Security of Smartphones from blackBerry problem (device locked on idle)

Upgraded to a storm after being completely satisfied with the curve. My biggest complaint is related to security.

My curve (if the active password) this would lock after sitting idle for a while.  This kept prying of

browsing through my files when my back was turned.  My storm doesn't have this feature.

I discovered this after that unit was sitting idle for an idle. When I picked up the device was unlocked

and the last screen, that was my place was displayed prominently.  Not good.

It locks and unlocks fine when you actually press the lock icon. But, lock the device itself, as the

Series of curve does, would the attention to detail that is needed, IMHO.

Am I missing a default setting here or there?

Advice? Suggestions?

You are funny

Okay, here it is:

Home screen > options > password

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Torch 9810 locked to the home screen

    Hello

    I would ask you for help. I continued receive notifications of updates to BB App World, I found quite annoying, so I searched the Internet for trick how to avoid these. I followed the recommendation of someone to go to options > application > applications > app world > and then deny all of their parameters. After having done that, the unit restarted and showed the following: Application completed, access denied for user LpBBMBridgelmpl. This notification stays on the screen, then it goes to the home screen where the unit is locked and shows "new messgae" notes. But Im not able to touch anything, cannot. What should I do?

    May thanks for your advice.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

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

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Torch 9810 Software Update Lock-up

    This 9810 was to make a wireless software update and got 19 percent of the total backup (Social Feeds) when it locked in place - it was left running overnight without change. The telephone switching market he returned to the same point. removing and replacing the battery automatically starts the process of update again, until he gets to 19% and crashes again. Switch on the screen when you press ALT and shift.

    Oh no... now you have a more catastrophic problem... 507 means that everything is gone from your BB - the operating system, applications, data. First we need to get the features of your BB, and then you need to restore from your most recent backup.

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below. (not applicable in your situation, since you can't take one now)

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You must also use these tricks, but please substitute 6a or 6b above if all load allows you to use a Web site:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

  • Blackberry Bold 9700 Smartphones from blackBerry backup

    Hello!

    I was able to backup data from my phone to the computer before it broke down. (Shows a white screen, I think the problem is the display screen)

    The questions are:

    1 is easy to fix the problem?

    2. how to open the data stored on my computer? I need to check some contacts and text messages.

    3. How can I transfer all the data again to a new phone? Should this phone be a Blackberry in order for contacts/messages/photos to be transferred?

    Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

    Hello

    1 is easy to fix the problem?

    In my view, that can be firmly answered by a technician with the device by hand. If the problem is not a hardware problem, you might be able to recover it with this:

    2. how to open the data stored on my computer? I need to check some contacts and text messages.

    Natively, the backup file (BBB or RPI, depending on the version of the Desktop software you used) is intended for a single purpose... as the source of restoration to a BlackBerry. But there are several 3rd PC-based 3rd party there apps that can analyze the file backup, some even to do something else with the resulting data. I've never needed, but I heard good things about MagicBerry. Search for a few seconds (for example, on Google) and I'm sure you will find plenty of candidates for your needs.

    ateliermd2003 wrote:

    To transfer to another BB, simply perform the restore:

    • KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data from a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file

    To transfer to another device, these 3 save game file analysis applications (from your point 2 above) would be your source... you would have to understand what requires this device non - BB and then manipulate the data in the required format and then use whatever of this non - BB device has to load the data on this device.

  • LANGUAGE of ENTRY of Smartphones from blackBerry to CHANGE

    Hi all

    I need to change the input from my bb to English language to French.

    I found where the do in the options...

    The problem is that when I get on the default English language entry screen / GB), when I click it, there is only English (United States). No other proposed.

    This bb has been offered to me by my former employer, maybe this can help you understand the origin of the problem.

    I have lloked on the site of bb to find answers, but without success sofar.

    Could you please help me find how to add a French in the other available Mo?

    Thanks in advance! :-)

    You would need to install an OS of a carrier that would include normally languages French or European.  Here are some instructions:

    1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use. I would like to use check European carriers (any carrier will work as long as the OS is for your type of device).  It is easier if you install the same version number you already have, you will be able to just install that language and not the rest of the operating system, but if you're updating to a newer version which is OK for... just takes a few extra minutes.  Make sure that the operating system download you shows as "multilingual".

    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    2. it's not bad to do a manual of your device first, backup using the Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. You can get the BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

    3. download the OS from step 1 of the file on the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

    4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also, check the following locations for the vendor.xml file and delete all instances of the file:

    On Windows Vista/7, go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research in XML Motion\BlackBerry\Loader (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

    On Windows XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application is In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

    5. connect the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader

    Pay attention to languages that are being installed and make sure you inlcude what you want.

  • Smartphones BBid blackBerry problem

    My 9320 does not recognize my BBID. I tried the password reset, what does not work. I'm now up to 9 attempts, and the next attempt will lock me up. Any ideas what I can do. I can't seem to find what to do on the blackberry site, all the tips keep telling me to change my password working isn' there. I get the error message "enter the username associated with this smart phone.

    It may be that when it was entered, there was a spelling error and what we think it should be wrong.

    If that's the case, then this account ID to BB is probably lost for good... all activities must have access to the email address and the email address is the same as the user name, if there is a mistake, then there is no way to receive emails of validation required in order to continue to use this BB ID.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Curve 9380 - gel/pause

    I've had this phone for nearly 18 months without any problem, but last week I almost he threw out the window!

    For starters, he did pause for a few seconds, making send SMS, e-mail etc very frustrating! You might be texting, and then it is paused on everything that touches your tent to support on, then will take between 5 and 20 seconds to come for herself. Sometimes when I unlock or just try to navigate the phone - its fustrating Yes aswell!

    And then yesterday and today, the battery had drained by noon, although he had been accused of the overnight! I rebooted my phone at noon today, and its once again once drained (18:20)!

    They relate, or if my phone died?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Please try this sequence... Note that, throughout the whole 4h15m process, your BB should stay connected to a good charger (not the USB PC):

    1. With battery, connect your BB to the wall charger
    2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not
    3. Remove the battery
    4. Wait 15 minutes
    5. Insert the battery
    6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not

    This has been known to "revive" some BBs.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem.

    You can also 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.

  • E-mail blackBerry Smartphones from BlackBerry regarding "update my password by e-mail"

    Hi, I received an email supposedly from BlackBerry to my phone at 01:04 titled Action required: update password.

    The message told me that I had to update my password on one of my email accounts in the BlackBerry internet service. HE said that Email from that address were not distributed to my phone (I only noticed at this point that they were not because this isn't used much e-mail) and to resume the service, I needed to update my passwsord.

    He went on to give me instructions on how to do it. He said to open my BlackBerry Internet service account is by opening the configuration of email on my device application or visiting the BlackBerry Internet Service site then to go to the page e-mail accounts, choose the option change the correct email address, update the password field and then save.

    Depending on my device, the message has been received using the email as needed update account and has been in my Inbox and came from "[email protected]."

    It may seem silly, but I'm always a little kept when I get emails about passwords, I still did nothing, but I connect to my e-mail account online and there are 3 messages in my Inbox that indeed did not come to my phone, but no messages from blackberry. I didn't have a problem with my existing password.

    Is it current for BlackBerry to ask me to do this?

    Thank you very much for any help received

    It happens from time to time. Fear not:
    it you don't trust that, just go to your carrier's BIS site and edit the passwd file.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Torch 9860 uses any WiFi

    Hi all
     
    I bought the BB Torch 9860 before two days and I already have the plan for the data set (200 MB). I connected to my WiFi at home, and it shows that it is connected. Now when I'm at home and I want to surf the internet, it's using the carrier's data package, but I want to use WiFi. I've looked everywhere and I can't find a solution. any help?
     
    Notes:
     
    On the home screen, I can see my WiFi network name and my name carrier (Etisalat). When I go to "Manage connections", it shows that I am connected to the wireless network. but I've never seen signal icon WiFi in blue or green or any color that gray (which means that the BB does not use WiFi at all)
    I want to set the default internet access in WiFi. But how?
    Some people told me that it will automatically switch between WiFi and the packet data, but as far as I see it, it switches at all.

    It's my WiFi diagnostic report:
     
    A Wi - Fi connection
    Current profile: Wael Netword
    SSID: Wael Netword
    AP MAC address: 00:25:91:F4:82

    Authentication server: N/A
    Empower your business with BlackBerry® and Etisalat Mobile Solutions

    Any ideas?
    Appreciated in advance...

    Here are some tips:
    When your Wi - Fi connector is enabled on your torch, you get a grey logo Wi - Fi on your home screen.

    When your flashlight is really connected to your local Wi - Fi network, the Wi - Fi icon becomes bright white. So if it is not the case, open the details of the Wi - Fi network (perhaps you incorrectly typed in the for example shared key)

    now, once the Wi - Fi icon is white light, it means that anything on your device will connect preference towards the world of the internet using Wi - Fi instead of cellular network.

    I know that you have a BlackBerry 7 device, but please read this article of the public knowledge base, it is pretty close to what should happen on your device, in theory:

  • Security of Smartphones Gmail blackBerry BIS and gmail app

    Hi all

    I have a few questions on the application of gmail (probably not in the right place) and using gmail on BIS (native client for bb so).

    First of all I would like to know if the data I send bis thru using the configuration of the phone messaging is encrypted to the server, as far as I understand the route is blackberry ==> provider ==> BIS ==> google ==> BIS ==> provider ==> blackberry servers, now are my password and mails encrypted during all this? I mean is all encrypted even after she passed through bis?

    Secondly, if anyone knows I would like to know how gmail don't (m.google.com/mail) about encryption enforcement, I see in its parameters always "use secure connection" which should mean its all encrypted according to political right google?

    Finally, if I used the gmail (google) app would always need a BIS subscription or just an internet connection would be nice?

    I want to know is that mail Blackberry can be a little more uncomfortable for me because of the connection is slow, but I still want to be sure, only I noticed, is that newspapers BIS on my account gmail (pretty normal tho).

    I see this has been discussed in the past, but he has never been a definitive answer, and I think (not tried however) this package sniffing brings me one either.

    Thanks in advance

    PS: I hope that you will forgive the noobness, relatively new to BlackBerry, and since my carrier offers mobile internet and BIS in separated packages, I am a little lost.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry App World

    I have a TORCH (software 6.0 Bundle 3049) with App World installed 3.0.0.73 from Blackberry Desktop Software.  I have download the updates and App World indicates that a new version is available 3.1.2.32, I download the new version and App World Spear is no longer.  In other words, I click on the world icon, and nothing happens.  I'm going to BB Desktop Software, delete App World, re - start the phone and re - install the 3.0.0.73 and functions of the App World.  In other words, until the App World informs me that a new version is available for the update and I can choose 'Update' or 'Close' and the cycle repeats.  I have 18 months left on my contract with Bell Mobility and I was kind of hoping that BB would fix it so I won't be too miserable until I can update an iPhone.

    I talked to Bell Mobility and that they me related to BlackBerry (RIM). The technical expert has helped me greatly.  I downloaded the software, saved my camera and reloaded the software bundle.  I won't go into details, it is best done with the advice of an expert.  Then, call your provider.

    But App World works perfectly now. So, all well that ends well.  I don't know if I will "jump" to an another unti now that my BB Torch works well again.

You will get all the results in the google search screen. Press the home button now.

  • Problem syncing of Smartphones from blackBerry with Lotus Notes 8 (Windows - no synchronization farm)

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the replication of a Blackberry Storm (9500) with Lotus Notes 8.0.2. The desktop software that I am running is version 4.7.0.25 on Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3.

    After setting up the synchronization of calendar and address book, when you synchronize manually, start the pop-up windows, where one would expect to see the progress bar of the just closed synchronization after a splitsecond.

    Even if I put the journal setting within the highest synchronization propertiesto possible value, no log is written at all.

    The Windows event logs do not show only one entry for that matter.

    When trying to auto-sync after connecting the usb with the computer devicethrough blackberry cell phone, the device is recognized, but still there is no synchronization.

    Everyone knows a similar problem before?

    Any hint is appreciated.
