BlackBerry Smartphones Device Encryption never complete (padlock icon when it is locked)

Hello

I recently added a password and on Device Encryption on my new (3G) curve 9300. Now I get a padlock just under system date and battery indicator when the phone is locked.

My problem is that the padlock icon is always open, never closed. BlackBerry documentation, I understand that this icon is open until the device has finished encrypting all the files in memory, and then a padlock closed when finished.

My phone is new I have very little in the way of media or additional applications to this topic so I'm expecting to be quite fast, the encryption process. I went on the encryption, there are now almost a week, but my lock is always open on the phone. I tried various passwords, different settings on the screen of encryption options, etc. battery pull but the lock remains open. My phone is actually encrypted?

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I solved the problem by choosing a password that is shorter and more simple, i.e. digital all or all letters seems to work. You must disable encryption so that the phone will allow you to change the password and the turn it back on once you have finished.

My guess is that encrypt the content in the background with a password alphanumeric mixed dark was taking too long & does not complete until the phone has been reduced from the mode standby or turned off at the end of the day. Maybe he would finally completed but who knows? Now complete encryption in less than a minute after I lock the phone & the lock closes the on-screen.

Official support of BlackBerry Twitter weren't much help. They suggested that encryption works only when it is connected to BES & BIS as I am. Obviously isn't true since my crypt phone now on BIS as it should.

I hope this has helped & you get guy TI sort!

  • BlackBerry Messenger Blackberry Smartphones - are encrypted messages?

    Hello

    I was wondering if the messages I send to another contact with Blackberry messenger are encrypted or not? I was looking for this online and all I could find is that the blackberry Messenger is a wrapper of BB-PIN messaging. PIN messages are supposed to is not encrypted from what I could find online - which would mean that BBM messages are not too... I'm just guessing?

    Thank you

    Yes, BlackBerry Messenger is encrypted from end to end, because it uses the PIN messaging as its transport.

    All traffic is exclusively on the RIM infrastructure and it never leaves.
    All BlackBerry devices share a common encryption key that is used for this purpose.

  • BlackBerry smartphones no Personal do Email Setup icon

    I just got a Curve 8310 several days ago.  I went through the installation wizard, and when he got to the part configuration to e-mail my options only 2 have been

    1. I want to use ot an accouint work email with BlackBerry Enterprise Server

    2. I want to ignore the e-mail configuration

    There was nowhere for me to email setup and personal as he says in the book or the tutorial I consulted on the AT & T website.  Under the Blackberry Setup icon, when I click on it only the configuration wizard and configuration bluetooth icons are available, not personal email configuration icon that I continue to read while being available.  I looked everywhere else and not been able to find.

    I did go and create an online account so that I could receive emails, but still I don't know how to set up on my real device.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    After doing some research further in this forum, I came across a few other posts with the same question, and it seemed that their provider I forgot to activate their account data.  I talked to my provider and this is the problem with mine too.  Email configuration icon appeared and everything works fine now.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones device address book phone contacts not showing on incoming calls on new 8900

    Hello

    I just got a 8900 last week which has the latest version of the software on it (V.6.1.114). I transferred some of my old numbers to my SIM card from my camera, but not all - I also entered another 100 or manually directly on the device (long story).

    Now, when I get a call from a number on the SIM card, the call will display the name of the person. However, when I receive a call from a number not in the sim card but is stored memory of the native device, the call does not display the name of the person - instead, it displays the number as if it were an unknown number. However, once the call is completed, call logs show the name of the person.

    Thus, the BBERRY is not the number in the device address book when calls are coming in - it refers only to the SIM card. How can I fix it so that the contacts on the memory of the device also upward when the phone rings? Everyone knows about this problem?

    I called Tmobile tech support in the United States and they couldn't help me except to say that it was a bug and suggest to put my name on the map or by doing a hard reset...

    Thank you
    Beverly

    I found the answer in this old thread, but a configuration options default content SECURITY. Once I put no address names started showing up!

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones! -Lack of message, emails, icons of the camera on "BOLD" 9000

    PS - I just noticed the www browser is missing also.

    Thanks for the reply.  A friend told me to stop the BB, remove the battery and then turn it back on.  The BB took a few mintues to come back but it worked and everything was restored.  He explained that the BB goes through a process of battery conservation and stop all programs in order to save energy.  He thinks that the current BB software is apparently not restored these programs stop you.  Maybe the upgrade of the software you suggested will do just that (?).  In any case, thanks for the effort.

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones / Device Manager issue

    Hey guys, I have a problem.

    I recently acquired a Blackberry 8330 and let me start by saying this: it's one of the best machines I've ever held. It is simply amazing.

    I installed the Device Manager and have been using it without any problem. Then, I went and did an update wireless with my phone, the upgrade of the OS. Since I did this, however, the Manager has recently stopped recognizing my device - my computer recognizes him again, as he charges when it is plugged in and I can always access to the hard drive, but for some reason, I cannot use the Device Manager to do anything - down, States in the Device Manager there is no trendy Black Berry as shown by the 'None' exposed next to the Pin number.

    What can I do? I really need to access blackberry via the Device Manager. Someone, please help > _

    Things I've tried:

    -Restart the Blackberry (both by pressing the red button and pull the battery and re insert)

    -Update the device to the more recent version Manager

    -The latest version is uninstalled, then download and install the version provided with the blackberry (4.2)

    I noticed that the CD that came with the device itself does not contain the most recent edition of the Device Manager, if that means anything. It's just weird that the Device Manager has stopped working after I upgraded. Currently, my OS is V4.5.0.175. I've recently updated both my 8310 Black Berry - same question parents. Before, I could access it via Device Manager. Now, I can't. Please help me!

    In addition, make sure you use only the root USB ports... without hubs (sometimes the front-end ports are hubs... use a rear USB port). And don't forget to try to disable the USB power management in the configuration of your system (Device Manager).

  • Password blackBerry Smartphones device-word of past

  • BlackBerry Smartphones to message notification on two icons?

    User of new bb here... I've just set up my bb to check personal emails. It works very well. However, when I receive a new email, I get email notification and a notification on the message icon. I want notifications by e-mail to inform its icon only... and text messages with its own icon.

    So that's what I did. Once in the messages screen (I did it with messages and e-mail journal), I clicked on menu, then options, then on options General, and then where it says SMS and EMAIL inboxes, I chose separate. I saved and then have left. After having done that, however, he still is advising me on the two icons when I receive a new message.

    What I am doing wrong? Help?

    You have a 'messages' icon that will collect all messages email account.

    You have a second icon to a specific e-mail address. Scroll down to this one, press Menu > hide.

    * Poof * no more notifications in the second icon to annoy you.

    Was a problem with MySpace, found no messages/threads with this specific issue, if you are looking for help.  I noticed in the review for MySpace v1.5 on AppWorld Board there were other owners of the Curve 8330 has the same question:

    Whenever I try to view my friends list, add a friend, or look at someone from another friend list, the application crashes.  If I leave the app to do something else while it loads and try to re - open, I get:

    Untrapped exception:

    java.lang.NullPointerException

    Research on the forums for this error of java, most of the suggestions were to reload the operating system of the device such that it may be corrupted.  As an attempt to solve the problem, last night I upgraded to v4.5 v4.3.  When I have been upgrading completed, my MySpace, AppWorld and Facebook apps has shown under options > advanced > applications, but the icons could not be found.  I even searched the hidden icons and still no luck.  I used the destop application loader to remove these three applications in the device manager.  I then downloaded AppWorld from my (www.blackberry.com) device and once it has been installed it used to download and install MySpace and Facebook.  Once they have downloaded and installed, I turned off and only went to a battery.  Restarts, showed the icons and apps worked... except for the MySpace Friend list: same problem.  I don't remember when this error occurred initially, but I guess it was after the last MySpace app update.  Were not immediately thereafter, however.  I can access my messages, and the home page, but that's all.  I already sent an e-mail to [email protected] with no response

    Any help out there!

    MySpace 1.5.1.7 version is available for download!

    Curiously, the app started working properly a few days there with the exception of slow notifications, but not mistakes.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Help! Trackpad goes upward / downwards when checking for messages!

    My trackpad usually up and down by checking the text messages and whatsapp, but it works normally when checking messages... as it can move up and down in the menu and the internet page, can someone tell me how to fix it? thanksssssss!

    Hello helasws and welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your trackpad.

    To clarify, it doesn't seem to stop the scrolling upwards or downwards when you are in the Messages folder and WhatsApp? On the main home screen you are able to navigate vertically?

    Did you do a restart again by removing the battery?

    Try to perform a Diagnostic self test, as shown in KB16037 using the Self Test application on the BlackBerry smartphone to test the response of the trackpad.

    Let me know the results of the test.

    Thank you!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Hotmail w/BIS is not sync when using Windows Live Messenger

    Hello

    I've got BES both BIS working in my BlackBerry. BES has the email that I use at work. BIS has configured my Hotmail account. Both work fine, but when I tried to use Windows Live Messenger in my BlackBerry I realized that the emails of Hotmail stopped coming.

    So far, that's what I got:

    If I connect to Windows Live Messenger from my BlackBerry, from a Windows computer, or within Hotmail (inside the web browser) I no longer receive mail. Everything I do from my BlackBerry still affects my Hotmail account (mark an e-mail as read, delete or sending an e-mail using my Hotmail account).

    When I sign out of Windows Live Messenger and you receive another email, all delays and the new email come to my BlackBerry and guard mail very well until I connect to Windows Live Messenger again. I do not receive the emails delayed until I get a new once the connection from Windows Live Messenger.

    Already tried battery pull, remove and re-add the account of Hotmail in BIS and uninstall and reinstallation of Windows Live Messenger.

    Please, I know already all the love that some people have on other services of e-mail webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), which helps not at all.

    I searched the web and I have nothing, I hope someone can help me.

    Thanks in advance.
