BlackBerry Smartphones power conservation implemented by querying the network?

Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the polling of the network or turn off data service while retaining the available telephone service? I had this issue for a while because my battery goes down very quickly when I am cycling in areas of fringe, but the recent blackout was even worse.

One or two other phones I've owned had a setting that reduces the frequency with which they would try to connect to the corporate network.  And it would be good to disable attempts to send or receive data when I know there will be a tower can be used within the range for a while. The only option I can find on my BB, however, is to enable or disable the radio. If the radio is off, so I have to manually search for the network.

My Blackberry is a Bold 9650 served by Verizon. It runs a version of the 6.0 operating system.

Thanks for any information!

Hello

BBs are designed as data-service devices, so there is really no parameters which allow control over the "polling interval". Instead, you must disable all the Services data, which will leave running telephone Services. To do so, within the management connections must be a selection for "Options Network Mobile", on which there will be a selection of 'Data Services'... change that to 'Off' will indeed stop all data services while leaving the active voice.

Note, however, that if by "polling interval", you think about it from a perspective of email service, and then BBs really don't work that way. BBs do not use an email client on the complete device 'ActiveSync', who would interrogate the device, for the mail server based on frequency configured. Rather, BBs use BIS, hosted at the carriers/RIM, who manages the Office of voting... the traffic to the BB is only generated when BIS actually finds something on the server that needs to be pushed to the BB. So, if this (e-mail) was your thought on this point, then it is probably something else which is draining your battery (unless, of course, you get a ton of e-mails during this period).

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to disable internet via the network, but leave the wi - fi on?

    Hi all

    I'm new to Blackberry but love until now.  I have a questionette for you to wizzo on something that left me speechless:

    My rate is not all internet at all (I'm only a poor pensioner!), but it seems that installation is there for me to use it if I do not pay attention if I want to turn it off permanently while installing wi - fi on.  This was possible on my android, but I gave to my wife because the screen is not too sensitive to my skin.  I got the Blackberry the the guy in the store where I bought it, but all he has done is disable data completely so now I can't use it on WiFi either.

    Can you tell me if this is possible and if so, how?

    Thanks in advance.

    As long as your data Services (under manage connections > Mobile Network Options) are lit, you will receive data via Wi - Fi.  When you turn on your Mobile network, you are turning ON the ability to receive calls and texts.  If you do not require these two features to be active (and therefore guarantee 100% that you use not any network data), then let your off Mobile network.  As you said, leaving the disabled Mobile network is similar to airplane mode.

    I hope that clears up any confusion.  Please post back if I'm not understanding something.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

    (1) registry HRT

    (2) remove and return Service directories

    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    (3) restart to take batt

    • 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your BIS configuration for these accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

    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 phone won't boot to the top

    I downloaded a few applications to Blackberry World on my night of phone. One was booster. When I tried to open it I got an error message saying something about Java, and after failed attempts to open it, I deleted it. The other was AP Reader. I just tried to open it for the first time this morning. When I clicked on it, the phone started to reboot. He took an unusually long time to restart, then I put down and came back some time later. When I picked up, he seemed to be in the off position. I tried to turn it back on but nothing happened. So I took the battery out and put back. The fire came, stayed on a minute or two, but instead of booting, the phone is off again. I tried to remove the SIM card as well as the battery and then replace both, but he got the same results. I can't even reset the phone to default settings because I can't seem to start. Help! What can I do?

    Sometimes you gotta try some variations... If you have tried only twice, you did not probably not enough variations. I remember a device where I had to wait for the touchscreen to become active, hold down the ESCAPE key for about 50% of the loading bar, release, then press and hold again close to 80% to 90%. A strange sequence, but it worked for me.

    If you don't want to keep trying, your only recourse will be more drastic... I hope you have a good backup, as it is unlikely that you will be able to get one now.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    In this case, I would recommend wiping the BlackBerry smartphone. To do this, we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone http://bit.ly/aSediX

    Once saved, please follow the link below to do a wipe of your BlackBerry smartphone security.

  • Backup BlackBerry Smartphones get BB protect compared to the clouds

    Hello world

    I tried the manual backup yesterday by the site Web de Blackberry Protect. I successfully backed up the first time and made a few changes on my BB Curve 9300. Freed from some space by deleting messages and other data. I also want to return to the top of that State or to this specific point, I did the backup through the site Web of Protect. To my surprise (and I'm not aware) the new backup crushed my previous where in I need important messages I deleted expects that the backup will just create another set of backup rather than crush the other.

    My question is. Are there opportunities that I can restore this backup?

    After a few searches on Google and read messages. I knew that the backup is saved in the cloud that has lost the chances of recovering data backup with recovery tools that I can use.  I thought that if I can retrieve/recover deleted files and even formatted disks, technical staff of BB Protect or RIM could do the same and help me with my problem.

    Hope my message reached the Cloud for RIM or BB Protect administrator.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    First of all... this site is not a channel for any official communication with, support, or climbing to the RIM. This site is a community of users for volunteers who are trying their best to help each other, but we have no access to any system "back-end" to act on your request. If you really need official support from RIM, you must start with your support contract required string that starts with your mobile service provider, which can degenerate case RIM free of charge to the end user if such is always appropriate.

    There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the original question, since you are not through the contract, you signed at the time of purchase. If you want to study, you can check it out here:

    OK... with that of the road, see:

    • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

    According to who, it should actually be different dates you can use BB Protect backups. If they are not, however, appear for one reason or another, they are not available to you through any means automatic... and you would need official support (above) of a human being to the RIM to see if it can be recovered.

    All this said, I hope that you are not solely on BB Protect for your backup needs. BB Protect only back up (I think) 8 databases, which is a small subset of all the content of all of your valuable data. FYI, here's the process that I always recommend:

    Daily - configure BB Protect to save what he can, preferring to WiFi if the network of consumer data carrier is a matter of concern.

    Weekly:

    If you're not up to BBM7, then manually save your BBM contacts to the memory of your device or Media Card

    There is an old saying:

    • There are two types of computers of users of devices - those who have lost data and those who will be

    As insurance, the backups are reactive or an optional activity. And this process, in my humble OPINION, provides the best protection of all the valuable data that is kept on their BB. When you compare BB Protect backup actually compared this process to protect, I think you will find that the difference is very large. In addition, this process would give you 100% control to keep the previous backups.
