BlackBerry Smartphones Arrrrrgh! Attachments!

Since I updated my Blackberry 8820 to software version 4.5, I was unable to open attachments that I used to be able to open: .doc, .xls, .pdf and so on.

To answer the most obvious two remedies, YES, I have Blackberry Attachment Service installed and activated.  and YES, I have pulled the battery out of it SEVERAL times and done a reset to start this way.  Nor have changed the situation.

At this point, I'm ready to try the downgrade to the software provided with it when I got it, or completely change phones.  Not being is not able to open attachments base is a real deal-breaker here.

And please - do NOT suggest I BUY a third party solution that will open anything.  All I want to do is to go back to the same functionality I was previously, with the ability to open attachments basis, without having to pay for something, I already had for free.

Any suggestions out there?

Thank you!

I've thought about it... Download the spreadsheet to my card on my BB, but the strange thing is that ToGo does not have an icon to click on open a spreadsheet... Although if I try to open a worksheet that happens now, he lets me.  Weird how?

In any case... I guess that I don't sweat not the e-mails received previously that I can't open attachments, because they remain only on my phone for about a week, and I was without attachments for 4 months, if I lose a little more, if not the end of the world... especially since it seems to now work for all new incoming.

Thanks again for the welcome and for the help!

  • BlackBerry smartphones download attachments - file selection

    I am struggling to find the right sequence to download an attachment.  I am trying to download a photo from an e-mail.  (actually three photos).  I guess that the destination must be my photo folder.

    Here is the sequence of what I do, please someone can tell me where I'm wrong?

    1. I opened the email and there are three attachments .jpg (90 to 126 K)

    2. I select the file and a menu appears, open attachment is highlighted.  I select the option which is the attachment to download.

    3. the next menu is select file/Media Card / Blackberry / pictures.  Below it is a folder that says upward, and that's where the blue highlight.  Under is a camera.  I guess I want the pictues to go in the pictures folder, but I can't select this folder.

    4. highlight to the top, and because it's the only thing that I can support on and it appers to start the download.  Then I get a message error "an unknown error has occurred."

    It's frustrating when simple things like this are so difficult.  What I am doing wrong?

    you have answered your own question, file/Media Card / Blackberry / pictures is where you save it.  It is the sd card

  • BlackBerry Smartphones download attachments from email on blackberry to my laptop

    Is it possible to download attachments of email on my blackberry tour to my laptop via the USB connection?

    Thank you.

    When you click an attachment you have a choice called "Download attachment"? If so choose that and a boc black should appear on the screen. You should see a path at the top. So, if you have a memory card in your device this path can say ' / Media Card/BlackBerry/documents ". Also under this path, you should see the book 'Up '. So if you don't want to save the file in the folder documents in the media card, you can select 'Up' and choose a different folder. Once you find where you want to place the file, you can click on the folder and choose "Select here" in the menu that appears.

    If you want to see a better view of a media or card the folder structure of the memory of BlackBerry that you can go in your media icon, click the menu button and select Explorer.

    On the BlackBerry, go to Options | Media Media Card recommended parameters are:

    Media card support: WE
    Encryption mode: NO
    Mass storage support: WE
    Auto enable mass storage Mode when connected: YES

    Mass storage mode allows your BlackBerry to act as an extra drive when it is connected to your PC. It will appear as an extra drive letter in Windows Explorer. So you can just drag/release the multimedia files on your memory card

  • BlackBerry Smartphones .3gp attachments to emails

    I have a 8330.  I received and email with a video link in .3gp format and I can not open, save or see it.  Is this normal or should I do something I'm not?

    Thanks for any help...

    John

    Well, my post said that the .3gp file can be read with a blackberry. Unfortunately, there are some inconsistencies in the Blackberry Curve user interface:

    • If you click on your browser on a .3gp file, you can view it or download it.
    • If you click on your media browser on a .3gp file (which is on your SD card, for example), you can watch.
    • If you have a message with an attached .3gp, you can not what either.

    I think you can try to convey the message to another email address and access with a webmail (like GMail).

  • BlackBerry Smartphones open attachments in BB 8703e

    I get my emails from Outlook 2003 (Exchange Server) using the BB Desktop Redirector: this way I get all that reached my inbox at the office.  Even if my 8703e has application 'Service of attachment 4.2 BB', I can't open attachments.  The "Open attachment" selection is not on the menu when I click on the wheel.  Is this a limitation of the channel of BB to Outlook?  If so, how to solve it?

    Total success!   It took me a while (and failures), however, to configure the OWA settings.  Two pointers in this regard:

    -In our case, the URL should begin with https and not http

    -Our necessary in the DOMAIN\user_name format username

    The rest is standard: address e-mail and the same password when you connect to the domain, use the static IP address instead of the server name and domain name in the URL and the name of the mailbox (not the one that appears in the Outlook folder list).

    Thank you much for the help.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Email attachments - how to save an attachment to the device memory or media card?

    I have a BlackBerry 8310 Curve, which we got up to speed up our translation services.  the thing is that we have received a document attached, and we could not know how to SAVE the attachment to either the memory card or peripheral support, which would then allow us to transfer it directly to the laptop to work on.

    The temporary solution we found was to convey the message to a different email address and download it to your computer. For some reason any later we could not attach the document to email the map of media either, so we had to email from the laptop to the blackberry, and then forward it to the client.

    So, my questions are:

    How to save an attachment to an e-mail message OR the card memory or device support?

    How can I attach a document to an email when ATTACH it to does not display the file in the folder? (of course I've already put it there)

    and as a side note

    Why I could open the email attachment I had forwarded to the blackberry, but I could not open the original document (the two word .doc) sent customer e-mail.

    Here are the details of my laptop: Win XP Home edition, Service Pack 3

    Unfortunialy up to what your phone is updated with OS 4.5 the only way is to do it as you have in the past or I'm sure there are some programs that you can buy until you do not upgrade.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones gmail attachments

    I've set up on gmail BB8310. Sometimes, if an email is equipped as a jpeg (s) they do not show upward. If it comes with a pps photos do not show, but if there is text, it shows. Is there a way to manage these in gmail?

I'm fairly new to what I do not understand everything. It then double home you must be there 24/7/365. It seems that you never miss a beat.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones view attachments and other parts of noob questions

    Hello

    I am completely new to blackberry and quite confusing.  Let me apologize in advance, as it's long and this device is much more involved than anything I've had before.

    When I get an email with an attachment (in this case, I myself sent a .doc file to test from a yahoo account) I get "the type of attachment cannot be viewed on the device.

    I just received my BB Tour today and was able to set up the email fairly easily as it is on a POP3 server.

    I activated the Go service Documents, it seems I have the Viewer (I followed the instructions to check another thread for the curve I think and he appeared in critical Applications, so I don't know if this applies in fact to the Tower, but I found what I think I'm supposed to have under options/applications configuration / advanced and then saw less 4.7 Core Applications under net_rim_bb_docview modules).

    I tried to restart the unit, but no luck.  I installed the Desktop Manager and followed the instructions to install/update all.

    So far, I have about 4 hours in this trying to read previous posts and the support site, which covers me.

    Since I just got today, is it possible that there is some sort of shift?  I got an activation message that asked me to leave Messages on the server, I did, so I think I am activated I get by e-mail and can send.  But, once again, to this news, it's all a bit overwhelming and me thinking I should have already activated the data with my Motorola Q package.  I will continue to play with it, to see if something clicks.

    Could someone direct me to a guide of type Blackberry 101 also?  I did find the manual very useful because I can not even find in it if I can set how often it checks for messages, or if there is a way I can put it to check every 5 minutes or only on request.  So, if someone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful!  Also, need to update my Microsoft Outlook contacts list, but no luck learn how do that with success either.

    I know that there is a lot in a single message, but thank you for indulging in a beginner.

    Thanks to bifocals!

    I got it to work somehow, in actually button connections and mobile network options, and I ended up running a diagnostic test.  I found that by going to essentially every menu and submenu and hit bb button to see what other options he gave me.  He showed Activation of data Radio as No, and a whole bunch of strangers underneath, so I thought that something was not right with the connection somehow.  I turned all the connections off the coast, and then on again and ran another diagnosis and miraculously everything started working.  I knew I had another message for activation at this time, if something is obviously not the first time around.  It was the service books being returned because I disconnected then reconnected?

    Thanks for all the other information in your response, I will study everything!

  • BlackBerry smartphones save attachments

    Hey, I just got an email with a few microsoft word documents. I "got" them, now how do to save them or if she did... What do record under when I want to ATTACH the files again in another email?

    Thanks in advance!

    I was right (for a change)

    The queue of messages is designed to be a function of synthesis for all messages and missed calls, you can split the text and e-mail to separate boxes that you did, but the message remains in the main area. I can understand the concept of original design, but you're right about the options.

    If you make the exception to the original concept and split messages, (due to the customer requests), so why not make full except for the choice of the place to go? I think that someone stopped on that one.

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones opening of attachments

    I believe that this has already been covered, but I can't find the answer.  I have a curve 9300 OS6.  For some reason any I can no longer open attachments to emails.  The files seem to be renamed winmail.dat and the messege is "the type of attachment can be seen on the device", no matter what type of file it was originally (.mp3, .jpg, etc.).  It seems that this has just started happening in the last day or two.
