BlackBerry smartphones is the BBM message for real?

I just got this forwarded to me BBM message: Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of RIM Blackberry), we had a use of usernames on Blackberry Messenger. We ask all users to convey this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take that your account is not valid and it will be removed in the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or blackberry will recognize is no longer your PIN. If you want to reactivate your account once it has been deleted, a supplement of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill. We are also aware of the question about updates of photos does not appear. We are working diligently to solve this problem and it will be operational as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation. It's for real? I noticed that recognize was spelled wrong and it just doesn't seem to make sense, but who knows more? I don't know even how to transfer a message through BBM surveys if I wanted to. Don't know what to do with it. Any help that anyone can give would be much appreciated! :-)

ajhaes, Hello and welcome to the forum.

1. this same question was asked in the forum here dozens of times.

2. the (not CEO) co-CEO of RIM is named Jim Balsillie, not balsamic (which is a years vinegar made in Italy); Second, the name of the company is blackBerry, not blackberry, and finally if you think that RIM monitors your BlackBerry Messenger messages about whether or not you re - send this message, don't you think THAT RIM could read all your messages? You would put in place with that?

3. don't you currently get a bill from BlackBerry to which they can add 25.00 to? Users are normally charged by their mobile provider, not RIM or BlackBerry.

So, what do you think?

Solution? Remove the user from your BBM contacts who was stupid enough to send you the message.

  • BlackBerry smartphones erase the 'New Messages' icon for Blackberry Messenger

    My Blackberry is configured to use Enterprise and our company does not allow access to BlackBerry Messenger (saying it is blocked by the company policy message if I try to run it). It's all right, I didn't want to hack the system, however, it seems that someone tried to send me a few messages using what I have an icon on the screen before showing 7 pending messages.

    Is there a way I can delete these, or disable the icon, without being able to access the Messenger? I keep thinking that I have new messages or text messages in waiting!

    OK, so if you are doing a new installation (use your browser to go to www.blackberry.com/messenger) and install the application again, it now appears under modules, and THEN you can click to uninstall it.

    Yep, that will definitely throw a crimp in your BIS data connection.

    How can you not have noted that early?

    • Put the SIM card in and start the backup.
    • Leave the appliance to connect again with your network, roaming.
    • Then you should be able to go to your Mobile network settings and to disable the connection to your mobile phone network and to use BBM and email, etc., through WiFi only.
  • BlackBerry Smartphones purchased the "shield Invisible for BB 9530" - something missing

    Hi all on the Forum,

    Yes, it's true, there was something missing in the package. I have BB 9530. I went to Best Buy, which is 2 hours of me buying the "Invisible Shield" by zagg. In the package, there is a mini squeege, the new film of the shield to fit on the face of BB 9530 to protect and finally spray for the application of the shield.    Guess what, spray tube was nothing in it for the spray material.

    I'm not complaining, just want to know what are your impressions? Its I don't believe telling someone the vaporizer is bone dry. Purchased from Best Buy 2 hours for about $24,00. Thanks for your thoughts!

    Sincerely, Timwa100 have BB 9530, aged about 2 weeks.

    I call the store and let them know what is happening and the length of the walk, you may get a credit in store or discount. Alternatively, you can use any small bit of SOAP liquid and water in the spray bottle, I did myself, during the replacement of protective screen. Just be sure to spray the plastic not BB.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones only restore BBM contacts - how?

    Hello

    How can I restore ONLY my BBM contacts using the desktop software?  I looked through the choice of data but none like the right. I have a Torch 9800 and I use the latest office software. (6.0 bundle 1907)

    I use my BB especially for work it is setup with connection of mail company so last week when I had problems they have wiped my BB and now my email and business contacts sync works well again but I lost all my BBM contacts.

    In the restore office option, I use the "select parameters and device data" to select data to restore, but I cannot easily determine what type of data I should be restore so I didn't wipe my e-mail contacts existing or other parameters. Given that I had about 60 BBM contacts fields that show a counter that is close (and therefore looks promising) to the correct quantity are: Messages, folders, store of Trusted keys, stored key pocket, and recent contacts.

    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

    No, you're not... the latest version is 6.1.0 Bundle 34...

    See this KB for a list of all databases on the BB:

    • KB03974 List of all databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

    The appropriate injector is there. It's a shame you didn't otherwise save your BBM contacts... BBM itself offers the possibility to make a backup of contacts... I've always found that more useful than the ability to backup/restore of desktop software.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones untrapped Exception error messages

    Hi nGuys,

    I was sent an email with a large attachment with it and now I can't access my emails or send texts?

    Whenever I try, I am presented with this error message: -.

    "Eception exception: java.long.array Indexoutofboundsexception' and an 'OK' button."

    When I click this, (in the vain hope that everything will be OK from here in, it disconnects from the app and I'm at square one!)

    That's why making the phone useless.

    When I contacted Blackberry support, it says that he does not know of "Eception exception: java.long.array Indexoutofboundsexception'?"

    Little help would be greatly appreciated: -.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There is virtually no diagnosis of those - they are the equivalent of random errors in Windows for which trace the root cause is futile. Basically, here's the last out in the programming code - some event occurred for which there is no event handler in the code. The patch is an update of the code that handles the event... but, again, what is the event is almost impossible. So, there are a few things to try:

    Sometimes, the code simply is damaged and needs to be updated - just like a reboot:

    • 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.

    There may be a code updated to the value of the carrier - check out them through this Portal:

    The toughest possible causes are a bad application behave. To find it, there are two options. Is to see if you can read the log file:

    Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type "lglg". (You won't see anything as you type). This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably a lot of pages) until you see a line that says "eception execption. Click on this line. The application name will be in the info. Alternative methods to implement the newspapers are in this KB:

    • KB05349 How to activate, view, and extract the the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone

    The other method is to remove the apps one at a time, wait a while between the two (I usually recommend a week), until the problem stops... revealing the offending application. Yet another method is to recharge the BB OS itself, leaving little time between the addition of other applications on the BB in order to be able to determine exactly what is the cause.

    That's an interesting statement... exactly how did you get that? As in, who did you call? RIM offers zero support to front line for BBs... only via the escalation of a carrier can you receive free support from RIM. You go through your carrier?

    Good luck and let us know!
