Just a mouth call - RIM BlackBerry Smartphones can't happen to a better way than the battery yank 'fix '?

I've had the storm for 6 days now and I've removed from the battery 3 times.

I mean seriously - it seems to me that lame.  The storm of all machines should have a better system than the yank the battery, wait 15 seconds solution.  / Rant over.

Glad that RIM is not a car manufacturer...

There are a couple of different 3rd applications that perform a soft reset, which works like a battery pull.   Give them a try.

The one I use with no. complains is soft reset.   It is the first in this list of apps.

LINK to a large number of good Apps.

Soft Reset (takes about 30 seconds for the next confirmation screen) Yay for not having to remove the battery.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not activate e-mail upon return to the United States

    I have a unlocked BB Torch which I have used successfully for international travel all summer, just to buy SIM cards in different countries.

    I returned yesterday to the United States and give my card AT & T SIM card in the phone.  Everything works (calls, texts, browser, BBM, Facebook, etc.)-with the exception of e-mail.  Nothing has pushed on the BB because I put the card in.

    I went to Setup-> e-mail-> activate account Email accounts and entered passwords for my two accounts (personal gmail and Google Apps work) but keep getting "sorry, cannot continue your session.  Please log in again. "Tried it more than 10 times with the same error message each time.

    Help.

    I had exactly the same question; If you're going to http://mobile.blackberry.com and select your region & carrier, you can then enter e-mail under the banner of connect, then select your email provider (or select other if they are not listed) and you can reconfirm your email account details. Once you have validated, your emails should start to come through, and you can then change your accounts through blackberry E-mail set up the application on the phone. I hope this helps!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can not get my 8330 to connect to the computer

    Hello, this is a new phone - replacement of a previous 8330.  Initially it connected very well and I downloaded the new software for it - I am running 4.5 on both desktop and handheld computer, I was able to sync my contacts and apps for the new phone - everything seemed fine.  A few days later, I connected to my computer to update my calendar and it still not connected.  When I first log in, it says as well on handheld computer and the computer on which it is plugged - then it just stops.  I know that it is connected to the computer because the computer - simply not recognize Office Manager.  I deleted the program from the computer three times now (oh yes, I tried it on work and home computers) and re-installed and nothing seems to work.  If anyone has any ideas, please help - I called Telus technical support and they couldn't tell me a * beep * thing either!

    Cool! Gald you guessed it work.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not connect to Internet / locked message screen

    Hello!!

     

    I have 2 questions that I hope someone can answer.

     

    #1), I have a unlocked new Curve 9300 OS5, checked with my cell phone provider to make sure that everything was compatible before I bought it. My cell phone operator's cellular consumption and their internet settings etc is the same as AT & T, but I am not able to connect to the internet. The phone I bought was a phone that has been configured for use with AT & T. My operator tells me that Blackberry phones are the only phones that they were not able to get to connect to the internet, all other phones that they have had no problem with, nice huh?  I do not understand why Blackberry phones, even those which is suitable for AT & T does not connect to the internet via cellular consumption, even using the same codes, or what you like AT & T, or so I thought. Someone, can someone help me to understand this or put me in touch with someone who can, I think Blackberry would learn this so that the problem can be solved, I know several people who would have liked to have bought Blackberry phones, but decided to not not having heard about my situation.

     

    Locked screen message #2). I watched the video and followed the direction, made several times to ensure that I was not missing anything and I still can't display locked message to change the message resolved to plant in my message. Any thoughts on this problem?

     

    Thanking all in advance for your time and your help.

    #1) to connect to the Internet with a BlackBerry, you need to have a BlackBerry plan data. Without this, you will get no data service, apart from a few wifi on a BlackBerry Smartphone services.

    (#2) you are sure that the device is 'new '? That the message is displayed on the lock screen?

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not navigate some Web sites

    I'm at my wits end. My wife has a curve, and using his blackberry, I can access my banking information online, followed by the parcel on the sites, to check all shipping.  On my Pearl, I can access sites, but I can't get my cursor in the areas of entry numbers.  I am making sense?  I tried to activate everything that I can enable... y at - it something wrong with my phone?

    The curve came with a newer version of the operating system of the factory. You can try to upgrade the operating system on your bead to a newer version. If you are using a version of another carrier, you will need to delete or rename the file vendor.xml, otherwise it will not be installed.

    • the BlackBerry smartphone can use applications developed in Java (or J2ME like any mobile phone or special files for devices BlackBerry ALX)
    • the phone smart BlackBerry with a browser that can do JavaScript and not Java applets.

    Question is: why do you think that you need Java?

    Hello

    I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

    a. right click on the Windows Explorer icon

    b. in the menu that appears, click Properties.

    c. in the target box, add the command line switch ' / root ' to the "% SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe" command, using the startup location that you want.

    d. for example, if you want Explorer of Windows to start at the root of drive C, edit the command as follows:
    % SystemRoot%\explorer.exe/root, C:\

    It will be useful.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not make or receive calls all of a sudden

    Since a few days, I have been unable to make or receive calls still yet I can text, email and Im without any problem. I get out the battery and then it works for a few hours and then stops again. Any ideas? Help, please!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    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, thinking... 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.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not make a call, but can receive calls

    Hello! I BBCurve9380 and somehow it just stopped making the calls, but I can still receive. I don't know if it's on the changed settings but on what I read in other forums, it's on the it policy. I checked mine and it says BBFS1 [GTALKAP1] and WLM 2.1 [WLMAP01]. I've updated all my apps and my computer can read my phone just fine. When I try to make a call, it automatically disconnects. Any help would be appreciated.

    In fact, you have a lot more work to do, in light of your acquisition method. Reference:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    For step 3 stages of seller, you should replace it and it will remove unit COMPUTER policy:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    However, later, when you restore, DO NOT do a full restore. On the contrary, do only a selective restore of only those databases that you absolutely need (e.g., contacts, calendar, messages) and specifically avoid restore databases that have nothing to do with HIM, political, business or other similar things. If you restore those, you'll just be right back where you are now, as a full restore will conscientiously COMPUTER policy again on your device.

    Note Please that I really have no idea if doing this will restore your ability to make calls... 100% of the information I have comes from what you have posted here. I'm guessing that the policy could be the cause of your problems, but I can't know that. No matter, since there is an IT strategy on board and you are not on BES, then you definitely want to get that deleted. But regarding if that will restore your ability to make calls, I have no way to predict the future... If something is the cause of this specific problem, then we'll have to deal with this - AFTER you remove the it policy so that we can be sure it does not hinder anything else.

    Good luck!
