BlackBerry Smartphones two strange issues storm

I have two problems with my Storm:
1. all my contacts on the phone have been replaced by more than 100 copies of the same contact, my own card. On my exchange server, all my contacts are registered correctly. When I try to delete these messages, nothing happens.

2. when I turn on the phone, I get this message: "untrapped Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones two questions / issues for BB curve

    I got my BB curve for two days. My provider said I'd be able to use BACKUP ASSISTANT to transfer my contacts from my old phone to my BB. I have discovered this was not true.

    (1) is it possible to manually enter the contacts on a PC and then transfer them to the BB? (I can type much faster on my laptop than on my BB)

    (2) as - I installed a micro SD. received a message that the card contains errors. Any way to re - format the card while installed in the BB or must it be checked and formatted outside the device.

    You can format the card by clicking on options then on memory card. Click the menu key then format the card. I hope this helps.

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones / Device Manager issue

    Hey guys, I have a problem.

    I recently acquired a Blackberry 8330 and let me start by saying this: it's one of the best machines I've ever held. It is simply amazing.

    I installed the Device Manager and have been using it without any problem. Then, I went and did an update wireless with my phone, the upgrade of the OS. Since I did this, however, the Manager has recently stopped recognizing my device - my computer recognizes him again, as he charges when it is plugged in and I can always access to the hard drive, but for some reason, I cannot use the Device Manager to do anything - down, States in the Device Manager there is no trendy Black Berry as shown by the 'None' exposed next to the Pin number.

    What can I do? I really need to access blackberry via the Device Manager. Someone, please help > _

    Things I've tried:

    -Restart the Blackberry (both by pressing the red button and pull the battery and re insert)

    -Update the device to the more recent version Manager

    -The latest version is uninstalled, then download and install the version provided with the blackberry (4.2)

    I noticed that the CD that came with the device itself does not contain the most recent edition of the Device Manager, if that means anything. It's just weird that the Device Manager has stopped working after I upgraded. Currently, my OS is V4.5.0.175. I've recently updated both my 8310 Black Berry - same question parents. Before, I could access it via Device Manager. Now, I can't. Please help me!

  • Moving Eclipse 3.4-> 3.5, two strange issues - lack of generator for java, Midlet-name is missing

    I moved to Eclipse 3.5, installed the plugin version 1.1 BB and copied a Blackberry project from the workspce Eclipse 3.4 to 3.5 workspace.

    I've added a new project of Blackberry and pointed to the existing project. He seemed to find everything, from the jdp or .project file and installed. But he has been unable to build.  In the process of building I noticed several manufacturers reported as "missing". I created a TEST project and said that she had a 'Builder of Java' the real project does not have.  I add the following xml to the builders section of the .project file code:

    org. Eclipse.JDT.Core.javabuilder

    He then built.

    The packaging problem. Now I'm stuck on this packaging error:

    Error! 907: descriptor required attribute missing: MIDlet-name

    In the Application descriptor page, I chose 'Blackberry Application' so "main Midlet name" is not editable...

    Any ideas on why I can't move my project smoothly.

    Why the Application descriptor page would not create an appropriate description of MIDlet?

    Solutions!

    Problem 1, the missing Java constructor can either be handled by adding the text above in the file .projects, or having somehow incremental builders reference the ".externalToolBuilders" folder that I found them in.

    Problem 2 is unique.  To avoid applications with systems operating older running in compatibility mode (the small screen of blue border) on the storms, a file "compatibity.jad" was the project, containing the lines:

    RIM-TouchCompatibilityMode: false
    RIM-TouchCompatibilityMode-UserChangeable: false

    The jad file is added to the real Jad through Update.Jad.  However, during the project/file/new blackberry existing project using Eclipse 3.5 upgrade, program CAP locked on the compatibility.jad file and he was looking for the MIDlet-name. I renamed the file compatibility.kad and it solved problem.

    I think Rim should resolve the first issue, the question of Java Builder. The second question is kind of unique, but it can drive someone to another crazy one day...

    -If you upgrade and if you do not import heritage projects (which points to the.) BlackBerry folder BlackBerry.jdw) Note that the old NET_RIM_BLACKBERRY library is now named "JRE System Library [Blackberry JRE 4.7.0]" for example. So after the upgrade, you will need to remove the NET_RIM_BLACKBERRY and the "Add Library" the correct system library.

  • BlackBerry smartphones peut records BB Storm 9530 Sync

    I was able to sync media (photos, music and videos) and Outlook (calendar, tasks, and contacts) with no problems, but I was not able to determine whether or not I can sync a folder of files such as 'My Documents', containing MS Word and Excel Documents.  I would like to be able to synchronize this folder with my desktop and laptop so when I make a change to a file on either, it will update them when I sycn BB Storm.  I could do with my VX-6700. Please help if you can...

    Well, another good fix proposed by bifocals!

    It worked very well.  Here's a link that discusses the use of the Briefcase in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307885

    I started with my office by creating a 'New Briefcase' folder in 'My Documents '.  I then copied all the documents I want to sync between my office, Storm and laptop and then paste in the folder "new portfolio."

    From there on, I used Desktop Manager from Blackberry to synchronize my Storm with my office.  Once synchronized, I clicked on "Media" and then "Media Manager".  Once inside the "Media Manager", I opened my media card in "Devices" on the right side of the screen.  Then, I went to the upper left of the screen and clicked on the icon of the folder ("issues").  From then on, I looked for from the drop down menu files until I find "My Documents", then "new portfolio."  Then, I clicked on "New portfolio" so that its content/folders appear on the right.

    I then "copied down' content/folders on the memory card in 'Folder of Documents' of the press card.

    Now, whenever I want to access a document on my laptop, I connect my Storm and find the document on my press card.  Once I'm done making changes, I save the changes to the media card.

    Later, when I get home, I connect my Storm to my office, resync, then 'copy to the top' all documents in the folder "New portfolio" on my desktop.  This will automatically update the files that I had changed.  I 'copy to the top' all documents, so I don't need to worry about remember what documents I've changed.

    If I decide to save my documents on my laptop, instead of simply using the laptop to view and edit my docs, I'll probably consider creating a folder "New portfolio" on this subject.  This would help preserve the current docs on both sides.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Newbie needs help [STORM 9500]

    Hi people.
    I recently got a new BB Storm 9500 my plan of operator and now I'm learning how to customize him completely.
    Right now I'm having two problems.
    I can't update the software. I'm in the course of the new BlackBerry Desktop Software downloaded from the official website of BlacBerry but everytime I try I get the same message. An unexpected failure. It always happens when the software tries to access the ROM of the device.
    I changed and re-changed almost all the options of Setup in the software but I can't find the solution.
    Someone had this problem?

    Another problem I have is the financial problem.
    Here at the Brazil data plan is quite expensive. Without Wi - Fi on the device, it is very difficult work with internet on the mobile phone.
    So, find a trick to add to BlackBerry to access wi - fi networks?
    Or have a way to connect to an internet connection PC hollow?

    Thanks for help.

    Without more details, it will be difficult to determine what is happening with your upgrade, but if you follow the directions in this link below, which has the latest newest 9500 OS out, you should be good.

    http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-9500-series-discussion-storm/203092-latest-OS-9500-4-7-0-237...

    These guidelines do not use Desktop Manager, you will see.

    The 9500 has no WiFi, and even with WiFi, you would need your operator BlackBerry data plan to enable all the BlackBerry service has this push email RIM, browser, etc..

  • BlackBerry Smartphones two accounts on the BlackBerry Bold 9650

    I had a "BOLD" of Verizon BlackBerry 9560 for about two months.  I use both an e-mail address of work through my company's BES and a Hotmail account.  Last week I had problems with Outlook duplicate appearing on my calendar, events so that our "wiped" IT Device Manager which seems to have solved this problem but brought another person that I need help with.

    I put the device in a way that all notifications in my Messages folder (including work and emails Hotmail, texts, BB Messenger, missed calls and voicemail notifications). However, since the reset, two old items have disappeared:

    First of all, I used to be able to choose if I wanted to send an email from my 'Office' (business address) or a Hotmail account by clicking "Email Composer" in the menu and then scroll up to above to: line and switch between the desktop (by default) and Hotmail. I would only be able to send from the office (i.e., there is no way to switch to Hotmail to send instead of this account). I tried 'Inbox settings' in the Options menu, but can't find out how to add the Hotmail account it.

    The other problem is that for incoming Hotmail messages, when I clicked on delete I used to be able to choose if I wanted to "remove Pocket' or 'Delete from Handheld and account' (or something like that.  Now, if I click on delete a Hotmail message, it removes both the BlackBerry and the Hotmail account, which I still don't want to do.

    Any help/advice/suggestions?  Thank you!

    Hello!

    I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come):

    (1) registry HRT

    • Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table > (it matter little what line is current) > sign up now

    (2) Service reference books

    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your BIS lines for these accounts.

  • 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 Smartphones Outlook 2007 and storm Sync?

    Previously, I had a Dell Pocket PC and used Microsoft's ActiveSync through an abridged version Outlook. I bought a storm through Verizon and tried to sync Outlook with the storm. I kept getting the window... "Run-time error. Value of the option is unacceptable. Please check the properties option. "I went through Setup with Verizon Tech Support. Which included the restart of the storm. They have abandoned and referred me to Blackberry.

    I have since removed the Outlook 2002 including all .pst files hidden that I could find. I installed Microsoft Office 2007 and started again. Same problem, same error!

    I don't think there is a problem with the BB Desktop Manager configuration. Between Verizon and I have, it seems, that attempted to apply the possibilities.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones missing on my Storm lightning bolt theme. Can someone tell me how to get it?

    I bought my Storm the day of the release of my local Verizon. The theme, with what he came is a red screen with the check from Verizon. No offense to Verizon, but I don't want the theme. When I go into the themes, it shows a small picture of the correct theme but you can't choose it. I looked everywhere on the phone and can not find the scene of lightning. Funny thing is that I can't find a picture of the Verizon theme. So now the mystery thickens because from time to time when checking my email a brief overview of all the low 1/4 of the lightning theme appears. I had the Blackberry phone and they can't find a copy of the same e-mail me silly theme and no one can understand why my phone is like that. They claim, that he should have with the topic of lightning on him and not the theme of Verizon.

    Can someone help me with this? I'm not totally stupid techno, but I'm starting to feel like it.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Google Maps on Storm

    My Storm is great - my first Blackberry but I have a problem with Google Maps.  First time I tried to use it, he downloaded the app and started the application I think OK.  Since then whenever I try to use Google Maps, he asks me to rInstaller or not, even if he says it's installed akready and whatever I do, it does not run. It may be something to do with the license acceptance screen, I can't highlight the "I agree" or "I do not accept" options. even if it downloads the application again. I reinstalled 4 - 5 times without success, or is there an option to remove the application.  Any ideas?

    Mate, I think I kmnow what you do! The "Application Center" is where you install the applications of. Once they are installed, you must look in the 'Applications' for effective enforcement. I made the same mistake initially.

    By the way, it's a value controls in the application Centre from time to time (and then by clicking on the icon "Update" on the upper right) as it will tell you if there are updates for the applications may have already downloaded (for example, You Tube has been recently updated...)

    I hope this helps guys...

  • BlackBerry Blackberry Smartphones defective - urgent issues please until it goes back

    Hello world

    My trackerball is faulty on my 8100 pearl, so Orange are sending me a replacement BB tomorrow. I need to transfer my numbers to my SIM card (stupid, I know that I should have done in the first place!) if anyone can help me with the following questions:

    1. How can I copy all my contacts from my phone to my SIM card at one time? (I know that I'll probably lose all the additional info that I add to each contact such as email)
    2. If I back up everything on my computer, do I ask Outlook to do, as I did not have this at home - can I just save everything in a folder?
    3. For future issues I want to add to my address book, how can I do this by default for the numbers to go to SIM card?
    4. Finally! Where are my text messages stored - on my phone or my SIM card?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    1. You can copy in bulk from SIM-> BlackBerry, not vice versa. So copy of BlackBerry-> SIM must be done at once. If you have a gmail account, you can use their Google Mobile App to sync your address book with the address book from Gmail wireless.
    2. You can download the Desktop Manager and use it is the functionality of backup and restore to back up all the data on the BlackBerry. It stores the information in an IPD file on your computer. If you get a new device you can restore the info of the IPD file on the new device. Alternatively, you can use Switch Device Manager Desktop Assistant to transfer information between BlackBerry
    3. The addresses will always be saved in the device memory.
    4. Text messages are also stored in the device memory.
  • BlackBerry Smartphones Hotmail on BB storm

    I want to configure my hotmail on my BB storm email, but I wanted to know if I have to pay extra? I already have my yahoo one hanging on my BB storm, I heard that you will have to pay a fee to use hotmail on the BB storm, and I want to just make sure

    Thank you

    Candy, no. Pushing your Hotmail account to (all) BlackBerry is the same process as easy as to your Yahoo mail account for the BlackBerry, no cost other than your data Plan with your carrier, which is looks like you already have. You can have up to 10 BIS accounts on your BlackBerry for the cost you pay for your data Plan for you carrier.

    IN THE PAST, Hotmail users upgrade their Hotmail accounts to HotMail accounts, in order to have available on the BB, but this is no longer the case. Maybe read you some old posts mentioning that.

  • BlackBerry smartphones double date on Storm

    Hello, I synchronize my Storm with my Outlook calendar (via cable) and found that some of my appointments appear suddenly double on the timing of the storm, which is the same nomination at the same time, but one blue and one yellow. This is not the case in the Outlook calendar. How can I get rid of the yellow appointments (I tried the pop of battery on thing - no effect)? Thank you

    I have so far not had no more appointments in doubles. That's what I did: it is possible to have multiple calendars on the storm, each connected to a different e-mail address and color, I don't know how it happened in my case because my Outlook uses only one. I worked on I had 2 types of duplicate appointments: one where nominations were the same color and came from the same e-mail address/calendar and the second where the appointments were the same, but in a different color and so representing a different calendar duplicate. The menu in the calendar app button and selecting 'Select calendar' will identify which email address. However, this setting is not permanent, it will only modify the current view. Select 'Options' will display only the addresses, help rather than solve it (and you can change the color by clicking on the email...). But go in the BlackBerry Options in "Advanced Options", then "default Services" allow to specify what email address to use for the calendar under "set calendar (CICAL). I also put the order of the day to the same e-mail address: "Messaging (CMIME). I only deleted all appointments in double individually by hand, to avoid a complete sweap. Has worked so far. I hope it's useful...
