• BlackBerry smartphones my questions on the Storm 2 9520

  Hello everyone I do not have a Blackberry but I intend to update my phone soon and get a (I currently have a Nokia N95 8 GB). I looked through the list of Blackberry models, and the 9520 that I fell in love was the Storm 2 9520. I will probably get one, but I have several questions that I couldn't find clear answers on google. I'm picky about details on a phone, so I want to know everything before get you it. Here is the list of things that I had on my mind:

  -J' read that this phone records videos in 3gp format and not mp4. I'm a little worried about that, because I feel 3gp is less intense than mp4 by Windows (Win 7 user here). For example, 3gp, I filmed with an old phone years ago don't even open correctly in most players and no audio. So, is the format the phone records in playable correctly in Windows (Linux too)?

  -J' I always rename my pictures and my videos after taking. With the 9520, you can click a button or menu entry to rename an image / clip immediately after making it? Or they be saved with a name only automated, and you need to open your file browser and navigate to the file to be renamed?

  -A curiosity, I got on the touch screen if it is based only on the detection of heat or by pressing physics too. What I've seen, the heat detection is used when you lightly touch the screen and select the stuff / drag, while only pressing is used actually click. I'm curious because I could use my phone outside in the winter when I have leather gloves, and the screen can not detect my body energy then. Of course, it is difficult to use any phone with gloves, but I sometimes do to some extent

  -Use the charger micro-usb port, or another port? I know that some devices that use USB for charging and connection to the computer, which is a method that I prefer in general. No problem if it is not, just curious.

  -In the specs of the phone, it says maximum 8 GB micro-SD cards are supported. Someone can confirm that more cards are inconsistent and do not work (16 / 32 GB ones)?

  -J' read on a website that the only way to configure e-mail is to have a Blackberry Enterprise Server (do not exactly know what what). But you need to register with Blackberry using a classic IMAP / POP email account (like gmail or yahoo mail)? And besides, you need to register with any Blackberry service to use 3 G internet supplier or to use messenger (YIM MSN and AIM)? I'm guessing not, but always ask to be sure.

  -J' heard some phones have this limit / problem, so just to be safe: can put you MP3 transferred from your computer as ringtones? Or do you need to download them online from special services, as I heard some phones force you to?

  -J' read on several websites that there are complications with the installation of applications via the data cable. That's how I install most of my programs of others on phones. So if I have a jar or jad file on my desktop, is there no possible to install it via data cable unless I have an additional file with it? Same question for no java Blackberry applications.

  -All Web sites mention that the OS 5 web browser does not support flash on web pages (which I find quite sad). However, I can still play the files flash directly from my phone so I just open the swf file?

  -Can you play audio files in ogg / wav format? In addition, it can play video ogv, avi or mpeg?

  -Can I download themes for it that change the icons and colors of the menus? I guess the definition of custom screen (independent of the subject) shouldn't be a problem. Also, is there a free software that allows you to create your own themes and exporting it to the phone via data cable?

  -Are there also a front-facing camera for 3G video chat?

  -J' read on the differences between the 9520 and 9550 and that the 9550 has a frequency of additional network, sure it can work. Everyone says that you can not use a Blackberry in America if you buy it in Europe, in particular the 9520. Is this true? And the more vital than the 9520 9550 compatibility?

  -OS 6 will come to the 9520 too? Some sites say it won't, while than others whether in devices that it will support an update. Hope very much it will be

  -Finally, this could be a sensitive issue and I don't know how poorly seen on it is here. But it's easy to unlock / debrand the 9520? I would like to get the latest versions of firmware and do not have the limited phone.

  Someone mentioned the provider to branding is not done for commercial reasons, but in order to keep the compatible phone (and shouldn't even be illegal to debrand). So I think it should be ok.

  Yes, they are a lot of questions that may seem ridiculous. I got this phone for several years, so I want to know all about it. Thanks to all those who can help you meet them, and keep up the good work with phones

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Wow! You do your job, I admire that! I'll answer what I can...

  3GP is the native video recording format. All you need is the codec on your PC to read. I downloaded a free transcoder and it not only transcode avi (and other formats) for me, but also to put the codec appropriate in what I can play natively without transcoding. QuickTime, I think a codec were also held. There are plenty of audio and the recorded video.

  Hmmm... haven't really tried to do... worst case, of course you can rename them later.

  In fact, storm BBs use two detection of heat as well as the physical press. It's called SurePress technology. Heat detection determines where on the screen you touch and then physical pressure activates the 'click' somehow. The entire screen is great physical button, whose activity is determined by your finger on the screen position when you press. As such, I doubt it'll work with gloves on at all. I know, on the ski slopes, I remove my glove to do something with my 9550.

  On the BB, a port for all functions. Micro USB for charging and attached USB data transfer. When connected to a PC with the drivers installed, the BB will be time load (from the USB port of the PC) as well as allow the transfer of data.

  Technically, the BB model is unrelated to the size of the SD card, it supports. It is rather a function of the OS level that the BB is running according to the instructions this KB:

  Yes, you can download themes (I have to admit no experience with this...) I found no need to use themes that I need my BB to feature what I need... themes he dressed simply in my humble OPINION). I have no idea on how to create themes.

  This issue is not that I consider as responsible. Everyone has their particular circumstances they need to meet. The features of the search machine and the frequency ranges of carriers that you want to run. Then choose the device that fits your specific needs.

  Without no doubt... but this isn't an authoritative answer. And you will not be able to receive replies by authorities here. Basically, upgraded the specs for OS 6.0 here:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/announcements/announcing-BlackBerry-device-software-6-0/TD-p/...

  With the series Storm conspicuous by their absence, I consider any current to be candidates for the OS6.0 storms. But it is indeed in my humble OPINION.

  But I'm not sure of your premises. You seem to be saying that you are locked in your level of update of carriers, as long as your BB is blocked. This is false. Unlocking is simply the function to allow your BB run on a network of different carriers... at the level of the BONE is irrelevant to that. You are free to use the carriers released OS for your specific model BB... There is just a tiny thing that you need to follow. But unlocking is not necessary to do so. There's nothing illegal or anything about unlocking. But it is useless unless and until you want to reverse your BB to another carrier.

  You have basically 2 things to update a blackberry

  1 desktop software blackberry (which is like your itunes)

  2 the software update to the blackberry device.

  First install the blackberry desktop software, then upgrade device. After installing upgrade of device setup, it prompts you to run the desktop software. Say 'yes '. Also, connect your device via the USB cable to the computer. Now

  in the Software Desktop Manager choose upgrade software and you should be done in 30 minutes about.

• BlackBerry smartphones always wireless to Verizon Storm 9530 t?

  I do not understand the delay. I see that the upgreade wireless is available for Verizon, but I still don't get the response "No updates available" to my 9530 t.

  The page for the 9500 says Verizon's upgrade. But not the 9530 t?

  Official BlackBerry Storm Software Upgrade available for Verizon Wireless customers

  All the methods listed show no software is available and I have the latest version of the OS.

  Did I miss something?

  DM.

  Hello!

  I think that this may be an older update of the. 65 (?) to the BONE actuel.75. If you scroll down on the original message, you will see that it is from 12/08. I do not think that there is no new update still Verizon, so if you are being execution.75 is why you receive a message "no updates available".

  HTH some. I don't think that there is still no info on when another update will be available for Verizon!

• Problem blackBerry Smartphones with software update on Storm 9500

  Hello

  I m new here and I have a problem with my Storm.

  I wan´t to install software was last updated and my phone computer says that there is not enough free space on my storage. But I Don t have data or applications on my phone and it says that there are 867 MB of free space!

  Please help me, I Don t know what to do...

  Thank you

  I'm not an expert on the use of the MAC version of office, but the messages that you receive, there must be something more to clear. You could try a WIPE on the BB to really clear everything... then try the update again. Unless, of course, WIPE is what you mean when you said "Format".

  You might also find some advice on the use of desktop MAC software in this forum:

• LOADING blackBerry Smartphone WHITE SCREEN! MY STORM 3RD IN 3 MONTHS!

  My BB storm keeps getting a white screen and freezes then won't turn on. Loading clock appears then disappears and will start. Verizon replaced my phone when I take it but I lose all my info I have not to store on my Mac. This is getting fustrating. I got my phone in April and directs me to the store to exchange it for the fourth time. Often happens when I wake up, and then I realize that my phone does not work. Anyone know what is happening?

  could be the charger, map or the shot you reload, causing the surge.

  get another charger, try another taken and copy images off the card, reformat and copy photos in return. do not copy files or all the contents of records there is a hidden file in each folder that you want to avoid to get back

• Attachments to the e-mails of blackBerry Smartphones can not open the Storm

  My office has MS Exchange and emails are using Outlook. I receive e-mail messages on my phone that are sent through the Blackberry Desktop Redirector program.  Emails cross, however, I can't open attachments in e-mail on my phone.  He's saying "this type of attachment cannot be seen on your device."  The attachment is a Word document created on a Word 2003 program.  PDF and Excel files will not open either.  Word to go and sheet to go appear in the applications folder and appear to be installed.  I can't get email attachments to open.  Is this a result of the Blackberry Desktop Redirector program?  My office uses a system of e-mail MS Exchange (Outlook).  If the redirector is the problem is it another way to get emails from Outlook and open the attachments?  I love this phone, but I need to be able to view the documents that are attached to emails.  Any help would be appreciated.

  redirector does not support attachments

  redirector is an old dinosaur of a program with so many limitations

  DTM to uninstall, reinstall using the option of personal e-mail to remove the redirector

  on your BB go to advanced options options-service books and remove books 2 service called DESKTOP

  then you integrate your email through OWA/BIS

• BlackBerry Smartphones 2nd REQUEST! -9530 storm - sync issue w/emails

  Hi all

  When I use on my Blackberry Destop Manager synchronization.  I noticed that the 'sync email' button is grayed.  It does allow me to choose this option.  There are other options like addressbook, Contacts, etc.  Is there something I'm missing?  I would like to be able to sync my bb with my emails - so that everything what I'm typing on my bb is in my e-mail accounts, and each time I type something on my email accounts, it appears on my bb as well.  Had a situation where I needed to access a mail I sent my email accounts on my computer and that he was not able to access it through my bb - had to wait until I got home to make it... What a waste.  The reconcile 'now' doesn't seem to work on my bb.  Can someone please?  Thnx a lot for your help.

  Iwrite05

  A quick search of the site would be turned to the top of your answer, replied here several times.

  You use a personal account from BIS. BIS do not reconcile mail and messages, accounts, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks. The button is grayed out because balance messages isn't an option on your account. Basically, the command to reconcile now does nothing, so, on your account.

  For reconciliation to complete e-mail, you will need a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Service) account.

  On google, the choice #2 for the question "what is the difference between BIS and BES.
