Switch to Smartphones blackBerry phones

9810 son is dead and that he wants to use my old 9800 temporarily. He put his sim card in and it works, but it can get it its name and ID instead of the old on it. Suggestions?

His name and ID? Do you mean to use his BlackBerryID on the device temp?

To change the BlackBerryID on a ' device ', there need reset the device to factory settings (which deletes the old BlackBerryID on the device, which allows you to enter the new).

Read this article from RIM's Knowledge Base to reset your device to factory settings.

  • Switching to Smartphones blackBerry phones 9320 to 9720.

    Please can someone tell me where I can download a manual that will help me, or is it possible through BlackBerry Desktop Software?

    I need this answer as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thank you

    BlackBerry Desktop Software has a swap device Wizard.  Takes you through it step by step, very easy.

    Two suggestions:

    -Do beforehand another backup on your original device

    -When you are prompted to erase the decline, an old (you can wipe off in a week or two, once you are happy on your new device and some you go back and all your data is on the new device).

    Can also make sure that you use the latest BlackBerry Desktop Software as well.

    See you soon!

  • Locked Smartphones blackBerry phone, cannot get contacts... Help!

    Hello world. I have a problem. went to verizon and they couldn't help me. My phone got wet (in the Pocket all raining) kept phone turn off after 3 seconds. When the phone is finally back, the ball should scroll to the top and bottom but would do nothing when you press down.

    I have a password on my phone so I hit the Enter key instead of use the ball. BUT... when I went to enter my password I discovered than the Q, P and DEL keys did not work. strange. These are the two keys to outer edge of each side of the phone.

    my password has in it, and now I can not unlock my phone. I have my whole life here: (here is another problem. I won't have access to the computer where my contacts are guaranteed for 3 months I'm working away.

    Is there anyway to transfer contacts to a new computer? can I bypass the keyboard on the device by plugging it into my laptop (pc) and then unlock it this way?

    Verizon sent me a new camera, but I really need my contacts on this phone. Help, please

    If I could get the key to work, I would be all set. The tech at verizon button is popped and tried using a thumbtack, but it did not work. Can blackberry remotely delete an existing password? I know that sounds stupid, but I'm desperate.

    Thank you

    Not stupid.

    You can't break or bypass the password. You set here for a reason and that BB works as it should to be sure.

    On your laptop, load Desktop Manager version 4.6 without the media manager

    Make a backup of your device. It will ask for the IPL in DM, and you can enter on the laptop there. Full backup.

    THEN, when you get the new device, use Switch Device Wizard DM to transfer everything on the new BB... yet once you enter the PW of the former.

    If you synchronize with Outlook, do also, as a precaution, the old appliance.

    Good luck. You should be fine this way.

  • Ghost of Smartphones blackBerry phone :(

    Hello!

    Since last week, my BB behaves like a "ghost".

    When I check my emails or SMS, it instantly creates a project and saves it. And not only one, but several. I have to turn the phone off to stop it.
    When checking the SMS and MMS it automaticaly paste any previous copied text and replies to the sender. In addition to cost me money, it's annoying me for several SMS Messages are sent with no sense or worse, with the text and the names of other people.

    It opens to my contacts list and send empty SMS to many of my contacts.

    When you try to see my album, it opens an image and keep zoom in and out and records under my BBM profile picture.

    When using BBM surveys, it keeps switching from cat to cat and delete previous posts.

    There are so many problems with my phone, I don't think I can describe all here...

    But, honestly, my phone works as it is currently controlled by someone. If you keep looking on how some minutes to do it all by himself, u could get confused as I am.

    I appreciate all help.

    Thanks in advance.

    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).
    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
  • Number of Smartphones blackBerry phone sounds

    I've set up my 8360 curve but I can not set the number of rings of real phone I can for other filers. I saw the message in the Blackberry manual which said that it could be controlled by the provider - in this case Vodafone. I got in touch with them, but they say that they have no control over that. They can provide me with a code to extend the time before it goes to voicemail, but it does not affect the number of rings.

    I can change the volume and I have control on the vibration and the LED but I can't change the number of rings of 1. Can it be changed and, if so, how?

    John RD

    You can try dialing abbreviated number below. This is supported by the majority of GSM operators.

    • to set the number of rings: * 61 * YourVoiceMailNumber * N # send/Yes button
    • to cancel the setting: # 61 # then press send/Yes

    If your mobile phone voicemail number, for example: + 12-34-567-890-1234 , and you want your phone to divert to voicemail after say 20 seconds, and then type: * 61 *+ 12345678901234* # 20

    The time can be up to 30secs (default network)

  • Smartphones blackBerry PHONE DELETES random MESSAGES AND CALL LOG

  • Smartphones blackBerry phone not recognized DS 4.5

    I have a 8800 world edition series phone.  I did a clean install the new Desktop Software 4.5 (of 4.2 which doesn't work anymore), however the software sees the phone for a moment and then disconnects.  I reinstalled the USB drivers updated, other controllers software I thought that he maybe blocked I have a recorder of the word that he has stopped working since I installed it, uninstalled.  I have reset the BB without success.

    It's very frustrating and I would like to know what I can do to make the software as my phone again! I use XP SP3 on an area and installed the desktop software as the Internet, not the /redirector of server account option because we run a BB server as I am the only person who has a BB.

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Make sure that your USB cable is connected to one of the main rear USB ports of the PC. A USB hub, or USB Monitor port not a USB port on the front of the PC.

    You could do an uninstall of DM 4.5 (on your PC > start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry phones showing invalid sim.

    Any ideas... phone showing "invalid sim" and so out of action... even at 3 phones different blackberry still ok when put on a blackberry not. Phone of her husband so no access to email, contacts, etc without sim works fine. Thanks in advance. Assuming that we need a supplier to replace the sim card?

    Hello! If the sim card is old, you might need replacement. A sim card error message that does not resolve with a soft or hard, starting usually indicates a problem with the SIM itself.  Do you know if the sim card is 32 k or 64 k? The only difference between the two (as far as I know), is that the 64 k can automatically detect the network stronger. If I were you, I had to contact my operator to replace the sim card.

    Your battery is dead. Just plug in a refill it. I had the same thing happened to me with a 9860. I think that in my case the phone tries to connect to a very weak signal and ran down completely from one day to the next.

  • Smartphones blackBerry phone does not turn on.

    Hello

    I traveled for more than 20 hours yesterday and somehow my phone turned on during the flight and without a network here, he has completely drained my battery.

    While the back home I tried to turn it on and it displays a low battery, radio off message. Today I plugged my charger and its starts do not.

    I have left for more than an hour now and have tried several Chargers too.

    any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Just found the problem.

    some of the keys were still blocked, while others were inadmissible.

    I had to jiggle n each key... in which case, the red button to switch on the phone worked.

    I googled a lot and seems to a lot of people have faced similar problems. only their phones were turned on at that time here, so it was easy to diagnose.

  • Smartphones blackBerry phone does not ring or vibrate

    My blackberry 8530 curve is not ringing or vibrating, sound is not defined for all alerts off the coast. I have high alerts.  Help?

    Is it with phone calls or anything like that?

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    Now test a ringtone or whatever.

  • Change of Smartphones blackBerry phone on the screen

    Hi all, just got my Blackberry Curve 8520 for 1 week. I changed the phone number from the one provided in my old number to avoid having to inform all my cotacts a new number. When I go into the screen of the calls (the one raised when you press the green phone button) on the line "My number" it always shows the number not provided that I changed. I went to the Virgin Media Store today, but I've been told that it cannot be changed. I find this hard to believe, if it can be changed how? Hope that all makes sense.

    You are the very welcome!
