• New and very confused blackBerry smartphones

  well, I'm very new and very confused. I'm not savvy computer I should be too old, I guess.

  In any case, I recently bought a BB Storm, and then send it on a task in Alaska assignment where I can make cell phone calls, but not internet access on the phone.

  I want to download the latest software updates. As I don't have to pack the USB cord to connect the phone to my laptop, I suppose I could just move my card to my laptop and then media, but that has not worked. After messing around with it, now I can't access anything on my card press, photos, word files, nothing. I can move the files, photos, etc. back to map of support, but I can't access these files once the card in the phone?

  Any suggestions? Can I reformat the media card?

  1. do you cannot load an operating system of the press card.

  2. I suggest you a reformat of the card, since you have all the files on the PC that would lose?

• Confused BlackBerry Smartphones with Blackberry Storm Desktop Manager

  The Roxio program platform is really confusing me. I'm used to a Palm application and can't quite get the hang of this thing.

  My biggest problem is that I can't find a way to use my computer to add contacts instead of on the phone. This program is an application where you can use the laptop to add information and new contacts and then synchronize with the phone?

  I figured out how to add video (although its easier by using the mass media and simply drag / drop), add pictures and Itunes sync but contacts seem to be non-existent.

  As always, thanks in advance!

  the Palm is 'Connector PC' + 'PIM' (personal information manager)
  the RIM is just "PC connector.

  In addition to the Desktop Manager, you must use a PIM on your desktop. Best solutions are Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes. Both allow you to edit your contacts on your PC and then synchronize with your BlackBerry smartphone.

  or you can use GoogleMail contacts, with real-time wireless synchronization. This solution does not require a PC.

• On the Tower's confused blackBerry smartphones play videopodcasts

  Hope someone can help me.

  I'm not able to view a video podcast, to receive the error message:

  "unsupported media type: video/x-m4v".

  I tried this and other forums and I'm confused about the types of media supported, conversion, etc..

  I want to be able to view these by visualizing directly on my blackberry Tour, without going through my desktop and blackberry Desktop Manager.

  Thanks in advance.

  The app PodTrapper is expected to play a few for you. If you haven't yet, download the trial version and take it for a test run. I am able to play m4v on my Tour.

• Very disappointed blackBerry smartphones

  I would just post this phone was a fact from the outset.

  The list of the problems I've experienced with that contains some of the following:

  The fact that the phone freezes constantly and it is usually very slow.

  The ringtone goes off if you turn off the phone while meeting, you can't answer the call until the * bleep * thing starts ringing again.

  My sms alert tone has been butchered on a song, I tried everything to change. Restarting completely, everything.

  When you unholster it, it is not always unlock until you press the release button. Its too stuck. Then after you press the button it unlocks and then crashes again.

  That's all I remember off the top of my head. If anyone knows any patches, please give that advice.

  4.7.0.173 is that the most recent has officially released OS for the 9500... I suggest that install you. I have it on a 9500 and it works well.

• Scroll of blackBerry Smartphones are becoming very difficult to "BOLD" (with a pad, not a scroll wheel)

  Hello

  Scrolling became very difficult in my "BOLD", but it has a pad, not a scroll wheel, so I can't follow the spoken wheel and push solution previously in these forums.

  The symptoms are that it is difficult to get the cursor to move to the left or to the right or upwards or downwards, sometimes that it moves more easily than other times, but never as easy as it was until last week. What often happens is that I end up pressingteh pad too hard trying getting the top of the page to save the movement and thus itreads as a click instead.

  I tried to clean the buffer, cleaning of my thumb or finger, battery-out-restarted "BOLD" of countless times, tried with my fingers wet and dry...

  It seems that she has changed after an update has been downloaded, but maybe it's just my perception.

  In any case, what could be the problem and what is the solution please?

• BlackBerry Smartphones quite confused newbie with (iMac) & Blackberry Curve 8530 ordered

  Need to synchronize information on BB Curve 8530 with my iMac, Mobile me up and use to sync iPod Touch - questions are:

  1 can I disable MM before you install Blackberry software for Mac (Snow Leopard)?  I need to be able to sync contacts/address book, iCal with the new phone and am afraid of conflicts so I don't "disable Mobile Me.

  3. do I have on the right forum for these questions I changed my subscription and I am in the right but not sure, so pls be kind enough to redirect me...

  thx for your patience.

  Hello, petunia

  Before you install the BlackBerry Desktop Software I would recommend support to the top of your address book and iCal on your Mac. Do this please open your address book, and then select the file (in the top menu) > export > Address Book Archive, and then click Save and placed on the desktop. Let then open iCal and select file > export > iCal Archive and click Save to place them on the desktop as well.

  You are now ready to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager on your Mac. You don't need to disable mobile me to do this. After installation, restart your Mac and open the app to BlackBerry Desktop manager (it will be located in your main applications on the Mac folder). Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your smart phone BlackBerry for Mac.

  After the device is recognized and connected, you will have to configure synchronization settings. To do it please click on the items you want to synchronize under information and then select two way to sync with the calendar to sync or Sync Contacts(In the middle of the page). Once this operation is complete, you can go ahead and click the sync button located on the top right to start the synchronization process. During synchronization it will alert you that it's your first synchronization and it is recommended to replace the data on the BlackBerry smartphone. Please select this option to overwrite the data so that all the information of iMac you will be synchronized on your BlackBerry Smartphone.

  Once it is complete, you can eject your BlackBerry Smartphone by pressing the key of eject located in the lower right of the program.

  Thank you and you defenatly in the right place!

  Age of your device is not relevant. If your usage patterns consume a lot of resources, it's the situation. But I have no way of knowing what your habits are, so I can't guide you. Basically, however, you will need to find out what is 'normal' for your usage patterns and then only worry when things diverge significantly from that. If it means charge 3 times a day due to a very intense use, that's what it means.

  • KB14320 How to maximize space and power battery life on the BlackBerry smartphone
  • KB14213 Call logs, SMS text and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone

  It is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. On the contrary, to close an application, tap on and select 'Close' or 'Quit'... which force the application to be closed, freeing resources for your new use it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

  In addition, 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. Some have taken to do this on a regular basis as a preventive measure... some as often as once a day. Others got the app QuickPull to automate a simulated Batt Pull.

• BlackBerry smartphone Curve 9360 sometimes warms us up a little bit and the battery is discharged

  Hi, my blackberry 9360 is sometimes a really weird thing. Once a week, after that I used the device to check email, check facebook or even simply by removing the door in leather and put it right back it drains the battery at a very fast pace and hotter than usual. I'm not aware immediately, but when I use the unit 3 hours later for example the battery is almost all gone and the unit is warmer than usual. Please not that it is warmer, but at a level acceptable, just as if it had been used during this period of time, not overheating. I charge the unit and check the activity monitor application and the CPU was mainly used by the... Idle CPU. The part of the device that heats is not the battery, but the device itself. It is rather annoying because I don't know when it will happen again. The only email account, I have installed is a Hotmail account and it goes as well with wifi on and outside. Someone has an idea it might be? Thank you in advace for help. Best regards, Alexander

  Hello alexandrejv

  Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

  Are sure you you are in an area where you have a good network coverage signal strength or if falls frequently.

  While our BlackBerry devices can feel hot tell a long browsing session, play games, download countinous or all supported. If we hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will open a screen that will display all the programs running in the background, usually five will always be there (host, BBM, Message, phone, browser) you can always check if any other applications. run in the background.

  We should always try to close Applications correctly - avoid using key end to close the applications because it just minimizes the application and let it run in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select close or Exit to exit the application. Don't let your browser open when not in use. If programs are running in the background, it will also allow overheating and also to quick battery drainage. Please take a look at those Article I don't know that it will help you overcome your problems:

  KB14320 How to maximize the battery life and available memory on the BlackBerry smartphone. 

   

   KB31531 : BlackBerry Smartphone 7 may feel warm during operation

   

  But, if you feel that this device heats up more then average, then you should visit your service provider for assistance.

  I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you need to get in touch with your service provider and insist that they honor the formal support that they are contractually required to provide you with. Do not let you fob before having 100% solved the situation. If they tell you to contact RIM, don't let them not on the hook, then either... insist that they tell you exactly how you should contact RIM. If they say anything OTHER that they will increase you rim (for example, if they tell you to independently seek the support of the RIM), and then accept it. Only through an escalation of your service provider can you receive all official support from RIM.

  Looks like they have made significant changes to their network... and they must ensure that their paying customers will continue to receive the services that they pay.

  Good luck!

• Help of blackBerry Smartphones that apps on my Blackberry Curve 9360 were gone after complete wiping!

  I'm wiping yesterday and when I checked on my "device" option, the "battery" option was missing, where I can choose the level of my light screen. Another thing, it is that my 'analysis of the BB device' were like a stethoscope icon, but after you wipe, the icon changed into a black rectangle with a question in the middle of the matk. Whence this 'battery' device option missing? How do I get him back? If it cannot, how should I do if I want to put my light svcreen level? And I can delete this now rare device monitor 'BB' since I can't find the button Delete like other apps? HELPPPPPP! Thanks a lot for the answers!

  Hello!

  Based on your description, I would recommend a full reload of the operating system. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

  (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

  2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

  (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/software/desktop.html

  (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
  • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

  5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
  • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

  6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

  6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...
  • Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC.

  If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

  Note that all the apps add-on indeed went from the device... a WIPE is very obedient and removes the add-on apps. Reference:

  • Article ID: KB16307 Actions performed by the BlackBerry smartphone during the removal of the user stored and application data

  Good luck and let us know!

  I hope that this information will be useful to you. It can be frustrating, is the support model that has always existed for BB, and all parties (BB, carriers and even end users) are required to comply.

  See you soon and good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphones can not CONNECT to THE SERVER

  Hello need help. My Blackberry Curve 8520 (OS 5.0.0.1036) does not connect to the server. It shows my network (Vodafone) and gets a strong signal; makes and receives calls; connect wifi; but it is also completely static. After the first Setup email screen I get: your device has a connection to the server problm.  (I think it means the Blackberry server?)  So I can not connect any email.  Very well in my other near-identical Curve 8520 Sim Card work.  How can I do please?  Y at - it a reset or software update is complete I can undertake? Thank you, Michael

  I can help you with the it policy... lack of procedure for access to the BES server, this (and only this) cleanse a BB to an it policy:

  • Article ID: KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

  If you do a backup/restore, don't do this basically... rather, backup/restore only the databases specific you need (for example, calendar, contacts, messages, etc.) and more precisely to avoid data bases having something to with COMPUTER policy, business, etc.. If you restore those, the it policy will be conscientiously restored to the device, and you will be right where you are now.

  As for a BES Server trying to reach out... There is nothing that I can offer you. Your best bet is to talk to your provider and make sure you have no BES-level service enabled on your account of them. Who should (note 'should'... is there no guarantees) prevent a BES server to reach out and the reactivation of your device.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphones built by error media

  Hai, I am from Indonesia (I don't know if this help), I use 9810, a week ago I received a message 'built by mistake of the media' and asked if I want to fix, so I clicked on the button repair, and it worked, the integrated media has been recovered. But still, my bb has been frozen (the screen is frozen) so I removed the battery, and then I get the new message built by mistake of the media, so I clicked on the button repair, but this time I got a message that my integrated media required to put in shape. So I did the action of formatting, I lost my photos, my ringtones, etc, but even once, it went well. Until today, my 9810 got a little still frozen so I removed the battery and got the built in media error message again? Now I'm confused, I thought that the action of formatting solved my previous problem, but he'll be back once again? Can someone tell me what is happening? What should I do if the problem persists? I don't want to lose my photos, music etc all the time, can anyone help? Thank you before.
