BlackBerry Smartphones, blocking a volley BB Bold 9000 - Vodafone

This is my first post on the BB community forum. To be with, l, I would like to say a warm hello to everything that you guys.

I hope that I am not rest this problem, if there is a similar thread, please re - direct me to it.

So, I am owner of a curve 8520, had with a full data plan Orange Romania and I have pretty much everything that I need on this subject, perfect phone

One of my friends recently got a BB Bold 9000, but he did not have a data only plan if no internet connection 3G for him, only a wi - fi connection. We had time to "pimping" his aircraft, updated the software, installed a few applications from my PC.

Now, the phone got stolen last night, and we know that he BBs are the best phones because of their safety. So we decided to block it and I started looking for how to do this.

So far, I know that is by providing the IMEI code of the device to the carrier, which will ban it, which makes the phone unusable for calls.

The second way, in my opinion, is related to the BlackBerry Protect application. Now, I don't know if it had installed the application, I tend to believe that there can be no...

My question is, if we know that the pin of the device, IMEI, and all the other news that comes with the box and the device was not installed the BB Protect application, can't we still block the phone?

I even read that there is this cool feature that allows the person who holds the stolen phone to call just one number to give it.

I think that the main problem here is going to be proving the phone is actually hers since he got his aunt and he doesn't have a contract of carriage, it uses the prepaid credit to call.

I believe that the version of the software on the device is 5.0.0.681 (Bundle 1168, platform 5.2.0.67) if that helps, but I can't guarantee that. The version is the one I have on my phone that I did not update since I got it, and we him demoted to on my CD of support because he had some problems with the former owner.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening!

The phone is stolen, not much, you can do but in order to report this to the carrier and let them deal with him.  Without blackberry protect, don't know how you can try the other stuff you mentioned.  The phone could be in a dumpster somewhere now, so I would not spend a lot of time on it.  Report stolen from the carrier and, hopefully, he can get soon replaced.

Please, on this new device, download blackberry protect.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If your BB is still enabled on your business system, you must talk to your BES admins... they apply this block through BES IT policy.

    If you want to say that you are separate from your company and no longer use their services, then their BES admins does not correctly clean your device when they gave it to you. In this case, you need this:

    You must of course a full backup first, the instructions for which you can find in my auto-sig on this post. But when you restore, make sure you DON'T make a full restore... just do a selective restore of the databases you need (e.g., contacts, calendar, etc.), especially avoiding any database that have nothing to with politics COMPUTER, company, etc.. If you do not restore those, you find yourself right back where you are now, because who will dutifully restore politics to the TI back to your BB.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There is virtually no diagnosis of those - they are the equivalent of random errors in Windows for which trace the root cause is futile. Basically, here's the last out in the programming code - some event occurred for which there is no event handler in the code. The patch is an update of the code that handles the event... but, again, what is the event is almost impossible. So, there are a few things to try:

    Sometimes, the code simply is damaged and needs to be updated - just like a reboot:

    • 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.

    If it doesn't boot properly, then you need to try Safe Mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode

    There may be a code updated to the value of the carrier - check out them through this Portal:

    The toughest possible causes are a bad application behave. To find it, there are two options. Is to see if you can read the log file:

    Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type "lglg". (You won't see anything as you type). This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably a lot of pages) until you see a line that says "eception execption. Click on this line. The application name will be in the info. Alternative methods to implement the newspapers are in this KB:

    • KB05349 How to activate, view, and extract the the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone

    The other method is to remove the apps one at a time, wait a while between the two (I usually recommend a week), until the problem stops... revealing the offending application. Yet another method is to recharge the BB OS itself, leaving little time between the addition of other applications on the BB in order to be able to determine exactly what is the cause.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones blocked broswer

    Hello

    I use a 9900 AT & T unlocked, whenever I try to access internet/browser I get an error: blocked browser.

    I have tried reloading the software to the latest version, register the device, return service directories. Nothing works...

    can you advice of all the other options?

    Hello nahmean_11

    In the error message, it shows that you lack, BlackBerry data Plan or data plan normal but as you said that you have a data plan unlimited which should at least allow lets you browse. That your device isn't allow it could happen only under two conditions.

    As you say it is a device to unlock the AT & T, but I think only under the condition that two may not allow you to use these services. First of all if this device is still blocked for the previous carrier and this is not Unlocked.To know that on your home screen, go to:

     

    OS 6.0 and beyond:

    Options > device > Advanced system settings > SIM card

    Type MEPD on the screen (you will not see the letters that you type on the screen).

    Look for the network. If you see active, your BlackBerry is LOCKED. And if the people with reduced mobility, so your BlackBerry is UNLOCKED.

    Second, there is still a policy on the device which restricts this service and this case try this:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones unable to take picture Bold 9780... kindly help!

    Impossible to take the picture. Through the BlackBerry. Expert s/w came to know that a file is missing, named "javax.microedition.media" and show msg "javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Unable to take picture.
    Kindly help!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    A missing file is difficult to come back in and of itself. On the contrary, a clean reload of the OS is a much better method to retrieve it. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:
