BlackBerry Smartphones Can I really turn this thing off?

I'm puzzled.  I can turn off my 8900 by holding down the power button.  Or I can go into the menu and choose Disable Power and he says: "Handheld Turning Off, Press Any Key to Abort."  As I understand it, which is truly off the phone, by contrast with the right locking.

But all I have to do is press the power button (for example, the red button "hang up") and the phone turns on again immediately.  I get the T-Mobile logo for a second or two, then I go straight to my home page.  So it does not appear that he is really off.  First of all, I got on the phone and it works, it took 30 seconds or so to start completely.  It seems like it should do it now, too.

If I turn the phone off, I want it to be OFF.  I don't want to come back if one of the big buttons is tapped lightly.  I want him to stay off until I have press and hold this button.  If I turn it off ' ", and put it in my pocket, he could come back and sound when I don't want it.  So, I want to be sure that the phone is really off and it will stay like that.

Is this possible?  I'm just doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help!

There is no other options beside it. It comes default BlackBerry. When you press the RED button, you should get two options. If you choose full power off, then your phone will fill out mode. Now, if you put your phone in a case then there is no option to power on automatically.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones retro lighting keyboard turn on and off by itself

    I got a new Verizon BBTour today, I had no problem to transfer my BlackBerry Storm 9530. I typed my first email tonight and found that the backlight of the keyboard is disabled while I was typing, I was about to get up to turn on the light of the House, then light keyboard turn around himself, then a few seconds later to stop again. He was turning on and off itself.

    Anyone have this problem? or does anyone know if there is a problem or that I need to set up somewhere? I checked the configuration on the screen/keyboard, this is exactly the same as the storm I. Help, please

    Joseph

    The backlight on the keyboard is automatic and the sensitivity does not always fire when you would like to.  But, if you are in low light and keyboard backlight does not instantly, place your hand on the keyboard and he rip off and the light.  If the sensor captures a bit of light, albeit indirect, it turns off the backlight.

    There is not currently of an option to change this behavior and it is battery.  It is not an irregular operation of the device.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not update AppWorld 907 invalid COD

    Hi guys. I bought my Torch 9800 (v6.0.0.570) in 2011 and so far the problem is still not resolved. Everytime I open the AppWorld

    -A message appears: "To continue to use Blackberry App World, you must upgrade your current version."

    - Then I download the update.

    Whenever the 99% achieved download bar, suddenly a message appears "907 invalid COD".

    I can't even delete my BB AppWorld. There is no option "Delete" in "Application Management" or "Modules".

    Hi Firdaus92

    In this case, it is advisable to upgrade the version of your operating system to the v6.0.0.756

    Search and download your OS and everything above applies

    By sdgardne 

     

    However, here's what I propose...

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find complete instructions via the link in my sig auto below. (It's probably debatable given the errors you have... it is likely that your data are already parts of your device, which means that you must now rely on a backup you took before that happened.)

    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.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    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:

    Hello! I BBCurve9380 and somehow it just stopped making the calls, but I can still receive. I don't know if it's on the changed settings but on what I read in other forums, it's on the it policy.

On the contrary, do only a selective restore of only those databases that you absolutely need (e.g., contacts, calendar, messages) and specifically avoid restore databases that have nothing to do with HIM, political, business or other similar things. If you restore those, you'll just be right back where you are now, as a full restore will conscientiously COMPUTER policy again on your device.

    Note Please that I really have no idea if doing this will restore your ability to make calls... 100% of the information I have comes from what you have posted here. I'm guessing that the policy could be the cause of your problems, but I can't know that. No matter, since there is an IT strategy on board and you are not on BES, then you definitely want to get that deleted. But regarding if that will restore your ability to make calls, I have no way to predict the future... If something is the cause of this specific problem, then we'll have to deal with this - AFTER you remove the it policy so that we can be sure it does not hinder anything else.

    I think you should change the operating system on your device to the latest operating system 7.0 for your model.

    Operating system device provided are "released" by specific carriers once that they are certified and trained to their support technicians, but still, you are able to load any carrier the same model by following the instructions below.

    See the link below to download it and follow these simple instructions.

    First find your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can BB be hacked?

    Hello

    I'm considering the purchase of a smartphone BB because their improved security features. However, a friend of mine mentioned that a user in his company reported being hacked on a trip. This person said that during his trip, the BB rebooted several times and that he had seen the cursor in its smartphone moving by itself. This is why he thinks that it was hacked.

    Would this be possible?

    The worst cases involving your friend's phone might be that someone got ahold of him, read his emails, copied some of his contacts to their list, sent a few offensive SMS messages from his phone and made a few calls long distances on its nickel.  At present, there is no Trojan known for BlackBerry phones.

    If the worst case is in its limits of tolerance, it will be fine.  If it is paranoid that more occurred that, he can simply make a backup of data, wipe the phone, restore the backup on his phone and continue knowing that her phone is secure.

    I hope that clears things up for you and your friend.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can I recover my blackberry protect data backup on a Mac?

    My blackberry 9360 a curve was stolen a few days ago, I never it synced with my computer but I still saved on blackberry protect and I can access my data if I go to protect.blackberry.com and login with my blackberry ID. I see that my backup files exist but I can't download them and I can't get a new blackberry at the moment but I really need all my contacts and phone numbers, is anyway that I could retrieve this information on my macbook?

    Hello

    BB Protect backup files are only single use... to restore to a BB device. It has no other use of them. Where the reason for which this BB Protect is a component very well to a good backup, but in no case should be considered to be the only component.

    If you can access another BB, even for a short period, you can restore it and then save it on your computer, from which you can get 3rd party applications to extract the local backup data in human readable format. However, I've never heard of these tools for MAC... but also, I don't look for MAC stuff.

    If you don't try this (restoration of BB Protect for an another BB), you must be very careful... to refer:

    Cannot receive or send emails on blackberry - message reads "eception exception DSSMA (5): 2 invalid state.

    OK the email on laptop - how I grind

    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:

    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:

    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.

    Hello

    If you've got reliable sources (e.g., BBWorld) apps and they are therefore particularly compatible with your device and the OS level, then it is possible that you have a policy COMPUTER on Board that is blocking them. Reference:

    If you have a COMPUTER policy and are not part of BES, then the question arises why the it policy exists on your device. In general, it's because you got 2nd hand device and the seller does not correctly clean it... refer:

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