• Switch to new device without old blackBerry Smartphones

  8330 keyboard my daughter stop working so we ordered a replacement Verizon 8830.  She had already saved the old phone so I downloaded the latest version of BB Desktop software on his computer and save the old phone in hopes of transferring its contacts to the new phone when it happened.

  Not knowing that the switch device Wizard requires you to have the phone connected to the computer to launch the device switch I sent the old phone to the carrier.

  Is it possible to transfer old contacts to the new phone without having to first fix the old phone?

  Thought I might get contacts save the file on the PC and drop it in the new phone backup folder and then synchronize hoping to fool the software?

  Or y at - it a way to take the backup of contacts file and export it to text so that I can download on Google contacts, and then save it to the new phone with Google Sync?

  Thanks for your help?

  Hello

  If you have already saved peripheral of your daughter, you can restore the data to the new.  Open the BlackBerry Desktop Software, connect the phone again, then under the device from the drop-down list (at the top left), select restore.  You can then navigate to where the previous backup file was preserved (as in your Documents or Documents folder > BlackBerry) and restore this file.

  I hope that helps!

• Decommissioning blackBerry smartphones phones 4 U 8520, can not find software Phones4U

  Like many people, I upgraded to OS 5 recently, and frankly it's terrible. I looked around, discovered how to upgrade, but couldn't find the right software, I need.

  I have a Blackberry Curve 8520, my network is Orange UK, so first I tried the software Orange UK from here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  But that did not work, so since Phones4U is not there, I tried the Carphone Warehouse Software (thought since they were not a network it can possibly use, but it does not).

  Y at - it one of those working with mature Phones4U?

  Uh, I'm sorry but YOU're wrong.  Only, you must delete the file vendor.xml on the pc after the installation of the OS and Loader.exe in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader allows to load any operating system on the device you want.  It is the most reliable way of loading the software of the device.

  In fact, here is a late version of the OS 4.6 that you can load to you, if you simply follow the instructions posted:

  http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-8500-series-discussion-Gemini/214971-OS-8520-4-6-1-470-4-6-1...

  or you can load the latest version 5.0 of this thread:

  http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-8500-series-discussion-Gemini/227461-latest-OS-8520-5-0-0-11...

  to upgrade a device just follow the instructions.  To downgrade, just remove all versions in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs later than the version that you want to downgrade to and run loader.exe again.   It's pretty simple, actually.

• Without backlight blackBerry smartphones...

  I spilled water on my phone yesterday and removed from said water as soon as possible. The phone was already on and never went. The screen blinked several times and I have taken out the battery as soon as possible and dried that never was wet. He really didn't get too wet. Everything works except the backlight.

  I know, now, that I should have never turned it back and should he put it in a bag of uncooked rice, disassembled, dry. Is it too late to dry, and is there a way to fix the backlight?

  Thank you.

  It's never too late to try to dry out completely, but yes, you might have been too anxious to rehabilitate the battey and ruined.

  Here are some additional tips for you: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F

  Bottom line - wait at least 5 days before inserting the battery again.

• BlackBerry Smartphones how can I do a factory reset without going into the blackberry software?

  Hello

  My Blackberry Curve 8520 I just "App Error 523".

  Whether the bust means that I have to do a FACTORY RESET, but I was wondering how to do this without using the Blackberry Desktop software?

  I wonder if the blue keys inside Blackberry anything on this subject.

  What blue keys inside?

  You'll need a Windows PC. Period.

  (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
  http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
  (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

  'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

  (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
  (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
  (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Congratulations! Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

  NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.

• An other 'Wifi without data plan"blackBerry smartphones Question - Rogers Canada

  Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and blackberries in general... Please bear with me.

  I am a student. Currently, I have a voice plan base on a LG Xenon with Rogers in the Canada. It includes minutes and unlimited texting. Enough for me.

  I am looking to buy a Blackberry Curve 3 G/9300 off someone. I just want to throw my SIM in there so I can use my normal plan with the phone. My understanding is that I can phone Rogers and tell them to block all data, if I get no charge on my Bill. Fine. However, I also understand that the 9300 is a wi - fi phone.

  Let's say that I get the 9300, contact Rogers and tell them to block all data on my plan.
  Can I still use my browser in a Wi - Fi hotspot? How should I do? (I know that I read somewhere that you need to configure to be about to access and not talkspot... If someone could help me with this that would be great).

  Also, I read that, so that I am still able to use a wi - fi connection, I need to have data 'on' in the phone. If the data is 'on' in the phone, but I've blocked data with Rogers, can I still use a wi - fi connection? This would prevent the costs of data on my Bill?

  In addition, I understand that I will not be able to receive multimedia messages without a data plan. Once again, if I'm in a wi - fi hotspot... Can I receive these messages from photos?

  I'm sure it's a question very well known and well hated to you all and I'm really sorry to ask, but I just need some clarification. I don't want to be stuck with a big Bill with I ever intend on paying data charges. If someone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you very much!

If the data is 'on' in the phone, but I've blocked data with Rogers, can I still use a wi - fi connection?

  In addition, I understand that I will not be able to receive multimedia messages without a data plan. Once again, if I'm in a wi - fi hotspot... Can I receive these messages from photos? No only simple navigation cannot be made and Pandora can be used in mode Wi - Fi.

• BlackBerry smartphones remove security settings of 8820 without access to PC

  I recently acquired a 8820, but I can't remove the security settings.  I'm currntly do not have access to a PC to connect the device to.  is there a way to delete the settings?  Thank you.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Exactly what 'security settings' you are asking about? Only these words, there are a lot of possibilities...

  My guess - if your BB has a policy due to have been associated with a BES environment

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

  and if you want that political removed, then see this KB:

  • KB14202 How to remove a policy from IT to a BlackBerry smartphone

  You will notice that methods 1, 2 and 3 require the admin BES to do something... If you are no longer associated with the BES, then these methods do not work, which leaves... method 4 not requiring connection to a PC.

  On the other hand, if I guessed wrong, then please specify exactly what 'Security Settings' you're curious about.

  Thank you and let us know!

• Curve Smartphones blackBerry without service Blackberry in Norway?

  Hello. It is a follow-up question to another post.

  I'm in Norway for 6 months. I have T-mobile USA with the Blackberry service that I intend to suspend this period of 6 months. The only provider of services of Blackberry in Norway (Trigcom) does not allow a 6 month subscription (1 year), do not know if others do.

  I was just wondering, if I have the telephone service by a telephone company with no Blackberry service, which features in my phone I have not will be able to use. I can survive without the push email service using Google's Gmail for this period. But I rely on web browsing, google chat, google maps and other services intensively. I also use T - mobile UMA much, which works very well at home. The phone itself is excellent, so I was hoping to just put a SIM card and use everything normally except for the push e-mail and UMA.

  Does anyone have experience with the help of a curve without Blackberry service while retaining all the features above? Ask yourself what to ask because I get a mobile service provider.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  without a BlackBerry service, you have GSM and edge (no EDGE).
  This means that you can do with your BlackBerry

  • phone calls (send & receive)
  • SMS (send & receive)
  • MMS (send & receive)
  • anything that requires no internet

  especially, no navigation available, unless you have a Wi - Fi connection on your device.

• 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...
  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/other-BlackBerry-smartphones/IP-address-no-longer-valid/TD-p/...

  The second post there (from wiggler), gave me the fix I need.
  Thank you!  :-)
