Smartphone blackBerry OS 6 decreases considerably the independence and performance of the Bold 9700

Info on the device

Your carrier: AT & T

Bold 9700 OS6 Bundle 2342

Apps and free space

File before and after a battery to remove/replace. (Go to settings, then Options then status): free memory is 58291905 bytes

A battery pull fix your problem? No!

Installed apps and their version if possible.   (Go to settings, then Options, then applications):

The BT model/version device (you have to look at the BT device): Standard of the applications of the box.

Well Yes, installed OS6 on the "BOLD" and shows the famous BB battery life vanish along with all of the performance, but to stop. Small dial is almost always upward.

Why RIM would allow installation of software that absolutely ruin the device. I'm about to turn the device for one * sigh * driod... As battery life is more a determining factor, I guess.

Solution: Downgraded to OS 5, all right.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not synchronize Outlook with the Bold 9700

    I followed several similar questions on this BB, but none of the solutions have worked.

    Currently, my default calendar is empty.  previously, he was had duplicates of the calendar entries to about 1/2, but after trying some of the troubleshooting, calendar is now empty and does not synchronize.

    Don't know when it started, but probably it's a common problem with FaceBook Cical entered. I also had the double entries of many appointments.  The independent troubleshooting, I tried 1 medium synch that mostly eliminated my outlook calendar. After trying to restore outlook, synch realized was not working for the calendar.  Maybe broken several days earlier, don't know.

    Wait you have set up an e-mail account on the device once you have removed all? The Desktop Manager synchronizes with the default calendar is listed under Options | Advanced options | Default services.

    If no accounts are on the device to create an and make sure that it is set as the default, then try to reset the sync again and see what happens

  • BlackBerry smartphones move contacts from a nokia, the BOLD 9700 phone

    Dear Sir.

    How can I move the contacts of your Nokia for the Bold9700

    Best regards

    Thanks in advance.

    It all depends on WHERE the nokia phone contacts are located in the phone's memory?

    So, if Nokia phone has a micro usb port (does?) use Desktop Manager > switch device Wizard.

    If this isn't the case, then you might need to find the forum a users Nokia to determine how you can export contacts from nokia on your computer in the form of an ASCII text file so that you can import this file into Outlook via BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

    Still another way would be to use miQLive.com > download your contacts from phone nokia on this site, and then install miQlive on your BlackBerry and restore this site to your BlackBerry contacts.

    Good luck.

  • Smartphones blackBerry CURVE 9220 SLEEVES to the TOP AND DRAINS the BATTERY LIFE

    My blackberry curve 9220 gets really hot and begins to drain the battery.

    the entire battery life is dained out in less than 3 hours

    I try to freshen it, but it does not really.

    and there is no runnig requests in the back except the example by default-, phone, browser, bbm, and messages.

    and the strange thing is that when I turn off the mobile network of the battery keeps draining

    can someone please help I really need my email, bbm and whatsapp return

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Based on your description, I would deduct low or weak signal from your mobile service provider. Digital devices to modulate their energy consumption depending on the strength of the signal they receive from the Tower of the carrier. Low quality/signal strength, higher battery drain. For good check, you need to contact your mobile service provider, because it is the network, which is the cause. It is possible to have a few problems in the areas that you are in.

    You might also try to start in Safe Mode, to remove all applications 3rd automatic launch party (even if you do not see them in the AppSwitcher Ribbon, they can run):

    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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones improve OS 5 to 6 on the Bold 9700

    Hi, I'm having a devil of a time trying to update my Bold 9700 OS 5 to 6.

    I have BB desktop software 7.1.0.41

    When I connect the BB it is said that no update is available.

    When I download version 6 OS updates manually on the web and install it on my PC, they are not in the availble updates the list.

    is there something that I am missing?

    Ok. Bottom line in the front. If there is not a compelling reason for upgrade you to OS6, my advice is not to do so. I used the 9700, installed OS6 and returned to OS5. My memory is fuzzy, but I think the main reason was that I lost a lot of function with shortcuts if I had stuck with OS6. At least make sure you have a way to go back if you don't like it.

    Then...

    See http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...

    If you use desktop software t to download and install the operating system, it will only show you versions with your carrier. If you download the OS and install it from your carrier, again, you have only one choice of what your operator allows.

    You can install an OS released by another carrier. You must remove all instances of vendor.xml on the computer. Search for anything, including the hidden and delete any file vendor.xml on your computer.

    Note also that. When you download the files of the operating system, you must run it, run it on the computer.

    Hope that helps.

  • Smartphones blackBerry how do I change the email address next to the icon of e-mail on the screen message box?

    Hi I just got my first Blackberry. It was only for a week and I think I messed up. My wife has one and I wanted to get his address book in mine without loseing my info. I plugged the two s of Blackberry to the computer and use the Fund Manager to import the information. I used the transfer to a new Blackberry device option and I thought everything was fine until I looked in my address book and I saw all my contacts where gone. I don t care that there wasn t good number of them and I can easily replace them, but what bothers me is his email address appears on the screen when I switch e-mail message box and its top of page e-mail. I get my emails not his s so it's just the header changed in need so if someone could help that would be great.

    And here's one:

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry 9300 3 - fell in the toilet

    My phone slipped from my hand in the toilet.  I took it out very quickly but... you know the water has already obtained the parts.  I took out the battery and SIM all dried up.  Breath out with water and replace the sim card and the battery in the phone.  He began to charge the blackberry on the screen and hung up.  I took the new battery and sim and tried in my old phone and they both worked.  I put it in the phone all nothing on screen.  Yesterday I took it to AT & T and they said... Sorry $ 400 for a new... I sat out yesterday battery and sim outside in the Sun, hoping the heat would dry it out.  Put the battery and sim back in... still nothing.  Help!

    You have probably fried it by continuing to put the battery in and let her power.

    Most all BlackBerrys will work after getting wet, as long as you are patient and thorough.

    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
    3. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    * Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):

    • Place the BB in a container of dry uncooked rice, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    • On top of all heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    • On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

    I'm under BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.1.37 and turned off the option "Reconcile E-mails" and "Email" is not mentioned in "Set up Sync". I have an out business BlackBerry data plan with my carrier. My computer is running XP PRO sp3 and Office 2007 is installed my question is how can I synchronize messages sent from my Bold 9700 in Outlook 2007? Thank you in advance.

    I can't find this option in the documentation.

    Are there?

    Yes, in your BIS account for this email address configuration. Change the configuration and at the bottom, you will see a checkbox automatically BCC messages.

    Then, on your Outlook, you can set a filter for incoming messages of yourself to be re-directed to your sent folder.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Maps is loaded on the NEW Bold 9700, but there is no icon to start the application

    You just bought a new Bold 9700.  I ran all of possible update.  BlackBerry Maps IS loaded (v5.0.0).  The operating system is the most recent.  I see BlackBerry Maps in applications of the add-on, but there is no icon to start the application.  The seller is completely useless when it comes to helping solve the problem.  The GPS seems to work and provides the correct location data, but I can't find a way to start the BlackBerry Maps application.  What gives?

    GPS still works on the device, even without BlackBerry Maps.

    You're not be apps downloaded as such.  Are just icons.  It will be a futile exercise to remove them by going to Options > Advanced Options > Service books and removing them for these icons.

    They will always come back!  Nothing to do with the browser will affect any.   Your carrier that pushes them to your device.

    There's a print tiny memory for them.  Two options are pretty easy:

    Menu > add folder

    Establish a record for all pushed icons named however you wish.  Mine is "Junk."

    Move all the icons in the new folder.

    Otherwise, you can simply hide the icons.  You can combine the two options: the record of her icons move and hide the folder.

    Yet once remove icons through the removal of service book will be a never-ending task.
