• BlackBerry smartphones turn off GPS.

  I'm new to BlackBerry.

  I turned on the GPS to try it out and it works fine.  I then return to the E911.  I expected that GPS would not work then, but it also proved that the browser does not work either.  I activated the GPS back but the browser worked fine.

  If I leave the GPS on:

  Drain the battery even if I don't use this feature?

  Is there a way to autmatically turn it on when the browser is open and turn it off when it closes?

  Thank you.

  I just turned off the GPS on my lap and was able to use the BlackBerry browser with no problems. You don't need GPS to use the BlackBerry browser.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB turn GPS is not very accurate

  Hello. I've had my turn for a few weeks and I've been playing with the GPS, but it is not very accurate. I have Google Maps and location I get is often off by a few miles. I have also some apps that try to stall on my position, but can never really block on. I enabled GPS on the phone, so this isn't the problem. Anyway to solve this problem or to calibrate the GPS to make the apps and google maps work and are more specific to locate my position?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  I thank very you much.

  It is a common misconception that your Google Maps is way off... when what you're doing isn't 'location' yourself via cell tower triangulation, GPS.

  Google Maps uses cell tower (even on devices without GPS enabled) default setting. You will see a large blue circle to indicate the cell tower range in that you are.

  When setting GPS on you, you will see a blue dot sold, to indicate your exact location, usually within 3-10 meters

  Then, in turn, follow these steps:

  First of all, go to Options > Advanced Options > GPS. Here, make sure that the GPS location Services on and help location = Enabled.

  On any Blackberry model, first make sure that you in a area of signal coverage is good AND outside with a clear view of the sky view in an open no skyscraper area.

  Your CDMA BlackBerry xx30 model, follow these steps:
  Go to the Options icon > status
  In the status screen on the keyboard type "test" (without the quotes!).
  You will see a Test screen device Self. Click on the Menu button and choose Start. You will find a list of tests. The substantive test should be GPS, check it and click Menu > run. Remember location GPS is turned on. Go outside without obstacles or the tall buildings around or above you. Click the trackball, then click start fixing. is should do a test. Let it do its thing and it should tell you that a location coordinates.

• Screen problem touchscreen blackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Storm2 9550

  Hello!

  I am a Sri Lanakan. Last week, I bought a Blackberry Storm2 9550 used, eBay (from a seller of e. u.). All the functions work fine except the touch screen. Can press on the touchscreen. (edges and around the screen) But he get caught suddenly, and also when am pressing an icon, phone highlights another icon. (as axample, when am pressing contacts in the home screen, phone highlights two contacts and sms). As I suppose, at this time there the phone detects it as multi touch and so I can't support what either. When am reset (battery pull) the phone, it solves the issue for a few minutes or hours, subsequently faced the same question.

  I tried to fix it by putting a piece of paper to the battery cavity, but nothing has changed.

  My storm is an unlocked phone (Comes to Verizon, but later unblocked), which is running version 5 software. ...... . 713 fact in Mexico 5.

  I want also to the last update available for my phone and how to update.

  You have other ideas on my problem touch screen? This is the main question, I want to solve as soon as possible. Do I need to fix it with a spacialist? Is it a hardware failure or a software? He solved by upgrading my version of software or restore to the factory settings.

  None of these remedies could work. Without practice, it is impossible for me to know anything 100%. The best advice I can give you is to upgrade your operating system to the latest version (. 1015). It could very well be that, as a device, it was damaged by the previous owner and it will never work for you. As I say, it is impossible to tell at this distance-internet.

  What is the meaning of the hard reset? It is equal to pull the battery?

  In my opinion, Yes, but there are others in the world who think differently. The best reference is the official:

  • KB02141 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone

  Most of us who have dealt with this for awhile understand that power should be turned on when you pull the battery.

  Once again, it's impossible to say at this internet distance.

  Hereby, I have attached an image. Please answer those as well.

  

  The first (top right) is the GPS indicator... I do not exactly remember what icon the way that... I suggest that get you the the user guide for your BB from here:

  • http://docs.BlackBerry.com/en/

  The other appears only if your carrier has eliminated an update wireless for you. You say that it is the "best way" for you... I would add that this is the MOST DANGEROUS way. You see, via this method update, on the device of data backup is taken, that is rendered after the update (the update effectively wipe everything). This backup is a file use 1... If something is wrong in the upgrade process, all your data is lost forever. The update method that I gave you is the best method that 1) it tells you first take a manual backup and 2) the process itself will also take another backup... and both of these backup files are stored on your PC and can later serve as a source of food since they are not 1-use files.

  Pls send me a link if you can, to download the latest update.

  You have already the link... it's in the instructions I have given to perform the update... This is the portal of official download for all carriers. Simply, you browse to the carrier of your choice and download their bundle of BONES for your model number.

  2. don't you know that this device was working before? Or the seller sells you a device that he had the same problem with?

  3. do you have a SIM card in the device, and installation of the unit, do you have your BBID and your country, etc.. ?

• BlackBerry smartphone Storm2 battery

  Hello. I've had my BB Storm2 for about 5 months now, and the battery has always been pretty bad, and full load, it only takes 6-7 hours standby... Is there a way to preserve the life of the battery? I turn GPS off, vibrate off the coast, I would turn off my wifi but I need it on. Slow apps are also turned off when not in use. Should I just replace the battery...?
