Users of blackBerry Smartphones Rookie with Feedback

My new BlackBerry Pearl is a wonderful tool for my business - I am is more chained to my desktop and can receive my email, even when I'm at a client site! But I have one criticism which asked each cell phone, I've owned in the last 10 years, and is on the external control keys.

I wish manufacturers of cell phones would add some sort of option of locking for these buttons. Whenever I put my BlackBerry in my pocket, or voice Activator emits a sound, "say a command" repeatedly and without being asked, or the camera takes of many photos of the inside of my pocket, clogging my system memory to the point where I have not sufficient bandwidth to receive emails (Fortunately, I realized that is fast enough to receive a critical message in time). A toggle locking/unlocking, either as a programming mode or a simple hardware switch, could solve these problems and make me a very grateful and loyal customer. Heck, even a lightweight accessory that blocks the buttons (like the "ARO" on a sports bumper car) would do the trick. I thought about sticking band-AIDS on my phone, but I really don't want that he tainted nasty adhesive.

Anyone else out there being aggravated as I am?

Fantastic! Indirectly, it worked. By accessing the site you suggested, I found an even better solution. It actually * is * an option to choose which application these buttons control, including 'nothing. ' I chose 'nothing' with a big smile on my face - problem SOLVED!

    There are many ways to reset our password BlackBerry ID as well as to change or update the password for the username or email that we use for our BlackBerry ID however... If the user name or the email we use for your BlackBerry ID is invalid or is not accessible, then we're stuck!

    You can try to call your carrier to see if they can help you with this situation, if this fails, then there is no other choice, but you must create and use a new complete BlackBerry ID using a valid Email address. Refer to this help Knowledge Base:

    KB26694  :  How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet

    However... In doing so, you will lose access to any of your paid apps you've purchased from BlackBerry World.

    Good luck.

    How can a phone be a modem? I probably should, but I did not. I've seen it mentioned a couple of times on this forum and on crackberry forums. It's my first smartphone and my first blackberry. I love the phone, but I want to make sure that I explore its possibilities which is difficult when you're my age. Thank God for those who are younger, more technilogically well informed and are not afraid to share their knowledge with older, less competent souls like myself.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Strange beep/feedback type sound during calls - blackberry Curve 8300

    When I'm on the phone with someone - anyone, regardless of locaton - I hear BOUNCING "beep" sound on my end of the phone. These aren't sounds system or calendar alerts, they sound a bit like feedback or R2D2 sounds. They come and go, but sometimes they are totally boring. I asked the people, I don't know whether or not they can hear sounds, and they reported that they cannot.  I called Verizon and they said they had never heard of this problem before.

    Everyone knows this? Is there anything we can do about it?

    Sorry, Yes, I do understand, I posted the wrong link above.

  • Problem blackBerry Smartphones have with my BB 9900

    Hello

    If you can help me please I am owner of a blackberry since 2005, now I own bb bold 9900, and I have a problem.

    When I try to do a picture with the flashlight the phone restarts, if I make the photo without the flashlight, its ok, but with the flashlight, it's a problem, can you help me solve the problem?

    Thanks, Guy

    It looks like to of the LED high output intensity. It could very well be a battery problem, but if the problem persists with the connected device or with a different battery, it's most likely a bad flash led or an electrical problem on the motherboard.

  • URGENT blackBerry Smartphones: problems with name dialing

    Since the sync with my PC, my contacts list of 750 is visible until I have start typing letters to refine a search for a specific name, and then most of the names that should be visible to the search disappear? Only a small part of the 750 seem to be part of research when I type the letters to find names, I think related to the ones I edited on Outlook. Any help much appreciated. I checked the filter of address book, and I have no filters.

  • BlackBerry smartphone synchronization with Outlook calendar and remember more than 200...

    Since obtaining my Curve 8310 and synchronization with outlook calendar, whenever I re - synchronize my handheld device remembered only about 200 of my events 1000 + and offers to remove 800 + events to my outlook on the pc.

    It seems a bit ineffective design and more unlike blackberry. That's why I missed something somewhere, I'm sure...

    Can someone tell me where I'm likely to go wrong? I would be very grateful...

    PS. I recently upgraded to version 4.5 OS and synchronized with enthusiasm to see if it was a question... He seemed to remember data for day 1. But now I have to synchronize again today. Back to his old "do you want to remove any tips?'..."

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Outlook with a Blackberry E-mail on PC?

    Hello

    I was wondering if I could use my account vzw.blackberry.net on Outlook on my PC instead of always having to use the phone for my emails? I use VZW Access Manager for my attachment.  I was trying to undestand some of the offers bb saying can I use it as my messaging connector?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS with 160 characters...

    I would like to send a text message with more than 160 characters. He used to make me type everything I wanted and it would then divide into several text messages for me.  The setting has been changed accidentally, and I can't find out how to put it back.  I went through the manual and the Web site and can not find a thing!

    did you send SMS or MMS?
    What is your operator?

    in any case, I think you can try two things: the soft reboot, and if it does not, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can not lose data with these two reboots.

    Soft reboot:
    1) struck the following three keys at the same time:
    -Alt
    -Left shift
    -Remove
    (2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.

    Hard reboot:
    (1) your BlackBerry smart phone is on
    (2) remove the battery and wait a minute
    (3) replace the battery
    (4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.

    Please tell us if it works for you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Synching with Yahoo - password problems

    Hello

    I'm looking for help with a synchronization problem. I use an 8310. Windows Vista. Desktop Manager v 4.2.2.14.

    I'm going to synchronize. Get to a point where the connection fails, and he asks my Yahoo password. I enter, but he is not happy. The password is deifintely ok. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling different versions of Desktop Manager, but nothing helps. In the past, I had the problem, but it seemed to solve with uninstalling and reinstalling. However, who now does not work?

    What should do?

    What I have to do a complete uninstall - I see that it mentioned elsewhere?

    This is a very frustrating problem! Drives me crazy and preventing the use of my BB.

    I see also said elsewhere that a single don't use Media Manager - why is - this? Is there a good alternative out there to use for my BB as an MP3 player?

  • BlackBerry smartphones anyone with a Curve 8330 with 4.5 OS...

    I posted a question a few days ago, but got no response... I'll copy and paste it here.

    I've had my Blackberry 8330 for almost 2 weeks now.  While I really love most of the time, I have a problem a bit annoying.  When my phone rings and I hit the reply button, it automatically goes to the speaker for the first couple seconds.  It doesn't last long at all, and it goes straight to the regular speaker its own, without me having to do anything special.  The problem is that if there is a background noise on the end of the appellant, it blows through the very loud speaker and everyone around me can hear it as well.  This makes answering my phone a little embarrassing quiet mid-week.  Not to mention the fact that the time I forget what happens and press the answer right when the phone is in my ear, I'm jump by its very very hard.  Ouch.

    What I asked is now, how many of you with this same model and a 4.5 OS have this problem?  In the search for a solution online, I found that it is a fairly common problem and seems to be a bug with the 4.5 OS.  I had the opportunity to exchange it for a new curve, but it will have the same OS.  If this happens with all phones with this OS, there is really no need to trade me.

    Is there a new official OS 4.5 available?  I'm a little nervous about the upgrade anything like that me... Always seems to screw up these things.  If there are about 4.5 out there that aren't having this problem, I rather just share and try my luck there.

    Thanks in advance!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can with line within the list of Contacts (most of the time)

    Hello.

    My wife and I have all two storm with Verizon phones and I synced our contacts on two phones using Google Sync all contacts appear to be normal and functional.

    On her phone, when I'm inside the contact list and try to call a person from there, the phone screen opens but nothing happens.

    All of these steps produce this problem:

    -by selecting an entry in the contacts list and pressing the green button

    -opening of the contact first, by selecting a number (e.g. Mobile) and then pressing the green button

    -opening of the contact, select a number (e.g. Mobile) and using the menu button and "call Mobile".

    The only way it works is if I first enter the phone screen and choose the Contacts there - then it works.

    No idea what this can be?

    We talked to someone from Verizon, and they said that we had to hold the green button or the menu entry "Call Mobile" (etc.) for a period of time - never heard of this before and it didn't work ONCE - while remaining in the store...

    On my phone, everything works as you would expect, but I ran an update as soon as I got on the phone, so maybe that's why it works for me.

    On the other hand, this update wiped out all the information on my phone, and I had to download and configure everything again and install all the extra stuff from scratch, that's why I didn't run an update on the phone my wife again.

    Thus, a question is: if I create a backup with the Desktop Manager and then run an upgrade of the blackberry software, can I restore all settings and other programs downloaded with this backup?

    Thank you!

    No.... I'm on VZW and their current production OS (. 75) and numbering by any of the ways describe you works very well. Something is wrong with her camera... What is proposed is a refill of OS in an attempt to clear up the problem.

    But first... I have to ask, did you do a battery pop reboot? We know that these devices suffer from memory leaks and other, testify to the weird behaviors. 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.

    Just a thought...

  • BlackBerry Smartphones stuck with "1 new message '; can't find it

    Hello.

    I have my Blackberry 9650, an icon at the top of the phone advising me of a new message. (icon = envelope with a red star; a number 1 next to it)

    My inbox settings consist of a "Desktop" e-mail account and a type of message "SMS".

    When I click on the Blackberry icon, I have an icon marked ' (1) Messages ", an icon marked" Desktop (1) "and an icon marked"SMS ".

    When I open Messages, Desktop, or SMS icon, yet there is no new messages.

    I'm trying to get the Blackberry to recognize that there are no new messages.

    I selected the most recent email and "marked all prior electronic open."

    I also tried 'Balancing Now' and a reboot.

    Any ideas? or a way to compel this phantom message?

    Or a way to solve the logic to signal (n-1) of new messages?

    Thank you

    Open your Messages folder.  Press the menu button, and then select the display folder.  Scroll if these folders to find the message of thugs.  You should be able to find it in one of these folders.  When you find it, delete it then.

    If this isn't "appear in any of these files, do a battery pull.  With your phone, remove the battery and then replace it.

    I hope that helps you.
