BlackBerry Smartphones changing "synchronize using" for contacts

I used to use BES, but now I'm on BIS.

I want to synchronize my contacts with Google Apps / Gmail, but all my existing contacts say "synchronize using the: Desktop", while the new contacts I create say "using synchronization: [email protected]". "

How can I move my contacts from Gmail?

Thank you

Weird. I thought I posted a follow-up. I wanted to move the contacts you want to synchronize with my Gmail / Google Apps account here, that's how I got it working:

Download the free "ABC Amber Blackberry Editor" (not to be confused with ABC Amber Blackberry Converter, I paid $19.95 for which it did not help) among Free Download ABC Amber BlackBerry Editor, edit contacts in IPD files.

Create a backup of your contacts via Blackberry Desktop Manager.

Create a new backup (via the backup and restore-> advanced) only on the "Address Book - All" database, and save this as a separate file, IPD.

Clear (empty) both the 'address book' and the 'address book' all databases.

ABC Amber Blackberry Converter, open the second IPD file and save it as an IPD file another (in hindsight, I wonder if this step is not necessary).

Use the Fund Manager to restore from that IPD file. All contacts are now under the BIS address.

The strange thing is though (nothing to do with my previous question), if I edit a Contact in Google Apps / GMAIL, address, city, State and zip all move in the field "address" in my BB contacts application (all on one line). I can change it back to normal (i.e. address, city, State and zip in their individual fields) on my BB, but the next time I have edit the contact in Google Apps, it goes back on a single line.

(I BIS contact SYNC, don't use BES).

    If yours is understood BBM, as the dependence on the send your service books to activate BBM.

    At first I could just type a name from the home screen and it sought contacts, dial and press Green call button.

    Now, he's searching everything except contacts-i must go in first contacts to call someone.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not use quick key to search for contact & no history when lock phone

    Hi all

    I just got a new Torch 9800 that is connected to & configured server of my company blackberry. I also use Chinese entry (writing function key) and two problems below, pls help:

    (1) cannot use the quick key to search for contact when using phone, for example to enter a 'P', it will show "Peter" and "Peggy" from the contact list contact. I can only choose after selecting "call for contacts.
    Initially, I didn't know when this function has stopped. After several rounds of tests, more likely, it happened after I switched the input to the Chinese language and has not switched back to English at the same time.

    I found that several KBs can relate to this problem, KB13326, 14372, 04052. And followed the advice but still don't work except if I cold start the phone, i.e. remove the battery. He returned to normal. Once I have change the language again, the problem returns.

    (2) I put my phone to the phone call when it is locked. When the phone is locked, cannot display call log history. A few days before, he was not. Don't know what that value and make this problem.

    In addition, how to cold start the phone without out the battery and install additional appl (company does not download other app).

    Thanks in advance.

    Patrick.

    If your company blocks applications, there is not much you can do, but pray with IT to let you have access to them.

    There is an app called quickpull that can restart the phone, but a battery pull works best to clear the temporary files and the cache.

    Sorry I never messed with the languages.

  • Need for blackBerry Smartphones to synchronize with MS Outlook backup the old files

    Hello

    I'm kinda stuck with my Blackberry Bold 9700.  He wiped my old entries in the calendar (even though I have "Keep forever" selected in options), but I need the calendar last points because I used it for the follow-up of meetings, events, etc.

    Before you reinstall an old backup, copy in Outlook and then re - install my current version is there any how else to get this info on the file backup and in Outlook.  I really want to install a previous version of the backup on my phone because when I do, he never wears on a large number of the phone ringing, settings, etc., and I still need to do to get things to normal.

    Help, please!

    (By the way, I use an older version of the device software on my phone (5.0.0.714) because I can't stand display new calendar version.)

    If you do want to restore a previous backup schedule, you can - calendar only, nothing else.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones changing approval to applications for 8520

    Is it possible to change the permission of 'Desktop To Go Applications' my word, excel, ppt and pdf of my curve8520? It is displayed as "deny".

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    There are dozens of permission settings... I have no way, what said you, namely that which shows that 'Deny '...

    But, if you can change that setting, then your likely BB is now or was formerly associated with a corporate BES environment, and a BES it policy is on board which is preventing access to this permission setting.

    If you are currently a member of BES, then you need to talk to your admins BES to access this special permission setting.

    If you are not currently associated with BES, TI latent policy was deleted not the when the BB is provided for you... and you need to remove. Please see this KB and consider very special on all the warnings about the loss of data:

    Having bought just my BB "BOLD", I managed to get emails from my PC automatically on my BB "BOLD" - but I don't know how to download/synchronize my Windows Contacts for my BB "BOLD".

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can I edit my Contact list of my PC?

    When I connect my BB 9800 to my laptop I don't see the list of contacts on my BB using Windows Explorer.  I would like to be able to do this because my Contact list only contains phone numbers (a report of my previous cell phone) and I want to add email addresses.  I have a lot of entries to change and it would be difficult with the keys of BB.

    If I can't do it while only connected to my BB is there a way I can do a "Contact list" on my PC and then export it to my BB?  Thank you, Peter

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    A few things to discuss... so bear with me...

    (1) contrary to others how things, RIM does not provide desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

    • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

    (2) RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

    • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

    (3) If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

    • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
      KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
    • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

    So your choice is, IMO, to continue to use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO)... then choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    IPD files are designed for one purpose... backup and restore. They are not intended for any other use. There are 3rd party IPD readers out there (ABC Amber?), but I don't know if they allow the edition you want. But your problem is actually not that... on the contrary, your problem is how to enable the use of a PIM desktop as the master of your data and who synchronize with your BB. Therefore, keep reading...

    Unlike other how things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

    • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

    So, your path is, IMO, choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then download your data out of your BB and in the desktop PIM (a single one-way synchronization of your BB to the PIM, should achieve). Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM on a permanent basis:

    Hey,.

    I have a BB Bold 9780 running OS of Vodacom

    However, I use a Cell C contract.

    I tried wiping the device and load a generic operating system but it still continues using Vodacom as the provider of the default operating system which is a problem because it is blocking my signal to connect to the BB Internet Service.

    • 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 you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones changes to the calendar after update

    I recently did the software update proposed in consequence of which I had to re - install Facebook. Since then, I found that when I go to enter a new appointment, there are some new top that says send to help: and I choose Facebook, home, or office (the 2 is what I call my email accounts)

    I don't want this option here, especially since the default value is Facebook (he seems to be in alphabetical order)

    Is it possible to get rid of this option or at least change it so I can choose my own default?

    Hello

    The BlackBerry smartphone has the ability to maintain multiple calendars. You can select your timetable and services default e-mail to the title of the default Services Options-Advanced Options.

    Send using option is there Design and cannot be deleted because it specifies which calendar you want to use for your appointment you will enter in.
