    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If there is a latent policy, there is only one way to remove it... and while I can't tell exactly what you hear of "hard reboot", this probably isn't the appropriate method. To check, however, see this:

    • KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    And, even if it seems to result in a negative, there is perhaps a COMPUTER policy on board... 'stealth' rare, but they exist. To clean, you must do:

    Of course, remember to take a backup before and after restore... but do not make big.

On the contrary, only backup/restore these specific databases that need you, specifically avoiding those that relate to politics.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520 (call and network problems)

    Hello

    Recently, my BB Curve 8520 got damaged by water & with immediate support from a local vendor, it got fixed.

    Just after 2 days, it has some issues of appeal & off-grid chess. To validate the question with the handset, I checked the SIM card even with other mobile & it worked perfectly.

    Now,.

    Should I go to an authorized service center to solve this problem?

    (If Yes, then please suggest a BB in Vadodara official service center.)

    OR

    Do we not have an easy solution?

    Thank you

    Hi shahi_kailash

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Check here and locate the authorized Service Center near you, service centers for the BlackBerry Smartphones in India . But FYI as much as I know they will fix all the water damage to devices.

    You can contact any local Mobile repair shop and see what they can offer. But more often in a water damage repair BlackBerry smartphone will cost a lot and you can't guarantee that it will work perfectly over a long period, you may experience the same problem right now or a new. So I think better to buy a new device or an opportunity instead of this unit damaged by the water.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520 email settings out of box

    Configuration of e-mail.

    I recently bought a blackberry Curve 8520 and am unlocked, I had problems with installation - in my email.

    I should go to implement. Configuration wizard, click on send Setup.

    And only makes its appearance in my device that says: I want to use a professional email with blackberry enterprise server account.

    The e-mail settings: add more envelope account is missing!

    I activated my 100% fine host routing table, but I can't set up a personal e-mail, a company one.

    What and how do I do with it. I am brand new in BB.

    Any help much appreciated, thanks!

    Note:

    Some wireless service providers and third-party equipment manufacturers have processes called master reset, factory resetor master clear, which erases all the data and parameters for devices user non-BlackBerry carriers, restoring their to a 'factory' or 'out of box' State. The clear Pocket command performs this function even on a BlackBerry smartphone:

    Maybe I do it by mistake!

    Do you have BIS (Blackberry Internet Service) active on your account rather than BES (Blackberry Enterprise Service) - BIS is the customer service that allows you to add up to 10 personal email accounts.

    If in doubt call your carrier.

  • Director of office of blackBerry Smartphones and Curve 8330

    I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 for my curve. The installation went well, and after it backs up, the curve works correctly. I wonder, however, if the Desktop Manager saved e-mails, MMS and SMS messages in a file on my desktop that could be retrieved and read later if necessary. I heard this answered both ways so far: Yes it did, and no, it's not. No one knows what is the real answer?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Well, two answers could be correct according to what you were doing. If you performed the backup, and then he did. If you have not run the backup, then it does not. If you performed the backup, then a file with an extension of the RPI could be saved to your PC - search your entire hard drive for *.ipd and see what you find. To make a backup, follow these instructions:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 9300 white screen

    Hello

    My BB used to plant recently and does not start until I have remove and replace the battery, yesterday I was on a call when it crashed I have replaced the battery, but he would not return to the top!

    I read the previous posts however I could not find a solution, I know that this is not a screen problem because when I blace battery I get "Blackberry" and the loading bar, it loads for 2 ~ 3 seconds then the white screen, seen a lot of posts to check the application loader but I don't have it on my PC.

    My PC cannot connect to the device, I removed the battery and plugged to upgrade, but my BB is on the latest version.

    Help, please...

    OK... Thank you... but...

    I have not apploader on my PC if this is helpful to all.

    If you have installed, your PC, the desktop software and/or a bundle of BONES for your BB, then you apploader. Reference:

    But, to start your diagnostic efforts, I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    If there is no Safe Mode, I suggest that you test to see if your battery is causal. Please try this sequence... Note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must be directly connected to a charger checked (not PC USB, not a docking station):

    1. With battery, connect your BB to the wall charger
    2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not
    3. Remove the battery
    4. Wait 15 minutes
    5. Insert the battery
    6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not

    This has been known to "revive" some BBs.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem. Carefully note please that 'new' and 'know' are not necessarily the same things. Although rare, a 'new' battery could certainly be defective. On the contrary, the easiest (and cheapest, btw) method to perform this test is to find someone with an identical BB which has no problem... trade in batteries and see what happens.

    Otherwise, then you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS 'search for satellites... ". "questions about T - Mobile BB Curve 8900

    My wife and I had our 8900 s for 6 months.  All this time, the GPS worked so sporadically (works maybe 5% of the time) that we have renounced them.  I read all the posts on almost all forums, including this one.  I was on the phone with T-mobile for more than 2 hours - almost an hour of going out on my patio in 105 degree heat!  After going on all of the possible settings and reboot several times, the girl has finished telling me that it must be because the trees in my yard blocked the signal.  His only suggestion - call RIM.  What have I learned?

    1. I can't use my GPS inside to plan a trip. (roof and walls block signal)

    2. I can't use my GPS in the van to get to a place. (signal blocks of metal body)

    3. I can't use my GPS in a city to find an address. (buildings of great height-block signal)

    4. I can't use my GPS in the mountains to keep from getting lost. (trees and mountains block signal)

    5. If I am in the open field, GPS find signal about 5% of the time.

    6. I can't find the phone support for us peons.

    My brother, daughter, nephew, and everyone - make sure everyone - who has one phone other than a 8900 can get a signal just beside session from me.  My phone: 'search for satellites... ". »

    If a person tells me that I must be "outdoor" to use my GPS, I'm their Butterfly!  However, if you have a constructive suggestion, I'm all ears.  And before ask you, I have a data plan unlimited, and I tried with location helping the Endabled and people with disabilities.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS and the small speaker

    OK people, I know that out there, someone has a solution for this.  It seems so simple, but so far I didn't get a response.  Here's the situation.  It is difficult to hear GPS directions by the Blackberry Curve speaker.  I would like to send the directions to my bluetooth device or if it is completely impossible, voice instructions for my headphone plug.  I tried the two and no work - the sound contiues to get out of the enclosure.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I found the solution.  When I tried to make the GPS directions stronger, I pushed the speaker button.  Much to my surprise, he looked for the bluetooth device.  When I turned on my helmet, GPS voice instructions went directly to the headset.  It works very well.  The only problem is a slight delay.

    Problem solved. Now if someone could just find a way to get the sound of the Sprint TV to the bluetooth headset...

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    To use the exclusive services of BB (including the ability to Push email, BBM, etc), you must have an adequate data of your carrier plan. Carriers BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) host for their BB users. In general, BIS is not available through generic data plans. Several ships make stop what is needed the Blackberry data plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier that delivers BIS users of BB- contact them for assistance. Once you have an email Push-enabled compatible BIS data plan on your BB (fees regardless of your carrier will charge, btw), your exclusive services BB will work (for example, you will have personal/Internet Email added to the email Setup Wizard, your BBM will work, etc.).

    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans it is impossible to say that any plan service could actually expressly provide for. Only carriers can answer this question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you want and then talk to your carrier about obtaining a data plan that allows what you want (to them).

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520: Too many files by directory?

    Hello

    I recently bought a 16 GB micro-SD card and formatted for my BlackBerry Curve 8520 but when I try to copy all the contents of my file music (about 2000 files) on the map, my BlackBerry tells me that the card contains a few errors and I need to reformat. However, it works when I put only a small amount of files on the card (for example, 50 music files). Is there a way to fix this? Should I divide my music in different folders or something?
