To update blackBerry Smartphones or not up to date - that is the question...

I'm really confused.  I just got a replacement Tour from Verizon.  On several occasions, when I am connected to Desktop Manager v5, a list of the updates appeared.  However, I didn't do the updates at this time. Now, when I log in, I get the message that I don't need updates.  The version on this phone is v4.7.1.40 (Platform 4.1.0.40).  Should I update?  If so, what is the best method to do so - since the Verizon site or the Blackberry site?  I'm a bit wary since the last time I did the update of the os, I almost lost everything on my phone.  So, I hope I have the last version/patch, etc...

Also, I have internet download manager, which includes my downloads.  Is that going to be a problem - not updated must be done via the Desktop Manager software?

Thank you.

Bifocals,

You have been very helpful once again.  I does not level up to what Verizon offers it or I'm having a problem making do if necessary.  Thanks for the useful JL-CMDR link - I'll upload that I do an upgrade my computer in the case.

I am a mental health professional and that you accept that Hamlet would be much better with the Blackberry - it's better than antidepressants.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not verify my blacberry id - enter the username associated with this phone - ARGH!

    I just got my blackberry a few days ago and it makes me nuts trying to get this set up. I'm pretty tech savy, but not when it comes to this phone.

    I created an account via blackberry, but then I could not for the life of me remember the password I put on it. So, which became a nightmare and I ended up deleting this account and set up a new through the computer.

    Now, every time I try and connect to this, as the app world to try to put things in place and not - I get the error message "enter the username associated with this smartphone.

    So I enter the new name of user and password I put in place and it works so of course I tried to get all blackberry programs set up on my computer and connect the phone to my computer - but my house is a deadband for cells - so I can't do set up because I can not access my "data plan" in my house.

    I recorded my phone, I have taken the battery all that fun stuff - but it's still not working! That makes me BONKERS - I can not set up email, bbm anything because I can't access my account - ARGH! I really hope that someone can help you.

    No doubt because I posted this - my friend that I couldn't reach finally called me and told me to do a security wipe and then start again. It WORKED! So if anyone has this problem, just try to do a wipe

    1. you noted in your profile here you have 'none' as a mobile operator or carrier, is this correct?

    2. did you delete the Vendor.xml from PC?

    Go to c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." (You might have another Vendor.xml file hiding on your computer.) Open Windows Explorer, and in organizing key (on Windows 7, there are similar tools for Vista and XP) click on 'folder and search options. On the display tab, make sure that your computer is configured to display the hidden files and folders. Once you have done this, look for your drive C:\ "Vendor.xml".)

    * Starting with later versions of the OS6, there are now three copies of the SELLER. XML
    C:\Program Files\Fichiers Research In Motion\AppLoader (for 32-bit Windows XP/Vista/7)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can not install Desktop Manager due to the DEP.

    BlackBerry users good day.

    I just of me a BlackBerry Storm 1 and I would like to install the Desktop Manager.

    I downloaded the installation from the website and tried to install it.

    At the beginning it goes well, that I start, select my country... but then...

    ... When I chose my country and I click then the installation hangs and I get the DEP error.

    I looked around these forums, but I am not getting any help.

    Could someone help me please?

    I'm pretty annoyed by this error.

    I hope to have a useful answer.

    Kind regards

    Jurrien van Rooij.

    Unfortunately not, as with most of the facilities of software, information must be written in some parts of the computer, such as the registry, and you can just use a USB flash drive to run your applications.

    This error is a Microsoft Windows error occurs when Windows detects code that is run from a protected location  At this point, Microsoft is your best bet for support as it is not an error of BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

  • Your smart phone BlackBerry Smartphones does not have system requirements that are needed to support the BB App World

    Hello

    My latest lamp died with a JVM. I just replaced today and I want to retrieve my downloaded applications. After I restored the device of BlackBerry Desktop, any of my downloaded apps are there. I have a brand new 9860, together running 7.1.  I run the App World. He told me to upgrade. When I followed the upgrades of the screen, I get an error message: notice: sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support the BB App World. I have a brand new phone has so first question... I can update App World on Wi - FI. or should I do my first phone company data Plan?

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not find any application that opens saved contacts

    I backed up my contacts from blackberry "BOLD" from my mac. They are saved in the folder my documents, although when I try to open the file I get an error message saying that I don't have an app to open the file. When I try to find an application to open the file such as Word doc, I got another message tells me that the file is corrupted and cannot be opened. What can I do to make sure that the contacts on the phone are actually in my mac?

    Yes, it's a backup file, in its own format, not something that you can open in your Mac. It is for the restoration of your contacts to your BlackBerry.

    If you want to view your contacts on the Mac, you have to 'sync' of your contact data to some Mac Organizer app like Entourage.

  • Visual Voicemail for blackBerry Smartphones does not sync/reconcile with notification of the icon

    new blackberry... have the 9630 Tour and am very happy so far but I have a few problems with the Visual Voicemail:

    (1) the e-mail inbox voice Visual doesn't save new voice messages... I have to constantly manually "resync mailbox," even if I wait 20-30 minutes for a voice message record once I get a standard notification

    2) once I have listen to Visual Voicemail and delete it, the notification on the homescreen icon do not reconcile that they were listened to... even if I listened to their Twitter.com.

    (3) I would prefer not to receive 3 a new VoiceMail notifications in my main Inbox... I get notification of 1) icon on the home screen, 2) of the "new voicemail" message and (when working) 3) of visual voicemail.  I looked but can't find how to set a preference to filter these redundant messages.

    any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    YES... Press the phone icon to get the phone, press the Menu, goto Options.  Select Call Logging, then choose 'None' will benefit more triple notifications, but missed calls still appears in the list of phone.

    With respect to the AVC and the Home icon reconcile... always disturbing.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can not create a BIS account - cause the PIN is already in use...

    Hello

    About 1 year ago, I bought a blackberry curve 8320 on ebay in Germany. Now, I wanted to register with the BIS (at Vodafone in Germay) he tells me that the phone (PIN) is already registered with the BIS. I tried to use the 'send password' link with my PIN code, but it didn't work out (the website says the password is sent successfully, but it does not reach my cell phone). Aftre I asked customer support for VOdafone and they said that the phone is not registered with Vodafone.

    Is there a chance to delete or change the old account on my PIN code? While I can sign up and get my own BIS?

    Thank you all in advance for the help!

    Welcome them

    Marc

    Call Vodafone and ask for help from the RIM. They can release the account (now that they may or may not, but that's another issue). Anyone else still essentially have this class as their PIN on their account. Its going to take some doing, but you can achieve.

  • A.99 blackBerry Smartphones or not... It's the?

    Should we even consider doing the version.99 for the storm?  I've had mine for only a short period and running le.75 it came with.  A Yes bugs and I must add that this is my 2nd storm.  The first one had serious defects.  If one were to take account of the new version of escape and met problems beyond la.75, could you come back to OEM, it came with.  Or you be stuck with a costly POS with a cancelled guarantee?  The reasons suggestions please.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    A leaked OS upgrade will not void your warranty.

    It will hinder your device to support Verizon, because they may not be familiar with the operating system.

    Yes you can return a.75 if the a.99 upgrade is not satisfactory.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones does not display missed calls if on the phone to someone else?

    My 9000 blcakberry tell me if I had a missed call, if I'm on the phone with someone else... can it be resolved?

    Thank you

    Firstly, you will need to inquire of your operator if you have the "Call waiting" feature, brought into service on your account.

    On your device, press the green line to enter the call log > Menu key > call waiting. What do you see here?

    On your camera too, always in the call log, press Menu > Call Logging > and see if the missed calls is checked. Do it and save.

    Hello world

    I have the following problem:

    After using my BB Pearl 9105 for almost 3 years, I can not connect to PC more (I still menu with choice of 3 options on my smartphone when I connect, but when I click on that option "usb" or "charge", the menu appears again).

    In addition, the PC does not recognize my smartphone as a usb device. Updated BlackBerry Desktop Software and the purchase of the new Micro-USB cable did not help.

    I can still load.

    In addition, make sure you use only the root USB ports... without hubs (sometimes the front-end ports are hubs... use a rear USB port). And don't forget to try to disable the USB power management in the configuration of your system (Device Manager).

    Check also on the incompatible software... it was reported that NTI Shadow Ninja & software can cause a conflict; Remove and reinstall the desktop software BB allows to install correctly.

    My apologies in advance if this is redundant - there is no way to be sure that if you have already seen and tried these. Also apologies if all are not currently available... RIM takes their monte and descends at will as they revise things.
