  2. can I make a photo of the main screen (with icons)? rather than the clouds or Sun that sprint provides?

  Looking forward to feedback! Thank you!

  You delete messages FROM gmail Web page (that is, the mail server page) or your Outlook?

  From Outlook, no, deleted messages don't reconcile.

  Since GMail Web page server, Yes, deletes reconcile BOTH ways, but it takes MUCH more time from the server to the BB device.

• BlackBerry Smartphones, please answer a few basic questions

  I went Saturday to buy my Blackberry Curve to US Cellular, but I guess I was expecting more big, so I ended up going with the Moto Q9c. WHAT A MISTAKE!  I hate this phone!  Can I Exchange my phone once within 30 days, but I'm afraid that since they are both smart phones that I'm not happy with the Blackberry and I will be stuck with it.  Then... someone who has the curve or the 8300 (?) (it's the largest) could you please answer a few questions for me?

  1. can you download ringtones of your real?

  2. can you use songs downloaded in the media player as ringtones?

  3. When you acknowledge (read) to a text, that the judgment of your play (it is not on the MOTO Q)?

  4. can I assign tones to ring/text for each individual contact.

  5 do you have to go through a bunch of menus to send texts or view the mailboxes for the text (Inbox, sent, drafts box, etc.)?

  I think that's it.  Your Blackberry genius any help would be greatly appreciated!

• BlackBerry Smartphones new owner without data Plan Questions

  This is my first post here, yesterday I received my new BB Curve 8900 from T-Mobile. I spent some time playing with the phone yesterday and of course I have a few questions.

  I chose to do not to get the data plan from T-Mobile for two reasons. One, I don't have many friends with BB if I wouldn't get many people to BBM. Second, I don't have much of a need for e-mail and internet while I travel. For me, the cost of the data plan doesn't make sense.

  That being said, it is possible to access his mail without the data plan (via wifi)? I know that I can't do 'BB Push' and is not a problem, but on my old phone (Nokia E71) I could just set the phone with my email accounts and access it using the WiFi at school or at home. I was able to get the BB browser to access my home wi - fi so I could go to the Web sites, but no luck with the e-mail. I guess I could use the email by logging in on the site of my school or AOL/GMail.com, but seems very not. Is it possible to do this, or perhaps there is an app that I could use to receive email via Wi - Fi?

  I read a lot of posts on here talking about how BB is "paralyzed" without the data plan, but honestly I don't know if a few hundred extra dollars a year is justifiable.

  Thank you!

• BlackBerry Smartphones new 9320 battery

  Can someone help me with my BlackBerry smartphone! < br > < br > 4 days ago, I went into a store and joined promo called "Swap and Switch BlackBerry. I swapped my old BlackBerry to a new curve 9320/7.1.0.398 (B1319) basically, I live in the Philippines and my carrier is Globe telecom. And for some reason, my battery does not work to my expectation, I need to load 2 - 3 times a day even though I'm not a heavy user. I get 3 emails per day, no call, I have BBM, I receive text messages but I don't answer, I have facebook but not twitter, I play from time to time the music and SURFs the internet. but it goes too fast for me. It is the only small curve battery? < br > < br > I got all my settings tweaked, together the brightness up to 10%, 10seconds backlight time, battery-saving mode is ON, delete all my apps removed third-party social feeds also, my network is 2 g, removal of updates on my BBM, off GPS, past before bedside mode that I sleep and I always make sure that no other applications running in the background to name a few! Believe me, I did save all tricks I could stack, but nothing seems to work. < br > < br > I regularly check my CPU usage, but no application seems to run in the background, even did some research on how to properly load a Li-ion battery, but my battery drain is still at 11-12%/hr. What should I do?

  I updated my version of the OS, I'll give it a week and see if it improves my battery.

• BlackBerry Smartphones New on the forum and the Blackberry

  Had a few questions. I searched your forums for 2 days and please bear with me as I knew not how to answer a text on my blackberry, when I got it LOL

  1. If we can watch tv on our blackberry series? (I love the biggest loser and here in Georgia they show basketball instead)

  2 live radio it works?

  3. How can I disable a missed call messages?

  4. How can I change my front screen icons?

  Im sure I will have more and thank YOU

  Michelle

  Hey goddess72, welcome to the forums!

  Here's an attempt at some answers for you:

  1. do not know... I have not really tried to watch TV on my phone.  I hope someone else can answer that for you.

  2 live radio... What you mean?  Are you referring to a specific application?  I know that there is a program called Slacker Radio which is available in the United States who are supposed to be great (as I am across the border to the North, I don't get to use it ).

  3. press the green phone button.  Upward at the top, click the call button (the one in the middle), press the BB menu button, scroll down to Options, and then under call to the log, select None.  You will always get messages that you have missed a call (as with other phones), but you will not get a message you record Messages more.

  4. to change your icon screen before (homescreen) order, select the icon you want to move up, press the BB Menu, select move, then just place it where you want and click on the screen, or press Menu of BB to confirm the move.

  I hope that helps answer some of your questions!  Do not hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions!

• BlackBerry Smartphones of custom ringtones

  is it possible to assign different ringtones to different contacts

  You can create contact alerts that allow you to customize ringtones and alerts for calls and messages from specific contacts or groups of contacts. When you receive a call or a message from the contact, your BlackBerry® smartphone uses the assigned ring tone or alert, even if you select the silent or vibrate only profile. If you do not want to be informed with the assigned ring tone or alert, you can select the profile of all alerts Off.
  1. on the home screen, click the sounds and alert profiles.
  2. click on change sounds and alerts > sounds for Contacts > Add Contact alert.
  3. in the name field, type the name of the contact alert.
  4. in the Contacts field, type the name of the contact.
  5. click a contact.
  6. change the tone and information alert ring for calls and messages.
  7. press the Menu button > save.
  To remove an alert contact, highlight the contact alert you want to delete. Press Menu > delete.

• BlackBerry Smartphones New User: Questions about the internal clock synchronization, software updated

  Hellko Forum.

  For two weeks, I use a Blackberry Bold 9900 with OS7.1 and I am very satisfied with the device.

  But there are some questions for which I have found no solution:

  (*) Looking back at my old Siemens S10D or SK65, they had an option to synchronize the internal clock with time of the GSM network information. Will there be a similar option in the Bold 9900? What I found was an option in the date and time settings. But when I put "Government aktualisieren" (setting the time) on 'automatic' then time switches to October 5, 2013, 12:20 and nothing happens. Is it possible to connect to an NTP server? If so, where to enter the address?

  (*) On this Web page http://de.blackberry.com/software/smartphones/update/blackberry7-os.html?LID=de:bb:support:update - of... Describes how to upgrade the software of the smartphone "over the air". But I can't find this option. Where the developer has hidden this feature?

  Thanks a lot for the answers in advance

  Best regards

• BlackBerry smartphones new user questions

  New user here-

  Can I use different ICONS on the home screen to different eMails that I established?

  Secondly, how can I set up a speed dial key to add the phone number with a delay, then a box mailbox and password to make it easy to get a work voicemail messages?  You must have a way... All help apprecated.

  I want to set up a short number that made up my office and enters the letters/password box after voice mail comes into play.  Speed dial, I'm putting in place is for my office - not the Blackberry... I can only see ways to add contacts (with none of the appendices) existing at a speed dial button...

  I don't know what you mean by "appendices".

  You can create a contact phone number will contain a break, then continues the other numbers and then wait for a click from you and then continues again.

• BlackBerry Smartphones new user Question - how do I synchronize Messages sent from the Bold 9700

  I'm under BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.1.37 and turned off the option "Reconcile E-mails" and "Email" is not mentioned in "Set up Sync". I have an out business BlackBerry data plan with my carrier. My computer is running XP PRO sp3 and Office 2007 is installed my question is how can I synchronize messages sent from my Bold 9700 in Outlook 2007? Thank you in advance.

  allanc wrote:
  An alternative (for me) would be to * always and automatically * send a bcc to a specifc all my sent messages.

  I can't find this option in the documentation.

  Are there?

  Yes, in your BIS account for this email address configuration. Change the configuration and at the bottom, you will see a checkbox automatically BCC messages.

  Then, on your Outlook, you can set a filter for incoming messages of yourself to be re-directed to your sent folder.

• Users of blackBerry Smartphones New questions

  Hi all - just got the Blackberry Curve 8900 yesterday and so far am liking it a lot.  I thought a lot of my questions, here are a couple that may be "duh" kinds of things, but I can't understand them:

  -I signed up for Viigo and downloaded the BB and looked at him for a while and then it closed. But now... can not know where it is or how to get in.  I think it is supposed to be an icon on the main screen, but there is no, and if I go in the folder apps, it isn't here either.

  -The same with Pandora.  I was listening to him last night, but this morning can not understand how to enter again.

  -I can't go to any of my work emails, which are both accessible from the web.  When I log into one, looks like it is loading up, but I get a blank screen; When I connect to another, I click on connection and it goes back to the login screen, no error message I can see.  (it's perhaps too specific to answer, I don't know-)

  -I would like to download Evernote.  On the Evernote page it tells me to click on the Blackberry applications page, but once I'm there, I can only find "featured apps", even though I know it must be a lot more -?  How can I get all the apps available on the Blackberry applications page?

  -I uploaded an image, but it isn't in my photo file.

  -When I put my my old phone t-mobile SIMS card in the BB and asked him to import the contacts, she won only the first number; in some cases, I got home, cell and work + E-mail numbers - do I have to type all that for each person?

  Sorry for all the questions - I guess it'll take me all day to get everything I like. Thanks for any help anyone can give me-

  -Viigo and Pandora, check your download folder, the folder Applications, the et.c

  -For your e-mail to work... they are configured to push on your device? Or you connect via the BlackBerry browser?

  -Open the media icon > Menu key (to the left of the trackball) > Explorer and look in all folders.

  -AddressBook > Menu > SIM Phone Book > let it open > Menu > copy everything in the address book.

  Good luck and welcome to the Forums.

• BlackBerry Smartphones new user of BB - 2 Questions

  Question 1- I can't access my voicemail by pressing '1 '. When I press and hold "1", it asks if I want to assign a speed dial. The only way I found to access my voicemail is highlighted in any number, ranging from in the call log in the Menu and then I can call voicemail from there. I bought this phone from someone and they already had a set number of Speed Dial to '1' which I was able to remove. How can I add my voicemail on speed dial? Is there another way to access the mailbox other than what I mentioned above?

  Question - 2 My sister called me work and I want to add this number to the contact. I got a Razr before this phone and I was able to just click on that number and select the option 'add a contact '. I don't see where this phone will allow me to do, another that enter it manually in the address book and edit its contact page to add his work number. Is this fair?

  Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  Thank you very much for the help!

  The instructions in the link to fix the box voice speedial was a little too, lol. So I didn't remove the battery, put it in and my voicemail is automatically assigned to the speedial #1.

  In regard to the second question concerning the addition of a number of the call for an existing contact log, I guess that's impossible. I looked through the manual and it did not find anywhere. Well.

  Thanks again for the help!

• BlackBerry Smartphones new Curve 8330 and charge the battery/question already?

  Hi all

  I just got a new Curve 8330 last week.  I noticed that it takes ages to completely charge the phone when the battery only about 40%.  The other day it took about 5 hours to get to 100%, I use the power supply provided and also tried the USB cable with the software already installed.

  Tonight, it's about 60 percent, and I decided to load it.  After 3 hours or more, he went up to 45, then 40% and I was not still use it.  Battery icon is there (the icon of the card) then he recognizes it is connected.  I did the battery pull and wait another hour, another 40%.  Then another battery pull and still 40% after an hour.

  I came on this forum and saw the mention of the app QuickPull.  Downloaded it, ran it, and after it restarted, it had fallen to 5%!  Now, it says "low battery" and I do not really understand why.

  Until I started typing this post, I made an another battery pull and abandoned the USB plug.  It is now back up to 15%.  I am really hesitant to reach a store because the last time I brought my LG phone on a known battery problem (getting bulgy where you can spin) and they winded in my entire phone replacement

  Please let me know what I'd do here.  Is this a battery problem, phone licensing, etc.?  What my expectations are on acquire it quickly back to 100%?  I do not drain the battery that much.  It took two days so he can go down to 60%, but I do not understand why it takes so long to load and then it seems to perform when I plug.

  Thanks for your time.  I know this is a long post.  My battery is now 20%?  So he went from 5 to 20% in less than half an hour so confused.

  If you had access to another battery and/or charger, I suggest that you try to change one and if it does not, another permutation. You will have to perhaps just take the phone back, but if I were you, I would make them give me a new battery and charger, just to be safe, because it looks like one or the other may be bad.

• BlackBerry Smartphones new "BOLD" E-mail on BES not activate

  Hello everyone, I hope somewhere here could point me in the right direction or solution. I'm the network administration work a company that hosts an exchange for a server a group of people. 13 of these users also have an account on a configuration of BES here in my office. The BES has been implemented before my time and it was always one of those things that is sitting there and does what it is supposed to do. Support peope here have added and deleted the BES phones in the past with no problems until about 5 days ago.

  We have a customer who has an account on the BES to get its Exchange e-mail sent to his Blackberry. It was recently upgraded to the new BlackBerry Bold and crossed the activation up to e-mail. The support here in my Office I he traveled to his email address and the password, but then he asked for the IP address that was new to everyone who has managed the BlackBerry to my company. The user contacted AT & T and they referred to RIM, he says, they took contact with RIM and they referred us to hide. And somehow all of this back to the administrator of the network to sort.

  I'm not very familiar with the Blackberrys but am pretty tech savvy. The user is a few hundred miles away so I did not have the freedom to play with her. Someone saw something similar or of what should go in the IP address section? I deleted his account out of BES and then put it back on, and said the State is Initializing. Any help would be greatly appreciated I already spent six hours on the test. The rest of the phone works, I think he said that the other phone is still on, but with another carrier.

  Please take a few minutes to read my plea.

  Josh
