Smartphones blackBerry 4.6 to 4.7, worth the risk?
Having finally upgraded to 4.6 a couple of months, that I managed to get this working (with the exception of having to make manual backups as normal rear blocks until out in Flexwallet databases).
Now version 4.7 is here I wonder if its worth the upgrade again risk\hassle. I can't find anywhere what are the differences (RIM should not publish some sort of version list?).
So, what is the opinion of the Blackberry customer support forums? Is it useful for some new features or bug fixes, or do I have to take the attitude "if it isn't broken don't fix"?

Just to clarify things. It's not Blackberry forums 'customer support', but 'the support of Blackberry' community forum. This means that we are the only guests like you, but if we can, we answer questions. There are very few representatives of RIM here on the forum, and they respond on rare occasions.
I know from reading the internet:
- 4.7 = 4.6 + storm is supported
- 4.6 = 4.5
- + "BOLD" is supported
- + able to save internal memory media files (no = no need Roxio Media Manager)
- + Media Sync is included (instead of separately, download the iTunes sync)
- 4.5 = 4.3 +? + very slow synchronization of events

Smartphones blackBerry curve calendar does not synchronize with the desktop computer
I have a Curve 8310 and just downloaded the new version of the device 4.5 software. Since that time, the calendar in the BlackBerry doesn't send new appointments to the office. When I go in the Options of the calendar and click on the default device, the wireless sync option is marked 'No' and I can't change it to Yes. Any thoughts? Thank you.
If I were you I would contact the IT admins. Among them, there will be some BES admins who work is to make synchronization work for all its users.

I love the new OS6 and MEDIA SYNC is great. Finally my itunes music is available on my blackberry!
You can "get rid of it.
The only change you can make is the 5 bars can be changed by the numbers by pressing ALT + NMLL (instead of the signal bars, you see the actual level in dBm) -
Download Smartphones blackBerry on computer, then transfer it to the phone?
How to download apps on my computer, and then transfer to the phone via Blackberry Desktop manager? I had to get rid of my data on my phone plan, but I still want to use functional applications on my Blackberry. There should be a way to do it, or what I need to change to an iPhone? I thought it was what provided for the BB Desktop Manager?

I don't think that moving to the iPhone will get apps loaded on your BlackBerry.
Some developers to provide the files *.cod/*.alx for office facilities. Some do not.
If the apps that you want to download the above files on your computer, use the Desktop Manager > AppLoader and move forward.

I am a new user of a smartphone and a BlackBerry, a Z10 with Bell, I'll give you the mandatory model number when I have a specific question. I am 2 days in this, still getting the thing 'gesture' down pat, I'm not too good at this but the representative showed me. Not a shot on the table-toss-away motion. There seems to be some screen pages that don't gesticulate to the small size of box at all, as far as I know, some people, when they may be X'd OFF... but they seem to go away once as the main icon screen is in place for a bit...
I have a message for the company of BlackBerry and it is, please add some info on your User Guides and instructions on the Web pages [this is written on my laptop, I gave the Z10, a rest] for THE BEGINNERS of SMARTPHONE. They generally speak to previous owners of older models BlackBerry or those who know the fact and not the person like me who has to learn to 'gesture' and tap and "stationary", etc... It is covered too quickly and too not clear in videos and demos, you have online.
I fear this could cause frustration for new users... in any case, I'm persistent.
Please persevere.
I have to admit that the Z10, great as a phone as it is, is not the beginner phone. Even I, with years of experience of BlackBerry, took some time to adapt to it. Once you get the hang of it, you'll see that it's the best smartphone that you can buy. Until that happens, I hope that you'll hang in there and give him a chance.
See you soon.

BlackBerry PRIV model STV100-1
AAE016 (aospl-msm8992 69 qc8992_sfi-user output software version
Android version 5.1.1
Last updated on 1st March.Previous version of the software had the same problem and can be reproduced like this:
(1) to any application other than the camera, drag down twice from the top and turn on the flashlight.
2) press the squarre and switch to the camera application, which says now: "camera not available."
3) slide down twice, turn off the flashlight and switch camera to the photo app, now there is no message, but the camera still does not work.(4) use the table to any other application, then the table to return to the camera application, which now works fine now that the lamp is off.
If you attempt to try the above, when you are in the camera app, once you drag down twice, there is no icon to turn the flashlight.
Hmm, that's an interesting and scary use case, please provide

my phone gets off power using... and it reboot peremptory I did not able to use the mobile... and also my data is on, but the phone does not connect to the internet. so I couldn't go... my memory of inbuild is also free (137/480) and I already have the micro sd card. Please help me solve this problem...
Your message is difficult to read and understand. Nevertheless, here are some thoughts and ideas...
Turn off or restart in use: lack of battery Possible. Possible loss of connection of the battery with the unit because of the movement of battery in the compartment, or dirty or corroded contacts. Possible software or the definition glitch. Failure or damage possible peripheral equipment. Troubleshoot, exclude a possibility at a time, starting with the simple and the less than fresh.
No BlackBerry data service: no data, or no service book plan. Add line if necessary plan. Do this correctly configured carrier plan. Return service directories.
Out of memory? Too many applications, too much data. Remove the need to free up needed space.

I thought it was a matter of BlackBerry initially, but now not so sure. When I add another GMail account, it works very well - so the problem seems to be something wrong with my original Gmail account. However, I compared each visible setting between the two accounts and can find no difference!
Here's the question: when I get a message on my Gmail account on the BB, notification indicators all work fine, but when I open the icon "envelope" it does not show the Inbox. It shows a folder named 'All messages' instead, and it is empty. The continuous unread message indicator show that I have a message but nothing is there. I realized that if I select 'filter' in the menu, and then select the Inbox, it will take me in the Inbox and the message is there. All goes well until I put down and the next message arrives. Same thing every time. It's as if the default view is somehow summer past "inbox" to "All messages" and I can't find any setting to fix it.
Looked like a BB problem at the beginning, but I've sent books service, deleted the account of the BB rebooted, added the account back, still no change. When I tried to add another Gmail account, it worked fine. Went back and added the first account, same problem.
It's embarrassing to admit, but I am a IT consultant and I'm working on things like this all day. I've never seen a problem like this before and I'm stumped. Does anyone know of a way to make Gmail account icon on the BlackBerry default in the folder "Inbox"? Or anyone knows what might be associated with a Gmail account, which could cause such behavior on a BB
Thank you

BlackBerry 9000 "BOLD" v5.0.0.1067 with enhanced Gmail plugin - the most recent version.

I've selected Yes and allowed him to restart. The message icon is still there after, but everything works fine now. If these problems similar witjh: do not reinstall the Gmail plugin... Just delete it.

BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Curve 9320 phone charger exploded during the charge.
I put my BlackBerry Curve 9320 on charges this morning that the battery is running low. Plugged into a wall jack, and after 1 hour, the charger went pop! Fortunately, I was sitting next to and off the charger to the power outlet before unplugging. Used cable comes with the phone and is plugged into my laptop (I know very risky) and hey presto on the phone was OK, so was the USB cable so that the fault was the charger plug! Jack was OK as my other half is an electrician and he said that the outlet was OK also. I am waiting for a new charger be delivered by Royal mail while I'm typing this. A lot of people who have this phone have the same problem? I was just lucky that I was able to disconnect immediately without any damage to the phone thanks to God.
Yes, the tat is thought too. Generally use a surge protected socket but used a regular wall outlet this day there without thought. My husband is an electrician and was told that the used was ok, the USB cable was ok, but the damage has been done to the charger and saved the phone thank God! My other half, with my permission opened the charger and one of the items was burned and stank! Have since been replaced charger and had a free USB cable included in the package that I'll keep it as a spare.

Smartphones blackBerry background image changes after connection to the blackberry Manager
I am a new owner of blackberry curve 8330, and I'm still trying to get all the options work correctly. A small problem I have is that my background image changes to the original image, the phone came with once I plug it to the blackberry manager to synchronize. I guess that there is a setting I'm missing. Can anyone help?
I think I solved it... Is your Photo in the background in your "Device" memory or your press card? If in the support card, once you sync, he returned to the screen of origin for your theme.
I went in the media, opened the photos, parades in my current photo card and while in the photo, I hit the menu, and he has a line of "move". Click on it and you will see Media Card and below will be the memory of the device. Click on the memory of the device and it will be moved here. Now, click on the photo and set it as the background of your screen.
Now, when you synchronize, it will NOT be moved. It worked for me, I would like to know if this is the solution for you.
Godd luck!

Smartphones blackBerry 3G signal is originally from draining the battery on my bold 9700
Hi all
I don't know if anyone could say this already in the forum. I found nothing when I searched keywords.
Drain the battery of my bold 9700 seems to be caused by the 3G signal. I know it sounds weird that a signal could cause such a thing.
With the signal 3G on my battery lasts for 15 minutes at the most. I'm not a hardcore user, I just check my mail and tweet (not all day - some of us have a job to do and may not be on twitter every 2 seconds). The phone would just stop (I don't mean it restarts and I don't get the message informing me in that battery power has been drained).
I've done the things suggested. I reinstalled the operating system and I went in the distant downgrade the OS OS5, but the question always remained. I've since upgraded to the version of OS6 2949 (latest OS for this phone). I also uninstalled all applications check the cause of the problem.
My last resort was to disable 3G and don't stay in 2G and in doing so, my phone battery can now last a whole day.
If I want to use 3G, and not have my phone die on me, I have to put it on a charger. Basically, the phone becomes a landline.
This could be a possible solution for anyone experiencing the same problem.
BTW, I've had this phone for almost two years now and I left still completely applications every time I have stop using them, that they are never active in the background.
My phone details:
Model: 9700 "Bold"
Carrier: Vodafone
OS: version 6 2949 (I think it's the latter)
Hi Shlain66,
Thank you for your Post...!
Please start handheld in safe mode and then watch if battery save increases or not

BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry bold 9700 shift key stuck and the joystick
Hello
I don't know if anyone has experienced this before.
Woke up this morning I noticed my shift button (the one on the right side) stuck from time to time. If I press it, it goes, however he returned a few minutes later. I thought at first, that my joystick works, but it's this thing. I disassembled the blackberry and even then it does.
The joystick is also up. Now it does nothing. I am devastated.
Any idea?

This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered. Really, it is more common than you think.
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).
4. 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 rice uncooked dry, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
* On top of any 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 -

Looks like something is corrupt, as wipe you it I loaded the OS to a newer version if possible.
Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.
http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
2. make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
3. download the OS files to 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."
5. This step is not necessary unless there is a problem on the next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a full backup), then after you get the 507 error (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
6 remove the internet connection for PC and reboot the PC.
7. plug the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
8. If you did step 5, restoration of the back upward. Follow this KB if necessary http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
Take advantage of the new operating system.
