What is the best blackberry?

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:29:39 GMT

Well, Undoubtedly:

1.- Bold 9000: GPS, WiFi, 3G, 624 MHz processor, 128 MB in RAM... 1 Gb internal memory...

2.- Javelin 8900: I Love 3.2mp Camera.

3.- Curve 8520: Touch-sensitive optical trackpad it's better than Trackball navigation.

oo.- Storm 95xx: Sucks!

BBM barcode!

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:13:17 GMT

I just upgraded to the BBM 5.0 and I was checking out the barcode......What does that do? how does it work? I don't know anyone that has a blackberry, and it kinda sucks because it looks like it would be a great thing to have!

The new and improved BlackBerry Messenger is here!

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:33:03 GMT

Hi Everyone, the new BlackBerry Messenger is here! What's new? You can share videos and calendar events. Make a group (I have one called "Super Friends") so you can chat with multiple people. And of course what we've all been waiting for: barcodes. Now you don't need to tell people your pin, you can just have them scan your barcode.

What are you waiting for, download it here: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/3729

Introduce yourself

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:35:42 GMT

Since essentially we're new to this site, introduce yourself. I'm Brad, live in South Carolina. My username on Crackberry is Bradley1972. I work for VZW....tech support (take a deep breath before you either launch into me about us crippling features or how much we suck....lol). I use a Storm (again, another deep breath before telling me I'm behind the times and need to get a Tour) and don't have any problems with it.

Free BlackBerry Themes.

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:35:16 GMT

I've just begun making themes for the blackberry tour, and I must say that for a newbie, I've made some good 'ish. Shocked myself and a few people at the sprint store when I had my trackball replaced.

The only thing is I have to learn how to make the themes into an ota link.

Are any of you new theme makers?

Are any of you professional theme makers that can give us new jacks some advice?

How about, is there anybody that has some ideas of themes that would be worth having on your blackberry instead of some of these bogus themes that they actually charge us for?

Speak on it. lol

And also, was trying to download a video to my blackberry but failed...(the msg displayed is error reading the file). Anyone have any idea how to do it?

Adding BBM barcodes as profile picture

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:19:35 GMT

I’ve been noticing a lot of discussions about posting barcodes and thought it would be easier to share your barcode if you post it as your profile picture.

To get your barcode:
-      Make sure you have BBM 5.0
-      In the app, go into the MENU and click MYPROFILE
-      Scroll to the bottom and click DISPLAY MY BARCODE
-      Go in to the menu and slick SAVE BARCODE IMAGE
-      Wherever it is saved, go in that folder and email it to yourself and then save it to your desktop

To post your barcode as your profile pic:
-      In MyBlackBerry, click on your name in the top left hand corner
-      Under your profile pic (the large one) click ADD A PROFILE PICTURE OF YOURSELF
-      Click BROWSE and select the photo
-      Click SAVE

Then you can post it to this thread: http://my.blackberry.com/thread/1346

Hands free...it's the law!

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:52:57 GMT

In the province I live in, they are making cell phone usage while driving illegal very soon. I can see an influx of hands free accessories start to become really popular. BlackBerry came out with the visor mount (here is the video from the YouTube channel - http://bit.ly/visormount2)

Anyone else live in an area where it’s illegal to use a cell phone while driving? What do you do to keep safe?

MyBlackBerry Feature Requests

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:20:09 GMT

I thought I'd follow Kyle's lead and start a thread for things we'd like to see on MyBB! This is what set my mind in motion:

-- I like that you can set a profile photo, and choose between different avatars, but initially I didn't know the difference; I was frustrated that my intended image wasn't showing up, beaten out instead by a greyed-out silhouette. SO, maybe when adding a profile photo, there should be a link right beside saying 'make this your avatar?' or a clearer indication that your profile image will not be your avatar unless you so choose.

I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's it for now. Post your feature requests (lasers, perhaps?)!

Skype for blackberry

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:54:59 GMT

Blackberry has a $32 skype app

I phone has one for free and it works great. You can make all the long distance calls for free if you have the 2$/month North America skype package. You should be in wifi although.

Is there a better alternative for blackberry.

BBM -- tell us your thoughts!

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:09:47 GMT

Hey everyone,

Now that the BBM has been out for a while and we've all had a chance to play with it and learn all of the new features, I wanted to hear what you like about it? What feature do you use the most? (I went a little Group-Happy at the beginning, can't get enough of groups!)

How often do you use it? Do your friends or family use it too? Who do you talk to the most? The questions are endless, so just pour your heart out!

Cool BBM 5.0 Trick - Add homescreen icons for your favorite users

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:15:43 GMT

I just fell over this little feature. And it is really cool. (But bear in mind that I'm easily amused.)

With BBM open to your list of Contacts, highlight one, hit the Menu key, and select "Show in Home Screen". It puts the user's BBM icon into your Instant Messaging folder (on my device anyway). Which I then can move to my Home folder.

This lets you keep your frequently used contacts out in front. I did this for my wife. So if I want to message her, I just open her icon and I'm immediately in a chat with her. I also see the little notification star on her icon as well, when she replies to an IM.

It's pretty handy if you have some very frequent contacts you want to separate out from all the others. The icon on the desktop is neat too, if they have a display picture.

So it's pretty neat. Give it a try!

Get into the Holiday spirit!

BBM 5.0.0.33 Status Not Updating

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:06:05 GMT

Hello everyone!

First of all, i want to say nice forums! its the first time i have logged into these, and they seem much better than any of the other ones online! good job rim!

Anyways, im hoping someone can help me out.

I had a bb tour through telus. On the old bbm, (standard rim released one) i didnt have any issues updating my status. Even on the leaked bbm 5.0 i didnt have any issues. But now on .33 bbm my status WILL NOT update. I have tried everything! (updating OS, downgrading OS, removing bbm to old, then redownloading bbm ota, and restoring contacts (3 ways, remotely, from my local backup, and via dtm) no go, no matter what i have tried nothing will work.

So then, i get a new bb bold 9700... figure, you know what, im not going to restore my contacts. im just going to re add them all one by one, starting off with bbm 5.0.0.33 to see if this will clear any bugs, and hopefully let me update my status. while im adding people back (i get to about 30 contacts, and they can all see my status updates.. YES! I WIN! so i start re adding everyone .. (by everyone i mean approx 160 bbm contacts) so i get everyone back, didnt restore my old list at all, i re-added everyone ONE BY ONE. and guess what! now my status wont update again.. Thats just a few hours of my life i wont get back.. lol ....

Ive come to the conclusion that once you get above 70 contacts your status stops updating.

i have called Telus Tech Support, Fido Tech Support, Tried Posting it on a few other forums, and nothing. Please help!

Also, You can see im not the only person with this issue here or here!

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Blackberry Onyx 9700

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:54:25 GMT

Has anyone checked out the features of the 'about to be launched' BlackBerry 9700 otherwise as the 'Onyx' in the development ?

It looks awesome, and besides having WiFi (forgive me, I'm on the Telus network, and until they start their new network in November, there hasn't been any possibility to use that feature previously), it has a trackpad, and the resolution and camera is a huge extension of what the capabilities of all other BB's have done previously.

I'll be exchanging my current handset (BB Pearl 8230 Flip) to this new one when it arrives in a few weeks.............

Share your thoughts on this new addition to the BB family, the new Tour, and any other observations you have about your feelings about your handset...........

Cheers folks.........!

Phone as Modem - Sprint

Anyone having problems with the Tour trackball????? Solutions available.

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:07:31 GMT

So I've heard so many complaints on other forums and my own personal experience regarding the Tour trackball. It scrolls perfectly fine horizontally (up and down), but when scrolling vertically (left to right) you find yourself scrolling 15 or however many times before it moves one icon over or when it decides to move, it goes everywhere else besides where you want it to go. Also, while scrolling you can hear it scrapping against whatever it's scrapping against. I've also heard people complaining about the back door of the phone, but thats a minor issue that doesn't compromise the performance of the phone, get a nice little skin, clear snap on case, otterbox impact or defender and call it a day or even try that clear tape method that I'm sure you've read on.

I've noticed alot of people saying that they got a replacement tour if they were within their 30 days and the trackball worked perfectly fine at the normal 70/70 sensitivity. However, mine was on 70/90 and the dang thing still did what it wanted to do. Um, dude, I paid for you, you do what I tell you!!!!!

Others like myself and who knew better, listened stupidly to the stores rep telling them to just play with it more and send you on your way making you go past your 30 day. Then I found out another solution to this problem is changing the tour trackball to the curves trackball. I don't know what the difference is and couldn't care less, but whatever it is about the curves trackball worked perfectly fine with my tour since having it swapped. The only thing is, rim has not given the sales reps permission to open the Tours yet so its a risk if you allow the rep to open your phone. The tour has to be opened completely to have the trackball replaced/fixed unlike the curve where the trackball and just pop out from the front.

So, those are my two solutions to having your Tour trackball issues remedied.

Just in case someone wants to point out just going through insurance, well, not everyone wants to pay $100.00 for a refurbished phone when they purchased a brand new phone with a faulty manufacturer part. Not I said the cat.

Hope I helped someone, if anyone has any other solutions, please help out our Tour owners. Thanks ya'll

Is 5.0 for Curve 8310 a myth or reality?

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:55:53 GMT

I know that 5.0 is out there for new devices, but what about 5.0 for the Curve?

I bought my phone less than a year ago, and it's like my OS is already out dated, many apps are for the 5.0 and not the 4.5 that I'm running.

Will RIM ever make the 5.0 a reality for us?

Blackberry Freezing up

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:58:58 GMT

cant delete mail from mailbox after software update

myblackberry@rim.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:01:29 GMT

Prior to my software update last week, I was able to delete mail from handheld, handheld and mailbox, or cancel. After software update, I am no longer able to delete mail from mailbox. ONly option is to delete or cancel. When deleting, it just deletes mail from handheld, which is ok, but now I have to login to my mailbox and delete mail a second time. It was such a nice feature to be able to delete junkmail from my blackberry and mailbox in one click.

I also cannot reconcile from handheld to my mailbox. I can delete all prior on handheld but when I try to reconcile nothing happens. I can receive and send mail no problem. Seems like there needs to be a fix to the software update.

Is this a glitch in my phone or just part of the new blackberry software? I have sprint as carrier and am a new user to blackberry curve 8330.

thanks for any help with this.

Dual SIM Card

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:45:34 GMT

My son purchased a smartphone on the internet (made overseas) that had capability for dual SIM cards. It allowed him the ability to have 2 separate phone numbers but at 16 why would he need such a thing?!!?

I on the other hand need 2 numbers in one phone; one for work and one for personal use. I work in healthcare and my system will only support blackberry for corporate email. Problem is who wants to carry 2 phones and a pager 24/7?

Why can't Blackberry come up with a phone that will make it easy to support 2 numbers and separate personal from business? Will this option be available in the future?

GPS. I am looking for a free GPS app.

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:05:07 GMT

Does anyone know of a full, totally free, no charge GPS app. If it makes a difference, I have Verizonwireless. Also, don't laugh, but I have had this now, my Blackberry that is, for 4 days. Thanks. Any other suggestions that you want to say would be great also. Thanks all for your help.

Opera 5 Beta Browser Released

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:18:18 GMT

The beta Opera browser for BlackBerry has been released. It's a lot better than the default browser that comes with the Storm.

There have been reports that it does not work with the Storm but I have a Storm and find it works just fine. I'm running .167 OS and no problems. If you have some problems with it on whatever BB you have, try a battery pull first..it usually helps reset and it may fix things.

If you decide to d/l it, it may say that it has not been determined that it will work with your BB. Keep d/l it.

Here is the link to the Opera page.

Free Memory Issues

myblackberry@rim.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:26:59 GMT

I own a Curve 8320 and ever since i bought it my free memory drops to 0 like every two days or less causing my phone to erase data, which is pretty upsetting like erasing all of my blackberry messenger conversationns. With a battery pull reset i get back the 12Mb free memory (I can't get any higher than that), but it's starts falling down pretty much quickly until it reaches 0 back again. I don't want to do the battery pull once a day, it's annoying and i have to stop every process i'm running and that's not the point. Ihave friends who onw the exact model as mine and they don't have this problem, besides their free memory is around 20Mb. It drives me nuts! I don't have much apps, basically it's BBM, Documents to go, Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Ubertwitter, Google Maps, and basic stuff like core apps, system software, brickbreaker, bb maps, browser, phone, tasks, memopad, emaiol setup app, among others.

Having freezing problems? lock ups? hourglass?

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:20:52 GMT

Something that carriers fail to mention is that you have to close applications on most blackberry devices. Once you open an application on your blackberry simply pressing the "end" button or "red phone" button does not completely close the app!! You have to menu, select close to close the app thus freeing memory. Setting one of your side buttons to the application switcher will assist you in letting you know which applications are open. Thats it hope this was informative

Bad link on home page browser icon

I have an icon that looks just like the Browser icon on my home page. When you move over and highlight it, it has a title of NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile. When you select it the link tries to go out to a web link for "Agree" "I Don't Agree" to terms of softwarestore.sprint.com/ blah, blah, blah. It is a bad link and I just want to remove the icon. I have already removed the working copy of NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile and the icon did not get removed. Anyone know how to remove the broken and not needed icon from my home page?

Do you remember getting your first BlackBerry? Mine was the 950 (I know - that was back when they didn't even have phone capabilities!). We used to have competitions on who could type out and send "The quick brown fox jumps over the fence" the fastest. I don't remember if I won or not. But there weren't any applications back then, so we had to make our own fun.

Keep your trackball clean

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:57:04 GMT

I'm sure some of you know this and some don't so i'm going to share it with EVERYONE... I've found the best way to keep your track ball from sticking and jamming is to take a napkin, just a plain paper napkin, like you get at McDonald's and put one small drop of Purell hand cleaner on it and smooth out the Purell so it goes from a small little drop to a bigger thin puddle..... and rub down your trackball with the cleaner and rotate the ball in every direction making sure to get the cleaning agent on the trackball....

Sound Profile help on the Tour

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:12:43 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to configure my tour so that it will ring a certain way for callers within my contacts and use the active profile for those who are not. I have been searching all over the place online and stumbled on something called profile exeptions and it seems that would be my solution. However, that doesn't exist on the tour.

I found that I can set contact alerts per contact, but I have an issue with that, what if I want to be able to put the phone on vibrate mode in case I am in a meeting or something, then I would have to go in and reset the contact alert for every single individual in the contact alert list? It would be nice if I could just set a custom profile to the contact alert and just update the custom profile, but I don't think that is possible.

Anyone have a good solution for what I am trying to do?

Please help, I really like this phone.

Applications Update Question

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:24:44 GMT

So I upgraded my OS on the Storm to version 4.7.0.151 about a week ago, and today when I plugged in to sync I got a message that "Application Updates Available" for "Blackberry 4.7 Core Applications". I want to make sure that since the OS 151 is not official, is it going to mess me up if I do this core application upgrade? Can someone explain this to me?

MyBlackBerry is an App on Facebook

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:17:00 GMT

Why would we build a MyBlackBerry application on Facebook?

Because we wanted to make MyBlackBerry available in other networks too (bringing the community to you so that you don't actually have to go too far from where you're already hanging out online). You get everything there, that you get here: tips about your device, all of the discussions, plus some extra features that you would expect from Facebook (what your MyBlackBerry friends are up to, for example).

So if you prefer to pop in over there please do. Just click here. Fill in the field for username and your smartphone and voila!

Why just Facebook? We had to start somewhere. But it isn't the end. We will build in other places. Where do you think we should go next?

Sync-ing calendar items on two computers

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:51:37 GMT

Is anyone out there sync-ing the calendar items on their blackberry 8330 with two computers (home and work)?

I have been doing it for quite a while with minimal problems. For about the last six weeks it has been a nightmare. I have spent hours on the phone with blackberry support. They are great but don't seem to know what the problem is either.

I want to keep ALL of my calendar items. I don't want them being deleted after 60 or 90 days.

Any ideas?

replacing a screen 8330

myblackberry@rim.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 06:29:13 GMT

There seems to be two ways to do this according to the internet, but nonne of the sights are too clear on what way to use depending on model.

Does anyone know how to replace a screen on the curve 8330 model?

There seems to be the a) take the phone apart method and b) the pry the screen off method (which Im not sure would work for my phone)

Thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks

I don't want it out there anymore.

It's nice you've made it so my "username" shows in the threads now, instead of my real name.

But Google your real name, and guess what? There's your MyBlackBerry account and real name.

Is there any app/work-around that would help..( I've got like 4GB on my memory card just dying to be used!)

Inbox Icon

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:16:27 GMT

I just got a Blackberry and for the first few times I got a notification from facebook sent to my phone, it had a facebook icon next to it in my inbox. Now it shows up as an envelope as if it were an email. I purposely wanted it to be different because I must answer e-mails at all times and they are more important. Facebook notifications are not as important and I used to be able to tell the difference. How do i get the facebook icon to show up again in my inbox? Thank you!!!!!

iPhone for Telus and Bell Canada.....it's official

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:36:27 GMT

Well folks, greetings from north of the 49th parallel...........here in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada, the venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games..........

The official news today, is that to accompany the new network launch (HSPDA) by Bell Canada and Telus, both providers have announced that they will carry the iPhone starting in November.

Not that anyone in this forum cares, but what is important is that the new network provides the ability for these providers to now market BlackBerry devices which are GSM compatible..........like the upcoming 9700 which has already been confirmed as being in their respective inventories........

No pricing yet on iPhone or 9700, but as far as Apple is concerned, they are very restrictive with their distributors as to what they have to sell their units for, and what plans can accompany them. Analysts are saying that there will be little alteration to the price plans that are currently offered by the only iPhone carrier (again until next month), Rogers Communications.

I personally feel that the BB is already making gains far more than Apple has done over the past 12-18 months. Apple after all, has focussed and been reliant on the iPhone only........and yet BB has been developing new units regularly to serve the need for a greater number of groups........after all, not everyone needs access to 2,000 Apps right ?

Hope everyone is well...........

Stay safe..............and keep on Blackberryin',,,,!!

Do all Blackberry devices "bog down" and have to be "rebooted"?

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:27:54 GMT

I have had my Storm for six weeks now and my housemate has had his going on nine months and we just wondered if there is a software that keeps the Storm from hanging up when you are in an application and requiring you to do a battery pull. A friend of ours has the iPhone and he says he never has that problem. Are all Blackberry devices like that or is this indiginous to just the Storm?

PowerMat! Has anyone tried it?

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:59:22 GMT

In my house we have:

3 Ipods
Tons of electronics

Would this be a good purchase for our family? It seems very expensive.Can anyone tell me more about this? I think it would be a great thing to have to lose some of the cords laying around the house!

Pearl Flip is the Worst

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 03:24:40 GMT

Im sad to say that I brought the Pearl flip. I had nothing but headaches with this phone. It shuts off randomly, its very sluggish especially when I run multiple apps. Im on my third one and TMobile just keep sending me one after the other. I spoke to Blackberry customer care and I was told I needed the Curve II something with a faster processor. Has anybody experienced this many problems with their flip or any other blackberry. I would buy another blackberry. Although my first experience was not good, I have gotten hooked to it. I love that I can listen to my radio app, use the instant messenger and look up things on the web. Thats hot! I tried doing the same with my friends Iphone and it didnt work and now he is looking into getting a blackberry.

Can I store downloaded apps on the SD memory card

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:43:43 GMT

I noticed on the latest pomotion of the current BB World Store software that downloaded apps will be stored on the SD memory card when the phone's internal memory reaches a point where there is no room for the new apps. Is there a way to store all the apps on the memory card so they can be easily transported to differenct BB phones that I have (assuming of course the apps will work on the other phone's OS).

Change of the "Similar People".......

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 03:10:42 GMT

So I am not a huge programmer, but I have a feeling that this wouldn't be to hard to accomplish......

The "Similar People" section on our profile shows me people that haven't even logged into the site for the past 3 months. I was thinking of maybe having an algorithm that could read our posts and recommend people that are common commenters on our posts. I hope I explained that good enough for someone who would be able to do that could understand!

Just relaying some tips from Shahzoor Ali since he seems to be in the 'land that time forgot' as he cannot get online to post himself. he sent tip via P2P (something i hadn't heard about till then)

Anyway, here is the TIP:

"When you are on a voice call, your data will be on pause. During this time you cannot recieve or send IMS, PIN, mails.

If your GPS is on when voice call is active, then data doesnt stop!"

love the new Blackberry manager for mac

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:28:23 GMT

I spent months waiting for this manager for Apple (mac). Today was the day that It all happen for me, now I can update for Blackberry Bold finally.

Just got a Bold - First impressions

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:50:42 GMT

I've been using BB's since 2001 and the Bold is my 5th RIM device. Previously I have used d a 957, 7100g, 7290, and 8700c .

All in all I'm fairly impressed. The Bold is definitely the best BB I've ever used. The things they got right, they got very right. Still, there are some annoying issues carried over from past generations. Also, it's not revolutionary, rather a logical evolution of previous QWERTY candybar Blackberries.

- Great form factor. Good size and solidly built. The rounded back edges make it feel even sleeker. The leatherette back is a stroke of genius - non-slip and no more fretting over scratching the finish.
- Best mobile device screen I've ever seen! A joy to look at, crystal clear and bright. Very easy to read small text, even in direct sunlight.
-Best mobile device speakerphone I've ever heard. Wow! This was the most surprising thing to me. Loud and clear and even has a little bass to it.
- Trackball is still a bit wonky. It's still imprecise and cheap feeling. I had hope RIM would have this perfected by now.
- Battery life stinks compared to previous models. I can go a day of solid use, but that's about it. This is on par with other current gen smartphones, but still a little disappointing.
- 3G is a bit slow and flaky. Looses data connection from time to time and drops to Edge and even GSM. This isn't an AT&T network issue as an iPhone at the same location is much more reliable (in terms of data connectivity at least).

- Ironically named "Convenience" keys are poorly placed. These should be at the top of the sides, not the middle. Trying to use the Bold one handed is cramp inducing, almost like playing Guitar Hero.

BBM status not updating

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:34:04 GMT

Has anyone had issue with their BBM status not updating? I have tried just about everything; updating OS, downgrading OS, removing bbm to old, then redownloading bbm ota, and restoring contacts (3 ways: remotely, from my local backup, and via dtm) Does anyone have a solution for this?

I Hope RIM Does Not Do This!

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:49:16 GMT

Please do not integrate SMS with BBM together. There has been numerous negative feedback about this feature on various Blackberry forums. Personally I don't like the idea because it can be confusing.

I would hate it if my BBM icon notification would go off and I wouldn't know if it's a text or BBM message.

Just like when emails and text messages were integrated together with the messages icon, I wouldn't know if it's a work email or a personal text message. It was confusing going down the message list to differentiate which message is a text and which are emails. Thank god text and emails are now separated on all new phones.

For future reference, when OS 5 officially releases and had SMS and BBM together, I'm not going to be one happy camper.

I own a BLk Tour 9630. I have taken pictues and want to upload them to FB. They will not upload. I go to FB and there is a red "X" stating upload failed. Here is what I'm doing. I take a picture. I then go into the menu and the Media icon. I go to pictures - all pictures, I see the picture I want to upload and highlight it so now I see it on the full screen. From here I hit menu again and scroll to "send to facebook", I put a caption on the picture , album "Mobile uploads" then I go to "upload" it says Uploading photo then clears off leaving my picture and me with the impression that it has been sent. When I go to my FB page ther is the infamous red "X" stating there was an error upoloading my photo. What is up? I took it to Verizon and they said I'd need to contact FB because they are an outside vendor. I'm getting frustrated, please help.

Blackberry desktop manager for Mac iCal sync issues

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:49:21 GMT

I have just installed the Blackberry desktop manager for Mac and eventhough I have my calendar settings on my device to keep appointments forever, it wants to delete many appointments every time I try to sync. Please help. I have never had these issues with Pocket Mac and am considering switching back.

Any thoughts?

Also I have my settings on the desktop manager set to all events, and when I put it to even future events it still wants to delete 5% of my appointments on my computer. I checked my iCal settings too but nothing jumps out at me.

Thank you!

Updating and removing of applications in BB Curve 8900

Hi all users and abusers of BB! Just a simple question here. Hope some kind soul can help me here.

Been trying to remove applications and updating the device software of my BB curve 8900 but every time the same message props up at the end of the "update" -> A fatal error has occurred while trying to update your device. Please try again later.

I've been trying again and again for several times but the same message appears. I didn't experience such situation when I was still using the old BB Curve 8320. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Because its more than BOLD!! - by MaysBerry

Remember the days of flinstone like scrollwheels? Lawyers and bigwigs running around with a breif case and a Blackberry? In those days I worked for sprint and was the quickest to reccomend the latest trio device sporting windows before a caveman like Blackberry. in the later years we came so far and I overcame my biased mindset when my new boss at T-mobile handed me a 8100. I experienced a Crackberry for the 1st time and after trading up to a 8320 I have been in love ever since. Now present date we stare at steamy screenshots and drool over glitchy OS 5.0's on our pocket abusing Bolds and sleek sexy 3g less 8900's. Then watch in disdain as RIM fails with a touchscreen device and scrolling through our limited browser we realize we can no longer scroll up due to bbq sauce in the trackball (darn hooters!!). When "BOLD II" 1st danced into my ears I laughed and recalled a flashback of a head to head browser speed battle my 8900 to Edgard's Bold and how I loaded UFC.com a full 5 seconds before his "3g" blackberry. I'm sorry I digress, could you imagine a Crackberry that can call over wi-fi because your 3g coverage doesnt reach into the building your in? how'bout Making a call to confirm the date tonight while plugging the venue into google maps to check out reviews on the place? Possibility. Howbout dropping your new phone with a Hi-Res screen while taking strides across the dancefloor and not worrying that your screen is gonna be cracked? and the before mentioned trip to hooters not ruining your scrolling to bbm to scan her pin into your messenger list when the cute waitress whips out last years CB to check the time for you. CB 9700 one way or another I will own you, processor speed of a dream machine, screen resolution of a blu-ray movie, barry sanders like manuverability through the vast incredible world of a soon available OS 5.0 because of your futeristic track-pad, wi-fi calling for that extra bar of gsm because 3g is not always strong as I need, and keys that can dance with my big fingers so I dont have to let my thumbnails grow extra long. This is turning into an essay but since I lost my 8900 on halloween this 8100 is really making you shine like no other phone has before. Im sorry I even thought about Fandroid. You wont force close the pandora app..you have so much memory I can run my telenav to get where I want, while pandora to listen to what I want, with bbm to talk to who I want, without the loading interuption that I dont want. More than Bold CB or nada

I just found the best site ever (atleast I think it is) for replacement parts!!

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:39:11 GMT

http://www.fonlogix.us/blackberry-pearl-8110-8120-8130-cell-phone-replacement-parts.html

Has pretty much all of the replacement parts and tools that you could ever need and they seem very decently priced. The Pearl 8110 is super easy to take apart and put back together, they have instructional videos.

Housing, various colored trackballs (for those of you that want to change your trackball color-even has has various colored trackball rings), also, two different colored side bars-chrome and silver. I dropped my brand new Sandstone Pearl, the one with the pink henna for the first time tonight and got the tiniest nick in the front housing and the chrome part at the top and I am so OCD with things like that so, I immediately started searching for replacement covers and this site was the only one that I found that had the henna and sandstone housing. It has replacements for other BlackBerry models as well.

Blackberry.com what do we think of the site?

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:54:44 GMT

I am new to the BB world, also this site just like you guys and I was wondering what everyone thought of the site?

Thanks........

CNN Mobile DOA

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:13:13 GMT

After downloading and installing the v5.0.0.328 software on my Storm, all of the thrid party applications worked as before except one--CNN Mobile for BlackBerry. When I tried to access the app, an error msg popped up saying "The protocol specified is not supported by the handheld. Please try a different URL."

Verizon support at first said they don't support third party apps. Then when I stopped into a store, the Verizon tech said he would replace my Storm with another with the software upgrade installed. Downloaded CNN Mobile app on the replacement device and received the same error msg.

Any others experiencing similar issues with this app?

Bell / Telus new network official........

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:23:34 GMT

Well fellow BB users (even if there are a couple of vocal individuals out there that are frustrated with some of their concerns, but will, I'll wager, be real 'believers' in a short amount of time) some of you will have already learned that Bell Canada (BCE) and Telus, two of the major three wireless providers here in Canada, are about to convert to their new HSPA network in November.

There's already rumour of some upcoming announcement this week about a venture with Apple to launch the ability to purchase and use the iPhone on either Bell or Telus starting before the end of the year. The only carrier here that has the iPhone capability right now is Rogers Communications, although Globealive (the "Wind" network) is hoping to launch prior to 2010, although they are getting some resistance from the rest of the Canadian carriers.

Just wanted to keep you guys up to date in the event you haven't had the opportunity to get the information so far................and oh,

the Blackberry 9700 with a trackpad and not a trackball has already been spotted in the Bell Mobility inventory......likely to be announced and launched at the same time the new network becomes available to all.........

Ciao for now........and stay tuned.............

BBM is there a way to ?

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:44:48 GMT

Hello,

I wanted to ask 2 questions regarding BBM. The 1st one is there away to let one of your contacts think you can not be reached by making it set to UNREACHABLE if so how do you do it?

The next one is if your trying to send a message to a a contact and you seem to get BUSY a lot for there status could this be because the phone is in the holster?

Thanks

How can I minimize app drain on my storm battery

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:46:29 GMT

I am experiencing continuing fast battery drain on my BB Storm, even after I have turned off the radio, and GPS and data functions before turning the phone off. It appears that the apps I have downloaded on the phone are draining the battery life much faster than normal drain. This does not happen nearly as much on an iPhone. I have two questions for the blog:

1) Is there a way to turn off the apps from draining the battery when they are not in use (I do understand that deleting the apps will probably cure the problem, but then that's not the idea for having apps on the phone);

2) Is there a function on the phone or a tool that I can use to identify how much battery time/energy is being consumed by each app so I can decide which ones to delete if they are the biggest drains and are not frequently being used.

Thank you for your advice and recommendations.

BlackBerry Tour (VZW) Shipping July 12: Anyone Switching from GSM Carrier?

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:48:58 GMT

Verizon has confirmed that the BlackBerry Tour 9630 will ship on July 12. It's available for pre-order right now.

I'm curious: Is anyone who's currently on a GSM carrier switching over to either Verizon or Sprint for the Tour? I can't imagine that many folks with AT&T or T-Mo would leave just for the Tour, since the Onyx, which seems to be a superior device, is coming in the "near future." Thoughts?

BB Curve 8320 serious problem

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:28:21 GMT

I got a Curve 8320 besides Bold and weird things happening with the curve since a month. It keeps shutting down and wont restart until I do battery pull or put it on charge just for a sec. I did upgrade the OS, downgraded too, screwed BB, wiped thru JL_Cmder, nothing helped.

When does it shuts down?

It shuts if I start without inserting a SIM card too. It shuts down after WiFi or Bluetooth is switched ON and cannot be on voice call more than 10secs.

any help?

Facebook Help...Please?!?!?

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:20:41 GMT

OK. I have read a bunch of different posts, but no one ever really gives "instruction" on how to do the things they say to do. Here is my problem. I have facebook on my blackberry (which I like). But, I would like to block certain wall posts/status updates. In facebook (online) I have figured out that I can "hide" certain people so that I do not see all the news and updates from them. This does not transfer over into the blackberry facebook app.

So, in a nutshell, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I have a whole group of people on my facebook that are specifically for the games on facebook. I have them in their own group. I have hidden their posts, because I just don't need updates from 400+ people that I don't know. The only info and feeds I want to see are my "actual" friends. How can I hide that group of people from my notifications/wall posts/updates on my blackberry version of facebook.

I have read different posts to say to make that person to not receive news feeds, but where do you do that? the only way I have found is to hide them once a post shows up. This has worked great for facebook online but doesn't work for blackberry facebook.

Sorry for the long message, but I really would like to resolve this issue. It is driving me crazy that I can never see the posts I want.

Thanks to whomever can help!!!

Stoma 9530 icon...

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:48:07 GMT

I have a Storm 9530. On my screen, I have an icon that the number 1 to the left of it, a circle with an arrow pointing from the top right to the bottom left. The arrow head is in the center of the circle and a small asterisk in a red circle next to it. I have updated everything that I can find and checked for an operating system update. The only asterisks that I can find are by Yahoo messenger and Windows Live Messenger, neither of which I want. Is there a way to remove the icon or do I have to download these apps and then remove them?

Hey all, Im struggling a bit. I have a Verizon Wireless, Pearl that I have the mobile app running perfectly. When working from the Blackberry App, I click "options", then try to change my current associated email on Facebook (gmail account) to my vzw.blackberry email. When in settings I attempt to change my current email (again, a gmail accnt) to my blackberry email it responds that a link has been sent to that email (blackberry email)> upon opening the link from my Pearl handset, it redirects to me open a new Facebook account. There is no way to "verify" the email add, so when I attempt to "run setup wizard" from my mobile app and sync my Facebook contats with my phone address book it says I need to register my blackberry email . Im stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks all.

2 quick problems

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:43:09 GMT

Hi everyone. I just got Storm 2 and love it. But there just a couple small things with it that bug me.

1. LED does not flash alerts for incoming emails, SMS or phone calls. I have it set to normal yet nothing.

2. 3rd party apps. disappear after downloading. For example I've been trying to put Google Maps on it. When download is complete, I will switch to downloads or application center folder to create a folder to move it home screen. It is nowhere to be found. When I try to install it again, I get a message that app already exists, so I know it's somewhere on that phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Weird Storm Background Problem

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:58:08 GMT

So every now and then I get a flash of what I believe is the default background image for my Storm...a picture of a lightning bolt. It's weird because I changed the background, but every now and then when it's changing applications or just booting up, for just a split second I'll see that background - it's super quick. What's also annoying is that I can't find that picture anywhere on my Storm to delete it!! Anyone have suggestions/ideas on how to get rid of this??

cannot delete emails,lost bbm, and all of my numbers with new os!!!

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:46:17 GMT

upgraded to the new os less then 10 minutes after if came out, lost my bbm and my emails will not delete from the inbox on my phone, i have tried everything from restarting my phone and removing the battery dozens of times to calling technical support to which no surprise no help..... And im not going to get started about having to do all this on my sisters pc because apparently it is to hard for rim to write a desktop manager program that works on a mac, lost all of my 300 and some phone numbers and email address, that also is not counting the bbm that i had people i would talk to in that exclusively. So as much as i hate to say it i am very disappointed that i am stuck with verizon cause of work related issues cause after all of the problems it makes me miss my iphone and is seriously making me consider switching to droid, so if anyone can help me resolve some of my issues to keep me with a phone that i have grown to love your help would be greatly appreciated.

New phone, broken screen!

myblackberry@rim.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:31:02 GMT

My husband has had his BB for 4 days and one minute it was fine and the next minute the screen looked like a defrag screen on a pc. Took it to Sprint and they said it has to be replaced - $100 deductible, etc. Anyone else have this problem? Is there anything else to do but replace the phone? I just can't believe it's so sensitive that it became damaged sitting on the table!

Address book utility?

SYNC - Outlook and FB Pics & Phone Contacts

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:22:17 GMT

Hi,

1) I need help in synchronizing my Outlook Express with my Bold. For some reason, I did add my email id on the phone's email setup (thru service provider's link), however I am unable to receive or send any mails on my phone. Although OE on my home PC is working fine.

2) When I sync'd my contacts with FB's phone contacts and pictures (thumbnails), the Picture shown is correct but the facebook name shown is entirely of a different person, why is it so???

Can somebody please help me on this if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Facebook on BB Storm

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:50:58 GMT

A friend and I both have Blackberry Storms from Verizon. We both enjoy using the Facebook application, but we're having a slight problem. Periodically for me and constantly for her there's the notifcation at the top of the home screen saying there are notifications waiting. We've tried looking inside the Facebook Application (under the notifications tab) for the new notifications, tried clearing the cache in the Facebook Application Options menu and tried looking in the "Messages" folder for any unread notifications. We've even tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it but to no avail.

Please let me know if you know of any resolutions to this annoyance of a problem. I would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Music Media Player

myblackberry@rim.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:30:33 GMT

I have the BB Storm and After upgrading to 5.0 everything works great and I've had no problems until I wanted to go play some music. When I go to my Media Folder there is no icon for Music. I have to go to Explore Media Card then click on music folder and all of my music shows up as folders and I can either listen to the songs individually or play the folder but i can't play music then continue to do what I'm doing whether it's IM or BBM or email or FB. When I connect my BB to my computer and run the desktop manager and then try to use the Media Sync it keeps saying that it's unable to connect to my device. Does anyone know how to get the music icon back in my media folder? Please help, I have over 5GB of music that can't be used!

You can now toggle between usernames and real names!

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:18:13 GMT

Hello everyone!

I am very happy to say that you can now change your display name to your username (rather than your full name). All you have to do is:

1. Click on the My Profile link at the top of the page (or the left hand menu if that suits your fancy)

2. Click on Edit Profile in the Actions Box (it's on the right)

3. Click Display User Name

That's all there is to it. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's usernames. I'm not very original - I just chose "Becky"

Thanks!

Best Screen Protector for Tour?

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:37:28 GMT

My wife and I just upgraded to the BlackBerry Tour yesterday. Fantastic phone I have to say! My first BlackBerry. I switched over from a Palm Treo 700wx, and my wife switched over from the original Envy phone. We'd like to thank Verizon for having their Buy One Get One Free BlackBerry deal.

Anyhow, we're both wanting to put some kind of a screen protector on our Tours. For me, it's more about keeping the phone looking nice, and keeping the screen from getting scratches or crud build up. I can't stand having to clean the screen, as they never come "brand new" clean again.

For my wife, she needs something to protect the screen, and possibly a body kit/protector. She stays home with the kids most days, and needs to keep the phone safe from those 2-3 seconds the kids get a hold of it before she notices.

There are a lot of universal stick on screen protectors out there. I used one specifically from Palm on my Treo. Wondering if anyone can give us feedback on different screen protectors and what's worth a darn and what is not.

Thanks!

I have to then pull the battery to get it to work normal again. Any suggestions?

IMAP / gmail problems

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:39:05 GMT

I've been using my BB for close to 2 years with BIS and POP email with no problems. Recently I've switched my email to IMAP (gmail and google premier apps) and am having some difficulty.

From some searching I've done I understand that IMAP support on BIS is limited. But there are a couple of things that are driving me crazy:

I have rules setup on gmail to lablel and skip mailbox for certain msgs. However they still appear on my BB.
At seemingly random times, but probably connected to me sending email on my BB, I get 5 to 50 emails on my BB that I have already read. These emails are from my folders, (not my inbox) and appear alphabetically by folder name (ie - I get msgs from folder Am, and then B, etc.). I tried deleting these messages but then I just get the next bunch.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How to fix your Camera and Java Class Lang issues

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:33:59 GMT

Ok have you noticed when you to a battery pull/soft reset you phone all the sudden has a Java Class Lang issue? Orall of the sudden you Camera, Camcorder, or Ringtones have stopped working somehow?

Well Rumina and I have come up with a Step by Step fix that will solve these issues. It is a long and painful process so please bear with me as you probably wont like the solution but it is currently the only solution until RIM gets this Fixed or Patched.

- Ok firstly you need to go into BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and "Leave" any and all groups your in. (I don't know 100% because I am not an employee at RIM however The Language issue would seem to be caused by the different group users using different language packs that you don't have causing the incompatibility) If you don't leave the groups prior to making the backup in these steps as soon as your phone is back up it will mess up again.

- After that is done make a Backup of your BBM contacts remotely to your email address.

1. BB/Menu Key

2. "Back Up Contact List"

3. "Back up files remotely"

4. Choose an email address and make it will do the rest.

- Ok if you do not already have it on your PC you will need to install your Blackberry Desktop Manager which is a cd that came in your box or it can be downloaded at ( http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/ ) Once installed plug your Blackberry in and do a back up, here is how. Follow these steps to the letter because if you are not careful you could lose your data permanently.

1. Plug up Blackberry

2. Open Blackberry Desktop Manager

3. Click "Backup and Restore"

4. Click "Backup" (In the first column on the right"

5. It will ask you where you want to save the file... Save it some where that it can be easily found so you can restore the data after we are finished.

6. Click "Save" after you have chosen your location to save the file and the computer will do the rest.

7. Unplug your Blackberry your done here for now.

- Now this is where the fun begins the Master Reset or Wipe Handheld, I know you don't want to do it, Trust me I didn't want to do it the three times I had to do it to figure all this out for you fine folks either. Especially on my work phone which was the one affected. Ok now that we are set there let me walk you through it. This is why you need to follow the last set of instructions very carfully because you will be erasing everything off your phone in this step.

1. Scroll to and Open "Options"

2. Then "Security Options"

3. "General Settings"

4. Once inside click the BB/Menu Key

5. Select "Wipe Handheld"

6. Check the box to delete "All third party apps" and click "Continue"

7. Type "blackberry" when prompted and hit the enter key

This could take several minutes to almost an hour depending on Make/Data/Apps ect.

- Once the phone is done it will reload the home screen that will look like the day you bought it. You have made it and now we are just nearing the end of our journey with these final steps.

1. Run the Setup Wizard to setup your basic settings, Like TimeZone or fonts size.

2. Resend the Service Books to your phone, Via Device or your Service Providers Website. (if you don't know how call your service provider they can send them for you)

3. Next plug in your BB to your PC

4. Open Blackberry Desktop manager (unless you didn't close it )

5. Click "Backup and Restore"

6. Click "advanced" in the Far right hand collum

7. Right below where it says Backup and Restore it should say "File" it is easy to miss. <-- this is where you'll need the back up we made two steps ago.
8. Click "Open"

9. Select your backup file and click "Open" again

10. Now you'll be back to the main screen with two very confusing looking collums with words and numbers beside them.

11. Click the following choices I list as some of the settings will bring the corruption back.Use Ctrl and Click to select multiple items.

Adress Book - All

Adress Book Options

Alarm Options

Auto Text

Bluetooth Options <--if you use Bluetooth

Browser Bookmarks
Browser Options

Browser Urls

Calendar All

CustomWordsCollection

Memo Pad Options

Memos

SMS Messages

There may be others to these are just the safest to recover and so that is all I recommend.

12. Once you have all of those selected click the " >> " button and it will move the items to your phone.

13. When it's finished your finished and your phone should now work just fine, as long as you don't join any groups for now.

So sit back and relax you've earned it... and to our lovely RIM employee's/Moderators you can email me to get the address to mail me my check

BB Curve 8520

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:19:27 GMT

Hi there,

Am planning to buy a new BB this afternoon, and I think it'll be the new Curve 8520.

I have been using a Pearl 8100 for 3 years now and I think for private use the new Curve should be sufficient.

I used it for two personal emailaccounts, Facebook & MSN. And calling/texting of course.

I do not feel the need to spend a lot of bucks on a new phone and therefore I presume the Curve is - for what I use/need it - worth its money.

Any pro's and con's?

Thx

Steven

Ear Piece Speaker Help

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:49:51 GMT

So I dropped the top of my Blackberry Curve 8900 into a cup of milk that was only about an inch deep. The LDI is about half red and I know more than likely the speaker is shot but I wanted to give this a shot anyway.

The phone functions perfectly and the ear piece speaker worked for a couple days. The speakerphone works, the ear piece speaker will sound with the keypad tones but when it comes to hearing a person on the same speaker I get nothing. I know the speakerphone works through a different speaker but the keypad tones work through the same speaker as the person I'm talking to does. Any tips?

I have already replaced the phone but I don't want to trash the damaged one if there is a chance I can get this speaker fixed. Any ideas??

Thanks for any help.

App World- bust or best

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:02:04 GMT

After somehow discovering that App World was no longer anywhere to be found on my storm through no action on my part, it was just gone. I decided to reinstall it while my phone was connected to my laptop. This is clearly an option through the website and my phone was already connected so I thought I'd go this route. First problem, explorer only, something that just infuriates me to start. Second problem even using explorer it just doesn't work!!.

So I disconnect my phone and install it directly which does actually work. I scroll through pages and pages and pages of disclosure agreements to click I agree and I'm welcomed by the feature items, one of wich is called Globovision Movil. It is a free app and what it does is provide me with "Breaking News and videos from Venezuela"

Is RIM serious about this? Why is this a "featured app"? Are featured apps simple a random selection of anything that they feel like putting up? If it is that is a complete joke and worthless. The ability to use and install apps is what makes a phone useful and this is a terrible demonstration of the for the blackberry. It's no wonder that every commercial I see and advertisement I read states that the company has an Iphone app. I've never seen any third party state that they have a blackberry app in an add.

Keep it up BB and we'll all switch to something else.

New App Ideas

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:29:11 GMT

Blackberry has quite a a few apps that are comparable to Apple. I guess as long as people want something, to coin a phrase, there will be "an App for that!"

So i wanna hear what kind of solutions, situations, etc. we could use an BB app for. (who knows... maybe someone will listen!)

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:40:55 GMT

Have you ever had the dreaded white screen with the tiny error message in the middle?

Well, here is a list of notifications and their corresponding errors. This will help determine your next step when you troubleshoot your phone

101 Internal JVM error.

102 Invalid code in file system.
(The .cod files in the handheld have been checked for modification and it has been determined that there is a problem with one or more .cod files.)

103 The starting address for the boot .cod file cannot be found. This might mean that a boot .cod file has not been installed on the handheld, or that its format is invalid or corrupt.

104 An uncaught Java exception was thrown in the Java code and diagnosed by the JVM. Execution can be continued or the handheld can be attached to a debugger on a desktop through a serial or USB cable. The event log should contain the traceback of the thrown exception.

105 An OS file system API returned an error status for a certain operation. This can indicate a corrupt file system or an error in the JVM.

106 An error has been detected in the graphics system of the handheld.

107 Internal JVM error.

108 Internal JVM error.

109 Internal OS error.

110 Non-idle event downtime error. A problem has been detected in the accumulation of JVM down time that represents how long the JVM has been idle. This indicates an error in either the OS code or the JVM code.

200 Application manager threw an uncaught exception. The application manager event thread threw an uncaught exception and so cannot continue running.

201 Initialization of the cryptographic system failed and the handheld cannot continue to operate.

202 An attack on the key store has been detected, and the handheld cannot continue to operate.

203 The application manager console process, usually the Home screen ribbon, has failed, like due to an uncaught exception.

501 Internal error.

502 All processes exited. The last Java process has terminated, and there is nothing left to execute.

503 Internal error.

504 Internal error.

505 Internal error.

506 An uncaught Java exception was thrown in the initial VM Java thread thus killing the only live thread in the system. The event log contains the traceback for the exception.

507 A dependency on a .cod file could not be satisfied due to a missing .cod file. Load the missing .cod file onto the handheld.

508 Invalid object. A problem has been detected with a debugger command to the VM.

516 Error occurred during garbage collection, which might indicate a corrupted file system.

510 All threads are waiting on objects, which results in a deadlock. The system cannot recover from this state since no thread can release a lock.

511 A problem has occurred during debugging.

515 The reachable objects form a group that cannot be represented properly by the VM because there are too many objects or the total size of the objects is too large.

516 When committing a persistent object, the VM found that the persistent store id counter has reached its limit. The object was not committed.

517 An inconsistency has been detected in the VM persistent object store.

518 Internal error.

519 Internal error.

520 Internal error.

521 Indicates that Object.wait() has been executed by a thread that holds a lock on another object; occurs only in simulator if the JvmDebugWaits application switch.

522 A thread has acquired two locks on objects in an order that doesn't match the order that previous locks for the two types were acquired, which indicates a future potential deadlock situation; reported only in the simulator when the JvmDebugLocks application switch is set.

523 A critical Java process has died and the device cannot continue to operate normally.

524 An object has been marked as recovered by the Low Memory Manager but it was not freed during a garbage collection. This is only checked in the simulator under the control of the JvmDebugLMM application switch.

525 Bad persistent object. An auto-commit operation during a garbage collection has detected a non-persistent object reachable from the persistent store root. The type of the object has been output into the event log.

526 The class definition for java.lang.Object cannot be found.

527 The class definition for java.lang.String cannot be found.

528 The file system is corrupted. Data on the handheld is unrecoverable.

529 The file system is corrupted. An attempt is going to be made to recover data, but some data might be lost.

530 Internal JVM error.

531 Flash memory has been exhausted.

532 A JVM assertion has been violated. This error can occur only in the simulator, not on an actual handheld.

Where is the "Start Discussion" button?

myblackberry@rim.com — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 20:34:29 GMT

When you are at the home screen the start discussion buttons have been removed from their respective spot near the 3 topics. I didn't know if anyone else noticed this? I kind of miss them! Now we have to go the actual section and hit the button there. I know it is one more button press but I just noticed that they were missing!

Facebook for Blackberry

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:23:50 GMT

I am getting Spam messages that only show up on my Facebook for BB. No emails or Web Facenook messages, these come only to my phone. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled and still have the same thing happening. Anyone know where I can go for specific help. Google isnt doing it.

Is it me or is RIM a little on the boring side?

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:16:29 GMT

When I watch television I also get stuck watching commercials for the APP store and they are always showing the newest and coolest apps off. I have had a Blackberry for about 5 months now and have yet to see one commercial made by RIM showing off their APP World. Apple has gotten everything right so far. They know who they are selling their product to. They also know that apps should be "CHEAP" starting at .99! I know that people like to make money off the apps, but $2.99 as the beginning price is a little on the ridiculous side. So I will patiently be waiting in front of my TV waiting for a fun "Hip" ad from RIM showing off the App World.............

I need some help with my 8350i

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:25:41 GMT

I just bought this BB8350i and it's my first BB. When I first started using it the other day I found an option to adjust/select which ringers/alerts I wanted and volumes for these items. I thought I accessed it from the options screen but I can't find it then I thought it might be in the options screen when i open the phone but it's not accessible there either. Please help my find this item so that I know I am not loosing my mind. I have been trying to get back to that screen for 3 days now and can't find that option screen to be able to set these settings.

Okay, it's September 30th. Where is it??????????

I've been running the beta for a couple of week pending the final release and while I've got it doing the basic sync stuff, there are some odd behaviors, i.e. can't update/change synced contacts on my berry, etc.

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:40:40 GMT

Thanks and no, I don't want to change my BB, I love the one that I have. I didn't want to change my clock interface, I was just wondering if I was missing something, because someone said that the clock interface could be changed on the Pearl 8110 and I was pretty certain that it could not.

Has the App World changed?

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:19:12 GMT

I just noticed a few days ago when I was searching through the App World that none of my categories had numbers next to them. I didn't know if it was a bug or if RIM had changed anything on us? If you could shed some light on it..........

Blackberry contact

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:59:08 GMT

I find it very hard that after all those years the contact application of blackberry is so poor, nowadays people have more than one mobile number, and it is very frustrating to know that you can only add another mobile number by labelling it other, but as a mac user, despite the fact I find bbdm very good, when you sync it with address book you loose half of the information because it won't take in consideration any kind of non preregistered label and the second mobile number will also won't be copied to you device. I also have a nokia and it is truly impossible to sync both devices with address book because of the rigidity of the contact application, so I prefer to sync my nokia and do the rest manually on the blackberry, how annoying!

so rim, this is the 21st century, a lot of people have more than one mobile number so even if you are too busy at least correct that.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this issue

Verizon Releases 5.0... Thoughts likes/dislikes

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:46:46 GMT

So Verizon finally released the official 5.0 OS for the Storm and now that we have had some time to play around with it what does everyone like dislike?

Like:

No lag at all.... Finally!
I like the icon for the SMS/MMS (weird but I do)
When you are browsing the contacts through the phone app there is a green call symbol in the bottom right corner.
Stable memory! (for now)!

Dislike:

My "Sonar" alert sounds incredibly different! It is deafening on the loud setting, and before it wasn't that bad.
The "Music" was taken out of the "Media".
Opera browser doesn't seem to be responding well with the new OS.

*Over all the Likes are much better than the dislikes.

Touch Screen VS Actual Buttons

myblackberry@rim.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:59:36 GMT

So I'm a Storm owner. Had mine for about 4-5 months now and im happy to say that i am used to it, lol. This is my first Touchscreen phone, let a lone first BlackBerry. I find myself missing actual buttons to press from time to time though, lol. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you prefer touchscreen phones or phones with actual buttons? and if so, would you go back to a phone with buttons after owning a Storm or iPhone?

App for more voice mail messages....

myblackberry@rim.com — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:48:09 GMT

I was wondering if anyone knows of a app that lets you keep more then 20 voice message that VZW lets you have at one time? I keep a lot of my voice mail messages and I never seem to have enough space?

If there is not one for adding more space then maybe there is a app that lets you put your old voice mail messages some where to safely store them.

Any help would be great.

Blackberry Bluetooth devices configuration

myblackberry@rim.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:38:28 GMT

Hey

I have a number of blackberry devices in my organization (about 45). We use a blackberry enterprise server

I am trying to configure a Samsung Bluetooth earpiece for the phone. This earpiece comes with no supporting software nor is there any intereface to it. It is just an earpiece

When I run the Blackberry Bluetooth discovery (Set up Bluetooth) it does find the device. But when the time comes to put in the passkey the dialog box vanishes off the screen before even 2 seconds has passed so I have no chance to enter in the passkey.

This has happened with more than one device

How do I enter in the passkey?

Blackberry APP Congestion

myblackberry@rim.com — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:07:42 GMT

I am finding that if I put two many apps on my Blackberry, it slows it down considerably. Apparently the memory of the machine seems limited. The memory card appears only available to hold docs or media, but not programs.

My friends who own the IPHONE don't seem to experience the same problem.

Does anyone have a similar experience?

Can anyone recommend a solution.

Facebook Messaging

Facebook Application Calendar

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:52:09 GMT

Despite having turned of the calendar feature on the blackberry Facebook app, I still have a Facebook calendar. Not only is this frustrating because I do not want it, but it is making my Google Calendar/Google Sync application malfunction. When I say I don't want a feature, I don't want it, why does it keep coming back. I will delete the Facebook app years before I'd part with Google Sync or my Google Calendar.

I have a Curve 8330 on Verizon Wireless.

What Would be your ideal BlackBerry?

myblackberry@rim.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:30:59 GMT

I know that rim is coming out with the magnum sometime next year and I can't wait. Since having the palm centro, I fell in love with the qwerty keyboard and touch screen with the stylus. Since having 3 blackberries, I've prayed that rim would make a blackberry with those same features, and WHAM, here it is, my dream is coming true. I can't wait for it, I CAN'T WAIT.

So what would be the ideal blackberry for you? What would you want for your blackberry that would make it the best of the best for you? Maybe rim will be looking at this thread to get some ideas on how to keep us happy blackberrians.
