BlackBerry Smartphones how lock the phone?

I can't find a way to block my phone. What I want is so that it can be locked once I turned off and need to type a password to review its content. Essentially a measure of security. I tried all the tricks of password but can not understand and is not really doing what I want it to. Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the forums. I'm not sure that I fully understand what you are looking for in what concerns your BB to lock. If you tried to set a password, and it was not what you liked? You can quickly lock your device in now the * key. If you have a password enabled, you can type on it to unlock everything. If you have a case with a magnet nearby, you can set your device to lock onto Holster. A password is needed to unlock after waking from sleep. Your device is paused when the case or when you press mute. I hope that helped. I would like to know if I was far away or if you have any other questions.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones cannot lock the phone through blackberry ID

    Hello

    I take a phone of my coleague who has left the company. For some reason, I can't able to connect on the phone. Firstly I didn't at first, the password of my coleague ex, I went online and changed the password. However, when I want to connect with my new password to unlock the phone, I have this message:

    "You have exceeded the number of attempts to connect.

    For security reasons, you have been locked for 15 minutes. "Click on forgotten password if you need create a new password.

    But after 15 minutes and try again, the message... helpppp

    You try the BlackBerryID, or the security password, on the device?

    It looks like the BlackBerryID if you are locked out for 15 minutes.

    A wrong entered security password would give you only a message something like «wrong password 2/10»

    Then, to change the BBID of this device and make it 'your own' device, you'll need to do a wipe of the device security. This will delete all the data in personal, contacts, calendar, etc. and restore the State of the plant basically.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how lock the screen during a call?

    Is it possible, a third-party application perhaps, to lock the screen on my Storm during a phone call? Sometimes I have to Secretary for a while and cradle of the phone on my shoulder. During these times, I either end up the person I'm talking inhibition or try to dial a number at random my contacts inadvertently. I've heard from a third-party application that is supposed to lock the screen during calls, and I'm willing to bend on this if someone can make me pointed in the right direction, however, I would like to know if there is a setting on the phone itself which can be manipulated to prevent face composition.

    In advance, thank you to all who replied.

    Absolutely, see TalkLock or StormLock to this end, both work very well.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to remove phone not appearing applications is not on the Desktop Manager?

    The following disks do not appear on the list of applications Manager Office, or in the list of applications in options of installation on the phone itself. How can I remove items from your phone if it does not give the possibility to do?

    Apps that I have installed on the phone, but appear in my applications (actual file, not in the installation options) on the phone itself.

    Bing

    Skype

    NFL Mobile

    Apps I have personally installed on the phone and then uninstalled them since the phone itself. They still show on the phone. If I click on the app, it takes me to the installation screen & gives me the options "I agree / I disagree.

    Social beat

    You Tube

    Visual Voicemail

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    For each six requests that you have listed, you can't really delete these shortcuts to application "pushed," not very easy installation. It is simpler:

    To do this: create a folder on your home screen and name it "Junk" (you can choose to be more creative the folder name ). Now, highlight each unwanted icon and press the Menu key > go to folder and move it to the folder "spam". That, for each, you don't want to do.

    Now, highlight this "Junk" folder, and select Menu > hide.

    Out of site, out of mind. Meanwhile, feel free to complain to Verizon or their own user forums.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how lock missing Blackberry

    My blackberry was absent yesterday PIN is one does not 2557BEC8 someone can how to locate my lack on BIS, 8320, or put then one who stole it can't use the phone... and I already have contact my mobile phone seller, they say to ask help from this forum coz they can't stop...

    Hello

    Access your site from the BIS and kill all e-mail accounts.

    Send service directories.

    If you know the NGE still better.

    (if you still have the ESN box is printed on it).

    Call the carrier and give them two numbers and make sure they isolate it and your sim card from your account.

    Ask the carrier if they report stolen BB PIN, they are unique, but I don't know what the carrier has done with her.

    Obtain a report on insurance policy. That's all I know to do. If all goes well, other will have more information.

    That good luck!

  • Notifications of calendar to blackBerry Smartphones turn on the phone

    I searched for the answer and can't find it.  I have a Blackberry 8330 and love it.  If the phone is turned off and I have a notification callback to the calendar (for a meeting), it will turn the phone back on.  It's very irritating in a film or in a plane - when your phone is turned off. I know how to go in the profile and advanced and make changes.  However, under calendar, it doesn't give me that les options options 'ring', 'volume', 'number of beeps', 'repeat notification' to remove the flashing LED or "number of vibrations."   Help, please.  He's on the phone to my husband too.

    Is this a feature of the phone or carrier?  I have Sprint as a carrier.  One of my friends has Verizon and its not done.

    IT IS EVERYTHING!  I have my "auto on / off", set up on my phone.  If I don't get this option when I turn off the phone with the key.  But if I'm going to "turn off the power" on the screen, it gives me this opportunity.  And it works, it keeps the phone off.

    Thank you very much!!!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones cannot lock the keyboard

    I just upgraded my 8520 to 5.0.0.681 and can not find the lock on keyboard anywhere. I used to have assigned it to the left button and it gives me more is this option.

    Can anyone tell me please where to find the keyboard lock please

    Your previous lock icon is now only enabled when you have set a password on the device.

    If you have not set a password on the 85xx you can press on and hold the mute (on the upper part of the unit) to lock the keyboard. Or, you can press and hold down the a button * to lock.

    When you set a password, then your icon will return to the screen and is called Password Lock.

    Also, try this keyboard blocking third-party application.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Missing calls - the phone rings do not

    Sometimes my phone acts as if it were the silent mode: a call comes in and I can see it on the screen, but it does not have a ringing sound. The very next call sounds great, even if it is the same person who called when the phone was silent. The sound settings are set to 'Normal '. The tech at the local store guys are confused.

    Any ideas why this happens?

    Thank you very much!

    I had this problem too, and the only solution was to reboot the phone and then remove the battery.  I brought back to the cell shop where I got it; they had placed the phone software updated and location of PRL, they even tried wiping the own phone electronically.

    It was an intermittent problem, so I had to constantly check to see if the ringer would work.  If the cell store eventually brought down and replaced by a new.  Now I think it works very well.  Touch wood.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones has locked the security something. Help, please!

    When I go to options > security options > advanced security option > memory cleaning there is a status option to enable it. I just recently received my blackberry and I wanted to see what this setting. I allowed him and now it is locked and it will not unlock. How can I unlock it? Seriously, I hate cleaning, it does. If I have not all clean when the settings off.

    On your BlackBerry, you have a Content Protection is enabled, the encryption Options > Security?

    If so, that disable.

    Memory cleaner is turned on, or gets in some events, such as changing a zone or to synchronize your data with Desktop Manager. If you did that?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how remove the caliper from the country.

    Hello

    Mine is 8900.

    Given the blocking of the country, I can't use it in other countries, regions. I am in Netherlands and frequently travel to other continents.

    Does anyone know how to remove the lock of the country?

    Your comments and advice would be much appreciated.

    sdgardne is correct, that you want to contact your provider for assistance.  You will also get a new SIM from TMobile card.  Other people have discovered that in some cases, old SIM cards are not working 100% in BlackBerry devices, but once that they swap the SIM card, they have no more problems, and he can use his device as you would expect.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how reset the active device in the Desktop Manager?

    Hello

    I lost my old phone blackberry (Curve 8320) and replaced by a new (Bold 9700). I want to put the new phone as the active device for my manager to Desktoip. Whenever I connect the new phone, it is listed as "Device connected" but my old phone still appears as "active Instrument '. When I connect the new phone, it also gives me an option to change to the new company profile. But when I click on 'Yes' it still shows the old phone as 'active Instrument '. How can I reset this setting so that my new phone becomes the active device. I use Desktop Manager version 5.0.1 and I do not wish to move to 6 because I use the Desktop Redirector functionality in version 5.0.1 which is absent from the v6. Thank you.

    John,

    So I figured out how to reset (w/o call my IT dept ). In order to reset the current device:

    1. If you use MS Exchange directly: create a new profile through control-> e-mail settings panel.

    2. If downloading emails from exchange server to local folder, and then add a new pst file and make it the default.

    After making the above, restart the Desktop Manager and follow the instructions.

    Thank you.
