• 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

• 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.

  Thanks again

• 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

• 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)

• BlackBerry smartphones my questions on the Storm 2 9520

  Hello everyone I do not have a Blackberry but I intend to update my phone soon and get a (I currently have a Nokia N95 8 GB). I looked through the list of Blackberry models, and the 9520 that I fell in love was the Storm 2 9520. I will probably get one, but I have several questions that I couldn't find clear answers on google. I'm picky about details on a phone, so I want to know everything before get you it. Here is the list of things that I had on my mind:

  -J' read that this phone records videos in 3gp format and not mp4. I'm a little worried about that, because I feel 3gp is less intense than mp4 by Windows (Win 7 user here). For example, 3gp, I filmed with an old phone years ago don't even open correctly in most players and no audio. So, is the format the phone records in playable correctly in Windows (Linux too)?

  -J' I always rename my pictures and my videos after taking. With the 9520, you can click a button or menu entry to rename an image / clip immediately after making it? Or they be saved with a name only automated, and you need to open your file browser and navigate to the file to be renamed?

  -A curiosity, I got on the touch screen if it is based only on the detection of heat or by pressing physics too. What I've seen, the heat detection is used when you lightly touch the screen and select the stuff / drag, while only pressing is used actually click. I'm curious because I could use my phone outside in the winter when I have leather gloves, and the screen can not detect my body energy then. Of course, it is difficult to use any phone with gloves, but I sometimes do to some extent

  -Use the charger micro-usb port, or another port? I know that some devices that use USB for charging and connection to the computer, which is a method that I prefer in general. No problem if it is not, just curious.

  -In the specs of the phone, it says maximum 8 GB micro-SD cards are supported. Someone can confirm that more cards are inconsistent and do not work (16 / 32 GB ones)?

  -J' read on a website that the only way to configure e-mail is to have a Blackberry Enterprise Server (do not exactly know what what). But you need to register with Blackberry using a classic IMAP / POP email account (like gmail or yahoo mail)? And besides, you need to register with any Blackberry service to use 3 G internet supplier or to use messenger (YIM MSN and AIM)? I'm guessing not, but always ask to be sure.

  -J' heard some phones have this limit / problem, so just to be safe: can put you MP3 transferred from your computer as ringtones? Or do you need to download them online from special services, as I heard some phones force you to?

  -J' read on several websites that there are complications with the installation of applications via the data cable. That's how I install most of my programs of others on phones. So if I have a jar or jad file on my desktop, is there no possible to install it via data cable unless I have an additional file with it? Same question for no java Blackberry applications.

  -All Web sites mention that the OS 5 web browser does not support flash on web pages (which I find quite sad). However, I can still play the files flash directly from my phone so I just open the swf file?

  -Can you play audio files in ogg / wav format? In addition, it can play video ogv, avi or mpeg?

  -Can I download themes for it that change the icons and colors of the menus? I guess the definition of custom screen (independent of the subject) shouldn't be a problem. Also, is there a free software that allows you to create your own themes and exporting it to the phone via data cable?

  -Are there also a front-facing camera for 3G video chat?

  -J' read on the differences between the 9520 and 9550 and that the 9550 has a frequency of additional network, sure it can work. Everyone says that you can not use a Blackberry in America if you buy it in Europe, in particular the 9520. Is this true? And the more vital than the 9520 9550 compatibility?

  -OS 6 will come to the 9520 too? Some sites say it won't, while than others whether in devices that it will support an update. Hope very much it will be

  -Finally, this could be a sensitive issue and I don't know how poorly seen on it is here. But it's easy to unlock / debrand the 9520? I would like to get the latest versions of firmware and do not have the limited phone.

  Someone mentioned the provider to branding is not done for commercial reasons, but in order to keep the compatible phone (and shouldn't even be illegal to debrand). So I think it should be ok.

  Yes, they are a lot of questions that may seem ridiculous. I got this phone for several years, so I want to know all about it. Thanks to all those who can help you meet them, and keep up the good work with phones

  3GP is the native video recording format. All you need is the codec on your PC to read. I downloaded a free transcoder and it not only transcode avi (and other formats) for me, but also to put the codec appropriate in what I can play natively without transcoding. QuickTime, I think a codec were also held. There are plenty of audio and the recorded video.

  Hmmm... haven't really tried to do... worst case, of course you can rename them later.

  In fact, storm BBs use two detection of heat as well as the physical press. It's called SurePress technology. Heat detection determines where on the screen you touch and then physical pressure activates the 'click' somehow. The entire screen is great physical button, whose activity is determined by your finger on the screen position when you press. As such, I doubt it'll work with gloves on at all. I know, on the ski slopes, I remove my glove to do something with my 9550.

  On the BB, a port for all functions. Micro USB for charging and attached USB data transfer. When connected to a PC with the drivers installed, the BB will be time load (from the USB port of the PC) as well as allow the transfer of data.

  Technically, the BB model is unrelated to the size of the SD card, it supports. It is rather a function of the OS level that the BB is running according to the instructions this KB:

  What this site is fake. If you happen to be in a business with BES (or purchase hosted BES) environment, you can indeed have the enhanced features that allow only to BES.

  Applications can be installed via the data cable as long as they meet the necessary criteria to make according to this KB:

  If you have the .jad file, which can simply be copied on the BB and then executed on the BB to install the application.

  Yes, you can download themes (I have to admit no experience with this...) I found no need to use themes that I need my BB to feature what I need... themes he dressed simply in my humble OPINION). I have no idea on how to create themes.

  This issue is not that I consider as responsible. Everyone has their particular circumstances they need to meet. The features of the search machine and the frequency ranges of carriers that you want to run. Then choose the device that fits your specific needs.

  Without no doubt... but this isn't an authoritative answer. And you will not be able to receive replies by authorities here. Basically, upgraded the specs for OS 6.0 here:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/announcements/announcing-BlackBerry-device-software-6-0/TD-p/...

  With the series Storm conspicuous by their absence, I consider any current to be candidates for the OS6.0 storms. But it is indeed in my humble OPINION.

  But I'm not sure of your premises. You seem to be saying that you are locked in your level of update of carriers, as long as your BB is blocked. This is false. Unlocking is simply the function to allow your BB run on a network of different carriers... at the level of the BONE is irrelevant to that. You are free to use the carriers released OS for your specific model BB... There is just a tiny thing that you need to follow. But unlocking is not necessary to do so. There's nothing illegal or anything about unlocking. But it is useless unless and until you want to reverse your BB to another carrier.

• A few questions for the first blackberry development

  Hello

  First of all, my apologies for this being placed in the Java section, it seemed, the nearest section of what it is, but please move if need be.

  We have an application in development for the iOS platform that uses some geolocation and Web services.  We believe that we should have a version for the blackberry also platform, so we're looking in this evolution.  However, not being not to developers or users of blackberry, the different options for creating an application are quite overwhelming.  My questions are the following:

  (a) what language (Java?) is the most compatible?  Ideally, we would like to write the backend once, don't have to change the interface for devices of the curve through to the new playbook.  Java is also based on all of these devices?  None of us have any idea of Adobe Air, this is probably out of the question.

  (b) what are the operating systems are supported by what?  The curve I picked up seems to have Blackberry OS5 on it.  All operating systems support Java everything too, and whose support wifi location and cell tower map (the curve does not have a GPS unit).

  (c) I understand that during the development in Java there is a blackberry UI api, that's fine.  However, what version of Java is supported?  Is - this SE6, or we are talking about mobile Java here?

  (d) distribute the Apps.  The Blackberry App World seems to be the best route.  Do most people use?  It seems that the Blackberry is not restricted like iOS devices in how applications can be distributed.  Is there any other App stores (e.g. Amazon for Android?).  I guess it would be silly not not to enumerate the BB App World.

  Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated.

  S.

  It is a really difficult game of questions.

  (a) Yes is the short answer.

  The long answer involves noting that the PlayBook does not directly support Java, and development platforms only available to this end are currently Adobe Air and Web works.  I can't give you a good explanation, since I dabbled only in them, but in summary,

  (a) with Web works you are essentially creating a Web application using HTML and JavaScript, with some JavaScript interfaces to the native operating system

  (b) air seems to me be in another development environment where screens and treatment are defined in a "Scripting" language that runs on the device.

  Work Web development is possible on the current BlackBerry phones as well, although I have no idea how compatible the two are - in other words how much you would have to change to a PlayBook Web app works works on the Palm and vice versa.

  I suggest you ask a similar question in the forums for these two platforms and see what they say.

  Anyway, there is a train of thought that phones current based Java will stop at some point, and phones will become based QNX, as PB.  So right now, if you want to learn something, then Web works.  But the works Web will be able to do what you want?  I don't know, but I don't know that Java is.

  But whatever the customer, you should be able to write the backend once.  Everything should speak http towards it.

  (b) there is not a BONE by device. Most devices come out with only one level and can be upgraded, usually at the next big release.

  Take a look at this good:

  http://us.BlackBerry.com/developers/choosingtargetos.jsp

  OS 5.0 in theory supports the location of the cell tower.  I say in theory because I never had to work in the United Kingdom.  But I have not tried very hard.  In my view, WiFi is available in the OS 6.0.

  (c) blackBerry support J2ME, with a significant number of extensions.  Think of it as Java 1.4 without all the useful bits, but the then RIM tried to add their useful in bits.

  (d) cannot speak for others, but BB App World is all I use.  Tried another one and didn't get anywhere.  YMMV.

  I hope this helps.

• Questions about the storm of scrolling

  Hey all,.

  I'm currently porting a project I wrote for Trackball BlackBerrys above storm using the API 4.7.  I'm having a lot of problems with scrolling.  In my project of trackball, that I have three screens that need to scroll and my version of Storm none of the screen are the scroll correctly.  I hope I can get some advice on what needs to be implemented on the storm to get the scrolling to work properly.

  Overview of the main issue:

  I have a screen that has 3 managers on that.  On this screen the upper and lower managers need to stay in the same position on the screen.  Middle extends from VerticalFieldManager and contains a large number of custom fields (varies depending on the field how much user generated).  Each of these fields is focusable.  The constructor for VerticalFieldManager calls:

  Super(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL |) Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);

  On the Trackball version just scroll with the trackball to select all of the fields that has been added to the screen.  On the storm version scroll doesn't work if you select a field that is partially hidden.  Once you use this to achieve you cannot select fields that are not on the screen to start (i.e. everything that is below the initial load of the screen).

  The functionality of typical scrolling where you just touch the screen and move your finger up and down does not at all.  If you do this it simply changes with a focus on the fields that are displayed (to access any scrolling, you must select a field that is partially off the screen or behind the Fund Manager).  I have a NullField which is active at the top and bottom of the Manager, but it still will not allow me to scroll.

  If anyone can give me advice on how to fix this I would really appreciate it... I can't seem to find any documentation that implements really shows how to properly scroll on a storm.

  Thank you in advance.  If anyone needs more information let me know.

  -Spencer

  Corrette, you set the scope to 80% of the screen.

  Virtual measurement must be set to the actual height (i.e. the total height of all the fields)

• 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).

• Is a virus scanner that can be used with the BB Storm blackBerry smartphones?

  I am a new user of BB and chose the storm. I think it's a great phone but am concerned about connecting to the internet with it because of potential viruses. Is there a scanner for this problem and if so what is it.

  There is no viri that infect the BlackBerrys. Has never been.

  The first is yet to come.

• 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.
