Quick blackBerry Smartphones - when menu?

I was not able to understand the reason for these actions that happens when I press the menu key.  I usually get an options menu that appears on the lower left of the screen.  This is the goal.  However, there are times when I press the menu key I get a bar on the screen with 5 other applications of your choice.  Applications that are raised are not always the same.  Usually pressing the previous button and then the menu button will get the regular menu of the current application but at other times the bar keeps coming back and I can't function in the menu.  Any ideas?

Press and hold the Menu button for about two seconds will always activate the so-called App Switcher Ribbon bar.

Quickly tapping the Menu key always bring up the normal Menu, you have described.

These are the circumstances and in which the different menus are presented... it is all in how long you press the Menu key.

Good luck.

  • BlackBerry smartphones no Menu for some applications on Bold 9930 (OS7)

    Some of the apps that I downloaded on my new Bold 9930 with OS7 cannot be moved because it lacks the menu that allows me to move the application.  When I select the app in the 'All' view and click on the BlackBerry button, no menu appears.  It's as if the key is dead and totally inadmissible.  This only happens to some of the apps I downloaded and no matter the source.  Some were Appworld and some have been downloaded from other sources.  With other applications, a with 'Application Switch' in the top menu when I press the BlackBerry button.  The 'problem' apps work ok in all directions and I tried to remove and re - download them, but who has not solved the problem.

    After much trial, error and omission, I was able to solve the problem.  Even if some of the steps below seem repetitive, none of them of the problem.  This process will take a few hours so be prepared.  Also, I have my BlackBerry through work so I have the Enterprise Server and use the Activation of the company to backup such as emails, contacts and calendar items.  The process below deletes all these data permanently without a backup of the device, so unless you have a similar business system (business) maybe this isn't the right thing to do for you.  Here's what I did:

    1. Take your multimedia card out of the BlackBerry ("BB") device.  I doubt that it has an effect, but that's what I was doing.
    2. Manually remove all third-party applications the BB help AppWorld or other means.
    3. Install the latest version of your BB OS on your computer.  I have Verizon and typed 'verizon blackberry software updates' in Google.  It brings you to www.vzam.net.  Follow the instructions to install the download file of the operating system on your computer.  (Note: I don't know if this is necessary for the next steps, but I did when trying to another way to restore the operating system.)  However, I do not know if the following steps require actually you have the new operating system to install on your computer).
    4. On the BB go to security and do a Wipe of all data security and users, installed applications.
    5. When #4 is done, connect your BB Desktop Software 6, click on the "?" in the upper right corner, then click on Support resources-> Support Tools-> Reset to Factory Settings
    6. Now go to your C drive-> Program Files-> common files-> Research in Motion-> Apploader-> open the file called "Loader".  Follow the instructions.  The "active" elements are the elements you want resettled on your BB and uncontrolled elements are the ones you don't have.  I checked (or left as checked if it is already enabled) all items that came with the BB.  By now it should not be apps, but make sure that all third party applications that you have installed are unchecked.  Now click on "Advanced".  In the next screen, called "Device Data Preservation", make sure that both boxes (remove all app data and delete all currently installed apps) are checked.  In the next screen, click on "do not auto backup and restore the device.  Now, click Finish.
    7. The BB should now be completely and totally erased.  At this point, I did my Enterprise Activation, which has restored my e-mail, calendar, contacts, etc..
    8. Now, I went to AppWorld and downloaded apps one by one and the menu that I was not before getting to move, hide, etc. apps worked fine.

    I hope this helps.  Once again, if you don't have a similar Enterprise activation system, then you will need to include some kind of backup in the process described above, or else you will lose all data.  But make sure do it separately.  If you use one of the methods above to back up and reinstall, you could just reinstall the problem.

  • Data not updated blackBerry Smartphones when inactive phone

    Hi all

    Recently, I removed my main of my device e-mail address while he is on vacation.

    I just put back it, but now I find that data (emails and BBM) are not updated when the phone was in bag for awhile.

    If I put myself in response to or sending emails or BBM of unit all starts update again and all emails in circulation and BMMs come out at the same time.

    Everything working the normal flow is restored, but after being in the Pocket for awhile everything stops again.

    Any ideas?

    I noticed the problem when I started getting these archaic messages called SMS asking me why I do not answer to my BBM... naturally the idea of not receiving them is scaring me senseless!

    Kind regards

  • Quick blackBerry Smartphones battery drain

    Hello. I have a Curve 9360 since January 2012.

    Over the few days I warned to fast battery draining (1 to 2 hours with normal use, before it was 6-8 hours). So I thought that the battery is over. Bought a new original.

    Nope.

    I disable: ring, wifi, gps, unused apps. clean the battery contacts, leaving in charge for 12 hours. nothing to do. battery in a very short time.

    What can have happened?

    anyone has the same problem?

  • BlackBerry smartphones when you save in outlook, it save your documents on card?

    was wondering if anyone knew. a shame to waste all my .doc files if it is not

    Ah... Ok... Manually... and I think this goes for 3rd party applications as well. DTM backup databases of Basic... see this KB:

    KB03974 Databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

    What I do is to maintain a list of 3rd party apps I have installed on my BB. Because I'm "attention to detail", I still maintain this list of things that I got via AppWorld or other sources that maintain their own list of what I have bought/installed. I also maintain a manual backup to my PC which is on my map of media - now it's easy since it is simply my entire library of music, videos, and only a few documents of any type. But your use may vary.

    Hope that helps!

At whits end? Someone else had this problem?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If you are certain that there is no intrusion of humidity of 100% (honestly, what you describe seems decidedly like that... but still), so 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, thinking... 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.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • Off the Blues several icons and their blackBerry smartphones lines menu has disappeared

    Hi, Just turned 8310 to 8900 and it was working fine until today. In all the themes icons and the menu lines of profiles & Messenger of BB simply disappeared. I can't change my profile more. They are always in the file (8 profiles) when I click on the file option in the Desktop Manager, but I can't access my BB.

    I downloaded a theme from Bplay.com and it worked fine until today. But even if my BB to the original themes makes no difference, line icon and menu for the BB Messenger and profiles yet not invented it.

    I also tried the HRT and battery pull thing suggested in the forum, but also without result...

    I let myself really confused here... I am using Vodafone and Europe as my provider. I am currently in the United States and using AT & T and T-Mobile for roaming...

    Hope that everyone out there can give me a hint to begin to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Bert

    To be honest, I was a little afraid to make a top-up of comprehensive software, since I had done this on other BB in the past and really got me into a disaster more than in the first place...

    So I thought that maybe it's easier first try to reset to factory settings and then see what out...

    So, I managed to solve the problem like this:

    First I saved everything to my laptop using the BB Desktop backup manager 4.6

    Then I reset my BB to the factory settings via security... options/options/general settings pressing the BB button on the left of the trackball and choose the option 'clear the Handheld' and giving the password to 'blackberry '.

    Once it has been reset all icons where there still.

    Then I placed the backup I made of the laptop to BB, including settings etc and everything worked again. With the exception of my BB Messenger contacts, they where unfortunately gone. But having few contacts I could easily put right again.

    Problem solved...

    Hope this will help someone with the same problem...

  • Calendar of Outlook synchronization to blackBerry Smartphones when accessed through a web portal

    Can someone point me in the right direction?  I'm giving one of my Blackberry users the ability to synchronize its calendar of his laptop computer.  He can access his Outlook calendar through a web portal to our secure network.  This software has the capacity or is anyone know what software would do?  I don't see that as an option when you set up the software.  Because Outlook is not really run on his laptop computer

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it isn't really a problem with Outlook.  You seem very friendly.  They access their calendar/tasks and messaging via a web portal as a result of the fire walls, we have in place.

    However, I did more research on my own here and found that Blackberry Professional Software offers wireless calendar synchronization and which seems to be a good resolution.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones when I click on address book, I try to choose "new Contact:" and nothing happens

    When I click on address book, I try to choose "new Contact:" and nothing happens.

    I also tried another way - I got a call from someone and I chose 'copy xxxxxxxxxx' (x = the phone #) and then go to the address book and select 'new contact' - once again nothing.

    I had to call and select 'Add to contacts' in the menu and nothing happens.

    When I am in the address book and select a contact, then select "Edit" in the menu - nothing happens

    Problem solved after the removal of Yahoo Messenger that I've updated today.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones when Holster BB during the call, while BT, hang it up...

    When I get a call, I unholster the BB, look to see who's calling, then reply with my BT (BlueTooth Headset). When I try to case the BB, the call is suspended. I guess its because the physical call and end keys are getting hit. Is there a way around this? Drives me CrAzY!

    In fact, there is a parameter which, by default, will hang up the call when sheathed.

    To change this setting:

    1. press the call button to bring up the keyboard.

    2. press the menu button, then select Options.

    3. select General Options.

    4. change Auto end calls: forever.

    I accidentally disabled this option.  Now I don't remember where this option is, to wake it up.

    In aid of my BB, it is said to go to Options and then in General Options.

    But when I go into the options, there is no General Options.

    In addition, it refers to "restrict my identity."  While I remember simply say 'display number '.

    Where should I go?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    You missed the right jumping point!

  • Quick blackBerry smartphones discharge of battery

    Hi can anyone tell me what to do when you buy a bb curve and three months later begins to unload quickly, IE, after a full charge, it goes flat at 12.00. Took to the people, where I bought and told him he must be sent in the test center to see where the problem lies. I can't just have a phone replacement or battery as it should be still under warranty

    My 9300 did the same thing. You must turn off compression. Go to Options-> device-> storage and uncheck 'Enable Compression '. Then save the settings. That's all. Mine is back to normal.
