My Blackberry 8100 blackBerry smartphones is a teapot!

Went to sync my Blackberry 8100 last night when I got the popup saying that there was an update for my Blackberry to V4.5. My total involvement with the process had to press the button "next".

I went to check on dinner, and when I got home there was a message saying "unable to reconnect to the phone". It seems to have erased my phone firmware and it now thinks it's a teapot!

I am on Telstra and spoke to them this morning. They said that I have to send it to the 'factory' to fix.

Anyone knows if I can reload the operating system through my PC or I have to go through the Telstra dealing with strings!

Thanks BB, but I ended up just setting up my phone after I had to have the EXACT of the Telstra software version, which, incidentally, have absolutely no idea of what they are about everything!

Also, there is a litlle witch hunt because you have to uncheck the selection to save the data on the phone, or you can not connect (doh!).

In any case everything works and I am now on 4.5, find a few differences that I don't think I'd like.

    Hi all

    To cut a long story short, I destroyed my BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in March, and if I can get with my Nokia until I get a free upgrade in July, started having withdrawal symptoms, so I purchased a second hand BlackBerry Pearl 8100 E - Bay (well he said 8100, but I suspect it's a 8110 - how know?).  Before the death of the 8120 I had (fortunately) backt he up on my PC, so I want to know is: can I download a backup on a 8100/8110 8120?  Are there any known issues? All I need are my details, everything else is secondary.  I hope that someone can help (and that I can use a backup on a 8100 8120 /.) 8110.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry not syncing with Gmail

    My Blackberry Bold 9900 stopped sync with Gmail. I only synchronize e-mail, contacts, or calendar. I mainly use Gmail site on my PC to read and delete emails. I have more than 70 unread e-mails on my Blackberry that were already deleted from the Gmail Web site. The option 'balance' has no effect. I can receive new Gmail on Blackberry messages, but if I have to 'Mark as read' or 'Clear' an email actions does not sync with the Gmail Web site. The same is true if I 'Mark as read' or 'Delete' an email on Gmail Web site. The actions are not synchronized with the Blackberry. I have 2 Android devices and a Windows Phone that syncs with Gmail without a problem. I just have the problem on my Blackberry.

    My device information:

    BlackBerry Bold 9900

    7.1 bundle 2435 (v7.1.0.862, platform 5.1.0.662)

    Reconciliation of BlackBerry e-mail settings:

    Delete on: mailbox & Pocket

    Wireless reconcile: checked

    On conflicts: mailbox WINS

    Gmail settings:

    Inbox, and garbage are included in IMAP feeds

    Also, I tried to delete Gmail from Blackberry account. When I did he told me he would remove all Gmail messages from the phone but it moved all the Gmail unread messages in my main mailbox. (I keep Gmail and Exchange separate emails on my Blackberry). It is also impossible to select multiple messages at the same time to remove if they are not in a consecutive order.

    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) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • 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 not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • No. phones smart blackBerry smartphone made by BlackBerry - is it true?

    German press reports the end of BlackBerry as a manufacturer of smartphone.

    http://www.Golem.de/news/Mobilfunk-BlackBerry-entwickelt-keine-smartphones-Mehr-1609-123511.html

    Is this true? And delays in updating a hint of the near end of the BlackBerry smartphones? Both sell hardware as possible before moving to a software developer pure offering solutions to large business customers? And stop doing anything for the devices the year next after a last updated OS10 and Android?

    It is a promised how much official BlackBerry will support the PRIV and the DTEK50?

    What?

    http://blogs.BlackBerry.com/2016/10/the-future-of-BlackBerry-devices/

    "Stop us handset hardware development and take full advantage of third parties to develop the hardware and to distribute and support the BlackBerry handset brand."

    BlackBerry has signed a manufacturing contract, or in other words has had industrial partners. But BlackBerry has made the development and design, marketing and support. In the statement of BlackBerry itself, which ends. It will allow software; Is no longer develop and commercialize and support material.

    So to the OP, Yes to your first question.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not upgrade world BB (I think)

    A few weeks when starting AppWorld on my phone, it said I needed to upgrade my AppWorld/world software.  I went through a process of downloading, including the signing of an agreement of the user, who probably took care of him.

    But I don't, because I didn't take over the world.  Here's what I'm trying to start:

    Press App World icon in the home screen

    Message appears: "to continue using Blackberry App World, you need to upgrade your current version. ..."

    Select [update]

    A web page loads up, that resembles http://appworld.blackberry.com, except that do not load images

    And here I go, because I do not know what, if anything, I have to have from there.

    I have a Blackberry 8350, and the OS is (I guess)? 5.0.0.601.

    Help please?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Please try this sequence:

    (1) to remove from your BB AppWorld

    • KB10040 How to view or delete applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
    • He asks to restart the BB,

    (2) a Batt Pull reboot (power on, remove the battery, wait, insert the battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.

    3) install a new copy of AppWorld (on your BB)

    (4) restart another Batt-sweater

    (5) see if it works now.
