Update blackBerry "BOLD" Smartphones Q

I gave to my son my old "BOLD". It's been a while since the update.   I'm curious to know if this can be updated to 10?

In my view, there is an update that he wants to do, that will take me an hour. What is the update 10?  I don't want to update it and ruin the phone!  He'll kill me lol. Can I safely to this day and not mess up his info?

Thank you!

No older BlackBerry devices (compared to the OS 4 to 7) can be updated the current operating system of BlackBerry10.

The kernel is not possible, different OS and hardware.

  • BB in blackBerry bold Smartphones 9790 battery life and temperature

    I used Blackberry curve 8520 and not been disappointed until the 9790 bold. Within 5 days, the reduced 1 day-hours battery life.

    It's even worse

    1 when the battery life is less 65% is greater than the demand for phone on battery, it of performance and the heat of the battery up to a scary point and die faster.

    2 less than 65% the phone take charge and no is not controllable and crashed constantly.

    will you please reply as soon as possible because I'm afraid something will happen to me because of the temperature of the phone. I just bought the phone 5 days ago and I can't give it back to the supplier as I bought the UNITED Arab Emirates and now I am in Egypt

    There is obviously something weird going on inside your phone.

    Let's start with a battery pull.  Something in your operating system does not work correctly if a battery pull he must solve.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.

    If that does not improve the performance of your phone, it might be a good idea to reload the OS of your phone using BlackBerry Desktop Software.  You don't even have to load a new OS, sometimes just reload the same OS makes the turn.

    Try these suggestions and post back with your results.

  • Update blackBerry Storm Smartphones all saved Messages deleted

    The upgrade of the storm somehow deleted all my messages I had saved on my Storm.  My laptop using Vista and Outlook 2007.  I use my Blackberry for home use / ie not BES.  Is there anyway to restore these messages?

    If you updated through theDM, it must save and place the LoaderBackup.ipd file in the My Documents of the PC section.

    Look in My Documents for this file, it can look like this

  • BlackBerry charging pod for Blackberry "BOLD" smartphones

    Hello world

    I bougt garage a pod refill for my Blackberry on the fact that you can sync while charging. After connecting the pod to my data cable a put it on my phone, nothing has been recognized in my computer and the Desktop Manager has not found anything to synchronize. Charging works well, but how can I geht connection? Is there some additional drivers needed.

    Thank you for answer

    Greetings

    King_Carl!

    @King_Carl

    Hey Carl anyone who tells you that you can charge and sync at the same time has misinformed you. The standard OEM charging pod by RIM is that 'a charge pod' as you can see he uses contacts bit on the sides to charge your device, one is positive is negative. There is no additional connection allowing the data to be transferred back. Will need you a 2 extra to allow data - pins and +.

    Sorry that you have been misled, but the only data on the "BOLD" connection is via the USB port on the left side. not even after pod of the market will allow you to do so because there are no pins exposed to do with.

  • Updated blackBerry storm Smartphones and cannot re - install the guitar hero

    Hello

    I've recently updated my storm 9530 to OS la.122, but it appears that my applications were not saved.  I got most of them now reinstalled but my paid app one does not re - download.  I used the official RIM BlackBerry App World to buy Guitar Hero World Tour mobile and am able to see in 'My world' but when I try to reinstall I get an error saying "having connection problems to...» ".  It's weird because I managed to install a few free apps in App World, but only my paid app will not work.

    WTF?  I'm having fun with the game.  Now I can't get it.

    I don't think they can send an email the game like that. I'll reach out to you in a PM.

  • BlackBerry Bold smartphones 9790 not auto learning where similar emails must be deposited to the

    Hello

    According to one our BES users, its handset is not auto where similar messages (sender or object) must be submitted to learning.

    If for example, he received an email to his account [email protected] BES and then tabled in the Inbox Emails of John, his previous handset would remember this action. So the next time he would receive an email from [email protected]and then tried to move it to a folder, then combined would remember the previous action and view the folder Email from John, so it can efficiently produce its emails.

    This feature is described in detail here:

    http://CrackBerry.com/Managing-your-enterprise-Inbox-simplest-BlackBerry

    Please can you advise how to enable this feature on their handset, because now whenever he tries a default file email in the Inbox folder, regardless of the sender and the subject urgently.

    Restart the device seems to have solved this problem.

A few minutes after the screen illuminated by a battery with a dead battery icon in the Middle? I do not know. I've had the phone for about six months. If it's the battery, I wonder if it is under warranty. If it is not the battery, has anyone who encountered this?

    If the battery sign appears and then plug it into your cigarette lighter charger and charge the unit completely. It seems that your battery is discharged somewhat.

  • New blackBerry Bold Smartphones and the SMS Port problems

    I recently improved last night from my 9650 on Verizon, and whenever I do the discount to zero (battery and buttons) I get a pop up window that says SMS Port already in use.  This happens also with the card SIM do I do I wipe and finish then re-install at all?

    DJ

    It's a common error on the device who have installed more than one 'SMS port' asking to listen. Think of SmrtGuard, DexRex, PeekaWho, matrix of the alert, alert BlackBerry.

    Think, what applications did you use SMS messaging for a function?

    Here is some additional information.

  • Update blackBerry Curve smartphone 8520 OS 6?

    I was wondering if the OS6 is compatible with my curve? It no problem or slowing down my phone? I'm looking for themes and I want some that are compatible only with OS6.

    No I don't think it's compatible. Your phone is not enough built in memory to run it. Os5 is higher you can go I think. Perhaps someone who knows more will confirm.
