BlackBerry smartphones, you can do the storm (or "BOLD") work with sprint?

I was wondering if it was possible to get a storm or "BOLD" and unlock or other and operate fully with my sprint account?

never messed with phone unlock or using different with another carrier? If possible what should I do?

You can unlock a storm or "BOLD" device and then use it with any network GSM/EDGE, like Orange, AT & T or T-Mobile.

but these models are not compatible with the Sprint network. Here is the complete list of compatible with the Sprint network devices:

current generation:
Pearl 8130
Curve 8330
Curve 8350i
Curve 8350i no camera

previous generation:
8830 world Edition

older generation:
7130e

  • BlackBerry smartphones, you can do the texts to vibrate when the phone is off?

    Hi all

    Is there a way to have texts that a single person come through when my phone is off?  I know I have a few exceptions already who can call me when the phone is switched off, but can you do this with text too?

    Thank you

    Arlene

    Update... I thought about it!  Somehow all my profiles and exceptions have been erased when I installed a new application.

  • BlackBerry smartphones you can turn off Instant Messaging?

    I find that annoying when I go out announcement on, people actually believe that I am in my office on my computer, so they must be seeing that my Yahoo Instant Messenger is set to 'online' or something?

    is it possible to hide or disconnect when I like?  obviously without turning off my phone.

    TIA

    You cannot set your status with Yahoo?

    I know that you can activate the application completely off it you want.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv - connection to the computer as a drive with cable...

    You can connect the Priv a PC with the cable to access as a drive, especially for access to the SD card?   I had assumed would be immediate, easy, but the laptop does just not see it connected...?

    Some good news.

    Finally, I can get it to connect, but better as "Mount SD card", do not use Android file transfer.

    Certainly, there are only going to transfer different files Android app link provided in the MTP option in the phone under settings, buffer, top right options - USB connection to the computer, I had to kind of work, but I think it's a one-way arrangement therefore does not allow fiddling with files or data on the SD card.

    With the option of mounting SD, its worth knowing that the phone is not yet recognized, you need to pass options while its connected, so when switching back to Mount SD, it appears suddenly!

    I managed to move some files autour, and if I drop in the DCIM folder, Camera leader, they then appear within the app Photos, without the need to got to the unit records.

    Is worth knowing when you're connected, more, but not all of them simply disappear with the handset, but all are in their proper place, moved or otherwise, 30 seconds or more after the disconnection.

    Question NEXT, related to this, but could start anew thread; In my photos, I always kept a photograph or a scan of my passport, driving licence and stuff, amazing how much it is useful.  Priv does not read this map file, even if its same region in Photos.  The Passport can be pdf, is it possible to move files between the laptop and Priv autour so that it can read the docs and other things or is it possible to create a file on the SD card where the docs can be submitted and read by the priv...?  Indeed, where are the docs on Priv?  Ive schedules of my son on the map, but they do not seem to appear anywhere in the private and they are the .docx files.

    Thank you.

  • 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.

    Hmmm... release information can be found here:

    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.

  • You can protect the parameters in an iPad with an access code that is not the same as that which opens the iPad?

    When I let someone use my iPad, I want to make sure they do not get in my settings. The access code that opens the iPad is not very secure because people could easily see enter me when I opened my iPad. When I go into settings/safari/passwords, he asks me my PASSWORD SETTINGS. That seems to imply that someone at Apple to a thought moment there will be a separate passwcode for settings. Why isn't there one?

    There is no access code 'settings' to prevent someone from getting your settings.

    There is a password of 'restrictions' which can be used to prevent a user from doing a number of things, such as installing applications, or using Bluetooth, etc..

    Restrictions of use on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support

    As a bank card PIN, just be aware when you enter your password for the device that you cannot be seen that. Put yourself in an authentication code more secure as to 6 digits or alphanumeric characters for greater security. But don't forget your access code or you run the risk of losing all the data on your device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones unable to disable the alarm on Bold 9700

    On the 'page' clock, there is a red symbol that looks like a BB or a keyboard & there 09:00 there too... I went into the settings of the alarm & have been unable to remove this alarm. I don't know what it is.   Also, on the homepage, there is a tiny clock symbol. Can someone help me with this?

    Ordinary clock radio:

    1. In the clock, press the Menu key.
    2. Click set alarm.
    3. On the trackpad, slide your finger upward or down to select. Drag your finger to highlight on or weekdays.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Application memory depletes the Torch 9810, OS 7.1

    Hello

    For a few weeks with in a day or two, the free Application reaches 10 MB memory. Rebooting frees memory, but just for a day. I have questions-
    1. is there a way to increase the memory of the Application? Other messages it does not seem possible, but thought I'd ask.
    2. How can I find what is stored in the memory of the App? I have more than 120 MB that says: "Other" in "Application Management" (about 80 MB for app). This 120Mo continues to grow over time. Do not know if I have accidentally stored anythinh here, but not there at - there a way to know what is this 'other '?
    3. is there a tool that can find what app or anything else is causing the memory increase?
    4. is it possible that some app has led to this problem or I recorded a video, etc. to the memory of the App?

    I always had more than 100 MB of free space in the memory application in recent weeks. I removed all of the apps I have installed in the past weeks, but nothing helped.

    Any help is appreciated... Sorry for the long post, wanted to be more descriptive as possible ;-)

    See you soon,.
    Vikram

    You have two questions.  First of all, 65 MB of free space of the Application memory is not much.  Something is to take memory.  Load any new request when it started?  Do you use a card multimedia for pictures and videos?

    Second, OS earlier than I posted have problems with the 'leak' free memory down to 0 over a period of time.  At how fast depends on how much is free to start.  I would like to update your operating system with the version in the instructions below:

    1. first download the OS for the 9810 here: https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=BE1DF9A5D08724971F64A511E24FC904

    2 make a manual backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. You can get the BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    3. download the OS from step 1 of the file on the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

    4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also, check the following locations for the vendor.xml file and delete all instances of the file:

    On Windows Vista/7, go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research in XML Motion\BlackBerry\Loader (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

    On Windows XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application is In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

    5. connect the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader.  Follow the prompts to update the operating system to the new version you downloaded.

    Once this is done take a look at the free memory space.  What is - what now?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I get the bolt thunder wallpaper shown in BlackBerry101 for the storm?

    My Verizon Blackberry 9530 shows the wallpaper loaded by Verizon (a big check) but I want to replace it with the image of a stormy sky and lightning shown in the tutorial 101 for BlackBerry storm.  Can someone please send me this image file or a link to it?

    You can find the photo of lightning on the internet and import it into the memory card in your device. When you sign in you BB on your computer, you should be able to see it as another drive (if you have set up in Mass Storage. Otherwise go to options, memory and select 'Yes' to support mass storage).

    I found the photo here http://www.blackberrystormwallpaper.com/nature-wallpaper/lightning-storm/.

    Once you have imported the image into the memory of your device, disconnect the device from your computer. Go to 'Media', click on images and find the photo. Select it (without clicking), click on the BB button and click on "set as home screen Image".

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I STOP the storm looking for new e-mail messages?

    I've had the storm for a few days now, and it's my first BB, so maybe it's why it looks like such a simple question.

    Here's the question: I created 3 accounts on the storm, and they work fine. However, when I'm at work or at home in front of a computer (which is most of the time) I am not interested in having the choice of the storm to the top of every email that I receive because I'm reading them on the computer and then I have to delete them on the storm. I would like to be able to check your email on the storm only when I want, but I can't seem to find the setting that will allow for this.

    A little help, please!

    Thanks in advance,

    -M.

    I have a similar situation as you and there is a way to stop the emails any time. Go to the full menu and open the installation folder. Open here the e-mail configuration. Your email accounts will appear in the upper part. Highlight the one you want to temporarily stop and pop the menu and select filters. There are two options. Foward messages on device and do not forward messages. Do not transfer the right choice. They then record at the bottom. You can create a shortcut on the home screen moving the installation of e-mail folder if you can access this option quickly on a daily basis.

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry smartphones, you respond to text Messages on the 9320

    Well today, I had my first couple of messages from a couple of buddies of mine, and I'm completely confused here just how to respond to them and how do you know that they have been sent.

    The manual for the Blackberry Curve 9320 is totally wrong with the way she described to do, and the usual topics that are on every other mobile, I had like to click on something and hit the word response does not exist on this phone from what I see.

    When I read the text of people message there is a bar in which you can type in, and it says press R to answer. I have done this and typed something and as you is gone and you press the Send button. But that brings up a box asking if I want to call the person. So I thought well lets you press back on the Qwerty keyboard. So I did, and I don't know if his Envoy that I can't find anywhere on the phone who tells you your message is sent.

    Could someone help here, because they seem to have made many a supermarket changing here with this 9320 in comparison with the 8520.

    Hi intruder 461,

    You said we had the problem in responding to text Messages, well I'll try: when someone sends you a Message and when you open it you will see a bar below, if you want to reply to this message just type in this Bar and press the button Menu (icon blackberry) how has your trackpad moved top down you can see the send option Just click, or in short, after writing just press the Enter key to send the message.

    And if you are composing a new text message, click the message text icon click the Menu key and with your trackpad click Composer. the text Message then the Message screen at the top where it is written as. (Here you have enter the name or the Contact to whom you want to send the message) Then write your message in the bar and send it as above mentioned.

    To confirm the message has been sent or not, click on the text message icon on your home screen, then you can see all the names or the contacts of all messages that you have received or sent, to confirm the press on all contact that you send message and if its been sent then it will be marked as the right top.

    I hope you understand. Enjoy and take care

Maybe you are looking for
