BlackBerry Smartphones using the 8300 BB as a PDA with Verizon

• 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.

• 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 using the option device wipe in BB Protect

  My blackberry got sotlen and I want to clean my device but I was wondering if I will be still able to charge my account information when I get my new phone and keep the same number, etc..

  Thank you!

  Clean your device remotely, then call your carrier to cancel your SIM card if you do not download charged for anyone else using your phone.

  To restore the data on your phone, use the BlackBerry Protect restore option or the same option available in BlackBerry Desktop Software.  It will be easy to do using one of data backups, you did.  Make backups of data by one of these methods already, I hope?

• Unlimited data plan for blackBerry Smartphones = use the internet free of charge?

  Hi guys, sorry im just a noob when it comes to phone plans. in any case here is my question. I have the blackberry bold 9700, my career is Rogers, and I have the data plan unlimited thing of service. Does that mean I can use the web browser built into the blackberry 'free of charge '. because I know that I can connect to my router with wi - fi, but I just want to know if unlimited plan data, if I can use internet on my phone without any charge

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Any carrier the rules of what services are available and what they cost. This generic FAQ provides some information:

  • http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F

  However, with hundreds of carriers in the world with dozens of different data plans, it is best to ask them directly for services that you have and at what cost. But, as a general rule, the built in browser BB requires a complete data BB plan (as stated in the FAQ). However, as also the FAQ, you can get another browser which may be able to work with all your services are that you have enabled your carrier.

  Good luck!

• 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.

• BlackBerry smartphones using the Micro SDHC 8 GB in Curve 8330

  Hello

  Is someone using a Micro SDHC 8 GB card in their Verizon Blackberry 8330?

  I can't seem to get a straight answer on whether or not it will work.

  Thank you

  Currently, smartphones BlackBerry running the following versions of BlackBerry® Device Software will support until the displayed size.

  BlackBerry Device Software Media card size limit           

  BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 up to 2GB

  BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 up to 4 GB

  BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 up to 4 GB

  BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 up to 8GB

  It should work. However, some people complained that the 8 GB cards were hit or miss. I hope that support will be better with the next version of the operating system.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using the BBM after connecting through wifi?

  I just arrived in canada and I have connected my torch to wifi wpa personal, the browser works well but my bbm is not working, can someone please tell what to do to plug on bbm?

  Thank you

  Fankoosh wrote:

  No I don't have an international plan, but I had my sim card on until it got to with the fact that bbm does not work on wifi

  Yep, that will definitely throw a crimp in your BIS data connection.

  How can you not have noted that early?

  • Put the SIM card in and start the backup.
  • Leave the appliance to connect again with your network, roaming.
  • Then you should be able to go to your Mobile network settings and to disable the connection to your mobile phone network and to use BBM and email, etc., through WiFi only.
