BlackBerry Z10 locking vs encryption

Greetings,

What is the difference between a device lock and encrypt? I realize that this may seem obviouse to some, but this is an example where simply a locking device does not provide sufficient protection?

Thank you

Shane.

Locking: as lock combination on a newspaper. If you don't know the combination, you're not open the newspaper. But if someone enter and the newspaper is in plain text format, then the log (memory, for example) can be read.

Encryption: When enabled, the content of the log (memory) is encoded so that it cannot be read in plain text directly (from the material) and can only be decoded with the key.

Setting a password is a wise thing to do and the single most effective thing you can do to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of information if someone gets hands on your device, for example, if you lose the device.   Encryption does not hurt, maybe reduced performance light, but questionable if the consumer needs on the memory of the device, but you'll probably want to use on the removable memory.

Be aware that if you enable encryption on the card device BB10 and wipe the device, you will not be able to read the data on the card that has been stored before erasing.

    Hello

    I agree with @JSanders , once it is dry that the BBID is therefore more about Fanta devic, you can start the original game from the phone to the new BBID on it.

  • BlackBerry Blackberry Z10 locked 10.2.1

    The phone was working fine until I went to connect it to the BB link to perform a backup, then he asked me the password for my phone as BB link normally would. Now the password on my phone is the picture password but that was just asking for a password then I typed the password old text I had, but that has not worked. Then I typed the number I use the photo but password that does not work either. Tried several times until I got to 5 tries without success. Went to my phone and it said there were 5 attempts at this password, when you reach 10 that will wipe the device. Good so I tried to unlock the phone from the phone and he asks a password in the new text, and not the picture password. Typed my old password text but no luck.

    So now I'm completely locked out of my phone, I tried my password BBID, but who do not have too. I could wipe and restore from previous backup, I had, but it's a few weeks now and I don't understand why this is happening.

    Unfortunately, I decided to have just the phone wipe so I will restore the backup I had before and all my settings are there.

    After being over at Crackberry forum as well, I think that I just had a brain PET and could ' t remember the password I used when putting on the picture password. Thought it was my original password, but apparently not. I tried another but which was my last attempt and it wasn't fair.

    Phone take it off now and then that I'll have to restore the backup. * sigh *.

    You will need to do a security wipe (reset) and then restore your data with link if you made a backup.

  • BlackBerry Z10 Z10 MEP0 - locked Sim Card

    Hi all

    I have a very simple problem, but it doesn't seem to be documented

    I have a Blackberry Z10 with my french carrier Orange

    I've received from them a network unlock code (an official)

    I tried this code 10 times and now my camera works fine, but refuse to unlock the network

    I introduce the original SIM card, but it will not unlock the net work. I can't use my phone, even with my Orange SIM card

    "One or more of your network codes are blocked. This preveting your device to use the Mobile network. Please contact your service provider.

    When I contact my service provider "Orange EN" they do not understand and ask me to contact Blackberry "

    What can I do?

    After ten attempts have been used, you only a few choice to unlock the device.

    There are three ways and only three, to achieve this goal.

    * Purchase a MEP code MEP unlocking unlock Internet provider. Be wise and be sure to buy one with a good reputation and good reviews and comments.

    * IF your unit is under warranty, contact your technical support service provider. Tell them that you have this problem that needs to be remounted at the RIM customer service level. I'll warn that most of the technical support people carrier assume first and think that you are talking about security of the release device, and you have to convince them of the contrary and explain clearly what you need. THEY will not be able to help you because the carriers themselves cannot unlock a device that had the code MEP attempts exhaustion and should (and you have to ask) to have the case escalated to a medium technical level RIM.
    * If your camera is out of warranty, contact directly the RIM. See the information to reach us from the Web site: http://ca.blackberry.com/contact/ the options that you want to select to talk to the BlackBerry customer service are 3 (for requests of information, orders, billing, e - RMA etc.) then 5 (e - RMA and warranty).

    Make sense? Good luck.

  • Lost blackBerry Z10 phone

    Magalie

    Today, I have a bad day. I lost all the money this month (I'm a student), and the worst is that I lost my blackberry z10 . When I knew I lost it, I was very angry.although it is an old phone, I purchase form someone else, but with me, it's a treasure and a friend. I'm going to protect.blackberry.com, then replace 'Flag as stolen', because I want the thief have only a brick. but now I think that if the thief do not turn the data or does not connect with a wifi then sell it to another people. It is verry bad for them. They lose money from verry for a brick. (I live in vietnam, security is not high, I don't want to aggravate some for someone, but I don't want someone not know my data on my phone, I install 10.3.2, I don't know what happens to my data on my SD card, I want to, it can be earsed).
    You can check what is happening with my data, as it can be not to connect to the internet.
    Thank you verry much!

    Oh sorry for your loss!

    Your inserted SD card is not affected by Protect or whatever it is. To protect your card data SD Media you would have needed to have the encryption on the card.

    No, you can't.

  • BlackBerry Z10 not able to update

    Hey I m using blackberry z10 STL100-1 10.2.1.3062. When I'm trying to update my os, there is evidence that you have the latest version of the software. Please help me how to upgrade my os from 10.2 to 10.3

    Unbranded means not labeled by carrier. I don't want to say locked. That you bought a BlackBerry AT & T of the Amazon and unlocked, it is still an AT & T BlackBerry.

    If you have a Z10 without mark, remove the SIM card and try again check an update. For more details, see http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB36767

    My required daily BBZ10 my sim card pin code, what should I do to prevent this?

    I'm not reachable when I'm on call to work during the night because of this.

    Thanks a lot for some feedback

    Hi Ginodesoomer,

    Welcome to the support community!

    Looks like you have security enabled on your SIM card. You can disable this option to avoid to be invited for the PIN. Please see this article for more information. "" Enter PIN"is displayed when the BlackBerry smartphone is locked" KB18647

    You can disable this on your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone in settings > privacy and security > SIM card > SIM Lock card PIN.

    Please let me know if that helps.

  • Situation Terrible Z10 blackBerry with Terminal device - BlackBerry Z10 STL-1

    Hello. I have a great difficulty.

    I'm a big fan of BB devices. Some time ago (about 1 month) I bought a BlackBerry Z10 new, sealed. The reliable eBay with "eBay Giving works" seller that is managed by PayPal Givinf Gund.

    The only problem - is that I am living in countries that are NOT supported by BlackBerry at all. Belarus (Belarus). With my work, sometimes I leave (Russia, Poland, Germany) and I can activate my Z10.

    In my country, all the 'usual' phone services works great, calls, internet with a local carrier, currently I use Velcom. But its suddenly yesterday morning, my phone has become "Device PIN Blocked.".

    It's terrible, I don't even understand WHY? What is the mechanism of the use of BlackBerry, follow or do something else that blocks normal users?

    OK, I understand that my country is not in the list. But I can't use m big phone, no worries. It works.

    I use my phone not only in Belarus, I am an engineer in a large COMPUTER company and sometimes I go abroad, and I want to use my phone without this kind of stories.

    I bought my phone from a seller 100% legal, which is supported by PayPal, which gives funds. I'm the one who opens a box sealed with the phone. I'm the only one who has used this phone at all. For the past two weeks, I use my Z10 with 2 SIM cards in a business trip.

    And what now? The phone is locked.

    Is this ok? Billion devices worldwide works very well even in those countries as my native - Belarus! But the only mystical problem related to the BlackBerry. There are hundreds of topics in internet with a similar problem.

    I love you, BlackBerry, and I know that your position on this market. In situations where the actual users are denied and spit in the face by the company, the company was under the market. It's unacceptable, disrespectful and ugly!

    I don't even know how to restore my phone. I need my phone back. Extremely.

    I have all THE information on the seller, links, much, bills! I have an original box, I have ALL. And 'Device PIN blocked'.

    This problem IS NOT related to my service provider. They don't even know about this kind of blocks. And it is a problem of BlackBerry.

    I can provide more information on my phone. Please, I beg you.  I don't want to forget the BlackBerry.

    * Deleted *.

    I restarted Factory Reset but created new BlackBerry ID and activated my phone with that ID, it seems to work now.
    I don't know why and how. But it works. I hope it won't happened again.

    Thank you all for the help and answers. I really appreciate that.
    Peace

  • BlackBerry Z10 Default earpiece/Headset Bluetooth / output Audio Plug

    During the drive, I have a kit hands free bluetooth (speaker jabra) and I have the audio output taken mini plugged into my car for audio (stereo / music).

    During audio playback to my car, it uses the audio Jack very well, the problem is when I receive a call, I want to use the bluetooth headset device instead.

    Now when I receive a call, the audio of the call is routed to the mini taken and I have to manually select the helmet after answering the call which is a pain in the...

    Is there a way to set the default device for different outputs.

    for example

    Use the mini as the audio device output by default when the music plays.

    When I get a call, use the headset as default device bluetooth for phone calls.

    When I hang up, swinging back to the mini taken (because it is the default device for audio)

    In addition,

    I ordered the bridge thinking music that he could solve my problem.

    Will I have the same problem with it when 2 bluetooth devices are connected? for example, the audio gateway and my bluetooth headset.

    Should be able to assign the bluetooth services specific to the results of the default value.

    for example Audio > mini plug if it is present as a default value if no, he can use bluetooth

    Calls > bluetooth headset.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Dave

    The Blackberry music gateway solves this problem (kind of) works better... when the two jabra or any other headset device is connected and the music gateway is connected it muffles call correctly and works correctly...

    The new problem is introduced only if you have a headset (bluetooth or hands-free headset) that also supports music services. (The two compete to connect to theses services)

    I suggest buying a hands-free device that does not support music services (only a helmet) and then you should not meet for the problem below

    Read this new thread to see the solution to this new problem, if it still exists.
