BlackBerry smartphones, what is the difference between the messages icon and the one with my e-mail address as title?

Hi, I'm new to blackberry. I just got a "BOLD", and some of the icons seem to be redundant. If someone could explain why I would really appreciate it. I had trouble getting the results of a search of forum so I apologize if this topic has been discussed recently.

What is the difference between 'messages' (which looks like an envelope) and the other envelope with the globe on it (which appears as [email protected])?

Can I delete one? I don't understand why there are two.

Also, why is it "medianet" and "browser"? They aren't going to the same place? What is an AT & T thing where they try to control the universe?

Thanks for your help,

KG

With the BlackBerry, you can have up to 10 "BIS" (BlackBerry Internet Service) email addresses, but also a company e-mail sent to your BlackBerry address.  It is also SMS (text) messages, PIN of PIIN messages and MMS messages.

Each BIS email address gets its own icon which will appear only this e-mail by e-mail address.  The Messages icon ALL E-mail addresses sent to the BlackBerry.  It will also display all messages in pine and optionally show the SMS (text) messages and phone calls, and IM still active cats.  But there is no icon for only PIN messages.

The fact that there is no way to separate the email from company to a simple icon is a point of contention for some users.  There is a product (Empower BES Mailbox - OTA / Web $20) which will create an icon that displays only the Enterprise email.  However, you can also create a saved search to display only the BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) email.

If you prefer using a simple icon of Messages or have separate icons for each email address is a matter of personal preference.  If you have only one or two emails being sent to your BlackBerry, there is probably little difference.  However, I have six accounts BIS as a BES account delivered and many prefer to have a place to look when I hear or feel that a new message has arrived.

In addition, equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard device, I'd rather be able to use the shortcut keys to access ALL the applications on my BlackBerry.  In fact, I have everything I don't need (including Messages, all messaging icons, address book, calendar, Notepad, etc.) in a folder called hidden since I never need them!

  • BlackBerry smartphones, what's the problem with Roxio Media Manager?

    I bought my first Black Friday Blackberry 8310 Curve. For some reason the Blackberry Desktop Manager installed and works quite well. However, when I open the screen Roxio Media Manager freezes and it does not even show my device. I have uninstalled cleanly and re-installed more than a dozen times and cannot operate. Also, we went and bought a graphics update and the sound card and installed them. The Roxio media manager ALWAYS freezes up and we must stop it.

    I do a lot of Paintshop Pro and have these programs as well as other graphic software. I wonder if it's a software conflict? I don't see one. Or if the Roxio is a point of sale as someone posted before.

    I spent hours and hours reading all I can on this subject and not online can not find an answer to anywhere. The main reason I want the Media Manager, is I want to make my own ringtones... that's all! The rest I can do without it. The BB Media Manager has the ability to make ringtones?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    your 9530 is CDMA (the Canada Network) and the 9500's GPRS / 3G (United States and EUROPE).

    For the rest, they are equal.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, what are the benefits of using the spindle to spindle and BBM?

    I have not used BBM again but was compose and send messages pins (peer-to-peer). Is this the same thing as the BBM and what are the benefits of each? Are they better than just SMS?  Would like to have an explanation, because I'm confused!  Thank you!!

    BBM and PIN messages are messages sent from one BlackBerry to another.  The message is composed by the sender and goes through the secure server of the RIM before being delivered to the recipient.  They are only available for BlackBerry users.

    The thing I like about them, it is how you can see if they have been received by the recipient.  Once the message reaches the recipient's phone, you will notice a small would be "at the beginning of your message.  In other words, that it is delivered.  When the recipient opens the message, who had "will change to a 'R' for 'reading'.  So now you know that it is actually received by the recipient.

    One more great thing about these messages, it's that there is no length limit.  As you probably know, most carriers limit SMS 160 characters; not the case with these messages, they can be much longer.

    BBM and PIN messages are of the same type of message, but with PIN messages, you are limited to just contact reception.  With BBM, you can have a lot of contacts on a cat, or you can broadcast a message to multiple contacts at the same time.

    I hope this explains things for you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! I lost all my application icons and the menu button does not work!

    I don't know what I did.  All the application icons are moved from the home page.   The menu button does nothing. The trackball does not have anthing. The only thing on the screen is the time, date, battery, new mail envelope, signal and volume. I pulled the battery and it has no effect. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Hey, JSammy.  I had mine works again with the help of someone from another site.  Here's what you need to do: press the green call button, then the menu button.  Select options, then on options General, highlight "dial from homescreen" and the value. Save and exit. Now on your home screen, press "O".  After that, the General menu options will come.  Choose the option 'theme' and choose a different theme or return to the default value.  This should be all your application icons to reappear.  After doing all this make sure you go back to reset the "dial" since the homescreen on 'yes '.  I hope it works for you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, what does the flashing light green?

    Hey all,.

    Have a curve 8330.  I know what the red and blue lights indicator means, but that means the light green?  I have no new messages or missed calls.  He started in the last two weeks.

    Thank you.

    Rosie

    Welcome to the forums

    The green light is usually an indicator of coverage. Go to Options > keyboard/screen and seeing set of coverage on the off position. Who help me?

    You can also try a battery pull:
    1. remove the battery while the phone is turned on
    2. wait a few seconds before inserting it again
    3. wait for the long end of the boot process (takes a few minutes usually)

    This clears most of the software problems that occur on the BlackBerry from time to time. You can also use Quickpull, a free application that simulates a battery pull without removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
    A battery pull gets lost when using the applications memory and clears minor software errors that creep over time. The blackberry is running an operating system just like your PC is running windows and battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot / restart your computer.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, what is the font used for the Bold 9780 for Arabic?

    Hi everyone, hope you are doing well.

    I use the Bold 9780 with the latest updates, works almost perfectly.

    I copied the history of BBM message files to my PC, they open like sheets of M.O.Excel. Display messages in English, while Arab messages are just a few scratches.

    I think the problem is that my laptop doesn't support the police who are using my BB for Arabic.

    The plan is to install this font to be able to read the history of cats, the main problem is that I don't have no idea what font it is.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    I finally figured it... It was released as a problem in the encoding of the file...

    It should be UTF8 to read Arabic (and other languages)... I couldn't really change the encoding of the excel sheet, so I just changed the .doc extension and he suggested to move to another encoding...

    Simply choose UTF8 and everything works fine = D

    Thank you very much for your efforts!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones what's the backlight on my Tour continue to?

    All of a sudden (on the 4 or 5 days) my battery drains very quickly.  I take my phone from the charger at 8:30 and at the point where I'm driving home from work @ 17:00 that the battery is completely dead.

    I noticed also just that there is something wrong with the backlight dimming.

    You know how if you do not touch your phone for a long period of time (mine locks automatically) then the backlight fades slowly to black.  My phone turns on again until press you a button or do something to the phone.

    Because I had the battery I noticed that, after having extended, no problems using my phone fades to black, and then immediately back light on its own. And always it all throughout the day, that's why I think it's killing my battery.

    Anyone know why this is happening?  I tried to turn the phone off for a while and then again... nothing seems to help.

    Help!

  • What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and controlling the display of Simulator

    I want to create a simulation of 3D on the front panel, and I see that we can use a 3D image control or a display of Simulator control. It seems that each of them can be used at the same position. What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and display of Simulator?

    Hi sfh1,

    You are right, I found examples of Robotics that use 3D photo control and display Simulator control to display a scene 3D on the front panel. After further research, it seems that control the display of Simulator adds additional features compared to the 3D picture control. The control displays Simulator allows the user to right-click control during execution and change the background color, draw fashion, draw contact, view the ID of robot, display sensor data, suspension of service Simulator and reset service Simulator.

    More in depth on these options and the display of control Simulator can be found here:
