BlackBerry Smartphones "back" button goes to menu (990 "BOLD", BBOS7, Rogers)

Recently "back" button of my Bold 9900 started this menu to toggle the applications instead of just close the open menu or return to the previous application. Is it possible to make it work as before? Checked the options, it's not anywhere I can see.

Hello and welcome to the community!

Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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.

Best!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not do default MENU full "BOLD"

    I want to have more than 6 icons on the main screen.  I'd rather see 18 icons as you see when you click on the menu button.

    I go to the Options.

    Then screen/keyboard.

    Then scroll down and see the Menu Style.

    Menu Style can be 'Short Menu' or «Full Menu»

    Any menu I chose, I get only 6 icons on the main screen.

    Is this a bug?

    No one can figure how to get rid of this quick menu screen?

    Thank you

    You place the ALX/COD files on your PC and don't forget where you put them.

    You open Desktop Manager > Application Loader and use Add button to locate the ALX/COD files. Search the ALX file and click on it and follow the prompts from there...

  • Smartphones from blackBerry PlayBook: back button after download starts

    I found something embarrassing in the App World App on the PlayBook: when you start to download an application, open the list of installed applications, but there is no back button to go back to the app I just downloaded (or to the category, the app was in). So now I must get back to the categories and go to the sub-category (if I remember) and scroll down to where I stopped.

    Would be nice if the PlayBook AppWorld App Team could add a button like this

    This problem has been fixed with OS 1.0.5.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones lock button does not work after update

    Since the last update on my Blackberry Bold 9780 the 'lock' button no longer works.  How to solve this?

    You can try without decommissioning of your BlackBerry smartphone to the previous version to test it for me?

    Plug your smart phone BlackBerry on your PC and then launch the BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Before you do anything that this, backup your device.  Then click on the device and then update.  Choose see other Versions in the pop up screen then choose 6.0.0.461 from the list.

    If you can try this when you have the opportunity, so I would like to know if the lock button works, it will be useful in the diagnosis, be it a bug of software or a physical problem with the device.  You can let me know the results.

    Thank you!

  • BlackBerry smartphones is this a problem with my Bold 9700 flash memory?

    A few annoying problems recently with my Bold 9700.

    First, my Blackberry has suddenly started to massively delete recent appointments in my calendar, which will attempt to remove them from my Outlook calendar when I synchronize the device to my laptop.  This has not happened before, and I checked to make sure that the schedule is set to never delete nominations, and it is set correctly.

    Second, my Blackberry App World application (both on the device and online) does not display one of my installed applications, except one, but they are all still on the device and working properly.  I'm 18 apps installed from BB App World, beyond the pre-installed applications on the device, which are less than 10 MB in total size.

    The reason I think that the problem could be linked to the internal flash memory is that whenever I want to install an application, I usually get a message indicating there is enough memory and I have to uninstall some other applications to free up space.  When I checked my memory earlier, he said that had less than 1 MB.  I restarted the machine and now it tells me there is 12.2 MB of available space, which always seems incredibly low for me since I installed only about 10 MB of my own applications.  So, I delete the file all attachments of the device and do not keep e-mail on the device beyond 30 days, and all media is stored on flash cards, not in the device memory.

    The most important question I have to solve is how to prevent the device to delete data from calendar (it keeps recurring appointments, but has been deleted and everything before about two weeks ago).

    Hello

    It's an automatic protection mechanism with BBs. During the AppMemory (not the device, no media memory card memory) get low, the BB must start deleting things to preserve its ability to operate. Unfortunately, he really can't go after data... it can't really go after installed applications. Here are some tips to use:

    • KB02843 What is the function of low memory manager on the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB14320 How to maximize space and power battery life on the BlackBerry smartphone
      • KB14213 Call logs, SMS text and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB10183 E-mail messages are removed from the BlackBerry device until the messages expire

    In addition, it is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. On the contrary, to close an application, tap on and select 'Close' or 'Quit'... which force the application to be closed, freeing resources for your new use it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

    Now, AppMemory is not just for the apps... the real BB operating system is here as well. Depending on the options you have included, which might be things bloating as well.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not get appworld on BB Bold AT & T

    I can't get appworld on my Blackberry "BOLD", I tried to install via USB and tried the blackberry browser method. I contacted customer support AT & T they told to activate blackberry ot.

    I have a BB Bold 9000 with 4.6.0.167 (latest firmware). I meet the requirements for the appworld (I have a trackball).

    Whenever I try to download it. It is said that my blackberry is not compatible, even if it meets the requirements.

    If you need information more than just ask.

    Can someone help me to get appworld on my blackberry?

    If you don't have a BIS or BES plan, it won't work - even if you are connected over wi - fi.

    I ran the same problem with my "BOLD" on AT & T until I put it in service (I used the SIM card from my iPhone).

  • BlackBerry Smartphones icons disappeared and the menu won't pull up.

    OK, so I have a 8310.  I left my phone in the car for a few days (maybe something could have been by pressing one of the buttons while he sat there?) and when I picked it up, all my icons had been activated around and nothing was located where it was when I used the latter.  Everything worked fine, just all of the application and the homescreen icons were all scrambled to the top.

    This is the case, a * beep *, I decided to try to move the icons and put them back where they belonged.  I was able to highlite an icon and move it, but when I tried to finish the move sit icon where I wanted, the icon would be to just move with the trackball and has refused to sit in one place and stay there.

    Then I get a call on my phone and everthing is now the country of Wonderland with Alice and the White Rabbit!  All my icons have left the home screen, and I can't pull up the menu screen.  The trackball seems to work very well.  The blackberry icon button (between the button ' to call ' green and the trackball) seems to work (when the screen is black, you can push it and the screen lights up) but when you press it, the menu won't pull up.

    I thought that maybe I hid all the icons somehow?  I'm just confused on this one.  All the information at the top of the screen is still there.  Time, date, signal strength, network and all my message alert icons are visible.  I use the image as background is under the eyes, just all the icons disappeared and I can still shoot to the top of the menu to fix.

    1. press the Menu key and click SHOW EVERYTHING, as well as show that everything is checked.

    Now look around and see if you the icons. If this menu button still does not work...

    2 perform a reboot of the device: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    A little luck?

    3. If still nothing, try to go to the Options icon if you can find and choose themes and change the themes... now all the icons?

    If you can't find the Options icon, press the green line to enter the call log.

    Press the Menu key > Options > General and make Options scroll down with a line to the home screen and the value to no.

    Now, go back to the home screen of the BlackBerry and press O (oh), alpha to zero. Who will pull up in your Options menu now

  • Suddenly disappeared blackBerry Smartphones Email button

    I am unable to open E-mail folder of my Bold 9700 because the e-mail button is gone.  I searched all folders and the button is not found.  The e-mail on the home page icon shows that there are pending emails, but I can't access it because there is no e-mail button click.  This is the 2nd time this has happened.  1st time was just after I upgraded from OS5 OS6 for several months ago.  The button has disappeared then reappeared just about 2 weeks later.  This time, any upgrade or update has been involved.  The button was there; next toime I looked it was not.  Bedside adjustment option also disappeared in the connections to manage folder.  If the green light on the front of the phone flashes continually, and I don't know how to stop it without closing all connections.  Help, please.  Thank you.

    1. on your home screen, press Menu > SHOW ALL, so that ALL DISPLAY is checked.
    2. look in EVERY folder on your device... Applications, instant messaging, downloads, etc.
    If you don't see it still, look at the Options > advanced > Applications. Do you not see it listed there?

    IF this fails to find the e-mail folder, do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way:

    With the BlackBerry powereddevice, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this way is prescirbed for most the gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones lock button will not lock password

    So I want to password protect my bberry. When I try to lock the camera using the menu button, everything works fine. If I press the lock (on the top of the unit) button or the "*" key when I try to unlock the phone it does NOT ask for a password. Clues?

    What you're saying, is that the top button is just for the keyboard/screen lock, but not password lock? And since it is not a key to convenienve it cannot be configured to do otherwise?

    So I can just do the convenience key (right rear) password lock keyboard/screen? I think it is the only solution. You have another idea?

  • Use of blackBerry Smartphones left button practice to immediately go to the homepage of the storm

    Hello

    I found the options to change the left convenience button to open some applications. I'm doing the practical left button go directly to the homepage of the storm that has two or three rows of applications. I always catch myself stuck in the main menu page that contains all the icons for applications and I want to be able to go quickly to the front page. Is it possible to map the practical opening to this page left button. I see a lot of options to map the convenience key but not the one I want.

    Thank you, John

    Choose the option titled "Application list".  Who should be the one you're looking for!

    (And just in case you don't know where to change the settings (although it seems you know), go to Options > keyboard/screen, and then scroll to the bottom to the left side convenience key and select list of applications it.)

    Two other ways to access the home screen application list is to press the button end call (red) to return to the home screen showing the wallpaper, then press once the screen or press the BB menu key.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Volume button

    I have a Torch 9800 and the volume buttons on the right side of my phone doesn't seem to work with any music program (Pandora, Slacker Radio, etc.) than the normal music program that comes with the phone. Is there something I need to do to set up the keys for the music of third party programs? It is used to work very well with these programs, but not more!

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    But there is no need to have been exposed only to the water to ruin your keyboard.

    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered. Really, it is more common than you think.
    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
    4. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):
    * Place the BB in a container of rice uncooked dry, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    * On top of any heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    * On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny
