BlackBerry Smartphones WITH the STORM's MAJOR PROBLEM! -Custom ringtones are NOT vibrate or go silent

According to the Guide to storm: "you can receive different notifications for incoming messages and calls from specific contacts or groups of contacts. Call and message notifications for your contacts are received even if you switch your sound profile silent or vibrate only. »

In other words, if you are in a meeting and on vibrate or silent mode, the phone will ring always if a call is received by a contact with a custom ring tone.  It is a defect and design MAJOR, in my view, totally unacceptable.  On all other BBs, vibrate and silent mode apply to all calls/messages - even those with custom ringtones.  Why is different from the storm.  He made the custom meaningless since once assigned ringtones, they can never extinguish. so for BB users who regularly attend meetings beware!  Assign a custom ring tone will be a career limiting move.

As a loyal BB user for 5 years and more, I humbly ask RIM to fix this ASAP!

I guess that when I changed it to the volume of the active profile that it would float to the active profile, being far away when it is to vibrate or silent or normal.  That doesn't seem to be the case.  It would be more logical than sense, though.

However, I made a temporary fix.  I created a custom profile I call silent default.  I put the ringtone in this profile to:

Ringtone: Ringer_ClassicPhone

Volumeilent

LED: Normal setting

Vibration: on

This causes the vibration when one of the call of people custom ringtone.

  • BlackBerry smartphones using the storm on the international scene

    One of the drawbacks of being a Verizon customer for me in the past was that I could never use my device during stays in holiday trade.

    But now that I have this incredible storm with a SIM car built in... I have reason to think I should be able to use this device on the international level?

    Someone at - it no experience or knowledge of how I'm going to do? Is it fair to assume that I what would also have access to the data, or am I asking too much?

    The storm should work in more places than on any other device you have.  Don't forget to connect with Verizon's global service (there is information that comes with the phone on, its special service and they have an international number) and make sure that the phone is enabled for international use.  THIS IS CRUCIAL.   You can also ask them what countries they take over.   Essentially the SIM card that comes with the storm's of Vodaphone, so does anyone have a joint contract with Vodafone should work.

    When you talk to Verizon, tell them that you spend long periods abroad and you want to use other SIM cards in your phone.  They will be open to you.  So, if you find a place that does not support the agreement of vodaphone, you can pick up a local SIM card and put it in the BB. Of course, then you don't have a local number, but then you have something.

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with the BBkey (also known as the menu button)

    Sometimes when I'm in an application and want to click on one of the list of the menu items (for example, delete), when I click on the menu button, which appears are some of the icons on the home page.  (I'm really tired of looking at this little Penguin...).  If I persist, I can usually get the pop-up menu option, but it's boring.  I'm sure it's a software problem.  I had this problem after a while on my first lap.  I had to replace the one because of other problems.  I used the switch device Wizard to transfer everything, so I guess he also transferred everything that is causing this issue.

    Everyone knows about this problem?  Any ideas on what to do?  I don't want to reinstall the OS - I'd rather upward with the problem.  Thank you.

    Hi again!

    The BBKey/Menu button has two functions.

    (1) to bring up a context menu of the application, you are

    (2) to bring up the Ribbon app-switcher (a list of all your applications in the course of execution so that you can change quickly from a different application...)

    The difference is how long you hold down the key. For 1, it is a support and quick release. For 2, it is down. Sometimes it gets bad, but with practice, you'll be able to get what you want most of the time (not 100% but... I always get a wrong result sometimes).

    Hope that helps!

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with the new upgrade to 6.0 software bundle 2534 v6.0.0.570

    Hi - I hope someone can help me with this:

    I have synced my Bold 9700 with my office yesterday and the Office Manager asked that I have to perform a software upgrade for the device.

    When my BB 9700 had fully charged this process, there was a completely different interface and a lot of my settings were changed. I did not have enough time to examine in detail all the changes, but the most annoying is the loss of my 'classic' ringtone I went into the menu for ringtones, which seems to have lost weight considerably from the previous version. The new series of rings are not to my taste and there is nothing like ringing of old boy available. Rings of the closest only once and the volume is not enough - I already missed several calls as a result.

    I'm with O2 through the Carphone Warehouse, which the customer could not attend yesterday.

    Grateful for any advice on how I can get my ringtone back - and also curious to know why the BB the new ring tones are good enough for this new version. They are declassified in my opinion.

    Thank you very much

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with the text in the window of typing

    someone had problems with the display of the words/text when you type an e-mail or text message? This just started happening to me on a week where the text seems as if someone cut the bottom of half of each letter (i.e. him 'y' now looks like a 'v'). Once I hit the button send the text in its entirety will display correctly, but as I type you can see part of it. I couldn't find someone on the Board who had similar problems, but someone else has encountered this and know how to possibly fix?

  • Using blackBerry Smartphones with BB storm on low memory, everything runs slow

    I was installing apps 6 or 7 in my BB Storm and the memory of the app became only 4 MB of free space, amything ran incredibly slowly, allways appearing at the small shows with the arrow running and low memory message. I deleted all the apps and just left those coming with the BB Storm whe I bought (Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, Blackberry Messenger Flick, Myspace, Maps, Google maps, live vodafone, vodafone music), but remains low on memory, once I deleted applications just 10 MB on a 128 MB total; That maybe she that is using 118 MB? Always slow; When I restart up to become the sgain it can be 15 minytes or 20. What can I do to win some memory?

    Apps that came with BB stomr that I do not like flick and my space and little more when I touck the menu button I have no option to delete or archive them to the SD 8 gigabytes memory or to the memory of the device.

    What can I do? I'm really disappointed by Blackberry; What is the importance of developing a large AppStore of world if only 1 or 2 apps in memory memory full rim app meke? why they app store if it is useless that store, impossible to install any application without making the slow memory, just 1 or 2 maximum applications.

    An advisor to my app memory anymore? What can be done my very complete app id, I was already deleted 6 or 7 apps I buy?

    I live in Spain and here there is no technical service for BB, I told the shop of phones (vodafone provider) but they don't give me any help.

    When I bought a BB, I thought it was more than a phone, but now I see I can use only as a phone and a little more.

    Best regards

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with the re-activation of account e-mail via Blackberry Enterprise server - Help!

    I have a Blackberry Bold 2 e-mail accounts (personal and business). Recently, I upgraded my Vodafone contract for only part of SIM and was able to keep my old SIM card. My personal email works fine but the business Edition should be re-activated. Instructions were to validate my password via the Blackberrry using the configuration or via the browser on my computer icon. Both options have failed because of the following:

    BlackBerry: received message that Blackberry Enterprise server has not responded to my request. An error has occurred. There are 5 possible reasons being given and I do not know how to rectify one of them.

    Browser on my computer: Incorrect ID or password. Made several attempts with different entries (don't know if my ID is my e-mail address and password for that or my Blackberry).

    Can anyone suggest how I can do this move? Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I think you need to talk to Vodafone to ensure that your data plan still includes services / BES-level... such is required for full use of BES.

    You should also talk to your BES admins... they, well, all control.

    Good luck!

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones with the upgrade of OS 9360 BB

    Hello all, this "my first post here, so I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this post, but I would like help on my Curve 9360.

    Recently I acquired a need for Japanese input in my Blackberry and made surfing around the net, including this forum for help.

    Later, I downloaded OS for installation, first try 7.0.0.400/jAllLang of WIND Mobile and the second attempt of OS 7.0.0.319 - BlackBerry Handheld Software v7.0.0.1555 (all languages - jAllLang under the recommendation of support forums

    After you follow the steps to "recharge" my OS from "How to reload your OS" thread also said forums that included backup phone, using the BB Desktop Manager and Loader.exe, my phone should still offer the possibility of Japanese input.

    Currently, the software version is 7.0 Bundle 1555 or if the Desktop Manager and my phone shows.

    Note that my knowledge and my issue with this camera is nowhere near competent, so I could probably have messed up somewhere or my technological illiteracy probably mistook me versions of OS and steps.

    Really appreciate any help regarding this, or if any alternative means to get the language. You need to get the Japanese input on the phone as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello! Welcome to the forums.

    Thank you for your question on the addition of Japanese input on your BlackBerry.

    I would like to ask if, the operating system you have downloaded your carrier or a different carrier/country? If not, did you deleted the vendor.xml file?

    If so, I suggest to reconnect your phone on a PC and open the Desktop Manager, click application (it can take moments of loading). There you can see languages and different applications. If there are Japanese it click the small + button next to it and install it.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    Thank you.  I had been in the Office Manager several times try to configure how to synchronize my contacts.  I didn't know you could actaully highlight the address Word Book 1) checkboxes because, then 2) when you run the mouse over your cursor - it is not previously put in highlight letting you know that you can select.  So, long story short once I understood actually clicking on the word would choose what I wanted to change, which would activate the button below.

    Yay.  This works.  Thanks again.
