BlackBerry Smartphones BBM feature request: blocking messages broadcast

I searched this forum and (surprisingly) not found references to what is perhaps the most annoying 'feature' that LINE has implemented since I've owned a Bay. In providing the function of dissemination in the new versions of Messenger, my berry is now subject to the same stupid, irrelevant, spam stupid and/or non-original jokes/rumors/prayer-request type that I keep vigorously against my Inbox. However, while I can set up filters and rules to block these unwanted e-mail messages, there are no these controls don't present in BBM and the only way to effectively counter offenders is to remove them from your list of contacts, which is a sledgehammer vs. nut solution, to say the least.

In my contacts list, there are some people who regularly send such messages and then there are others who are completely irritated by them, like me, but then make the situation worse by sending broadcasts aggravated, bad character complain the previous messages. When you have a couple hundred contacts, it can really become quite ridiculous sometimes day when a popular joke or even walked around.

So, I would ask that the BBM dev team seriously investigate add an option 'Block' diffuse - ideally on a per contact basis, but I'd settle for a solution like all or nothing, as I am willing to sacrifice the 1% of useful messages that I receive if it spares me the disturbance of other 99%. If my own list of contacts is something to go, I'm not the only person who'd be enormously grateful for it to be implemented as quickly as possible, or I'm the only one grinch in the building?

I just want to remove these shippers from my BBM contacts list. If they ask why, I tell them the truth.

Problem solved for me.

  • 200 blackBerry smartphones + BBM friend request in less than 60 mins

    A few days ago I connected my Pearl 9105 to my laptop and check for updates. After that I got 200 friend requests on my BBM and all in Arabic, get them always at a rate of 2 hour. I tried to uninstall BBM it's something that I use very rarely (I have 2 people on my friends list of BBM) this has resulted in many text messages, so reinstalled BBM. Is there anyway to stop these so-called friend requests? how it happens that it seems maybe I got a virus from the BB desktop, and if so how can I get rid of him? is it possible to change my username BBM? I had to turn off my alert tone because it drove me crazy about her going all the time and now miss important SMS

    can someone help me please?

    I tried the 3store where I got on and they had no idea either

    Thank you very much

    Wow, you're going to the three links in your PIN?

    Very weird. I have the feeling that you google another thing that your PIN.

    Well, you can try blocks messages of all PINS to your BlackBerry in Options > Security > firewall.

    Block "PIN".

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM do not send messages

    My BBM can receive messages but cannot send, I tried everything to remedy as to reset the phone, updating the software of bbm surveys, return a registration message. Can anyone help please?

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come):

    (1) registry HRT

    • Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table > (it matter little what line is current) > sign up now

    (2) Service reference books

    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then please provide a fuller description of what exactly happens when you try to send a BBM message.

    Thank you!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM Broadcast lacking feature (block)

    I didn't know how to contact RIM support for this issue, but I think that MANY on THIS PLANET need RIM to invent a few Blocker to broadcast. (i.e. block annoying people on my bbm list who just can't stop spamming)

    I don't delete them are an ideal subject. I want again to contact and be contacted by them. Talk to them does not work either.

    RIM, PLEASE DO SOMETHING! It's just a BUTTON you add to make your customers satisfied and no irritated

    All those in favour please COMMENT AND SUPPORT!

    badourette wrote:

    Nope to talk to them did not work. That they either were too busy with broadcast msgs silly (that in order to read what I asked not to do) OR they have forgotten everything simply because some of my friends/family have what is close to 70-100 bbm contacts.

    Seriously, I think that RIM has not thought it carefully. Its getting on my nerves. I did not sign my contract for THIS.

    lol, your friends are on edge, and it's the fault of the RIM.

    My eggs were cooked hard this morning. I don't blame RIM for it too because I looked at my BlackBerry too long during their cooking. There is a certain amount of personal responsibility that you have in this area.

  • BlackBerry smartphone App Inaccessible World - Error Message "App World has been blocked"

    Dear all,

    I recently bought one of mark Sprint Blackberry Curve 9350 (in excellent condition) on Amazon, and the phone is fully functional, except that whenever I try to access the Blackberry App World I get a pop-up message reading "App World has been blocked".

    At first, when I changed my line of Sprint prior to my new curve, the phone has completely wiped and reset.  I started to use the various functions and only a few days later, realized that I can't access App World.  I talk to several representatives of Sprint and in the few days has taken the following steps, all without success:

    Uninstalled and reinstalled App World

    Do you have a Batt pull with the phone on, uninstalled and reinstalled App World and made another Batt-sweater

    Addict connected the phone to my laptop computer and uninstalled App World via Blackberry Desktop Manager

    As I bought the phone on Amazon, I do not think the guaranteed protection applies.  However, it seems incongruous that all other applications and the phone features work, with the exception of the App World.

    Could someone please suggest measures to address the problem and to App World accessible?

    Also, could someone please advise if I can bypass the App World app and install Blackberry apps on the curve directly through the Blackberry Desktop Manager and, if so, what steps are?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Colby

    Hello

    From this description, I suspect that a latent policy is on your BB that blocks AW. Normally, the error message would say more than that you reported and would be more indicative... but it's I think of what you have provided.

    To clean, you have actually several things you need to do... from checking to see if it is indeed the case:

    • KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    Unfortunately, there are also a few situations with 'stealth' COMPUTER strategies that exist, but are not actually display as per the above. Again, the complete error message may have provided a better hint this topic.

    However, I think you need to take steps in any case, especially in light of your method of supply. Reference:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    Although it may look as if someone has or do you a lot of that, I think you need to see it again to be sure. None of these methods to WIPE would actually have relatively far BB COMPUTING policy. Instead, you must run the ResetToFactory process, which I recommend you do instead of (or in addition to) the WIPE which recommends the KB:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    In addition, you must be careful if you have already placed on the BB data that you need to maintain. You can backup/restore your device before and after these wipes, but you must be careful when you restore... don't do a full restore or you will simply put the return policy on board IT again. On the contrary, do a selective restore only the databases that you need and be 100% sure to avoid any database which have nothing to do with politics:

    • KB03974 List of database for the blackBerry smartphone

    Finally... given this situation, it is quite possible that there are additional challenges with this specific BB. For example, if the BRI account is locked due to the BB being previously reported as lost or stolen, nothing don't you can do about it, and you will never be able to have all the services. But Orange should definitely be able to tell if that is the case.

    These methods exist:

    • KB14473 How to install an application on a smart phone BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Desktop Software
    • KB04670 Install a third-party application with the Application Loader
    • KB28715 How to install BlackBerry App World applications, using a computer system

    However, there is no way of knowing if the it policy will also block these methods.

    Good luck and let us know!

    1. Then, go to Options > device > Applications and scroll the Messenger app and do not click it, just highlight it. Click Menu > delete and remove the application.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones location of saved Text messages and downloads please as a desire to update the device software

    I have a Blackberry 9300. I noticed while testing option 'restore' in Blackberry Desktop Software 'Saved messages' is grey so not able to restore and downloaded programs were not included in the backup course so I'm delaying the update of the OS 6 bundle OS 6 bundle 1879 2949 until I can get these issues resolved. First of all, where are my saved text messages would be they located on the SD card? Secondly, where are the downloaded applications and how would bring him back, I should reinstall individually or is there a better method I guess updating the software of the device would eliminate any reference to them? Thanks in advance, Marcia

    My problem, I think that will be most of the downloads and installations have been from the Blackberry web, although "My World" lists apps, I have only the option to remove and reinstall yet if I so choose. That's why I need to dig a little deeper on the aspect of the place here.

    To reinstall your applications, see this KB:

    You may also need to clear the cache of application AppWorld:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

    • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

    4 AppWorld must close

    5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync).

    If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

    I was also interested to read your information on the primary database of smartphone that made me wonder if it was at this location that the saved text messages were built. I mention this as I save some of my text messages I can consult at any time by selecting 'View the Messages stored' in the menu messages text, which lists the emails and text messages, that you saved.

    The Interface of Messages is against the databases on the BB... Watch a saved messages can be as simple as a filter that is applied to display only those, but always from the same database. Also understand that the 'Messages' is a term Super set, with "email", "SMS", and other types of messages into subsets.

    willismc wrote:
    Saving messages electronic elsewhere are not a problem but saved SMS backup does not seem to be an option, why would I need to check this feature before upgrading the device software. Appreciate your answer to that one.

    As I said, I suspect saved SMS Messages to be a subset of the base of great set 'SMS Messages"together with the message 'saved' being a subset within this database.

    I can't answer definitively for you because I've never had the problem you are experiencing. You may need to test to know for sure.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM disappeared after the 7.0.1 update

    I've updated BBM from version 7 to 7.0.1. After the reboot, I found that my BBM was gone. I checked my world in Blackberry World, to see that it is installed, but it was gone. So I had all my BBM Messages messages. Make a restore from a previous backup has not resolved the problem, 7.0.1 remained. I had to reinstall version 6 to BBM. Version 6 installation means that I've lost the BB voice that came with v7. Nobody knows where and how can I get the previous version 7.0.1. IE version 7?

    Still confused, because I do not see you. By "record", I assume you mean the separate E-mail icon that was created when you went ahead and created the email account this time again? When it works correctly, you have really no duplicates - instead, you have the same email showing in two different places... one 'mirror' of the other, in a sense.

    But in fact should not do, however, so I'll notify then what do you is of (please, this time, to do this and nothing more!):

    2. Perform a battery pull reboot
    3. Drive again the steps of the post 4 above (this time, however, please tell me that "done you these steps"... Please confirm each step translates exactly as I indicated above)
