• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS on any area network?

  Hi, I m new with BB but I want to know something, can I use the GPS function or the WiFi features on a place that has no cell phone network signal /... for example, if a trip to another country with no active roaming?

  Thanks in advance.

  GPS on blackberry requires NO wifi or data.  BlackBerry maps, google maps and most current main GPS apps for blackberry require data or wifi, but it's a limitartion of these software applications, not blackberry devices.  There are other FREE applications that DO NOT require any data plan.  Nor do even need wifi connectivity.

  Google search for 'Mobile GMAPS' download the free app on your Blackberry.  It can be used completely with just your phone internal GPS and mapping files that have been downloaded to your SD card.  Or, if you want, you can use the wifi instead of data, but there is absolutely no need for any connection other than via the internal GPS device once you have maps on your SD card.  Mobile GMaps is not nearly as feature packed as GPS applications more mainstream for blackberry that currently require data plans, but hey, it's a free app and you will save data charges.

  Once you have installed Mobile GMAPS on your phone, you will need to use your PC and go to www (dot) mapcacher (dot) com and create a mapping file using google, yahoo or live maps.  Just select the area of the map you want, select zoom levels 1-16, choose the amount of detail and then click on the button to begin to build your mapping file.  The file will be created in a few seconds.

  You must then import this map file into an application like v0.7.2.2 gmapmaker mgmaps (dot) com/www cache (point) and install it on your pc as well. Import the mapping file into this tool and your map will be created.  There are a few different tools that can do the same thing - you can learn more about the different ones on Mobile GMAPS forums or better yet the site Crackberry - this is where I originally found the tutorial for this process.

  Get the built cards is not difficult, but it may take some time depending on your broadband ISP, the size of a map that you create and the amount of detail that you put on it (zoom levels add more information and you can choose anywhere between 1-17).  Then there is also the matter of getting the map to your sd card file once it is built because there will be a lot of small image files and folders Windows PC may not like if the structure of the file is too big.

  I recommend trying a few small test cards (like just your city) so you see how it works, try the different zoom levels and details.  After a few tries, you'll know how to create the perfect cards and the best files of sizes to easily copy maps on your SD card.

  It is not the best tool, but it is available and it is free and can be used anywhere and anytime - as long as your GPS can find the satellites.  I imagine that there will be much progress in other programs that do the same thing, because the free service is the way to go!  I hope that the major GPS manufacturers take note and join the herd by creating SD maps for blackberry devices too (windows mobile and symbian phones have this option) or they'll be next to lose a lot of money.  Why would anyone want to use their data plan to use the GPS when it should work on its own?

  The answer THEY will tell you is because it allows you to get the latest maps all the time, it's a limitation of phone blackberry that data is required.  This is total Bull * if.  The cards are always changing, but not enough to justify the cost of data each month.  Their is a lot of software SD card capable apps out there (TomTom, Garmin, Navigon, etc.), but they only work on Windows Mobile and Symbian, and because Blackberry push data, the SD versions have not been built yet.  At least with this tool, you know it is possible and can stop believing the hype of data plan.  In addition, if you want new cards, you can go out and download a new one whenever you want and copy it in your SD car.

  Enjoy your free, anytime, anywhere, GPS and pass on the good news to other friends of blackberry.

• Lost blackBerry Smartphones maps folder?

  I just got my new "BOLD" weekend.  My maps and gps worked great for the first day, and then as soon as I imported my data from my old blackberry 8700, my maps folder no longer appears.  Can anyone help?

  AT & T is the carrier?

  Do two things... a simple battery pull reboot and look around again... in all folders and show everything again, etc.

  If still nothing, change the themes to one of the Stock themes and see if he's there?

• BlackBerry Smartphones maps - users of Bell Canada applications

  My Storm has no maps application installed. I tried to download "BlackberryMaps", but the site says that it is not compatible with my phone.

  Someone at - it information about an application of free or cheap cards? (I tried the Garmin maps and it works AOK, but costs $100 per year)

  I have BB Maps on my Storm with Bell.

  First on your BB home screen, select the Applications folder.  On my BB maps is presented as the first icon.  If you don't find it after scrolling in the folder Applications, then perhaps the Maps application has not been installed.

  To install the app, pull up the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, connect BB using the USB cable, click on Application Loader, and then click Start in Add/Remove Applications.  Scroll through the list and make sure that there is a check mark next to BlackBerry Maps.  Otherwise, the check, click Next and continue to install the application.  If it isn't already, then perhaps your BlackBerry Maps app was accidentally moved to another folder on your BB.  You will have to hunt to find it.  Or you could try installing it and then reinstall and it should appear in the application folder.

  See you soon

• BlackBerry Smartphones unwanted messages that are constantly appearing in the SMS

  I have a new BB 8830 and I get the same message again and again in my SMS Inbox. It reads:

  INFUSION: 0x1041c54: free GSM: stop automatically / / then boot to set of characters that are different every time.

  It says it stops automatically, but it obviosuly haat ' t. I contacted Sprint of support that was a total waste of time. Any help would be appreciated to even understand what causes this message I get around 30-40 a day, even at 1:00, which is really annoying because I have to have my phone 24/7

  Thank you

  Well, it seems, after much research, that there is a problem with the internet messaging system. 9114 indicates it is a yahoo account. As this is a new phone number for me and I had not set up a personal email yet, I can only assume it's a wedge of the former owner of phone number. Once I created my own Yahoo account with the phone via the email service blackberry internet, it must have overwirtten settings and now I have not received a single message since.

  What I gethered you can also go online for Manager messages and to 'block' sprint of this number, although I can not do because it is a phone company and we have no access to the account manager system

  I hope this helps people with the same problem

• The addition of blackBerry Smartphones release: some files are missing signatures

  I am trying to create a new product for the Playbook. I correctly signed my bar, checked by opening and by trying on two different rules. But when I try to add an exit I get this error: 'some files are missing signatures' in the 'Add files' dialog

  What is going on? How can I solve this problem?

  EDIT:

  Here's a screenshot of the error.

  

  I now have a signed application verified.

  It was my fault for "CN" fields or the way I packed up the file bar. Compare my current application:

  In any case, this problem is resolved, with which I had new problems, but that belongs here.

• BlackBerry smartphones my own videos are not formatted for this device?

  Please can someone help me... I've owned my storm for about a month now... So far, everything has been great... Until about two days when I was at the concert by nickelback... The video I shot... Would not play... I got an error that says that this video cannot be played, it is not formatted for this device... Someone please help... I can't get my hands on support. And can not get to the Verizon store at the moment I have a broken ankle at the moment... Ugh.

  Hi.This was a problem acknowledged by RIM. It's a bug that we hope is fixed with the long awaited software upgrade. See the link below for the article. Workaround but no longer works.

  The best thing to do for now is to use the synchronization of media of the office. Transfer your video to your pc and it should play in windows media player or similar. If you want to keep the video on your storm, you can transfer it back and use the option optimize for the read option that must convert to mp4.

• BlackBerry smartphone how to find BlackBerry backup voice note files?

  I don't know where my BlackBerry backup files are?  If I find I can look to see if a series of voicenotes I did in October/November is there & can I restore these?

  Hello

  Voice memos are not elements of database and therefore are not part of the backup procedure... see this:

  • KB03974 List of database for the blackBerry smartphone

  These databases are what manages the backup process. With some versions of the Desktop software, you could include the content of the memory of the device... so if your voice memos were stored there, then they should thus be included in the backup file... and you had a selective memory of the device only restore to restore (keeping in mind that it will restore ALL the memory of the device not only the voice Notes).

  You can use a drive IPD/BBB, part 3 on your PC... I heard good things about MagicBerry... to analyze your backup file to see exactly what it contains.

  If the files in question are not contained in the IPD/BBB file and were not copied separately (for example, via the mass storage Mode) to the PC, then if they are also cleared from the BB, then files are unfortunately gone for good.

  Overall, my own personal for my weekly Desktop software backup process is to make the backup with the desktop software, but then more, via the mass storage Mode, copy all the contents of my device memory and Media Card on my PC as well... just in case... you never know what might happen. Oh... and I included a manual backup of my BBM contacts to my media card as well.

  Good luck!
