BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Curve 8900 flashing LED

Hello

I understand that a red LED means a new message, Voice Mail etc and I know as a yellow/green, low battery LED. I also understand that a green means that you have coverage.

But I don't know if I should turn my green LED coverage indicator. Someone of you have it, you would say it is useful to have on. Also dose it make the power of the battery down faster?

Thanks in advance!

It's really a personal decision. I used to leave my LED coverage indicator, then a year ago I started leaving what he set to off.

Some people find annoying flashing, I round it's reassuring.

Battery? Well, Yes, techincally Yes it causes some brains because the LED must consume some power. Much, not really.

So, if you find it useful, then leave it on.

    You can turn off the red flashing notification by going to

    This will cause the unit to not display the red flashing LED and you will not see a red * click the e-mail until the upper part of the screen.

    The icon options should be on the device, if you are adamant that you can't find it then I would suggest that reload the software on the device.

    Sorry, but will not disable the led red LED, GRAHAM of GOD. Only, it will disable the indicator red star on the e-mail inbox.

    To disable the LED indicator, edit your profiles.

    1. Select the profiles icon

    2. a box will appear where you can quickly choose between Loud, vibrate, quiet, normal, phone only, and outside.

    3. If you want to change the notification of messages assigned for device applications, and then select the last option, advanced options

    4. Select the profile you want to change. (Loud, vibrate, quiet, Normal (default), phone only, Off)
    Note: on the 8100, 8800 and 8300 models: do not click on the trackball. Instead of this, click on the menu button to the left of the trackball).
    Note: The profile that is in use will tell: (active)

    5. you will now see a list of all applications that can have an assigned tone (browser, calendar, level 1 Messages, Messages ([email protected]), Messenger, MMS, phone, SMS, job ect..)

    6. Select the application you want to change the tone / in this case, notification Messages, or your specific e-mail address

    7. you can now edit the tones of the case and Holster / notifications.
    (a) select between: none, Tone, vibrate, vibrate + tone
    (b) select the range that you want to use
    (c) Select Volume (the options are mute, low, medium, high, climbing)
    (d) to select the number of beeps (the options are 1, 2, 3)
    (e) select Repeat Notification (options are None, flashing LED)
    (f) if value vibrator or vibrate + tone and select number of Vibrations (the options are 1, 2, 3)

    8. repeat a to e for each of the applications set out in number 5 above

  • BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphones cannot transfer media from my computer

    I have a Curve 8900 without SIM card I use strictly offline and via Wi - Fi. (No cell connection)

    When I plug it into my computer with a USB cable, it syncs email, contacts and calendar with no problem at all.

    However, when I try to transfer music, photos or videos to and from the BB, I get a message saying "there was a problem so he tried to connect with your smart phone BlackBerry." He then proposed the link "troubleshoot my connection.

    If I go into the "Device Options" section of Desktop software, I can check the "Organizer" or boxes "my computer's date and time...» ' under 'Synchronize' but the 'Media' checkbox is grayed out and cannot be verified.

    The phone does not have a memory card or SIM inside.  Do I need one or two of them?

    How can I get this unit to connect correctly to the computer?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Bought a MicroSD card for it today - runs like a champ!  Thanks for the help!

  • Smartphones blackBerry Curve 8900 battery life

    The life of the battery on my Curve 8900 seems to be getting worse. The phone is only 4 m. Need to recharge every day, but the use is minimal - used for texts and facebook + some downloaded items from the world of BB. I got disabling the wi - fi connection, but it seems to make no side. He started the busy day but is now only 12%!

    Someone at - it ideas?

    To avoid the dead quickly on any BlackBerry, most important practice that you can adopt is to ensure CLOSE applications when you are finished using them.

    If you simply press the Red "end call" key to return to the home screen application is actually open and running in the background. If you do this several times, you will have many apps open and therefore your memory will get used. Lack of memory is the main reason for your BlackBerry slows to a crawl or crashes. If you make a habit of actually use the menu button to close the applications that will at least slow this process memory-clogging. You may still do a battery pull or using the "Quickpull" app from time to time when things get slow.

    Similarly, check your applications running in the background. There are four or five applications that will always run fluently (Messages, Call Logs/phone, BlackBerry Messenger, home screen and the browser; there are other third-party applications such as BeeJive and alerts of BlackBerry that will work also in the bottom that you can not close if you want they work). Ensure that the browser is NOT on an active Web page (open the browser and select the Menu > close). Close all other applications that do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or Google Maps).

    Here's some good advice from loading, please read and you will see that many of them will be applicable to you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Curve 8900 Media - music player

    I'm totally frustrated of not being able to solve a problem with playback of music to my Blackberry Curve.

    I copied and recopied approximately 2 GB of music four different moments of the curve.  I can play music from the cumbersome Menu > Explore > Media Card > Blackberry > music path (I have a memory card of 4 GB installed).  Which only allows you to listen to one song at a time, and you press the buttons about 5 just started the next song.

    It just drives me crazy when I go to the menu music to enjoy the amazing features of curved IPOD type such as shuffle, Album, and song lists, nothing is there!  I ask Shuffle, and no song happens to all.  It must be a simple solution, but I can't lose all try more time to understand it... so far my efforts have resulted in NO progress.

    I would be very grateful to get this little piece of advice to solve my problem.  I have Roxio Media Manager installed and just uploaded the 2 GB of music to the curve for the 4th time through Roxio.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    No data will be lost when you do the following: remove the battery while the device is activated.

    Remplacer replace after one minute, let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is corrected.
    Thank you

  • Smartphones to blackBerry Curve 8900, vibrations ring

    Hello

    I'm using curve 8900 and I don't know what is wrong with it but I tried to put the profiles NORMAL to leave only the phone rings with tone and with no vibration but it still vibrates whenever the phone rings. Is it possible, this could be corrected?

    Hmm... last thought would be to create a new profile and adjust your sounds here. See if that fixes the problem. When I got my BB 8900, I did the wizard of switch device, and for some reason any the phone remember my sounds for each of the 5 accounts email I put in place on the phone. To get around that I created a new sound profile. It worked and I did just that. When I install the new software for the phone came out, this sound problem disappeared.

    Next option would be to re - install your BB software.
