HELP blackBerry Smartphones: Contacts in case of failure to show in a letter - watch 'NO ADDRESS FOUND.

I'm helping a friend.  She has a Blackberry Curve 8300 with AT & T.  His work email is synchronized via the web AT & T Blackberry Page, http://www.att.com/blackberry .  There is no customer of the business running on the server.  All e-mails are synchronized via a webmail server.

Normally, you can go to contacts and enter a letter, contacts jump to that letter.  When you enter more letters, it starts to narrow the results, allowing you to quickly find a contact with just 3 or 4 letters.

In this case, even if there are 1129 address entries in the directory, when you enter the, for example, to search for contacts beginning with the letter L, it shows NO ADDRESS FOUND.  I scrolled the list (which took forever) and found that in fact, there a lot of contacts that began with the letter L - at least 20-30.  Currently, contacts are displayed by name, and I tried to put into service at the last name and company with the same results.

There was a similar to this post, but he exercises his activities in an atmosphere of business - it's not.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  The phone just started doing this and as you can imagine, takes a very long time to scroll through the contacts of 1129 to find one, you are looking for.  Use of category helps, but still, 1129 contacts in about 6 categories... always means lots of scrolling!

Any ideas?  Please help - thanks!

Hi and welcome to the Forums!

Whenever random strange behaviors creep, 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.

Best!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If the old BB is really dead, then it is not available as a source for restoring your data to your new device. Instead, you must use another source, one that you created before the old BB died.

    If you made a backup of office, you can use the backup as a restore source file:

    If you don't know where is the backup file, search your entire hard drive for a file with an extension of the RPI (*.ipd). Inspect the results - mainly date/time of the file. Select the candidate most likely and use it as a source in the above procedure.

    There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

    Method 1:

    • Open the Blackberry Desktop Software and connect your device to your PC with the USB OEM cable and without inserting the battery.
    • You will get three options: try again, update or cancel; Click Refresh.
    • Once, it is at the stage of initialization of 'pocket', insert the battery.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second method:

    • Start your BlackBerry in safe mode. KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe
    • Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow handheld to connect. If you are prompted to update, cancel the upgrade for later.
    • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: Article ID: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader
    • Go to device > delete > SELECT DATA > select this option to remove the Social flow and smart card data bases and follow the rest invites you to complete.

    Hello tooblackish

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Sorry for the trouble, but I noticed this same problem with few other users, who could not send pings to any BlackBerry 10 there BlackBerry 7 devices.

    To solve your problem, I suggest to re-install BlackBerry Messenger!  To do this on your homescreen go to Options > device > application > locate and remove BlackBerry Messenger from there. After deleting to do a battery pull reboot as this device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back.

    KB10040  : How to display or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone   

     

    Finally, after the reboot, use your BlackBerry browser and go to www.blackberry.com/bbmdownload and download the latest available for your phone model. If device reboot prompt do then sign in with your ID BlackBerry even.

    Try it and tell us how it goes.

  • Images of blackBerry Smartphones Contact sync with Facebook app.

    I just received a Bold 9700 and noticed that, even though I have the ability to synchronize the profile pictures of my friends with my contacts on the phone profiles, photos for my phone contacts remain blank.  Facebook profiles are related to my contacts and sometimes show the Facebook profile photo, but after a while the image is an icon of the Virgin again.  I also deselected the option synchronize and re-activated the option Update Blackberry contacts with my Facebook contacts to try to force the update photos, but without success.

    I thought it might also be due to a conflict wiyth other apps trying to update the contact photos because I initially imported all my contacts from my Gmail account, but I am unable to understand what other apps, if any, are updated photos contact and so to disable them.

    Blackberry contacts linked to a LinkedIn profile show their LinkedIn profile pictures correctly however and others that I only have BB Messenger, GTalk, Windows Live Messenger and Facebook that are related to my Blackberry contacts.

    Any ideas on how I can get pictures of my contacts to sync properly with Facebook?

    Make sure you are using the latest version of the operating system you can find for the device:

    This version is good:

    If anyone can give me the answer to this, I would be eternally grateful!

    I work in mobile and often cannot get a good mobile internet access to my netbook, but the Blackberry seems OK. I want to receive emails with attachments to my Blackberry then transfer them via the USB port on my netbook (Samsung NC10) to use to print via a HP deskjet printer and a Zebra LP 2844 thermal printer. So my first question is, can I do this & if so, how? Is there a software I need?

    If it is do able, in time, that I want to do wireless. My Samsung NC10 Widness BT does not support my BB. What would?

    Anyone got a short cut for direct printing with suggestions on BT A4 mobile printers and label printers. I can connect them to a vehicle power source but even better if they are really mobile.

    Thank you all!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    All you need to do is save the attachments on your email in a file on your BB (device or memory card support). Then attach to your laptop and open files directly from here - no need actually move the file on your PC as your BB is displayed as a drive (or drives) in Windows:

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones with Blackberry-contacting

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.  Curve daughter 9300 has been gel market for a few months, but now is causing major problems.  The only way to fix this is to take out the battery for a while.

    As the phone was less than a year, I brought back to the store where you bought it, he was sent away and took 2 weeks to return.  They initially said that there was no fault with the phone but said then it was not actually watched as the envelope had been changed.  My daughter has managed to break the original envelope, so it has been replaced by exactly the same black case.  They refuse to do anything despite the phone may not be fit for purpose IE does not properly.

    I spent last week, fight with the retailer, but nothing helped, they just isn't any service to the customer and are not interested.

    Can someone advise how to contact Blackberry in the United Kingdom please.

    Thank you very much

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    To answer your specific question... RIM offers zero first line support to end-users, including warranty... all support starts with the carriers, resellers and authorized service centers, all who can degenerate case RIM free of charge for the end user. Contractually, you have no free path to work around the shop, you work with and try any official escalation rim... as your warranty service provider, they have the responsibility to repair your security under its contract terms. I suspect that, when you read your real contract, you'll find that they are indeed correct in their assessment.

    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:

    It is also perhaps a few good reading here:

    But, overall, from your description, I don't hold much hope... If you have cancelled your warranty in effect, it is about the end of it.

    Good luck!

    Have you thought about how you will try that? After all, 'format' is not a same command available on a BB...

    If you decide to go ahead, I recommend a refill of BONE. from a PC, you can install any bundle of BONES to a BB via this procedure:

    Note that although written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or recharge - it depends on the OS package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove from your PC, no matter what other packages devices OS BB as having more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    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:

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones with the transfer of contact list

    So, here's my problem, I had a Pearl 8130 and beat the trackball on it so it is no longer functional.  I just got my curve in the mail today, and I want to spend all my contacts from my Pearl to my curve.  Whenever I plugged my phone into my computer, I hit "backup".  So, my question is, how I make out of my Pearl?  If they are stored on my computer, which is the file in which they are stored?  I can't seem to find anything anywhere, and there is no my phone contacts in Outlook.  Is there another way to get them off my Pearl that won't require me using my trackball (he has literally disappeared).  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    Open Desktop Manager > switch Device Wizard. First plug in your old Pearl and follow the instructions you see pass all your data, contacts, etc., from one device to the other. You will have no need of the trackball works for this... just have the Pearl charged and put on the market.

    If you want to restore the previous backup, use C: > backup > restore. You may need to open the file > open and navigate to where you saved the most recent backup file (ending in *.ipd).

    Good luck.
