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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones using the 8300 BB as a PDA with Verizon

    I was considering buying a BB 8330 with the express purpose to have the PDA features.  I don't want to connect to the e-mail or use the internet features.  I don't want to connect to my computer via the USB port and the calendar, phone book and contacts in my Outlook file and all of the notes that I add as I do now with an older Palm Pilot PDA.  Verizon is telling me that I need an additional data package in order to transfer data between the computer and the BB.  Is this correct?  Can I use the BB as an independent PDA service Verizon 8330?

    In addition, my Palm has the ability to transfer a Wrod or computer Excell file and edit it and post it on the PDA.  The 8330 will do that?

    Is a software that comes with the Smartphone needed and available to allow these functions?

    Again, all I want from Verizon is the telephony service.  All this I want to do it through USB and the computer.

    Your answer will determine if I buy the BBs as Christmas gifts for my wife and myself or stick with my old phone and get a new PDA to stand alone.  Thank you for your help in making this decision.

    Harold

    But not what I wanted to hear, he confirmed my question.  The real loss here is BlackBerry with a customer lost through Verizon.  I can not afford any additional service and will not pay use features that should not even involve the telephone operator.

    Thank you all for your answers.

    Lost my username amd password to log in to the desktop software. How do I get there? Why can't blackberry just told me? !!! I have not found any access to "changing the password".

    When you say desktop what are you referring? The Blackberry Desktop Software doesn't have a name and password to use. If you connect a Blackberry that has a password and Desktop software will ask for this password if you connect the device.

    I got my new Blackberry Curve 8330 3 weeks red and I installed the BB Desktop Manager that comes with the CD called Blackberry user tools.   Now when I click on "updates" on the lower part of the Desktop Manager, a popup window with all sorts of information that I don't know where to go first.  My version of the op is a 4.3.0 xxx what is desktop software for? Is this software integrated with the Desktop Manager, or is it a separate thing?

    Hope to hear from you beautiful peeople soon to explain this for me!

    Not necessarily. I'm a tech person, so I'd rather have the latest greatest version of ang of the software I use. So if you are happy with 4.3 and it is not crashing or causing errors so feel free to continue using it.

    You can always try 4.7 and if you don't like it uninstall and reinstall 4.3

  • Toggle to screen of blackBerry Smartphones between the clock and the home screen

    Hello

    When I connect my "BOLD" to my computer via USB, the computer detects quickly and then disconnects (BB screen switches between charge/clock display and the bb homescreen) and this repeats until I have unplug it.  In addition, he was never able to connect via bluetooth, even if I have another phone and mouse that are bluetooth, who have never had a problem - the one with a similar prob?

    Hey Jmrmb80, you will never believe this - cord USB I used was the question!  I looked at the gauge/side printed on the stock power cord and it matched that of the cord I was using, so I thought that there should not be a difference (even thought the stock of bb usb wire is thicker) but when I went to the line stock everything was fine.  No more probs

  • BlackBerry smartphone app error 603 and BBDS does not recognize my device

    Here's the situation: the battery ran out on my unit earlier this week. When I started to charge, the unit will start automatically restart. Before restarting, the messages "error app 603' and 'reset' appeared. If I click "reset", the whole process starts again.

    The previous messages in the forum I read about 'error app 603' suggested I should restore the device settings or reinstall the operating system. I tried to connect my device to my laptop via USB cable, however the computer will only recognize the connected device with a chime at the beginning of the discount to zero, followed quickly by a chime of disconnection being rebooted. The computer or software Deskstop BlackBerry recognizes the device while it is stuck on the '603 error message' app.

    What else can I try?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Here's a knockout who deals with this error:

    For the charging of the OS, you can better use this method... on a PC (you can't do this on MAC):

    (1) make sure you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find complete instructions via the link in my sig auto below. Sorry, already a moot point counts with the error.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. 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

    (6) work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of step 6, your BB presents "507" error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

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

    You may also use these tips:

    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:

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    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.

    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.

  • 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...

  • My phone blackBerry smartphones is extremely slow and eat the battery

    I have faced this problem for 3 days and went to my service provider today to inquire.

    My phone has been extremely slow, the time clock thing is for still running, and so my phone dies in 3 to 4 hours with no real use. I was told that it was because I need to update my OS but when I got home and plugged in it says that my phone is up to date and there is no upgrade available OS. I bought a spare battery to see if it was the problem and it is not. This is getting very frustrating. He even got to the point of when I lock the phone I can't unlock it during the same get the screen to turn on. the only way to start is to pull the battery out and put back.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones has the question about GPS

    I have a BB 8800 device. It is connected to a mobile phone service provider that does not support BES or BIS. In other words, I use this device as a mobile phone.

    When I open Options-> Advanced Options-GPS and run the menu: "Refresh" GPS "didn't get no information from GPS (inside and outside).

    There are zeros in Latitude and Longitude.

    My question is: the GPS on BB8800 depends on mobile provider and my data plan?

    I understand that to display the cards that I have at least GPRS-internet service enabled to access and download blackberry maps.

    But I don't get any results when I simply run the GPS Options and launch refresh GPS info.

    Could you please explain. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

    Thank you.

    I don't know if the GPS works at all the or not depends on whether the carrier allows him. But even if they do, it can be quite risky. I have Verizon in the United States and subscribe to the GPS service. I think it's pretty good - when it works. The biggest problem is that every four or five days about it does connect to GPS in the service of Verizon GPS signals, nothing else that the error messages "can not connect", and I do the reset drill "remove the battery and let it sit for a very long time" in order to resume service. Oddly, it's going to walk very well on Google Maps in this condition, but not on the traditional GPS. Would like to know the cause, since it seems that I am still an urgent need for GPS when he chooses to do not. Four or five days everything works well, then I'm in a strange city and the need to go from the airport to the hotel - and it won't work, so I find myself in some of Mall parking lot looking at my phone and the battery if displayed on the seat next to me, waiting for some kind of magic back to happen. The good news is that the reset still seem to work. The bad news is that I thought there is no alternative to lose 20 minutes to get a good discount to zero. I'm probably two resets far from cancelling the GPS service, it's just unpredictable as to when it's going to fail. Google Maps is not really very accurate in showing you where you are, but it has its uses. We are house hunting and I find that using Google Maps, while we are looking at a beautiful House we prevented them from making a few mistakes - found some really nasty industrial plants just across a line of trees, for example. I also use it to find restaurants that are pretty close to my hotel (so the total precision is not serious) of the Decree.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones using the GPS

  • Problem blackBerry Smartphones: keeps the switch between the headset and speaker

    Hey guys, I'm new here so I will try to provide everything I can. I have a Bold 9700 with ATT and the OS is v5.0.0.405. Well a couple of weeks my blackberry has started to develop an annoying problem. When in a call, most of the time (not all) he starts switching between icon of headset and normal speaker. When this happens, you can hear the phone switch between the two through the speaker, and it makes it so I can't hear someone and they don't hear me. I'm out of my warranty of 30 days of ATT, but I think im still well within the warranty of the RIM. I admittidly dropped, but this should not happen. Nothing like this has happened to any other phone I've owned. Is this what can I do to get some sort of replacement?

    Thank you!
