BlackBerry smartphones using torch as a bridge for laptop

My father wondered if you can use the torch as his laptop's internet access point

Yes. Yes. The new Desktop Manager software will allow you to do. I have a plan strap through at & t and I recommend the same thing, because they can charge you more if you tie without a plan.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones using missing synch for Blackberry Storm - does not contact sync etc.

    Initially, I downloaded pocketmac, who has never worked at all. He even does recognize the blackberry on the mobile icon, so I bought your missing sync for blackberry download.
    I've updated some contacts in the address book and then I set the plugin contact crush the next synchronization only. It did not work.

    He wanted initially to delete all my contacts of device: error more than 5% of your contact records will be changed. So, I followed the steps that provide you technical support for it. backup ical and return on the database and do with the address book then reset isync. I re-entered my AddressBook updated some new contacts and added a few photos to their cards and changed preferences to include the job titles. Then I tried to sync again (after restart and reset blackberry app) he copied on some of the contacts in the address book and others with and without pictures?

    On the blackberry in contacts, some have a space for an image to add and others not, despite me to add photos to the address book.

    Also, I added a map for me because I was instructed to do when I tried to send an invitation ical for a participant to a photo shoot and told me: you must create an address for yourself card in the address book of Mac OS X, but I created a? This means constantly every time.

    I just did the last synchronization, ical appointments worked, but I got an error message at the end saying:
    The calendar that you specified for tasks that are created on the device is no longer exists. Please, open the settings of the plugin dialog box tasks and select another calendar.
    Tasks: There is a problem with the plugin configuration tasks. Please, open the settings of the plugin of the tasks dialog box and make sure that the settings are correct.
    I'm not sure what that means that there is no such thing as the plugin configuration task on the blackberry storm, that I can find.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will pass this on too many other press photographers in London which are all looking forward to register for the new storm, but will probably have much less patience and perseverance than me who happens to start all
    Best regards

    I intend as a result tomorrow when my Storm (could actually be a couple of days, but I promise you, as soon as POSSIBLE). However, on your Mac, in the address book application follow these steps if you do not.

    (1) (to select the map that you created yourself (highlighted)

    (2) in the map menu, select make this card my card

    Just because you created a card with your info is not enough.

    Hope this helps, & hope I can help more as soon as POSSIBLE!

  • 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 Album artwork are the same for all the songs

    I have a bb bold 9780. I recently added a folder to the top 40 uk... and I guess that each song has its own pocket... but in my case, my bb is showing a cover of a song from this record to all the songs... even when I download songs of songlover.pk every song has its own cover art, but it will show a unique work for many songs downloaded from this site... I noticed that it is caused due to the name of the folder, for example. A folder named "single" has 2-3 songs will show an illustration of common album... Please help me...

    Hey parampramit,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Thanks for the question.

    We are aware of this problem, this problem is solved by using BlackBerry Device Software 7.0.  However, this version of the software is not available for the BlackBerry Bold 9780 smartphone.

    In the meantime, follow these steps and test the cover of the album:

    1. In iTunes or Windows Media Player, select this option to change the albums
    2. Enter the correct Album for each album artist
    3. Transfer the songs to your BlackBerry smartphone.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    See you soon.

  • 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!  :-)

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to create an icon for my email accounts?

    Hi - I use Internet e-mail services for my work and my personal email - and I therefore two configuration of e-mail services.

    The previous Blackberry this created three icons--one for each service and a handset.

    The torch, I have one for my personal email account, and one for the handset. There is no separate icon for my work e-mail account.

    Something I've done in the settings?

    Anyonw know please if there is a way to create a separate icon for my work email account?

    Thank you!

    MKE

    If your job is configured via BES or BESx then the icon is hidden by default.

    You have two choices: -.

    (1) in the main message box, go to the Options - the Inbox management and uncheck your personal account which will stop the e-mails contained in the main Inbox

    (2) in the pane all, press the Menu key and select Show all - this will show the hidden desktop icon - highlight and select view (if you want you can now hide the all-in-one Inbox) and then press the menu button and uncheck everything display.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones getting new BB Protect number for my phone

    Protect my bb can not download on my phone, as it has already been downloaded (not by me).

    Now, I don't have the feature of bb protect. Can I be reissued with a new number IM for my phone so that I can download and make use of the bb protect feature on my phone?

    Your carrier is wrong when they say that its been downloaded already on another device and that is why you can not download. I don't know why they say that, but that's not true.

    When you download BlackBerry Protect, it should not ask you for your PIN or any code. The only time where he should require any entry is the first time you open (it may ask you to enter your email BlackBerry ID and password, but that's all).

    Instead of download via the icon on your screen, open BlackBerry App World and search for BlackBerry Protect there Download BlackBerry App World. At least that can offer an alternative method. If you still have problems to make it work, please let me know.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can I retrieve contact information for a database without the BlackBerry

    This is my story - a couple of weeks, I dropped my 8130 Pearl in a large cup of water. After miraculously, he came back to life, I decided that it was time to SAVE my contact... information so I used the version of the office for 4.3.0.17 Manager do... Only, I clicked on "Addresses", which I guess means contacts. I joke that my poor BlackBerry not - the VERY NEXT DAY, went into the pool with me. Now, despite the fact that I just mentioned after swimming, I actually do not lead a lavish lifestyle... I live in the desert, and I had to enter my poor toddler, overheated in the pool as soon as possible. I have no cell phone insurance, but I don't have the $50 deductible to get a new BlackBerry. Now I use a Casio g opportunity ' Boulder area. I had so much contact info, I need. So, here is my question. Is there a way to convert information database (IPD file) I saved in a word document, or other legible form so I can get all my contacts?

    Thank you in advance,

    Crystal

    Crystal, Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    Yes, google search for ABC Amber IPD Converter and use it. It is not free, but the trial software will manage a limited number of records.

    If you end up having a new BlackBerry, you can restore this backup IPD file on your new device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Torch - BB email

    I had a curve but had many problems with it. After that I returned the curve to warrantly because the trackball doesn't work anymore, the next 4 curves I couldn't have my bb work e-mail.

    On the new torch, I have the same problem. It does not recognize my password.  Is there a way to reset it without signing in.

    Thanks, Lindsey

    What password are you trying to use? The BIS portal for your carrier or set up your device on a BES Server?

  • Database of blackBerry Smartphones the address book not available for synchronization

    ... "For help to resolve this problem, refer to KB19454 in the Knowledge Base of Blackberry Desktop Manager".

    I did, and it says this:

    Cause 1: the BlackBerry smartphone does not contain the PIM application you are trying to synchronize with. For example, the screenshot above error has occurred as a result of the application of tasks is not installed on the BlackBerry smartphone.

    Then, of course the BlackBerry has the address book app installed, and if it wasn't the cause.  I followed some of the sons of other related expenses and came up with nothing.

    I synced before - first time that successfully, this worked great, the second time that he kept failing, so I changed the setting to REPLACE my address book on the BlackBerry each sync, who has worked several times, and now this.

    GRRRR... of ideas?

    Worked like a champ, with the only exception to the process.  When I looked at my address book to the end, he had more than one entry for each record.  So I went back to the process, but this time, before you reconnect and resynchronize, I deleted manually additional entries - for some reason, they were still there, even though I "erased" address book information!  I'm guessing that these entries were originally a part of the problem.  Anyway, once deleted I've reconnected, resynced ' by replacing ' content of the BB for the address book - and now I have great 2-way synchronization job.

    In fact, you may be able to retrieve it without the drastic recommendation above. 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, remove the offending application:

    • KB10040 How to view or delete applications on a BlackBerry smartphone

    Only in cases where the application has caused corruption OS a full reload of the OS should be demand... but if it's just a bad application behave, Safe Mode will allow you to remove it.

  • Problems with the WEB BROWSER blackBerry Smartphones, use not wifi network to open some Web sites

    Hello I'm owner of BB BOLD 9900 OS 7.1... for the last two days I am facing a pretty annoying problem with the BB browser.

    It means not affects the device... it just annoys me.

    When I TURN ON my WiFi on my BB with the network carrier Sim already homepage active who has a Active on it and open the web browser BB, according to the website on which I open the web browser chooses between the internet Wi - fi OR internet BIS carrier which is weird. BECAUSE a default if the wifi is enabled, then the web browser MUST use internet wifi network carrier for navigation. YOU TUBE, FB and TWITTER.com all use my carrier netwrok to open bt soon I open BBC.com or CNN or any other site the wifi symbol appears on the right side and so it uses the wifi network... and disappears when I opened THE 3 SITES you tube FB n twitter.

    My knowledge is that when you activate THE wifi network, the WEB browser is intended to USE the wireless internet, NOT the internet carrier

    The next time I switchd off the the carrier signal, and then Turned ON one internet WI - FI and then opened the web browser of BB. so now all the opend website with wifi internet bt as soon as I open YOU TUBE or FB or TWITTER.com it post a comment... .that cannot visit the web page when the carrier is off. Please turn on the radio n try again... I mean IT SHOULD OPEN with internet wifi? WHY do network carrier sim to open the web page?

    I have checkd my browser settings and they are default and also my wifi settings I have reset the... the problem still persists?

    any idea wats going on?

    Please help is needed I'm annoyed about this problem...

    Thank you

    Because when it is used as a phone, it fits your ear in Portrait mode, where the "phone app" and call log work only in portrait mode. I know, sorta sill, but it's like that.
