BlackBerry Smartphones third rate Software

While I'm very happy with my new curve, I must express my astonishment when executing bad quality of the transfer media provided by RIM software.

First of all, the Roxio software is buggy as they come. The upgrade to v. 4.5 (software is not even warn you - you are required to "check in" from time to time, what freeware even not asking you) has solved some of the problems - like errors than every six seconds, for example, or gel to the top of the selection of files to monitor.

Roxio interface is so 1992 - however, he likes to scroll to the bottom of each list of media by itself.  Frustrating. Taxi from Rio was more advanced than this reflection afterwards. It is also slower than molasses on a cold day. You think that you are using a 100 MHz Cyrix chip.

But wait. There is more! We now have Blackberry Media Sync. It has a selection to add "recently added files. Dazs, the software does not tell you what is "recent" so it adds the same files over and over again.

The two systems have no way to block the addition of files that are already on your phone. If frequent clean ups of dupicated are of the order of the day

Give me a break. It's really the stuff of bush league that never should have been released.

Problem solved!

Just for the heck of it, I was running Microsoft Windows Media 10, and I plugged my curve. This time, WM acknowledged the SD card in the phone. I tried dragging my files of music and podcasts in the Sync column and son of a gun, it worked! Transfer speeds are awfully quick too, with this SanDisk 8 GB mini card I got from Amazon for $28.00 (can you imagine? 8 Gig for this price!)

In any case, even if it is fashionable to dump Microsoft, the WM interface works easily and efficiently, not only with the transfers, but with the update, collection and organizes the content of files everywhere in your computer, be it sofware of Podcast dedicated like juice, but also with ITunes, which I use more often these days and collected on EMusic , download Amazon and Napster.The choice given by RIM just had me wanting to throw the cat. I'm glad it works.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GetItBack convenience software download

    I paid and you just download the GetItBack on my Blackberry. I tested by creating a false 'lost' scenario and I was surprised by the news that I could retrieve such as location and contacts. He knows everything... Now on the servers of convenience software is this info, secure? Who else then me can I have access to? What other information the download can recover my BB?

    My fear is the chance of possible privacy / security breach by the ability to download to access sensitive information, such as the password keeper. Can mitigate them my fears?

    Any reference to this problem of a third party, preferable to RIM?

    With respect to the password manager, you should have no worries.  The holder of the password database is encrypted and as you know, requires a password to access.  Essentially, if someone knows your password Keeper password, they could access, otherwise it's quite sure.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Desktop Software 7.0 update will not synchronize contacts from Yahoo!

    I have a Curve 8520 and I use Yahoo! for my email and contacts.  I've updated my office doftware version 7.0.0.59 and I can no longer sync my contacts.  The only sources offered by the drop-down menu are Outlook and Windows.  Can I downgrade my Desktop Software to an earlier version (including ded recognize Yahoo!)?  Or is there another solution?

    Hello again,

    I finally got a solution to the original problem.  On the BB, I deleted my Yahoo! e-mail account and he added once again.  I found myself with a lot of duplicate contacts, both Yahoo!, but I managed to delete the group that claimed to have a wireless sync, and the other game seems to be OK.  So problem solved (I think).

    With respect to the slow loading of Web pages, this has always been a problem.  It is less a problem when I'm very close to my Virgin Media hub.  I have used other smartphones non - BB, which are much faster.  And my daughter Iphone is loads faster (but then it's more than double the price).  So I was wondering if all BB is slow, or just my model (Curve 8520).  I can understand if it's just this model, like Virgin had many £ 8520's to 10 per month about 20 months ago.  But if they are all the same, I'll go for something different when ends my 2 year contract.

  • BlackBerry smartphones what desktop software to download? (lost my disc :()

    I have a Curve 8310 and am trying to DL Office on a new computer, but I lost my original disc. I know it's a stupid question, but I can't really know what software to download!

    my phone is 8310, always running v 4.2.2.170 (updates which even today, if I can DL the desktop software, not sure what to do first!)

    and the version number is followed by "Platform 2.5.0.30.

    Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    The device OS version is normally irrelevant at the time to choose a version of the desktop software - although I usually like to use a DTM version that is at least as recent as the device OS version. The main factor for the choice of a DTM version is based on the integration of the Organizer you want. If you want to sync to your desktop PIM, you must use a DTM version that is compatible with this PIM. See this KB:

    • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

    Your choice next is language - or only in English or multilingual.

    Your next choice is Media Manager or not.

    Once you have made these choices, you can refine the exact file to download. On the download page of choice, there are a lot of other selections... These are all USB driver-packages only, in several languages. You can ignore those that the full package of DTM includes all the drivers you need.

    In case you haven't, here's the RIM for DTM download page:

    Edit - oh, and don't forget your device from your carrier OS package. You that install on your PC as well at the top of DTM and changes DTM to be customized to your BB on your support with your device operating system level - so that he can present appropriate recommendations. You can find your carriers download page through this Portal:

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones Change Device Software

    Hiya. I bought a Blackberry 8830 to online auctions. It came with software version 4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59). I am with Telstra (Australia) and the software version of Telstra I downloaded from the Blackberry site, to get the applications specific to Telstra, is the 4.5.0.75 version and the Platform 2.7.0.66, which seems to be the latest version.

    (the file name is 8800EASTASIA_PBR4.5.0REL75PL2.7.0.66_A4.5.0.52TELSTRA.exe).

    My phone will not be upgraded to this and I guess because it is a downgrade. Any ideas anyone?

    See you soon

    Doug.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Well, since you're on 4.5.0.186, and you want to install is 4.5.0.75, which in fact would be a downgrade. But... when I look at the download of Telstra (via this portal) site, I can't even find their offering a bundle of BONES for a 8830... only a 8800, should not work at all. Maybe it's actually the reason why you can not install it... because it is not compatible with your 8830.

    Hope that helps!
