BlackBerry Smartphones SMS contacts

• BlackBerry Smartphones SMS / Contact Info

  Hello eveybody.

  This is my first post and my first BB, I have the BB Bold 9700 with T - Mo. Here's my question:

  How to configure the BB to display the coordinates on the text message. Whenever I get a text message it shows just the phone number not the name, but when I connect to my home WiFi, the name to populate the text messages, but when I dissconnect the Wi - FI names disappear and phone numbers... I must have done something stupid when I was installing my contacts and or WI - FI

  And any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon

  Brad: happy smiley:

  Glad you found a way to fix this... and thanks for post it where others run the same question

  See you soon!

• BlackBerry Smartphones SMS full Notification - help please

  I'm at my wits end with my Blackberry Torch 9810.  I have very little text messages in my Inbox, I lost the lot for some reason my phone has decided to change some date & in the future and trying to resolve that, in my opinion, I wiped everything, do not know what I did a few weeks ago, but they disappeared.

  Now I get notifications that my SMS Inbox is full and I need to delete messages.  Can someone help me I have a lot of messages on the handset and cannot believe it is complete unless there is an option I need to select/deselect.  The user guide is useless.

  I changed a parameter in the past as text messages seem to be endangered if they were in a month or so old, but all that I did I can't and don't know how to handle all my text messages myself.  My old iphone allowed me to keep the text as long messages I wanted with what appeared to be a very large storage area, now I just want to throw this thing in the bin.  Unfortunately I have 18 months remaining on my contract (business) so I can do nothing about it.

  OK, not a lot of people very little. It is in memory of the device, but you are some of the SIM card, save too much.

  Then... you must change this setting according to the instructions below.

  Hi all

  I have the BB 8520 curve. Last week I bought 'Add Contact Pro' on Blackberry app World. After purchase and during the download I received an error and stopped the whole process. The app didn't download. I sent mail to the developer app three times but no response.

  Can someone help me on how to download again (I did purchase)?

  Thank you

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application.

  For legacy devices (pre-BB10):

  1. open the App World

  2. go to my world

  3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

  3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

  3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

  3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

  • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

  4 AppWorld must close.

  5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

  6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync). .

  If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

  For BB10 devices:

  • KB33818 Applications in BlackBerry World are stuck in a State facility and cannot be cancelled or removed from the download list

  After the empty Cache, then to re - install the app, please see this KB:

  • KB17625 How to install or transfer has already purchased apps from BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry smartphone

• BlackBerry Smartphones SMS TEXT HELP! (and bbm)

  My pearl cannot receive new texts.

  It only gets new e-mail...

  and unless I have register earlier texts (before this problem happened), all the rest are deleted...

  also, my bbm conversations had all been cleaned...

  I rebooted my phone from TONS of time... is there a way to reset the phone?

  It comes from occurring as you face constraints of memory in your device. The low memory manager (LMM) is activated automatically when the flash available on the BlackBerry smartphone memory decreases less than 400 KB. Flash memory is used to store such as Messages, calendar, Contacts, tasks, Notepad BlackBerry smartphone applications and third-party applications.

  Perform the following steps-

  1. Give a soft reset by removing the battery for 30 sec.
  2. Check the amount of memory is free in your device to Options -> status -> free memory. To view all aspects of database go to Option -> status -> click on the Menu button and then select the database size
  3. Remove the less frequently used application. To remove go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Applications -> highlight the application you want to delete-> click Menu , and then select Remove

• BlackBerry Smartphones SMS sounds

  Is there anyway to have a different SMS alerts or will be the same. I got a SMS number which shall be different from all the others.

  A newbie

  Welcme to Frums

  It's complicated for SMS ringtones, but possible. Follow the instructions here:

  This work around will allow you to receive specific alerts for e-mail and messages from specific senders:

  (Works with OS 4.2 and later)

  1. go to the profiles on your BlackBerry and create a custom profile, naming the name of your sender targeted.

  2. Edit and change the custom ringtones that you prefer for this contact message notifications, Messages of level 1, MMS, phone and SMS for this profile. You don't change things like the calendar, tasks, and Messenger alerts do not matter for individual users.

  3. once all your ringtone settings are defined for the new custom profile, save the changes. Now, you will be in your list of profiles and see your customized profile that there are listed with the standard.

  4. now click on the wheel, and then select new Exception.

  5. title except for what you want (would be smart to again name the name of this particular contact).

  6. in the line, click the trackball or trackwheel and select the user in your address book. They should show now in your line.

  7 scroll to the bottom and change the option use the active profile in your custom group newly created profile.

  8. you can dislodge the "Custom phone Tune" box if you already have a custom phone tune for this contact, or leave it and set it in the new custom as well profile.

  9 save the changes.

  Now once you have followed these for each SMS contact - click Save as indicated by the number nine.  Go back to your profile and click on normal or hard for the sound profile. Make sure that you have all of the exceptions already in your area of exception for those you did a SMS tone for. If you do, remove them so you your SMS does not work.  You can actually set your ringtones under each one that you set up as well. When you change your SMS sounds, you can click on the phone and change your ringtone to that specific one.  Hope you can understand this.

  Each of us will be more than happy to help you, let know us!

  Have a great day and good luck. Take advantage of your blackberry!

• BlackBerry smartphones download contacts

  Hi, I'm new to the world of blackberry - ask if there is a way to transfer all my contacts from my old nokia to my curve? Or I have to input each one - by - hard - one contact?

  Thank you in advance. S

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  Usually the seller (Vodaphone in this case) switch them when you buy the unit. I Sue this option first.

  If you use the same SIM which was in the Nokia try the following:

  If this does not work you can try using the Switch Device Wizard in the Desktop Manager software:

  You back up your device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software? If so, then you will use same Desktop Software to restore the backup.  See task 2, here: Article ID: KB03953 how to back up and restore data to a new BlackBerry smartphone

• BlackBerry Smartphones SMS Backup-able?

  Hello. I had a BB Bold 9650 for six weeks, and the 'o' key is out.  Verizon sent me a new free, but I have text messages that I really want to keep.  If I do a backup of my phone, which will exclude my texts or is it possible to save them for the transfer?

  I am open to any downloadable software, with which I can save my texts.  But I checked my options in the SMS section and the inside of the text itself, and there seems to be no way to save these texts is to the card by e-mail, the PC or the media.

  Would appreciate any input from anyone before I go ahead and switch phones.  I have maybe just live without "O" key and keep my existing phone.  Sounds crazy, I know, but I really want to save these.  There should be a way to save and transfer all back to the new, I hope.  Searched the web for two hours looking for it but no luck so far.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  If you are always two devices by hand, then you can use the switch device Wizard:

  • KB16291 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone

  Honestly I don't positive how specifically manages the SMS, but there are sections of your user manual that discussing it... You should also check here.

  Also, you can manually back up your SMS database, and then I guess that try to restore:

  How she'll do this please?

  Hello!

  If it is compatible, provided by RIM device switch Wizard will accomplish the task. You can read about it here:

  • KB05421 What is switch device Wizard
  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  If this isn't the case, then you must use whatever your other device provides and export the data to a CSV file. Then, you can use the RIM software to import in the BB:

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

• BlackBerry Smartphones copy contacts from Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl flip

  I need to move/copy contacts from my Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl, I already downloaded the bb desktop software... ideas pls?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

  • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
  • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

  In addition, you could (I think should) use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO). You must choose a compatible PIM of this KB. Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

• BlackBerry & Smartphones Photos Contact names ceased to show (9650)

  Hello:

  Earlier, I added photos contact to all my BBerry Contacts.  It worked perfectly for quite a while.

  But the last 2 weeks (or more), when I get a call I get no resources and no contact photo.  Just the number, which, if I don't recognize, I'm going to ignore.

  (The reason why I have the names and photos is so I don't have to memorize numbers.  )

  The contact photos are always in my contacts list, so nothing happened to them.  And ss as much as I know I haven't added new applications.  So I'm puzzled as to why they would suddenly stop showing when I get a call.

  Anyone know how I can make them work properly?

  I covered this Council and google for an answer and not found anything.  Thank you very much in advance...

  Hello

  I would recommend to check if you have encryption enabled on the BlackBerry smartphone or press card. Go to the Options-Security Options. If it is enabled, disable it and try again then take out the battery.

  Thank you

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Indeed, these IPD files are backups of your BB and are available as a source of food (they are a proprietary format and cannot be used for any other purpose, except by a few 3rd party applications that have been written to analyse). Choose the most recent one (the one with the most recent date and time, as displayed in the File Manager Windows) using this procedure:
