BlackBerry Smartphones No way to lock my blackberry 8820

I've updated the software on my blackberry 8820 at 4.5.0.110.   The lock icon is now gone, and the backberry never seems to lock on its own. Needless to say, it's bad. If I put it in my pocket, it will start to deal on its own.

How to retrieve the lock command? I tried to "Show all" and looked in each folder for a lock icon. Not been found.

Any help appreciated.

I found my problem. The lock icon was hidden in the 'Documents to Go' folder (which I didn't even know was a folder). In any case, it seems that the problem was my fault since I found the icon of padlock, hidden in a subfolder.

Thank you

Dave

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry 8820 locked keyboard problem

    I bought a blackberry 8820 on eBay. When I put my sim card and tried to enable it, a screen message came asking me a password. I called the seller who told me to try "QWERTY123. I tried it and it worked. However, I would like to disable the security for keyboard and just use ' * ' + , but there is no option to turn off security. There is a small red symbol to the left of the option 'ENABLE' and there is no 'turn OFF' on the menu in the menu dropdown. Does anyone have an answer or a work around for this? Thank you.

    If I lock with the Lock position SMPTE command regions I can still cut off the right edge of the regions. Is there a way to lock completely any region so that I can't change it at all?

    There is a way, but not for different regions, it is only by track (all regions on this track).

  • Helps remove blackBerry Smartphones 2 way

    I have again on blackberry and need help to solve a problem.

    Page 29 in the BIS 2.5 user guide has that "when you remove a message from a built-in e-mail account, the message is also deleted on your BlackBerry smartphone.

    This does not work for me. It does not work when I delete from the camera, it will then remove the server.  It's my business account, which uses a normal pop3 server / imap type installation. Nothing fancy such as exchange servers.   I just download my server to hosts on outlook 2002 messages, thus erasing them from the server. Please note that I have the choice of using pop3 or imap.  I tried both and it does not in any way delete.

    Verizon says this will only work with BES, but as you can see above, the BIS said it should work.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    If you use IMAP and set it up properly, it "should" reconcile your bidirectional deletions, at LEAST since the e-mail server for the BB, and if you delete your your Outlook cuts from the mail server, then it should delete the BB as well. It may not work as smoothly, however.

    On the accounts POP, removing your Outlook will not reconcile with the BB.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    What you're saying, looks like it's your device lock password, which prevents you from your device. Only this password can unlock it, but for one reason or another it just is not be accepted. Most often, it is because of the keyboard... you may think that you type a number, but actually, it's a letter, lock shift is power or some other modifier key is not present in the same State as when the password was created. Unfortunately, with just one more attempt there is very little to try... you get only once chance, so the probability of success is low.

    I suggest you remove your battery, wait 5 minutes, then insert the battery, but wait at least 15 minutes before you try anything. Only, you get a chance, so you must leave your BB to be fully started before trying anything.

    If you fail the last time, what will happen is that your BB will wipe itself clean of everything and be as if it were when you received first of all, including the removal of the password. This is a security feature designed to protect valuable data and personal information on the device of thieves.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones no way to actually download appworld 3.1.2 - please help

    Hello, I have a 9900 (t-mobile).

    I tried to access the app store and said that to do this I need to update the application. I followed the prompt (click 'upgrade'); took me to a Web page, the only valid option is 'download it today "; clicked on it and was taken to a page with two links on this subject: 'View BB app world availiability' brings me to a list of countries with no link, and a link "change language", witch leads to a page with an 'English' link, which brings back me to the previous page.

    Go to the download page for blackberry for the app (3.1.2) and I have a download email link to my e-mail address of bb configured. As before, I clicked on it and was taken to a page with two links on this subject: 'View BB app world availiability' brings me to a list of countries with no link, and a link "change language", witch leads to a page with an 'English' link, which brings back me to the previous page.

    Then I navigate to the page with the bb browser and click on the download link and, once again,.
    has been brought to a page with two links on this subject: 'View BB app world availiability' brings me to a list of countries with no link, and a link "change language", witch leads to a page with an 'English' link, which brings back me to the previous page.

    I can't find any way to actually download this application, which is the method for downloading of all other applications. It is a worrying phenomenon.

    Please HELP or give me an idea where to start with this question.

    (Edit) I just did an assembly/disassembly by the desktop client - still get the prompt 'need to update', which brings me through the links lead nowhere, as shown above. I also removed app world and tried a new installation of the 2 ways this last mentioned above and got the same behavior. Something is happening with the download page?

    Try this:

    • 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.

    But give him maybe 15 minutes to "settle", without doing anything. Then, the first thing to go in the BB native browser and try the link again...

    Best!

    Help, please

    Jeff

    First thing to do is to remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it a few seconds later.

    If you meet this problem after only two months of owning your phone, you are entitled to warranty on this work.  Some carriers will exchange your phone on the spot, others will give you a replacement as they take a few weeks to fix.

    If you decide to talk to your operator the problem, be sure to make a backup of the data with BlackBerry Desktop Software before taking your phone to your business to be looked at.

  • BlackBerry smartphones any way to stop a checking updates wireless device?

    I'm trying to support nearly 100 blackberries (mainly the Tour), and any update wireless breaks phones with varying results: anywhere to delete simply sync settings of electronic mail (all carriers) all the way to the phone impossible to make/receive calls (just from T-Mobile for the lack of vocation Verizon or AT & T seems unaffected so far).  We do * not * use a BES server, however, if that's what it takes, I'm definitely ready to go.  When an update is needed (by our standards), I'll make them.  I don't really want anything coming from Blackberry, never.

    I ask users to hide the Update icon, however, they always say eventually, he comes back and keeps asking to install the update.  To get rid of the gene, they do the update, break the phone, then have the greater discomfort to wait until I can get the fixed phone.

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes I believe that a BES is required.

    See this link for the various IT policies you can set for the updates of wireless software

  • BlackBerry Smartphones best way to get the best picture, the phone is off?

    I think it's true that when we send a jpeg image which was obtained using the camera of the phone it is compressed... to a certain extent.

    What is the best way to dload an image uncompressed computer desktop or such so that we can get the higher resolution image?

    Hey copperbeech,.

    You can also use the mass storage Mode to browse your BlackBerry Media Card of your computer to find the image and copy it to a folder on your PC.

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones has way to disable the Notifications screen?

    Before I can get by email or phone on my BlackBerry, I must first click OK several times to dismiss the calendar to display notifications. Is there a way to disable these notifications?

    I use mainly my BlackBerry during the day, so accumulate calendar notifications. Then in the evening I want to check emails or make a quick call. I wake up the BlackBerry and am forced to click OK several times to remove all notifications of calendar before I can read an email or make a call. I would like to disable this function of "convenience".

    Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi mikerisner and welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums!

    To turn off notifications, go to your calendar, press the menu key and choose Options. Select the calendar you want to disable. Change the option to display reminders to no. that will eliminate pop-up reminders on your BlackBerry for this calendar.  If you have reminders of several calendars, for each affected.

    Hope that helps!

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones! I'm locked!

    A few days ago, I put all my various credit card, Bank, etc., usernames and passwords on the Memo pad.  I created a password, I've never done before.  Later in the day, I tried to use my Tour 9630 and the screen showed a lock, no other icons and requested my password.  I put what I thought I had created.  Did not work.  I have 10 tries before I'm devastated and I'm up to 7.  No. I didn't write it.  I tried another one of my standard personal passwords, then variations.  No luck.

    I went to the Verizon store.  They said that they can not help it's problem of BB.  I called BB, they said, call Verizon, it's their problem.  If I try 3 more and not to mark, told me that my phone is wiped away as if I formatted a disk.  No, I don't have a backup on my laptop.  But I'll change that if this ever gets solved.  I may be stupid, but I'm not stupid.

    I get incoming calls - otherwise, I can't use my phone.

    I can't be the only one * beep * who never forgot a password and has been locked.  There must be a work around for this problem and see the or bypass the password.

    Anyone out there - help!  I don't want to have a very expensive paperweight.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Unfortunately, it isn't your problem carriers nor RIM. It's yours. One of the main characteristics of BBs is their security. And you have activated one of these distinctive signs. And there is no back door. There is no way to keep it, after that the 10th attempt, wiping her own failed. The only solution is to enter the correct password. Here's what to do. You probably know the right keys, you rely on when you created the password, right? But, do you know what key modifier performed (enabled or disabled, by the way). It is likely that, whatever the configuration control keys was in place when you created the password are not in place now. You must find this good configuration - alt, caps, something. Either on or off. Those who will change the character who sends the same key on your keyboard. You have to find what is right. There's no other way.

    Good luck!
