Issue of updates blackBerry Smartphones

I guess update of this device is more complicated, so I was told. The support REP store Tech Verizon said everything I have to do is dial * 228 on my phone and press option 1 approximately every 30 days. But now I see after surfing this site it's updates online here and at home on a PC and telephone service provider.  So, what is the best way to keep updated device software?

RKL

Hello!

The * 228 update (option to use 2 times a month) will update your roaming profile - like VZW deployed more laps, your BB must be able to find and update the roaming profile accomplishes that.

The BB itself also works a BONE - and, like all operating systems, it is updated at any time. Your operator controls which version of the operating system that they certify, so you will find their updates here:

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

You can also perform updates here:

http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/devices/

As well as install the desktop software provided with your BB - this will make it check for updates and do things according to the needs.

Which of these three is 'better' is an appeal from the judgment - that only you can make.

Good luck!

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones / Device Manager issue

    Hey guys, I have a problem.

    I recently acquired a Blackberry 8330 and let me start by saying this: it's one of the best machines I've ever held. It is simply amazing.

    I installed the Device Manager and have been using it without any problem. Then, I went and did an update wireless with my phone, the upgrade of the OS. Since I did this, however, the Manager has recently stopped recognizing my device - my computer recognizes him again, as he charges when it is plugged in and I can always access to the hard drive, but for some reason, I cannot use the Device Manager to do anything - down, States in the Device Manager there is no trendy Black Berry as shown by the 'None' exposed next to the Pin number.

    What can I do? I really need to access blackberry via the Device Manager. Someone, please help > _

    Things I've tried:

    -Restart the Blackberry (both by pressing the red button and pull the battery and re insert)

    -Update the device to the more recent version Manager

    -The latest version is uninstalled, then download and install the version provided with the blackberry (4.2)

    I noticed that the CD that came with the device itself does not contain the most recent edition of the Device Manager, if that means anything. It's just weird that the Device Manager has stopped working after I upgraded. Currently, my OS is V4.5.0.175. I've recently updated both my 8310 Black Berry - same question parents. Before, I could access it via Device Manager. Now, I can't. Please help me!

  • Data not updated blackBerry Smartphones when inactive phone

    Hi all

    Recently, I removed my main of my device e-mail address while he is on vacation.

    I just put back it, but now I find that data (emails and BBM) are not updated when the phone was in bag for awhile.

    If I put myself in response to or sending emails or BBM of unit all starts update again and all emails in circulation and BMMs come out at the same time.

    Everything working the normal flow is restored, but after being in the Pocket for awhile everything stops again.

    Any ideas?

    I noticed the problem when I started getting these archaic messages called SMS asking me why I do not answer to my BBM... naturally the idea of not receiving them is scaring me senseless!

    Kind regards

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones os6 and all I have is black screen reset/reload 'Blackberry '.

    I have a Bold 9650 and last night I updated to OS6, the undate seemed to go ok, I even had a little video to show the features, but then he told me that I had to update my email addresses, and when I did I was told to reboot to complete the update.  At this point I got was the start to the top/reload screen that says Blackberry with the white flag of the restart procedure.  The complete line indicating that the process is complete, but it is stuck on this screen.

    I have taken the battery several times, and the same process is repeated.  Any ideas on how to get my phone working again?

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much for this information.  It was my original plan, but I didn't know how to go on this issue.

    I ended up going in Blackberry Desktop Software and applications, I noticed that I had 2 email, configure applications.  Since this is what I was doing when it failed, I removed the older (thought it was probably the surplus OS5 and incompatible with the new OS) and it worked.  I did a restore and everything seems to work fine now.  And I'm diggin' OS6!

    Thanks again!

  • Updated blackBerry Smartphones to 5.0.0.900 and can not synchronize Organizer data now

    I have a Curve 8520 I updated my device / desktop softwear at 5.0.0.900 and can not synchronize Organizer data any longer.

    When I go to the Organizer, I can not select the checkboxes for the address book, calendar, tasks, Memo.

    When I press on the settings of a window opens which is called BlackBerry data synchronization and he said to determine the name of configuration root for the main system...

    On top of that then pops up another window called Intellisync

    and he said: X unknown error reported. My only choice is OK.

    I tried using the former Office Director to synchronize my organizing data which worked fine and synced my microsoft outlook email, calendar and contacts from my phone very well. Now, it will not synchronize the two. It also gives me an unknown error.

    Please advice, I have to get my data from Organizer synchronized again.

    Thank you

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Have you installed on your PC, the new device OS package? And, if so, did you also remove any prior OS package PC?

    Otherwise, a clean startover might be in order:

    I suggest the following steps (reboot insert a lot of restarting your PC... not only restarts, but at full power down). In addition, it is recommended that you are connected to the PC on an account with full administrator rights. In addition, under Vista/Win7, use the option "Run As Administrator" for everything.

    In addition, it was also reported that when your user profile on windows (type "echo %UserProfile%" in command prompt) contains spaces, then the installer will not work. To resolve this issue, log off from your Windows account and sign in using the local administrator account (or any other name of account without spaces) and install office (for all users).

    (1) remove the package to update your device OS of your PC (Add/Remove Programs)

    (2) properly uninstall the RIM DTM software:

    • KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    • Some noted that there are several registry keys to remove talk in this KB... don't forget to get your all associated with RIM registry database
    • Others have reported the use of a registry cleaning tool to be also useful
    • Still others have reported the use of your original PIM (Outlook, NOTES, etc.) Installation CD, run the "repair" to be helpful in some situations process

    (3) get a new RIM DTM software download:

    • Choose the version which is more recent and (if any) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
    • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

    (4) to download a new copy of your package to your carrier OS device (on your PC):

    (5) install DTM on your PC

    Installation of 6) (also on your PC), device OS package

    (7) start the configuration Organizer:

    • KB17022 How to configure applications to Organizer for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager

    If all goes well, who's going to make things again.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • Issues with BBM blackBerry Smartphones 2

    Hi, first I have a Bold 9700 and my contract covers everything (internet/email/bbm, etc.). (Edit: and I am on Orange, to the United Kingdom, if it makes a difference.)

    But whenever I've been on BBM it has not looked like all the manuals of the user here say it should - I don't see the display picture of anyone, and I can't add my own. When I looked at the online books and tried to follow the instructions, the layout / interface was different textbooks suggest it should - and I tried a number of different versions of more textbooks, is not that I am looking at the wrong version.

    However, I did check and noticed that I was on a version 4 something BBM. I had the link to update sent to my phone and updated. However, now the BBM icon has disappeared from my home page and I can't find anywhere to get back. I had been able to always get him well "switch application", but I restarted my phone and now I can not even find BBM through the application of switch option either.

    I noticed something here on the RIM, I guess that's the issue, but I don't know why it would be. I did not add anything like that to my phone, but as I say, the complete package of my service provider, so I could not see any reason why I wouldn't be able to upgrade my BBM on my device.

    Any help to recover the icon would be massively appreciated (while I want the display pic problem to work, I'm more interested in being able to get on BBM himself first!)

    Thanks in advance for any help, greatly appreciated!

    I would say this: use your BlackBerry Messenger feature to back up your contacts, you have now, and also, do a full backup using the Desktop Manager.

    Then go into Options > Advanced > Applications and scroll the Messenger app and do not click it, just highlight it. Click Menu > delete and remove the application.

    Now, do a restart: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Finally, use your BlackBerry browser to go to http://blackberry.com/blackberrymessenger and download/install again the Messenger application.

    After installation and reboot if necessary, check your instant messaging, or downloads of the application folder.

    You can restore your contacts from the application of v.5 BBM or from Office Manager > Backup/Restore > advanced.
