• BlackBerry smartphone how to check the calls on BB Curve 8520?

  I see the icon that I have a lack call on my Blackberry Curve 8520, but I don't know how to check and see what I missed call them...

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you.

  Also, I have not tried the net outside of my house on my blackberry, again - it's going to work everywhere wherever I go?

  The internet should work everywhere where you get the signal (WiFi or GSM/GPRS/EDGE). For missed calls, according to settings you can click on the green button, or go to your message list. If you want to see ONLY your missed calls, go to the message, press the menu key, then display folder, then the missed calls.

• My storm blackBerry smartphones comes on the screen upward, but does not show a picture!

  My storm blackberry 9530 recently fell to the ground, but nothing happened. But today its very slow and most of the time the screen turns on but does not display any image at all, just a black screen

  What can I do?

  Hi Mxgaudelli,

  Welcome to the BB Community Forum...

  There seems to be a hardware problem... have u tried a reboot of your BB battery pull, if you have not then try it once... If the problem persists, I recommend you to visit a centre of Service of BB and they have a quick glance at your question...

• BlackBerry Smartphones without attachment in the transmission of emails

  When sending emails with attachments, attachments do not go through.

  No idea why?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Here's a knockout who deals with this error:

  • KB10509 E-mail messages with attachments sent from the BlackBerry smartphone are received without the attachment

  I hope that it contains something useful! There are also several existing threads on this site, which discuss exact error... your opinion of those who may prove useful, and a search of this website, by using the error message, error code or symptom, should reveal all the existing threads that are applicable to you.

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Google sync on the blink?

  Hello

  I just deleted google sync app to my BB and took the advice of RIM here to allow syncing of my BB calendar with my google calendar - http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB24204&sliceId=2&cm...

  However, despite advice it is certainly not true that "contributions sent the BlackBerry smartphone are synchronized with the calendar based on the web in a few seconds." I saw an entry on gmail after 10 minutes and I'm still waiting for the others.

  Is there a known issue with this? I have no problem with the network at all.

  Thank you

  Luke

  If please try reebooting your phone and connect to your google calender after 5 minutes.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not send messages or make phone calls

  My BB torch worked fine earlier, but there is an hour, it just stopped.  He has connections and bars, until in the Connections window bit. I tried it turn on and off as well as to take out the battery after it's off to reset.  I tried to remove all of my old conversations in the phone as well. I can still connect to the internet on this topic very well.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

  (1) registry HRT

  • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network

  (2) remove and return Service directories

  • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
  • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

  (3) restart to take batt

  • 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 this isn't the case, then you should contact your provider of wireless services for formal support.

  Good luck!

• Clock blackBerry Smartphones busy (e) in the middle of the screen, common solutions helps do not

  I have a Blackberry Tour 9630 with the OS 5.0.0.591 and I still see a timer/clock occupied the middle of my screen. This is usually for a 10-15 sec and seems as if the BB is 'think '. I tried common solutions as the closing of applications with the command close to do a battery pull, etc. and continued to have this problem. Any suggestions?

  If it helps, here is the third-party applications, I have installed. I put an asterisk beside those who need to stay open (or at least I think they must stay open?):

  -1.8.4 fourSquare

  -Google maps 3.2.1

  -* Memory Booster 3.3

  -* MissingSync 2.0.4.301

  -OpenTable 1.0.2

  -* RingScheduler 1.0.30

  -* Skydeck 3.20

  -The weather channel 1.5

  You store pictures on the BlackBerry smartphone or ON the Media Card?

  Look at the Options > file free of charge. What is the number said out there?

  Similarly, you don't think, you have a lot of applications running, but if you open the application switcher function, what is there?

  Is the browser on a page?

  Try opening the browser > options > Cache operations > clear the Cache.

  Now, do a reboot: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

  Once the backup device, give him five minutes to calm down all activity data.

  Now, let's see if you keep saw the hourglass lag?

• BlackBerry smartphones my questions on the Storm 2 9520

  Hello everyone I do not have a Blackberry but I intend to update my phone soon and get a (I currently have a Nokia N95 8 GB). I looked through the list of Blackberry models, and the 9520 that I fell in love was the Storm 2 9520. I will probably get one, but I have several questions that I couldn't find clear answers on google. I'm picky about details on a phone, so I want to know everything before get you it. Here is the list of things that I had on my mind:

  -J' read that this phone records videos in 3gp format and not mp4. I'm a little worried about that, because I feel 3gp is less intense than mp4 by Windows (Win 7 user here). For example, 3gp, I filmed with an old phone years ago don't even open correctly in most players and no audio. So, is the format the phone records in playable correctly in Windows (Linux too)?

  -J' I always rename my pictures and my videos after taking. With the 9520, you can click a button or menu entry to rename an image / clip immediately after making it? Or they be saved with a name only automated, and you need to open your file browser and navigate to the file to be renamed?

  -A curiosity, I got on the touch screen if it is based only on the detection of heat or by pressing physics too. What I've seen, the heat detection is used when you lightly touch the screen and select the stuff / drag, while only pressing is used actually click. I'm curious because I could use my phone outside in the winter when I have leather gloves, and the screen can not detect my body energy then. Of course, it is difficult to use any phone with gloves, but I sometimes do to some extent

  -Use the charger micro-usb port, or another port? I know that some devices that use USB for charging and connection to the computer, which is a method that I prefer in general. No problem if it is not, just curious.

  -In the specs of the phone, it says maximum 8 GB micro-SD cards are supported. Someone can confirm that more cards are inconsistent and do not work (16 / 32 GB ones)?

  -J' read on a website that the only way to configure e-mail is to have a Blackberry Enterprise Server (do not exactly know what what). But you need to register with Blackberry using a classic IMAP / POP email account (like gmail or yahoo mail)? And besides, you need to register with any Blackberry service to use 3 G internet supplier or to use messenger (YIM MSN and AIM)? I'm guessing not, but always ask to be sure.

  -J' heard some phones have this limit / problem, so just to be safe: can put you MP3 transferred from your computer as ringtones? Or do you need to download them online from special services, as I heard some phones force you to?

  -J' read on several websites that there are complications with the installation of applications via the data cable. That's how I install most of my programs of others on phones. So if I have a jar or jad file on my desktop, is there no possible to install it via data cable unless I have an additional file with it? Same question for no java Blackberry applications.

  -All Web sites mention that the OS 5 web browser does not support flash on web pages (which I find quite sad). However, I can still play the files flash directly from my phone so I just open the swf file?

  -Can you play audio files in ogg / wav format? In addition, it can play video ogv, avi or mpeg?

  -Can I download themes for it that change the icons and colors of the menus? I guess the definition of custom screen (independent of the subject) shouldn't be a problem. Also, is there a free software that allows you to create your own themes and exporting it to the phone via data cable?

  -Are there also a front-facing camera for 3G video chat?

  -J' read on the differences between the 9520 and 9550 and that the 9550 has a frequency of additional network, sure it can work. Everyone says that you can not use a Blackberry in America if you buy it in Europe, in particular the 9520. Is this true? And the more vital than the 9520 9550 compatibility?

  -OS 6 will come to the 9520 too? Some sites say it won't, while than others whether in devices that it will support an update. Hope very much it will be

  -Finally, this could be a sensitive issue and I don't know how poorly seen on it is here. But it's easy to unlock / debrand the 9520? I would like to get the latest versions of firmware and do not have the limited phone.

  Someone mentioned the provider to branding is not done for commercial reasons, but in order to keep the compatible phone (and shouldn't even be illegal to debrand). So I think it should be ok.

  Yes, they are a lot of questions that may seem ridiculous. I got this phone for several years, so I want to know all about it. Thanks to all those who can help you meet them, and keep up the good work with phones

  3GP is the native video recording format. All you need is the codec on your PC to read. I downloaded a free transcoder and it not only transcode avi (and other formats) for me, but also to put the codec appropriate in what I can play natively without transcoding. QuickTime, I think a codec were also held. There are plenty of audio and the recorded video.

  Hmmm... haven't really tried to do... worst case, of course you can rename them later.

  In fact, storm BBs use two detection of heat as well as the physical press. It's called SurePress technology. Heat detection determines where on the screen you touch and then physical pressure activates the 'click' somehow. The entire screen is great physical button, whose activity is determined by your finger on the screen position when you press. As such, I doubt it'll work with gloves on at all. I know, on the ski slopes, I remove my glove to do something with my 9550.

  On the BB, a port for all functions. Micro USB for charging and attached USB data transfer. When connected to a PC with the drivers installed, the BB will be time load (from the USB port of the PC) as well as allow the transfer of data.

  Technically, the BB model is unrelated to the size of the SD card, it supports. It is rather a function of the OS level that the BB is running according to the instructions this KB:

  This issue is not that I consider as responsible. Everyone has their particular circumstances they need to meet. The features of the search machine and the frequency ranges of carriers that you want to run. Then choose the device that fits your specific needs.

  But I'm not sure of your premises. You seem to be saying that you are locked in your level of update of carriers, as long as your BB is blocked. This is false. Unlocking is simply the function to allow your BB run on a network of different carriers... at the level of the BONE is irrelevant to that. You are free to use the carriers released OS for your specific model BB... There is just a tiny thing that you need to follow. But unlocking is not necessary to do so. There's nothing illegal or anything about unlocking. But it is useless unless and until you want to reverse your BB to another carrier.

• Images to transfer from the pc to the storm blackBerry Smartphones

  Hello I am new to the blackberry forum.  I tried to use a search but I don't see anything that relates to my specific problem.  I'm trying to transfer pictures from my pc to my storm.  I tried to take the sd card on the phone and put in on slot sd on my pc, but my pc does not recognize nor detects the card at all.

  Can someone suggest a solution as to how can I transfer photos from my pc to my storm.

  Thank you

  Thank you Craterz, for your help, once I rebooted my pc blackberry icons 2 came. Guess I should have done that before I asked for more help.  In any case, I really appreciate your help.  This problem has been resolved.

  Thanks again

• Question on load of the storm blackBerry Smartphones

  Hi guys,.
  I just got a storm 9500 from vodafone, I kept my storm to charge for 7 hours, the battery icon is now show full, but a lightning bolt icon is still on the battery meter, in the manual it shows only the icon full battery charge, I m get the icon full battery, but with lightning bolt sign still on it ,
  is this normal?
  Thank you.

  Not all the time but probably more like...   If you encounter off the coast or a strange behavior with the storm a battery pull will most likely fix it...   Indeed BB app world has an application called quick draw, it's free and it simulates a battery pull, so do not separate the back all the time...  I have good comfort for a downside... go figure

  Please don't forget to fix the thread if others now what to do if they have the same problem.  Thank you

• Problems with my Blackberry Storm blackBerry Smartphones

  I just bought a new Blackberry Storm Verizon about a week and a half. I really wanted to get one when they came out first, but a lot of apps from third party that I used all the time on my Motorola Q were not available for the storm. After waiting this long I decided to go there and get one anyway and test it. Much, I love the storm and the concept, Blackberry (storm) and very in deca. I used a Motorola Q for the last 3 years and could do almost everything I needed with it. Why make things too hard and try to be an island intrinsically Blackberry?

  Problems I see with Blackberry and storm:

  1 JAVAScript does not work correctly. I have installation of webcams in my office and at home that runs Javascript and they work perfectly on my Q using the browser Opera Mobile, Skyfire and IE. On my Storm, I tried to search for it a Blackberry, all three modes of emulation, BB, IE and FireFox and none it will display. (Note: I also tried the bolt and Opera Mini, the cushion of numbers does not work in Opera Mini, he types lower case letters).

  2. software remote access connection is another nightmare. I could use on my Q software VNC FREE remote access to my office or home computers. For the storm, the ONLY option I can find is simply a paid for the program.

  3. the third-party apps. There are very, very small number of third-party for the Blackberry Storm applications (and seems to be the Blackberry in general). Is Blackberry so hung up on themselves that they will not be open and allow the sellers to fill the big gaps they left with their product (s).

  4. I can't access to my college email address located on Microsoft Outlook Live via a web browser or email on the BB.

  Here are some of the problems that I have seem to have with the BB. Too bad I don't like Windows, I have to say it works and third party apps are lacking and simply do not work. Apart from all this, I'm really doing my job as a storm for me, because I love the technology involved with him.

  A gleemer of hope, thanks goodness PDANet has finally released a beta for the storm. He was the biggest reason that I would not get a storm originally was to be able to connect my laptop to my smartphone.

  It seems fitting that BB is trying to keep their technology wrapped so that no one else can fill in the gaps that they leave, because if it was easy to do, then there will be tons of other apps out there that would work.

  darkcyber, sorry, but it seems that your post was missing in the middle of all the others.  If you go through the other posts, you will actually see that there is a lot of help here and there clearly are a ton of people who use it.

  1. now then, remember that BlackBerry phones are not the same as the Motorola Q (which was running on Windows Mobile, if I remember correctly).  JavaScript works, but you must make sure his tour on and you may need to change some settings other.  I can't remember where I saw it, but someone has posted a message on the use of their Storm for the display of the webcams.  They said something about having to adjust the parameters of port and udp (sorry, I have not myself this configuration and therefore do not know exactly how do).  Use the search option and you might be able to find the post.

  2. Secondly, it is once again a difference between BlackBerry and Windows Mobile software or Palm OS.  Be happy that you have found a program paying to use.

  3. This can be your impression, but believe me, there are apparently struck for BlackBerry - in thousands tons.  Try to check the new BlackBerry App World and for other programs, check BPlay, MobiHand, Handango, and various other app stores.

  4. do you have a BIS account set up?  You must configure a BIS account and set up your College email there.

  I hope that some of these things will answer your questions, or at least points you in the right direction.  In the future, try to use a more descriptive than 'Problems with my Blackberry Storm' title because that will probably draw more people.  And if you get no response, it means one of two things happened - your message is simply missed, or nobody has an answer to your question.  If so, feel free to go back.  Do not react with the message you left as what makes no one want to answer at all (I did because I'm nice and felt bad that the original message had not been addressed, but I know others here who could see this answer and simply walk because of this response).

• BlackBerry smartphone how to install the new language? == > french

  By mistake I delete all my blackBerry Bold 9900 formulations.

  Rest than English.

  I would add yet another language ==> french example...

  In desktop software, I don't have in Applications: "Language and support of entry" to choose...

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  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.

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

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

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/software/desktop.html

  (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.
  • Use this KB to help you choose the good alternative OS to include the language you want:
  • • Article ID: KB05305 Location of support for BlackBerry smartphones

  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:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...
  • Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC.

  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. During the process, when it presents you with the screen of the things Application Loader to install on your device, make sure to develop options and select all items that relate to your desired language.

  Once the operating system is loaded, you can proceed with the activation of the language you want and restoring your backup (on the device).

  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:

  • KB19915 How to perform a clean reload of the smartphone BlackBerry using BlackBerry Desktop Software application software

  Good luck and let us know!

• Storm blackBerry Smartphones to stay connected

  Hey everybody. I'm new, so sorry if I posted this in the wrong category.

  I guess I'll start from the beginning... Yesterday my Storm decided to junk on me once more. It rebooted itself at random and displays a screen saying "the catastrophic Assertion failure". I tried everything without success. Finally, I managed to wipe completely and re - install the operating system. It was good for about 10 minutes.

  From now on, it lights up, and if I connect it to my computer, all that happens is the red light (without blinking, stays right on) and it will start the connection / disconnection. The phone itself won't even turn. And I tried to recharge it for 9 hours now. I tried every tip and the thing I can find on these forums. The main problem is that it won't stay in touch long enough to do anything. I can't even wipe it again with the program JL (whatever it is called).

  I've been reading around and see a lot of people said that in Device Manager, the blackberry comes in one of the USB root Hubs when they hang it up. Mine however appears in its own category under Blackberry, with a Blackberry device labeled sub-category.

  I don't know if this is the problem and the reason why it will not stay connected.

  It's the only thing I can think of, so if anyone has a solution or even another reason which is why this is happenning, I'd be happy to hear your ideas! I hope to return on jobs calls in the next few days so this phone is a must for me

  Oh and if it is useful at all, I have the latest version of the Desktop Manager, and last night before it crashed ten minutes later, I installed the latest OS. I use windows vista

  Thank you!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  There are a few things to try, but honestly, I don't hold much hope. I can't find reference to this specific error message, but it sounds not well at all... a sign of hardware failure in my humble OPINION, for which no corrective software can help. If you are really needing to work, I recommend the direction directly to your store of formal support wireless and likely replacement service provider.

  Good luck!
