BlackBerry Smartphones alt image and locked keyboard

Hello!! I am facing a problem with my curve! a small picture of "alt" appeared on the top right of my screen and the keaboard is now locked! Help me please if you know anything about!

Hi helenakallas,

When the 'Alt' is at the top right of the screen, it's because you clicked on 'Alt' and unlock your keybored click on the button "Mute" on the top of your Blackberry (AKA Play/Pause button).

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Alt - Key when entering numbers

    Hey all - I'm new to the Board and looking for help. I have the 8830 world edition and use if for a little over a year now. When I type numbers I usually hold down the alt key and enter the number I want to - I could just hold down the ALT key and type in numbers; useful when you must enter a few at a time. Well, yesterday, all of a sudden this process no longer works. Now, I have to keep alt - ky, type a number for the next issue, I have to repeat once again - cannot simultaneously, hold the alt key and enter numbers. I know how Caps - Alt to enter long strings of numbers, but now it's a drag. Press alt, key number... repeat... ARGH!

    I checked keyboard settings and couldn't find anything useful, and hoping that this forum can help. Thank you!

    Here's what I did that worked. Turn off Blackberry, remove the battery, wait about 1 minute, insert the battery, turn way, back to normal.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Invalid email and password on blackberry 9790

    I have been using everything ok through POP3 email on my blackberry for the last six months and then all of a sudden yesterday asked me to check the password that I tried to do it but the only message I get, is that my user name or password is invalid.  This is not the case, as I am with the same username and password on outlook and my Ipad and these work perfectly. Can anyone help?

    We had a problem with our email on Wednesday, it is now sorted and the passwords have not been changed.

    I tried the hard reset, tried to set up online service, free books works and still will not accept the good user name and the password.  It's driving me crazy!

    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    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

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • 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 - about 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 not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones address email and password

    My Blackberry Torch was stolen recently.  Now that I got my new camera and everything seemed to work OK.  I received emails addressed to it and who is "pushed".  I tried to download an app and had my Blackberry ID need I entered.  She would not accept my new password - so I asked to reset - but the email they were supposed to be sent to my blackberry address did not!  Does anyone have ideas, what can I do now?

    Oh okay Ouch, the using the blackberry.net email account is not good. These emails cannot be found or read any where, but on the BlackBerry smartphone.

    Personally, I never recommend using blackberry.net for this main reason e-mail accounts.

    My best suggestion is to get a gmail or yahoo account for free and create a whole new BlackberryID.

    Then, call your mobile operator Orange and ask them to bring this problem to RIM level two level tech support and get your old account merged or moved to the new BlackBerryID.

    Yes, it's complicated. But it's the only way I see possible... all this because of the password reset. Yuck, indeed.

    After his contacts on the PC, I'll make sure that you have installed 4.7 DTM and go to the command line

    type: cd c:\program files Research in motion\apploader enter

    type: enter loader.exe /resettofactory

    This should remove the policy from IT previous of the device and wipe the device then you can resync everything back to the device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Alt-LGLG

    Hello

    This operation is not possible on the Torch 9860...

    Any other options to clear logs?

    Santy

    Hello Santy68

    Welcome to the community

    I understand you want to clear the logs on the device and the Blackberry Torch 9860 with no physical keyboard, here's how:

    Press Search in the upper right corner of the screen, using the keyboard on screen that will appear, hold the button & 123% then type ' / ' / -this will definitely do the same thing as LGLG but since pressing the & % 123 will change the key to symbols, they are always the same buttons.

    Enjoy

  • BlackBerry Smartphones freezing point and go slowly - do I just a media card?

    I have new Bold 9790 and if I put more than a few apps on it freezes all the time or I get a clock icon and it takes forever to do anything. I just need to get a support card for more storage or I have a more serious problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Susan

    Yes, I think you should have a sd card, I'm a little confussed why these 9790's do not come with an sd card. like most Blackberry, you need a memory card for saving all your photos and music on, also clear in the browser, facebook, twitter, bb maps and any other application that has a cache, the cache also on the home screen, hold the ALT key and press options then LG LG clear log, it will make your phone run more fast and more fluid

  • BlackBerry smartphones broken image in the media, photos, images icons

    Peripheral is installed last BB Desktop Manager and Roxio BB9000 to manage image files that initially, I got 5 photos loaded into the BB9000 and could see very well in the media, photos, images, I then took 2 pictures with the camera BB9000 and saved. They came very well in all the images in media, photos, I then used Roxio, launched from the BB Desktop Manager to remove these 2 photos of the BB9000 and everything seemed to be fine as Roxio showed the 5 original images as present in the home, user, file photo when I disconnected the BB9000 and accessible Media, photos, images There are now 5 images and 2 broken icon thumbnails. Then I activated the mass of home media, Options, memory, I then connected the BB9000 via USB (to stop BB Desktop Manager at this point) and open the disk (in my case G:\) in Explorer. I clearly see 5 images in the original folder and each of them can be opened through Explorer. Then I unplugged the USB cable and this time there are 4 icons image shattered by the media, photos, images, while the 5 original images are still all there. An image has been duplicated (called trail.jpg) and if I delete one using the BB9000, probably both will disappear but for the moment, did nothing. If I select one of the broken image in media, photos, images icons and select Remove, a prompt appears "the selected file is read-only. Are you sure you want to delete? ». By selecting Yes, does nothing. The image remains a broken image icon. How does it evolve?

    This seems to be that the actual image file has been removed, but the bbthumbs.dat file still has the image in his thumb nail index.

    With the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    After the reboot, give him five minutes to rescan the media card.

    Now, see if the thumbnail image broken remains.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones recent update and now no screen saver

    (I recently yesterday) updated my software on my Blacberry Bold 9700.  Before update 2 function keys for standby (right if you look at the phone) and lock (left side) on the top just that fact with the lock button showing a screen saver until the screen become black after a break.  The phone lock button to access the screen saver function that comes with more downloadable themes.  It is now the screen turns off as if it is in standby mode.  The standby key has now no functionality.

    Is there a way to fix this?   I had a look through all the options and took a look at BB to help, but I don't see a way to assign or change the key features of locking.  I didn't really use the sleep button on the all so not worth it if I can't change that.

    (Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere I was not sure what search term to use and 'screen saver' and 'pending' did not help at all.

    Yes, it has been asked and answered many times, and you wouldn't have around her as a "screen saver" like the BlackBerry doesn't really have any screen saver. What you're looking for is the "lock screen", and the function of the button mute on the upper part has changed, with the latest software updates, several months ago.

    Also, get what you want, you will need to have a password on the device.

    In otherwise, touch the top edge just puts the unit in standby mode.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones 10 problems and issues for the 8220

    Hiya,

    I got to a point where I'm a little more frustrated on my new phone that actually enjoy it, my previous phone was a XDA Orbit running on WM5, as such, I guess I've come to expect much more than phone that's good for me...

    I just got an upgrade of the O2, and since the "BOLD" was not in stock, I was sent this one.

    Anyway, here goes:

    1 SMS Message-files: is there a way I can create folders for my messages? Say, for example: "SAVED-Bob", "SAVED-Steve", etc.? At the moment I don't have a main folder of the SMS display everything and really, I don't want to save the messages in the folder "Saved messages" under "Applications".

    2 deleting multiple messages: according to the help by pressing alt while rolling on the messages of selects messages that I want to, then pressing the menu key, I would need to select 'delete selected messages '. Well, this doesn't seem to work. If I press the alt key everything I have will achieve is the trackball goes to the top or the bottom of the messages. Could someone point me in the right direction?

    3 emails sent: why are there no 'sent' folder? I expect that, with a blackberry (which is supposed to be an office-e-mail-phone), I have a kind of box to send and sent?

    memory card 4: How can I use it? The only reasonable explanation I got the phone I got a memory card has been when I took a picture and he told me that they would be stored on the MicroSD card. But how can I as a user accessing it? How can I create folders there? How can I save items such as notes out there? And if I set up a folder on the memory card with a number of word documents, PDF files and text notes, how do I access them?

    5. Security: how lock folders such as messages or send an email (let's say for the sake of the argument I want to use the same password for each of them) so that whenever I want to access my SMS messages, I need to enter a code?

    6 editing: how can I change an image after I took it to a smaller size? I used TwitterBerry to upload a picture, I just took my twitter account, but it's just sitting there, download the image (which was a 1600 x 1200 image) for about 10 minutes (with connected WiFi) and did nothing.

    7 overview of the message: I don't want to see the message on my phone! There is no way I can just display the "New Message" icon with the sender, but not preview of the message on the screen when the phone is closed?

    8 Trackball problems: the trackball does not seem to be sitting at 100% in the middle of the cavity, instead of this he is squinted slightly to the right. It is not a huge problem, but if I see a white light shining through on the left, not the right I don't really think that it is a "function". It works and everything, but it does not appear correctly / right

    9 hinge a little wobbly? The hinge has a little movement when closed (not opening), is a movement of 2mm normal?

    10 backup complete phone: can I perform a full backup of my 8220 using any piece of software (the software that comes with it has not yet touched) completely back up my phone and contacts for a simple import into another Blackberry should I need to come back to this one for ad #8 #9?

    Thank you all so much for your time and your help on this, I would really appreciate the phone, but for now I can't and I have already spent so much time import my contacts correctly I don't really want to consider changing phones...

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    (1) Sms messages. You can go to the queue, options, General, options scroll down

    SMS AND email inboxes: Select distinct. You will have a record for you SMS messages.

    There is not a way to save the user, I know.

    (2) for 'gang' remove hold down SHIFT and defiler scroll messages, and then press DELETE.

    You can also scroll to the date line, select menu deletes before. This will remove all messages before

    on the date indicated.

    (3) Please indicate if you are setting up that BES (server) or BIS (telephone).

    (4) memory card. The media files that you can put on the media card will save the memory of your device. Most

    the device memory smooth your BB will run. The easiest way to manage files and data on the media

    card is to use the USB cable to access the PC and BB. Open windows 'MY Computer', will come the media card

    like a flash drive. You can then load the files in the directories right through the 'drag and drop '.  If you have a software for device OS 4.5 you have docs to go. This contains word and excel and powerpoint. For a good answer on how to use it, check out this link to read the Post of JERRYD:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/Rim/Board/message?board.ID=8300&message.ID=22720#M22720

    (5) you cannot lock individual records. Password, you can protect the unit.

    (6) in the camera go to options, select photo size: large, medium, small selection.

    (7) to change the external display options:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB16014&sliceId=SAL_Pub...

    8 + 9) you would have to compare with the other 8220 to see if this is a normal phenomenon, I have no access to

    a 8220.

    (10) Yes, use desktop software manager to create a backup of your phone. You can either restore

    the backup on the new phone, or use the wizard to transfer between two Blackberry switch device

    phones. This should be in the user manual.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not unlock the keyboard

    If I lock the keyboard (outfit a), I can't unlock it.  I'm new on a blackberry, so maybe I'm missing something.  But according to the phone, manual and a lot of research on Google, it should unlock by pressing A again.  (or a + button send)

    I tried a lot of different keyboard combos, but not luck.

    Power off is it opens.  In fact, I generally that power down, then interrupt the power down (by pressing any key) and then the keyboard is unlocked.  But it's pretty incoonvenient.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    What you're saying, looks like it's your device lock password, which prevents you from your device. Only this password can unlock it, but for one reason or another it just is not be accepted. Most often, it is because of the keyboard... you may think that you type a number, but actually, it's a letter, lock shift is power or some other modifier key is not present in the same State as when the password was created. Unfortunately, with just one more attempt there is very little to try... you get only once chance, so the probability of success is low.

    I suggest you remove your battery, wait 5 minutes, then insert the battery, but wait at least 15 minutes before you try anything. Only, you get a chance, so you must leave your BB to be fully started before trying anything.

    If you fail the last time, what will happen is that your BB will wipe itself clean of everything and be as if it were when you received first of all, including the removal of the password. This is a security feature designed to protect valuable data and personal information on the device of thieves.

    Good luck!
