BlackBerry Smartphones emergency call button

I heard RIM say that having the emergency call on a locked screen is a "legal obligation".

Can someone quote me this requirement legal excat in the Canada?

I found some decisions.  However, I think that they don't block rim to make improvements in their interface to reduce the likelihood of accidental 9-1-1 calls.

The current interface allows the call 9-1-1 with two or three clicks that is easy to do in a Pocket (ask any 9-1-1 officer).   RIM should consider changing the interface such that after clicking on "Make an emergency call" the user must always dial the '9' - '1' - '1' in the order.  This does not delay the user any more than ordinary 9-1-1 call from a phone that is locked or asleep.  This should however prevent a significant number of accidental 9-1-1-calls

  • How to remove blackBerry smartphones missed calls list?

    Greetings!  I have the opportunity to keep only the last 30 days of messages (text, Blackberry messengers, MMS, etc.) together and it seems to work fine.  But it is not getting rid of MISSED CALL entries in my list that date back to the day (6 months ago), I bought the camera (curve).  Y at - it another option to clear the list of missed calls?  Just annoys me!  Sooner or later, memory fill.

    Welcome to the AndrewUser forums

    Missed calls can be removed from your list of messages, if you want to. From the home screen, press the green call button, press the menu/blackberry button and click 'options '. Go to "Call logging" and set it to 'none '. That will remove the missed calls from the message list, but not your call logs.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones video calls between BlackBerry or Voip calls must read more than a year a RIM does nothing about it...! Must be in bb10 correct your mistakes

    Well, I'm not a programmer, but those who are not the their: Please answer this... ?

    Why isn't their an app that can allow us to make calls voip blackberry for blackberry ok forget voip called something like Skype or facetime where to users of phones like blackberry 9900 or the 9860 can call the other times video I had the blackberry from book reading its pretty useless I never use it no cause of offence I can t Skype video calls my friends family need to have a playbook to call me ridculous if you look @ the samsung or the iphone, they all Skype for if other users don't have the same mobile phone they can even video call each other pc to phone or ipad to pc... etc.

    I posted this on your facebook wall and hope that nothing is done about it

    Blackberry question, why don't have an application like Viber or Skype where users who have blackberry as 9900 or the 9860 in which the two phones have front camera could Skype call or an application like viber in the blackberry users can call on voip... it is a reall fall in expected an app for blackberry for almost a year rang also edge to do something about IT... most users go for iphone so because of these two applications that maintains the connected in time video reall... enjoy some answer on this...

    looking forward to the bb 10 having these sucks simple features of daily use not having them so fustrating I think to spend 529 book just cause the 9900 t can support Skype and the playbook is not just the feel

    It is perhaps a question better directed to Skype and not HERE in the forums.  Skype has an application for BlackBerry, but it is only available to U.S. subscribers using Verizon.  (This information can be updated to date, it's updated information I have.)  Given that these forums are composed (not the right choice of words) of volunteers who love BlackBerry phones and not by RIM developers, your chances of getting the answer you are looking for may be thin.

    I hope that helps you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones end call (red button) broken - need alternative

    I actually gave up trying to fix it.

    In fact, I'm looking the other way end a call. Is there any application that allows callers to terminate a call of the touchscreen? I looked and I've not found anything (obviously).

    Please notify.

    H.

    Great idea on the button on the headset. The only other way that I can think of is to change the settings on the phone and activate the device end the call when it is placed in the case.

  • Find blackBerry Smartphones and calling Contacts is ridiculous - not to try while you are driving.

    I have 2800 contacts in my new storm.  To call it by its name, I should be able to go to my phone, dial pad and start typing the name of family - say 72782 for PASTA and one by one the phone to refine my choices until I can see and that you can click on the right one.  But no, the storm requires a user go to Contacts and then click on a line of tiny human finger cannot possible just touch the first time and then start letters in horizontal mode, because God forbid, you should try the method of double letters vertically.  Forget it!  In many other aspects, it is a good phone and the brightness of the screen and the size is wonderful for internet and electronic mail.  But without an easy way to access my contacts, this phone will come back tomorrow.  BlackBerry, wake up!

    A dial contacts hands is easy.  Theres a shortcut.

    If you press the Send button storm Green will go to dial (as the installer of the factory) pad.

    If you press and hold the Green send button, storm will got to the contact page.  Then take your finger and the sweep of the screen from the bottom to the top and the keyboard will go up.  Then just type the name you want and contact will go up.

    Actually using this technique is very nice and can be done with strikes a minimum!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones missed calls are missing!

    I am very new to the BlackBerry platform and just start getting used to my new Pearl 8130.  When I miss a call, it says that I have a missed call, but for the life of me, I can't find a way to see who has call I missed. In the call log, it shows a box where I can enter numbers to call, and from there I can also access the calls I placed. I'm sure that there is an incredibly easy solution to my dilemma I'm simply dominating, but can someone help me here?

    to start, go to your phone app: phone app-> blackberry button (left side of the trackball)-> call logging-> make sure you all calls is selected.  see if this fixes your problem, if not, made me know and we'll see if my technical team can come up with solutions.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Re: Locking button buttons f touches

    Hello

    I just bought and used the torch 9800 for a week. Great phone, the new operating system but one thing that frustrates me really love and it happened with the bold 9700, but now it's even more frustrating.

    After putting the phone in my Pocket everything locked by pressing the left top button, bringing the back phone shows all the random jibberish that I could press as it has been unlocked.

    the lock button is even worse than the 9700 much too sensitive.

    Okay, fine, so I'll use the passcode lock feature. However, I am still more wary and scared in this mode, because there is an emergency button and I wouldn't see firemen or police send me business.

    Are there ways around that? use the lock button to lock, but when unlocking, you woulnd't need a coup or something not too picky to unlock the phone.

    I don't want to make random calls or messages or calling the police when he is not totally expected. I love my pocket and I want my torch to stay there safely.

    Please write to me or answer a fix for this frustrating problem only I have with the torch.

    There are a number of free and paid options. For occasions when I want my flashlight, I use BerrySlider (charges apply). It unlocks with a kick. It is not, however, enabled by the lock button. I've set up as a double click on the button mute (via another really cool app (addition. This combo makes the case for me.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones increase Volume button change MP3 music

    When I try to increase the volume of the music by pressing the volume button it changes my selection of songs. When I insert the torch of BB in my door-belt and then try to increase the volume of the music it actually works. I tried to call customer service at AT & T and said that I must take my phone to the nearest AT & T store and have the BB software upgraded. Y at - it a fix for this problem? I am becoming frustrated with my purchase at the most recent, 'better' than RIM blackberry has already sold. My opinion is that the unit is below everyone's expectations and the lack of technical support let me feel that RIM did not feel that they must be held accountable for taking the people's money for a product that does not work as they have announced. The product I bought does not have to do all the things that I thought it would when I bought it.

    Check the key to Rate.If you set on fast or quick way is going to happen with the volume keys.

    Set to normal and the volume keys will not function properly.
    I had the same problem and it drove me crazy.

    Options > type entry > keyboard > rate

  • BlackBerry smartphone video Call App

    A parent showed me how Tango works on his phone.  I want this app, but it is not available for the torch.  Does anyone know of another application?  I like the Tango!

    Any phone that supports video calls would have a front and a rear facing camera.  Currently, no BlackBerry phone does include such a feature, so I guess that none will support video calling.

    I hope that helps you.
