BlackBerry smartphones, why do I need an app for some Web pages?

Please forgive me, because I am a new owner of BB.  I don't understand why I need apps for certain things (Pandora, LogMeIn, etc.).  Here are the sites I want to visit using the browser.  If I was using my computer at home, I would just connect to my Pandora account.  No software has been downloaded (that I remember).  So why can't just visit the Web page of my BB?  I understand if I want to use a real program (Word, Excel, etc.) that the software must be downloaded beforehand, but I only visit a Web page... TIA

But your BlackBerry is not a complete PC, not the same processor fast, etc., and not the same data entry speed, so an application on the device help to 'manage' the spped and debit date on the mobile device by buffereing entry and be simply 'more effective' you can use the device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones why do I get multiple contacts for the same person

    Recently, when I add a new contact the 9700 creates several entries. When I delete these multiple inputs, then it leaves about 10 spaces. If I let multiple entries for the same person, the next person that I add only then indicates once

    Why they appear more than once?

    How can I delete multiple entries so they do not reappear when I create the following entry?

    Help, please

    Try a simple reboot and see if the empty entries remain.

    With the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Hello

    Have a new 8310. Operating system is v4.5.0.37 platform 2.7.0.55I'm in Australia, currently with Telstra, but by train to change.

    I didn't buy a data plan for the phone. I have a wireless modem for my desktop & wondering if I can use this to connect my phone to the web without buying data?

    Do I need a data plan to send emails? Can I use my acct (yahoo) of existing email online, or I need to set up a special telephone? If so, please explain where and how? If this is not the case, what other info I have to configure the existing one? It seems that I need a PIN and e-addy & password (and assuming this is the yahoo password?)

    Yes. Basically, to do anything other than use of the phone, you need a data plan. Period.

    Yes... See the above reading material.

    PIN... hmmm... There are several definitions for this acronym in the world of BB. The most usual is a unique identifier, as an IP address or phone number, that is assigned to the factory to your BB. It is used to register your BB for various services (Yes, through a data plan) to identify your BB on the network.

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones why the email app is so crappy?

    When I got my Storm 2 9550, I figured I'd get a handheld device with the best email built-in, because email is the root of a Blackberry service (Palm was PDA, WinMob is access to files, iPhone is media, etc.).  So how is it that the native email on this thing is the worst I've ever seen?  How can I make comments on BOARD what this user thinks he has to do (I've yet to find a "comment" or "contact us" link that does not require a support contract)?

    To my email I keep messages in IMAP folder.  In order to be useful, my email on my mobile must be able to synchronize perfectly with these files.  The "Berry is not.  It is not yet fully synchronized with my Inbox.  Changes (deletions, changes of State) my Inbox in my office do not appear on the Bay.

    Is it a third party customer IMAP messaging that does this?

    Hello and welcome to the Forums!

    To answer your question in your subject line - the question itself is subjective... it may be an unacceptable app for you, but it is acceptable to many others. Companies to make decisions about how their devices will work. Different companies make different decisions. These differences are that discriminate against one another. If someone wants an iPhone functions, then by all means they must purchase a. Choice and educated decisions are what makes life so rich for us in many ways. Sometimes we make mistakes when we make these decisions - I think you assumed that the BB would work in a way that you wanted... and yet it isn't. However, it is not IMHO a failure on rims part... they do not hide the way including their function of devices. As in all things, buyer beware...

    However, if you have specific and constructive ideas for RIM, I heard they accept such email to [email protected]...

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones why my livelihood of the home screen messages in the process of disappearance (SMS, missed calls, etc.)?

    My messages, all other next to the e-mail, because I have not yet implemented, just keep disappearing.  I have the theme of the home screen that displays messages, calendar, call log, and applications.  The messages section shows me when I have a missed call or text or something like that... but for some reason, I go back to my phone and I do not see who called or texted.  The messages section of the home screen is blank and if I select and go to my App messages, there are only 3 registered and 2 are BlackBerry April 25 and July 30, only appears from my boss on 5 August.  The only reason why I can not even imagine still appears so is because she too has a blackberry.  I don't know, but it really starts to aggravate the crap out of me.  Someone knows how to help?

    I went to the General Options messages and ensures that all calls are sent to messages and call log.

    Oh yes!  The call log does not nothing either.  It's ridiculous!

    To please help because I love this phone, it does not work to the maximum but it's disappointing.

    This has been asked before and solved... you have a problem of memory... you must have at least 12 MB of free space for the phone works smothly. If you have not yet get a memory card and move your photos and videos on memory card. and ringtones downloaded... to find out what the status of your file is click on options of--> the situation and see what your file free it is another thing that could help is to do a battery pull, then do step above... Also make sure you have all internet programs running in the background IE: weatherbug... it causes continually downloads of data... clear your browsing history by going to a browser opened by clicking on menu, then options and then cache and clear your history... There are other measures to help, but I don't see any at the present time...

  • BlackBerry smartphone security wiping deleted my whole apps of My World!

    I have a bold 9700 and recently she got really really REALLY slow, to the point where, by pure blind frustration I went to the options screen and did security wipe for all third party applications, I thought it would be just deleted from my phone but it deleted my whole app in app world as well which means I can't reinstall one of them.

    I paid for some applications like Shazam Encore and Bejoose I really don't want to have to pay again, is there a way I could get back them?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    AW servers must always making... I suggest that you clear the cache of the application on the device AppWorld:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

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

    3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

    • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

    4 AppWorld must close

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

    6. return to AppWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync). Connect to MyWorld (if necessary - it will take your BB ID username and password this time; it's not remember your BB ID username after a clear the cache), and then try again.

    If the step (4) and (6) do not occur as indicated, then the empty the cache did not work.

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

    If and when this happens, if I make a change on the pone it will sync to my palm and outlook express? After you synchronize using the cable USB and the Office Manager.

  • BlackBerry smartphones why MAC different BT with MAC?

    Thank you!!

    I think BT (Bluetooth) MAC and the MAC (WIFI) to make the difference. The BlackBerry smartphone is not a

  • BlackBerry Smartphones why Desktop Manager is so ugly?

    I love my Blackberry device - but I hate Desktop Manager.  Why does a piece of software so bad?

    I'm afraid my BB synchronization.  It usually takes at least half a day - sometimes more.  It starts with the usual plethora of new updates the system indicates to the facility, some fail.

    I have a database of contact moderately important in MS Outlook (> 4000 records), but I do not think that he has never synchronized with my BB device without at least produce an error.  Flavor of today is 0x80040fb3.

    It seems that this is the result of what Desktop Manager seen as a broken contact record in Outlook.  But Outlook recount not mistakes - it works fine.  Why so Desktop Manager so picky?

    And why is it unable to trap the error and manipulation?  Or at least to notify the user with useful as information: "synchronization failed: there was a problem with the record that contains 'Albert Bloggs'."  Instead, we get '... 0x80040fb3. see the documentation "... like idleness, the part of the programmer.

    What annoys me really, however, is that the synchronization of the device to the PC cause the field "Note" Outlook will be truncated without warning.  My contact data are very important to me, and to the wire of the time that I was using my BB a large part of it has been totally lost in this way.  If the system must truncate when he meets a unlimited field, then by the love of God give me a warning and some choice in the matter.  And to preserve the data so there is no doubt.  I don't know why the community is not in the arms on this issue.

    your point "is a good basis" for the sync seems to be good advice, that I could have done with after a year or more.  But this should not really be like that.  The BB is not for lovers and Outlook.  These are the great products for the public and should simply better work together out of the box.

    Agreed.

    In my case, I constantly add contacts or additional contact information in Outlook and directly to the BlackBerry. I expect to be transparent, and - for me - it's just that, 95% of the time. But I know from experience that I put two applications through probably a higher than average use as normal user, and I honestly expect a user error on my part now and them I've added randomly and notes to contacts, etc. For the average user, it works very well and we are not among the thousands for which it is always transparent.

    Today, I always get an error on sync which I think is related to a group that I have on the BlackBerry, but for now, I'm willing to allow that one mistake to stay because I don't want to delete, or rebuild this group at the moment. I'm in a month when I have more time.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones using Wi - Fi to connect to my email, web browser, the world ap and... Well well... everything? on my 8900

    Recently, I bought a Blackberry Curve 8900 with tmobile. Now, here's the thing, I don't have a data plan of any kind with tmobile. Then, when I bought the phone I have insterted my phone and it started. Checked with my seller to make sure he made a phone call... He did it. So I knew for sure my card SIM was working fine...

    Heres where it gets weird...

    When I got home, the first thing I did was to connect to my network wireless... using a Wi - Fi connection... obviously. And from there, I went to the Setup Wizard and went through each step. When I got to the part of the Email, he gave me two options, I do not remember the two, but one of them has been "put in place of the emails through blackberry enterprise server"... or something like that. I didn't know that I didn't have a data plan, so I clicked on the second option. I went through the process and EMAIL... by WIFI. I even sent my e-mail messages free to make sure that it worked and have evidence that I received email and Xavier sent to me and others! without a data plan!

    It's what I expected... I didn't know this wasn't supposed to happen? and that BlackBerry customers were able to get by email if they have a blackberry data plan?

    Well, naturally, I thought that everything else works on a wif... like the iphone connection. Even if you don't have the 3G data plan, you can always access web, email, and aps. Anways Yes, applications communicated with the wifi network and my browser web page views on a wireless network.

    Then my myfaves dissapeard and gave a script error or something java coding. Then what should I do? I called tmobile and spend hours of troubleshooting. Finally, I am able to restore or update my OS with a PC and recover my mfaves. But now my world ap ap does not start and tells me that I need a data plan... following its my browser telling me the same thing, but also facebook. I'm like what's happening? And then when I try to set up the email... There is only one option... and that's 'email through blackberry enterprise server installation "...

    So my question is... If you take the time to read this... Why in the world any order in collaboration with wi fi and out of nowhere asked me to use a blackberry data service plan?

    Because, without THE BlackBerry data Plan, you will be using your WiFi HotSpot browser, and that's all. No email, no features of data application RIM as AppWorld or the BlackBerry Facebook app.

    He worked first, because you probably remnant provisioning Service books from the former owner, I suppose (as you mentioned "checked with my salesman).

    For me, seems to be suspected of working as.
