Some questions before buying phones smart blackBerry...

Thinking about buying the Blackberry Curve from Verizon Wireless, I had a few questions that I hope that the community could answer. I am currently using the Moto Q on WM5.

1. any problem passage of a WM5 to Blackberry OS device with respect to synchronization of all my data? I use Outlook 2007 with business contact for any Manager.

2. I know that most of the software I have acquired for my Q will be port any more, but what, all data such as spreadsheets, databases or word documents that I saved on my card?

3. which brings me to my next question. I have to reformat the data card, I use now or do I have to buy a new one? I currently use a Sandisk micro with mini adapter.

4. do the curve, unlike the Moto Q, backs up everything like the old Palm Pilots do you have? With the Q I had to buy the backup software to back up everything that did not get synchronized with the center of Vista Mobile Sync.

Thanks in advance for your help and I hope that making it an easy decision to make.

1. I don't expect you will encounter problems of synchronization of your contact information as you use Outlook. When I bought my curve first I have problems somewhat in sync with Outlook settings, but was fairly simple to manage after. Everything that was in my outlook saved very well on my blackberry.

2. you can view most of the documents on your curve even if I have not tried to view a .docx (word 2007 version) file. PDF files appear a bit blurry on my device. One downside is that you will not be able to edit these documents, unless you buy a third-party software to do this. If you can with a software purchase, I still have to discover this solution.

3. your micro SD card should be fine. I have not had any problems using my that was in your windows mobile. All my pictures and music adapted very well.

4. the software necessary to backup and synchronize all came with my curve and would see no reason why it would not be included with your purchase. So different from the back-up is similar to the Palm of the hands.

I hope that adequately responding to your questions. I can tell you that on the whole I really like my blackberry.

  • [Problem] phones smart blackBerry with blackberry curve 9300

    Hi all

    I'm new to this forum my reason for being here on this forum is very sevire. 1 month before my phone worked perfectly, but suddenly this month about 10-15 days ago he started shooting randomly without notice. and it only lights when we go out the dough and put it again or it to a wall charger there servere problems my rear cover does not fit perfectly when I looked to my battery, it was blown from the Center and constantly get the msgs "drained battery Pocket stop."

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    From what you describe, I assume that your battery is damaged... then perhaps dangerously. I recommend that you immediately remove and, if you live in security, to seek official support under these terms. If you have no warranty, so I recommend that you get a spare battery. I hope that your device itself is not causal to the damaged battery.

    Good luck!

  • Phone smart blackBerry Smartphones first and I am confused - loads of questions

    So, I am trying to get a handle on this new Blackberry.  I'm upgrading to a Motorola RAZR v3 and the learning curve is steeper than I expected.

    I bought unlocked on amazon.com and slipped my service from T-Mobile Prepaid SIM inside (no data plan).  I managed to get my contacts in there (not perfectly, but they are there).  I figured out how phone and text (yay).

    After a few questions, I finally convinced my router it was OK for the Blackberry to connect. I understood that I must use the Hotspot browser for surfing the net via my wifi connection and successfully, went to gmail and my personal site.

    First question: how zoom a page?

    Second, I think I can surf very well, but when I check the status, Wifi is not checked, it has a dashboard.  I'm sure he had a tick when I first put in place last night.  What is the dashboard and how to fix this?

    Where is my real problem is set up email - when I go to the configuration of email, I only get the choice of "corporate email.  It is not useful

    I need to know better what are the limits of the Unit regarding internet access - I thought I could use it as my Ipod Touch, which of course has * only * wifi.  I've set up email on this subject, no problem.  I have read in various places that it does not require a data plan for electronic mail, in other places, it takes a data plan to "use the wifi.  Well, what for, since I can surf the net fine?

    Could also use some advice on how to get additional applications, and if they will work through the connection of the phone, wifi, both or none.

    Oh!  And one of the reasons I bought this particular phone are that it supports UMA - this is supposed to go to the WiFi during a call, if the cell is too low.  My cell in my house link of sucks (even with an extension of the cell).  It is, on a device with no data plan, but a strong WiFi, that function will work?

    Sorry for so many questions, hope that y ' All can help me!

    Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    All (or almost) your questions can be answered in one sentence.

    You need the BlackBerry data Plan on your account. It will not work on a prepaid account. As simple as that.

    With THE BlackBerry data Plan email browser set, full employment, UMA WiFi calling AND it's cute little check mark by the installation of WiFi.

    Wait - what about applications?  Apps will not work with Wifi either? Why not?  Make my Ipod Touch apps...

    I spend $100 per YEAR for access to the phone.  TMobile wants me to pay $40 a month for a blackberry data plan.  Phooey.

  • No. phones smart blackBerry such a thing as a stupid question?

    I'm new to the BB 9700 and testing on the internet browser and I couldn't figure out how to get the 'mouse' (pointer) to the scroll bar on the right or bottom.  I have scrolling with the trackpad on the web page itself, but could not get to the right or down with the scroll bars.  How do you get it here?

    I noticed that the trackpad took me down, but I can't remember if it happened to the right of the steps.  I'll have to check again.  Thank you.

  • Incoming calls do not always resolve number of phones smart blackBerry address book contact

    I have a 8310 with os 4.5 (which I highly recommend) and I met a problem when receiving calls... the number is not always resolve on behalf of my contacts, so I don't always know in advance who he is! very annoying!

    for example, if the contact mobile number starts 079, the call sometimes comes with the prefix int IE: + 4479, but on other contacts, it will help 079, so sometimes when I get a call, don't tell me who he is. In addition, when the call is completed, it resolves the name in the call log.

    the question on previous OS, 4.2 I think. works, if I've got numbers duplicated by contact (079 and + 4479), but is not ideal. looked through all the options I could find with no luck.

    any help / advice appreciated. Thank you.

    It could be one of the three solutions... Try these:

    1. make sure that you set your own country code to the Phone Dialer screen > Options > smart dialing.

    Set your country code in this format: "+ xx" where xx = country code. Some countries have two or three-digit country Codes. Do not place not the '+' in the entrance of your contact.

    • In the United States, the value of this country as '+ 1' Code and place your local area code in the appropriate box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).

    2. in the same place, change the length of National number for the number of digits corresponding to your country (since some countries have less than 10 as that set by default in the BB). Check out the total numbers, less country code. Do not place not the '+' in the entrance of your contact.

    • For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (more than 3 for the country code). You must enter '8 '.

    3. you probably have "Content Protection" located on your address book.

    Look at the Options > Security > General settings. Scroll down to the content Protection > include addresses = no

  • Questions before buying a rocket

    I had a view for 2 years but he lost. I think to go with a rocket, because I read that it's better than the view and I barely used the video feature. Before I go buy a replacement mp3 player, I have a few questions:

    1. I went through at least 5 pairs of headphones with the view. The sound would die in the left side of the headset, even if the headphones were very good with electronics. The "rocket" wasting his time or what kind of problem?

    2. are there problems of compatibility with Windows 7?

    3 are there other mp3 players (under $ 200) with the exception of iPod and Zune that I should consider?

    Thanks in advance

    @1: I have my rocket since August last year and have no problem with the headphones or the sound. While he plays well

    @2: I have not met one, but I only use the device in MSC mode (so I could use it as a USB key). I still have not tried MTP mode.

    @3: I had a deeper look at the devices on the market last year, but I'm sure that the "rocket" has by far the best 'value for money '.

  • No. phones smart blackBerry smartphone made by BlackBerry - is it true?

    German press reports the end of BlackBerry as a manufacturer of smartphone.

    http://www.Golem.de/news/Mobilfunk-BlackBerry-entwickelt-keine-smartphones-Mehr-1609-123511.html

    Is this true? And delays in updating a hint of the near end of the BlackBerry smartphones? Both sell hardware as possible before moving to a software developer pure offering solutions to large business customers? And stop doing anything for the devices the year next after a last updated OS10 and Android?

    It is a promised how much official BlackBerry will support the PRIV and the DTEK50?

    What?

    http://blogs.BlackBerry.com/2016/10/the-future-of-BlackBerry-devices/

    "Stop us handset hardware development and take full advantage of third parties to develop the hardware and to distribute and support the BlackBerry handset brand."

    BlackBerry has signed a manufacturing contract, or in other words has had industrial partners. But BlackBerry has made the development and design, marketing and support. In the statement of BlackBerry itself, which ends. It will allow software; Is no longer develop and commercialize and support material.

    So to the OP, Yes to your first question.

  • Some questions on development on the Blackberry Pearl 8110?

    Hello. I have a few questions about the development of java applications on this unit.

    Well, asumming my old pearl supports Java...

    I have the Eclipse plugin for java installed using the 5.0.0 jre so I think this means that the application works on OS5 and above all, Yes?

    Not sure what OS this old Pearl works (I personally don't think it runs OS5?), and if he ran to an older operating system (say OS 4 or less) then my developed apps still work on this unit?

    Sorry if these are stupid questions.

    Thank you

    "applications developed in the usual Blackberry JRE 5.0.0 run on machines running less than 5.0.0 OS?"

    It is more accurate to say - are not supported on.

    A few apps, when compiled using the API calls that have not been changed, will work on 'low' operating systems, at least a number of people on the forum (yourself included) have told me they have managed this.  However, I tried it by accident (when I plugged the wrong device to load an application) and a device in brick.  So I wouldn't recommend it, even if it does not work.

    "do you mean that if I develop my app in JDE, it works on any device blackberry hosting any level of the operating system?"

    JDE versions have the same restrictions - there are versions JDE as there are JRE versions.  I think JDE 4.2.1 and JDE 4.3 are always available, so if you want to develop is a phone which works 4.3, because I think that yours, you could use the JDE-, but it should have the JDE 4.3 or earlier.

    You can also upgrade your phone and use Eclipse (which is what I would do).

    Clear now?

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your BIS configuration for these accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

    One:

    • Open Blackberry Desktop Software & connect your device with the PC using the USB cable, without inserting the battery.
    • You have three Retry option, update or cancel, and then click Update.
    • Once it is at the stage of the "initialization of pocket" update, then insert the batteries.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second:

    • Start your BlackBerry in safe mode.  Article ID: KB17877 how to start a mode BlackBerry smartphone without failurehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
    • Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow handheld to connect. If you are prompted to update, cancel the upgrade for later.
    • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: Article ID: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader

  • BB unlocking phones smart blackBerry 8800 locked with AT & T

    How to unlock bb8800 to use any gsm sim card. It is currently locked with AT & T

    Hello!

    Any BB can be used on any carrier that is running the same radio frequencies that the BB is capable of (and I have no idea if your in are such... you should check). But, to bring you a BB on a carrier network that they don't sell, there are several obstacles to overcome:

    (1) the carrier must say 'yes' to the fact... they are owners of their network and have every right to say what devices will be allowed to connect to it. If they say 'no', then it's the end of it.

    (2) you must be sure that your BB is properly unlocked since its origin manufactured for carrier... see this thread useful for more details:

    (3) you must get all of your voices works on the carrier, before you even try anything on data level services

    (4) you must be a subscriber of the carrier, a plan of sufficient data to enable BB exclusive services that you wish to

    5 (a) if the carrier directly supports your specific model BB, then you can proceed to the registration of the BB on their network, generating adequate for your BB service book delivery and treatment of the function.

    5 (b) but, if the carrier does not directly your BB-specific model number, then the challenges are much more that most of the carrier's systems will deliver, for BB, the service books required to enable BB exclusive data services, even if you have subscribed to them.

    So, based on this, your BB may or may not ever any function on this carrier network. It can be quite difficult to achieve, especially if 5 b applies. Then take a look at this and decide how you want to move forward. Most people end up just buying a new BB if 5b applies.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • Send SMS on phones smart blackBerry Blackberry for Blackberry

    I just bought the Curve 8300 series phone. I chose to not to buy the Pack of media that I do not use not.  I have unlimited TEXT and text with 'other' phones people have.

    There should be no problem using text on or from the BB to another BB... the carrier does not care if you do not the data Plan, for SMS, since it is worn above the vocal of your data, not in the data packet.

    Perhaps if you explained a bit more... made the message you send to the sunsetting of beneficiaries, or what? What are the parameters that you have to Options > SMS text?

    you need a plan sufficient active data to go along.if not the default blackberry browser will not recover any web page.

    With the older OS levels (which, being a product of end of LIFE, is that your 9520 can have all), in fact there was a restriction on the native browser requiring the purchase of a package of sufficient data to be able to use the browser, even via WiFi. It's just the way it was. With new levels of OS (only available, naturally, for the most recent non - EOL products), this restriction has been removed, and the browser can be used with the WiFi only and no associated data plan. I wish it was different... but it's not.

    BlackBerry devices in fact are very complicated... they have not really made for the occasional user who depended on things to be simple and easy. And this is especially true for older models of devices, as yours is. Unfortunately, being a former and device at the end of LIFE, there is no level of available most recent OS and therefore, none of the latest easy to use features are available for this model.

    I wish that the situation was better for you, but unfortunately it isn't and is a consequence of choosing such an old and device for end of LIFE.

    Good luck!
