  • BlackBerry smartphone how to check the calls on BB Curve 8520?

    I see the icon that I have a lack call on my Blackberry Curve 8520, but I don't know how to check and see what I missed call them...

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you.

    Also, I have not tried the net outside of my house on my blackberry, again - it's going to work everywhere wherever I go?

    The internet should work everywhere where you get the signal (WiFi or GSM/GPRS/EDGE). For missed calls, according to settings you can click on the green button, or go to your message list. If you want to see ONLY your missed calls, go to the message, press the menu key, then display folder, then the missed calls.

    I can not install the app world, I really tried to find solutions before writing, but I can't find anything that helps...

    I tried first on the mobile; It has installed but says something about an unsupported version, so I uninstalled the app...

    then I tried with the desktop software, it gives me this message: BlackBerry Desktop Software could not validate your update to the BlackBerry device. Aborting installation because of the failure of the validation. Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies...

    If I'm going to try one the web, I get this message after choosing the stem;

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Your BB OS is outdated... you need to update... the current version is 5.0.0.1036. Here's what I recommend... Since you are on MAC, which makes it a bit more difficult that the sets of tools to deal with things are much more limited on MAC:

    (1) properly uninstall the RIM desktop software:

    • KB18771 Install and uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

    (2) obtain a new download of the RIM Desktop software:

    (3) install the software on your MAC Desktop

    • KB18771 Install and uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

    (4) now run the Desktop software, connect your BB when prompted and perform a clean reload of your BB OS, choose the most recent version that it offers (if all goes well, 5.0.0.1036):

    • KB19915 Perform a clean reload of software applications smartphone BlackBerry using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer
    • If you have no data on the BB that concern you, and then simply proceed with this update. If you have data on the BB, do not agree that the update and first perform a manual backup of your BB to your Mac. After the update, you may need to restore from this backup (update COULD take a backup itself and restore for you).

    (5) close the Desktop software and unplug your BB when it's all over.

    Now, you must do these steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

    (1) registry HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network

    (2) remove and return Service directories

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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! Good luck and let us know!

  • My bb bold blackBerry smartphones get more heated and stops loading

    I have a bb bold 9780 which is about 9 months old... recently I started having this problem with my battery to reach extreme temperatures of 45 c and then sign shows a card that supposed to happen when my battery is fully charged, but gets to 40% and does not load then... I have to put my personal number near the ac to cool up to 29 c to recharge it. even the battery life is very poor... She is barely 4 hours on a full charge... I have 2 batteries... I have a 9000 "BOLD" and I of the 9780 and the two we live the same problems...

    Thanxx in advance

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    It is possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem.

    What you describe, it is likely that your BB, which is the root of the problem... to test, I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    You may also use these tips:

    It is also possible that your BB has a problem at the level of the material which is the cause... and, of course, the internet remote diagnosis and operating system/software recommendations will be nothing if this is the case.

  • BlackBerry® Smartphones getting fake email

    Hello:

    I seem to be getting the wrong email. It seems an ENCORE in Bournemouth in England is send someone elses email to my PIN in the Canada. I sent emails to person to get his BIS to stop, but she did not. I don't think she even knows or cares. What to do. It makes me crazy with 50 emails a day.

    To clarify, e-mails are sent to any PIN code. Rather, BIS pulls e-mails from an e-mail server and pushes them to the Messages of BB app under this integrated email account via BIS BB (for example, the e-mail on the device Setup Wizard). So, if you have only your GMail integrated with this BB, it must have some sort of redirection rule of sending emails to your GMail (which would be strange, indeed, I think)... but not to your BB PIN, for real emails don't get shipped PIN, only on the e-mail address.

    Either it was not a new device but rather was used and was not properly cleaned of all configurations before being sold... and you're the unlucky recipient of a sloppy seller does not complete what they need to do:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    To be sure, check inside the e-mail Setup Wizard and see what you have there... If you only have your GMail account, then something really weird happens... and I recommend to contact the seller and make them apply to 'new' State they represented as height (note that is what matters... packaging can always be made to air well... only the issues of representation of sellers).

    You can try the steps from the buyer in the KB above... but from what you describe, I honestly have very deep concern now on the total utility of this unit for you... He would never properly and fully usable.

    Good luck!

  • Backup BlackBerry Smartphones get BB protect compared to the clouds

    Hello world

    I tried the manual backup yesterday by the site Web de Blackberry Protect. I successfully backed up the first time and made a few changes on my BB Curve 9300. Freed from some space by deleting messages and other data. I also want to return to the top of that State or to this specific point, I did the backup through the site Web of Protect. To my surprise (and I'm not aware) the new backup crushed my previous where in I need important messages I deleted expects that the backup will just create another set of backup rather than crush the other.

    My question is. Are there opportunities that I can restore this backup?

    After a few searches on Google and read messages. I knew that the backup is saved in the cloud that has lost the chances of recovering data backup with recovery tools that I can use.  I thought that if I can retrieve/recover deleted files and even formatted disks, technical staff of BB Protect or RIM could do the same and help me with my problem.

    Hope my message reached the Cloud for RIM or BB Protect administrator.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    First of all... this site is not a channel for any official communication with, support, or climbing to the RIM. This site is a community of users for volunteers who are trying their best to help each other, but we have no access to any system "back-end" to act on your request. If you really need official support from RIM, you must start with your support contract required string that starts with your mobile service provider, which can degenerate case RIM free of charge to the end user if such is always appropriate.

    There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the original question, since you are not through the contract, you signed at the time of purchase. If you want to study, you can check it out here:

    OK... with that of the road, see:

    • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

    According to who, it should actually be different dates you can use BB Protect backups. If they are not, however, appear for one reason or another, they are not available to you through any means automatic... and you would need official support (above) of a human being to the RIM to see if it can be recovered.

    All this said, I hope that you are not solely on BB Protect for your backup needs. BB Protect only back up (I think) 8 databases, which is a small subset of all the content of all of your valuable data. FYI, here's the process that I always recommend:

    Daily - configure BB Protect to save what he can, preferring to WiFi if the network of consumer data carrier is a matter of concern.

    Weekly:

    If you're not up to BBM7, then manually save your BBM contacts to the memory of your device or Media Card

    There is an old saying:

    As insurance, the backups are reactive or an optional activity. And this process, in my humble OPINION, provides the best protection of all the valuable data that is kept on their BB. When you compare BB Protect backup actually compared this process to protect, I think you will find that the difference is very large. In addition, this process would give you 100% control to keep the previous backups.

    Good luck!

Please press on and press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will appear a screen that will display all the programs running in the background, usually five will always look here (home, BBM, Message, phone, browser), appropriate to other applications. are running.

    Always try to properly close the Applications - avoid using the end key to close the applications because it just minimizes the application and let it run in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select close or Exit to exit the application. Don't let your browser open when not in use. If programs are running in the background, it will also allow overheating and also to quick battery drainage.

  • BlackBerry 8530 BlackBerry Smartphones gets hot when it comes to this topic.

    I recently got a BlackBerry Curve 8530. After having to speak on this subject 15 minutes on the phone started having hot, wifi is discontinued and theres no dowloads on it what so ever. This could be a problem serious or - is this normal for this type of phone? My old Curve 8330 never got that way. Please answer this question then I can decide to send the phone in for a replacement.

    Hello

    Here are a few tests that you can run to determine things...

    I recommend that you try to start in Safe Mode, which will remove the automatic enforcement of all 3rd party applications function and the module:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem. Carefully note please that 'new' and 'know' are not necessarily the same things. Although rare, a 'new' battery could certainly be defective. On the contrary, the easiest (and cheapest, btw) method to perform this test is to find someone with an identical BB which has no problem... trade in batteries and see what happens. You can also run these tests in normal mode and safe.

    Good luck and let us know!
