Contacts Sync blackBerry smartphones gets too...

Is it possible for me to sync with a particular 'game' of contacts in Gmail rather than having them all imported to my BB 8520?  Some are work related and I don't want them on my BB, just friends and family.  Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

I found it is a proposal, all or nothing, it's one of the reasons that I have disabled the function.

I guess you could sue a filter on the Blackberry to show just friends.

Address book > menu button > professional or personal filters.

Thank you

  • Sync gmail contacts OK blackBerry Smartphones, but can not synchronize Emails

    Dear Blackberry community!

    I recently changed my contract mobile and kept my professional Blackberry Curve 9300.

    I managed to configure gmail and synchronize contacts & the order of the day, but I can't seem to synchronize emails.

    It seems to me that the old configuration blocking private Email-addresses is still active, but I don't know where and how to change.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Of what you say, I read that you had BES enabled on your BB, you have separated from the company/what BES now, but your BB was not properly cleaned of it's political, that continues to limit the things. To remedy this, you perform a specific wiping of your BB as follows:

    1. First of all, review the link of my auto-sig about backups... this process will completely clean your BB and you have to start over.
    2. Once ready, follow this KB to clean your BB of the it policy:
      • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings
    3. When / if you restore, DO NOT do a full restore, restore only those databases that are essential, especially to avoid those who have something to do with the company, BES, political, etc.. If you fail at this stage and all restore, you simply put it on your BB policy and be right where you started.

    Good luck!

  • Sync blackBerry Smartphones 9810 Contacts problem

    Info on the device

    Your carrier: Telus Mobility

    Model information and the version of the OS: V7.1.0.267, the 5.1.0.230 platform

    Hello

    I have all 85contacts added for the last 2 months (the last time I've updated my phone) on my 9810 who does not sync with gmail contacts since then.

    I tested what is working/not working not:

    -Add/Edit/Remove contact the 9810 sync with gmail.

    -Add/Edit/Delete on the PB contact syncs to gmail. Changes on the gmail contacts will appear on 9810.

    -Add/Edit/Delete on the Android phone contact syncs to gmail. Changes on the gmail contacts will appear on 9810.

    So I tried to empty my contacts using the RSET trick in the contacts option. Disable/enable the option contact synchronization and BIS. I also tried to delete this account gmail from BIS and reinstall. When I re-installed, I received this email:

    Subject: Action Required: Contact synchronization has stopped
    Sent: Nov 4, 2012 13:32
    
    Contacts have stopped being synchronized between [email protected] and your BlackBerry® device. To resume synchronizing contacts with this email account:
    1. Open the Contacts application on your device.
    2. Press the Menu key and click Options.
    3. Select the Contact List for [email protected].
    4. Set Wireless Synchronization to Yes
    5. Press the Menu key and click Save.
    
    BlackBerry Internet Service
    -- Automatically generated email: Do Not Reply to this email --
    

    Of course, wireless synchronization was already on...

    Any idea on a solution that can help? Unless anyone can help downgrade will be needed! :/

    Here is my solution:

    So I put day to V7.1.0.746 and back! The only problem is that if you enter only the name of a company, it won't sync until you write something in the name (necessary to repeat the name of the company).

    Enjoy!

  • Help with calendar with Outlook sync blackBerry Smartphones to all appointments will not sync...

    I'm not a great tech, but I have some skills good enough for a girl, if I say so myself... but I'm so frustrated... I need help.

    This is my first public post... So I hope that I give all the information but who will help, if I missed something, please let me know.

    Here is some background info:

    I have a BB "BOLD"

    I use it NOT on a company (network)

    I sync my bb with my dell

    Windows Vista (UGH!)

    Outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001

    My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason, I have a bb

    My contacts are FINE

    My schedule is a MESS

    I have 2 separate email addresses work well my bb... For the purposes of his post, I will refer to them as

    [email protected] and

    [email protected]

    When I do appointments in my work calendar, I do one of 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB

    Plan my gmail as a participant in the designation address or

    Prior to the appointment to my gmail from my work email address

    When I make an appointment directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu > new = my default settings of the account gmail under the 'send '.

    BB News:

    When I'm in the calendar and select > Menu.Options > calendars > I have 3 options

    [email protected] who has (518 entries)

    Default device that has (157 results)

    [email protected] who has (429 entries)

    When I go to the Menu > Options > Advanced Options > Services > (CICAL) by default is [email protected] , it shows that I have options to select my Gmail or my .mac address

    That is the problem - it did not used to happen, and I frankly did not know that my backup was messed up so I don't know how long this is happening.

     

    When I sync with Outlook

    There are only 518 appointments that are synchronized

    I can't get the other 157 (defect of the unit) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook

    Can someone help me to get them all on my gmail calendar? or in my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB

    I will not sync my bb with my mac

    Here's what I tired:

    • Yelling at the computer
    • Yelling in Spanish at the BlackBerry
    • ignoring the two
    • I stopped myself to throw both of them against the wall.

    But seriously

    I put the BB Desktop Manager to perform a one-way synchronization > bb to outlook = NOTHING only synchronize gmail

    I changed the (CICAL) to my mac address and synchronized = NOTHING - only synchronization gmail

    I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

    Hello

    We will remember and then on MAC records.

    Outlook contains records of 158 of the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The calendar by default folders must be cleared and restored to the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The Blackberry associated gmail calendar resulting will be then synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records

    resulting calendars synced to Outlook and Blackberry.

    Reading this, I propose more than once. Method 3 is what we do.

    Let me know, tomorrow, what questions you have the procedure so that we can ensure we succeed.

  • BlackBerry® Smartphones getting fake email

    Hello:

    I seem to be getting the wrong email. It seems an ENCORE in Bournemouth in England is send someone elses email to my PIN in the Canada. I sent emails to person to get his BIS to stop, but she did not. I don't think she even knows or cares. What to do. It makes me crazy with 50 emails a day.

    To clarify, e-mails are sent to any PIN code. Rather, BIS pulls e-mails from an e-mail server and pushes them to the Messages of BB app under this integrated email account via BIS BB (for example, the e-mail on the device Setup Wizard). So, if you have only your GMail integrated with this BB, it must have some sort of redirection rule of sending emails to your GMail (which would be strange, indeed, I think)... but not to your BB PIN, for real emails don't get shipped PIN, only on the e-mail address.

    Either it was not a new device but rather was used and was not properly cleaned of all configurations before being sold... and you're the unlucky recipient of a sloppy seller does not complete what they need to do:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    To be sure, check inside the e-mail Setup Wizard and see what you have there... If you only have your GMail account, then something really weird happens... and I recommend to contact the seller and make them apply to 'new' State they represented as height (note that is what matters... packaging can always be made to air well... only the issues of representation of sellers).

    You can try the steps from the buyer in the KB above... but from what you describe, I honestly have very deep concern now on the total utility of this unit for you... He would never properly and fully usable.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Your BB OS is outdated... you need to update... the current version is 5.0.0.1036. Here's what I recommend... Since you are on MAC, which makes it a bit more difficult that the sets of tools to deal with things are much more limited on MAC:

    (1) properly uninstall the RIM desktop software:

    • KB18771 Install and uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

    (2) obtain a new download of the RIM Desktop software:

    (3) install the software on your MAC Desktop

    • KB18771 Install and uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

    (4) now run the Desktop software, connect your BB when prompted and perform a clean reload of your BB OS, choose the most recent version that it offers (if all goes well, 5.0.0.1036):

    • KB19915 Perform a clean reload of software applications smartphone BlackBerry using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer
    • If you have no data on the BB that concern you, and then simply proceed with this update. If you have data on the BB, do not agree that the update and first perform a manual backup of your BB to your Mac. After the update, you may need to restore from this backup (update COULD take a backup itself and restore for you).

    (5) close the Desktop software and unplug your BB when it's all over.

    Now, you must do these steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

    (1) registry HRT

    (2) remove and return Service directories

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

  • My bb bold blackBerry smartphones get more heated and stops loading

    I have a bb bold 9780 which is about 9 months old... recently I started having this problem with my battery to reach extreme temperatures of 45 c and then sign shows a card that supposed to happen when my battery is fully charged, but gets to 40% and does not load then... I have to put my personal number near the ac to cool up to 29 c to recharge it. even the battery life is very poor... She is barely 4 hours on a full charge... I have 2 batteries... I have a 9000 "BOLD" and I of the 9780 and the two we live the same problems...

    Thanxx in advance

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    It is possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem.

    What you describe, it is likely that your BB, which is the root of the problem... to test, I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    You may also use these tips:

    It is also possible that your BB has a problem at the level of the material which is the cause... and, of course, the internet remote diagnosis and operating system/software recommendations will be nothing if this is the case.

  • Backup BlackBerry Smartphones get BB protect compared to the clouds

    Hello world

    I tried the manual backup yesterday by the site Web de Blackberry Protect. I successfully backed up the first time and made a few changes on my BB Curve 9300. Freed from some space by deleting messages and other data. I also want to return to the top of that State or to this specific point, I did the backup through the site Web of Protect. To my surprise (and I'm not aware) the new backup crushed my previous where in I need important messages I deleted expects that the backup will just create another set of backup rather than crush the other.

    My question is. Are there opportunities that I can restore this backup?

    After a few searches on Google and read messages. I knew that the backup is saved in the cloud that has lost the chances of recovering data backup with recovery tools that I can use.  I thought that if I can retrieve/recover deleted files and even formatted disks, technical staff of BB Protect or RIM could do the same and help me with my problem.

    Hope my message reached the Cloud for RIM or BB Protect administrator.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    First of all... this site is not a channel for any official communication with, support, or climbing to the RIM. This site is a community of users for volunteers who are trying their best to help each other, but we have no access to any system "back-end" to act on your request. If you really need official support from RIM, you must start with your support contract required string that starts with your mobile service provider, which can degenerate case RIM free of charge to the end user if such is always appropriate.

    There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the original question, since you are not through the contract, you signed at the time of purchase. If you want to study, you can check it out here:

    OK... with that of the road, see:

    • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

    According to who, it should actually be different dates you can use BB Protect backups. If they are not, however, appear for one reason or another, they are not available to you through any means automatic... and you would need official support (above) of a human being to the RIM to see if it can be recovered.

    All this said, I hope that you are not solely on BB Protect for your backup needs. BB Protect only back up (I think) 8 databases, which is a small subset of all the content of all of your valuable data. FYI, here's the process that I always recommend:

    Daily - configure BB Protect to save what he can, preferring to WiFi if the network of consumer data carrier is a matter of concern.

    Weekly:

    If you're not up to BBM7, then manually save your BBM contacts to the memory of your device or Media Card

    As insurance, the backups are reactive or an optional activity. And this process, in my humble OPINION, provides the best protection of all the valuable data that is kept on their BB. When you compare BB Protect backup actually compared this process to protect, I think you will find that the difference is very large. In addition, this process would give you 100% control to keep the previous backups.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    I just got a Blackberry Tour 9630 by Verizon.  I tried to transfer all of my contacts (200 +) on my new phone to Verizon's "Backup Assistant" help.  I downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Manager and thanks to the instructions Verizon Backup Assistant managed to get to the point where my contacts are in a csv file, but here's where the problem starts - my laptop is a few months old, and the operating system is Windows 7.  Outlook and Outlook Express, which is what I used to have, is no longer in existence in Windows 7, as I understand it, it's now Windows Live Mail.  I have that set up and it works fine - I have my email provider implemented in it and was able to import my contacts from phone in there, but the instructions to import the csv file backup so that I can sync them are given only for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express.  The Blackberry Desktop Messenger does not recognize Windows Live Mail, Outlook just.  I looked everywhere on the internet trying to find a solution to this, if it still exists.  I hope that yes because the thought of having to enter 200 contacts with all their information. handmade isn't a good!

    I hope that one of you smart people he understands what I am talking about and can tell me if there is a solution to this (keeping my fingers crossed!).

    You are right that the new Win7 Live system is not yet on the list.

    However, since you already have your data in a CSV file, you can import that into the BB directly:
