Question on load of the storm blackBerry Smartphones

Hi guys,.
I just got a storm 9500 from vodafone, I kept my storm to charge for 7 hours, the battery icon is now show full, but a lightning bolt icon is still on the battery meter, in the manual it shows only the icon full battery charge, I m get the icon full battery, but with lightning bolt sign still on it ,
is this normal?
Thank you.

Not all the time but probably more like...   If you encounter off the coast or a strange behavior with the storm a battery pull will most likely fix it...   Indeed BB app world has an application called quick draw, it's free and it simulates a battery pull, so do not separate the back all the time...  I have good comfort for a downside... go figure

Please don't forget to fix the thread if others now what to do if they have the same problem.  Thank you

  • Question on the browsers on the storm blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello everyone, I have a few questions about web browsers and the storm. If I still want to use a specific browser to a certain website how can I do this? The firefox browser remember passwords and login information? Is this a secure way to hold this info? Are there changes to settings that will speed up the loading of pages for web pages that have not been optimized for mobile devices? Thanks for any help you can provide me with Steve

    Hi Steve, I'll do my best to answer your questions.

    The main web browser (and one that opens automatically by clicking on links in emails and others) are the BlackBerry Internet browser.  This identification of the browser can be configured in three settings - BlackBerry, FireFox or Internet Explorer.  Usually, it is best to keep it on BlackBerry, but for some sites, it may be useful to define it on FireFox or Internet Explorer.  Make sure that JavaScript is activated for a better experience.

    The BlackBerry browser will keep cookies, so you can choose of you connected to the sites if you wish leave (for example, I logged in on the forums here leaves).  This works even if you set your BlackBerry, FireFox or Internet Explorer browser identification.  As long as your phone is not stealing, it is of course (and if your password to protect your device, it is safe anyway).

    A trick to speed up the loading of pages is to go to the options of your browser and under General Properties, set the Image quality to low.

    Now, the BlackBerry browser is a slower browser, however, he accelerated with updates of the operating system.  If your operator has provided an update for your phone, I recommend that you install it.  If they are not, keep watching for him.  Another method is to try a different browser.  I tried two so far - the Bolt and Opera Mini browser.  Both are much faster than the stock BlackBerry browser and load quickly no optimized pages.  Bolt browser is the fastest.  Note that both of these browser are not perfectly optimized for the storm, so while that pages will load faster, you need to learn to use them properly.  The two should also be able to remember great cookies.

    I hope that's what you're looking for, but do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!

  • Images to transfer from the pc to the storm blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello I am new to the blackberry forum.  I tried to use a search but I don't see anything that relates to my specific problem.  I'm trying to transfer pictures from my pc to my storm.  I tried to take the sd card on the phone and put in on slot sd on my pc, but my pc does not recognize nor detects the card at all.

    Can someone suggest a solution as to how can I transfer photos from my pc to my storm.

    Thank you

    Thank you Craterz, for your help, once I rebooted my pc blackberry icons 2 came. Guess I should have done that before I asked for more help.  In any case, I really appreciate your help.  This problem has been resolved.

  • How to get music on the STORM BlackBerry Smartphones?

    I loaded the media manager provided on the cd but when I try to download music on the device, it is a no go. It doesn't seem to be an option to simply drag and drop the music files or even how to download through the Manager of?

    Someone at - he managed to do so far?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Moving files by using the Media Manager is on page 77 of the guide, in the link below.

    BEFORE , using either make sure that these options are set.

    First of all go to OPTIONS/MEDIA CARD/make sure

    MASS STORAGE mode and the AUTO mass storage mode to ACTIVATE when connected is activated.

    Make sure that the CONTENT PROTECTION is disabled.

    You can also move files by connecting the device to the PC via USB. Then open MY computer and the card support in the device appears as a flash drive.

    You can "drag and drop" files in the right folders. I prefer, it's fast, easy and effective. (and old school)

  • Radio for the storm blackBerry Smartphones!

    I know there are many out there for American users etc but is there a good that works in the United Kingdom?

    I know iv done a thread on applications that are based in the United Kingdom before but I want to just another head upwards to see if theres one out there who works here?

    ALSO any other UK good based apps out there?

    PROBABLY SOMEWHERE?

    Thank you

    Greetings from the USA. I suggest Moodio. Since it is web-based, it should work across the pond. I have book marked in my browser and it stores your list of stations on your login page. www.modio.FM. actually, it works via the media player of storms and ot dials the station as you make a phone call, which was somewhat offputing initially. It works well, I have Celtic of a station of Irish Rock from a London Station and the Frankfurt Techno. The bonus for me is that it is the only free radio application that operates a station Classic Rock here in the States where I can listen to the Bob and Tom show every morning. They are hilarious (103.5 WGBF in Chicago). Hope this helps you. PS Slacker currently is available here in the States. See you soon

    My storm blackberry 9530 recently fell to the ground, but nothing happened. But today its very slow and most of the time the screen turns on but does not display any image at all, just a black screen

    What can I do?

    Hi Mxgaudelli,

    Welcome to the BB Community Forum...

    There seems to be a hardware problem... have u tried a reboot of your BB battery pull, if you have not then try it once... If the problem persists, I recommend you to visit a centre of Service of BB and they have a quick glance at your question...

  • Storm blackBerry Smartphones does not work with hands free Link (in the Honda/Acura vehicles)

    Someone else difficult to synchronize their storm to their in their Honda/Acura HFL system?  I don't know where to go for an update (hands free link or Blackberry).  The frustrating part is my curve worked flawlessly...

    I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM!  To synchronize the storm to HFL follow the following procedure:

    (1) push button HFL in car

    (2) say "Phone Setup"

    (3) follow the instructions when the car tell you to put the phone in 'discovery' mode, do the following him

    Storm:

    4) click the "Setup."

    5) click "Set up Bluetooth".

    6) press the "Menu" button at the bottom of the screen (next to the "Send" button)

    (7) select "Add Device" from the menu screen

    (* 8) it IS IMORTANT STEP: do not click on 'Listen' (as you would to sync with a Bluetooth device), click on "Search"... it must synchronize free hands on the Sytem of link immediately.

  • Speed of the browser on Storm blackBerry Smartphones

    I use the default BB browser and it seems terribly slow.  Download of the web page from CNET.com, for example, just took 20 seconds.  Should I be concerned?

    I am new to BB, so if anyone has any suggestions about browser use I would be very grateful to have them.

    Thank you.

    Don't worry, this isn't anything to worry about.  The browser on the BlackBerry is known to be slow.  Most mobile browsers are no where near as fast as their counterparts in the computer, but some are better than others.  Unfortunately, the BlackBerry browser isn't one of them.

    If you however, there are a few decent browser applications that you can install on your BlackBerry.  Check out Opera Mini, or for experience even faster, take a look at the Bolt browser.  They are not as fully behaved like the stock BlackBerry browser and they take some getting used to, but they are much faster than the official browser (almost comparable to their counterparts of the laptop).

  • Backup to restore the World Edition on Storm blackBerry Smartphones

    Currently have World Edition and I am considering a storm but do not want to lose the emails I sent and received via a server I don't have access to.  Can I restore the backup of the global edition on the storm so I have access to old emails?

    Yes. Perform a full backup of your 8830 using the Desktop Manager.

    Then, with two devices in hand, you can use DM > Assistant device switch to move all the data from one to the other.

    And then, if necessary, you have the backup of the old 8830 if you need to do a manual restore the storm.

  • Problems with my Blackberry Storm blackBerry Smartphones

    I just bought a new Blackberry Storm Verizon about a week and a half. I really wanted to get one when they came out first, but a lot of apps from third party that I used all the time on my Motorola Q were not available for the storm. After waiting this long I decided to go there and get one anyway and test it. Much, I love the storm and the concept, Blackberry (storm) and very in deca. I used a Motorola Q for the last 3 years and could do almost everything I needed with it. Why make things too hard and try to be an island intrinsically Blackberry?

    Problems I see with Blackberry and storm:

    1 JAVAScript does not work correctly. I have installation of webcams in my office and at home that runs Javascript and they work perfectly on my Q using the browser Opera Mobile, Skyfire and IE. On my Storm, I tried to search for it a Blackberry, all three modes of emulation, BB, IE and FireFox and none it will display. (Note: I also tried the bolt and Opera Mini, the cushion of numbers does not work in Opera Mini, he types lower case letters).

    2. software remote access connection is another nightmare. I could use on my Q software VNC FREE remote access to my office or home computers. For the storm, the ONLY option I can find is simply a paid for the program.

    3. the third-party apps. There are very, very small number of third-party for the Blackberry Storm applications (and seems to be the Blackberry in general). Is Blackberry so hung up on themselves that they will not be open and allow the sellers to fill the big gaps they left with their product (s).

    4. I can't access to my college email address located on Microsoft Outlook Live via a web browser or email on the BB.

    Here are some of the problems that I have seem to have with the BB. Too bad I don't like Windows, I have to say it works and third party apps are lacking and simply do not work. Apart from all this, I'm really doing my job as a storm for me, because I love the technology involved with him.

    A gleemer of hope, thanks goodness PDANet has finally released a beta for the storm. He was the biggest reason that I would not get a storm originally was to be able to connect my laptop to my smartphone.

    It seems fitting that BB is trying to keep their technology wrapped so that no one else can fill in the gaps that they leave, because if it was easy to do, then there will be tons of other apps out there that would work.

    darkcyber, sorry, but it seems that your post was missing in the middle of all the others.  If you go through the other posts, you will actually see that there is a lot of help here and there clearly are a ton of people who use it.

    1. now then, remember that BlackBerry phones are not the same as the Motorola Q (which was running on Windows Mobile, if I remember correctly).  JavaScript works, but you must make sure his tour on and you may need to change some settings other.  I can't remember where I saw it, but someone has posted a message on the use of their Storm for the display of the webcams.  They said something about having to adjust the parameters of port and udp (sorry, I have not myself this configuration and therefore do not know exactly how do).  Use the search option and you might be able to find the post.

    2. Secondly, it is once again a difference between BlackBerry and Windows Mobile software or Palm OS.  Be happy that you have found a program paying to use.

    3. This can be your impression, but believe me, there are apparently struck for BlackBerry - in thousands tons.  Try to check the new BlackBerry App World and for other programs, check BPlay, MobiHand, Handango, and various other app stores.

    4. do you have a BIS account set up?  You must configure a BIS account and set up your College email there.

    I hope that some of these things will answer your questions, or at least points you in the right direction.  In the future, try to use a more descriptive than 'Problems with my Blackberry Storm' title because that will probably draw more people.  And if you get no response, it means one of two things happened - your message is simply missed, or nobody has an answer to your question.  If so, feel free to go back.  Do not react with the message you left as what makes no one want to answer at all (I did because I'm nice and felt bad that the original message had not been addressed, but I know others here who could see this answer and simply walk because of this response).

  • Storm BlackBerry Smartphones new

    I've had my storm for a little over a month now and have had some problems. When the phone works well, it's amazing, but I feel like I need some answers. I realize that they probably were all answers here already, but I don't have the time/patience to find if all discussions to find... Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    #1 I already scratched the screen a bit, as I expected. Cures? Repairs? AIDS?

    #2 the storm seems much slow down and/or freeze? Why? Cure?

    #3 any means to improve the battery life? It's decent, but still seems short sometimes.

    #4 orientation seems sometimes a little confused or risk of stuck and the screen doesn't flip.

    #5 if it goes dead it takes forever to load up and it shuts down the antenna?

    #6 the program computer-blackberry jams and does not work very well at all.

    That's all... Seems like a lot, but really is not. Love the phone, looking for some answers/solutions to the theses of the little hiccup.

    I'll try to answer some of your questions.

    (1) the scratches on the screen is most likely on the plastic screen protector that came on your phone.  Just remove it and all these scratches will be gone.  Your storm screen is very durable, and some people said you don't need coverage of the protection screen.

    (2) if it is slow, you may have other applications running.  Best thing to do is a battery pull and see if things speed up.

    (3) the best way to improve the battery life is to turn off Bluetooth when not in use.  Turn off GPS.  Make sure that you are not on the global network and update network 1XEV.

    (4) if all goes well they will be able to fix this in the future.

    (5) not a good idea to drain your battery to death because that will harm the battery and damage it.  Always load before it affects 20% of life.

    (6) do a battery pull.

    Good luck and let us know if one of these suggestions helped.
