Keyboard of blackBerry Smartphone accessing during calls that I do

I just got my Blackberry Storm yesterday because my Palm LifeDrive (which I liked) has a cracked screen and I wanted to migrate to an integrated phone/PDA solution.  My previous phone was a LG Dare I loved also.  It's just for the context.  Problem: when I call I want the pad to display by default.  It is heavy to go button options and then try to press the option "Show keyboard" during a call.  One of the default options that displays for "Speaker" when I make a call is annoying more useful because I accidentally turned on the speakerphone during a call several times.  Is there a way to change these options?  I searched these forums and the web, but couldn't find any doubt even closer, if I used probably just the wrong search terms.  Thanks for any help in this sense - I don't really like most of the things on this phone and read these forums helped me already.

When phone mode, there is a small keyboard at the bottom left icon - you can press that instead of having to hit BBmenu > keyboard.  But apart from that, I don't think there is a way to have the keyboard default upward.

As speaker, you should study an application similar to TalkLock or StormSlider they lock the screen during calls preventing the presses of the screen.

  • BlackBerry Storm 9530 smartphones stops during calls

    Hello

    My first Blackberry, it's a Storm 9530, and everything seems as it should be-except that it will completely die during calls. Not all the time, but most of the time. (about 4 to 5 times)

    Sometimes I hear a noise from the Bzzz electronic, then the red light comes on, I think I can see an error screen (briefly - not backlit)-then a white screen, then a small clock-face, then the start of Blackberry screen and the loading bar. Takes a few minutes to load, then it's as if nothing happened - until I make the next call.

    I have the Blackberry Desktop Manager on my Macbook. Tells me that newer software is available - but never successfully downloading it, often crashing out of it during the relief phase. The same software on my Windows PC won't even find my phone (even if it appears in the my computer window).

    I read in some messages in the forum, but did not find any problems.

    Here's the bad news: Yes, I bought it on ebay!  Unused and unlocked. I accept full responsibility for my actions! Oh!

    I'm in the United Kingdom using a Virgin SIM card. I realize this will give me limited use BB facilities - but, quite frankly, at this point even end a call would be a joy!

    It comes with a 12 month warranty, but before I send again, I thought I'd post on the forum in case it was a problem with an easy solution. Or any patch.

    Thanks in advance, L

    Well, I'm not really a superstitious person - but I hesitate to hit the solved button in case I have any jinx.

    But it seems that the software update has resolved the problem. So far, so good, anyway. Phone has not stopped since the update.

    Think I'll wait one more day, do a little more of screams and then click resolve.

    On a different note, which can be of interest for all Virgin UK customers: Virgin were to launch their friendly service of BB on January 4 this year, but it has been delayed. Currently, they only provide service BB for the curve and the torch (that they provide on contract). The new service would be welcome all BB phones which users on their own and use the Virgin fare. This year, the latest schedule come into force this service is end of February / beginning of March.

    I cross my fingers. So far, I have a smartphone that can be used for phone calls and texts! Tried to go back to my old Sony Ericsson - at least I could send and receive MMS.

  • BlackBerry smartphone accessing password Keeper data using office software

    I recently had a pressure of crack in the LCD screen on my Curve 8310.

    I need to access my passwords stored in password keeper, however given that the LCD is toast, impossible to read anything on the phone.

    I'm waiting on a replacement LCD screen, but need to pass, as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Are there programs to display the program on the pc?

    I tried a solution that actuall work, so I thought I'd post in case anyone else has this same problem.

    I had previously saved data for my Blackberry Curve 8310 using the office management software.

    I downloaded a Simulatr for my Curve 8310 and installed the software.  I found the Simulator to the BlackBerry Smartphone simulators - URL

    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/developers/resources/simulators.jsp

    Once the program was installed, I ran the program, which shows a picture of the phone.

    I started my office management software.

    Now to back in the Smartphone Simulator

    In the menu, I selected 'USB cable connected' which simulates the connection of the smartphone.

    Once I did this, the office management software prompted me to create settings then phone again.

    Once I implemented this new virtual phone, I restored my backup from the virtual desktop management software to the new.

    I could then use the mouse to go to the password manager and open the program.  It prompted me for my password and all data appeared.

    Hope this helps someone else.  Good luck.

  • E-mail blackBerry Smartphone Accessing account telephone e-mail settings and BBerry

    My problem is with my Blackberry Torch 9810 e-mail accounts. I have two accounts and it doesn't seem to work. I tried to access my accounts but now get a login to the screen of Bberry with [Personal Information deleted] ID and ask for password. I never have that in place. When I use the 'forgotten password' button, I get a message that reset instructions were sent to [Personal Information deleted] I have no idea how to do to access this account. Can you help me?

    If BB ID is, as you say, new for you, then someone has configured this device with a BBID, and you can or don't want that. BBID is used to help to be sort of a "single sign on" to many things... BIS configuration, BBM, BB Protect email, etc. If you have not created this ID from BB, while you should really do is delete and create a new brand for yourself, that you store the credentials for, as you will need it from time to time (as you do now).

    To remove the unit BBID and then create one for you, you must WIPE totally clean unit... This will make the device as it was brand new, so all the data and the applications that you have installed will be gone.

    Make sure that you have good backup of everything, as you need it - you can find the backup instructions in the auto-sig on this post.

    But, if there is a chance that this BB ID is indeed something you created, but simply forgot, then you can try to get back into it. To do this, start first with them please:

    However, if you do not have access to this e-mail account, or if you have never successfully validated your BBID account, then your challenge is much larger, and you have a choice to make depending on your situation:

    1. If you have no AppWorld records you need to keep (for example, buy folders for the applications), then simply drop the BB ID and create a new. To do so, however, requires a device WIPE:

    2. But, if you do not have AppWorld documents that you need to keep, then you need human intervention. To receive, you must ring to the top of your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. In addition, you must convince BlackBerry you with a solution - which probably will be reset your current BB ID so that you can access it again or you will need to create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase to the wire records. Note that I don't know if they will be willing to do, but there is no other way I know of to keep your prior AppWorld purchase records.

  • BlackBerry smartphones may not call, even texts

    Hey geniuses BlackBerry,.

    I scoured the forums and can't seem to find a situation like mine, so that's.  I will try to be as accurate as possible.  I have a 8100 Pearl who is suddenly not spend or receive phone calls.  I did some 'new' things today with him then maybe one of them triggered it.

    I tried to connect my Pearl to my computer with a USB cable to access a few pictures on it for the first time today.  I realized that I didn't have a media card, so I thought that I could access it in the Desktop Manager, but unfortunately my computer does not recognize that I had plugged my Pearl.  He did, however, continue to make those computers grateful noises do when a disc is inserted and removed.  The noises that happened over and over again.  Then, the best part: my computer screen went blue and said (I don't remember Word for Word) there was a kind of "software bug" we found who was related to the BlackBerry device and had to do a memory dump.  The computer fine and somehow, nothing is lost.

    I only did texts on my phone today so I have no way of knowing if I had the ability to the appellant when I woke up this morning.  I had call capacity last night, however.  A friend tried to call me and texted me that he kept getting an "error message" whenever it did, at the moment, I can still send and receive texts.  When I try to make a call about 2 seconds ago from this light, background noise of static-y connection, then it disconnects; I get no messages telling me that there was an error or anything else.  He ran an analysis of security a few times after that I put the battery and card SIM that doesn't happen when I turn on my phone normally, so I don't know if this is notable or if this happens usually when the card or the battery came out and replaced.

    I seem to not have adequate (3 bars), there is no red "SOS" on the screen and the wireless is turned on.  When I got the phone I had the problem with "SOS" signal, but have not had anything since then; It has been a few years since that happened.

    I have removed and reinserted my SIM card, removed my battery for 30 seconds and reinserted and tried to go through the menu 'Options' to try to discern if it is not apparent that I turned off or on low (I had no idea what I was doing).  I'm at the point where I am ready to start sacrificing things to the gods of BlackBerry to get my calls abilities restored, so if there is someone who can offer me a solution less violent I would be very happy.  Also, if you have an idea about what happened with my Blue's computer that's cool too, but I'm more concerned about the problem by calling.

    Thank you

    Casey

    Hi Casey and welcome to the forums,

    Since you have already reset your handset to reinsert the battery.  I would first of all to distinguish whether it's your card SIM or Blackberry problem.

    You can put your Blackberry SIM in another phone, for example Nokia, to ensure you can make and receive calls to exclude, it is a card sim or network problem.  If you can not make calls on your Nokia phone, simply contact your carrier to find out why, could be they banned your access or sim error of voice call.

    If your sim card is very good, there are two possibilities

    1. If you use your blackberry with BES, your COMPUTER administrator can have banned users to voice calls, check with him or her, or compare it with other users of blackberry with the same strategy (BB, go to > options > security options > and check the name of COMPUTER policy with colleagues who can make calls)

    2. problem with your blackberry software problem, I suggest you to recharge or upgrade your device software.  I noticed that you mentioned that your PC is unable to detect your device properly, please follow this KB to reload the software http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB10144

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Bluetooth and Caller ID

    Hi all!

    New to the forum and there seems to be a lot of information to absorb around here.  I searched for a while, without success, an answer to the following question:

    Any BlackBerry smartphones (Bold, Tour, Cure, etc.) send two contact person AND number via bluetooth caller ID info or just the phone number?

    I'm playing with a Gigaset One / XLink Bluetooth gateway for home phones and that the number is going on the wireless phone, even if the name is known and displayed on my phone.  The manufacturer said that not all phones will send the name even if it is stored.

    So, I'm trying to understand if the BlackBerry 9000 "BOLD" does not send name, gateway does not pass along or cordless phone is not read it.

    Any help or information relating to the identification of the appellant via bluetooth would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Well, it seems that only the BlackBerry phones send only the number and not the name when it comes to Bluetooth caller ID information.  Even if you have contacts stored in your phone, and it comes up with a name and a number, only the number will be sent to the Bluetooth device.

    I received an email from XLink, indicating as they do know that the MotoRokr and iPhone (no specified people) actually don't send name and number calling info ID via Bluetooth, but BlackBerry does not.  I would check this info before I bet on it if.

    So, if you plan to use a Bluetooth compatible device to read or make the ID information calling pass of your BlackBerry terminal (telephone wireless, hands-free system, etc.) certainly has enough space to hold all of your contacts that you will get only the Caller ID names for numbers stored in the terminal.

    In addition, you do not want to look for one who can read contacts via Bluetooth from your mobile/smartphone specific rather than spending hours entering all contacts by hand.

    My headache started when I bought a Gigaset One / Xlink Cellular Gateway and has not obtained the names of the caller ID on the AT & T wireless phone.  Many cordless phones have only a directory number 50 which is not sufficient.  This phone has replaced by TL92270 of AT & T that indicates it can match and 1500 charge contacts of 4 cell phones (Yes, 6000 in total).  That should be enough... :-)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones not installation account that I was using before

    BlackBerry has sent a message that he is not able to authenticate e-mail and password for account.  This is the same account, password and email as it has been for the past two years.  TI guy says change to Iphone or Android - less interface problems.

    Followed the instructions to a "T" and it says "invalid email address or password".  Technician COMPUTER confirms the two still the same and I can always access e-mail via mobile phone.  In the server host rolled etc. "just as requested.

    At a loss on how to set up email FYI - yahoo and Google put in place transparent simply not with outlook.  Was no question for the past two years.

    I deleted and restarted several times without success and continued to get the same message. But late last night after continuing to try to add once again, this has worked. I can't explain what happened but it works know.

    Thanks for the tips.

  • HELP blackBerry Smartphones: intercepted the calls missed on the fritz, no Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

    Hi all - I tried to figure this thing out of these last hours... and I'm about to smash my phone against the wall (of course, I've gotten nowhere with it).

    Here's the problem: about 2 days ago I noticed that my phone is no longer maintaining missing calls in the call log (the last "missed calls" are dated 3/22). Instead, what happens is that I'm going to take notice of the number of calls on my home screen, but then when I go on my call log, I see that calls that were actually sent or received and not those missed. Not long after that notice, the following message appeared: Eception Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException. Also, until this happened, I used to get a pop up after each missed call that would tell me that I missed a call and give me the possibility to display or dismiss the alert. Is no longer comes after he missed a call, so I think it's the functionality of java which was damaged.

    So I tried to pull the battery and all that jazz, but nothing has changed. At one point, pulling the battery caused the phone to give me some other errors of java and back to put on the original page of the home screen, but after removing the battery once more, everything is returned to my original problem. Only happened once. Today I finally decided to search online for a quick fix and I was thinking about something. I tried pulling the battery and remove the sim/memory card, then tried to re-sync, then try clearing the addressbook of device and re-sync, tried to backup everything, then checked more OS updates (mine is already the most recent)... and now I'm stuck. The only thing I have not actually tried is wiping and nine with a reload of the OS. I would really like to avoid this

    Also, for some reason after that the software update RIM has checked my phone for its version of the OS, my ringtone settings reset itself. Not sure if this is related to the java problem or just a chance to complication/bad?

    Does anyone have an idea what could have happened to my phone? It is literally out of nowhere, so you can imagine my frustration...

    Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Yes, you will need to remove the current operating system, and reload later.

    The software seems to be corrupted.

    Make sure you have the latest version of the software for your device and your carrier installed on the computer.

    It's the device, software, not the Office Manager.

    Once done, go to drive C: Program Files: common files: Research in Motion: App Loader and double-click on loader.exe.

    Once the Welcome screen appears, plug the battery in and click Next. When you see the PIN number appear after maybe a few minutes press next.

    Once he arrives at the device application part, select only things you need, uncheck all other languages, etc..

    On the last page before you click on finish, you see an option "EITHER", click here and make sure that both check boxes are fixed.

    Do not press the save option and select Finish

    This will fix the problem.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS during a call...

    Hello, all!

    I was wondering if there was a way of SMS on the phone with someone? On my Samsung Instinct, I was able to hold a telephone conversation during the filming of a text message to someone else, and the message was sent. However, on my Curve 8330, when I'm on the phone, I can go to the home screen and enter my text message Inbox, and same type of a message, but, when I hit "send", the message fails to send every time. BlackBerrys are generally not designed to send text messages during a call? Or y at - there any unknown parameter I've yet to discover on the device?

    See you soon,.

    Zachariah

    Yes, you should be able to send and receive an SMS message when a call, because they are the two characteristics of the "voice."  I did before with my son when on a phone call.  Works like a charm.

  • Keyboard for blackBerry Smartphones won't work - HELP PLEASE!

    My Curve 8900 is less than 6 months old, and suddenly the keyboad won't work, so I can't make/receive calls, and although the trackball works, it won't "click" to unlock. Seems to be an intermittent fault. As I have the Blackberry (it is not purchased via a service provider), I tried to contact customer service for Blackberry UK, who seems reluctant to deal with consumers. My service, O2 have been much more useful. How can I get a warranty repair/replacement, or solve the problem?

    Well, after a WEEK, I'm totally furstrated with Blackberry. They have NO customer service in the United Kingdom, and as I have the BB (not through my mobile service provider, with whom I have a single contract SIM) I could get repair/replacement of parts. the only way I knew solving it had to spend many hours in an O2 store in the United Kingdom (my service provider) who finally had sympathy with me and agreed to sent for repair/replecement. I had one today renovated. It seems that this keyboard problem is common - the guy in the O2 shop showed me a way to fix it temporarily, hold down the ALT and right SHIFT buttons and press the DELETE key twice. This gives the BB a battery quick re-difficulty.

    But I (and all of my colleagues (will now go to the iPhones, which are more reliable and they give better customer service.)) SHAME on Blackberry for their shoddy products and the non-existenet customer service.
