Issue of GPS for Smartphones blackBerry device...

Given that the "BOLD" has the GPS function, do we really like ATT provider to use?

I noticed that Garmin has the software to use and that he did not know if you are required to have two subscriptions such as ATT and the other for Garmin.

Make sense?

Thank you

Yes you need to subscribe to an additional plan... Your blackberry; like most other smartphones. A - GPS [Assisted Global Positioning System] has built into it. This means that it requires access to data services to lock onto your position. Uses still A - GPS cell phone towers to triangulate your position, once there GPS takes care of the rest. Czech it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Phone

Sorry, this isn't a correct information. You don't need an additional data plan, and it's not requiring an A - GPS cell tower triangulation.

For example, I can (and have) remove the SIM card from my GPS-enabled 8900 or 9000 and walk outside and refresh the GPS acquire satellites, in this case, to locate me 4.3 meters. This satellite, no A - GPS or cell tower triangulation.

  • Smartphones blackBerry device software upgrade, does not (Bold 9930)

    Bold 9930, Verizon,.

    Everything was going well 5 hours ago. Backup and synchronization with Desktop Manager and everything was good. I clicked on the 'Device upgrade' link. He me everything first download and install the new Desktop Manager software. This seemed to work properly. Then it downloaded the new software device and conclusive to upgrade of the unit.

    7.1 bundle, 2705 (v7.1.0.991 platform 5.1.0.678)

    The Setup program indicates that the new software has been installed, and then it seems to want to reboot the device. The device never returns, ends with an App error 606.

    I loaded the cool device software, without change. Removed Software Desktop, loaded fresh, then loaded a fresh device software, without change.

    I tried to load my old device software but the Desktop Manager will not allow him.

    I reloaded software device 3 times, always the same behavior, always the same error at the end.

    I'm out of ideas.

    Any help?

    This bit is quite unusual... done correctly, you can force any OS on your BB package as long as it's your exact model number. So I'm not sure if you're really using all the good stuff... so, even if a lot of this will be redundant, please examine carefully for subtle tricks do you need to... done correctly, this can heal the situation. But any errors on the way (not ignored, stage not completed correctly, etc.) invalidates the whole process and translates the automatic process of support and limited to only the OS packages currently supported by your specific carrier.

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do 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.

    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:

  • Charging Curve 8900 Smartphones blackBerry device software

    Hi I have a problem with my Blackberry device software, how to remove and re intsal software on my Curve 8900?

    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:

    1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.

    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    2. make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    3. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

    4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."

    5. This step is not necessary unless there is a problem on the next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a full backup), then after you get the 507 error (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6

    6 remove the internet connection for PC and reboot the PC.

    7. plug the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.

    8. If you did step 5, restoration of the back upward. Follow this KB if necessary http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Device Email address Question

    Hello!

    Is there anyway, I can change my address of E-mail BlackBerry Device? When I signed up the first time, I could put 'james' jamie 'no' (which is my nickname)

    Someone has an idea?

    Thank you

    James

    I believe you can. You not remove the account from the BIS, just the e-mail account. You won't have any future emails transferred from the old to the new, you lose nothing of the old address when you remove it.

    Another reason not to use these addresses (outside all uncontrollable mails they collect).

  • Static IP for Smartphones blackBerry via WIFi

    Hello

    For my research, I need to connect a 8900 "BOLD" to a wireless gateway that does not DHCP or DNS. I am able to assosiate with the gateway and assign a static IP address for the BB. However I can't ping the IP address of the gateway. I can't do a ping to the gateway using other clients (my laptop) so I know the entry door is not the problem. Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing?

    It is the output of the Wi - Fi connection profile screen:

  • Keyboard for Smartphones blackBerry with three languages + other question

    Hello, question about the keyboard. I've used for several years, both physical KB (z30) virtual bb10 KB (passport - best physics kb). Something that both got kb was very well the ability to write in several languages at the same time, in the sentence, and the Ko magically would correctly identify what language I was using and could give me any suggestions according to this and more important still, if one has been written in English but then type something in my second or third language , will not auto correct. Now, I have a private and I have these two questions:
    1. - I can not type in several languages at the same time without changing the language first. I put the three I use most, but all the suggestions and auto correct options are in the main language only. I'm surprised because this has been well implemented with bb10 and yet a BlackBerry smartphone. Any suggestion?
    2 - for some reason, in mid sentence, a word would have the first capital letter, just the option in the space bar is the same word I wrote, but with a capital letter. Boring.

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    Sorry for the late reply, I didn't know you posted a suggestion... I had put everything in settings multilingual, but did not work. However apparently, in android, there's the thing that I found in another forum so let me add here... I followed these instructions step by step and now I have a kb truly multilingual, with automatic detection... some steps I've done it before with no luck but to do all in sequence... If you previously installed the multilanguage, delete it and start from scratch:

    1. install and activate the BlackBerry keyboard
    * Go to the language and entry
    * Go to "default keyboard / current keyboard", press "configure the inputs.
    method' and activate the BlackBerry keyboard
    * Select BlackBerry keyboard as default keyboard

    2 configure the keyboard
    * Under the keyboard and input methods, tap on the BlackBerry keyboard
    * Press on multilingual keyboard
    * Choose your main language (which is in German) and the secondary
    language (IE. US English)
    * Press on save at the top right and click on "activate now".
    * You will now see a dialog language. Disable 'language use of the system '.

    AND NOW COMES THE BIG THING:
    * In the language list that is displayed, you will notice that your
    main language is listed TWICE (in my case GERMAN and just below a
    second GERMAN. Select the SECOND ENTRY and DO NOT select your
    language school (in my case English of the United States) in the list.
    * Press return to save the configuration

  • Upgrade to Smartphones blackBerry device software

    Hi, I downloaded a v4.6.0.126 of software for device updated after finding the link in another thread.

    In my DM when I click on and then go in the device software tab it shows there like v4.6.0.126 4.0.0.135 platform, so I installed it all correctly.

    My question is, how to install some applications of this new operating system updated on my phone?

    I found another thread that has steps to do this, but I can't seem to make it work.

    Whenever I click on the application loader the only things in the list are what I downloaded manually i.e. google map, nav4all.

    I would not see a list off apps like blackberry maps, Messenger etc.?

    -Download the software update

    -Run and install the newly downloaded program.

    -Do not check the option to open the Office Manager at the completion of the installation.

    -Go to C:\Program Files Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete Vendor.xml

    -Connect the BlackBerry to USB

    -Open the Desktop Manager

    You will be prompted for the update at this point. (Otherwise select Application Loader) and you will get the prompt for updating.

    Note: Before performing an update of the OS, it's a good idea to back up your BlackBerry, just in case something goes wrong.

  • Smartphones blackBerry device software upgrade problem

    Hi all

    I have a Blackberry 8310. He was originally AT & T service, but he now has the T-Mobile. It is unlocked and currently leads the software 4.2.2.170.

    I'm moving to 4.5. I downloaded the software from T-mobile, here for the 8320. They have no 8310 software, and told me that it shouldn't make a difference:

    http://www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade/

    I followed the instructions here:

    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/How_do_I_upgrade_the_OS_on_my_BlackBerry%3F

    (I tried method 1 and method 2)

    However, it will not install little matter what I do. I even tried using CrackMem.

    Get to step 6 of method 2 for example, I'm never invited to install the upgrade. When I look into the application loader on BB Desktop under applications to update or install new applications, the software update is never there.

    No idea why the upgrade won't install? Is it because the phone's ex - AT & T?

    One last thing - it was originally hooked up to BES and so had a top COMPUTER policy. I wiped by using method 2 here:

    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/Remove_IT_Policy

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    One that you said that the software and the model doesn't matter, said you bad.

    Well, software loading 8320 in to a 8310 photo an accident of room StarTrek carrier... same results.

    Go to the AT & T software download site and get the right device OS for the 8310.

    When you go to install it, you need to remove the provider. XML file. This step is listed in your procedure

    I have the number of site and the version to download for you at the bottom of the post.

    When you start the download of software peripheral BONES of AT & T, save the file to disk, do not run.

    When the download is complete, then go to the directory on the PC you have loaded to and run the

    self-extracting file. The software will be installed in the directories in the files of the Office Manager

    If the application loader will find it.

    Follow each step exactly as written now from the first step of the procedure of FAQ.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Whenever random strange behaviors creep, the best 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, this one suffers memory leaks and other... with a hard reboot is the best remedy. Some have taken to do this on a recurring basis as a preventive measure.

    Best!
