• BlackBerry Smartphones please help, 9700 won't turn on

  As I was talking on my relatively new Bold 9700, she is just completely dead! The battery is charged but the screen and everything happened to be just black. It will not turn on. I removed the battery and put it back in and the only response that she led red coming for a few minutes then detach.

  Any suggestions please?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  See this KB to see if any of the symptoms match yours:

  • KB18223 Behavior of the charge BlackBerry smartphone

  If the battery discharged spontaneously, that would actually cause for alarm. If your symptoms match something, then likely recommendation is to reload for a while (at least 2 hours, IMO) and then see if your BB is back to normal. If the behavior persists, consult a warranty evaluation.

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS, the 8300 and ATT

  I got my 8300 about a year previously and has waited until now to install the Garmin Mobile for Blackberry.

  Cingular says it had GPS 'ability' and I thought that it meant "integrated."  I paid $100 for the Garmin

  Download and got the version for phones WITH GPS.  Naturally he has no satellite.

  It is then that I discovered that I have the 8300 and not the 8310.  In addition, I had no Blackberry Maps

  featured and was ready to download/install, when I noticed the statement that IT DOES NOT

  ON ATT.  So, now I'm here with a bad brain trying to figure out how to get out of this trouble before

  I fed the rest of my money to Garmin or ATT or the PERSON, to get a less-than-perfect GPS Setup.

  I could get the Bluetooth GPS receiver, someone else purchased for about $60. Garmin Mobile software

  is an OF WHAT GPS with integrated phone and I noticed somewhere that it does not work for phones receive signals

  a Bluetooth receiver.  To stay with Garmin, I have to buy their package for about $150, which includes a

  receiver and the software to go with it.  Using THIS plan, buy one once, there seems to be no. $ 9.99/month

  subscription to process. (I'm wrong, or am I missing something here?)

  I could get the receiver for $60 as shown above and subscribe to Telenav GPS stuff that came with

  My att phone. I downloaded the new maps of them today, but I am not at all impressed with their quality.

  I also think that it is outrageous to pay the subscription of $9.99 / month to something I have trouble reading.

  Then... I guess I wonder if I should cut my losses here and go get the Garmin Nuvi that someone else

  has said was excellent for car navigation?  I like really use my 8300 for everything and have GPS it would sweep.  But I don't know if I combine a GPS system on the phone that he would give me the configuration of navigation that I would.

  There you have it. Opinions and advice are appreciated. BJ

  "One thing that made me hesitate to go to the BlueTooth receiver was the suspicion that he has not used the satellites, but uses rather server signals, or receiving cell tower." "I ordered the receiver Globalsat BT BlueTooth - 359C last weekend; I'll let you know how it works. »

  .

  .

  It works very well... and really uses satellites.  With Blackberry Maps, the dashboard for the navigation shows the speed you're going on the left, the right direction and a satellite icon in the middle with a number, which I guess is the strength of the signal.  The unit works as well for the location with Google maps, too.  Note: the key to the Bluetooth passcode is 0000.

  For more information, see: "http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-214-bt-359c.aspx."

  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.

  Hello!

  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, try to activate the BT... If so, then 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.

  If BT does not work, then you can have some serious corruption of OS level, for which a clean reload of the OS could be the cure.

  At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for many models. If they understand your model, please use those as a reference as you go along. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the download portal official for packages of OS for your model:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...

  Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
  • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

  Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

  You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

  You can also try this procedure might limit the specific causal element:

  1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
  2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
  3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
  4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
  5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

  When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

  If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

  If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

  If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS and the small speaker

  OK people, I know that out there, someone has a solution for this.  It seems so simple, but so far I didn't get a response.  Here's the situation.  It is difficult to hear GPS directions by the Blackberry Curve speaker.  I would like to send the directions to my bluetooth device or if it is completely impossible, voice instructions for my headphone plug.  I tried the two and no work - the sound contiues to get out of the enclosure.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  I found the solution.  When I tried to make the GPS directions stronger, I pushed the speaker button.  Much to my surprise, he looked for the bluetooth device.  When I turned on my helmet, GPS voice instructions went directly to the headset.  It works very well.  The only problem is a slight delay.

  Problem solved. Now if someone could just find a way to get the sound of the Sprint TV to the bluetooth headset...

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS never find any satellite

  Hi all

  My first blackberry and my first post - blackberrys ROCK!

  Lovin my 8110, only a niggle - one of the main things I wanted this phone to was the GPS, but suspect I may have a defective hardware that the GPS never found a single satellite, looking for just indefinitely.

  Google maps for example, I select 'My position', and he thinks I'm a half mile away saying "-your location at 1200 meters.» "Waiting for GPS". The GPS never answers, I guess it gets less than 1200 meters by triangulation my position over the telephone network (vodafone).

  BlackBerry Maps - "Searching for satellies...» "Again, never to find!

  Options-> AdvancedOptions-> GPS:
  GPS data source: GPS device
  GPS services: location
  GPS location:
  Latitude: N 0 * 0.00'
  Longitude: W 0 * 0.00'
  Difficulty of time: no
  Number of Satellites: 0
  Precision: 0.0 m
  Location service: enabled

  My suspicions are correct, if my phone was delivered broken?

  Thanks in advance
  Tom

  Try refresshing to the Gps, go to menu, options, advanced options, gps, press menu again and refresh GPS

  Don't forget, you have to stand outside to receive the satellite signal

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS does not work

  I have a 8330 and the GPS does not work.  I have Blackberry Maps and Google Maps, each says are looking for satellite units trying to find where I am.  Alltel tech support said I have to pay $9.99 per month for telenav, but I hope that this is not correct because I was told THAT GPS was on the phone when I bought it 3 weeks ago.

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS on any area network?

  Hi, I m new with BB but I want to know something, can I use the GPS function or the WiFi features on a place that has no cell phone network signal /... for example, if a trip to another country with no active roaming?

  Thanks in advance.

  GPS on blackberry requires NO wifi or data.  BlackBerry maps, google maps and most current main GPS apps for blackberry require data or wifi, but it's a limitartion of these software applications, not blackberry devices.  There are other FREE applications that DO NOT require any data plan.  Nor do even need wifi connectivity.

  Google search for 'Mobile GMAPS' download the free app on your Blackberry.  It can be used completely with just your phone internal GPS and mapping files that have been downloaded to your SD card.  Or, if you want, you can use the wifi instead of data, but there is absolutely no need for any connection other than via the internal GPS device once you have maps on your SD card.  Mobile GMaps is not nearly as feature packed as GPS applications more mainstream for blackberry that currently require data plans, but hey, it's a free app and you will save data charges.

  Once you have installed Mobile GMAPS on your phone, you will need to use your PC and go to www (dot) mapcacher (dot) com and create a mapping file using google, yahoo or live maps.  Just select the area of the map you want, select zoom levels 1-16, choose the amount of detail and then click on the button to begin to build your mapping file.  The file will be created in a few seconds.

  You must then import this map file into an application like v0.7.2.2 gmapmaker mgmaps (dot) com/www cache (point) and install it on your pc as well. Import the mapping file into this tool and your map will be created.  There are a few different tools that can do the same thing - you can learn more about the different ones on Mobile GMAPS forums or better yet the site Crackberry - this is where I originally found the tutorial for this process.

  Get the built cards is not difficult, but it may take some time depending on your broadband ISP, the size of a map that you create and the amount of detail that you put on it (zoom levels add more information and you can choose anywhere between 1-17).  Then there is also the matter of getting the map to your sd card file once it is built because there will be a lot of small image files and folders Windows PC may not like if the structure of the file is too big.

  I recommend trying a few small test cards (like just your city) so you see how it works, try the different zoom levels and details.  After a few tries, you'll know how to create the perfect cards and the best files of sizes to easily copy maps on your SD card.

  It is not the best tool, but it is available and it is free and can be used anywhere and anytime - as long as your GPS can find the satellites.  I imagine that there will be much progress in other programs that do the same thing, because the free service is the way to go!  I hope that the major GPS manufacturers take note and join the herd by creating SD maps for blackberry devices too (windows mobile and symbian phones have this option) or they'll be next to lose a lot of money.  Why would anyone want to use their data plan to use the GPS when it should work on its own?

  The answer THEY will tell you is because it allows you to get the latest maps all the time, it's a limitation of phone blackberry that data is required.  This is total Bull * if.  The cards are always changing, but not enough to justify the cost of data each month.  Their is a lot of software SD card capable apps out there (TomTom, Garmin, Navigon, etc.), but they only work on Windows Mobile and Symbian, and because Blackberry push data, the SD versions have not been built yet.  At least with this tool, you know it is possible and can stop believing the hype of data plan.  In addition, if you want new cards, you can go out and download a new one whenever you want and copy it in your SD car.

  Enjoy your free, anytime, anywhere, GPS and pass on the good news to other friends of blackberry.

• BlackBerry smartphones go from 9700 to 9900

  Hello

  Next week I'll receive my Bold 9900, and I will transfer my documents from my old Bold 9700 to 9900.

  Question: Can I do it just with back-up?

  Also, I will be giving my old 9700 "bold" to a friend, but I want to delete all my info, files, email accounts, and anything else. How can I do this?

  Thank you

  Yes the new desktop software allows you to synchronize your old phone with your new device and copy items in all. It backs up yiour current device and then transfer the details on your new phone

  There is also an option on your current blackberry to reset to the factory settings. He will wipe away all of your details, but be careful, once it is not the way back
