BlackBerry Smartphones Switch Device Wizard necessary?

I have a Storm I used for a few weeks.  Previously I was using a curve, but my dog ate so I stopped using it.  I manually pulling non-synched as-of-then entries.  I have to do the switch device Wizard if it is not really all of the data that I need my old curve?  Also, if it's important, I have loaded companion link so I can sync with my ACT 6.0 contacts and calendar.  Will all this be screwed up if I just plug in the storm and hit Synch?  The Blackberry Desktop Manager cares which is hanging on to her - the old curve or the new storm?  I hate the idea of having to configure it again.  I can't wipe my Pocket Storm is referred to in the instructions somewhere since I have all my email, etc. in place.

You can choose to use the wizard to Switch device or not... me, I would because I want all my previous camera carried over to the new settings. That said, it is also worth noting that the storm will not many preferences that you used on the curve, so the SDW is not so important here - except for data, contacts, etc. on the old device.

Using ACT, you can simply do sync everything and get your data, as well as the responses only. You don't really have the SDW.

Finally, yes - Desktop Manager will see your storm for the storm it is. You don't need to say something special to DM.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones on device backup APP?

    I got my BB replaced the other day. I went to the Sprint store for a minor issue and the next thing you know I was getting a replacement phone. As a former Treo user, I was used to back up my Treo locally on the memory card is at least daily. Very necessary with a phone Palm. There was a problem with the implementation of the switch of the device and the store could not move my stuff. I brought my laptop and eventuall get things settled, but I really miss having a local backup. If I had had the same scenario of replacement with the Treo I would have run a backup right in the store and made a restoration in a minute or two on the new phone. Is there a reason any, that a local backup is not possible?

    I do run a switch device regularly and capture the switch file and store it on the SD card with a copy of the office but?

    There is a GREAT on the backup device application, called PhoneBakUp, which I use.

    I really like and it saves to your media card or an email that you specify for the backup files must be sent.

    It's a simple application of rescue in order to back up the address book, calendar, tasks and memos, nothing else is backup (no themes, applications, preferences.

  • Encryption of blackBerry Smartphones memory devices does not turn off

    I want to use blackberry protect but since I got my phone there a small lock next to the checkbox to disable encryption so I can't turn it off. I upraged to os7.1, but the problem remains. Can someone help me?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I'm not sure about the correlation between the encryption and the BB Protect... you jumped from one to another at whiplash speed in your post... do not understand.

    But, nevertheless, if encryption is active and locked, then the most likely answer is that your device has a COMPUTER Board policy that requires encryption is active. You can check the existence of a COMPUTER policy via this method:

    • KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    If you're on BES through your company or otherwise, you have to stop now and talk to your BES admins, because they are in control of it on your device policy.

    If you are not on BES, then somehow you got a device that once stood on BES, and who gave you sanitized it not properly before give you the device. You can now clean, but it will be totally destructive. Therefore, please begin by reviewing the Backup link in my sig auto on this post and make sure you have a full and complete backup.

    Once you have a backup, you can do this to clean your BB of the it policy:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    Subsequently, when you restore, DO NOT make a full restore... rather just do a selective restore of the databases you need (e.g., contacts, calendar, messages, etc.) and more precisely to avoid any database that have nothing to with COMPUTER policy, business, etc.. If you restore those, they will dutifully restore COMPUTER policy and you will be right back where you started.

    Good luck!

  • Message from blackBerry Smartphones: MTP Device Mode is enabled on

    I just did a hard reset (remove battery) on my Storm2 9550.  When it finished start, I started the Desktop software and connected the phone via the USB port.  I received the following message:

    This Blackberry device using a connection of the PSG.  Some features of media for your device mass storage mode, which interrupts all active media transfer protocol (MTP) connections.  You want to mass storage mode?

    I don't know exactly what that means or if I should answer 'Yes' or 'no '.  (I had a bit of luck you are looking for this particular online message).

    The BlackBerry Storm smartphone can connect to a computer in one of the following ways:

    • USB mass storage mode
    • Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)

    MTP allows a BlackBerry smartphone user transfer media files between a computer and a BlackBerry smartphone and provides support for multimedia files that have specific requirements, such as restrictions associated with the management of digital rights (DRM) technologies.

    A BlackBerry smartphone appears as a Portable device in my computer when connected to the computer using the PSG. It does not appear in the devices with removable storage section and has not assigned a drive letter.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones several devices at the same time?

    I bought a really cool together Motorola HT820 wireless earpiece that works like stereo

    helmet and a bluetooth phone.  I just bought another game and can use the headphone jack and the splitter

    to listen my songs from my storm blackberry on the two headsets.  I wish if I could understand how

    for the two atria connected wirelessly in listen-only mode.  I can turn on and synchronize a device, and then turn to

    on the phone, and the other game recognizes and pray okay to connect, but when you say OK, the first device

    takes precidence.  I didn't need to have two sets with two-way communication as in telephone mode, but

    like, my wife and I to be able to listen to wireless.  All hope?

    Thank you

    Andrewm

    While I'm not 100% certain, I believe that most bluetooth devices can accept only one connection at a time, especially with the same type of device.  I know that my laptop can accept multiple connections as long as each unit is separate (although I've never matched two of the devices themselves) but I was never able to get a phone to manage more than one helmet, or more than one laptop at a time.

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones! device password does not.

    I went into options and turned off my device password. Afterword, I turned off my phone, took out the battery and restart the phone. When the phone restarts, he said still device is locked. I select unlock and it says: 'Enter 'blackberry' to continue.' so I type blackberry and it takes me to the next screen, which is the usual password screen. I tried the password that I disabled it and the att password set in place. neither work. I'm on my last attempt or all will be earsed. I have no idea what is the password and I need my files. can someone help me please?

    There is simply nothing that can be done other than for you to enter the password. It would be that YOU assign to lock the device, not an ATT password.

    There's no other choice. Password for BlackBerry security is impenetrable and there is no way around it.

    I hope that you have a recent backup of your device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Radio device turn off? T.T

    Hello. I just bought my blackberry phone and I want to download app world! I am facing a problem called radio turn off device? I do not understand what am I supposed to do. Please help me!

    Blackberry app world is accessible via the server of your service provider's blackberry so that you cannot be used outside of a data plan. There are apps from third party like Whatsapp, Google Maps that you can download from the browser.

    To access internet using data for navigation charges and your network provider downloads follow these steps:

    Go to the Options - Advanced Options - browser - configuration of the default browser change to your provider e.g. vodafone, you can also open the WAP written icon.

    If you are in a place where BIS is available I suggest you get a plan costing about US$ 8 as using packets of data will cost much, BRI is paid for once every month and not by its use in most cases. We hope that you respond.
