My BB Torch for blackBerry Smartphones reads my messages out loud

Hi all, I have a problem with my flashlight. Every message I get (email and SMS) is read to me by my phone. How can I disable this "feature"? Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance Jule

Just curious, have you installed one of the free applications offered by RIM recently then forgotten it's there?

As an excuse for the recent outage, RIM offered as a free app drivesafe.ly.  This app reads emails and SMS messages aloud.  I suspect that you have installed and it does its job.

Let us know if this has been helpful.

  • My torch for blackBerry Smartphones became a brick? Help.

    I have an AT & T 9800 I unlocked and use on T-Mobile and last week Thursday July 7, I've updated being two Xobni address book applications, the other was Twitter for BlackBerry v2.0.0.16. When my flashlight restarted after downloading the two apps screen basically everything went black and the red light was then the phone started to reboot again from the beginning. I don't have a day to the new os 6.0.0.600 so I know not who has nothing to do with it, but it's weird that on the eve of this os was released my torch has stopped working. I tried to pull the battery on a million times and leave for a day, then try to start it, now I've been leaving the phone plugged into a power source and just running and constently through the restart process, but never turn on completely.

    I've tried everything I can think of and I tried to erase the device through my BlackBerry Protect using my BlackBerry ID application, but it can not connect to my device. I can't seem to get hold of someone at AT & T who can help me, anyone know any options at all for this problem. Thank you.

    Mark, I'm sorry to hear about your device problems!

    First of all, let's see if we can get your BONES removed from the device by using an application called BBSAK, you can get here.  That que telecharger download on your PC, then plug your device and launch the app BBSAK.  I hope that BBSAK will recognize your device and we will be able to erase the OS so you can recharge.

    If it does not, this method, although a bit outdated, has been used successfully many times.  Takes some patience, but it works.

  • My BB Torch for blackBerry Smartphones is a disaster, every day that it's even worse, today the battery died after half a day...

    Why carry a phone is to call

  • Questions of torch for blackBerry Smartphones

    UPDATE: I have blackberry maps once again, but he doesn't locate me well that google maps doesn't. I know that my GPS works but not on blackberry maps. Help, please. I thank very you much for your time.

    Hello

    I have problems with blackberry maps on my blackberry torch, yesterday I bought at telus

    It locate me so I removed it to reinstall, but now it won't let me install when I download the installation program.

    I know that my gps doesn't work because google maps can find me.

    Help, please

    the gps worked for my phone, it was just the blackberry maps did not work.

    If you do not have the blackberry maps icon, and your phone is Canadian (because I know with AT & T you do not get the blackberry icon cards unless you install it somehow, just search on google "How to install blackberry maps on at & t torch" and stuff should appear) then all you need to do is use the usb cable to connect your phone to your computer and install blackberry Device Manager. Then go to 'applications' and scroll to "blackberry maps" and add the checkbox and continue, it must be installed. I wonder if it does for an American telephone, probably not.

    I figured out that blackberry maps is zero unless you have incredible signal.

    Use google maps. I used it yesterday and today, the new version released is so good, it's an arrow that follows your movements and it is really sensitive.

    With the components required to do, this is my first blackberry so I'm not sure, but I know not if you go to:

    OPTIONS of-> device-> location settings

    You should have ' GPS DATA SOURCE: ' GPS DEVICE.

    and "LOCATION SERVICES: location ON '"

    except that I don't really know too much.

    Hope that somehow remotely helps you. Bad comes to worse just get google maps and use it. Not sure if you are in North America and if you get google maps, but if you do, it is worth your time.

    Cheers.

  • Option of torch for blackBerry Smartphones

    Hi all

    Recently I bought BB Torch 9860 and very new to the use of the smartphone, I was wondering if someone can help me this mobile there function torch and if yes, what is the navigation to put on the option torch on the device.

    No, you will need to download an app that would then use your flash as a flashlight.

  • Email for blackBerry Smartphones application is greyed out on BlackBerry desktop software.

    I have the Blackberry desktop software version 4.5 installed on my computer. I can't access the E-mail application because it is grayed out. When I try to access it I get an error message "this computer does not have his account address message. The messaging system is not configured properly or this e-mail system is not supported. "I use outlook for my email. I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330. It is updated with version 4.5. The software recognizes the phone. All other programs are available.

    It's on a computer at home?  It seems that you have installed the desktop using the BES software / redirector option.  Redirector is designed to work with a server exchange; If you are using your home PC with a POP/IMAP e-mail address, the best solution would be to reinstall the Desktop Manager using BIS (located in the Setup Wizard), and then use the Blackberry Internet Service to configure your POP/IMAP e-mail.  With this configuration, you will over see the e-mail settings icon because it will no longer apply.  When you use the redirector on a computer that is not on an exchange server, you can receive messages on your device that say "this message is used to carry data between the blackberry and the server... ", which can be quite annoying.

  • Problems of Smartphones BB 9800 Torch for blackBerry battery life - 7 h max

    Hello world

    I got the new torch for less than a week now. He began to have problems of major battery two days ago. I can get about 7: 00 course emails collection now (with about a phonecall) until the battery is completely dead. I have the phone set for 2G only with GPS off.

    I called the carrier and they say they'll send a new phone only (no battery) as soon as possible because they think that the problem is the phone. Apparently the BB now sees the phone and battery as two separate components, and rather than ship a new group by phone and battery, they ship only one...

    Someone at - it elsewhere in the United Kingdom / United States have had problems with the battery? Is this a known fault? I thought that the autonomy of the torch was supposed to be amazing...

    I use the phone for business and if it's something like the storm (I returned and exchanged against of the 9000 "BOLD"), he must go back and be replaced by something reliable like the 9000 "BOLD".

    Thank you very much

    Here is my experience of Torch 9800 battery life and the "fix."  Again, out of the box, battery life was fine, I started to add applications and in the coming days the life drained dough at a rate of about 5% every 15 minutes. I've always done so that all applications have been stopped (with the exception of those who must run as electronic mail, etc.), but found no difference. I uninstalled applications, with the exception of a called automatic locking that allows swipe to unlock the screen.  Yet, with no luck, I did a complete reset to factory settings and found my problem solved. I reinstalled since all applications except AutoLock, I have the wifi and Bluetooth on and always excellent autonomy - no complaints whatsoever!  I installed a screen similar locking program called SwipeLock and still no problems.  I have my screen set at 10% and autodim.  Therefore, if AutoLock is the culprit, or there was something else, the origin of the problem, that I don't know, but I hope that if you follow the same path that I describe above, who is she to back out of the default zone, it should solve the problem - at least that has been my experience.

  • Torch of blackBerry Smartphones will not send or receive photos of text

    Torch 9810.  At & T.  Brand new.

    In any case, 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...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

    • 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. 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 not, then you should certainly talk to ATT... It is quite possible that they are not completely passed your services with a BB to another...

  • Japanese language for blackBerry Smartphones

    Is it possible to have the BB Curve 9220 installed a Japanese language?

    Japanese reading is OK, but I'm unable to type with it. ):

    For the moment, I can only use Japanese by copying and pasting the characters of a note that I downloaded. ;_;

    But it is not practical.

    Can someone help, please?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi kagamine

    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums

    Yes, it is possible to install the Japanese language on your curve 9220, all you had to do is download a pack of BONES all the language and then install it on your PC, then he had to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to add the Japanese language. You can try this way:

    1. download and install on your PC of any OS pack with any language or multi-language pack by carriers

    • (Make sure you download for the same phone model)

    2. download and install the latest version of BlackBerry desktop from here BlackBerry desktop software software

    3. search your drive C: Vendor.xml and delete them, there may be one or two vendor.xml (on the change of your Pc as your records option to show the hidden files/folders):

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\Windows UserName\AppData\Roaming\Research in Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    Once done open BlackBerry Desktop Software (7.1) > select Applications. > in the section of language and support for entry , select the language to be added to the BlackBerry smartphone (a + will appear next to the language to install) > click apply.

  • Torch 9800 blackBerry Smartphone email not showing problem!

    Hello world

    I got my BB Torch 9800 for a few months. Already used to work properly, all my emails used appears in the messages folder. But these days, when I get emails my bb flashes red and it shows on the top of screen email icon. But when I open my messages folder shows an empty without any email folder, even though I can see the icon of e-mail showing pending emails there. I'm aware of this option which, if I press menu bb and then tap show all, my e-mail address with my name will appear. This way I can display the e-mails received. But I don't want to use this option, because I prefer all my emails go to the messages folder, that way I can have more space to download other applications. Please help and any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Note: if I recharge my camera all e-mails shows up in the messages folder. I don't want to reboot my device whenever I face this prblem.

    Is my QUESTION HARD to ANSWER? No one's taken the trouble to give me an answer, why?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones read emails on Blackberry are not marked as read in GMail

    Hi all

    I just upgraded to the 9650 the 8530 and after serious problems finally got so that I could read my emails.

    The problem I have now is that on one of my gmail accounts does not seem to recognize when I read an email via my blackberry. Previously on my 8530 (and before that, the 8330), seconds after that I read an email on my blackberry, it'll show such as read on the gmail website.

    Either way, I don't have this problem with my second g-mail account.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    BIS has been receiving a lot of updates for GMail... even a plugin on the BB which is supposed to improve the functionality even further. Unfortunately, I chose to use GMail for my BB, so I don't have direct experience with integrated BIS GMail how would work. But, I would say that, like all things financial, past not a good indicator of what it now takes performance would give any changes that have been for GMail via BIS. ;-)

    It is quite possible that we use 'old BIS' and the other is using 'new BIS' - withdrawal and return duct BIS is required to receive the new "ENCORE" features. But I worry about who's who in your case - and I fear even that I recently saw so many problems with that (and Yahoo as well). If you're brave, you can remove both of the BIS (and, indeed, all the others you have here) and then wait a while... for more simplicity, I say an hour. Then re - integrate them both and see what happens... at least, in this way, they both would be on the latest version of BIS and the functionality would be the same thing (with, of course, the risk being that neither works the way you want!).

    You can consult this KB in case he has something useful:

  • BlackBerry Torch Whatsapp Blackberry Smartphones

    Hi, I have my BB Torch for 2 days now, but im having a few problems with the Whatsapp application.

    I downloaded, filled out my phone number and work perfectly fine for about 10 minutes. But when im not using whatsapp for about 30 min and I want to send a message to someone, I get the Red clock in front of the message and I can't use the application more cuz she are not sent or receives messages and my friends say im not yet online on this subject.

    Now, when I re-install Whatsapp, it works for 10 minutes again, and then everything happens all over again with the Red watch messages.

    So my question is, what can I do about it, because it's an interesting application.

    PS. IM with Vodafone blackberry internet full.

    Best regards, Rick wall.

    I had the same problem on my BB Bold 9700. Today, I found something that worked for me:

  • Support for blackBerry Smartphones Q5 India

    Hi, (question could be repeated)
    Before you buy BlackBerry, I knew that its market is not as varied as android, but to my great disappointment I couldn't find apps 'base' which should have a smartphone. I need a free application map or navigation and to my great disappointment that BlackBerry maps does not work in India, in addition to that google don't provide maps for BlackBerry.
    Please tell me is there any map application can attest to BlackBerry? Would be happy to install in my machine.
    Thank you

    No, as I said, they are available in Android apps which you call is able to run for the right amount of.
