BlackBerry smartphones lack all the contacts in the phone after the backup (via Desktop Manager)

Hi - my tour 9630 died, and after getting a new phone from verizon has opened the Office Manager to run the restore. I have now NO telephone contacts at all in my address book, but all my single email yahoo contacts are now in my phone. How can I recover my phone contacts?

WOW, FIXED! OK, so after playing with the phone for a while, I noticed another problem - I have had wayyyyy too much e-mail contcts; as in every yahoo only contact had synced my phone. so I went Googling issuing telephone directories, options and rset type who turned off Wi - Fi sync. then I restored (for the billionth time) and voila! no more contacts additional email and phone contacts are back.

Weird question and I wonder if this is normal?

is it possible to be notified before restoration you must disable your wireless sync (which I didn't even know was)?

Thank you blackberry forums! you solved my problem again!

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with all the apps that need to connect to the internet, except BB browser

    OK so I had downloaded Opera mini 4.2 and iheartradio and slacker radio and they all worked perfect for 3 days and then all of a sudden, they don't work. I timed out connections and even google maps app on my phone usually connect. The only app that connects to the internet is the BB browser (the one that looks like a globe of aureole around it). There is no other applications running causing an obstruction of. 6.8 GB is open in memory, so im puzzled? Someone help me please Im racking my brain trying to figure what it would cause. The last time it worked was listening from morning to the Slacker, then went to lunch trying to get onto the opera would not connect, then I'm on the BB browser, so it does not connect with any other app HMMMMPH.

    Understood the problem, I had a few memory leaks. Here's what I did:

    It is a database file that stores information for the applications downloaded/installed. Even if deleted still stores information about them. Use of the DM to clear it.

    Go to backup/restore > advanced > bases > content store (on your Blackberry Desktop Manager)

    Choose clear database. (Content store only)

    TADAAAA! It cleared up 3MB of space on my phone and everything works OK!

  • Landscape keyboard in Mode for blackBerry Smartphones has all the keys!

    Really panicking here. Updated my sys to 4.7.0.75 software, and now my keyboard in landscape mode has all the keys. The keyboard looks like a hybrid of the full qwerty and suretype keyboard view portrait, with two letters in a single touch. Some keys have letters on them.

    In addition, portrait view multitap keyboard has all the keys. There are exactly eight keys with letters attributed to them. Areas where there would normally be keys and letters are empty.  View portrait suretype keyboard works perfectly fine.

    I don't know how it happened. Someone at - he lived the same problem? Anyone got a fix?

    Remove the battery for 15 seconds, then replace them.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones to find the backup files to restore to the replacement unit

    I have problems to find where the Blackberry Desktop Manager is to store my backup files.  A search on my computer for .ipd files shows nothing.  I did a backup of my original device and wants to restore the contacts, calendar, and photos.

    Edit: After another attempt at original device backup and restoring the device the Desktop Manager has the restore button grey replacement.  In addition, the device PIN reads "zero" with unit replacement set.

    Thanks, the third try was the charm.  The Documents folder was there and the PIN has been finally recognized and restore is complete.

  • BlackBerry smartphones receiving "connector specific error" when you try to synchronize 8310 w / Desktop Manager

    I've had my phone for over a year and never had any problems until this morning in Sync Center (when he was trying to read the contents of my calendar of the device), he shut it down and said "Connector specific error" and the synchronization ends. I tried to update my software to the latest version, because I was using 4.5, but even after I removed the 4.5 and installed to 4.7, I got the same error.

    Help!

    Joe

    EDIT: Remove personal information

    According to this article, one of the databases (calendar, address book, tasks, Notepad) is synchronized got corrupted.

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB15294

    That is it stops on the synchronization?

    You'll probably end up deleting the database. First, use the backup and restore utility to perform a full backup of your data. Then, go to the backup and restore | Advanced. Select the database is damaged on the right side and press the Clear button. In doing so, you clear all the entries in this database.

    Try to make a synchronization later and see if it goes through okay.

  • RIM blackBerry smartphones must strengthen the strategy of desktop software preconfigured for keep/gain of market share.

    Since there is no other way to communicate with the RIM on the strategy, let's go. CEO Jim Basillie should consider the following enhancements to the product immediately.

    (1) implement a feature in BlackBerry Desktop Software (BB DD) that allows a laptop/Netbook/tablet computer be used as a supersized BB user interface. BB ball should act as a pointing to the laptop/Netbook/tablet computer device (without disabling other native pointing devices).

    (2) enable tethering for the function of modem IP via WiFi from the laptop/Netbook/tablet computer and the BB (not just cable USB or Bluetooth).

    3) ensure that the Citrix product Receiver performs well in three modes:

    1. Running on the BB
    2. Running on the BB, but using the BB DS supersized BB user interface
    3. Running on the laptop/Netbook/Tablet computer with the BB in mode Modem IP

    4) ensure that the touch BB models can act as a mouse for the Citrix Receiver (just like the combination of the iPhone/iPad).

    (5) constitute a new operation mode/indicator (LED) which is visible on board aircraft which indicates that the cellular radio has been disabled so that the BB can be used in flight while keeping the Bluetooth or WiFi

    (6) do NOT invest in the implementation of a fellow Viewer/tablet/netbook. Let others beat their brains in commodity markets. Focus on fresh if possible software.

    Probably, your notes here will not be read by the ON-BOARD staff.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones ONLY transfer Contacts between Blackberry's without all the data and settings again BB

    Anyone know if there is a way ONLY to transfer all my contacts from one Blackberry to another Blackberry without transferring all the data and settings to the other Blackberry with the device switch Wizard?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    If you have a full backup of the old Blackberry, use this .ipd file to restore only the contacts on the new device.

    If your contacts are up to date in Outlook do a one-way Outlook for contacts device synchronization.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones is it possible to see my phone numbers and addresses I saved in the blackberry Desktop Manager

    I know it's maybe a silly question - but I was finally able to download the blackberry Desktop Manager and then back up all the data from my blackberry to my computer via Desktop Manager.  For my own peace of mind, I would like to see some of these data (addresses and phone numbers) just to make sure I did the back up properly.  Is this possible?

    Well, your confidence level in the backup process is your own to define. Maybe if you start the restore process, but do not actually run it, DTM might give you indications of what it contains. I agree that I saw the posts of others who say that the backup was useless... but I have no way of judging if their characteristics are identical to yours.
