Of blackBerry Smartphones new updated version 5.0 for BB; Help Help!

Hello!

As I had some problems when I updated my BB 8900 curve with version 4.6 (I'm still not BB data cards), I was wondering which is the best way to upadate my BB device with the latest version 5.0.

(1) from my my PC Desktop Manager (as I did for the 4.6 version)?

2) from www.blackberry.com/updates from my PC (the msg that the I have received since the mentioned Blackberry this website)?

(3) is it possible to do it from my device? From my browser of the unit or the my device direrctlyptions wireless update?

PLS, advice and thank you for your support.

Hello!

In my opinion, the "best" method is via the Desktop Manager software... it's the method that gives you the opportunity to do a full manual backup... pre-installation needed something catastrophic occur during the update process. Yes, the update via DTM also offers a backup during the process (and you should say 'yes' to that), but a secondary backup, taken outside of the update process, could be invaluable.

Just my opinion.

See you soon!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new update S/W for 8900 blocks Desktop manager with Lotus Notes Calendar

    I am using Notes 8.0.2 and using the Desktop Manager to synchronize contacts and calendar.

    After the upgrade of your handheld S/W, released last week, the Desktop Manager synchronization crashes when it tries to read the lotus notes calendar. For this, the address book with no problems, but when it starts to read the calendar notes, it crashes.

    I have used other sync software that accesses the calendar notes just to check my notes calendar was not inaccessible for any reason whatsoever and that worked well.

    If it's a version management issues with Notes 8.0.2 is there a way I can go back to the previous version of the portable software that works well so far? Otherwise, any suggestions to solve this problem?

    I'm done deleted my calendar on the device by following the instructions on this thread http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8900&thread.id=403

    After that, my two-way synchronization now works with Lotus Notes Calendar.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new updated on TMobile

    I just got the phone with a (useless) operator of tech support Tmobile is off.  She informed me there will be a software update in two weeks after Christmas.  As a Mac user, once more that I am facing the issue where / how do I get the update.

    I have other issues as well with my curve.  My keyboard on my curve is not light one in vain.  If I remove my battery once more!   I received an email with an attachment and wasn't able to open is not the first time that this has happened.  Can I open the attachments on the curve.

    I'm hate TMobile and BB lately, so I'm ready to buy an Iphone. Can anyone help?  Please...

    I have the same problem.  I noticed after a couple of times to take my battery in and out that it was the increased pressure that makes the backlight on the keyboard works.  Then I noticed that when I pressed on the front of the BB, the keypad lights up and dissipate.

    I called TMobile, and because I'm still under warranty (for another week or two), they agreed to replace it.

    I know other people with the same problem.  I think it's a matter of BB and not a matter of TMobile, since this is my 4th phone already in less than a year!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones after the installation of upgrades for applications, the restart does not end

    When I reboot my phone after that I installed some updates for some applications, as usual--asked me to restart...

    He restarted the phone, however not completely restarts not to my home screen. Instead, he's stuck on the screen of my network provider... (o2 welcome screen)

    Im guessing it is always finished installing some updates, but it's been like this all night.

    I did a battery pull and took out the SIM card and memory card, but it always seems to be stuck on the home screen of the network provider.

    I had this problem last time, and I was informed of another forum to turn off the phone from the Off button on the phone, remove the battery and the memory card, reinsert the battery without the memory card.

    It worked perfectly the last time. Now, then the home screen displays, if I press the off button, it is 'check security software' and turns off.

    Help please!

    Hi again.

    It seemed to have fixed.

    I turned off the phone to the power button on the phone.

    Removed the battery and the memory card.

    He left for 5 minutes

    Re-insert the battery, without the memory card.

    And it starts up fine.

    Insert the memory card, and it was recognized.

    Now, the phone is normal, as it was before the updates.

    Thanks for your help anyway. According to the research I did, that my problem with the splash screen and the issue of restarting AFTER upgrades of applications took place, is the correct method.

    I will accept the solution.

    Thanks again

  • BlackBerry Smartphones New sowftware updated for other companies - when?

    Hey everybody,

    Finally, the storm came in my country, and I decided to give him a chance. I must say that the phone is excellent and that he had only a few small problems with the software. The storm came here to Chile with the 4.7.0.122 version and it works really well. However, I see that it is a new version of the software for users of Verizon in the USA, which eliminates many, many bugs from the old software.

    My question is, can I put my storm with this new software? If so, how can I do, as the updated wireless in my phone can't find updates. This update is recommended for non-verizon users?

    Thanks in advance!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv: Updated Android OS how much?

    Hello.

    I am interested in buying a Blackberry priv.

    However, the Android OS updates are important to me.

    I see the Priv comes with L and is now extensible m. of specific plans to provide N for the Priv?

    Well if it takes until next year some time. But to find out what it certainly is, frankly, the difference between buying an or not.

    Any info, guess or otherwise he rejoice greatly

    As a side note, I believe that there is a gap in the market here for Blackberry. At the current stage, Apple are always updated the OS on their phones/tablets dating back to 2012 (iPhone 5). Four years of OS updates! The closest I've seen in the world Android is the features of Google that are guaranteed three versions of Android - that they ship with and two other + security updates.

    If Blackberry could match updates features of Google (at least three) or even better, to match Apple, Blackberry Android device to its original investment seems excellent quality / price.

    What are your thoughts?

    ...

    No, Google just guarantee 24 months of updates of new major versions of Android. A friend uses a Nexus 5 without brand, but will I not Nougat Android. It receives security updates (and about 1-2 weeks before I get them on DTEK50), but we are both using Marshmallow for the moment.

    Another thing to consider is the fact that "Powered by Android BlackBerry" is not original Google Android. They have made many changes to make it much safer. It must first be converted to the new version of Android before it can be published. Waiting for Alcatel operate on the DTEK50 (which is almost an Idol 4) won't be enough. Updated the PRIV is even more complex because no partner will help the material part of the new programming software.

    There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

    Method 1:

    • Open the Blackberry Desktop Software and connect your device to your PC with the USB OEM cable and without inserting the battery.
    • You will get three options: try again, update or cancel; Click Refresh.
    • Once, it is at the stage of initialization of 'pocket', insert the battery.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second method:

    • Start your BlackBerry in safe mode. KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe
    • Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow handheld to connect. If you are prompted to update, cancel the upgrade for later.
    • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: Article ID: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader
    • Go to device > delete > SELECT DATA > select this option to remove the Social flow and smart card data bases and follow the rest invites you to complete.
    • Now, you can go back and click to update the device through the Desktop Manager, or restart the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue on the upgrade of the air.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Security Update Query KB19552

    Hi all

    I'm alittle confused on this issue.

    I learned to be updated some of our BlackBerry bold in the light of this article, KB19552.

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/viewContent.do?externalId=KB19552

    I'm confused about the version that I need to update.

    Latest version of applications

    Requests to update version to

    Version 4.5.0.x

    Version 4.5.0.173 or later

    Version 4.6.0.x

    Version 4.6.0.303 or later

    Version 4.6.1.x

    Version 4.6.1.309 or later

    Version 4.7.0.x

    Version 4.7.0.179 or later

    Version 4.7.1.x

    Version 4.7.1.57 or later

    I went on the update site, http://www.blackberry.com/updates/ , update my Application Loader when it prompted me to and in the list I get the version the latest version 4.6.0.28 2

    I would like version 4.6.0.303 but its unlisted in the loader Application and im don't know if I'll looking for random websites and download of this unit or a newer version (if possible) will break my phone.

    Not sure if it helps but I Australia Telstra support.

    I also wonder about the version numbers. Is the latest version with all other versions the version 4.7.1.x (4.5.0.x - 4.7.1.x) the 'later' or don't le.5-.7 means something (for example a different phone)

    This means that you are carrier is not released a version greater than 4.6.0.28 2. You can update to OS "Bold" another carrier by following the steps at the top of this page: http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-9000-series-discussion-bold/

    Otherwise, you will need to wait for your carrier issued a superior version of the OS for the "BOLD". I've updated by operating system to 5.0.0.41 1 and have been running for a while with no problems. As always, just to be sure, make a backup of your data before reloading, or update the operating system.
