Software for Smartphones blackBerry or hardware failure?

I have a Blackberry Storm 9500 It was originally a Vodaphone BB, but I had unlocked it so I can use it with my o2 account.  It worked fine for about 18 months.  Then one day I used the calculator and despite assuring the app was closed the phone developed a problem when I try to use still images or a camcorder. If I select the camera app, the screen remains blank and I get an alert telling me I should Close other applications and try opening the camera again. It not is not of all the other apps open and despite reformatting and reinstalling the software, the problem remains. The shop did install what I suspect, it was an older version of the software and the camera has functioned well.  However, the software was very dated and instead of the screen upward smoothly leafing contacts or messages, it would stick.  Once the original software has been reinstalled this problem has been resolved, but I returned to have no camera or camera video apps working. Maybe I should think about an upgrade, but to be honest, I am very attached to my Storm and I don't know if they still do a BB with a touchscreen.

Your advice would be welcome.

Thanks a lot for your answer.  I'll pass the notice to a friend who has now the BB Phone.  I took the bull by the horns and upgraded to 5860 torch and I am very happy with it.  It's great.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones trying to connect with the desktop software for my blackberry

    Hey, M trying to connect with the desktop software for my blackberry torch 9800 and it asks password for the connection. I am using same unlock password I use for my bb but for desktop sofware it shows incorrect... pls help!

    Make sure that you type on your BB, it's what you type in DM. don't forget that the keyboard on your BB is different from the keyboard on your PC. Some people think they are type numbers on their BlackBerry when they are really typing the letters. For example, to use numbers on a BB you must hold the ALT for each button, you push so you have to hold the alt key while typing 1 2 3 4. If you hold down the ALT key on the BB you would really be typed all W E R S. sometimes, people will hit the ALT key once (and not hold the button) before they enter the password and then you get 1 E R S.

    Who is? Make sure that you do not mix numbers and letters.

  • Software for Smartphones App World blackBerry fails after upgrade

    I updated my app world software.  Now when I open the program, it says that "an upgrade of the BB identity is necessary" and I would like to install it now.  When I click Yes, it is 'contact BB ID server 0'.  Then I get the error message 'identity BB installation failed, please try again later 8003' and the program stops.  This problem has existed for 3 days now.

    Hi all

    I solved my problem.  I'm with vodascum on the prepaid, but I don't think it makes a difference.  I tried to delete the app in the world and install again - according to the employee of vodascum, that works.  There can be no.  What worked was disabling the network vodascum uncheck "mobile network" in the management of connections and activation "wifi".

    My identity software installed in a Flash.

    Therefore, I attribute this problem to a failure in South Africa.

  • Software for Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager for 9630 (v 5.0.0.732) for Windows 7 (64-bit)

    Need help, please...

    Still using BlackBerry Tour 9630 (and old version 5.0.0.732).

    Just bought the new computer if moving to Windows XP (32-bit) running Office 2003 to Windows 7 (64-bit) running new Office 2013.

    Is it possible to simply download Desktop Manager from the CD I received with the phone and make this work?

    Yes, the phone is obsolete because I didn't want to part with them! Updates not taken for some time at the suggestion of Verizon and RIM, due to technical problems. I never thought that I would hold it long on the phone.

    A challenge, I know!

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much.

    It would be better to open www.blackberry.com/desktop in your browser and download the latest version from here.

    See you soon.

  • Media card for Smartphones blackBerry not seen by Mac Blackberry Desktop software

    Hello

    I have a Storm 9530 running 5.0.0.32 8 connecting to a Mac Pro Desktop version 1.0.2 (build 8) under OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6.2 running.

    When I connect the 9530, he starts the desktop software and mounted volumes to the Mac (they appear in the Finder).  However, in the desktop software, the storm is declared as having no card detected media.

    What is a deficiency in the Blackberry Desktop Manager, or a potential problem with the phone?

    Thank you

    Tim

    The issue was with the option 'Auto enable mass storage mode '.  With this on the storm that is connected to the system, media card is mounted as a USB volume and therefore, the BDM are locked.

    Do you mean that you forgot the password to configure email ID? If so use the forgotten password link if you remember your username. If you don't remember that contact and then your support operator representative and ask them to provide your username.

  • Issue of GPS for Smartphones blackBerry device...

    Given that the "BOLD" has the GPS function, do we really like ATT provider to use?

    I noticed that Garmin has the software to use and that he did not know if you are required to have two subscriptions such as ATT and the other for Garmin.

    Make sense?

    Thank you

    Yes you need to subscribe to an additional plan... Your blackberry; like most other smartphones. A - GPS [Assisted Global Positioning System] has built into it. This means that it requires access to data services to lock onto your position. Uses still A - GPS cell phone towers to triangulate your position, once there GPS takes care of the rest. Czech it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Phone

    Sorry, this isn't a correct information. You don't need an additional data plan, and it's not requiring an A - GPS cell tower triangulation.

    For example, I can (and have) remove the SIM card from my GPS-enabled 8900 or 9000 and walk outside and refresh the GPS acquire satellites, in this case, to locate me 4.3 meters. This satellite, no A - GPS or cell tower triangulation.

  • Keyboard for Smartphones blackBerry with three languages + other question

    Hello, question about the keyboard. I've used for several years, both physical KB (z30) virtual bb10 KB (passport - best physics kb). Something that both got kb was very well the ability to write in several languages at the same time, in the sentence, and the Ko magically would correctly identify what language I was using and could give me any suggestions according to this and more important still, if one has been written in English but then type something in my second or third language , will not auto correct. Now, I have a private and I have these two questions:
    1. - I can not type in several languages at the same time without changing the language first. I put the three I use most, but all the suggestions and auto correct options are in the main language only. I'm surprised because this has been well implemented with bb10 and yet a BlackBerry smartphone. Any suggestion?
    2 - for some reason, in mid sentence, a word would have the first capital letter, just the option in the space bar is the same word I wrote, but with a capital letter. Boring.

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    Sorry for the late reply, I didn't know you posted a suggestion... I had put everything in settings multilingual, but did not work. However apparently, in android, there's the thing that I found in another forum so let me add here... I followed these instructions step by step and now I have a kb truly multilingual, with automatic detection... some steps I've done it before with no luck but to do all in sequence... If you previously installed the multilanguage, delete it and start from scratch:

    1. install and activate the BlackBerry keyboard
    * Go to the language and entry
    * Go to "default keyboard / current keyboard", press "configure the inputs.
    method' and activate the BlackBerry keyboard
    * Select BlackBerry keyboard as default keyboard

    2 configure the keyboard
    * Under the keyboard and input methods, tap on the BlackBerry keyboard
    * Press on multilingual keyboard
    * Choose your main language (which is in German) and the secondary
    language (IE. US English)
    * Press on save at the top right and click on "activate now".
    * You will now see a dialog language. Disable 'language use of the system '.

    AND NOW COMES THE BIG THING:
    * In the language list that is displayed, you will notice that your
    main language is listed TWICE (in my case GERMAN and just below a
    second GERMAN. Select the SECOND ENTRY and DO NOT select your
    language school (in my case English of the United States) in the list.
    * Press return to save the configuration
