• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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.

  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.

• BlackBerry Smartphones has the question about GPS

  I have a BB 8800 device. It is connected to a mobile phone service provider that does not support BES or BIS. In other words, I use this device as a mobile phone.

  When I open Options-> Advanced Options-GPS and run the menu: "Refresh" GPS "didn't get no information from GPS (inside and outside).

  There are zeros in Latitude and Longitude.

  My question is: the GPS on BB8800 depends on mobile provider and my data plan?

  I understand that to display the cards that I have at least GPRS-internet service enabled to access and download blackberry maps.

  But I don't get any results when I simply run the GPS Options and launch refresh GPS info.

  Could you please explain. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if the GPS works at all the or not depends on whether the carrier allows him. But even if they do, it can be quite risky. I have Verizon in the United States and subscribe to the GPS service. I think it's pretty good - when it works. The biggest problem is that every four or five days about it does connect to GPS in the service of Verizon GPS signals, nothing else that the error messages "can not connect", and I do the reset drill "remove the battery and let it sit for a very long time" in order to resume service. Oddly, it's going to walk very well on Google Maps in this condition, but not on the traditional GPS. Would like to know the cause, since it seems that I am still an urgent need for GPS when he chooses to do not. Four or five days everything works well, then I'm in a strange city and the need to go from the airport to the hotel - and it won't work, so I find myself in some of Mall parking lot looking at my phone and the battery if displayed on the seat next to me, waiting for some kind of magic back to happen. The good news is that the reset still seem to work. The bad news is that I thought there is no alternative to lose 20 minutes to get a good discount to zero. I'm probably two resets far from cancelling the GPS service, it's just unpredictable as to when it's going to fail. Google Maps is not really very accurate in showing you where you are, but it has its uses. We are house hunting and I find that using Google Maps, while we are looking at a beautiful House we prevented them from making a few mistakes - found some really nasty industrial plants just across a line of trees, for example. I also use it to find restaurants that are pretty close to my hotel (so the total precision is not serious) of the Decree.

• 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.
