BlackBerry Smartphones all I want to do is watch a @# (* ^ $(*! movie))

I'm trying to be able to watch a movie in mp4 on my BB 8310 with a 2 gig SD card.  I'm on a corporate server.

Dead end #1: start with a good ISO file, converted to MP4 with Nero.  I tried different conversion settigs.  Some parameters of give me a file that I can see, but the image is tiny, with perhaps half the area of screen.  Other parameters to produce a file that either can't be read, or that blocks the BB.

Tired of this, I tried #2 dead-end: using BB Desktop Manager.  I tried the old version with service pack 2, 4.6 and 4.7.  Each install fails when it gets to the point where Roxio Media Manager should install - I get an error something along the lines of the system is not able to load (or find) a file, it needs.  (I completely uninstalled everything and reinstall; still NG.)

This brings me to a dead end #3: I saw on the forum that some people use AkmeFFmpeg to create the file.  It does not, either.  I tried to use the ISO file and the well-known mp4 files.  On ISO, it seems that is not find a file any, that he needs.  On the mp4s, it produces a corrupted file.

I'm very tired of turn around that and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.  TIA

(A) I found a way to make it work.  I converted the ISO with Nero mp4 files.  The parameters were Nero digital category in the standard digital profile.  Then, I used the Akme converter to create a file that would work on the BB.  Here the parameters have been output file from mp4-Mpeg4/BB curve container 400 Kbps, 320 x 180, video codec mpeg4 simple profile, 400 / 800 Kbps, 24 fps.  It took many tests before finding a combo that worked.  With other combinations (on Nero and Akme) the mp4 file that results would not play on the BB and in some cases would not even appear in the directory of BB.  Now the movie fills the entire screen BB correctly.

(B) having said that, this is my last RIM product.  Never.  I hope RIM people read these messages.  They have the nerve to sell a device that claims to play mp4s, and then the owner needs to go through these changes to make it work.  I don't think so.

(C) how much RIM pay to Roxio for their software or Setup?  What a waste of shareholders ' money.

In response to your question, I never could get Roxio Media Manager to load.  I did a clean install of three or four different versions of BB Desktop Manager, including the latest and best, and in all the installation would fail to install Roxio.

Apparently RIM thinks they have their mp4 problems covered because one of their fans made a deal with their counterpart from Roxio.  Well, software that will not be installed no one is all good.  RIM should offer just a utility of simple conversion that takes any mp4 file and converts it into native mp4 playing on the RIM of the target model.  Gosh, how easy that would be?  Instead, sell your device such as mp4 ready, but let your customer to fend for themselves.

(D) I have never been a person of Apple for various reasons, but the first time I get this BB is going to get smashed on the anvil; He will be replaced by an iPhone.  At least Apple right that their customers expect actually using the features vaunted for their devices, without the need for scientific experiments.

RIP RIM

  • BlackBerry Smartphones all linguistics to "unlocked" device

    Hello

    I bought a BB smartphone directly from RIM and, therefore, no specific carrier, I want to add support the Chinese language unit, however, the version of BlackBerry Desktop Software available for download from RIM site only support "multilingual", not "any language:, my questio is where can I download a version of 'whole language' BlackBerry Desktop Software from blackberry.com?" Thank you.

    Yes... they both should be deleted. You must understand why you have insufficient rights on your computer to remove this... If you use a CMD (DOS) window, try selecting it from the menu (it should be inside the accessories), but instead of normal click, right click, and select 'run as administrator '. If you do not run as administrator available, then your user account on your computer has insufficient rights even do this... need you an account on your computer with adequate rights.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones don't want to alert SMS SMS for voicemail

    I don't know if the reception of an SMS text message alert me that I must call my voicemail is something that is necessary for BlackBerry devices or not.  The storm is my first BB Phone.  I don't want to be charged for the text messages alerts of new voicemails, because I do not pay for this additional service every month.  I rarely use SMS or MMS, so I do not subscribe to the service, but only pay based on usage.  I spoke with representatives the Verizon store and they tried to call their support line for Verizon, but they have not found a way to stop these alerts.  Maybe someone on this forum could have information on the possibility of shutdown of the SMS text messages without blocking all messages text completely?

    Just for some information, I always had service ATT in the past and with this alert using a text message, all the phones that I had not moved.  I wonder if this is a requirement for Blackberry devices.

    Thank you

    I guess I better post a few updates on my original post so that everyone doesn't have the wrong impression or information.  I spent a lot more time on the phone with Verizon tech REPS yesterday to investigate what I thought, it was costs for text alerts for my voice messages.  After going to MY VERIZON to check all the links on my Bill, the Rep said to go to the PREVIEW and then fall down a little on the page and look under the part that says the USE OF CELLS.  Click the MESSAGE, click VIEW MY son USE, scroll down to USE TEXT MESSAGES, and then click SEE DETAILS of E-MAIL and it shows phone numbers that the text messages were sent.  I didn't know this feature.  I couldn't find any number that woud appear to come from Verizon for text alerts.  Then, I forgot that I had tried to join Face Book and MySpace, and they have sent SMS for a reason any.  So, SORRY do not understand my billing.  I keep track of all future SMS, I get on my Storm and go to this section of my invoice to compare and check them when I get my next billing cycle.

    Thanks for the help everyone.  I hope I got this mystery solved.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones all mailboxes "" re - direct text Message Inbox

    Hi people,

    One of my bosses is currently using a Torch 9800 (v.6.0.0.246) and was a little problem for me.

    He has an email account set in place on the phone but cannot access one of his emails - same may be the case for all PIN messages, but it does not use this feature.

    It seems that, at any time, he tries to enter the 'Messages' General or specific 'Messages' he takes him to the "SMS" Inbox - email. When he receives an email, he can read, but once read it are no longer accessible. I tried to access the Inbox in several different ways but whenever he goes just to her texts. We tried to save an email but once again the 'Saved Messages' folder command to "SMS".

    I have had a look through the forums but have not been able to find something useful.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    See you soon,.

    Is there a way to do a system restore to factory settings?

    Thank you

    Josh

    Instead of factory reset try to reload the software of your device.

    NOTE: back up your device first.

    1. go on google on the field type in (blackberry software update (the name of your operator))

    2. download the software for the device

    3. install on your computer.

    4. Once installed plug in your device to the computer (without the battery)

    5. go to computer / driver C / program files (x 86) / Common files / research in motion / application loader / LOADER

    6. click on LOADER and follow the prompt.

    7. it will take time to recognize your PIN or your device. Just continue clicking NEXT until it pass.

    8. after that it will inspire you by selecting your language, then a page with "finish or close" is displayed just click on one of them for the process to move forward.

    9. a loading bar will appear. When you receive an error message that says something like "cannot detect the device.

    It's time for step 10.

    10 replace the battery
    and click on 'Retry '.

    11. it will take time, but continue to retry until that proceed it process.

    12. once the upload is complete, you can either receive "" is an unrecoverable error occurred, or software update success ""

    don't worry about the unrecoverable error, he says that but your device must be start the system.

    If the charging software will not solve the problem then its hardware.

  • BlackBerry smartphones all 4 LEDs lit on VM-605 visor Bluetooth speaker

    Unit has worked fine for almost a year. Am in the car this morning and all 4 lights were lit. I put it on the charger. Battery turned LED orange for a bit, then back to red. Never turned green.

    What are all 4 LEDs constant average power? Is there a way I can reset this device? Should I just wait until the internal battery runs down completely?

    Thanks for any help,

    Marshall

    Apparently, it is news to everyone.

    I can tell you all that no combination of keys pressing/holding on the Visor speaker will change or disable the LED display. I can also say that almost anything can have do, no amount of charge will fix it.

    That said, the only thing left to do is let it burn until the battery was empty and all the lights had been arrested. It's exactly what I did.

    Then, I put it on the charger. He immediately begins a workload with the battery LED RED only. In 3.5hrs, charge finished with battery GREEN LED lit.

    I turned on the unit and the British female voice said it to my phone. As nothing unusual happened. Make a call and everything worked normally.

    Then, if all 4 LEDs on sun visor Bluetooth Speakerphone VM - 605 are light, let it go ahead and burn the dead battery. Then recharge and everything will be normal.

    If the 4 LEDs lit is way of Blackberry to tell the user the battery is low, they should thought to allow loading instead of having to wait until the battery dies completely and THEN the device recharges immediate.
