• 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!

• 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 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!

• BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry noob a few questions.

  Hello. I am quite new to the Blackberry platform. I was a Windows Mobile user for a long time and now I made the switch. Once an expert with WM devices, but now a complete noob with Blackberry. So please don't be too hard on my noobness . in any case to my questions...

  (1.) I wanted to sign in BB online so I can manage my e-mail accounts in the computer oppose on my camera and it wouldn't let me create a sign in ID or connect. Whenever I have enter my PIN/imei number it tells an account has already been done, but I don't have an account. The only thing I did with my blackberry so far is implemented my gmail on my blackberry account and my gmail info does not appear to be sufficient for connection to blackberry online.

  2.) I have set up my gmail to keep the messages on my machine during 15 days. After the 15 days are up these messages are removed from my email all together? or did he just disappears from my camera, but stay in my email account?

  (3.) from WM platform, I got used to having my calendar on my home screen. I guess I have to download a new theme for my blackberry, but I don't want to bog down the new theme to the effectiveness of my BlackBerry smart phone. That will be the case if I download a new theme or am I just being haunted by fears of slowdown I've experienced with the platform WM glitch? suggestions as to what theme?

  You must connect on your BB device and create a user/pw name it for the opening of the office.

  It should not. There are a few bloated themes out there (mainly those with animated backgrounds).

  For example, here's one that I use now that I like much, with the upcoming calendar events and the last messages displayed on the home screen:

• BlackBerry Smartphones first timer question (sorry!)

  Hey all,.

  I am a newbie to the BB but love until now.  I have a quick and probably stupid question on the calendar - when put in meetings/appointments seem to let me just plan on time. How can I change the start time of something other than time?

  Thank you very much

  Welcme to Frums!

  This isn't a stupid stupid question!  When you go to the calendar application, then click on the menu and NEW, (make sure you are on the desired date) skip to BEGINNING that will show your day and the date and time (which is in hours). You can scroll through the minutes and change the time.

  Enjoy this blackberry!

• BlackBerry smartphones a few basic questions

  Some very basic q, I fear, about setting up email accounts.1.  I have not used my storm for 9 months and cannot remember the password to configure email accounts. I used the "forgot password" option and it says the password has been sent to my device, but I can't find it anywhere.  2. the last time that I used the camera, I received emails directly from my Yahoo account, but now, nothing is visible. Help!

  You always have the data Plan associated with your account BlackBerry? You must.

  And your password that you sent normally comes to the device via a PIN message.

  On your device, check the Options > Advanced > Service books. Do you think your email account as an entry listed as [CIMIME]?

  If all else fails, call your operator and your Plan of BIS data and readded to your account deleted.

• BlackBerry Z10 a few questions about my Z10

  Even a new user, new to smartphones too, can not find the time to sit with her a lot lately...

  Here are some questions I have:

  Charging the phone after I updated the operating system, while he was according to me goes out - I don't think it's on - I never noticed the Green LED that I noticed sometimes when recharging before that I've upgraded to the latest OS - it seemed just simply never turns green I presume to show a full battery when I got.  Yesterday he did, and I think that my phone was 'off' - what's the story on that?  Is it just stay on green a short time, then go offshore? Why sometimes orange/white, I think it was, for some time, even when he should have been charged?  I was pleased to see the Green yesterday.

  I got the Bell store in most of the media cards, and now I want to load a few applications, not unwanted, I'm not a kid, just solid ones and don't know how to make... ahem.  I know.  I would like to take the Globe and Mail new an and the CBC news one unless it is already there, will check that, to start, and maybe a few others recommended.  Can I do this via the WiFi home without turning on access date carrier?  Or I can do it via my laptop - I put the link of BlackBerry Desktop [tech Bell actually at the Bell store] and I did not attempt to use it again somehow.  Can you tell me the instructions online on this or give me a step by step procedure?  I'm always 'new' user...

  I look around me but have to get a garden set up done... maybe someone has a quick pointer or the answer...

  Thank you very much, this is exactly what I need.  I am not opposed to reading the manuals and I know where they are online more have downloaded one on the OS upgrade, but it's good to have a mentor guide.  Appreciate it highly.  Very useful forum.

• BlackBerry smartphone Bold 9900 questions - address book, BBM, and App World

  I have problems with my Bold 9900.  My phone is less than a year and now I can't open my address book.  The phone freezes and I have to take out the battery to restart.  At the same time, my BBM and App World leave works as well.  I can't access an application.

  I tried to restore the operating system with no luck.

  Any other suggestions?

  Exactly as you wrote, there is no such capacity... you can "restore" data, but you can only "recharge" your operating system... so, I would recommend that you attempt to reload your OS and perhaps update. Here are a few tips.

  At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for many models. If they understand your model, please use those as a reference as you go along. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the download portal official for packages of OS for your model:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...

  Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. 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

  Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

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

  You can also try this procedure might limit the specific 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.

  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:

• Greetings from blackBerry Smartphones / BB Newbie Questions

  Hello!!

  Thought I'd take the opportunity to view and asking some fundamental questions about the Apps and BB.

  Apps, I would like to ask you a few tips from the community.  Just try to save time by trying different applications by asking.  I'm looking for advice for the following applications.

  -GPS?  Heard of Google Navigation but it doesn't seem to work with BB.

  -Calendar?  I use my BB for professional and personal

  -PTF App?  Is it possible using the BB to open, edit, save files on the BB?

  -BlackBerry Protect?  I've heard of her.  Thoughts?

  Any other Apps that someone would suggest?

  BB issues,

  -Whence an app go once removed?  Stored on my device somewhere taking up room?

  -With regard to the preloaded applications (Verizon) on my BB?  Can they be deleted and if so it will cause issues on the road?

  -All the Apps I should stay away from?

  Thank you

  Welcome!

  -GPS?  Heard of Google Navigation but it doesn't seem to work with BB.  Maybe you say Google Maps, works very well with BlackBerry. It is a great mapping application, but does not voice turn - by turn navigation. You might like Telenav GPS for it, I use it, but it is not free.

  -Calendar?  I use my BB for travelers and personal operating system native calendar is great, that it syncs with Outlook. Others use Google Calendar.

  -PTF App?  Is it possible using the BB to open, edit, save files on the BB?  PDF? Your BlackBerry is open to be sent as an attachment to an email automatically to PDF files. If you save a PDF file on the press card, on the 9650, you will need a third-party app like PDFtoGo or Repligo to open and view the PDF file.

  -BlackBerry Protect?  I've heard of her.  Thoughts? Very worth it. Download AppWorld and set up for daily backup at some point every day. Lifeline.

  Any other Apps that someone would suggest?

  Weather: Likes BerryWeather (BeWeather in AppWorld). Another beautiful app is WeatherBug.

  ShowMeTheImages help really discover your HTML emails a lot simpler and easier.

  There are too many apps to name, I like.

  BB issues,

  -Whence an app go once removed?  Stored on my device somewhere taking up room?

  If removed from the device, it went. Your download and your purchase is always archived in AppWorld, so you can install it again.

  -With regard to the preloaded applications (Verizon) on my BB?  Can they be deleted and if so it will cause issues on the road?  Really, you can't remove these shortcuts to application "pushed," not very easy installation. It is simpler:

  To do this: create a folder on your home screen and name it "Junk" (you can choose to be more creative the folder name ). Now, highlight each unwanted icon and press the Menu key > go to folder and move it to the folder "spam". That, for each, you don't want to do.

  Now, highlight this "Junk" folder, and select Menu > hide.

  Out of site, out of mind. Meanwhile, feel free to complain to Verizon or their own user forums.

  Good luck!

• 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

  Hello again,

  noone has an answer to my questions?

• BlackBerry Smartphones has the question about GPS

  I have a BB 8800 device. It is connected to a mobile phone service provider that does not support BES or BIS. In other words, I use this device as a mobile phone.

  When I open Options-> Advanced Options-GPS and run the menu: "Refresh" GPS "didn't get no information from GPS (inside and outside).

  There are zeros in Latitude and Longitude.

  My question is: the GPS on BB8800 depends on mobile provider and my data plan?

  I understand that to display the cards that I have at least GPRS-internet service enabled to access and download blackberry maps.

  But I don't get any results when I simply run the GPS Options and launch refresh GPS info.

  Could you please explain. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if the GPS works at all the or not depends on whether the carrier allows him. But even if they do, it can be quite risky. I have Verizon in the United States and subscribe to the GPS service. I think it's pretty good - when it works. The biggest problem is that every four or five days about it does connect to GPS in the service of Verizon GPS signals, nothing else that the error messages "can not connect", and I do the reset drill "remove the battery and let it sit for a very long time" in order to resume service. Oddly, it's going to walk very well on Google Maps in this condition, but not on the traditional GPS. Would like to know the cause, since it seems that I am still an urgent need for GPS when he chooses to do not. Four or five days everything works well, then I'm in a strange city and the need to go from the airport to the hotel - and it won't work, so I find myself in some of Mall parking lot looking at my phone and the battery if displayed on the seat next to me, waiting for some kind of magic back to happen. The good news is that the reset still seem to work. The bad news is that I thought there is no alternative to lose 20 minutes to get a good discount to zero. I'm probably two resets far from cancelling the GPS service, it's just unpredictable as to when it's going to fail. Google Maps is not really very accurate in showing you where you are, but it has its uses. We are house hunting and I find that using Google Maps, while we are looking at a beautiful House we prevented them from making a few mistakes - found some really nasty industrial plants just across a line of trees, for example. I also use it to find restaurants that are pretty close to my hotel (so the total precision is not serious) of the Decree.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Lag/delay question! Video inside! -8120

  BlackBerry 8120 (os v4.3.0.115)

  T mobile

  Question trolling... Majority of deleted preloaded programs.

  64 MB (100% free) mmc)

  5 core (removed bbm) running programs

  Don't lag in any other program or anything like that, just get out of the State of the "lock". A few seconds of lag when it locked, unlocked. It's pretty boring and you want this problem solved. I just got the phone earlier today and want if it has set up for my taste.

  -pull the battery, all of the pocket with option built-in, deleted all the photos and Articles of mm, freed from the memory card, have the minimum amount of running programs. don't know what else to do. did my research... nothing helps. Edit: also have 20 MB free on the phone. -.

  Video of my delay in bb.

• BlackBerry smartphones another little question from a novice on windows authentication

  Hi, I posted a question a few weeks ago, to summarize, I recently dumped my treo for the new storm.  I enjoy them until now, but I have a question to get connected to a windows site.

  I use logmein for mobile access, (www.logmein.com), it's like gotomypc, but free and I used to be able to log in with my treo smartphone, but I'm having a problem on my BB.  I spend all the stuff (on the site of logmein) html Web page and get to the point where I have to put the password for the computer that I'm remote'ing.  The phone's browser has "Windows authentication" in the upper part, followed by three text fields, username, PW and domain.  I don't have a domain, but when I entered the username and password, I can't select the "login" link just in the middle of the page at the bottom. "

  I tried everything, he can't know.  Also, on this screen, zoom and other "typical" controls are not available, as the keyboard and a few other navigation options (none is "next" or "enter")...  Oh, and another thing, when I click on the screen where the "login" link is, it locks the keyboard back to the top and sometimes wipes all the text on the fields?...

  Thanks in advance...

  Thanks for the help, it turns out looking as if it was a problem on the side of the House Logmein.com...

• BlackBerry smartphones a few suggestions for future releases blackberry OS

  Hello

  I hope that it reaches the right developers. I just had some suggestions for the future blackberry phone software (OS).

  It should be an option to use the memory card to save data such as messages, e-mail, telephone directory, applications etc. This would prevent the messages are automatically deleted. At least the user should be warned etc. messages are deleted instead of remove them automatically!

  Blackberry desktop software should also be able to back up third-party software.

  There should be an option by which we can password protect applications/inbox/etc. individual according to our prefrance rather than to have just a password to lock the entire phone. In this way we can let someone use our phone, playing games, but do not have access to private data or personal information.

  In the address book, we should be able to create a custome as Mobile 2, Home 3, etc. These days have several mobile phones, and it's boring store the secondary number in the pager, or other category. It is a basic solution and I am surprised blackberry doesn't have this option.

  BlackBerry should also support youtube and also reording video.

  Another feature that I suggest is related to the contact filter option. At present, we can select only a single filter to contact both. Now, it would be great if we have a mechanism by which we can select several filters in this way:

  If I want to select all the people that are in the filter of the USA and who work for company X, I can choose the filter "and" in which the two categories are adapted (2 or more categories).

  If I want to select people who are either in the United States or work for company X (I choose the filter 'or' for this).

  You can have a function special directory where we choose to display only the phone numbers frequently and can put all the numbers that we use that often in a master directory. It would be convenient to so many people!

  When sending SMS to multiple people, please select each individually. It would be nice if we could quickly select using checkmarks next to the person as a whole rather than separately.

  We should be able to add the email as 'spam' of the handheld is.

  We include a reminder of birthday for contacts, which is separate from the calendar option.

  There is no weather app that comes with the blackberry! This a must and should be included.

  Better and more realistic, as the navigation in the iphone. Web sites display in a way very non-eco-friendly and most of the pages are not available easily.

  We should have a shortcut button to compose text messages just as we can press 'c' as quick make up for email.

  These are just some thoughts I had on the way to improve the phone. Of course, applications are somewhat biased based on my needs but I really hope that some key developers fall on this post and implement these ideas in future versions of blackberry OS.

  Kind regards

  Ishan.
