BlackBerry smartphones using a 8300 as only a phone

• BlackBerry Smartphones using the 8300 BB as a PDA with Verizon

  I was considering buying a BB 8330 with the express purpose to have the PDA features.  I don't want to connect to the e-mail or use the internet features.  I don't want to connect to my computer via the USB port and the calendar, phone book and contacts in my Outlook file and all of the notes that I add as I do now with an older Palm Pilot PDA.  Verizon is telling me that I need an additional data package in order to transfer data between the computer and the BB.  Is this correct?  Can I use the BB as an independent PDA service Verizon 8330?

  In addition, my Palm has the ability to transfer a Wrod or computer Excell file and edit it and post it on the PDA.  The 8330 will do that?

  Is a software that comes with the Smartphone needed and available to allow these functions?

  Again, all I want from Verizon is the telephony service.  All this I want to do it through USB and the computer.

  Your answer will determine if I buy the BBs as Christmas gifts for my wife and myself or stick with my old phone and get a new PDA to stand alone.  Thank you for your help in making this decision.

  But not what I wanted to hear, he confirmed my question.  The real loss here is BlackBerry with a customer lost through Verizon.  I can not afford any additional service and will not pay use features that should not even involve the telephone operator.

  Thank you all for your answers.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

  • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

  It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

  If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

  But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

• Switching devices blackBerry Smartphones using the Desktop Manager

  I just got my Torch 9800 replacement since my first only the battery was drainning (apparently a common problem).

  Until I returned my old Torch 9800 I backed up and also used the device switch option in Desktop Manager. When it asked me to connect the new device, I unplugged the old camera, he took to the shop orange and then plugged my new camera.

  Then an error has occurred and asked me to update the software on the new device. I did it... and then when I use switching devices, it asks me to connect the current device but the problem is... I don't have the camera more.

  As I backed up all the data, I did a restore. He restored most of the data, but it has not restored my apps.

  Any idea on how I can do?

  I hope it is interesting all that.... and I get a better battery life this time!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Ah... never mind. While the device switch Wizard can indeed move a few apps, the backup/restore process does not have applications. So, in the State you are in, you must go to the source of your applications and re - get them. If you by AppWorld, the process is very smooth:

  • KB17625 How to install or transfer has already purchased apps from BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry smartphone

  If you have from other sources, then you should see if these sources are a simple way for you. I hope you have good record of all your activation keys... and some will indeed have to be regenerated some developers to attach the key on the BB SPINDLE, which is now different since you have a new device.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones using the calendar/Agenda when you don't have a data plan.

  Hi all, I just got a BB Curve 9320 model to replace my LG dead.  I use the phone for my convenience only but I fondly I remember my old Palm Pilot and it's wonderful calendar application that allows me to keep track of my life and where I was supposed to be and when.  I had hoped that the curve would be able to do the same thing with its calendar function.  I thought that using the BB desktop and connect my laptop to enable them to communicate that I would have the same function, like the Palm Pilot has made in my previous life of the curve.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to operate than I had imagined... I do something bad or without the data plan is - it simply not possible?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  What is wrong is your waiting... what you expect is not a feature designed... a few things to discuss... so bear with me...

  Unlike other how things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  So, to do what you want requires the use of a desktop PIM for your data... Choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then, enter your data in the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

• BlackBerry Smartphones BBM w / WiFi works only after changing SIM card not

  Hello

  I need help (otherwise I would not write here). I have the Bold 9930. Until I left the States, my phone was working perfectly fine... I had an email, BBM, whatsapp, text, etc...

  When I arrived in Haiti, I wanted to change my SIM card, then I would be able to use / have a number of Haitian. I don't have an international plan. When the guy put my the Haitian SIM, the phone asked my BlackBerry ID and password. I typed all the two, which were both correct, but he told me that it was a wrong password. The guy told me that the only way I'd be able to 'reset' from my BlackBerry ID would be to disconnect and to do this, it would eliminate all my pictures and everything. I didn't do that so I ended up buying a Haitian phone w / a Haitian SIM card.

  At this point, I have two phones. An American with a SIM American (BlackBerry) and a Haitian phone with a SIM card that is Haitian.

  When I got home, I turned on my American phone and its WiFi, but my BBM and emails were NOT WORKING! However, my Facebook application and the browser are both works perfectly well.

  I restarted my phone several times since yesterday and nothing has changed. I checked this morning to see if it worked, but not luck.

  So my question (s) / issue (s) is now:

  1. How can I get my BBM works again? (probably the most important)

  2. How can I get my email working again?

  3. is it possible possible for me to have my BlackBerry (US phone) work with my Haitian SIM card?

  Please, please, please, help.

  Unfortunately, the device works as expected. Facebook, the wifi browser work fine on wifi but BBM and email REQUIRE a valid BlackBerry data Plan.

  The only way to make it work is to have a BlackBerry data Plan on the Haitian Sim Card.

• BlackBerry Smartphones GPS, the 8300 and ATT

  I got my 8300 about a year previously and has waited until now to install the Garmin Mobile for Blackberry.

  Cingular says it had GPS 'ability' and I thought that it meant "integrated."  I paid $100 for the Garmin

  Download and got the version for phones WITH GPS.  Naturally he has no satellite.

  It is then that I discovered that I have the 8300 and not the 8310.  In addition, I had no Blackberry Maps

  featured and was ready to download/install, when I noticed the statement that IT DOES NOT

  ON ATT.  So, now I'm here with a bad brain trying to figure out how to get out of this trouble before

  I fed the rest of my money to Garmin or ATT or the PERSON, to get a less-than-perfect GPS Setup.

  I could get the Bluetooth GPS receiver, someone else purchased for about $60. Garmin Mobile software

  is an OF WHAT GPS with integrated phone and I noticed somewhere that it does not work for phones receive signals

  a Bluetooth receiver.  To stay with Garmin, I have to buy their package for about $150, which includes a

  receiver and the software to go with it.  Using THIS plan, buy one once, there seems to be no. $ 9.99/month

  subscription to process. (I'm wrong, or am I missing something here?)

  I could get the receiver for $60 as shown above and subscribe to Telenav GPS stuff that came with

  My att phone. I downloaded the new maps of them today, but I am not at all impressed with their quality.

  I also think that it is outrageous to pay the subscription of $9.99 / month to something I have trouble reading.

  Then... I guess I wonder if I should cut my losses here and go get the Garmin Nuvi that someone else

  has said was excellent for car navigation?  I like really use my 8300 for everything and have GPS it would sweep.  But I don't know if I combine a GPS system on the phone that he would give me the configuration of navigation that I would.

  There you have it. Opinions and advice are appreciated. BJ

  "One thing that made me hesitate to go to the BlueTooth receiver was the suspicion that he has not used the satellites, but uses rather server signals, or receiving cell tower." "I ordered the receiver Globalsat BT BlueTooth - 359C last weekend; I'll let you know how it works. »

  .

  .

  It works very well... and really uses satellites.  With Blackberry Maps, the dashboard for the navigation shows the speed you're going on the left, the right direction and a satellite icon in the middle with a number, which I guess is the strength of the signal.  The unit works as well for the location with Google maps, too.  Note: the key to the Bluetooth passcode is 0000.

• BlackBerry Smartphones use Storm 2 as PDA WiFi-Connected (without telephone service)?

  RESOLVED:
  See the second post in this thread for the solution (thanks to wiggler forum member)

  ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

  [I know I am a "retarded" for even bringing this place, but we'll just go beyond the part and talk about what I really want to know here ]

  My wife and I went to an Android (Bionic) for me and an iPhone (4 s) for her. However, his old phone (Storm 2) has recently been replaced because his former 1 storm went wrong on her... and now, since my father thought finally get something to replace his old (not to mention, broken and unusable) Palm device, we thought we might as well give him the Storm 2 and see if it'll work out for what he wants.

  Here's the deal about my father and his PDA... already has a cell phone, so he won't move up to a smart phone, because he does not want to pay the extra money every month just to get a PDA phone when he probably never really use the data service much and all that.

  He wants a phone just to be a phone, and he also wants a PDA... just for the PDA part.

  So, I thought, very well... If he is not willing to move completely in the modern era, then we can at least give him something he can synchronize with Outlook (it works... I already tried) to have its calendar and contacts with him all the time (which it is not able to do with his simple mobile).

  So what I know is that it's possible, at least in a very limited sense... I have the Storm 2 sync with Outlook.
  However, here's my problem... for a reason, even if the wifi card appears to connect to the wifi here in their home access point, it is not actually get an IP address and can't get out on the internet with the browser integrated into all.

  My question is this...
  Is it because it is not possible (i.e. RIM has configured to disable the card wifi within the unit while there is no mobile phone service connected), or who should run, and I should watch more in the sense of something wrong at the level of the home network?

  The reason why I think that it could be something awkward like that within the device itself, it is my new Android and iPhone of the wife are able to connect to the network wireless home here very well.

  Sorry for such a long thing, goofy needs help, but I thought it is a good starting point. If anyone has ideas and is willing to help, please chime.

  p.s. I am a computer scientist. So I have that aspect covered... at least you do not work with a complete * beep * if you jump here.

  I thought about it. I did a search on google for the specific message I saw in 'wi - fi tools' (which was "no longer valid"ip address ") and found this thread...
  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/other-BlackBerry-smartphones/IP-address-no-longer-valid/TD-p/...

  The second post there (from wiggler), gave me the fix I need.
  Thank you!  :-)

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 using the storm on the international scene

  One of the drawbacks of being a Verizon customer for me in the past was that I could never use my device during stays in holiday trade.

  But now that I have this incredible storm with a SIM car built in... I have reason to think I should be able to use this device on the international level?

  Someone at - it no experience or knowledge of how I'm going to do? Is it fair to assume that I what would also have access to the data, or am I asking too much?

  The storm should work in more places than on any other device you have.  Don't forget to connect with Verizon's global service (there is information that comes with the phone on, its special service and they have an international number) and make sure that the phone is enabled for international use.  THIS IS CRUCIAL.   You can also ask them what countries they take over.   Essentially the SIM card that comes with the storm's of Vodaphone, so does anyone have a joint contract with Vodafone should work.

  When you talk to Verizon, tell them that you spend long periods abroad and you want to use other SIM cards in your phone.  They will be open to you.  So, if you find a place that does not support the agreement of vodaphone, you can pick up a local SIM card and put it in the BB. Of course, then you don't have a local number, but then you have something.

• Smart blackBerry Smartphones could BBProtect with deleated BB - ID phone

  Hello

  Is possibe ist to disconnect a device of BBProtect after that the BB ID is already deleated?

  Even reinstalling the operating system has not solved the problem. After the reboot you must fill the deleated BB - ID.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not send messages or make phone calls

  My BB torch worked fine earlier, but there is an hour, it just stopped.  He has connections and bars, until in the Connections window bit. I tried it turn on and off as well as to take out the battery after it's off to reset.  I tried to remove all of my old conversations in the phone as well. I can still connect to the internet on this topic very well.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using two BB with the same account of Blackberry.

  Currently, I have a BB 9900 and is considering obtaining a BBZ10. The 9900 has a standard sim card by which the Z10 I think a micro sim. (I still have to talk to my service provider relating to the regime of a sim 2)

  Is it possible to use two phones at the same time, if my provider allows, regarding BB services etc. using the same account etc?

  I thought that I have addressed this before first topic to contact my ISP.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards.

  You ask the subject from the BBID even on both devices?

  Yes, to a certain extent, on the data.

  E-mail and social accounts like Facebook and Twitter works perfectly.

  BlackBerry Messenger will use only a BBID on a device at a time... If you have the same BBID on both devices, you will need to choose which will be your active BBM.

  Of course, the main question to this is if your mobile operator will allow two SIM cards with the same account. Doubtful.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using Wi - Fi to connect to my email, web browser, the world ap and... Well well... everything? on my 8900

  Recently, I bought a Blackberry Curve 8900 with tmobile. Now, here's the thing, I don't have a data plan of any kind with tmobile. Then, when I bought the phone I have insterted my phone and it started. Checked with my seller to make sure he made a phone call... He did it. So I knew for sure my card SIM was working fine...

  Heres where it gets weird...

  When I got home, the first thing I did was to connect to my network wireless... using a Wi - Fi connection... obviously. And from there, I went to the Setup Wizard and went through each step. When I got to the part of the Email, he gave me two options, I do not remember the two, but one of them has been "put in place of the emails through blackberry enterprise server"... or something like that. I didn't know that I didn't have a data plan, so I clicked on the second option. I went through the process and EMAIL... by WIFI. I even sent my e-mail messages free to make sure that it worked and have evidence that I received email and Xavier sent to me and others! without a data plan!

  It's what I expected... I didn't know this wasn't supposed to happen? and that BlackBerry customers were able to get by email if they have a blackberry data plan?

  Well, naturally, I thought that everything else works on a wif... like the iphone connection. Even if you don't have the 3G data plan, you can always access web, email, and aps. Anways Yes, applications communicated with the wifi network and my browser web page views on a wireless network.

  Then my myfaves dissapeard and gave a script error or something java coding. Then what should I do? I called tmobile and spend hours of troubleshooting. Finally, I am able to restore or update my OS with a PC and recover my mfaves. But now my world ap ap does not start and tells me that I need a data plan... following its my browser telling me the same thing, but also facebook. I'm like what's happening? And then when I try to set up the email... There is only one option... and that's 'email through blackberry enterprise server installation "...

  So my question is... If you take the time to read this... Why in the world any order in collaboration with wi fi and out of nowhere asked me to use a blackberry data service plan?

  Because, without THE BlackBerry data Plan, you will be using your WiFi HotSpot browser, and that's all. No email, no features of data application RIM as AppWorld or the BlackBerry Facebook app.

  He worked first, because you probably remnant provisioning Service books from the former owner, I suppose (as you mentioned "checked with my salesman).

  For me, seems to be suspected of working as.

  Not quite, you must always have a data plan for the iPhone.
