  Hi, is it possible to remove the gps function of the curve 9360?

  Well, you can remove it by deleting "maps to your BlackBerry smartphone.

  But there is a better replacement for it.

• BlackBerry Smartphones how GPS Blackberry Bold 9700 works in India?

  Hello
  3 years ago, I bought a Blackberry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile) in the United States with 2-year contract. While home, I pretty much used the feature of maps/GPS directions very well.

  But since I went to India at the beginning, I had the phone unlocked by T-Mobile. After his arrival in India, how can I now make the GPS works? Will be fair with an offer for the data service to the work of mobile service provider? or should I do something else in the BlackBerry phone device to make it work?

  I'm looking forward to using the GPS for the use of applications that could help me track my race (like RunKeeper... etc)

  Any help on this aspect is highly appreciated. Thank you.

  BlackBerry data plan is totally different from normal Internet data plan. It is essential requirement to the configuration of the e-mail, browse the internet or using BlackBerry Messenger.

  You can browse the Blackberry App World with this data plan and install applications. You can do without the data plan. In this case, you will need to use the Wi - Fi feature.

  Verizon has activated the GPS for use ONLY on BlackBerry Maps.

• Question of blackBerry Smartphones with GPS in 9700 after the OS 6 upgrade

  I just upgraded my os in Bold 9700 OS 6. After the update the GPS in the phone is idle and there is no way I can activate it.

  From your home screen, go to Options > device > device and state information.  Type the word 'test' without the quotes.  There is no field in which to enter and nothing is displayed on your screen.  Just type in it.  Click OK to start the test, press the menu key and select start.  Then decide if you want to be guided by the test.  On the next screen, check the box next to GPS and click run at the bottom.  Go outside and do the test and let us know what happens.

• BlackBerry Smartphones with GPS on blackberry "BOLD"

  We have a user who stops the following message appears when you try to use the GPS function on his new bb "BOLD":

  Unable to reach the server.  This happens after he asks his login and password.  He worked at a given time and no longer works, he said.  We have already done a reset.  I've seen conflicting information about the GPS on the "BOLD" function.  Some say it works, some say, is not.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  In addition, its internet capabilities work fine.

  We had to go back to AT & T and they had to wipe the device and reload the software in order to get the GPS to work.  They have not explained why it would not have worked the first time.

  Thanks for your comments.

• BlackBerry Smartphones internal GPS works do not...

  All I get when trying to use cards is "research satellite. That's all. A few days ago has worked well. Today, nothing. I hooked a weather program that uses 'My position', and he's looking for just the satellite also.

  Ideas? Is my phone f * ked?

  I had this also happens once, and which fixed my problem was the battery on my phone for all 5 minutes.  Then once the phone has been started upward; just double check and make sure that under Options > Advanced Options > GPS "GPS Services" is set to "location On".

  Just give a try.

• BlackBerry Smartphones [BB8800] GPS Simple question

  Hello

  I recently got a used BB8800 to a family member that I have a more recent version. I can't get a subscription (at resonable price) where I live who will support the internet features of it, if im just using it as a cell/text message device.

  My question, the build in GPS requires a subscription to work? I can't find the satellites at any time. Otherwise, my device may be broken or I don't know...

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  It should be a plan of GPS data. I'm sorry.

  For future reference allow GPS, click options > advanced options > GPS services place on > location active caregiver.

  Thank you

• Screen problem touchscreen blackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Storm2 9550

  Hello!

  I am a Sri Lanakan. Last week, I bought a Blackberry Storm2 9550 used, eBay (from a seller of e. u.). All the functions work fine except the touch screen. Can press on the touchscreen. (edges and around the screen) But he get caught suddenly, and also when am pressing an icon, phone highlights another icon. (as axample, when am pressing contacts in the home screen, phone highlights two contacts and sms). As I suppose, at this time there the phone detects it as multi touch and so I can't support what either. When am reset (battery pull) the phone, it solves the issue for a few minutes or hours, subsequently faced the same question.

  I tried to fix it by putting a piece of paper to the battery cavity, but nothing has changed.

  My storm is an unlocked phone (Comes to Verizon, but later unblocked), which is running version 5 software. ...... . 713 fact in Mexico 5.

  I want also to the last update available for my phone and how to update.

  You have other ideas on my problem touch screen? This is the main question, I want to solve as soon as possible. Do I need to fix it with a spacialist? Is it a hardware failure or a software? He solved by upgrading my version of software or restore to the factory settings.

  None of these remedies could work. Without practice, it is impossible for me to know anything 100%. The best advice I can give you is to upgrade your operating system to the latest version (. 1015). It could very well be that, as a device, it was damaged by the previous owner and it will never work for you. As I say, it is impossible to tell at this distance-internet.

  What is the meaning of the hard reset? It is equal to pull the battery?

  In my opinion, Yes, but there are others in the world who think differently. The best reference is the official:

  • KB02141 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone

  Most of us who have dealt with this for awhile understand that power should be turned on when you pull the battery.

  Once again, it's impossible to say at this internet distance.

  Hereby, I have attached an image. Please answer those as well.

  

  The first (top right) is the GPS indicator... I do not exactly remember what icon the way that... I suggest that get you the the user guide for your BB from here:

  • http://docs.BlackBerry.com/en/

  The other appears only if your carrier has eliminated an update wireless for you. You say that it is the "best way" for you... I would add that this is the MOST DANGEROUS way. You see, via this method update, on the device of data backup is taken, that is rendered after the update (the update effectively wipe everything). This backup is a file use 1... If something is wrong in the upgrade process, all your data is lost forever. The update method that I gave you is the best method that 1) it tells you first take a manual backup and 2) the process itself will also take another backup... and both of these backup files are stored on your PC and can later serve as a source of food since they are not 1-use files.

  Pls send me a link if you can, to download the latest update.

  You have already the link... it's in the instructions I have given to perform the update... This is the portal of official download for all carriers. Simply, you browse to the carrier of your choice and download their bundle of BONES for your model number.

  I'm trying to use Facebook on my mobile phone and be able to 'check in', as they call it.  Basically means that when I post will give my nearest location for example.  My phone tells me it can't because... "location service is disabled. Please activate in the Options of the terminal, location Services,"I studied all that I know not how, and no where have I found something on location Services.   Anyone know what this means and how I turn it on?  Thank you!!

• BlackBerry Smartphones E-mails from gmail is not on Blackberry

  Because I had problems with my other email account, I recently "moved" my correspondence email business to my gmail account, I had rather used as a backup before. I had both my accounts put in place on my blackberry and I remember them both increased and works well, but I cannot say with certainty that I have rarely received emails on gmail.

  The problems I have now (I had also, at the same time re - configure my blackberry, but everything should be ok now) is that the gmail account is not working properly after the installation. At first, it seemed to work pretty well, but now it's extremely erratic, at best, with a few emails that crosses and their reception by the blackberry, not at all and if yes with a delay of up to a few days (!).
  This makes the combination of my now main mail to gmail account and my blackberry on which I rely heavily for communication when I'm out of the House completely unusable.

  I have heard and read (even if for the most part in internet posts that are a few years old) it seems to be a problem running with gmail and blackberry accounts. Is - this irreparable?

  Is there a solution?

  If all else fails, use a new account (new) would be the only alternative left - which would be a messaging provider that matches 100% with the blackberry e-mail program?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

  1) register HRT

  • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
  • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

  2) Remove and return Service books

  • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
  • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
  • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
  • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

  3) restart

  • 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! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts.

  In addition, with GMail, you must be sure to have a good setting inside GMail. Via PC/browser, you control what GMail is facing the internet for your account (POP, IMAP, or both). I always recommend that you turn OFF POP and turn on IMAP in Gmail. Then set up fresh for your BB and you will have the 'best' available (IMHO) settings for GMail.

  Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support. What you describe certainly shouldn't happen on a regular basis (even if we must all accept the intermittent nature of everything on the internet).

  Good luck!
