• BlackBerry Blackberry Storm Smartphones - does not light (red light)

  Hi all

  Recently, I dug my Blackberry Storm out of his box and tried to use it again. Unfortunately, it not light.

  I can plug it into my computer (Mac) and the red light comes on. He will stay on until I open the Blackberry Desktop Manager how the phone starts a cycle of rebooting. Every now and then it stops on a symbol of the battery with a slash through it (are there no battery in the phone), but the second, I try to connect to it via the Blackberry software it restarts again.

  I tried the JML encoder or whatever his program called and every time it tries to connect to the phone, the phone restarts.

  This is as far as I know:

  Carrier: Verizon

  Phone: Blackberry Storm (to 2008)

  Computer: Mac

  Program: Blackberry Desktop Software 2.4.0 (Build 17)

  My phone is out of warranty and since he began to send me in trouble in 2009 I switched to Android. I've never had a problem with Android, so I forgot to go back and see what was wrong with my Blackberry. I hope someone can help out me. I can't really 'take to verizon' because their solution is swap out today just for a working one, but since it's out of contract. / warranty, they will tell you simply throw me. I live in Los Angeles, perhaps someone someone actually knows phones Blackberry of PATCHES. I know it's a new idea.

  Thanks, I hope someone can help!

  In your situation, a 507 is actually a good thing... 507 means that the BB has no OS installed in it, but at least it turn on now.

  I don't know how do to recover it through MAC... all of the stuff I know applies to the PC. You might find some MAC-specific help in our MAC-specific forum:

  • supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Desktop-Software-for-Mac/BD-p/blackberryformac

  Everything what I've heard, none of the stuff to get over this is for MAC, so if you have access to a Windows PC, you can perform the following procedure, which removes as "automatic" search/download OS that fails on your MAC and replace it with what you control:

  1) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

  (2) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:BBsoftwareesktopSoftware & Cal = us: bbsoftware

  (3) download and install to your PC, the BB OS package you want:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  4) remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
  • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

  (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone Internet browser issues

  I use a Blackberry Storm with a Verizon data plan.

  My phone is able to connect to my email server and works very well in this regard.  I can also use the Opera browser to browse the internet without fail.

  Problems arise whenever I try to navigate with the default browser.  If I click on a bookmark saved on my home page, and then I am able to navigate successfully to the bookmark url.  However, I can never establish a connection every time I enter a url on my own, or do a google/wikipedia search, etc...

  So, basically, I can't navigate with my default blackberry internet browser.

  I already tried this troubleshooting:

  historic compensation and cache, doing resets from phone, deactivation and reactivation of the RF connection... still nothing is helping.

  Without leaving the browser, I can still click on a bookmark and the internet works, however, whenever I enter a url or a search on the home page item, the browser fails and gives me the following message is displayed:

  "A communication failure has occurred with the chosen Mobile Data Service.  The server may be busy, please try again later.  If the problem persists, contact your administrator.

  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

  It's easy: in the options of the browser, set the default browser as "Internet browser" instead of "Blackberry Browser".

• Application of quick launch of blackBerry storm Smartphones

  I love QuickLaunch for this purpose, instant on instant access to your selected speed dials, SMS and e-mail more quickly so the apps and features.

  http://www.blackberrynews.com/2009/01/28/QuickLaunch-is-a-must-have-app-for-BlackBerry-storm/

  Reviewing Xandrex...

  I just installed it on my device.

  Here is the list of what I can add to the quick launch menu:

  Standard applications :

  • Add Camera
  • Add video camera
  • Add Call Log Erase
  • Add the calculator
  • Add info on the device
  • Add Bluetooth Config
  • Add some Options of BB
  • Add the calendar
  • Add BB Maps
  • Add Contacts
  • Add to the event log

  Hyperlinks :

  • Add Url (no matter what URl, but cannot choose the options like a bookmark)
  • Add phone call (can type a phone number or choose from the list of Contacts)
  • Add Email (can type an e-mail address or choose from the list of Contacts)
  • Add SMS (can type a number of mobile, to choose amongst the list of contacts)
  • Add file (Image, Audio, Video, etc.)

  Applications that can be selected :

  • net_rim_bb_qm_google---> (perhaps GoogleTalk) causes "Eception Exception: DSC: duplicate Sync Collection.
  • net_rim_bb_messagin_app (app Messages)
  • net_rim_phone_app (phone application)
  • TalkLock (should not appear since it is a demon and not a real application, I have not tried adding and clicking on it if)
  • net_rim_qm_peer (Blackberry Messenger)

  Other applications I have installed and which can not be selected :

  • Open the keyboard (standard)
  • VLingo
  • Opera Mini (4.2 for J2ME devices)
  • TyperSpeed
  • BerryStore (beta)
  • YouTube
  • Google Maps
  • Google Mail
  • BOLT (beta)
  • Memory cleaner
  • BrickBreaker
  • Word Mole
  • Tiltris

  Pros :

  • It is an application very well for common applications & access
  • You can assign it to a side convenience key
  • You can change the order of items in the list
  • cheap

  Disadvantages : all applications installed on the device can not be selected.

  Final thoughts :

  • I would have preferred to be able to open the keyboard and VLingo. Because of two, I can't use the application until I used to manipulate the storm differently.
  • I hope that there will be updates that I'll be able to download without paying a second time.

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone Versions and Java Support

  Hi all

  According to the information on the Web on Blackberry storm, they only have one 9530 version. Searching on the forums I could see some people talking about 9500 also, see info here. Now we only have one version now? Please correct my understanding.

  According to the information I have the Blackberry storm is released with Vodafone and Verizon. Vodafone is based GSM and Verizon CDMA based. So I guess that the storm supports both GSM and CDMA.

  It may be a silly question but still I ask. As devices based CDMA based generally Brew, I had a doubt, that where we have two versions of the storm, both supported by Java. As we develop applications using JDE4.7 will work on both versions.

  Please correct my understanding and provide information.

  Best regards

  Sandeep

  Hello

  the storm has two features: 9500 and 9530.
  9530 = 9500 + CDMA

  I use now a 9530 in France, where there is no CDMA. It is then exactly as if I had a 9500.

  Modern BlackBerry devices (with trackball or a touch screen) have an operating system that is made up of Java (and), as well as applications can be developed in Java for BlackBerry. You can find valuable information by clicking on the "DEVELOPERS" link at the top of this page.

  Java applets are not supported by the browser.

  Be careful which JDK you are using for your development.

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphones with Apple IMAC

  the storm has issues compatible with the IMAC?  I downloaded PocketMac and when I have my storm inside USB does not charge but no other recognition device.  If anyone can help?  Thank you.

  It is madness. We have to pay for software to sync with a mac, I'd maybe willing to drop money if the blackberry did not have it on their site, in the software section.

  and to make it worse, we have counselors on the official forums bberry almost looking down people who do not have a PC or want to use boot camp and told him to find a friend. Quite disappointed with the way things are going so far. He gave only a few months, but I thought complaints would be strictly phone interface problems, NOT something as silly that synchronize my calendar database files, notes and media.

  -sal

  P.S..there is actually a PATCH file that can be downloaded, good luck and if you are not happy. pay money for a program that should be using bberry.

  BlackBerry for Mac

  If you are a Mac user, it's easy for you to take full advantage of BlackBerry® smartphone *. PocketMac® for BlackBerry allows you to load new applications on your BlackBerry smartphone, as well as synchronize your emails, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes with popular Mac applications, including:

  • Email from mail.app

  • Address Book Contacts
  • iCal® calendar and tasks
  • Now up-to-date Contact® / Now® Contacts, calendars & tasks
  • Meeting Maker Contacts, calendar and tasks
  • Lotus Notes Contacts, calendar and tasks
  • Safari bookmarks (one-way synchronization)

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphones - problems syncing from Outlook XP calendar

  I wonder if anyone can help with this one?  I should explainthat have my Storm recently after a total Crash!

  When I sync my 9500 Storm with Outlook XP (after having set up for 2 way sync) the Contacts work very well I get 2 way sync.

  However with the calendar I xx yy elements to be added by the prospect of the folder which I don't want to do what I use the Outlook file to declare on my work habits for the tax year and items to remove!

  I'm out of office 4.7 even if, in theory, I downloaded version 5 and the storm is running 4.7.0.173

  It makes me crazy!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Since things seem to be a bit mucked up, I suggest the following steps (reboots insert a lot of restarting your PC... not only restarts, but at full power down). In addition, it is recommended that you are connected to the PC on an account with full administrator rights. In addition, Vista, use the option "Run As Administrator" for everything.

  (1) remove the package to update your device OS of your PC (Add/Remove Programs)

  (2) properly uninstall the RIM DTM software:

  • KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software

  (3) get a new RIM DTM software download:

  • http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
  • Choose the version which is more recent and (if any) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  (4) to download a new copy of your package to your carrier OS device (on your PC):

  • http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  (5) install DTM on your PC

  Installation of 6) (also on your PC), device OS package

  (7) start the configuration Organizer:

  • KB17022 How to configure applications to Organizer for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager

  If all goes well, who's going to make things again.

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphones do not highlight my selection

  Hey technical support form.

  Just recently started and don't know what I did!

  When I'm in my SMS folder my BB Storm accentuates not my selection in blue, as it does everywhere else before selecting the message. What I changed and how do I get that back! Help

  Whenever your BlackBerry acts weird:

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

  Then try the selection again in an SMS.

  Everything good?

• BlackBerry BlackBerry Storm Smartphones - 4G in the future?

  Hi all

  I've been a BlackBerry user for over 2 years now.

  I upgraded my Storm for the Storm2 for WiFi and the command buttons tight.

  I'm ready for an exchange of phone/upgrade with Verizon Wireless and I would like to know if Research in Motion/BlackBerry will present a storm (3) like a Smartphone 4gG?

  Anyone know?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  At this point, we don't know anything for some, but if I had to guess based on the recent announcement of Bold 9900/9930, I would expect that any new any touchscreen BlackBerry would probably offer HSPA + compatibility and/or 1XEV compatibility. But I don't think even as a LTE compatible phone (which will probably come in another year, once some of the kinks were developed and once the life of the battery on the LTE network has been improved).

  As an another heads-up, do not expect to see it called a Storm3. Based on my experience in the BlackBerry World, it seems that the name storm may now do.

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone keyboard does not

  So here's my problem: my keypad does not work. When I push a number nothing happens. The works of 0 and when I hold down the 1 goes to voicemail. When he goes to voicemail, however, where the numbers should be there are letters. If I have someone in my contacts, I can call but I can't dial their number. Everything else on the phone works. Email, SMS and browser all work to them. It is only the most basic function that will not work. I called Verizon and they helped me to restore and then an update, but that did not help. I went to the Verizon store and they said that all they can do is a clean cloth and restoration, the same thing I did over the phone. I then took it to Cell Phone Repair (CPR). They said that they have never seen him. And if they have ever seen, then it must be really screwed. Help, please!

  Hello

  I assume that you have already performed a traction battery without effect, correct? If this is the case, then I'll recommend a more radical action.

  First of all, start by saving the information on the device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and then disconnect your phone from your computer. Then, download and install the operating system on your computer from here: http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/download.aspx.

  Once you have your operating system installed on your computer, download and install a program called BBSAK from http://bbsak.org. After installing the program, plug your phone and open BBSAK. When you are prompted, type your BlackBerry password (if you do not have a password, just press ok). The PIN of your BlackBerry should then display to BBSAK. At this point, click Wipe Device. This will delete all data and the operating system of your phone and must leave an error 507 on your phone. Then, click Load OS. Now, this will open the file from the BlackBerry charger that allows you to reload the OS of your storm. Just follow the steps and then once your storm has restarted, you can open the BlackBerry Desktop Software, and restore your data. If you want to be really sure, just do a selective restore of the info that you need (messages, contacts, calendar, etc.). That you will protect, just in case the problem is in part due to a bad database.

  You should now be back running. If not, let me know, but if it's a software related issue, this should solve the problem.  As a final note, this will remove also all your third party apps, you'll then need to re-download those.  If you can, however, delay on that until you know for some that the problem has disappeared.

• Curve blackBerry Storm Smartphones vs

  Any thoughts on the storm? I'm new to bb and prob could not even afford to move as I am not anywhere near an all new the 2 face - but I was wondering what were the benefits to the storm, features, etc compared to the curve...

  have a blessed day and I'll sit back and read the answers.

  I waited for the "BOLD" or the storm that will be released in the United States for months ("BOLD" came out everywhere else)!  My curve was a year old and starting to fall out of use, so I had to get a new one last week.  I finally upgrade the OS 4.5.0.81 (on T-Mobile), and I'm very happy with the improvements!  Some of the things I like about the storm & "BOLD" are now available for the curve users upgraded, such as:

  -Functions of video broadcast

  -VCR

  -improved browser

  -HTML email for accounts not BES (I already paid for a HTML Viewer!)

  -.doc and .xls editing capabilities via the Documents To Go

  -Improvement of the BB Media Player (Playlists can now be created on the device, which is HUGE!)

  To specifically answer your question, here are some of the benefits of the storm, in my humble opinion:

  -Best camera - 3,2 Mpx vs 2.0MP

  -Touch screen which is the best on real market w/BB click technology (many users hate the iPhone touch)

  -More rapid processer

  -Storage capacity most out of the box (Althouogh I can now buy a microSD 16 GM for my curve as it is on OS4.5)

  -Orientations of w/portrain & landscape widescreen high resolution.  As good or better than the iPhone!

  -Network 3G super fast support!

  -Data AND voice functions!  Talk on the phone while sending/receiving e-mail.  It is only available for curve users who are on a WiFi network today.

  Now that I look at the list of improvements, the storm beat the pants off the curve, but I am happy that the new BlackBerry OS fills the void a bit.  It is not quite as urgent for me to rush out and buy the storm on the first day it came out.  I think I'll wait a week now...

• BlackBerry Storm Smartphone is not RINGING.

  From today my Blackberry just is does not ring when I get an incoming call.  I tried to restart the device and even out the battery for a minute.  Both solutions did not work.  I also tried to see if there was an update it missed me, no luck there either.

  Any help would be great.

  Finally, I fixed my problem.  I don't have a configuration of the profile under the sound options.  I set up a profile, the sound of the ringing starts work on incoming calls.

  Not sure if this will fix all problems, but it fixed mine.

  Thanks for the comments.

• BlackBerry storm smartphone synchronization problems

  Hello. I'm new to this forum. I just got the storm. I used to have the palm tx. When I open the bberry Desktop Manager and click on the device switch Wizard to synchronize my info from the Palm to the storm Office Manager, opens the window of the migration wizard. When I click Next, the window becomes "select desktop organizer", where I can choose the software to import from. But the options are not underlined, so I can't select the option of palm treo/Organizer. What's wrong?

  I know I have the Palm TX not the Treo, but I just want to download it from the desktop organizer that is the same for both. Both my Palm and the storm are connected to the computer and I have Windows XP Home Edition. My Palm Desktop Organizer is version 4.2, which is not on the list of the bberry Manager compatibility, but it is a later version, that shouldn't be a problem. Should I get a Treo (temporarily), synchronize it with my computer and then try to transfer the files to the storm? Or is the problem something else? Thank you.

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  I think that your Palm 4.2 is not compatible. The last article is 12/8 and ignores the right 4.2

  Thank you
