  • Button of browser blackBerry Smartphones No. on curve 9300?

    Hi all, my original BB curve 9300 was stolen - son he has liked it so much I bought another one from an Internet auction site. All was well until my son has noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said that everything was fine with his contract. They helped me through the access remote and backed up, then tried to restore and update all nothing done. The only thing they think is that it is a business phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they do not surf the net, so it is disabled. My question is, is that correct? Can do something to restore the navigation, or is it something else?
    Thanks Nicky

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS on any area network?

    Hi, I m new with BB but I want to know something, can I use the GPS function or the WiFi features on a place that has no cell phone network signal /... for example, if a trip to another country with no active roaming?

    Thanks in advance.

    GPS on blackberry requires NO wifi or data.  BlackBerry maps, google maps and most current main GPS apps for blackberry require data or wifi, but it's a limitartion of these software applications, not blackberry devices.  There are other FREE applications that DO NOT require any data plan.  Nor do even need wifi connectivity.

    Google search for 'Mobile GMAPS' download the free app on your Blackberry.  It can be used completely with just your phone internal GPS and mapping files that have been downloaded to your SD card.  Or, if you want, you can use the wifi instead of data, but there is absolutely no need for any connection other than via the internal GPS device once you have maps on your SD card.  Mobile GMaps is not nearly as feature packed as GPS applications more mainstream for blackberry that currently require data plans, but hey, it's a free app and you will save data charges.

    Once you have installed Mobile GMAPS on your phone, you will need to use your PC and go to www (dot) mapcacher (dot) com and create a mapping file using google, yahoo or live maps.  Just select the area of the map you want, select zoom levels 1-16, choose the amount of detail and then click on the button to begin to build your mapping file.  The file will be created in a few seconds.

    You must then import this map file into an application like v0.7.2.2 gmapmaker mgmaps (dot) com/www cache (point) and install it on your pc as well. Import the mapping file into this tool and your map will be created.  There are a few different tools that can do the same thing - you can learn more about the different ones on Mobile GMAPS forums or better yet the site Crackberry - this is where I originally found the tutorial for this process.

    Get the built cards is not difficult, but it may take some time depending on your broadband ISP, the size of a map that you create and the amount of detail that you put on it (zoom levels add more information and you can choose anywhere between 1-17).  Then there is also the matter of getting the map to your sd card file once it is built because there will be a lot of small image files and folders Windows PC may not like if the structure of the file is too big.

    I recommend trying a few small test cards (like just your city) so you see how it works, try the different zoom levels and details.  After a few tries, you'll know how to create the perfect cards and the best files of sizes to easily copy maps on your SD card.

    It is not the best tool, but it is available and it is free and can be used anywhere and anytime - as long as your GPS can find the satellites.  I imagine that there will be much progress in other programs that do the same thing, because the free service is the way to go!  I hope that the major GPS manufacturers take note and join the herd by creating SD maps for blackberry devices too (windows mobile and symbian phones have this option) or they'll be next to lose a lot of money.  Why would anyone want to use their data plan to use the GPS when it should work on its own?

    The answer THEY will tell you is because it allows you to get the latest maps all the time, it's a limitation of phone blackberry that data is required.  This is total Bull * if.  The cards are always changing, but not enough to justify the cost of data each month.  Their is a lot of software SD card capable apps out there (TomTom, Garmin, Navigon, etc.), but they only work on Windows Mobile and Symbian, and because Blackberry push data, the SD versions have not been built yet.  At least with this tool, you know it is possible and can stop believing the hype of data plan.  In addition, if you want new cards, you can go out and download a new one whenever you want and copy it in your SD car.

    Enjoy your free, anytime, anywhere, GPS and pass on the good news to other friends of blackberry.

  • BlackBerry smartphone messaging issue curve 9320

    Hi all!

    the e-mail on my 9320 function does not work correctly. I have correctly configured my gmail on mydevice account and I get emails and receive notifications when they arrive, HOWEVER...

    When I opened the email all I see is heading for the topic and who it is from, there is no message body. Looking back through my old emails, the only ones I have read completely are those that I received BlackBerry when I first set up my email confirming the installation. If I select answer or forward, it opens the E-mail project but then the email app is closed completely and I'm suddenly brought to my home screen.

    What I've tried so far:

    -Turning device and turn it on again

    -removal and setting up my email account once again

    -wear the device to where I bought it. they offered to download blackberrydesktop on my PC Manager and backup then restore my phone. I did it without a change in behavior from my blackberry

    Any help or advice is much appreciated

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you need to consider a full reload OS... to prepare, please visit link for Backup in my auto signature on this post.

    Good luck!

    It's true, Verizon has disabled the use of the GPS on the 8330 until the user subscribes to VZ Navigator, and it is well documented with VZW and on the internet with various forums where people have asked this question.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS 'search for satellites... ". "questions about T - Mobile BB Curve 8900

    My wife and I had our 8900 s for 6 months.  All this time, the GPS worked so sporadically (works maybe 5% of the time) that we have renounced them.  I read all the posts on almost all forums, including this one.  I was on the phone with T-mobile for more than 2 hours - almost an hour of going out on my patio in 105 degree heat!  After going on all of the possible settings and reboot several times, the girl has finished telling me that it must be because the trees in my yard blocked the signal.  His only suggestion - call RIM.  What have I learned?

    1. I can't use my GPS inside to plan a trip. (roof and walls block signal)

    2. I can't use my GPS in the van to get to a place. (signal blocks of metal body)

    3. I can't use my GPS in a city to find an address. (buildings of great height-block signal)

    4. I can't use my GPS in the mountains to keep from getting lost. (trees and mountains block signal)

    5. If I am in the open field, GPS find signal about 5% of the time.

    6. I can't find the phone support for us peons.

    My brother, daughter, nephew, and everyone - make sure everyone - who has one phone other than a 8900 can get a signal just beside session from me.  My phone: 'search for satellites... ". »

    If a person tells me that I must be "outdoor" to use my GPS, I'm their Butterfly!  However, if you have a constructive suggestion, I'm all ears.  And before ask you, I have a data plan unlimited, and I tried with location helping the Endabled and people with disabilities.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS, the 8300 and ATT

    I got my 8300 about a year previously and has waited until now to install the Garmin Mobile for Blackberry.

    Cingular says it had GPS 'ability' and I thought that it meant "integrated."  I paid $100 for the Garmin

    Download and got the version for phones WITH GPS.  Naturally he has no satellite.

    It is then that I discovered that I have the 8300 and not the 8310.  In addition, I had no Blackberry Maps

    featured and was ready to download/install, when I noticed the statement that IT DOES NOT

    ON ATT.  So, now I'm here with a bad brain trying to figure out how to get out of this trouble before

    I fed the rest of my money to Garmin or ATT or the PERSON, to get a less-than-perfect GPS Setup.

    I could get the Bluetooth GPS receiver, someone else purchased for about $60. Garmin Mobile software

    is an OF WHAT GPS with integrated phone and I noticed somewhere that it does not work for phones receive signals

    a Bluetooth receiver.  To stay with Garmin, I have to buy their package for about $150, which includes a

    receiver and the software to go with it.  Using THIS plan, buy one once, there seems to be no. $ 9.99/month

    subscription to process. (I'm wrong, or am I missing something here?)

    I could get the receiver for $60 as shown above and subscribe to Telenav GPS stuff that came with

    My att phone. I downloaded the new maps of them today, but I am not at all impressed with their quality.

    I also think that it is outrageous to pay the subscription of $9.99 / month to something I have trouble reading.

    Then... I guess I wonder if I should cut my losses here and go get the Garmin Nuvi that someone else

    has said was excellent for car navigation?  I like really use my 8300 for everything and have GPS it would sweep.  But I don't know if I combine a GPS system on the phone that he would give me the configuration of navigation that I would.

    There you have it. Opinions and advice are appreciated. BJ

    "One thing that made me hesitate to go to the BlueTooth receiver was the suspicion that he has not used the satellites, but uses rather server signals, or receiving cell tower." "I ordered the receiver Globalsat BT BlueTooth - 359C last weekend; I'll let you know how it works. »

    .

    .

    It works very well... and really uses satellites.  With Blackberry Maps, the dashboard for the navigation shows the speed you're going on the left, the right direction and a satellite icon in the middle with a number, which I guess is the strength of the signal.  The unit works as well for the location with Google maps, too.  Note: the key to the Bluetooth passcode is 0000.

  • Unlocked blackBerry Smartphones using bb curve 9310 w/Tmobile without data

    Hello, I'm looking to buy a bb curve 9310. For the moment, I'm in a 2 year contract with calls unlimited-Tmobile & text, no data plan.

    I need to change my phone and I would like a blackberry because I have a lot of text, and also I would use its WiFi capabilities as well.

    I did some research and it seems to be is not as simple as just buy the phone and put a SIM card. I just want to know if I would be able to use a unlocked bb curve with my Tmobile SIM 9310 (plan of 2 years, no data)

    I already know that I won't be able to use features such as BBM. I'm waiting until my contract expires and may then add a data plan or change of provider.

    Any response would be greatly appreciated as I need to change my phone as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thank you!

    What happens with companies like At & t and Verizon. However, T-mobile in the United States is not that. I have an iPhone and a BB 9780 for two of my children on family plans for $5 per month - no data plan.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS and the small speaker

    OK people, I know that out there, someone has a solution for this.  It seems so simple, but so far I didn't get a response.  Here's the situation.  It is difficult to hear GPS directions by the Blackberry Curve speaker.  I would like to send the directions to my bluetooth device or if it is completely impossible, voice instructions for my headphone plug.  I tried the two and no work - the sound contiues to get out of the enclosure.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I found the solution.  When I tried to make the GPS directions stronger, I pushed the speaker button.  Much to my surprise, he looked for the bluetooth device.  When I turned on my helmet, GPS voice instructions went directly to the headset.  It works very well.  The only problem is a slight delay.

    Problem solved. Now if someone could just find a way to get the sound of the Sprint TV to the bluetooth headset...
