• BlackBerry smartphones my questions on the Storm 2 9520

  Hello everyone I do not have a Blackberry but I intend to update my phone soon and get a (I currently have a Nokia N95 8 GB). I looked through the list of Blackberry models, and the 9520 that I fell in love was the Storm 2 9520. I will probably get one, but I have several questions that I couldn't find clear answers on google. I'm picky about details on a phone, so I want to know everything before get you it. Here is the list of things that I had on my mind:

  -J' read that this phone records videos in 3gp format and not mp4. I'm a little worried about that, because I feel 3gp is less intense than mp4 by Windows (Win 7 user here). For example, 3gp, I filmed with an old phone years ago don't even open correctly in most players and no audio. So, is the format the phone records in playable correctly in Windows (Linux too)?

  -J' I always rename my pictures and my videos after taking. With the 9520, you can click a button or menu entry to rename an image / clip immediately after making it? Or they be saved with a name only automated, and you need to open your file browser and navigate to the file to be renamed?

  -A curiosity, I got on the touch screen if it is based only on the detection of heat or by pressing physics too. What I've seen, the heat detection is used when you lightly touch the screen and select the stuff / drag, while only pressing is used actually click. I'm curious because I could use my phone outside in the winter when I have leather gloves, and the screen can not detect my body energy then. Of course, it is difficult to use any phone with gloves, but I sometimes do to some extent

  -Use the charger micro-usb port, or another port? I know that some devices that use USB for charging and connection to the computer, which is a method that I prefer in general. No problem if it is not, just curious.

  -In the specs of the phone, it says maximum 8 GB micro-SD cards are supported. Someone can confirm that more cards are inconsistent and do not work (16 / 32 GB ones)?

  -J' read on a website that the only way to configure e-mail is to have a Blackberry Enterprise Server (do not exactly know what what). But you need to register with Blackberry using a classic IMAP / POP email account (like gmail or yahoo mail)? And besides, you need to register with any Blackberry service to use 3 G internet supplier or to use messenger (YIM MSN and AIM)? I'm guessing not, but always ask to be sure.

  -J' heard some phones have this limit / problem, so just to be safe: can put you MP3 transferred from your computer as ringtones? Or do you need to download them online from special services, as I heard some phones force you to?

  -J' read on several websites that there are complications with the installation of applications via the data cable. That's how I install most of my programs of others on phones. So if I have a jar or jad file on my desktop, is there no possible to install it via data cable unless I have an additional file with it? Same question for no java Blackberry applications.

  -All Web sites mention that the OS 5 web browser does not support flash on web pages (which I find quite sad). However, I can still play the files flash directly from my phone so I just open the swf file?

  -Can you play audio files in ogg / wav format? In addition, it can play video ogv, avi or mpeg?

  -Can I download themes for it that change the icons and colors of the menus? I guess the definition of custom screen (independent of the subject) shouldn't be a problem. Also, is there a free software that allows you to create your own themes and exporting it to the phone via data cable?

  -Are there also a front-facing camera for 3G video chat?

  -J' read on the differences between the 9520 and 9550 and that the 9550 has a frequency of additional network, sure it can work. Everyone says that you can not use a Blackberry in America if you buy it in Europe, in particular the 9520. Is this true? And the more vital than the 9520 9550 compatibility?

  -OS 6 will come to the 9520 too? Some sites say it won't, while than others whether in devices that it will support an update. Hope very much it will be

  -Finally, this could be a sensitive issue and I don't know how poorly seen on it is here. But it's easy to unlock / debrand the 9520? I would like to get the latest versions of firmware and do not have the limited phone.

  Someone mentioned the provider to branding is not done for commercial reasons, but in order to keep the compatible phone (and shouldn't even be illegal to debrand). So I think it should be ok.

  Yes, they are a lot of questions that may seem ridiculous. I got this phone for several years, so I want to know all about it. Thanks to all those who can help you meet them, and keep up the good work with phones

  3GP is the native video recording format. All you need is the codec on your PC to read. I downloaded a free transcoder and it not only transcode avi (and other formats) for me, but also to put the codec appropriate in what I can play natively without transcoding. QuickTime, I think a codec were also held. There are plenty of audio and the recorded video.

  Hmmm... haven't really tried to do... worst case, of course you can rename them later.

  In fact, storm BBs use two detection of heat as well as the physical press. It's called SurePress technology. Heat detection determines where on the screen you touch and then physical pressure activates the 'click' somehow. The entire screen is great physical button, whose activity is determined by your finger on the screen position when you press. As such, I doubt it'll work with gloves on at all. I know, on the ski slopes, I remove my glove to do something with my 9550.

  On the BB, a port for all functions. Micro USB for charging and attached USB data transfer. When connected to a PC with the drivers installed, the BB will be time load (from the USB port of the PC) as well as allow the transfer of data.

  Technically, the BB model is unrelated to the size of the SD card, it supports. It is rather a function of the OS level that the BB is running according to the instructions this KB:

  This issue is not that I consider as responsible. Everyone has their particular circumstances they need to meet. The features of the search machine and the frequency ranges of carriers that you want to run. Then choose the device that fits your specific needs.

  But I'm not sure of your premises. You seem to be saying that you are locked in your level of update of carriers, as long as your BB is blocked. This is false. Unlocking is simply the function to allow your BB run on a network of different carriers... at the level of the BONE is irrelevant to that. You are free to use the carriers released OS for your specific model BB... There is just a tiny thing that you need to follow. But unlocking is not necessary to do so. There's nothing illegal or anything about unlocking. But it is useless unless and until you want to reverse your BB to another carrier.

• BlackBerry Smartphones JVM 545 error for BB9790

  Hi guys. I need your help so badly. I hope someone can help me with the solution on how to fix the error 545 jvm. I tried to use the Fund Manager to update the operating system or reinstall, however, it does not give the possibility to reload the operating system.

  There is thus no apploader. I use the latest software of office. Also I can not connect with battery on as it always reboot due to the jvm 545 error.

• BlackBerry smartphones updated the OS for BB Bold 9930 - BBM has DISAPPEARED!

  I upgraded by OS for my BB Bold 9930.  Once the software has been loaded, my BBM icon has disappeared.

  1. I opened all the files, showing all the icons, etc, and it is not anywhere to be found.

  2. my BB Apps says that he is always downloaded... it WILL NOT I would delete the app to reinstall.

  3. I rebooted my phone several times and it still does not appear.

  4. I have connected my BB Desktop Software and it does not show BBM as one of my apps either.

  Help, please!  I use BBM all the time!

  So it is with a company BES account device?

  Try this,

  1. using the BlackBerry browser, go to www.blackberry.com/bbm
  2. Download and install (if you are prompted to allow version x.xx crush verson x.xx?, say YES)
  3. Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.
  4. Now find and configuration BBMessenger.

• BlackBerry smartphone App I paid for the list disappeared after the update failed

  The app was Braincube Premium. When I tried to update this application, an error has occurred and my Bay froze. After the reboot, the app just disappeared my my Berry and was not among my App World apps.

  I sent support but only got an automatic response email suggesting I visit http://... / appworld/support. But I don't see where I can start getting help to recover my paid app.

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application:

  1. open the App World

  2. go to my world

  3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

  3. for Storm/Pearl - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

  4. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

  5. return to the AppWorld. Connect to MyWorld (if there is one) and try again.

  I hope it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry smartphones is a way for the storm to "separate email accounts? '

  Forum,

  Is there a way for the Blackberry Storm to 'split' emails to 2 different accounts?  I have a corporate email account (MS Exchange) and a Yahoo! account.  Emails of these accounts appear in the Messages.  Is it possible to separate them so that I can view the emails in a view/account, Yahoo! mail in a different view/account?

  I guess it would be a type of client software for Blackberry email... dunno.

  Thanks in advance!

  Joe

  The alternatives will have to use an app of the add-on for the storm to create an icon that displays only the BES-based emails. See http://www.getempower.com/Empower_BES_MailBox.php for more information (I tried the free trial version and it worked great). The BES configuration method is discussed at http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB15003&sliceId=SAL_Pub..., but we have yet to try this one. Another alternative is to use modules for non - BES mail... GMAIL offers an add-on which manages all GMAIL, bypassing BIS entirely... I don't know if other e-mail providers have something similar.

  I'm currently testing a configuration where I use BIS to get my company email, BES to OTA sync my company calendar and contacts, GMAIL of add-on application to handle this, and BIS to manage what other email accounts. I no longer watch the main 'Messages' box at all.

• 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
  Juliette

  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!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Amazon app updated for BlackBerry Storm - but can not download...?

  Amazon has updated its app for the BlackBerry Storm, but when I try to download it - it tells me there is a problem with the download...?

  http://www.Amazon.com/BB

  I checked a bit in this and apparently there are problems with the download link.  Try to download again the link now (on your Storm).  Apparently people had issues, but it seems to work now.  If this does not work, let me know and we can try a few other things.  And just in case, clear your cache browser or do a battery pull before installation to ensure that it's not going to a version cached (and so wrong) of the page.  Also, make sure that your browser ID is set to BlackBerry (and not Internet Explorer or Firefox).

  I hope that helps!
