Classic classic BB on ATT, Verizon or T-Mobile BlackBerry

A friend has a classic, unlocked, BB, which is hosted on ATT. I'm trying to figure if she can use this phone on T - Mo or Verizon.

Looking at the specs I see hope and despair for Verizon: phone ATT has probably not CDMA, but apparently a Verizon phone has also GSM - if will be Verizon in USA support GSM phones? And there are a limited number of LTE frequencies that overlap. Classic ATT is usable on Verison?

If go to T - Mo, I imagine it's much more optimistic. Can someone enlighten me on the differeneces of frequency between ATT and T - Mo? The classic is likely to work as well on T - Mo?

Thanks for your help.

Without getting too deep into the bands etc, the short answer is AT & T and T-Mobile should work blued. About Verizon you are out of luck, they have GSM but it is for use outside the country, only so that they can offer the service worldwide, but the system is designed to let him not being here at home where CDMA is used.

Actually it's pretty easy, just put a T-Mobile sim in the phone and give it a try. Of course you must have service from T-Mobile to have a sim card. Or if you know somebody on T-Mobile, just borrow their sim if it is the same size and give it a try. I'd be willing to bet you could also stop by a TMO store and they let you try it.

  • Classic No. Lockscreen after update 10.3.2 blackBerry messages

    Hello

    Since the last update 10.3.2 I can´t see all of the locksreen messages. I´v already tried all stteings available on:

    http://helpblog.BlackBerry.com/2015/07/how-to-set-a-lock-screen-message-using-BlackBerry-10-OS-10-3-...

    and also any suggestions on this Web page:

    But I still can´t to see all messages on my lockscreen. The only thing I can see is the clock, and the taskbar from top.

    If there is no solution, is it possible to downgrade your software easily?

    Would be great if anyone of you has a tip for me

    This will show you only new messages and notifications, not those that you've already read.

    Also, if you are connected via your company, and they have disabled the lock screen notifications, you will not see them.

    And finally, if you have not set a password on the device, you might not see them either.

  • Request to release Verizon approved, but iphone 6 activation request

    Hello! I bought a phone used in the United States. It has been locked by Verizon. He approved my request for use of a Non-Verizon SIM, but iphone want activation for Ukranian sim.  model NG4Q2LL/A. What can I do? Is - this problem with my phone or some problem of carrier?

    All compatible with Verizon LTE phones are unlocked on the side GSM from the outset. It is not necessary to request an unlock. The phone was never locked in first. However, a Google search shows some conflicting reports as to whether it was a Verizon phone or not. I can't really say, as it seems that I got answers for AT & T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

    But, if it was Verizon, then it was never locked to begin with. I'm not sure what you are referring to here, "but iphone want activation for Ukrainian sim". Do you mean an error when you try to use a Ukranian SIM?

  • Can I connect a printer with a verizon 4G mobile hot spot

    I currently travel extensively and before buying a printer, I would like to know if it is possible to support a printer through my Verizon 4 G mobile hot spot?  My other devices, including an HP laptop work fine, including an IPAD 2.  If it is possible, what model x should be?

    dpinmsue,

    If you travel and take the hotspot and the printer with you, I would probably recommend the HP Photosmart D110a or the HP Photosmart Plus B210a just because these are two of the smaller printers ePrint capable so that they are the most suitable for travel.

    Just to remind, however, the hotspot technology is very new in retrospect. Although we have seen some success, so it is difficult to say that you will see success with all the hot spots in general.

  • Error in the launch of TES Oblivion. It reads: failed to initialize renderer. NiXAdapterDesc::GetDeviceCaps () failed.

    Here's the thing.

    I had just recently completely reinstall Vista on my Dell Inspiron 1521 because recently there KSoD was (BlacK S Of Death creen). I was told that I also had to reinstall my Drivers and Utilities. I had Windows running after that I reinstalled Vista (finally able to reach the screen connection.) and then tried to install The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I got some kind of error message during installation and when I clicked okay, it shut out of the whole thing. So, I took my friends advice and jumped into the CD Drivers and Utilities that came with my Dell. I extracted, unpacked and installed all the drivers available on the menu (except those who say such as Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile on them, I don't think that those who are very important, so I only did those those.). After that I did, so I took another slap at reinstalled Oblivion. This time, he actually completed the installation. I was so excited, I clicked on the logo of oblivion on my desk, and when this menu appeared with classical music (the one that offers you the options game, Options, data files, Technical Support, etc.) I clicked Play and then the black window appears as if its going to work and then just stops and this error message is displayed: failed to initialize renderer. NiXAdapaterDesc::GetDeviceCaps() failed. Then everything closes, I tried several times and got the same results each time.

    The main reason I'm being so complete in this regard is to let you know EXACTLY what I could probably help find the problem. Another thing... I'm absolutely stupid with computers, I tried Googling the error message and I found sites where people have had the same problem but they have started talking about all this driver stuff I didn't understand even remotely. I have NO Internet on my computer, unless there is a way to disconnect a cable from my PC at home and connect it to my laptop so it won't be (could this work? If so which cable I have unplug my pc at home and my laptop? Never tried it before.). So I ask, if anyone out there who is willing to help has the answer to my problem, could you tell me how to solve this problem, as if you were talking to a 6 year old? That or just make so that even the dumbest, most computer-illiteriate person could understand. I know almost nothing about all this stuff of pilot. When I reinstalled the drivers on my pc I just follow the instructions step by step that my friend gave me, but had next to no knowledge of what exactly I was doing.

    EDIT: I played oblivion on my PC countless times before KSoD would have on me without any problems at all except that it could be a bit of lag... That's all. It has completely worked until I got the black screen of death on my Dell Inspiron 1521 and had to reinstall vista and all the drivers.

    Hello DJS4400,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
     
    GetDeviceCaps() is a DirectX routine call made by the game engine for you check the details of the video card, what it is capable of supporting, and after that the game engine make certain decisions about what all the things to initialize for her. If that is a failure, it means that the game engine is not able to read your video card correctly.
    Most likely, this would be a problem with the drivers and of course, could be a problem with the card itself.

    Try running another game and see if it works. If it isn't, definity your drivers need a second look. If it does, this means, oblivion has a problem with the drivers you are using, or else they have not been installed correctly.

    I would first try:

    Click Start-> then type ' Device Manager "in the field of research-> game controller, select device-> next Manager, select sound and video-> This will drop your card-> with the right button on the map and you should have an option to update the drivers."  Once you repeat this test.

    If still no luck, right click again on the map and select Uninstall (you may have to restart after that) and then return to the driver and reinstall.   In most cases if you need to reboot, when your computer starts it will try updating the driver automatically from the site.

    Please let us know status.  Thank you!

  • Satellite A200 - 13O - lose 3mm of the monitor

    Hello.

    I have an A200-13O and lately I saw something weird. There is a part of the lcd screen that appears to be unusable, is not only on Windows, but even when starting (when the toshiba logo appears).

    I'm referring to a black vertical space about 3 mm of width, which occupies the left side of the screen (from top to bottom). He is not breaking up the image into two parts or something similar, or the view seems truncated. It's just a gap of 3mm between the left edge of the screen and the edge which the visible part begins. I hope my description can help.

    Is this a harware failure? Could it be due to use?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    PS1. I'm using the latest drivers intel GMA 945.
    PS2. It is not a problem of window function.

    Hello

    In my opinion it's nothing serious and I don't think that this could be a problem!
    On my laptop the 2mm (maybe 3mm) black box appears around the screen.

    Anyway, please go to the Intel GMA Mobile driver that is located in the control panel (switch to Classic view) Vista
    In the Intel GMA Mobile driver please select the display settings and check image format options.
    Maybe you will find an option that could help resolve this small frame!

    I can run the Simulator 9800 ok, but it takes 10-15 minutes of startup: ^(et cela tue ma productivité.)

    I got it work after trying two additional things. I don't know which one solved the problem.

    1. I had an entry in my environment variable path pointing to a directory of 'bin' of the eclipse plugin that I deleted old.

    2. I did a complete new installation of the classic eclipse 3.5.2 1.1.2 BlackBerry plugin eclipse and plugin SDK 6.0.

    Don't know which of these things is switchable hot work.

    I still get traded an exception when the debugger attaches more switchable hot but if I click here my code gets hot and I am able to continue debugging on the 6.0 9800 Simulator so I'm a happy guy

  • BlackBerry NFC

    Hello

    I have a question, what types of NFC which are supported by Blackberry? (for example, Mifare Classic?)

    Let us discuss NFC on Blackberry for even more information.

    Thanks for help

    Kind regards.

    We have published lots of great content on NFC for developers BlackBerry here:

    NFC - Article and Code Index - BlackBerry support Community Forums

    Regarding your question however; We support the 3 modes of operation:

    1 reader/write tag learn to read and write

    2 peer-to-Peer (P2P)

    3 card emulation

    We also support something cool, called virtual emulation target.

    I think you're asking specifically about good tags.

    We support the tags that meet standards NFC Forum, then you should also check that a tag be designated a standard tag MFC Forum Type 1, 2, 3 or 4 before you buy.

    Your specific example, the Mifare Classic (also known as the Mifare 1 K) is not compliant to standards NFC Forum and if we do not support.

    Hope that answers your question

  • HTTP issues with different service providers

    My apologies if this has been posted and answered before. I'm new to the Blackberry development.

    I'm developing an application initially for the 8300 Series. Timing of the launch, my application tries to open an http connection to check the updates of the application.

    I have no problem, the application running on the Simulator, and if I add '; deviceside = true"to the url, the app works on an ATT device. However, when I run the application on a device, Verizon or T-Mobile, I get a network error, whether or not '; deviceside = true' is included.

    I tried messing around with the TCP APN settings on the device from T-mobile with no luck. The Verizon device does not appear to have that option at all. Browsers seem to work so there is a valid data connection.

    Anyone know what the problem is or what I could do wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    The problem was with the data plan, a feature or another was not enabled.

  • Software BlackBerry BlackBerry link restore backup on laptop

    I have created a support for my Z10 using BlackBerry Link, the next day that my Z10 crashed. It is likely that will be replaced by a classic, but I haven't found the classic in stock yet. First question: can I restore selected files from the backup to my laptop? Second question: can I restore selected files backup Z10 to a classic? I'm particuilarly interested Contacts, but there is a treasure of files, including downloads, I don't want to lose. -rabbitupnorth

    Hi rabbitupnorth,

    To answer your questions:

    1.) files saved in a backup BlackBerry can not be restored to your laptop. Data such as Contacts should be synchronised using BlackBerry link from your smartphone to the computer.

    2.) Yes, the backup file created from your BlackBerry 10 smartphone can be restored to the classic BlackBerry smartphone. To do this, please make sure that you are connected to the classic BlackBerry with the same BlackBerry ID that was used to create the backup file. Otherwise, BlackBerry link will not be able to restore these data.

    Something to consider: there may be problems for some applications application compatibility when you restore the BlackBerry Z10 version for the classic BlackBerry. These are not very widespread and application developers have done good work to include support for the classic BlackBerry screen resolution, but you'll notice that some applications are not properly formatted to change the screen size/resolution. I would recommend looking for BlackBerry World app after updates restored data in the classic.

    From my experience from a BlackBerry BlackBerry classic Z30, most if not all applications have worked extremely well after the restoration and I had no specific problem.
