time) on 'automatic' then time switches to October 5, 2013, 12:20 and nothing happens. Is it possible to connect to an NTP server? If so, where to enter the address?

    (*) On this Web page http://de.blackberry.com/software/smartphones/update/blackberry7-os.html?LID=de:bb:support:update - of... Describes how to upgrade the software of the smartphone "over the air". But I can't find this option. Where the developer has hidden this feature?

    Thanks a lot for the answers in advance

    Best regards

  • BlackBerry smartphones a few questions

    First of all, I must say that I'm still not 100% familiar with Blackberrys and it's the first time I bought a.

    My first question is, how do I change the time my program can operate? Now, it goes only from 9-5 or something like that.

    On my so-called "desktop" on my blackberry there are six requests, you can run quickly. With me, the first two are both my e-mail account. How can I take one of these two and replace with for example my SMS?

    On my email and SMS tab my emails sent and received time and come from SMS in the same folder. How can I change this so that I don't see my received SMS and emails?

    And finally, what is the best way to change my ringtone? Just download a song and transfer it through the media?

    I check the FAQ but found no answers. Someone who could help me >

    Open the calendar, click menu options, General options, change the beginning of the day and end of day

    On my so-called "desktop" on my blackberry there are six requests, you can run quickly. With me, the first two are both my e-mail account. How can I take one of these two and replace with for example my SMS?

    from the homescreen of the 6 icons, click the menu button and you'll get all fo your icons, if you move all the icons you want to be the first 6 on the screen, those become your 6 icons on the home screen, to move, to highlight the icon, click on the menu, choose move and move it with your trackpad, click trackpad in this position.

    On my email and SMS tab my emails sent and received time and come from SMS in the same folder. How can I change this so that I don't see my received SMS and emails? Open the icon, click the menu and options, go to General settings, HIDE the SENT MESSAGES to YES, also if you want to change your e-mail and sms in 2 different boxes, in this same screen SMA AND EMAIL BOXES to SEPARATE messages

    And finally, what is the best way to change my ringtone? Just download a song and transfer it through the media?

    ringtones are usually the clips of songs, put the clips in the folder ringtones on your card (if you have a) then use profiles - advanced to assign a certain article

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can not decline, ignore or delete an invitation unwanted BBM on the Torch 9800

    I received an invitation BBM a stranger. I can't deny, ignore or delete this unwanted BBM invitation on the Torch 9800. I t is highlighting options, but when I select the options, nothing happens, and the invitation is still there.

    Any message may be removed or reduced, but not this specific one. (It is sent by a person in Thailand)

    Virus can be sent via the guest on the BBM? How can I get rid of this unwanted invitation on my BB Torch?

    If there is such a thing as a virus of BlackBerry, I guess it could be sent in this way, but there isn't.

    Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.  Then see if you are able to remove it.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones synchronization events created on the device

    Hello!

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8900 and use Entourage 2008 on my Mac for notes, calendar, and contacts of sycning.  Everything seems to sync both ways very well - outside of calendar events created on the device.  They synchronize with Entourage.  In addition, the changes I make to an event on the blackberry is not updated in Entourage.

    Can anyone help?

    I recently bought a Blackberry Storm 2, and I use Entourage 2008 and installed the Blackberry Desktop Manager. I had a few problems just getting up and running together. But now that's happening, everything seems to work fine schedule and even create events on the device. When I sync appear in Entourage, although they do not have a category.

    Have you checked iCal to see if they are be synchronized with the Entourage calendar in iCal? This may seem Basic, but have you checked the calendar section of the Blackberry Desktop Manager to ensure that the menu "add events created on the BlackBerry smartphone to" is set to the Entourage? I don't seem to have any other option, but I thought to ask anyway. Have you checked the advanced settings in the Blackberry Desktop Manager to synchronize all events?

    I create a calendar on the device event and had the address send using one different address other then the first email address for the device and for some reason any event do not synchronize. When I create a new event, however, the address to send it to the help is on the default.

    The only problem I seem to have is if I change the status of an event on the device (from busy free for example), he gets twice in the Entourage, but even in the event new status is still set to busy.

    I hope this can help you.
