Phone Smartphones BlackBerry Torch for blackBerry...

.. .with both a touchscreen and sliding keyboard.

My question is THIS - WHY Blackberry is ONLY for marketing through AT & T? Are they dumping Sprint (my career) and others? What is going on.

I am very attached to my Blackberry, but if they "abandon ship" to go exclusively with AT & T on all new phones, I won't join them. I won't just Sprint for a phone, no matter how much I love him.

Needless to say that this only "AT & T" thing is disturbing.

Anyone know?

Exclusive rights to at & T to carry the torch expire in two years... If you care to wait.

    Ok.  Thus, the unit does not start at all?  Just on the splash screen?  Even when the start while holding the previous button?

    If so, you may need to reload the OS to the device, just as you said.  Here are some instructions to do so.  Don't forget that if you do not already have a backup, you will lose all your data.  Sorry...

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Torch 9850 PC board of the battery problem.

    For the last couple days, my torch 9850 has been emptying faster than usual. The drainage rate was about 4.31% per hour. Unfortunately today, I was with my flashlight to take a photo when I watched the battery indicator drain about 80% of yellow to the red outline with the flashing led in under 2 minutes. The phone also randomly off followed by a solid red led, followed by 2 red blinks. Since this morning, I put a good known in battery. He killed that, in about 15 minutes. The only third party application that I have is The Weather Channel. The only application running is phone, SMS, email and contacts. I reloaded the software the first time that drain you.

    At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for many models. If they understand your model, please use those as a reference as you go along. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the download portal official for packages of OS for your model:

    From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

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

    Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try this procedure might limit the specific causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1

    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

  • Torch Smartphone blackBerry Bold questions

    Hi, I picked up a BB Bold 9900 after having a nightmare of a week with my BB Torch that I had been used for more than a year.  I have the following problems with my two phones:

    Phone NEW-BB Bold 9900:

    Despite transfer all my contacts from the torch to the "BOLD", many contacts are missing from my contacts list in the "BOLD".  Why is this?  These are still visible in my flashlight.  Therefore, it is absolutely useless for me to buy a BB if it is even impossible to recover my entire contact list.  Quite frustrating!

    FORMER telephone - BB Torch 9800:

    (1) touch screen, red touchbutton and keyboard are dysfunctional.

    (2) in spite of the withdrawal of the SIM card, the 'search box' on the home page seems to be hitting hlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhl... automatically WITHOUT ANY CONTRIBUTION whatsoever! (goose bumps!)

    (3) BB Desktop Software version is updated according to the update link.  Says the ad Office device using the latest version.  So not the possibility of an upgrade.

    How can I solve the problems with the two above devices? Help, please!

    With you your old phone, connection to BlackBerry Protect with your BlackBerry ID and do a data backup.  If you do not have BlackBerry Protect installed on your old phone, take the time now to do.  You can find Protect www.blackberry.com/protect from the browser of your phone visit BlackBerry App World.

    Then, once your backup is complete, remove the battery from your old phone while it is turned on and with the SIM card still in it.  Replace the battery a few seconds later.

    Now, remove your SIM card from your old phone and put in to the new.  Turn on your new phone and the connection once more to protect (the connection can be found using the link above).  He will see that you have changed phones and will ask you if you want to associate your new phone with Protect.  The answer is Yes.  When it is connected to the Protect, look for the icon Restore From A Backup File and select the backup file that you just created.  Load on your new phone, make sure he restored correctly, then you can remove your old phone of protection if you want.

    It's the best way I know to deal with the situation.  Give it a try and post back with your results.

  • Torch Smartphone blackBerry tour market constantly!

    Hello, I got my Blackberry torch for less than 24 hours, and I'm already having problems. It was working fine until I had synced the music on it from my pc. When I unplugged, it flashed red and the light turned off, then restarted. Problem is, it will restart and then switch on and check the security software, it stays on for about 7 seconds, then the LED flashes again, stops, restarts, and done all this over and over again without interruption. However, when I connect it to the computer in a few seconds, it's actually the, it seems to work very well and I don't have this problem at all. It restarts as soon as I doing the USB.

    HELP PLEASE! This has certainly taken the brightness to get a new Blackberry.

    Siobhan.

    Oh and I did a battery pull & it has not made a difference & the phone is charged at 100%.

    Yes, I suspect that something is wrong.

    Have you moved this from another BlackBerry Media card, an older device of the 9800? If so, see below.

    If not, can you tell me anything else? Have you formatted this card while in the BlackBerry, I would say that if you can, and don't be afraid to lose all the files on the card.

    Read this on how to correct the media card (courtesy of John Clark, a different expertise here in the Forum):

    1. remove the card multimedia unit and put it in a card reader. This makes the rest of the process much faster. However, you can do it with the card in the camera.

    2 copy all the contents of the card on your PC.

    3. replace the card in the camera and go to Options > Media Card > Menu button > card. You wipe the card and reformat. (if using a card reader to remove the card and put it back in the drive).

    4. now copy backup ONLY in the media to the device. Don't copy back all the 'BBthumbs.dat' files or all system files. I went through the entire folder and delete all .dat files before copying the content of the music folder and the folders of photos to the device. The device will re-create these files. Also, I is not copy folder "current music" but rather just copied content and pasted into the folder \Blackberry\music of the card. Do this for each folder.

    5. Once finished put the card in the camera, and then try again the media App. He must walk to the music. If you have a lot of music can take 5-10 minutes. When scanning, you can open the music application and you should be able to see the songs move in the list when the device will navigate

    If after the transfer of all your files back, you still get a stuck scanning bar or device restarts so you have a file in conflict on the map. I saw video files to do this, but it could be a music file too or (less likely) an image file. Remove all the files you transferred and see if restarting to stop him. Then add each file one at a time to see if you can narrow the file which is the cause. When you have found the folder, and then you can refine to a particular file.

  • Smartphones blackBerry 9700 "Bold" no Audio for Email alerts

    Hello

    Already activated my new Bold 9700 with Bell this morning. Everything works except for the audio alerts by e-mail. I'm very frustrated with it that I have tried several solutions, hopefully a tech here rep can provide a method that I have not already tried.

    When I receive an email, the light, the red asterisk in the main message section, but there is no audio alerts. I have the profile set to normal, sonar ping as audio choice and set to always indoors or out of Holster.  All this started after I tried to sync with contacts from my old phone, a Blackberry 8830 with Bell.

    Here's a little recap, in chronological order.

    -active 9700, voice work of calls, classic phone ring ToneWorks, went to the site of the BIS, set up my two email with Gmail and Yahoo accounts. Received messages and audio alerts by e-mail.

    -the problem started when I synced my old 8830 version 4.5.0.127 with Bishop Office and transferred the address book and contacts of Bishop BB the 9700.

    -Alerts audio email stopped working on gmail and yahoo, still getting emails well. Strange because when the audio alert worked, the red asterisk indicating a new email will appear in the message section and the section of gmail/yahoo messages. With the audio alert does not, the red asterisk appears only in the message section.

    -at this point, the 9700 is running on something v5.0.0.3

    -Sync also failed to transfer phone numbers 8830 address book the 9700. The names and e-mail addresses have been transferred but no phone number.

    -changed profiles by selecting a different audio alert, activated the wireless market, removed the battery for 5 minutes and restarted. Still did not work.

    -wipe the device, set up the email once again, an e-mail alert audo still does not.

    -at this point, I went back to the dealer for help. They used their desktop Manager to synchronize with my 8830. Their timing worked better that phone numbers have been able to transfer through. Once again however, no warning audio email.

    -dealer spent 90 minutes, yes 90 minutes working on my device. He did the same methods I've tried... twice. They wiped my camera... twice. Updated the service books, changed the normal profile to one other than sonar sound alert, still does not.

    -store was closed then dealer suggested to delete the old 8830 BIS email. Don't forget my 8830 and 9700 have different mobile numbers on separate accounts.

    -return home and has decided to do the opposite of the dealer's suggestion, I've deleted email BIS (on the site of the BIS on my PC) on the 9700 rather than the 8830 and recorded again. It worked! Getting email audio alerts on two e-mail accounts! Synchronization Manager to back up, once I do request now if I want to upgrade to v5.0.0.423. I save my profile, and then click ok... bad idea. Once happens, alerts audio email stopped working again.

    -Restore backup data, I just saved, alerts e-mail audiio does not. And then deleted and added a new e-mail, and update of new service books and audio alert in normal profile options.

    -repeats removing the battery, turning network works, no luck.

    From this moment, I have a 9700 with v5.0.0.423, updated service books and two emails from BIS (gmail and yahoo) which are still not give audio alerts email. Is this a problem of software or a defect in my own device? What can I do to fix this? It is imperative for me to answer my emails BIS in time for audio alerts by e-mail are a must for me.

    In addition, my 8830 was conducting a BES until four weeks ago. Now, it is on BIS only even if one of the BES parameters is still present and I couldn't remove it. I don't know the password security feature, 8830 claims always my pw to unlock. Have not been able to turn it off on the security options screen.

    Please help... How to get back my audio alert email?

    Hello Triple_P88,

    To correct this problem, you need to remove the COMPUTER of your BlackBerry smartphone policy.

    To do this, we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click the backup and restore button, and select Save. Note the location where the backup is saved will allow us to access later to restore the BlackBerry smart phone.

    Once you have saved your BlackBerry smart phone, please follow the link below to remove it from your BlackBerry smartphone strategy

    Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14202

    I advise to do this for both phones, as well as after it is done do not restore the old backup, but selective restore as outlned below.

    Selective restore of your BlackBerry smartphone (only restore the essential elements such as the address book, calendar, messages, etc.). I enclose a link below on how to do it.
