Button lock button / Smartphone blackBerry on 9700

Is it possible to disable the unlocking function of this button?

I have defined LHS convenience to unlock the phone, which is great as you, then press on *, then the green button to unlock. However, a simple press up while it is in a pocket or something, and the thing unlocked and likely to make calls!

Help, please. Apart from that, I like the 9700.

OK - Thanks for the reply. A shame really - sort of defeated the purpose of a lock key if a key turns off.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9700 for ORANGE bought in the UK, but never used does not work with TELSU SIM in the Canada

    I had a Blackberry Bold 9700 as a gift.  I think it was made for the Orange network in the United Kingdom ('Orange' written at the bottom of the BlackBerry in the front).  I tried to use it with my TELUS account in Canada with TELUS SIM.  The Blackberry does not register any wireless network signal.  The meter of signal display "SOS" only and no TELUS network is avaiable.  My position is Mississauga (Ontario) and Telus wireless covers this area for sure.  I checked that the device is not locked by going to Options-Advanced-online SIM card and typing MEPD Options Online.  The options that appear to say 'off '.  The device seems to read the SIM card because the SIM card # appears.

    Y at - it someone who has the same problem and its resolution.  A large part in this regard, the obligation for any input.

    Hello

    I just discovered the reason for BB does not not with TELUS that I wanted to inquire about registration CDMA you mentioned...

    A smart guy, he asked me to check the frequency bands that supports my BB.  Its sub Options => on.  "3 G bands" that supports my BB are 1, 4, and 8.  These correspond to the IMT 2100 MHz, AWS 1700 MHz and GSM 900 MHz respectively.  The frequencies that TELUS uses in the Canada are groups 1, 2, 5 and 6.

    So, finally tech TELUS came with the answer that my BB is designed to work with some UK frequencies and not with TELUS frequencies in the Canada.

    I've misunderstood and used the term incorrectly HARD LOCK.  The BB I have shows all the options as "disabled" when I go into options in advance-online SIM card and press the MEPD.  Also if I press MEP2 unit not asks me to input MEP codes.  Nothing happens.  This led me to believe that this device is not locked to ORANGE network so the lack of a better term, I used little HARD LOCKED.

    Much obliged for your entry.  It has been enlightening.  Thank you very much.

    It's good, it means that the connection to the USB port on your handset is good.

    I know that you may have tried this... but try again. New charger, new battery, charger different, different load location (another outlet). "You have a DC car charger, try it).

    The Blackberry Bold 9700 from telus will work in Timmins in ontario?  Will's use of Rogers GSM bands?   I'm better off getting the Curve 8530, which is a CDMA phone?

    Thanks for the comments, I need to know before you buy.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry bold 9700

    Hello

    Is there anyone out there who can help me? How can I activate the GPS function in my blackberry? There is no GPS icon in the home screen of my blackberry.

    The 9700 has a built-in GPS.

    If you show no BlackBerry Maps as an icon, check that it is installed in Options > Advanced > Applications. Look in the upper right and check the additional applications.

    If not intalled, use your BlackBerry browser to go to www.blackberry.com/maps and install it.

    You can also use Google Maps... m.google.com/maps

    To refresh the GPS:

    On any Blackberry model, first make sure that you in a area of signal coverage is good AND outside with a clear view of the sky view in an open no skyscraper area.

    For devices on GSM network, follow these steps:
    Click Options > Advanced > GPS > Menu > refresh GPS.
    Give up 10 minutes to refresh and try 2 or 3 times in a row.
    For model 9800:
    1. on the home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
    2. click on the device > location settings.
    3. press the Menu button > refresh GPS.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry bold 9700 shift key stuck and the joystick

    Hello

    I don't know if anyone has experienced this before.

    Woke up this morning I noticed my shift button (the one on the right side) stuck from time to time. If I press it, it goes, however he returned a few minutes later. I thought at first, that my joystick works, but it's this thing. I disassembled the blackberry and even then it does.

    The joystick is also up. Now it does nothing. I am devastated.

    Any idea?

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered. Really, it is more common than you think.
    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
    4. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):
    * Place the BB in a container of rice uncooked dry, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    * On top of any heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    * On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9700 will not ring

    Hello guys. I have a problem with my BB Phone. It does not ring. When people try to contact me, it just doesn't sound. I have v.5.0.0.586. I tried rebooting by removing the battery, but still the same problem. Could someone help me please?

    Hi BiancaBogdan

    It's fine if your device passes self-test.

    Have you tried to change your ringtone to any default ringtone?

    If the problem persists, then it could be a software problem, but this is my personal advice to stay on OS 5, because the Bold 9700 doen't have enough memory to run OS6, you can install it on your Bold 9700 OS6 but you will have to confront the issue with little memory, will not be able to install the application a lot , multiple tabs, you may experience problems such as freezing and trolling device. I suggest that you should stay on OS5 and try to perform a clean OS Reload that will correct any software problem.

    first make a backup of your device using desktop software:

    KB12487 : How to backup BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry desktop software for Windows

     

    Then follow this KB to recharge your device software:

    KB11320  : How to perform a reload own BlackBerry Device using BlackBerry desktop software for windows software

     

    After charging, do not restore any 3rd party application from your backup, choose a selective restore, restore only your Contacts, calendar, memo etc. Check your device and see if the problem resolves. If the problem continues then you can start with the native BlackBerry application and continue with the others.

    Try it and tell us your progress.

     

     

  • Question of locking keyboard Smartphones blackBerry 8800

    I have a problem with my 8800 about the blocking of the keys and keyboard convenience. I put my convenience key to lock my keyboard, but it has stopped working. The convenience key is always set to this function, but it simply does not work now. I have a pain to go to the menu every time to do. Don't you think that the convenience key has just broken? Is there another simple method, that is to say 2 buttons in order to lock the keyboard?

    Thank you

    I found it, hold down the ALT and enter keys together. Thanks for your help

  • Smartphones blackBerry BB 9700 - peripheral does not work beyond a minute

    Hello

    I've updated the software of my BB Bold 9700 ver 5.0 to 6.0 Bundle 2475 worm. Now when I restart my machine, it works well for around a minute but then it gets hung and I can't use it any more. I tried to connect with BB Desktop Software but the problem persists. Please provide a solution for this. One of the reasons for this could be inadequate phone memory. So is there a way I can get back to ver 5.0 now?

    Hi nikitshah1790

    Its a choice the user is he wants to stay on OS6 on the bold 9700, but 15 MB is not leaving a good memory to run your BlackBerry smartphone, you can't open multiple tab on your browser at any time or can not run more then two applications to an instance or your device will freeze or crash.

    You can try to remove language packs from your device, it will give some media of memory.enable support on the card device, also make a regular backup of all of your messages or emails and delete all old messages at regular intervals, otherwise they will be removed from the unit due to low memory. Please go through this Knowledge Base on how to increase free memory:

    KB14320  How to maximize the battery life and available memory on the BlackBerry smartphone.

     

    Once you have install OS 6 on your device previous OS 5 is no longer on your device has been deleted automatically. After any OS update, we should try those below mentioned step which I think he's going to solve all your problems related to connectivity of devices to your network.

    1 - Save your pocket computer.

    3. and then do a restart of battery like that pull while the device is powered on remove your battery wait for a min. then reinsert back
