Options of locking/unlocking of blackBerry Smartphones

Maiden Post. Be gentle with me!

I'm here on behalf of a friend (he delivers my meds, so we can say that it saves my life), who inherited a BlackBerry Bold 9700 (I think) of his son. His son insisted on his setting a password (wise), but there now to unlock almost every time he uses it.

Is it possible to be asked for the password to the market, but not after that?

What are the choices are available? I skimmed the manual, but it doesn't seem to be much choice lock/unlock.

I saw 'Do call during the locking' but yesterday he wanted to add a phone number to contacts, and this requires a password.

We're both diminishes us in our 60s and on our stage, the need for security against ease of use...

Hi Swiftie,

Welcome to BlackBerry community support fourms.

By default there is no option to set the password to powered only device. However, you can consider using 3rd party device app lock/unlock for this purpose.

Alternatively, you can try activation request PIN SIM that will require you on powered only.

    Hello!

    Your phone is locked to a specific service provider? If this is the case, call to ask for the unlock code.

    Another is that your device IMEI is blocked. Check with your operator.

  • Locking of the blackBerry Smartphone screen/keyboard keeps activating while the phone is in use.

    I have a Blackberry 9810 "BOLD" and the screen/keyboard lock feature is always activate itself, even when I'm in the middle to send him a text or using the phone. Yesterday, it happened while I was talking on the phone and he cut the call. I can't find an option on my phone to activate switch. How can I solve this problem, because it's practically what makes my phone useless.

    Hello

    Well, first of all... No... no 'BB support' can answer you here. This is because, when they gave to you when you register on this site, this site has nothing to do with any formal support any. On the contrary, it is a community of users where volunteers try to troubleshoot other kind souls to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, no response would mean that anyone who took the time to read your post has something useful to you.

    From what you describe, I would infer that there is a wrong application behave which interferes with the function of locking, or maybe your operating system is somehow corrupted, or maybe a combination of the two. What I recommend is the following:

    1. Reload your own OS and as "skeleton" as possible (for example, whatever it is optional, let power off)
    2. If the problem immediately presented, then repeat step 1, but with an OS different package... maybe there's a bug in the specific operating system you run.
    3. If the problem does not immediately, then run for maybe a week-long enough to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. If the behavior does not after a week, add just one thing (just one... no matter how tempting it is to add more!)
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the behavior is, how well do you know the culprit
    6. If the behavior does not, then you know that reloading the OS or switch to another operating system package was the cure.

    If none of this he healed, then you will have a physical hardware problem for which assessment in the hand by a qualified material is of course necessary. If you are under warranty, you seeking your warranty provider - normally your place of origin of the purchase, your provider of mobile service or one authorized service center (it varies by location, but you should have received the documentation at the front that tells you exactly how to use your warranty).

    Good luck!

  • Locking password for blackBerry Smartphones based on the time-out

    Hi, new BB Bold and I have a password and can lock and unlock the phone.  However the phone automatically goes into lock down to 5 minutes.  Even if I set the Options-> the safety time of 1 hour option it hangs still in about 5 minutes.

    What should I do about it?  The ideals?  The store said that I had to take a safety, go back to my computer, clean the phone and restore.  If this does not work I am to get a new phone.  Just bought a few weeks ago.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    You could try a battery pull above all

    drastic measures on your part!

    No data will be lost when you do the following: remove the battery while the device is activated. Remplacer replace after one minute, let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is corrected.
    Thank you

  • Problems with unlocked storm blackBerry Smartphones

    I bought a 9530 and opened.  I inserted my ATT SIM and it will not make or receive calls.   I am not not worried for the plan of data at this stage.  I just want to call and receive calls.  Am I missing something?

    The phone was Verizon.  I unlocked it but when I restore connections, he said verizon wireless Nework, even with my installed ATT sim card.   Help please.

    1. you are positive it is unlocked? Check to make sure that

    See the instructions to check below.

    2. on your device, go in manage connections > Mobile Network Options > and make sure that you have chosen to GSM/UMTS, not global or 1XEV

    To determine if your BlackBerry is "unlocked" for use on media other than for which it is the brand:

    1. on your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
    2. in this screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will appear.
    * If your BlackBerry has a keyboard SureType (71xx, 81xx devices) you will need to double-click the P, then the actual keys entered become M E P P D.
    3. search for the network in the list.
    4. If your device is "unlocked", we should have disabled or inactive. If it says active, it is still blocked by this carrier.

  • Locking password for blackBerry Smartphones - sorry if repetitive

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone can help, I have searched and searched, but found a few different solutions.

    My boyfriend and I both have the blackberry bold 9700, but today, it has encountered a problem.

    He had his phone in his pocket, while we were in the middle of texting he locked his phone using the locking password and then when he went to read the message I sent him it would not unblock him his phone.

    He has never even changed the password or all parameters - don't really know how. I put his phone for him etc.

    He's on his attempt to 9/10 the password, tried to use the ALT key and what other advisde forums, but this has not helped the situation.

    Is there something else?

    It's pathetic if he will lose his contacts, as he never changed the password. (and no backup at all).

    All contacts are saved in the sim card if they stay? Help, please!

    Thank you.

    HI and welcome to the Forums!

    While that unfortunate, it seems that you have already read and tried all possible combinations to get the password entered correctly. Only the configured password will work... There is no 'master' password or 'backdoor' to unlock BB. With only an attempt on the left, there is virtually no hope of success. One thing that might have tried was to attach to a PC... If you know how to enter the password correctly on the PC keyboard, which would have reset the counter... but, once again, with one shot left...

    Since you say that there is no backup, then all personal information, including contacts, will be conscientiously deleted. According to me, which will also include those on the SIM card.

    Best.

  • Puk how to unlock code BlackBerry Smartphones?

    I have BB priv, At & t usim and Skt usim (Korea Wireless Carrier).

    BB priv & At & t usim--> OK

    -Normal operation is when you use the usim At & t card.

    BB priv & Skt usim--> enter unlock code.

    -If the unlock code received from the At and t.  And enter the code.

    but failure 5times.

    Priv BB comes out that enter the PUK code.

    BB priv & At & t usim. ->, It is still used.

    I want to use the skt usim card.

    How can I solve it?

    If your device is blocked on request a PUK code, you will need to contact your point of sale and exercise of warranty options. Since it's the only thing that can be done when the device is in this State I'll mark this reply as the solution so that others are aware of what needs to be done.

  • Locking the screen blackBerry Smartphones.

    Is there anyway to lock the screen of the blackberry storm? I use the "Phone lock" key but when ever part of my hand touch the screen turns on and remains on until fade out. so I was wondering if there was a way to make the telephone only answer by pressing the lock again button? and if not dose one know all third party apps that will do that? Thank you

    to be fair, there also a very old version of the firmware, not sure how up-to-date is your operator. with a more recent firmware, you are likely to find better battery life anyway more since I've updated fom.141 (already more recent thanyours) the device is much faster too.

    I live in a bad reception area and even though I'm a light user I get 4 sometimes 5 days standby. Its the best Ive had, by "BOLD" lasted 2-3 days in the same conditions. A Nokia N80 maxing out at 2 days as a P990i Sony did...

  • Options of the device of blackBerry Smartphones?

    I can't find the options of the unit ANYWHERE.

    Help?

    If you have a Blackberry 8520, look on your home screen for an icon indicating Applications. If you click this icon, it will open and there will be several apps housed, which will be the terminal Options. In addition, even if you have the icon of the Application open, press the Blackberry key. A short menu is displayed, search for the word Hide. If it is checked, clear it and other hidden apps appear. Hope that helps! =^)

  • Lock icon keyboard blackBerry Smartphones disappeared off the coast of the home screen

    The keyboard lock icon was on the home screen until I installed the updates that have been sent to me today on my BB.  Now that the icon has disappeared.  Check the Section help and could only know how to lock or unlock the screen manually.  Check the instruction booklet provided with it. again without help.  Searched through the BB Curve Demo Online - still nothing on the addition of the back icon.  It was so easy just push this button and not to worry about the keys in my pocket or your purse... How do I get it back?  If I'm not back I won't install updated any longer because I found that I got ro reset things like I wanted to... moving icons of folders to the homescreen etc... Please tell me there is a way to get this back... just bought this BB in June and a first I possessed and it is difficult to do without... HELP BEGINNERS please SO that SHE DID NOT feel LIKE SUCH a "dummy" LOL - thank you in advance for any advice that gives me!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Looks like you have updated to the point where the locking function changed. In older versions, you had an icon on the screen. In the latest versions, you use the power on top of the BB button do a keyboard lock. To get the icon back, you must activate a device password... then you will have an icon for Active password lock. How it works now, and the only way to change this is go back to a previous version, when the change was made.

    Good luck!

  • How to replace ENTERPRISE Server Option the Option of Service Internet BB BlackBerry Smartphones?

    There is the ENTERPRISE Server option installed on my 8700.

    I want to vsend and receive emails from email account different without making use of the BB Enterprise stars I would like to get rid of the company-installed program and replace it with the option of Internet Service.

    I wonder if it would be possible.

    Can I replace Enterprice feature by the normal Internet Service? and how?

    Thank you for any information

    Hello!

    The options you are presented with when you start the e-mail Setup Wizard are controlled because of the type of account you have with your carrier. Given what you describe, it seems if you maybe on a generic data plan (or maybe no data don't plan at all)-it's usually not enough to grant you access to the Blackberry Internet Service that is hosted in your operator. To enable the configuration of the personal e-mail, you should contact your operator and ask what is often (do not universally thought) called the Blackberry data Plan. Whatever we call it, we need a plan of your provider that gives you access to Blackberry services increased that they host - and you have to pay for access to enhanced services. Once you have these accounts, you will have a personal messaging as a configuration option (note, however, this company will not "replaced"... rather personal will be added to the screen).

    Good luck and let us know!
