New icon for blackBerry Smartphones? Circle with an arrow pointing diagonly, with a red dot

Hi people.

A new icon has just appeared... no idea what/how it happened.

It is a circle with an arrow pointing to the South West (if it was a compass). It also has a red dot on the top right of the circle.

Has anyone experienced this and know what it is?

Thanks in advance

The icon indicates that there is a message unread, referring probably to the fact that there is an update available for a certain application in the BlackBerry App World.

Since this is a generic message and not related to a specific account, the message must be visible by clicking on the Messages icon.

Open the messages application/folder and you should find the message it informing you that there is an update available in App World. The message should send you to the appropriate application that must be updated.

I don't think that you need to update the application to get rid of the icon; simply open the message should clear.

See you soon!

    OK guys, I'm really stupid phone... lol, I have a few new icons coming. One is a circle with a t in the middle with semicircles and its under my side of wifi and the other is new 1XEV for I never saw. Help please a girl...

    You have a upgraded application in App World, or App World has an update.

    Go to MyWorld to the upgrade and look on your BlackBerry in the list of notification messages and read it or clear it.

  • Icon for blackBerry Smartphones adding gtalk

    Hello

    I've been messing around w it for awhile hope someone can help me...

    I downloaded gtalk for my bb bold 9780 and can't find the icon! I can only reach gtalk if I type in 'talk' to research...

    Is there a way I can add its icon in the tray "everything"? It does not appear in the downloads either... :/ BUT I downloaded it probably since its among applications downloaded in the bb world app and I can use, chat, etc.

    I now how to move icons, 'move to folder', etc., which is not the problem. but gtalk is somehow special or I don't know... I really like an icon for him... Please help me!

    Another problem: when I go to Setup, where you can configure the e-mail, the Messenger of bb, social networks, bluetooth, wifi account, all the icons, I see a green check mark, but not to the instant messeging icon. No, if I select the configuration gtalk instant messeging either.

    Thank you!!

    I was already using a RIM theme, but changed by default, still does not work... so I uninstalled gtalk and reinstalled again - I've lost my whole chat (:/), but the icon is there on the screen 'All', finally...

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Problem with icon for blackBerry Smartphones.

    lost 2 icons on the home screen. A white section now blocks the appearance. both work.

    icons simply not visible. "White outs" Mireille are atrange

    Thank you

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    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.

    Best!

  • Icon for blackBerry Smartphones Strange ianccessible

    On my smartphone 8900 about an hour there is a blue message icon appeared next to the new message on the front screen icon.  It has a 1 in a red circle next to it, which makes me assume that it is a message from somewhere, but I can'r, select it and have no idea of how to access it or really what it is?

    The blue icon looks a bit like the blackberry logo so maybe it's a message of Balckberry, but if so I have no idea where to go within the unit to opne it?  Doesn't anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you.

    This looks like a BlackBerry Messenger notification. You have a message or a contact to add to BlackBerry Messenger.

    Find your BlackBerry Messenger application, instant messaging, or the Applications folder is sometimes found in the folder.

    You see one that looks like yours, below?

    Hello

    From a PC, you can install any bundle of BONES to a BB via this procedure:

    Note that although written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or recharge - it depends on the OS package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove from your PC, no matter what other packages devices OS BB as having 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:

  • Icon for blackBerry Smartphones on the homescreen - yellow globe

    I've only had my Blackberry for a few days, but an icon appeared on there earlier today which is exactly where appear new SMS and e-mail notifications. It is a yellow globe as the browser icon and has a '1' beside him. I don't know what that means and would appreciate any assistance in finding a way to get rid of it or open anything symbolizing.

    Thank you, caroline.

    A yellow globe... Open your main messages folder, and then click the Menu (to the left of the trackball) to SHOW the FOLDERS button.

    Look first in the WAP messages, and clear or open all messages.

    If this isn't the case here, check browser messages too.

  • Failure of a new software for blackBerry Smartphones

    (1) have years of back of the files with the files from the address book

    New desktop software 2) said all the books addresses in each backup and some other files are read-only and will not download.

    (3) have used an earlier version the software to restore phones and from these files before address books.

    (4) central AM personal support says all files in each back upward and are grey must be corrupt, even you some have been used before.

    (5) they have never dimmed with the old software.  Only with the new software and only parts of the file.

    6) available (s) to send supports files to watch.  They were not interested.

    Obviously not possible that only parts of each file in the years of backup was corrupt.  they were not recently accessed.

    Unfortunately, the support staff convinced me to uninstall the old version before installing the new version have so not.

    Does anyone have a solution?  Obviously, support of the RIM is not or will not.  Some say that they do have an older version of the software to send.

    Someone at - he of the older versions of Office software?

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    This is a resource for older versions of office software:

    Understand that official support (to whom this site is NOT a part of) is actually not allowed to provide access to older versions. Actually, I disagree with this restriction on them, but my disagreement with this policy does nothing to change it. So, unfortunately, they simply did as they are asked to do in the rules they must follow. Fortunately, here on this site, we are not quite so limited!

    If you need a process truly "own startover", here's one:

    You can also study the PC-based applications that can extract data from these backup files (there are several other free who, I am told, work very well). What you declare is quite strange, and if it was me I would be worried about suspicions of corruption... it never hurts to have multiple sources of the same backup (for example, the BBB/IPD file and the contents extracted).

    Good luck!

  • Missing icons for blackBerry Smartphones

    my world of bb and my phone icons are missing, don't know if are more like new to this lark bb

    a hard reset would bring back my apps?

    If this does not work, then please go back and try to explain more fully what happens. Some details help prevent us to guess. For example, what level of BB OS are you on? What things are missing - icons or apps (you said both)? How do you know they are missing? If they are apps, how do you know that the software is still installed?
