It is possible to say what OS blackBerry Smartphones is on the device by the serial number on the box?

I just got a BB curve and it has OS 4.3. I want OS 4.5, but I have a mac so I can't load. I also went in several sprint stores, and they could not update my BB for me.

So, I'm wondering if you can tell what the OS can be on the device (e.g., date of manufacture) from serial number. If you can, everyone has no idea what to look for in the number of SS or how to interpret it? I think going back to the store where I bought mine and its replacement by a new one with a serial number later and I want to make sure I get one with 4.5.

There is no device OS 4.5 Sprint out of the box.  Sprint is not released 4.5, so that they are all 4.3 now.

There is no way to determine the operating system of the number on the box, either.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones changes to the calendar after update

    I recently did the software update proposed in consequence of which I had to re - install Facebook. Since then, I found that when I go to enter a new appointment, there are some new top that says send to help: and I choose Facebook, home, or office (the 2 is what I call my email accounts)

    I don't want this option here, especially since the default value is Facebook (he seems to be in alphabetical order)

    Is it possible to get rid of this option or at least change it so I can choose my own default?

    Hello

    The BlackBerry smartphone has the ability to maintain multiple calendars. You can select your timetable and services default e-mail to the title of the default Services Options-Advanced Options.

    Send using option is there Design and cannot be deleted because it specifies which calendar you want to use for your appointment you will enter in.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not save device, no BB browser and cannot email a/c configuration

    BlackBerry Tour 9630 - OS 5.0

    Problem:

    I got this phone from a friend who bought it at the Sprint USA. I've now warned

    a Blackberry plan with my operator in France. I got a Blackberry message:

    "Your handheld device was registered by the wireless network.

    I got this message a few times when I rebooted the Blackberry. However, now

    I'm trying to set up the e-mail account, he said that the device was not registered and

    follow the following instructions:

    Options -> Advanced Options -> host Routing Table -> sign up now

    Which I did and then received the following message:

    "The registration message sent."

    But I never received any confirmation. I contacted my ISP

    but since they have not marketed the 9630 they can really help.

    We tried to configure and save manually the device on a web browser

    on your desktop:

    mobileemail. Vodafone.fr

    It worked, I was able to add my device with my PIN and IMEI code and

    Add an email. But still nothing on my mobile device... :'(

    "Your device was a conencting the server problem.

    Also I always "Activation required" on the top of the screen.

    Could someone please help with this question? I don't really know how

    retrieve the blackberry browser and for labour to send it.

    Internet seems to work very well, I can access to Whatsapp, viber

    and the web via Opera browser... But I just wanted to know if it is

    possible to make full use of the Blackberry options

    Hello again,

    Given that I had no solution and nothing to lose, I decided to reset the factory setting

    my Blackberry by smoothing on...

    And guess what... Everything seems to work perfectly well. I was able to set

    e-mail messages. Browser and Blackberry logo are here! So I guess that there are incompatibilities

    with the settings already on the phone and the new (from my ISP).

    In any case I still don't know why it is still written Activation required on top of my screen and also

    When I switch on the mobile, it is still not able to 'register' on the phone. Even if every thing

    seems to work fine now.

    Thanks for your help.

    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) books of forwarding Service

    • 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 this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones get to the original image to ico icons

    Hello:

    (Not sure but I think an icon using a .ico image.) "So that's why I want to talk to 'ico' in my title).

    As you can see in this screen grab image

    http://i721.Photobucket.com/albums/ww213/LaurieLou04/online/munch_2012_06_17_091336.PNG [line]

    I have about 5 icons with one? on this subject.  How I could get them to display as a picture/ico icon?  I can't say that the icon is meant without clicking on it & opening each one.

    In doing so, I can tell you that those missing seems to be:

    Explorer music apps

    Explore rintone apps

    Explore video apps

    Recorder Notes

    I think they disappeared when I removed a theme.  The theme has disappeared, but does not have these back how they were originally.

    I had to get rid of the theme he changed all the icons & being new on the phone, am still learning what mean icons and so when the theme changed them, added to my confusion

    TIA

    as I suspected... If you see these original themes that were provided with the unit it self... try to switch to another theme and then go back to the default theme and check?

  • 9380 blackBerry smartphones cannot start the App World after the operating system upgrade + card

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I'm sorry, but the errors you posted seem somewhat independent... so I need clarification please:

    Unfortunately, "did not work" is not really diagnosable. What, exactly, have you tried? What, exactly, happened every step of what you tried?

    (2) BB App World must be closed

    I do not see how these two errors are related to the first, you were trying to throw the maps app when it appeared? For the second, which came with the maps app? Or is separate #2 and lies somewhere in the process by using your AppWorld? Complete step by step of what you try, with a full explanation of what is happening at each stage, including the full text of all error messages, is essential to understand your situation and if all goes well to guide. Otherwise, we have to guess...

    So I guess. My guess is that, once you upgrade to 7.1, you don't have to perform a few extra steps to ensure that all services were properly enabled on your BB. Here are the steps. I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...)

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery.

Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

  • PROCESS of RESTARTING of blackBerry Smartphones IS at the point of DEATH

    I tried to reboot my device by removing the battery and reinsert. The restart process gets to about 60% of the way through and then stops. On the screen, the white line, showing the progress extends just to the right of the touchpad with about 1 cm to complete.  I tried to connect to the Fund Manager, but it does not detect the phone in this State. Any ideas. Can it be linked to the level of battery power?  Clearly a software problem. Is it possible to go beyond this crash?

  • Updated blackBerry smartphones shaped on the "BOLD"

    I would like to get my "BOLD" woman, she likes the look feel of the size of the curve (I a) but would like to have the installation in the form of Word/Excel/Powerpoint, one of the additional features of the bold on the curve. However, I'm getting confused advice on its ability to be formatted. In the mobile stores I get the blank face predictable, they don't even know not it formats not these applications, or I get another typical lack of reactions of knowledge! I played with a "BOLD" demo in a Vodafone store and tried to open the Word application, he told me that he does not have a standard edition on this device, it's need the premium edition! Ditto for Excel and Powerpoint. What the eck bloomine that means? The 'Help' guy in the store said Oh, "mmmmm, don't know what that means, this demo is just out of the box that you would get if you own one of us. I'll ask the blackberry rep when she arrives next week. »

    So, can someone explain if the "BOLD", as it is a normal customer, has the ability to format? Also would like to know, assuming he did, how 'well' is? I can't believe that's all that comes with them on MS Office on a pc, so I guess that these are versions of incision that allow common tasks. In particular, I would like to know how usable and effective it is with Powerpoint presentations.

    Thank you in anticipation

    There nothing risky about the upgrade of OS 4.5, your backup device completely as it should, first of all.

    The few problems that you notice on various forums are those who have problems, and some do more because of not following the instructions completely. It is much less common for those who have updated to write "all right."

  • Missing language of blackBerry Smartphones entries on the Blackberry Curve 9300

After that, I restored my backup file but when I finished the configuration and tried to change the input language, the Portuguese file was missing (I only have English and English WE available).

    I have instaled the firware once tried to restore a backup completed yet another, but nothing has worked so far.

    You have any other suggestions? I am really annoyed at this...

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    From your post, I can't say whether you have followed all the necessary procedures. Therefore, you might need, some, or none of this...

    Language support on a BB is a combination of:

    1. Installation on your BB, a bundle of BONES which includes the language of your choice
    2. Including, in this installation, the language you want (two locations, I recall)
    3. Activation, on the BB, the language of your choice

    So, please, start here... it's how you choose the package operating system appropriate for your needs:

    • KB05305 Location of support for BlackBerry smartphones

    Then choose your package via this Portal:

    Then, from a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model number) to a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. 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

    Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with 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:
