Default screen of the blackBerry Smartphones Portrait showed icons, now displays the keyboard.

I let a friend play a bit with the phone today. After that, my home screen changed and I could not find a way to restore it.

When using the portrait used to have icons on the screen. Now I have a keyboard showing instead (with numbers and letters, such as a phone. If I flip to the landscape, I get the icons. If I hit the 'menu' button, I get the icons. If I type and click on the screen above the keypad, I get the icons. If I press a selection from the keyboard, it opens the phone and enters the first issue. I would like to have the icons it by default in portrait again. I did a battery pull and looked through the options, but without success.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Second battery pull it cleared up. It was strange. I could change the multi tap keyboard and suretype. But the portrait by default the keyboard upwards. Second battery pull took back me to the default screen, I was used to, with my icons arranged as I wanted them to be.

  • BlackBerry smartphones to change icons that appear on the home screen

    Hi all:

    I've had three questions for you gurus:

    (1) is there a way that I can choose which icons appear on the home screen, so that I don't not to hit the MENU button and then scroll to access ones I use regularly...?

    (2) ATT (in the United States) made wonder a user name and password when I try to connect to att.com/blackberrystart.  I already put in place an email 'external' non-Exchange, the private, ([email protected]) on my phone, but of course I can't use it to connect to this site.  Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening?

    (3) even if I send emails using this account [email protected] of "BOLD", what should I do to RECEIVE emails on account of [email protected] using POP?

    Any help on these three issues will be fantastic.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can hide those that you no longer want to see. Just ALT + click the trackball on those that you do not want to see and choose hide. With the default theme only the top row of icons will be visible without hitting the menu button.

  • Screen problem touchscreen blackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Storm2 9550

    Hello!

    I am a Sri Lanakan. Last week, I bought a Blackberry Storm2 9550 used, eBay (from a seller of e. u.). All the functions work fine except the touch screen. Can press on the touchscreen. (edges and around the screen) But he get caught suddenly, and also when am pressing an icon, phone highlights another icon. (as axample, when am pressing contacts in the home screen, phone highlights two contacts and sms). As I suppose, at this time there the phone detects it as multi touch and so I can't support what either. When am reset (battery pull) the phone, it solves the issue for a few minutes or hours, subsequently faced the same question.

    I tried to fix it by putting a piece of paper to the battery cavity, but nothing has changed.

    My storm is an unlocked phone (Comes to Verizon, but later unblocked), which is running version 5 software. ...... . 713 fact in Mexico 5.

    I want also to the last update available for my phone and how to update.

    You have other ideas on my problem touch screen? This is the main question, I want to solve as soon as possible. Do I need to fix it with a spacialist? Is it a hardware failure or a software? He solved by upgrading my version of software or restore to the factory settings.

    None of these remedies could work. Without practice, it is impossible for me to know anything 100%. The best advice I can give you is to upgrade your operating system to the latest version (. 1015). It could very well be that, as a device, it was damaged by the previous owner and it will never work for you. As I say, it is impossible to tell at this distance-internet.

    In my opinion, Yes, but there are others in the world who think differently. The best reference is the official:

    Most of us who have dealt with this for awhile understand that power should be turned on when you pull the battery.

    The other appears only if your carrier has eliminated an update wireless for you. You say that it is the "best way" for you... I would add that this is the MOST DANGEROUS way. You see, via this method update, on the device of data backup is taken, that is rendered after the update (the update effectively wipe everything). This backup is a file use 1... If something is wrong in the upgrade process, all your data is lost forever. The update method that I gave you is the best method that 1) it tells you first take a manual backup and 2) the process itself will also take another backup... and both of these backup files are stored on your PC and can later serve as a source of food since they are not 1-use files.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones recent update and now no screen saver

    (I recently yesterday) updated my software on my Blacberry Bold 9700.  Before update 2 function keys for standby (right if you look at the phone) and lock (left side) on the top just that fact with the lock button showing a screen saver until the screen become black after a break.  The phone lock button to access the screen saver function that comes with more downloadable themes.  It is now the screen turns off as if it is in standby mode.  The standby key has now no functionality.

    Is there a way to fix this?   I had a look through all the options and took a look at BB to help, but I don't see a way to assign or change the key features of locking.  I didn't really use the sleep button on the all so not worth it if I can't change that.

    (Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere I was not sure what search term to use and 'screen saver' and 'pending' did not help at all.

    Yes, it has been asked and answered many times, and you wouldn't have around her as a "screen saver" like the BlackBerry doesn't really have any screen saver. What you're looking for is the "lock screen", and the function of the button mute on the upper part has changed, with the latest software updates, several months ago.

    Also, get what you want, you will need to have a password on the device.

    In otherwise, touch the top edge just puts the unit in standby mode.

  • Icon/folder blackBerry Smartphones Messages shows * no. Messages *.

    Hi all

    I have used my turn for the fews last month now and have the habit of working mainly on my Messages icon to display all of my daily messages (3 e-mail accounts, sms/mms, facebook, etc.) so that I don't have to go through each individual icon throughout the day to get my messages. I recently left my phone unattended during my roommates play with and now my Messages icon always shows * no. Messages * in the same folder, if the folders for each of the msg/facebook messaging sms/accounts/bb say that I have no new messages. My roommates and I went through all the different settings and tried to set it up to where it was, but he cannot know. How do I reconfigure my settings so that messages appear in the Messages file/icon?

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

    See if that helps. The main Messages icon, as you said, should get all messages unless disable you it in Facebook and separate your SMS in his file.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones and five icons home screen - I am very confused

    Just got a 8520 on AT & T. My "home screen" is made up of the intensity of the signal icon, icon of Wi - Fi, time and Date in the upper part, the SSID of the network I can be connected to, indicator battery and profile - this is at the top of the screen.

    At the bottom of the screen are 6 icons and somehow they all ended up to be the message profile that I put in place, so it's ok. IF I hit the Menu button, I get the rest of the icons/folders in a 6 X by matrix. That's ok too; I can easily move icons in this area, em file within the application files, replace ONE of the 6 icons at the bottom of the screen.

    IF I press THE MENU BUTTON AND hold pressed JUST a MORE HAIR THAN NORMAL - and this is the background of my question - between the icons on the top screen and the low screen (6) icons, I get a 'bar' with 5 icons random orientation, that is, I don't know how or why they are there.

    I've seen posts here and elsewhere - I assume "crackberry" is a term of Endearment between users? -people having problems with their "darlings" and I wonder if this could be what I see, a favorite bar. IF this is the case, can someone please tell me how I can or IF I can place the icons I want in this bar of the home screen mysterious (to me)?

    And just FYI, it is up-to-date in its software revision. As soon as I got the Desktop installed software he wanted until the software so...

    These icons you see are the applications running on your phone. There are 5 that are always on and running in background: browser, phone, home screen, Messenger of BB and Messages.

    If you have other applications running, they will automatically appear here.

    As for the 6 icons at the botom of your home screen, here 1 6 icons you see when you hit the key BB (not pressed, simply by pressing once). You can move any icons you want in these 1st 6 positions so that these applications can be reached easily from your home screen.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones active new SIM - now phone SOS only

    Hi all. Have a little problem. I had to go back to an old 9700 When my current iPhone broke. I needed a new card SIM from the iPhone using a different card. When I called Rogers to activate the SIM everything was fine for about a minute. I received texts that were pending since Sunday when my iPhone broke. I had full bars etc. Once a minute, he went to SOS only. While I was on the phone with Rogers Tech Support I have reset and removed the battery and SIM and all the things they wanted me to. Everything looks good on their system, he said that the problem must be with the device.

    A bit on the device:

    Originally with Mobilicity in 2009. Opened and used with the wind. My father then used with Rogers and Fido. Since Sunday, when my phone broke, I used SIM card of my brother-in-law (he just swung at Rogers to the wind, but his plan has always been paid until the end of September) and the BB worked very well. If it worked correctly with a Rogers SIM.

    Now, I get the same problem with my brother-brother SIM. SOS only. No connection. What happened when active Rogers SIM card must have done something to the camera itself because now it does not connect to any of them. That both SIMs work as I have tested both in my wife's phone.

    The guy on the Support of Rogers suggested that perhaps the closed phone itself - but when I enter the settings advanced for the SIM card that everything is disabled in customization... so it appears not to be locked.

    He said that I should try to reinstall the OS, but that it will block the phone and I need to unlocked again.

    Is there anything else it could be? Will reinstall the OS relock the phone? Any other suggestions?

    Thank you very much!

    First this... avoid this tech Rogers like the plague. He has no idea what he's talking about. All what he told you is simply not possible. Once MEP unlocked, a BB device can blocked at the factory. Nothing of what you have done or the facilities of any OS can relock a BB.

    I'd rather a complete security on the Device Wipe:

    • KB14058 How to delete all data and applications in the smartphone BlackBerry using the security option wipe

    Otherwise, a ResetToFactory WIPE:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    After each one, put it in the SIM card and switch on the device, and then make sure that the voice is through Rogers. Only then start to worry about getting all the data to work (if you subscribe BIS, in other words).

    If you want to get off the OS Reload path, then the easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do this on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below. (not applicable in your situation)

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

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

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. 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

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:
