BlackBerry Smartphones where is 'phone dialer '?

I have a love/hate relationship with my 8330. I like it, but it's so frustrating. I would use the shortcuts of the letter, but I can't understand how to turn off anything in "phone dialer." I don't know where is the phone dialer. EACH key seems to go to the address book.

I watched the tutorial and I even bought a book, but I'm still ripping my hair out half the time.

Green key, then in the screen of the phone, menu button, select options, General options. Scroll to dial from home screen

This gets you are dialing from the home screen.

Return to the same path for telephone options, General options, phone list views, can be set to 'name '.

This allows you to type 'R' and get users starting with 'R '.

Is that what you are looking for?

Thank you

  • Data not updated blackBerry Smartphones when inactive phone

    Hi all

    Recently, I removed my main of my device e-mail address while he is on vacation.

    I just put back it, but now I find that data (emails and BBM) are not updated when the phone was in bag for awhile.

    If I put myself in response to or sending emails or BBM of unit all starts update again and all emails in circulation and BMMs come out at the same time.

    Everything working the normal flow is restored, but after being in the Pocket for awhile everything stops again.

    Any ideas?

    I noticed the problem when I started getting these archaic messages called SMS asking me why I do not answer to my BBM... naturally the idea of not receiving them is scaring me senseless!

    Kind regards

  • BlackBerry Smartphones where is the stock of RIM (No Carrier) OS for Blackberry 8300?

    Every time someone asks how to reload Blackberry OS, the GET directed to this website: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp which contains all the operating systems for different carriers who sold blackberries. Upstairs, he says that this is for people who didn't buy their phone DIRECTLY from RIM, with no dependence of the carrier. So, where's the stock, no carrier OS if I want to reload my Blackberry that I bought from the RIM, directly and without SIM card?

    I have a Blackberry 8300, if you were wondering.

    You can use ONE of these versions of the operating system of your device, regardless of the carrier.

    Operating system device provided are "released" by specific carriers once that they are certified and trained to their support technicians, but still, you are able to load any carrier the same model by following the instructions below.

    See the link below to download it and follow these simple instructions.

    First find your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." (You might have another Vendor.xml file hiding on your computer.) Open Windows Explorer, and in organizing key (on Windows 7, there are similar tools for Vista and XP) click on 'folder and search options. On the display tab, make sure that your computer is configured to display the hidden files and folders. Once you have done this, look for your drive C:\ "Vendor.xml".)
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

    * Starting with later versions of the OS6, there are now three copies of the SELLER. XML
    C:\Program Files\Fichiers Research In Motion\AppLoader (for 32-bit Windows XP/Vista/7)
    ==========OR============
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader (for 64-bit Windows Vista/7)
    C:\Documents and Settings\ * name * \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    C:\Documents and Settings\ * name * \Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    You can also just search of the SELLER. XML. ensure that you choose the ADVANCED SEARCH and include hidden files. It should display the file in three places. Delete all copies that it finds.

    Note: Some users may be concerned they will void their warranty of device by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to fear. Please read more information about it here: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html

  • BlackBerry smartphones had my phone 5 minutes and it already broke

    So my last blackberry which was exactly the same model (9360) was broken, so I called my provider and they sent me a new handset today and I just put my phone and he broke already, the first thing I noticed was wrong with it was after about 1 minute to have, when it wouldn't let me scroll among the trays with all the applications on the top bar where I can access to the options and then he decided to work but it froze quickly again, this time the trackpad was paralyzed and I could not scroll at all, but the phone it's self has not been frozen because I could always select return etc.

    I tried the battery pull and has not always helped and I'm about to throw my phone out the window...

    Is that what I can do to fix this problem or do I call BACK to the top of my career and have ANOTHER replacement sent to me after not even half an hour to receive my first replacement?

    I would like to do a reboot on the BlackBerry this way simple: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Then after that it is clearly restarted, leaving the camera for five minutes for the activity of initial data stop and the device should be usable.

    I hope that you have not received a replacement with a bad trackpad, but if you have, you definitely have a grievance with your mobile operator for replacement and get an Exchange once more. Sometimes things are just snake bit.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones where can I find the Media Manager for my office?

    OK I just looked at my records that I received with my BB Storm the other day.  It's the 9530.  There is only the VCast & BB media sync, but the button for Media Manager does not work... I watched the disc and there no Media Manager... now what?  I am running Windows Vista Premium Home OS, and I have the Desktop Manager 4.7 version.  Where the hell is the Media Manager and since I can't find it, y at - it a downloadable version of it somewhere on the net?  Please HELP I am ready to pull my hair!

    I had to talk to the reps to Blackberry and apparently some discs did NOT have the media for a reason Manager any.  The option was left aside.

    After much frustration, I finally got my answer.

    Format your card of media phones first, it on your phone.  Once done you will have a folder on your computer, when the phone is plugged into the computer, which said device BLACKBERRY and BLACKBERRY Media Card.  You can simply drag and drop into specified folders (for me it was the videos).

    If you already have a converter media it is the perfect way to do it and the video should be MP4 (at least that's all so far, I have converted)

    For the Media Manager, go here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/ but make sure you that you have uninstalled the Manager of the desktop of your computer first, and then re - install using the download from the link above.  I did it and it works fine now.

    FYI - the Roxio is slower than the second coming during the conversion.  First use the reformat your phone option, and then use roxio if you do not have a Media Converter.  There are other media there converters that are much faster.  I have one for my Zune that allows to convert a movie in about 20 minutes or more and then it's in the right format for the phone.

    Good luck.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones where are my contacts saved on my computer?

    I backed up my bb storm 9500 to my computer using the bb Desktop Manager. I now need access to my contacts list on my computer that my phone is broken and far to repair. I have no other way to get some contacts but can't seem to find where, on my computer, he decided to store them so that I can view.

    Help, please

    Thank you

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

    Your backup files are stored in a *.ipd file extension, often in your 'My Documents' folder.

    So, look over there, or search the entire of your PC for *.ipd and you should find it.

    Now, the IPD file is not usable by any other program except the BlackBerry.

    If you want to use the data in this file, you will need an application named ABC Amber IPD Converter to extract the address book, etc., for use.

    When you get your BlackBerry back, you can use the IPD file to restore your data to the new device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB support phone number?

    Hi, I have just my BB 9900 week last of the RIM (not carrier) and it won't turn this morning, after a night of load.  The red light flashes (3 seconds for 15 seconds), tried to charge in different ways (wall, usb cable), pulled the battery during the charge and all not, nothing in help.

    Seems that others have had this problem too, but not solutions.  I want to call someone, but don't know where to call.  Cannot call Rogers, they are probably not helping because the phone is directly of the RIM, so unblocked.

    Know a number I can call?

    Where did you buy the 9900 "directly from RIM"?

    You have a store or link address?

    RIM does not phone except through their support incident of pay...

  • List of contacts from blackBerry Smartphones on bearing phone numbers?

    New to Blackberry, but I'm pretty sure when I sync all initially had my Outlook contacts and then displays my contact list and rolled on a name, only phone numbers contacts appear as contacts.  Then I could roll the correct number and dial by pressing the trackball.

    Now, I get no display of phone numbers that I ride on a contact name in the contacts list.  I have to press the trackball or enter key to view info contact set and then select the phone number.

    Have I have big fingers tweaks without knowing?  I have read the manual and searched the web and can't find any arrangement which would alter the display of the list of contacts.  Maybe I just imagined?

    Workaround.  The Act of rolling the trackball on the name of the contact and see the phone numbers of the contacts under the name apparently only works when you use the function of name search from the home screen, and not in the contacts list.

    No need to practice!

  • BlackBerry smartphones where and how to log-in to my blackberry id

    IM new blackberry torch and im so lost. I managed to log-in before my BlackBerry id a few times maybe by chance, but I can't find it when I want it... where I should look?

    whenever I want to get an app im always asked to log-in, but my ID is not accepted even if I reset it successfully. When I try to connect you again to get an app it always send an error.

    can someone help me pls...

    Thank you

    First of all, a lot of people seem to have problems with connection and BlackBerry ID that are not accepted.  I know that BlackBerry e-mail servers have declined somewhat recently, perhaps this is related.

    To connect to AppWorld, open AppWorld on your phone.  Click on My World in the lower corner.  From this screen, press the menu to the left of the trackpad button and open a session from there.  Once connected, you can choose the account information by pressing this same menu key again.  This is where you can change your password if necessary.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones where can I sell my BB off Ebay?

    Hiya,

    I wanted to update phones, witch, I like every 6 months and not every 2 years, lol. I have a BlackBerry Bold 9700 in like -new condition. I still have the box and manual, and it is unlocked. This is a BB from Tmobile, but like I said, it is no longer blocked. Anyone know where I can sell it (other that Ebay, I got ripped out there once)? I was looking at Amazon.com and there can do, but I know not how it is course, my phone model, and condition, is in and be unlocked I didn't know of any cheaper than US $250.00 US $. I was willing to put $ 200.00 even just to get rid of more quickly, because once I have buy this other phone I'll be BROKE. I'm going to get a factory unlocked BB Torch. Basically my question is, does anyone have experience with the sale of phones (or other) on the internet, and where you did and it was safe? If anyone has one of this info, I would be grateful, if not, well thank you for reading my post in any case.

    I hope to hear soon, someone
