• Choice of colours of blackBerry Smartphones Roller Ball

  I saw a thing you can buy and download through Handango... it is supposed to allow you to choose a color for your ball thing.  Anyone know if this is legitimate?  Looks like it would be an option by phone.

  There is no software to change the color of the trackball on the Curve series - ONLY for the 8100 model, which has color LED in the material. Other models are not.

• 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

• BlackBerry smartphone Bold 9900 questions - address book, BBM, and App World

  I have problems with my Bold 9900.  My phone is less than a year and now I can't open my address book.  The phone freezes and I have to take out the battery to restart.  At the same time, my BBM and App World leave works as well.  I can't access an application.

  I tried to restore the operating system with no luck.

  Any other suggestions?

  Exactly as you wrote, there is no such capacity... you can "restore" data, but you can only "recharge" your operating system... so, I would recommend that you attempt to reload your OS and perhaps update. Here are a few tips.

  At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for many models. If they understand your model, please use those as a reference as you go along. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the download portal official for packages of OS for your model:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...

  Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
  • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

  Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

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

  You can also try this procedure might limit the specific causal element:

  1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
  2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
  3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
  4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
  5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

  When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

  If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

  If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

  If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

• BlackBerry smartphones a few questions... Sorry so many questions...

  Hello. I just got my BB a week ago so I have a few questions. I've traveled the previous pages to see if my questions were already asked, but I didn't see it (at least not with the first 6 pages) so sorry if this is a repeat.

  1. If you add a song to your BlackBerry, as in iTunes list, can you use that as a ringtone too? Or not because he was transferred in a song and not a ringtone by itself?

  2. is there a way to watch videos online? From YouTube or other sites that require Flash?

  3. I currently have my left convenience as the phone lock, requiring a password to unlock it (not just the #* or whatever the generic unlock code). However, my phone is locked automatically after 1 hour (it's long, I could put it). Is there a way to disable the fact it locks automatically after 1 hour, but still have the password how to unlock my phone?

  4. is there a way to disable the key tones when dialing a number? Even when I'm on silent or vibrate, whenever I have to dial a number, the numbers still make noise.

  5. If you accidentally delete a text, is it possible to get it back? My old phone had the ability to browse the deleted texts.

  I think that's it... Thanks so much in advance!

  Hi and welcome to the forums,

  lets take one at a time:

  (1) you can use a song as a ringtone, go to music media, select the key to success menu song and choose set as ringtone.

  The song will not play like a ringtome just 4or 5 seconds of it.

  2) there are 3rd party apps that will allow you to which SOME videos, it depends on the format. I need to find the

  an I know, just do not remember the name right now

  (3) it is not an option to disable the timeout of security if you are using the password, type of sense if you think about it. I got mine because I'm on and outside it frequently the value for an hour. But I always manually lock it when I leave.

  (4) No, the keytones stay on, even in vibrate mode.

  (5) I have to watch this

  So I owe you a link and a response to 5.

  Please let me know if others answer your questions, and I will return with more information.

  Thank you

• Hardware blackBerry Smartphones Dumb newbie question! :)

  Hi people,

  I'm new in the world of the blackberry and I'm about to take the plunge with a unlocked sim-free BB Bold to use in the United Kingdom on Vodafone. I read on the differences of software between BIS and BES and would go for a set - up BIS. My dumb newbie question is equipment arrives in version BES or BIS or not?

  Thanks in advance and do not hesitate to make fun of my madness

  Good answer Xandrex. However I'm still not clear as to the issue of equipment, I asked. The reason why I am wanting to buy "BOLD" a separate contract is.

  1. it will work a little cheaper over the life of a contract.

  2. I will get my "BOLD" much faster.

  3 UK networks have a reputation for crippling features in high-end etc phones then charge you more to get similar functionality via one of their services.

  4. they are very slow to provide updates of the firmware on their own brand of appliances.

  There was a little insinuation in my answer: basically, you buy a mobile phone, so you get a BIS/BES contract with a carrier who takes in charge that the mobile phone. A "BOLD" can be used like BIS or BES, it depends on the company.

  On the price, I'm sure the phone deal + contract is always cheaper than a "BOLD" (retail and not eBay from some guys) then a contract which is usable (that is, no GoDaddy or 0.01GBP / KB).

  for the speed, you are the one who knows.

  The thing of the cripping: the thing is, the updates are provided only by the suppliers (they get a barebone RIM OS, then add their stuff like facebook or AOL). Even if you buy a single "BOLD" without a contract, if you want to upgrade the regular way, you wait fot your carrier to publish the upgrade. Or you can do the regularly (which can be made with or without the purchase contract at the same time).

• BlackBerry smartphone app update questions / BB curve 9360 Apollo

  Hello, Im new to this forum and Id like some help with my new BB

  Here's the thing, I'd like updating my OS to a version more recent version is 7.0 Bundle 1680 (v7.0.0.353) and
  When I try to update BB desktop app, it's say there isn't any new available worm.

  So I see there are diff version available, but I'm not sure to install for example BONES (v7.1.0.912) T-mobile, OS of Bluegrass Cellular and O2 UK 7.1.0.861 release 7.1.0.821 (Bundle 2301)

  What is the best for my phone?

  And my phone is unlocked, I need to unlock it again if I update the OS?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

  1) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

  (2) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:BBsoftwareesktopSoftware & Cal = us: bbsoftware

  (3) download and install to your PC, the BB OS package you want:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
  • It does not matter which carrier... the best normal advice is to choose the most recent, you can find (as pointed out the OS level bytes - 7.1.0.912's latest que.861, which is even more recent que.821.

  4) remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
  • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

  (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

  Do not forget to save.

  If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

  And my phone is unlocked, I need to unlock it again if I update the OS?

  Nope... once a device is unlocked to the carrier, only the plant BB can (legally) re - lock.

• BlackBerry Smartphones has the question about GPS

  I have a BB 8800 device. It is connected to a mobile phone service provider that does not support BES or BIS. In other words, I use this device as a mobile phone.

  When I open Options-> Advanced Options-GPS and run the menu: "Refresh" GPS "didn't get no information from GPS (inside and outside).

  There are zeros in Latitude and Longitude.

  My question is: the GPS on BB8800 depends on mobile provider and my data plan?

  I understand that to display the cards that I have at least GPRS-internet service enabled to access and download blackberry maps.

  But I don't get any results when I simply run the GPS Options and launch refresh GPS info.

  Could you please explain. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if the GPS works at all the or not depends on whether the carrier allows him. But even if they do, it can be quite risky. I have Verizon in the United States and subscribe to the GPS service. I think it's pretty good - when it works. The biggest problem is that every four or five days about it does connect to GPS in the service of Verizon GPS signals, nothing else that the error messages "can not connect", and I do the reset drill "remove the battery and let it sit for a very long time" in order to resume service. Oddly, it's going to walk very well on Google Maps in this condition, but not on the traditional GPS. Would like to know the cause, since it seems that I am still an urgent need for GPS when he chooses to do not. Four or five days everything works well, then I'm in a strange city and the need to go from the airport to the hotel - and it won't work, so I find myself in some of Mall parking lot looking at my phone and the battery if displayed on the seat next to me, waiting for some kind of magic back to happen. The good news is that the reset still seem to work. The bad news is that I thought there is no alternative to lose 20 minutes to get a good discount to zero. I'm probably two resets far from cancelling the GPS service, it's just unpredictable as to when it's going to fail. Google Maps is not really very accurate in showing you where you are, but it has its uses. We are house hunting and I find that using Google Maps, while we are looking at a beautiful House we prevented them from making a few mistakes - found some really nasty industrial plants just across a line of trees, for example. I also use it to find restaurants that are pretty close to my hotel (so the total precision is not serious) of the Decree.

• BlackBerry smartphones send your questions from a novice

  I just got my curve 8320.  I have BES and also an internet email on blackberry account.  I have 2 questions:

  1. is there a way to keep the 2 accounts of integration.  I like to keep my personal emails separated by business email

  2. I would like to have the choice to delete my internet email from only the blackberry or the server of my ISP.

  I was flipping around this thing for 2 days to understand these.  Anyone has any ideas.

  Oh one more thing.  How do you know when you need a memory card, and the blackberry can support micro SDHC?

  1. Yes, with empower BES Email Inbox. Google it. It will go your BES mail to its own folder.

  2. messages > Options > Email reconciliation > delete = set as desired for each e-mail address on the device.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Lag/delay question! Video inside! -8120

  BlackBerry 8120 (os v4.3.0.115)

  T mobile

  Question trolling... Majority of deleted preloaded programs.

  64 MB (100% free) mmc)

  5 core (removed bbm) running programs

  Don't lag in any other program or anything like that, just get out of the State of the "lock". A few seconds of lag when it locked, unlocked. It's pretty boring and you want this problem solved. I just got the phone earlier today and want if it has set up for my taste.

  -pull the battery, all of the pocket with option built-in, deleted all the photos and Articles of mm, freed from the memory card, have the minimum amount of running programs. don't know what else to do. did my research... nothing helps. Edit: also have 20 MB free on the phone. -.

• BlackBerry Smartphones a few questions a new user

  I receive a Blackberry Curve 8300 for work using the Alltel network. I still use a BB, but I have to learn pretty quickly if I can help around our offices.

  I have a few questions

  1. each BB has wifi capabilities? Specifically the 8300? Specify this BlackBerry.com or alltel.com.

  2. can I change the layout of the buttons? I'd rather have all the buttons on the bottom of the screen instead of the side.

  3. it comes preloaded with a sort of mobile office applications? Outlook, word, etc. Or does with a BlackBerry version?

  4. What is the best app to sync with my PC to day/change settings/programs?

  Thank you!

• BlackBerry smartphones another little question from a novice on windows authentication

  Hi, I posted a question a few weeks ago, to summarize, I recently dumped my treo for the new storm.  I enjoy them until now, but I have a question to get connected to a windows site.

  I use logmein for mobile access, (www.logmein.com), it's like gotomypc, but free and I used to be able to log in with my treo smartphone, but I'm having a problem on my BB.  I spend all the stuff (on the site of logmein) html Web page and get to the point where I have to put the password for the computer that I'm remote'ing.  The phone's browser has "Windows authentication" in the upper part, followed by three text fields, username, PW and domain.  I don't have a domain, but when I entered the username and password, I can't select the "login" link just in the middle of the page at the bottom. "

  I tried everything, he can't know.  Also, on this screen, zoom and other "typical" controls are not available, as the keyboard and a few other navigation options (none is "next" or "enter")...  Oh, and another thing, when I click on the screen where the "login" link is, it locks the keyboard back to the top and sometimes wipes all the text on the fields?...

  Thanks in advance...

  Thanks for the help, it turns out looking as if it was a problem on the side of the House Logmein.com...

• BlackBerry Smartphones has simple question on volume of phone ringing.

  I am grateful for this forum because even simple questions like the following are difficult to obtain responded by Blackberry.  Seizing the issue in the 'Help' section on my handheld gives always nothing.  It seems that a large company like RIM would understand more in their user manuals.  Anyway, enough ranting... Here's the question:

  Quite simply, how can I increase the volume of the ringer on the phone?  By pushing the volume button for a call that increase the volume of calls.  Pushing not courts of appeal does nothing.  I'm sure that there is a way to do it, but I'm coming emptyhanded.

  Thank once again the community here as a whole for the excellent work which is made to help other Blackberry users.

• BlackBerry Smartphone Voice Recorder question

  I looked through previous posts and see nothing about it, I hope I didn't miss it.

  My question is: is it possible to continue to record a voice note while the phone is closed. I tried and do not understand whether it is possible or not. I would like to be able to use the BB as an audio recorder / voice and power close the phone and put it in my pocket or desk and he have not yet opened. Is there a way to continue to record, or an app for that?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Hello jmlentz,

  Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums

  There is no setting to enable the voice recording with the unit closed at this time.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Forget the question of password and security for Blackberry Id

  I try to use my Blackberry Id and I realize that I forgot my password question and security.

  I can't find a solution, I have to do?

  Read this to get instructions to reset your password BlackBerryID:

  KB26361 How to reset a BlackBerry ID password

  *****
  It must be remembered the BlackBerryID password or secret answer to the question. Without either, you're stuck.
  Your choice is:
  -Use a different e-mail account to create a new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to all apps purchased using the 'forgotten' first BlackBerryID, or)
  -Find the initial email you have been sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID and there are a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on this, delete the account and then you can use that same e-mail to create a new account.
  Good luck.
