BlackBerry Smartphones touch Playbook

My Playbook is on but the screen is completely blank, as in black. Anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc. ? Screen screen settings are screwed up or should I start looking for someone to fix it?

Press in and hold the POWER, high and low keys volume - all three at the same time for about 10-15 seconds. This should initiate a reboot of the device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones two Playbooks

    After trying to find the answer... I hope someone can help.  We are now a family playbook two, and I can't seem to share the same apps.  I found (impossible to find again) a response from the forum that you create the same ID of PB on the second playbook... up to 6 can be shared... and when I try to change the second playbook to my other ID playbook, said "cannot use it, already in use"... so it's not the answer. ".  Can someone guide me on how to share the same apps in the same family... Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    It would be interesting that you could quote the authority who said that a BB ID could share up to 6 PBs. I understand that a BB ID can have a maximum of only 2 devices - a BB and a PB only... not sharing the way you want. Here are a few references I found:

    • KB28543 Expectations when you use the same BlackBerry ID on multiple devices

    The result that you really should see, when you try to use the same ID on the 2nd device, is not as you said, but it should rather tell you that if you continue, it will move the assignment of the unit on the BB ID of the previous PB than that currently being recorded. Here again, in the docs, so I can find, all he says is that sharing the BB ID is not recommended... in fact it does not it will not work (at least not so far in that I can find).

    Regarding the sharing of actual purchased... applications it is perhaps far too problematic. Software is still through the license and the system somehow AW would have followed what device what the apps installed, just in case where the software is licensed specifically to a device and the developer of the app did not no matter what sharing as you have raised. I understand that the reason for the rule of a single device is to prevent violating the licenses of app that would allow the application to be used only on one device and not share.

    I'm pretty sure wrong... but so far I can't find anything to back up what you say, what allows 6 PBs to be entered to a BB ID apps and share. Maybe another user can have better information sources.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphone touch sensitive screen

    I would like to know how I can fix my screen is too sensitive. When I get a call and my ear touches the screen of my phone is cut off, please help. I tried the phone settings, but its doesn't help not. How can I turn off the screen during calls

    You cannot adjust the sensitivity, but the BlackBerry should recognize, you're online and don't let not your face put mute calls, etc. Happens to me sometimes.

    You might want to try a third party like TalkLock application or such. Check the AppWorld.

  • BlackBerry smartphone touch screen does not work, 2 phone... Torch = junk

    It's my 2nd my first Torch torch touch work stoppeed and ATT sent me another...

    Now this torch touchscreen stopped working, so far, I did a reboot hard and soft...

    now I can do a factory reset or downgrade...

    IM starting to think that the torch is undesirable.

    Well, I talked to ATT tech support and I actually finally got through to BB and they open a case and gave me a number of good ticket for 3 days...  The first tech support was a dunce and she told me that 7 hours was taken long to upgrade software, so she told me to unplug and re install...  That solves nothing, only bricked my torch, even though she was right about one thing 7 hours is far too long, but it does not solve anything...

    then I recalled in support of BB using my ticket number... and here I actually spoke to somebody who knew what he was doing...  We connected through desktop remotely, and he guided me...

    He told me to never update device software when the software asks you to update...  I told him, I was getting a white screen and it says App Error 200...  He told me that we have a clean wipe and install everything new facility...  He has directed to the site from ATT and I DL the latest peripherique.246 software...  Then after it DL'ed I installed;...

    then he had me to connect the device again AND GO INTO PROGRAMS CAN record B\LACKBERRY

    then find charger, here, he had me select the apps I would like to, and then click Next...

    then after 5 minutes it finished loading, he then told me to wait another 10 minutes for the device to reboot and then my torch works!

    If anybodys touchscreen doesn't work more or torch is made of bricks, I highly recommend doing this procedure...

    I called BB again and had them send me an email for accurate insrucions, so I recorded in case this happens again... Here it is...  Keep in mind first you need access to the ATT site will link you to the site Web de Blackberry and then DL file then open and install and do the following...

    Check that the device client software is installed on their computer, or it won't work.
     
    1. click on the start menu
    2. go in my computer
    3. go in: C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/Apploader
    -If its 64-bit windows, it will be C:/Program Files(x86) /Common Files/Research in Motion/Apploader
    4. double-click on "loader.exe" (it may be called "loader" according to windows settings)
    5. a window opens saying "welcome in the application loader wizard." Click next
    6 next, where it is written 'Connection' to ensure that either "USB - PIN:" or "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN" appear. ""
    7. click on next. It take a while to connect to the device and then view the Application selection screen.
    -L'application selection screen will be a list of application control.
    -Items that are checked will be installed, if they do not already exist on the device.
    -Items that are not checked will not install, and if they already exist on the device they will be deleted.
    8. ask the customer to scroll through this list and check all applications they know they would like on their blackberry.
    9. once everything looks good, click Next.
    10. click on the Advanced button.
    11. make sure that 'remove all previously installed applications' and "Delete all application data" is checked.
    12. click Next.
    13. If loader.exe asks you if you want to automatically back up and restore data, select "do not automatically backup and restore."
    14. click Next and then finish
    15 advise the customer that this process can take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes, and everything they do during this time is to ensure that the blackberry is connected. The first time that their blackberry starts after this process, it will stay on the screen of the hourglass for about 10 minutes, nothing to worry about.
     
    Once the client can see the home screen of their blackberry, they're OK disconnect.

    The customer will have to re - turn on their radio, they can do so by going to manage connections > select Mobile network

  • BlackBerry Smartphones download Playbook Destop manager 6.1.0.B38 but 6.1.0.36 installs?

    I don't understand this.  Something is really strange here.  I download the latest version of PC - Desktop Manager the Blackberry Playbook, which is Version 6.1.0.B38 and it is the name of the zip file download.  But the version that installs version 6.1.0.36.  As I watch it install, for a fraction of a second I see the correct version is the installation because there is more visible features, but right now, he goes back down to the latest version.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled severl times now and restarted in-between, so I have no idea what is happening.  I might have a virus?  All that happens, I can always synchronize the Tablet and try a backup but it stops always saying simply that he had a problem filling back up.  If it fails!  I'm thining virus, what about you?

    Hello Ripley2010,

    You have the right version installed BlackBerry® Desktop Software 6.1.0.36, if you go in on BlackBerry® Desktop Software see you well communicated (Bundle 38) November 7, 2011.

    I hope this clarifies it for you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones touch restoration

    Hi, I backed up my Blackberry 9700 using the Office Manager for PC and also saved on Blackberry Protect... Now I need urgently a contact but I do not have a Blackbery here... Any ideas on how I could get the contacts list? Thanks in advance

    If you do not have the BlackBerry handheld device, there are two options for extraction and display of data from backup files.

    1. the RPI Parse macro is designed to read a Blackberry IPD file and create reports in MSWord or MSExcel format. It's free, and you can find more details here: https://sites.google.com/site/ipdparse/home
    . BBB backup files, use this macro to extract seven files 'primary' RPI (address book, calendar, SMS Messages, tasks, notes, pine Messages and phone call logs)
    IPD bbb extracted macro https://sites.google.com/site/ipdbbbextract
    These files IPD subsequently usable as inputs of the other macro, IPD Parse, to produce reports.

    2. an other options is MagicBerry MenaStep... that extracts a BBB file or backup IPD files IPD, etc http://menastep.com/pages/magicberry.php split

    3 another IPD and BBB file utility is BlackBerry Backup Extractor and is available for PC and Mac and can be found here: http://www.blackberryconverter.com/ there is a free and paid version.

    On safe mode, check if you have had the same problem with the touch screen as before. If it works, then you had to remove any recently installed 3rd party application or undo these changes.

    If the problem persists then you should also consider a reload of the OS, any software problem can be fixed by reloading.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.

    Good luck and let us know!

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you need to get in touch with your service provider and insist that they honor the formal support that they are contractually required to provide you with. Do not let you fob before having 100% solved the situation. If they tell you to contact RIM, don't let them not on the hook, then either... insist that they tell you exactly how you should contact RIM. If they say anything OTHER that they will increase you rim (for example, if they tell you to independently seek the support of the RIM), and then accept it. Only through an escalation of your service provider can you receive all official support from RIM.

    Looks like they have made significant changes to their network... and they must ensure that their paying customers will continue to receive the services that they pay.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? I have a BB 8520 curve

    Thank you much for the help

    Hello

    For security reasons, password reset emails never reach the BB itself. So, you need to separate access to this email account to receive and treat the password reset.

    If you used the e-mail account is also available (for example, GMail, Yahoo, etc.), and then simply use a browser/PC and their webmail interface.

    If the email account you used is only accessible through the BB (hosted @carrier, @bb, etc.), then you need to apply a rule to redirect on that account so that you can receive email elsewhere (for example, GMail, Yahoo, etc.):

    • KB28232 Reset blackBerry ID e-mail are not delivered to the mailbox associated with
    • KB28111 Impossible to reset the BlackBerry ID password when using a hosted BlackBerry email address

    If you really have no way to access this email account, or if the e-mail account has been deleted, then you are stuck... and must make a decision...

    If you have no AppWorld or other files that you need to keep (for example, buy folders for the applications), then simply drop the BB ID and create a new. To do so, however, requires a device WIPE:

    • Be sure to check the link in my sig auto on this post... you need to be sure you have a good local backup on a computer
    • KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet

    If you do not have AppWorld documents that you need to keep, then you need human intervention. To receive, you must ring to the top of your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. In addition, you must convince BlackBerry you with a solution - which probably will be reset your current BB ID so that you can access it again or you will need to create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase to the wire records. Note that I don't know if they will be willing to do, but there is no other way I know of to keep your purchase records BBID/AppWorld prerequisites.
