Question of blackBerry Smartphones with GPS in 9700 after the OS 6 upgrade

I just upgraded my os in Bold 9700 OS 6. After the update the GPS in the phone is idle and there is no way I can activate it.

From your home screen, go to Options > device > device and state information.  Type the word 'test' without the quotes.  There is no field in which to enter and nothing is displayed on your screen.  Just type in it.  Click OK to start the test, press the menu key and select start.  Then decide if you want to be guided by the test.  On the next screen, check the box next to GPS and click run at the bottom.  Go outside and do the test and let us know what happens.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not synchronize correctly after the 4.5 upgrade

    I have a Pearl 8100 and just updated to 4.5 v. I didn't know anything about the updates specific to the provider and just updated directly from Blackberry.com. Now when I try to sync (I use Outlook 2003 via Desktop Manager v4.2.0.14) he wants to add all my appointments from Outlook - but they are still on my BB. If I complete the synchronization I have duplicates of EVERYTHING. In addition, most (but not all) of the 'all day' events on my BB became 12:00 A - 11:59 P events instead of just an entry all day at the top of the day. I continue to cancel synchronization, so I can't even imagine what would happen if I'm as much that synchronize my address book.

    I looked in my Desktop Manager software update, but I can't back up because I can't synchronize (although I backed up my entire Outlook file, so I guess I have backed up). I also watched by uninstalling v4.5, but indications that I found on one another detachment said to remove the upgrade to add/remove programs and it wasn't there. I know that I'm not an expert in this stuff, but I feel very lame.

    I'm also irritated some images that accompanies my Pearl disappeared. I used their background. I read on other assignments that these images are not in the new software - but why they have been removed?

    What should I do?

    for images: you can see otherwise: the pictures have never been published except for OS 4.2 and 4.3 of the OS. You can search the Web, maybe someone will be stored somehow in the form of images and not as an application.

    on the backup: this has nothing to do with the timing.
    a backup is a file that contains all data on your device. It cannot be used at all except for a full restore of the databases. You should be able to make a backup.

    for the calendar: are all the events in Outlook? If so, you can delete the calendar on your device database (using the right Fund Manager Panel) and then synchronize Outlook calendar.

  • Question of blackBerry Smartphones with e-mail sent to Gmail not checked in the Blackberry mailbox

    Hi all

    I just got my first Blackberry. I added a box to the letters for my Gmail account on my blackberry, using the options-> e-mail settings. It works great, it checks incoming emails almost instantly. However, I have another email address which will be forwarded to this specific Gmail address and those forwarded emails are not checked on my blackberry (they do not show upward).
    I see these emails on the Web from Gmail and Thunderbird page, but not on my Blackberry.

    I installed the gmail app, but I really don't want to use it.

    Any suggestions of how to make emails transferred to my gmail account appear on my box of blackberry mailbox?

    Thank you!

    Hmmm... very strange indeed...

    The filter, btw, being inside the ENCORE... not within GMail... see this KB:

    • KB04558 Add a filter to a BlackBerry Internet Service account

    If you start a new message on the account of this source (not striker... a new email) sent to your GMail account, it happens on your BB?

    Similarly, if you do a manual on this source accont to GMail, which will happen on the BB?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackbold does not start after the progress bar screen. any help

    I have a problem with my blackberry bold 9700. When I reboot, the next screen that comes after the progress bar screen is my network name of phone, and nothing happens. I get a screen of "vodafone" with their logo.  nothing happens after and I am not able to access blackberry. What's wrong. any help on how to run again

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    Good luck and let us know!

    Hello

    I have a problem with the configuration of the e-mail BIS on BB9700, when I click on the "e-mail" setup, the device asks a "username" and "password" and he says: I'm an existing user, I totally forgot the these credentials.

    I called my mobile operator, but without success, they said that they can not help me on it and I need to contact the mobile vendor.

    Can someone help me on this?

  • Questions of blackBerry Smartphones with upgrade to 4.5 on Pearl 8100

    I recently updated my software to 4.5.0.102. I experienced a few problems & not with little or no technical experience, know not how to solve them. First of all, my bluetooth does not work when I listen to music more. It is fine when I make calls, but it's as if he doesn't recognize it when I turn on my music (I use tamusik through Rogers to download my music). Secondly, in applications multimedia, it reboots if I try to scroll through the photos I have saved in my memory card. It happens at some point & just turned off and then restarts (unfortunately, it takes time to reset). And third, if I take the battery to reset, will reset several times until it loads the software correctly. There is a white screen with the hour glass for a time. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    at the time of reset: it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.
    You have a memory card? If you do, try and remove it. Starts up faster?

    Anyway, start along can be due to the corrupted image (during the boot sequence, there is a small part of the indexing of media files which can be huge problems).

    Do you use a Media Manager on your desktop PC? (it's just a question, do not install it again)

  • Help BlackBerry Smartphones with my Bold 9700, please read.

    Hey guys,.

    IM new to BB and just fixed my aunts blackberry 9700 and I was told I can keep it. I really feel like OS6 but Desktop Manager will not update me. I followed the steps of youtube and nothing works.

    I've been in the update tab and found the update, but there is a star next to him, and when I click it, it says that it is only for users of blackberry services or something in that sense. I really want the official OS 6 and can't live without it. If you know how I can do this easily if you please comment, thank you very much.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Since a certain time (starting at 5.x OS if I remember), updates demanded that you subscribe to a package of adequate data from your provider. Without that, he is denied access to updates. Think of the updates as another service... without subscribe (and pay), you are not getting services.

    Good luck!

  • Questions of blackBerry Smartphones with Notes/memos with Outlook synchronization


    Try this:

    Make sure you have the Notes you want in Outlook.  I recommend to export your Notes file to a PST as a backup in case something goes wrong while you are experimenting.  I always do when I set up a new synchronization.

    Perform a full backup of your BB with Desktop software.

    Desktop Software allows to delete ONLY the Memo database on the BB device.

    Now do a two-way synchronization.  If all goes well, you should be in business.  If things are not going that you can always import the PST to Notes you made in Outlook.

  • Questions of blackBerry Smartphones with e-mail account configuration

    I have a Torch 9800. I changed the password on my email accounts, but now I can't update the settings of e-mail account on my phone. I tried to access the Setup menu, where nothing happens when I select 'E-mail accounts' (even after a hard reboot), and via the Options menu in the messages folder. When I go from there I get a message that says to contact the service provider.

    Anybody out there knows how can I fix?

    ON your BlackBerry, using the browser, go to mobile.blackberry.com

    Scroll to the bottom to Communications, and then to the Email.

    Find your configuration of e-mail it and try, it should work for you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones with GPS on blackberry "BOLD"

    We have a user who stops the following message appears when you try to use the GPS function on his new bb "BOLD":

    Unable to reach the server.  This happens after he asks his login and password.  He worked at a given time and no longer works, he said.  We have already done a reset.  I've seen conflicting information about the GPS on the "BOLD" function.  Some say it works, some say, is not.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  In addition, its internet capabilities work fine.

    We had to go back to AT & T and they had to wipe the device and reload the software in order to get the GPS to work.  They have not explained why it would not have worked the first time.

    Thanks for your comments.

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with screen by dragging to the top of my Blackberry Torch 9800

    My carrier: three

    Operating system version 6.0.0.570

    Model: Blackberry Torch 9800

    I tried a battery pull.

    I'm guessing that whenever I slide my phone to the top of theres only a kind of contact fault because when I do, the screen goes black, as if locked. Although when the unit is in its default drag to the bottom of the post its perfectly fine. I have no idea what to do, but any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Looks like a hardware problem.  You can take it to the store or authorized repair shop?

  • BlackBerry smartphone Email no longer works after the transfer to the new phone

    I turned on the weekend in a phone of the company on my own phone.  At the dealership, they used the BB SW Office to cross all the information of the previous phone into the new.  Everything went through fine, except my Blackberry e-mail address.  I was able to set up a Gmail account without problem, everything works fine, but I can't get the Blackberry email address ([email protected]) works correctly.  This is a valid email address, I used until few days back.  I tried to add the e-mail manually, but he claims that the email address or password are incorrect.  I tried to request a new e-mail address of BB, but the same as the one used, and the answer came back that I can't use this address as he is already taken (I know - it's mine).  I have a support call in and spent almost 2 hours trying different things with them, but so far without success.  I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem.

    ViciousFerret,

    Thanks for your reply, but that has now been resolved.  I called support Blackberry again Tuesday and was related to a person who really understands the problem.  Finally, there are two problems.  (1.) that the email address was always associated with the old phone; (and 2.) When they put in the new phone service, they did for two service providers - SaskTel, as he should have, but also of Bell, which should never have been there.  Once they removed the provisioning for Bell, everything worked fine.

    • 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your BIS configuration for these accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.
