Hmm blackBerry smartphones... New on this and a bit confusing...

Hi all

Please bear with me, the phone is new and confusing! Can I ask some stupid questions... and here go us...

I have a Curve 8320 the Orange UK network. I have successfully set up the WiFi and e-mail applications, but have a few questions:

My understanding is that when I'm in a WiFi zone, my emails are collected through-if not, they are collected via the GPRS-is this correct? (E.g. should I use WiFi before anything else?-I wonder what it's going to cost me!)

Second question. I need not the BlackBerry to collect emails constantly that I'm home a lot with my desktop computer, but it is really useful when I am absent. Is there an easy way to disable the collection of email when I don't need which can easily be re-enabled when I do? (It gets crowded very quickly at the moment.)

Last question. I get a lot of spam since I activated the Blackberry much more that I never had before. Is it possible to block? I have this Setup on my desktop, but nothing appears on the BB.

Thanks a lot for any advice you can offer!

Who has grand-answered all my questions. Thank you very much!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new Curve 8330 and charge the battery/question already?

    Hi all

    I just got a new Curve 8330 last week.  I noticed that it takes ages to completely charge the phone when the battery only about 40%.  The other day it took about 5 hours to get to 100%, I use the power supply provided and also tried the USB cable with the software already installed.

    Tonight, it's about 60 percent, and I decided to load it.  After 3 hours or more, he went up to 45, then 40% and I was not still use it.  Battery icon is there (the icon of the card) then he recognizes it is connected.  I did the battery pull and wait another hour, another 40%.  Then another battery pull and still 40% after an hour.

    I came on this forum and saw the mention of the app QuickPull.  Downloaded it, ran it, and after it restarted, it had fallen to 5%!  Now, it says "low battery" and I do not really understand why.

    Until I started typing this post, I made an another battery pull and abandoned the USB plug.  It is now back up to 15%.  I am really hesitant to reach a store because the last time I brought my LG phone on a known battery problem (getting bulgy where you can spin) and they winded in my entire phone replacement

    Please let me know what I'd do here.  Is this a battery problem, phone licensing, etc.?  What my expectations are on acquire it quickly back to 100%?  I do not drain the battery that much.  It took two days so he can go down to 60%, but I do not understand why it takes so long to load and then it seems to perform when I plug.

    Thanks for your time.  I know this is a long post.  My battery is now 20%?  So he went from 5 to 20% in less than half an hour so confused.

    If you had access to another battery and/or charger, I suggest that you try to change one and if it does not, another permutation. You will have to perhaps just take the phone back, but if I were you, I would make them give me a new battery and charger, just to be safe, because it looks like one or the other may be bad.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new BB Curve and I now have to re-invite almost 1000 of my BB Contacts. Can I physically go BB and NOT re-invite?

    My old BB curve became defective and it was replaced by a new BB Curve. Everything is OK, except for my BBM Chats and Contacts. All my cats are gone, but even worse, I must now re-guest more than 1000 contacts. First of all it is the correct behavior of the BB Desktop backup procedure? Can I do SOMETHING about my contacts? All my contacts have been restored, but I tried to communicate with them, by BB, I am told that the person in question (the contact I am tryining to connect with) DO NOT HAVE ME AS A CONTACT. I want TO re-invite the contact?

    As I said, I have more than 1000 contacts and it's very embarrassing to be re-guest by each of them.

    Thank you for your support. Bob

    Thank you all for your support. My BBM contacts became fully operational further. Thanks again. Bob

    Go to contacts > Tap on the BlackBerry key menu > options > look for the e-mail account > tap on it, you will see the wireless sync if it is on you will see a control on the right uncheck it > click on the BlackBerry Menu button to memorize.

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Facebook - App Notifications and email (fbapp v1.8.0.49)

    Hi all

    Have recently upgraded via the updater for Facebook v1.8.0.49 appworld

    In the previous version when a notification came through Facebook it would make appear an icon on the home screen of facebook and NOT send an email to the email address on blackberry.

    For example, I have an email address BIS set up on my camera (mobileemail.vodafone.net) and also have the blackberry facebook app messaging service enable (checked) in the facebook app and also the "blackberry Smartphone notifcation" checked in the facebook of PC through iexplorer.

    Before only facebook notifications came as the app or facebook knew it was the same address, since the upgrade I now get both an email to my BIS email account and a notification icon appears.

    I change anything in the options.

    (now tried logging in and out, reticking options, etc, nothing)

    Y at - it a new option, or is this a bug of upgrade. The application of face book has only delete the email and now sends to the device?

    Since typing this my wife with the 8520 just told me that she has the same problem.

    Does anyone else have this?

    This isn't a major problem as long as at least I'm getting a nowt rather than email and notification.

  • BlackBerry smartphone app error 603 and BBDS does not recognize my device

    Here's the situation: the battery ran out on my unit earlier this week. When I started to charge, the unit will start automatically restart. Before restarting, the messages "error app 603' and 'reset' appeared. If I click "reset", the whole process starts again.

    The previous messages in the forum I read about 'error app 603' suggested I should restore the device settings or reinstall the operating system. I tried to connect my device to my laptop via USB cable, however the computer will only recognize the connected device with a chime at the beginning of the discount to zero, followed quickly by a chime of disconnection being rebooted. The computer or software Deskstop BlackBerry recognizes the device while it is stuck on the '603 error message' app.

    What else can I try?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Here's a knockout who deals with this error:

    For the charging of the OS, you can better use this method... on a PC (you can't do this on MAC):

    (1) make sure you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find complete instructions via the link in my sig auto below. Sorry, already a moot point counts with the error.

    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) work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of step 6, your BB presents "507" error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB 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 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:

After deleting to do a battery pull reboot as this device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new software download incomplete

    I connected my 8310 to my PC using BB Desktop Manager via a USB port and I was told there was new software for my device available for download. So I started the download, and when he was half, he stopped and would not continue. After a long time I gave up and tried to reconnect the device on my PC and the PC said that it does not recognize my BB.

    My BB does more work, just with a flashing red light I think it blew its brains. What choices do I have?

    Hello

    You will need to reload the operating system once the PC recognizes the device.

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB00125

    What I was doing to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before and it printed.

    If your device does not work, perform a backup now if you have not already done save the file to a place and a name that you can easily locate it on computer.

    I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all the other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer, thus eliminating the operating system for the BB to the computer in order to ensure that the version I want to reinstall a new version uploaded.

    Get the latest Desk Top software DTS)
    http://us.BlackBerry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&CP=OTC-DSKTPSW

    and install it on the computer.

    Get the latest version of the operating system

    http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    and save it on computer.

    If the PC does not recognize the BB, you connect via the USB cable. Then remove the battery from the BB.
    With the battery pulled, connect the BlackBerry to the USB connector, and as SOON as you see USB - PIN: UNKNOWN, click Next. You must be quick. From there, you can put the battery in (make sure that you install the battery or else when completed the update of the OS and the device disconnects from the computer to restart, it will lose the power supplied by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to start all over again!).

    If you don't get it right the first time, try again (debrancher unplug the USB, remove battery, connect and click next while USB - PIN: unknown shows). You must be quick and the timing is key, so it may take you three or four attempts.

    To erase all data on your BlackBerry device, follow these steps.

    (1) download JL_Cmder http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html

    (2) install JL_Cmder to the computer.

    (3) double check you have already saved the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose all data.

    (4) make sure that DTS is closed and plug in the BB to the computer via USB

    (5) to reach the JL_Cmder on your computer and double-click it to start. Now, it may take a few tries to connect, so persevering until he does.

    (6) on the first screen, press a key to continue.

    (7) now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N".

    8) press 4 to start CLEANING

    (9) press on 'Y' to continue

    (10) now type "blackberry" to continue

    (11) on the BB, you see a white screen with an error "507". Don't worry, that's what you want! You are now ready to install the operating system.

    Launch the new Desk Top software on the computer

    (1) on the homescreen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > update my device.

    (2) click on view the other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.

    (3) click on install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had problems with an application, do not install it.

    Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is finished and restarted the device.

    After 10 minutes, restart again by removing the battery slot while tension and leave for a few minutes.

    Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functional BB!
