Question from Newbie blackBerry Smartphone memory card

I have recently entered the world of BB and am happy with my curve 8330 from Sprint. I am down encryption and have scoured all the online info, I can find as well as the manual. I'm barely scratching the surface of all uses and features, and while I am old guy when it comes to computers (50) and am not an expert, I'm not afraid of technology either and am eager to learn. I have a few simple questions (I hope) that I could use some help/advice for.

(1) the BB came with a 1 GB card and I also bought a 2 GB card. If I want to change the 2 GB card, I have to do and what items/app will be affected by the swap? I'm not sure if the BB has an internal memory and the memory card, and what exactly is used to by the BB memory card. And what are the benefits to upgrade me to the 2 GB card;

(2) If an email I rec'v has an attachment which is a video, I can't play (although no problems with photo attachments) is at - it an app I want to download on the BB for videos, and if so how can I do this and where to get the application? I've never downloaded an app on the BB before and am not sure exactly how do;

(3) is at - he an advtage to connect to a Wifi hotspot from your mobile operator in some cases and my 8330 allows a wifi connection and how do I configure it if so.

Thanks for anyadvice and help that you can lend... I'm new to this but am fascinated by the possibilities.

If media files are on your device memory, it just load Media Manager into the Desktop Manager and move on.

    Hello

    HC simply refers to "Large capacity", a designation that is placed after that I think that 2GB. But, no question... of compatibility between a memory card and a BB is governed by the size of the media card and the level of operating system running on the BB... see this KB:

  • Questions from Newbie to Smartphones blackBerry re: BIS (but not a newbie to BB)

    I had BB phones since the 8320 came out.  Now have 9700.  I make use of BB intl e-mail when overseas.  (I think BB is in 90 countries - I have used it in at least 15).

    1. I'm not really well informed about all this.  All I know is that BB treats my email is transferred from gmail, Yahoo, etc.  I send my email in gmail (single company)...

    BB will continue this service for phones that work on OS 5, 6 and 7?  I think it has been discontinued on OS 10?

    2 suitable service BES a businessman solo who needs to manage the e-mail?  It would seem that maybe that's only for mega-companies.   Are there companies out there that would bundle small users together in order to access the BES?  (Is it possible.?)

    And finally, if small users will, in fact, to be cut utilities to BB - why should stay us (just 2 lines)?

    Suddenly cut Google Google Voice of all BB users last month.  Google Maps still work on everything but OS10 - but Google could cut that as well (although I doubt it because I think it's a money maker for them.)

    Except for the fact BB may be the last regulation. should w. a physical keyboard - only BB offer do not have Android or other systems of the OS?   Due to a slight hand tremor recently acquired - I need a physical keyboard.  I have trouble using a virtual keyboard.

    Thank you.

    Just a follow-up question, if you don't mind.    TMobile (US), and I think that ATT offers unlimited e-mail for international travel to 67 cents per day.  This feature/option seems to disappear, we continue to use a phone with BIS.

    I have no idea... the companies control plans and the services that they have, and I found it quite impossible to make up the differences among the hundreds of carriers supporting the BB in the world. You ask them about it.

    And thank you to confirm WHAT BES is suitable for large organizations.

    Is not at all what I said, and I do believe that it is true. Internal full BES, Yes, is oriented to companies that can achieve economies of scale. But there are services of BES-level (e.g., hosted) available pretty much anyone.

  • Questions from Appworld blackBerry Smartphones

    Since I was my lamp, I had problems with Appworld:

    1. the application itself can be downloaded for OS6. He said "Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry App World."

    When will this be available?

    2 downloading applications via the web page results in an e-mail that is sent and which redirects me to the page to get the email sent to me once again... so, I can't download the application in this way, either.

    Come on RIM... With this wonderful device... PLEASE fix this!

    Ok. After a few sessions in line with AT & T Blackberry Data Services, I had App World 2.0 finally installed on my torch. For those of you still tormented by not being able to download, here is what I found:

    1 AT & T is aware that there are some users Torch 9800 that cannot download it.

    2. have you noticed that your list of apps in Blackberry Desktop is not complete? I arrived.

    3. you need to talk with (or chat with) a BDS support person. Call the 800-331-0500 (for AT & T customers only) and ask BDS. They can get pushing you to RIM without support of the charge after some service books and cancel and reset your registration on the network.

    4. sometimes, the point #3 solves the problem. It didn't with me, at the outset. But it's working now, with a little additional support from RIM.

    So the result is, you will need to contact AT & T to be able to install App World 2.0 (Original App World will NOT work on the Torch 9800), if it isn't already on your Torch 9800.

  • BlackBerry 8310 Smartphone memory card?

    2 months ago, I bought a card SanDisk 4 Gb HC to my local ATT store (my provider is ATT). The map recently failed and the said shop SanDisk does not recommend using their HC cards in Blackberry phones, and therefore they (after an initial runaround) provided a refund.

    Not knowing what 4 GB card to buy, I went to the local electronic store bought a 2 GB card cheap on sale.

    I would like to have more space. Y at - it a specific 4 GB card that someone could recommend? Alternatively, a 8 GB card when I update to 4.5 (not yet available)?

    Thank you. I ordered a SanDisk 8 GB card from an online retailer, whose name appears on the map as being compatible with a BB 8310. The cost of 2 GB and 8 GB is less than the credit I received the Bank of ATT.

    Thank you!

    Without doubt, I should mention that some of my problems with my BB was a sufficient case, which allowed my phone to fall to about 50 times. Today I bought a new case and ATT has replaced the phone because the trackball was bad. So, if all goes well, the new phone and the memory card will work.

    Hello

    To add - gave you wording ("pretty"), I don't think so- or maybe Yes. To better explain, consider this:

    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) application memory, the device memory) 2 and 3) Media/SD memory card

    Application memory - it is the most important; It is protected (not available to the user), dedicated and (fixed size) space as the destination for the installation of applications (more a few storage applications, overhead and other costs). You can't touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can install only here... There is no other choice.

    The device memory - it is space on your BB you can touch these files, images, media, etc. In general, it is not very big, but it is available for you (probably 1 GB space you mention).

    Memory card SD/Media - is what it says... your 4 GB SD card, to store files, media, photos, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support... see this KB:

    So, if your question is to use the device or memory card support, there should be no difference in performance and other. For me, I always store my data on the media card (when allowed... some apps don't) and also let the device memory clear and empty I can.

    On some devices/OS levels, you can see 'Free file' (Options > status), I think this is equivalent to AppMemory. You can see on other devices, all the memory usage levels three (Options > memory). Here are some tips to use:

    Finally, it is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. On the contrary, to close an application, tap on and select 'Close' or 'Quit'... which force the application to be closed, freeing resources for your new use it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

    In addition, 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. Some have taken to do this on a regular basis as a preventive measure... some as often as once a day. Others got the app QuickPull to automate a simulated Batt Pull.

    Best!

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Simm card

    How does the storage card function?  Is the phone automatically knows what type of data goes on the card or is it definable or selectable by the user?

    SIM card and memory card - are different things.

    So, on your memory card.

    When you format your micro-sd on your Blackberry memory card - you can store photos/music/videos/ringones/documents on this issue no matter what.

    If I understand your first question of law - the blackberry automatically recognizes the type of data that you can save on the memory card. You shouldn't worry about this.

    When you save a music/video/photo file - it will be available as a file of music/video/photo for you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Media Card Format fail on several good maps

    I did a little digging, trying to find a solution to my problem before I posted, but most of the positions in the vein of a Media Card not recognized/not possible to format off trail 'is your SD card bad?' with no further response. Here is where I am:

    My phone: Blackberry Curve 8330

    My carrier: Verizon

    My OS: v4.5.0.175

    My problem:

    2 GB media card has been used in the phone since purchase in July ' 08. Since 2 weeks, bed phone is no longer media card. Media card is recognized by phone (which means the phone detects whether or not the card is present). Error message 'Media card can not be read. Check that the memory card is formatted. "Failure to put in shape via phone immediately. When you connect to the computer via the USB port (with mass storage permit), Blackberry device is recognized, but no media card is present. A gray (i) drive appears in my computer, but is inaccessible and cannot be checked or formatted (error message; "Please insert a disk into the drive I :).

    Attempts at solutions:

    Used 3 different media cards: 2 GB Sony 2 GB PNY, 8 GB. Each of the cards tested via a SD adapter and play properly in my computer: can move files to/from, checkdisk and reformat. Have all PC formatted. Each card gives the same error 'Media Card... formatted"as shown above. Hard reset (battery pull) has no effect. Have removed battery for 48 hours (in which case there was stubborn capacitors, or something like that). Support storage of mass and the Media Card encryption or powered off, remove and reinserted card with each parameter not changed, no effect (I can give you a list of all of this, but you get the idea. I'm decently thorough). Rolled back the OS to the previous version (via Desktop Manager), problem still exists. Re-upgrade to the current version, without change.

    To sum up, the phone works very well, but media card can thus not be there. It is not the credit cards, and I don't think it's the software, because I changed the OS from top to bottom, so I guess that maybe material. I would be grateful for all suggestions, and if you need any additional information, I will do my best to provide.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Excellent diagnosis! Play well!

    Unfortunately, your data, the only thing I can conclude is a problem with the hardware of the BB itself. You have done everything that I can think of to determine the root cause, and everything points to the material BB. Since you're out of warranty, if you purchased an extended service agreement, you can study the use of this. Otherwise, I'm sure that your carrier will recommend replacement - at a price (for you).

    Best!

  • I have a Robin Didital DPF - 710 photo frame, but there was not a usb port, how can I transfer photos from comp to a memory card

    I HAVE A DIGITAL ROBIN PHOTO FRAME DPF-710 FOR WHICH THE CARD MEMORY IS 1.0 GB, THE PROBLEM IS I WOULD ADD MORE PHOTOS ON THE CARD BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO IT AS THE IMAGE HAS NO USB PORT AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES ON MY COMPUTER TO THE MEMORY CARD, COULD YOU PLEASE ME TELL HOW.

    I guess just that your computer has a media player?

    (If no drive media... Connect the device to your PC
    via USB cable and turn on... Reach... Start / computer...
    your camera must be listed with a drive letter.)

    If you go to... Start / computer... media player should
    be recognized as one or more removable disks... it can
    have several drive letters.

    Removable disk (e :))
    Removable drive (g)
    Removable disk (h :))

    Left click the drive letters... When you identify the drive
    Letter for the media player... (it will be the one making
    does not launch a dialog box that says: "Please insert a disk".
    in the drive? ») ...

    Follow these steps...

    Navigate to the folder in which the photos are... Open it and
    Reach... Edition/select all... right click the selected (highlighted)
    Group and from the menu choose... Send to / removable
    Disk?... Or... left, click on a folder and do the same thing.

    Only a limited number of files can be copied to the root
    Directory of the card... if you transfer lots of photos...
    they must be in one or more folders. If you receive one
    error that says: "cannot copy xxxx (xxxx): the directory '.
    the file cannot be created. » .. There's too many files in
    the root directory of the memory card.

    FWIW... the camera may not recognize the photos if they
    have been published in some way, but they will always be on the
    memory card for use by other means.

  • Encryption of blackBerry Smartphones memory devices does not turn off

    I want to use blackberry protect but since I got my phone there a small lock next to the checkbox to disable encryption so I can't turn it off. I upraged to os7.1, but the problem remains. Can someone help me?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I'm not sure about the correlation between the encryption and the BB Protect... you jumped from one to another at whiplash speed in your post... do not understand.

    But, nevertheless, if encryption is active and locked, then the most likely answer is that your device has a COMPUTER Board policy that requires encryption is active. You can check the existence of a COMPUTER policy via this method:

    • KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    If you're on BES through your company or otherwise, you have to stop now and talk to your BES admins, because they are in control of it on your device policy.

    If you are not on BES, then somehow you got a device that once stood on BES, and who gave you sanitized it not properly before give you the device. You can now clean, but it will be totally destructive. Therefore, please begin by reviewing the Backup link in my sig auto on this post and make sure you have a full and complete backup.

    Once you have a backup, you can do this to clean your BB of the it policy:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    Subsequently, when you restore, DO NOT make a full restore... rather just do a selective restore of the databases you need (e.g., contacts, calendar, messages, etc.) and more precisely to avoid any database that have nothing to with COMPUTER policy, business, etc.. If you restore those, they will dutifully restore COMPUTER policy and you will be right back where you started.

    Good luck!
