• BlackBerry Smartphones used BB Curve, how to remove the previous E-mail addys

  Hello! I bought a used BB curve and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the e-mail address of owners at the previous address. When I compose a message he asks me what email I want to send from and he has my address and 2 of the former owners of e-mail addresses. When I look in different folders there only my email address listed to delete or change. Any ideas?

  To remove the previous owners email ID

  1. go to Options
  2. Advanced options
  3. Service books
  4. Highlight the E-mail ID that you want to remove
  5. Click on the Menu
  6. Select Remove

• BlackBerry Smartphones USE FOR CURVE 8520 WIFI

  I recently bought a blackberry curve 8520 with Fido. My phone is connected to my wifi at home, but I want to assure you that I'm strictly using data NOT wifi (because I don't have a data plan). I noticed that in a network public wifi, a red asterisk * - appears on the WiFi icon in the upper right of the phone. Like this:

  (the WiFi symbol is surrounded to demonstrate what I mean when I say WiFi symbol and the asterisk appeared like this)

  

  However on my home network, if it says it is connected, the asterisk does not appear. As you can see it it says "Fido-peanut" (my router name) which means that Yes, I'm "connected..." BUT without the red asterisk on the wifi symbol (with my home WiFi) does that mean that I am not connected correctly?  I called Fido and the CSR said she thinks she has something to do with login password in public WiFi, but she's not sure.

  The problem seems to be this: when I go on 'The Mobile Network Options' to activate ""data services ' OFF(to make sure that I am only using wifi and no data), the connection fails and I get this message: "

  

  

  

  When I turn it on, I am able to connect.

  

  

  For ""connection preference ": "

  what setting should I put if I don't want to use any WIFI data BUT?  Yes, the obvious answer would be to choose "WI - Fi" only, but this means that I won't be able to call/text because my mobile connection turns off.

  

  So, how can I make sure I'm really only using wifi and not data when both the data service is turned ON and my wifi is 'connected '?

  It is a list of what I've done:

  (1) the HOTSPOT USER - check.

  (2) insterted PIN provided by the phone to my dlink router (via online)

  (3) tried the push button configuration

  (4) restarted my router/modem

  5) there is a check mark next to the WiFi connection:

  

  It would seem that I am connected to Wifi, but again, to reiterate, that I would like to ask if the WiFi is the ONLY thing I use and not data.

  Thank you!

  It's pretty simple... IF you are connected to your network Mobile disabled (no phone calls or SMS) you will use ONLY WiFi. Only. As long as you have the 'white' dashboard and the name of the network "green peanut butter", you are connected to WiFi, but without BIS BlackBerry data services.

  If you disable Data Services, you will not be able to use data in any form (via WiFi or Mobile network, if it is enabled.)

  No BlackBerry data plan, you will be able to use the WiFi hotspot browser and some few third-party apps like Pandora radio.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using my curve as a Modem...

  Just, I got my curve about a week ago and was informed by the seller to alltel, I could download the software for my phone to use it as a modem, but now I can't get any support or help with this.  I am running Vista on my laptop and I need to do what I'll be traveling and going to college online.  Can someone tell me how do I contact someone or get some kind of help?  I would really appreciate it.  I'm about to throw the phone and cancel my travel plans.

  I can't give you an answer regarding where the software can be found. But, as a student who travels all week and has taken an online course or two, I can offer the folling tips: using the BB as a modem will work, but it is generally as fast as a dial-up line. It's perhaps not fast enough for some online courses, especially those who have streaming video conferences, for example. In addition, do research for essays to these slow speeds can be painfully slow and tedious. Although it is not as convenient (and more expensive), I had much better luck looking for good quality WiFi hotspots to take care of my work in the classroom. The extra time spent to find one will be partially offset by the opportunity to spend less time in line with the much faster connection. But, everyone has different needs and what works for me may not be better for someone else. Good luck with your studies.

• Blackberry Curve 8320 unlocked blackBerry smartphones

  Hello

  I have not actually bought my Blackberry yet, but I'm looking into it right now. I want to buy a unlocked Blackberry Curve 8320 which was previously on AT & T or T-mobile (I'm a couple more different). Anyway, I wanted to buy a Blackberry and place it on a data plan with Rogers Canada. I'm doing this because I want to be able to use BBM, so I think I need a data plan.

  I buy the Blackberry separately because I want to be able to use overseas when I use another GSM SIM card for example. I know doing it on contract is cheaper, but I don't want to do that because I will be locked on a 3 year contract and I won't be at the Canada for 3 years.

  I just want to know if the Rogers data network will work with a Blackberry unlocked as I described above. I asked Rogers customer service and they said that they cannot confirm that the Rogers data network will be to 'connect' with the unlocked Blackberry because it once belonged to another provider and I should buy a Blackberry from Rogers. I don't know if they just said that if I would buy the Blackberry from Rogers rather than elsewhere. I know the unlocked Blackberry should work fine with a regular for calls and SMS GSM SIM card and all that but I want to know specifically about BBM - ing.

  Sorry, my question is so long. Thanks a lot for your help!

  While Canadian companies may be different from their American counterarts I do not that the differences are only significant to materially affect my response.

  When you buy a 'new' locked onto a support device will be offered the device at a price at a price significantly lower than the retail price recommended for her.  That's what prescribed contractual lock in as they recover for the duration of the contract, the difference between what you pay and the cost.  They're subsidizing the price in order to collect a healthy monthly fees for access.

  All U.S. carriers require a data plan for smartphones in addition to any general "plans" for just minutes and text packages etc.  I guess that Canadian businesses require the same.

  In order to use BBM you need a dataplan carriers which is what allows your device use the features of the BIS (Blackberry Internet service) requiring Blackberry data push, e-mail, all what is "data".

  This is a new in the box device purchased by your friends at Rogers.  They sold you a Blackberry and they dance as they listen to the registry will chaching.  This is music to their ears.  This is an item being sold and it is "locked" to Rogers.  Of course, for each month of your servitude under contract happen to dance again once the Registry continues to provide them with more chaching.

  You bought a camera from them, you can use it at this stage only with them.  They will be as you might or might not be aware subject to various and assorted penalties if you tire of their service or their absence and take your business elsewhere, or try.  Costs of early termination can easily exceed your initial cost plus for a premium, in a credit institution, violating laws governing wear.

  It's what keeps dissatisfied customers even with the carriers that are less satisfactory.  It is just too expensive to leave while allowing some, but not all carriers for you 'sell' the balance of your contract to another.  If Rogers of permits that are unknown to me.

  If you buy an "unlocked" device it is expected of the band is compatible with Rogers (GSM/CDMA as the case may be) perfectly capable to be activated on their network.

  Their after-sales service is to use a euphemism, blowing smoke.  They know perfectly well that a device unlocked regardless of its origin.  They won't make you a device for which they do not receive rewarding chaching first and make run on their network.  Since you did not pay a subsidized price for the device that you are not obliged to a three-year plan or some length Rogers requires for locked for new devices.

  While they play stupid indeed hoping you will buy them and locked himself in a service contract.  It's guaranteed money for thirty-six months.  It's a lot of money.

  Assuming you get to admit only a 8320 unlocked (GSM) will play well with their network that you can buy a phone, monthly data on the plan without being locked in a period of time.

  You will absolutely need the dataplan however, at least the minimum plan they offer will prevent access to the services that make it a Blackberry.

  Of major importance for you in as long as purchaser of a used instrument is the only one not is indeed "unlocked" but the PIN was released by the former owner and the access to its carrier, T-Mobile or AT & T.  Every Blackberry is assigned a unique PIN that lives with her forever.  For example, if I want to sell my unlocked Blackberry Storm I will have to make arrangements for the release of the Verizon PIN so that a subsequent purchaser can activate the storm on Verizon (my service provider) or such that it is unlocked any service provider, as it really is a universal device capable of activation on a CDMA/GSM/UMTS network or Global.

  I would like to buy a used if and only if it is verifiable that the PIN was released by the previous owner/carrier.  With the instrument in hand, it can be checked on the device or not it is unlocked.  The output of the SPINDLE must be verified by the previous carrier and I'm too cynical, but I wouldn't take the word of the seller unless it was a very trustworthy family member and even then, I would like to politely ask for verification.

  Rogers wants money on your part.  They want the money upfront to sell you a Blackberry and they want the contract guaranteed money for the long term for the months down the line.  For Rogers, it's win/win.

  You can, even if it's an expensive to buy a new device of Rogers at the MSRP and not you will not lock in a three-year contract.  The majority of carriers who does not advertise that the difference is more than lost long-term do not lock you in their.

  I hope this helps.  If I appear cynical, it's because I am.  Carriers are there to increase their profits and integrity is lost in the maze.

• Button of browser blackBerry Smartphones No. on curve 9300?

  Hi all, my original BB curve 9300 was stolen - son he has liked it so much I bought another one from an Internet auction site. All was well until my son has noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said that everything was fine with his contract. They helped me through the access remote and backed up, then tried to restore and update all nothing done. The only thing they think is that it is a business phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they do not surf the net, so it is disabled. My question is, is that correct? Can do something to restore the navigation, or is it something else?
  Thanks Nicky

• BlackBerry Smartphones using the calendar/Agenda when you don't have a data plan.

  Hi all, I just got a BB Curve 9320 model to replace my LG dead.  I use the phone for my convenience only but I fondly I remember my old Palm Pilot and it's wonderful calendar application that allows me to keep track of my life and where I was supposed to be and when.  I had hoped that the curve would be able to do the same thing with its calendar function.  I thought that using the BB desktop and connect my laptop to enable them to communicate that I would have the same function, like the Palm Pilot has made in my previous life of the curve.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to operate than I had imagined... I do something bad or without the data plan is - it simply not possible?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  What is wrong is your waiting... what you expect is not a feature designed... a few things to discuss... so bear with me...

  Unlike other how things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  So, to do what you want requires the use of a desktop PIM for your data... Choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then, enter your data in the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

• BlackBerry Smartphones using Wi - Fi to connect to my email, web browser, the world ap and... Well well... everything? on my 8900

  Recently, I bought a Blackberry Curve 8900 with tmobile. Now, here's the thing, I don't have a data plan of any kind with tmobile. Then, when I bought the phone I have insterted my phone and it started. Checked with my seller to make sure he made a phone call... He did it. So I knew for sure my card SIM was working fine...

  Heres where it gets weird...

  When I got home, the first thing I did was to connect to my network wireless... using a Wi - Fi connection... obviously. And from there, I went to the Setup Wizard and went through each step. When I got to the part of the Email, he gave me two options, I do not remember the two, but one of them has been "put in place of the emails through blackberry enterprise server"... or something like that. I didn't know that I didn't have a data plan, so I clicked on the second option. I went through the process and EMAIL... by WIFI. I even sent my e-mail messages free to make sure that it worked and have evidence that I received email and Xavier sent to me and others! without a data plan!

  It's what I expected... I didn't know this wasn't supposed to happen? and that BlackBerry customers were able to get by email if they have a blackberry data plan?

  Well, naturally, I thought that everything else works on a wif... like the iphone connection. Even if you don't have the 3G data plan, you can always access web, email, and aps. Anways Yes, applications communicated with the wifi network and my browser web page views on a wireless network.

  Then my myfaves dissapeard and gave a script error or something java coding. Then what should I do? I called tmobile and spend hours of troubleshooting. Finally, I am able to restore or update my OS with a PC and recover my mfaves. But now my world ap ap does not start and tells me that I need a data plan... following its my browser telling me the same thing, but also facebook. I'm like what's happening? And then when I try to set up the email... There is only one option... and that's 'email through blackberry enterprise server installation "...

  So my question is... If you take the time to read this... Why in the world any order in collaboration with wi fi and out of nowhere asked me to use a blackberry data service plan?

  Because, without THE BlackBerry data Plan, you will be using your WiFi HotSpot browser, and that's all. No email, no features of data application RIM as AppWorld or the BlackBerry Facebook app.

  He worked first, because you probably remnant provisioning Service books from the former owner, I suppose (as you mentioned "checked with my salesman).

  For me, seems to be suspected of working as.

  Not quite, you must always have a data plan for the iPhone.

• BlackBerry Smartphones use Storm 2 as PDA WiFi-Connected (without telephone service)?

  RESOLVED:
  See the second post in this thread for the solution (thanks to wiggler forum member)

  ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

  [I know I am a "retarded" for even bringing this place, but we'll just go beyond the part and talk about what I really want to know here ]

  My wife and I went to an Android (Bionic) for me and an iPhone (4 s) for her. However, his old phone (Storm 2) has recently been replaced because his former 1 storm went wrong on her... and now, since my father thought finally get something to replace his old (not to mention, broken and unusable) Palm device, we thought we might as well give him the Storm 2 and see if it'll work out for what he wants.

  Here's the deal about my father and his PDA... already has a cell phone, so he won't move up to a smart phone, because he does not want to pay the extra money every month just to get a PDA phone when he probably never really use the data service much and all that.

  He wants a phone just to be a phone, and he also wants a PDA... just for the PDA part.

  So, I thought, very well... If he is not willing to move completely in the modern era, then we can at least give him something he can synchronize with Outlook (it works... I already tried) to have its calendar and contacts with him all the time (which it is not able to do with his simple mobile).

  So what I know is that it's possible, at least in a very limited sense... I have the Storm 2 sync with Outlook.
  However, here's my problem... for a reason, even if the wifi card appears to connect to the wifi here in their home access point, it is not actually get an IP address and can't get out on the internet with the browser integrated into all.

  My question is this...
  Is it because it is not possible (i.e. RIM has configured to disable the card wifi within the unit while there is no mobile phone service connected), or who should run, and I should watch more in the sense of something wrong at the level of the home network?

  The reason why I think that it could be something awkward like that within the device itself, it is my new Android and iPhone of the wife are able to connect to the network wireless home here very well.

  Sorry for such a long thing, goofy needs help, but I thought it is a good starting point. If anyone has ideas and is willing to help, please chime.

  p.s. I am a computer scientist. So I have that aspect covered... at least you do not work with a complete * beep * if you jump here.

  I thought about it. I did a search on google for the specific message I saw in 'wi - fi tools' (which was "no longer valid"ip address ") and found this thread...

• BlackBerry smartphones using T - Mobile Blackberry 9000 or 9700 in Europe

  Hello

  I have a Blackberry 9000 and 9700. Anyone know if I can use one of these phones (mainly for the BBM and emails, no voice service) in Europe (London and Venice, Italy)? I think that both phones are "unlocked." Just to be sure, is there a way to check if the phones are unlocked? Just buy a sim card when I get to Europe, if I can use my blackberry it? Thank you!

  If they are unlocked, you can use them with a card SIM buy you there. Please note that you will need to get 'The Plan data BlackBerry.' You must have the data, and a generic data plan isn't enough.

  To check if your phone is unlocked, go to Options, Advanced Options, SIM card. While on this screen, type MEPD (case sensitive) (you won't see anything while typing).

  On the screen that appears, you should see an entry for SIM card. If she says, people with disabilities, your phone is unlocked. If she activated, your phone is still blocked by your operator.

• Switching devices blackBerry Smartphones using the Desktop Manager

  I just got my Torch 9800 replacement since my first only the battery was drainning (apparently a common problem).

  Until I returned my old Torch 9800 I backed up and also used the device switch option in Desktop Manager. When it asked me to connect the new device, I unplugged the old camera, he took to the shop orange and then plugged my new camera.

  Then an error has occurred and asked me to update the software on the new device. I did it... and then when I use switching devices, it asks me to connect the current device but the problem is... I don't have the camera more.

  As I backed up all the data, I did a restore. He restored most of the data, but it has not restored my apps.

  Any idea on how I can do?

  I hope it is interesting all that.... and I get a better battery life this time!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Ah... never mind. While the device switch Wizard can indeed move a few apps, the backup/restore process does not have applications. So, in the State you are in, you must go to the source of your applications and re - get them. If you by AppWorld, the process is very smooth:

  • KB17625 How to install or transfer has already purchased apps from BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry smartphone

  If you have from other sources, then you should see if these sources are a simple way for you. I hope you have good record of all your activation keys... and some will indeed have to be regenerated some developers to attach the key on the BB SPINDLE, which is now different since you have a new device.

  Good luck!

• Unlocking blackBerry Smartphones 8830 World Edition GSM and code provider

  Hello

  I'm a guy unsavvy tech and have an 8830 World Edition phone. Bought this from Auntie Indicom (Vendor ID: 269), a CDMA operator which also provided a GSM SIM for only international roaming. Last month, number portability Mobile came into India, and I went to a GSM provider, Vodafone India. After the transfer of numbers, simply inserted the new Vodafone SIM and the phone and Blackberry services are working well with the new operator. Two questions:

  1. from the Options-> advanced-> SIM card Options, after typing MEPD, I see:

  ID: a large number

  Customization:

  Disabled SIM

  Active network

  Network subset disabled

  Service Provider disabled

  People with reduced mobility

  Does this mean that my Blackberry is locked? If Yes, is it blocked by Vodafone? Given that I have moved the Auntie service provider Vodafone and does not seem to wear the same number on the same phone, aunt locked the phone.

  2. type Alt-EACE, I always see the Vendor ID 269 (Auntie). See also the logo of Auntie initially upwards. Is it possible that I can change the ID of the seller or at least stop getting the start screen for the old vendor? This ID Vendo has something to do with the above-mentioned lock?

  Would be very grateful if some kind soul illuminates.

  Thank you

  There must be something different on a BB WE that allows the use of other SIMs, though always stuck at home carrier. Odd, but your experience proves the theory. I seriously doubt that release will make a difference, but certainly to try I guess.

  I don't know why your BB is as you describe... but, I want to propose the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried. However, you want to be careful here. I don't know how you originally got your BB running services on your current operator. All BB services are controlled by the Service books. If a carrier does not natively support a BB model on their network, there are a few things that need to be taken to get these SBs on than non-native BB. If only it had to do, don't go here... you could just wipe out all your services level of BB. But if none of these tricks are required (which would mean that your carrier supports natively your BB model), then you should be safe to go ahead.

  Steps 1 and 2 each should translate into a message to your BB to come:

  (1) registry HRT

  • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network

  (2) Service reference books

  • 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.

  Maybe it will make a difference. I really do not know about you, to be honest. It's a tricky business, and you can well serve just as well by getting a new BB you get from your carrier... which by the way, you would have at least that the formal support at your disposal channel.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphones using my Bold 9700 in Bangladesh

  Hey all. I'm writing this question here cause I remember someone asking a similar question. But unfortunately impossible to locate the post

  I'm moving to Bangladesh and wish to benefit from all the features of my "BOLD", I have to the United Kingdom. I already had my phone unlocked to be used on any network. Tells me that the largest supplier in Bangladesh is a Department of Telenor called GP. I have been in contact with GP customer service. They assure me if I subscribe to the "unlimited internet" for data and a monthly post pay / pay for voice calls, I'll be able to use all the services of my BB.

  I was wondering if someone could tell me how accurate is in fact? I suspect that I am not sure if BRI would actually work only with an internet package unlimited or not.

  The next question is about 3 G services. GP is not a 3G network and so the 3G of the bold features wouldn't work. In fact, I don't know what are these 3G capabilities? Anyone could shed some light in this?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Best regards

  Ashraf

  GrameenPhone offers BlackBerry services in sees (one of the regular users on the CIHI for Grameenphone works).  If you have an unlimited BlackBerry data plan, you will have access to the BIS network.  As for your question, about 3 G, 3 G only refer to data speeds.  So if you're in a 3G area, you will connect at a speed of 3G, but if you aren't, then you connect using EDGE.  This gives you all the data, but it's just a little slower than 3G.

  I hope this helps.

• BlackBerry smartphone messaging issue curve 9320

  Hi all!

  the e-mail on my 9320 function does not work correctly. I have correctly configured my gmail on mydevice account and I get emails and receive notifications when they arrive, HOWEVER...

  When I opened the email all I see is heading for the topic and who it is from, there is no message body. Looking back through my old emails, the only ones I have read completely are those that I received BlackBerry when I first set up my email confirming the installation. If I select answer or forward, it opens the E-mail project but then the email app is closed completely and I'm suddenly brought to my home screen.

  What I've tried so far:

  -Turning device and turn it on again

  -removal and setting up my email account once again

  -wear the device to where I bought it. they offered to download blackberrydesktop on my PC Manager and backup then restore my phone. I did it without a change in behavior from my blackberry

  Any help or advice is much appreciated

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

  1) register HRT

  • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
  • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

  2) Remove and return Service books

  • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
  • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
  • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
  • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

  3) restart

  • 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 configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you need to consider a full reload OS... to prepare, please visit link for Backup in my auto signature on this post.

  Good luck!
