BlackBerry smartphones some typing help?

Hello world!

I am brand new to this forum and also to the storm! Just got my phone a few days previously and so far, am really happy with it! It will take me some time to go through all the useful info on this forum, so I apologize if this has been discussed before. My only problem with the phone is that I can't get the hang of typing with precision. I am familiar with the type safe (my last phone was the Pearl) and I don't like it. My problem is more a problem of accuracy. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to type quickly and accurately on the storm? DRM for suggestions!

When I started typing on the storm, I started using SureType and moved to the full QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode.  The accuracy comes essentially practical, but the problem is to place your finger so that the middle point of the finger is on the button.  If you type in landscape mode, use both hands and you will actually notice that the keyboard is divided in half.  Use your left thumb for the left side and use your right thumb to the right side - the keyboard is configured to retrieve the keys like that and you will have much more accurately than to try to type with one finger across the keyboard.  For the SureType keyboard, you have more flexibility because the keys are larger.

In any case, just keep typing with it and you will get much better.  I think it takes about a couple of weeks and then it's much easier to get the keys to the right.  As it is, I now type much more quickly using the full QWERTY keyboard, so I stopped using the SureType keyboard altogether.  I'm now good enough as fast a Texter like others with a real keyboard (or faster).

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    You said "hard reset", but I can't tell if you did exaclty or not... 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.

    In addition, you could try to start in safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode

    and delete the most recent thing (s) you have installed just before this problem started.

    After that, it's an OS Reload try... but we're going to stay on it for the moment.

    Good luck!
    Best!

    If you moved to BBM 7, then your BBM contacts are saved "the cloud" as part of your association ID BB to BBM.

    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
    4. If you stored your image in the memory of the device to move them to your media card

  • Frozen BlackBerry Smartphones after typing the password (). Help!

    Any ideas before making a hard reset?

    Last night, my Blackberry is not completely unblock after as I type my password. I type the right password and press ENTER, the password input section darkens (or it will stay on the "Enter Password" screen and seem to freeze). (If I type the wrong password it just invites me again, so I know I type the password). This is according to that multiple battery pulls.

    Sometimes, after you type the password, I can hold the blackberry button and it will bring to the top of the box that allows me to BBM, browser, homescreen, etc and I can "switch" to this program, but there is a sort of shadow frozen area enter the password on the app that never I going to and I can't use the keyboard or the trackball in these applications.

    This "box of jelly ' prevents me from using any application on my BB!

    I CAN receive calls. Barely. I can only make calls if I remove the battery and only unlock the phone and go to the option to purchase the place.

    I upgraded to OS 5 a week ago and until last night, things were fine. I hear my BB when it receives messages (work tones) or txt etc, but cannot read anything due to the lock!

    The only suspect is Google Talk, I have installed two days ago and seemed to be hogging resources and drain the battery, however the phone worked well for about a day with it on. Google Talk is perhaps run at startup and hang up things? I doubt it, but it is full disclosure.

    I also, pulled battery and removed the micro-sd card to see if it had an effect - unfortunately nothing helped.

    An analogy I can think of it is as if Windows Explorer is blocked, but everything else works.

    THOUGHTS?

    Try this:

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

    'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Try UNclicking the Google Talk application and remove the device and we'll see if that is the question.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.
    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate type of carrier and network, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.

    Hi guru,.
    Thank you for the answer. I followed the entire process, but none the case on all the links there is an option to send the password to reset BlackBerry ID to an external address is e-mail that is for example:-gmail account. I really need some request you please explain myself better.

    I think that you read correctly... re-read the Workaround"" section. He said nothing to do anything to your GMail account instead, you must follow the instructions, log into your BIS account (from a PC or your BB... it will be much easier to use a PC well) and activate the automatic redirection of your @bb to your Gmail account. Then return the password reset email, access your GMail account, and you should receive the email to reset it in order to finally use it to solve your problems.

    Please follow exactly the instructions and if you don't follow some sections, he cites exactly with what exactly you did and what exactly doesn't work correctly (point by point, please, with all the details). I can't explain that any better unless you are specific about exactly where/how you're stuck.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones have NEED HELP ASAP

    When I put my blackberry on the mass storage mode. A pop up on my blackberry according to ECEPTION EXCEPTION: JAVA. LANG. NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION... What does that mean? and how can I fix that so I can put music on my phone.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Whenever this kind of mistake happens, the best 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, this one suffers memory leaks and other... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    As for what the error means, well, it means that some events were held for which there is no stage of the program to deal with - as a result, an untrapped exception. It of kind of a 'out' final in programming code and says that something is inconsistent with the device with this hard restart being the best advice to fix (at least temporarily).

    Hope that helps!

  • A freezing Storm blackBerry smartphones... help!

    I'm a convert of Treo in the world of BlackBerry and I thought that the storm is the way to do it.  In any case, after getting the telephone, connected to my corporate email server and downloading some apps, I run on the problem where scrolling and tapping are just frustrating me no end!  For example, when you try to scroll through applications, it just freezes on me and won't do anything.  I can press 'End' and it brings back me to my home screen.  Then, I tried to get into the phone to call Verizon to see if I could get help.  hen tapping/press the 'Contacts' icon, nothing happens.  OK, press harder.  Still nada!  OK, so I'll just type the number manually.  I press the 1 and 5 rises.  I press the 1 and 5 another appears.  I try to change where I am pressing on in the hope that I can get a 1 appears on the screen.  Nothing!  I had 3 seconds to throw this thing out the window.  I know that the BlackBerry is far superior than the Palm Treo but I want to tell you, I was contemplating going back to Palm.  I don't want to give up and hope that there is someone out there who can help out me.  Thank you!!

    OK things more to check...

    How did you leave apps when you're done? If it's with the back or on the red button, then the app is unable to close properly. Always use the BBKey and "Close" or "Exit" to exit the application when you are finished. Only if you have a reason to keep it running, you must use another method to exit an application. If left to themselves, many apps will remain running, and just like a PC, more you ask him to do at the same time, him more bogged down it will receive.

    Something to watch - free memory of the App. Options > memory, check the free AppMemory immediately after a restart of batt-pop. Then watch an it... If he's dropping like a stone, then something is running for consumption.

    You can always check what apps are underway into the BBKey - he will always phone, home screen, BBMessenger, Messages and browser running... everything else is an application that has not closed. Be very frugal with allowing applications to stay running.

    You can also search the QuickPull... a version is free on the AppWorld. According to a schedule, it will be a reboot which is almost as good as a proper reboot batt-sweater. I have mine work every night at 1130 hours... longer, with the paid version (which I have), it will monitor the memory of the app and ask me if I want to restart when it reaches a set threshold.

    The thing we want to avoid is an OS reload... who is the most radical, and we need to reduce the other elements of first possible causation (IMHO).

    Give these things a try and report.

    See you soon!

  • BlackBerry smartphones some application only works with WiFi

    Hello everyone

    recently, I bought the torch 9800. There are some applications work only when I connect to the internet wireless such as facebook, app world, which is app. I tried a lot of different ways to solve this problem, but I couldn't.

    Can someone help me with this question. Appreciate your kind revert.

    Aloui, in the 'My business' section in your profile, you wrote "torch 9800". Who is your BlackBerry model, not your operator, your mobile operator.

    Do you have a data Plan BlackBerry enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?

    You have to, to get the push RIM email functions you are looking for, as well as services of BlackBerry data such as the Web browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger and much more.

    Then call your carrier and you learn about to have added to your account BlackBerry data Plan.

    Good luck.

  • BlackBerry smartphones needs DESPERATE HELP!

    My daughter for a year, got a hold of my phone today.  She erased ALL MY DATA.  Years of business information is gone!  My phone is locked and I expect she pushed too many buttons.

    It's not his fault, but he absolutely ruined my summer and will take months to will still collect some data.

    Anyone know of a way that the data can be restored once it has been deleted?

    Help!

    I'm sorry my friend as a Windows user, we do not have this problem. However, I remember when I used a Mac (they are awesome... sigh...), I need any Windows application, I ran under VMware Fusion. Which allows me to fill my BlackBerry to the virtual machine with Windows and by extension, the BlackBerry Desktop software.

    That said, if you are ever around him, consider buying (or if you happen to have a MSDN subscription, download.) Windows and install under merger (or if possible, in parallel. Make sure that it supports devices gateways directly to the virtual machine if. I've not used at the same time yet). Then you can use the backup and make sure this kind of thing does not happen!

    You can also consider to wait (well, you kind of have to now. The BlackBerry clear function does work quite well. I think it replaces the data too if I remember) until September, when the RIM has provided the release of Desktop for Mac software (link if you like: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/mac.jsp)

    I hope it works for you!

    Quick Note: you bloody sdgardne! Beat me to it! (I mean that in a kind of "friendly sarcasm" pass!) I don't want to seem like bastards forum that copy what someone else said and repeat it as their own, so just make Act)

  • BlackBerry smartphones * code Please HELP ANYONE * error 507 and new for BlackBerry!

    I bought my new Blackberry "BOLD", the Manager of office installed on my computer and Device Manager installed as well for the "BOLD" of 4.7.  When I plugged in my camera for the first time to fund manager began through a procedure and update the phone.  After a few minutes he said it was a mistake of some sort, that the backup was on the computer and use to fund manager transfer on the phone.  I opened the Desktop Manager, and does not recognize the phone.  Give me just a DTM vacuum with no connection and no option either.  Please someone help me, this causes a lot of stress for a new phone.

    Ok!!  I solved my problem (with the help of MANY people here or by phone).  I wanted to implement EXACTLY what I've done so that no one has yet this headache.

    This is for people who have some kind nuked Blackberrys or receipt error message 507.

    Step 1: My problem initially was the destop Manager (DM) and the operating system (OS) that I tried to download.  Two of them that I found online from blackberry.com and ATT.com.  They were correct, but for some reason versions DM messed up during installation.  It looked OK, but as I had no idea of what it was supposed to look like at, I knew not the wisest.  This is what it looked like to me:

    Step 2: If it happened to you, RE INSTALL THE DTM!, do not UNINSTALL.  When reinstalling, it will ask you if you want to modify, repair or remove.  Click on repair and move forward.  This will install the file that was missing, for me it was software.msi of blackberry desktop.

    Step 3: Now install the OS of your provider

    Step 4: Do not open the DM!  Instead, click on start > my computer.  Click local disk > Program files > common files > Research In Motion > Apploader.  Then search for the file named "loader", there must be an icon phone little next to the name.

    Step 5: this will launch the application loader.  Remove the battery on the back of the phone.  Now plug the phone DIRECTLY into the USB port.  Don't use hubs or anything like that and make sure that you use the BACK USB ports, those are made for mass information.  Then click in the apploader, it will say "UNKNOWN USB" that's fine, just after...

    You will get a screen of control everything you want to download, go ahead and take your things, some you can't.  and then click Next.  It will give you a list of all you send to the BB.  Hit next and sit, make sure the computer will not sleep or Hibernate or screensaver for this can interrupt the download!   I did this and for some reason any upload took forever and I kept getting this screen:

    Encountered unknown error [J:0 x 00000005]

    I had no idea what to do.  I went out and bought a USB cable for cameras and MP3 players.   It was Belkin and make sure its GREAT SPEED!  I came home after MANY attempts with my other USB cable (motorola razr) and plugged it up, done what above, and it worked in 10 minutes, rebooted and back to factory settings.  I am so relieved that I wanted to put this up immediately.  I hope this helps you all!
