Security activation on your BlackBerry Z10 Device

To start calendar and contact synchronization with Gmail, do I need to complete the security activation. If yes How can I do this on my Z10?

Hey dasht,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
To start the calendar and contact synchronization you just need to add your email account and make sure sync contacts and calendar is set to on.  Also the contact synchronization happens every 4 hours.
A security activation should not be required.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

  • BlackBerry z10 device memory problem

    I have a problem with my BlackBerry z10 device memory. Over time the so called "other data" keep growing, eating up the internal memory even though i didn't install new apps. So now i have less than 1 gb free storage and keep getting message that i should move some files to the external memory. The "other data" is now at 14.8 gb. BlackBerry 10 os don't let us see the content of this data but i know that all of the apps i installed take less than 4 gb. I wanna find the solution before i factory reset my z10. I don't like to have to install all those apps again. 

    MaxMem was a tool that could "free up space" in OS's 4.2 to 6.0.  It hasn't been updated since sometime in 2008.  There is no BB10 version.

  • HELP! How to get BlackBerry 10.1 on your BlackBerry Z10

    Hello,
    I got the BlackBerry Z10 since a week and now I wanted to update it to the BlackBerry 10.2 Beta version. But the version is really bad and now I'd like to change back to BlackBerry 10.1. I downloaded the version 10.1 and wanted to install it but when I turn my phone back on there's a msg 'BlackBerry dev alpha update had ended...' any my phone wouldn't start anymore. I tried hard reset but nothing works...got BlackBerry 10.2 back on now.
    Please help me!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK thanks...let's see if I've understood.
    1) You first attempted the OS Upgrade (which actually does not apply to your situation) by
    Removing your SIM card
    Disabling Location Services
    Then conducted the 11 steps
    At what step did it fail? And what was the exact and complete error message presented?
    2) Next, as described in the post, you
    Launched Link and connected your device
    Selected "Reload Device Software"
    What was the exact and complete error message presented please?
    3) Finally, you followed the 11 steps, but somewhere along the way something went wrong...is there any way for you to be more exact in your description? What step number? What was the exact and complete error message presented?
    As you can see, I've not needed any "specific words"...all I've done is cite from the post I linked you to, so as to try and elicit details that will be useful...
    Thanks and let us know!

  • Blackberry Z10 sharing Media not recognising the devices

    Hi,
    Media sharing is not working in my BlackBerry Z10, Devices are visible in "Devices for sharing Media" and I have selected the desired devices however, in "select a device to play on" none of device is visible to select.
    I am trying to connect my Sony vaio PC which is DLNA certified.
    Do I need to make any changes in my blackberry device or laptop. Both devices are using same WIFI network.
    Thanks,

    While playing Video, select More then Play On, you should see HDMI (Not connected) and compatible devices (mine Shows WDTVLIVE), select Media Sharing at the bottom and activate all media. Select Devices at the bottom and check if device is listed, it should be there with stacks of other unkown devices and IP addresses.

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

  • Apps on BlackBerry World for BlackBerry Z10

    Hi BlackBerry
    I'm very impressed with the new BlackBerry Z10 device with its new features, display resolution, keyboard typing and gestures, but I have a big issue with the Apps on BlackBerry world. 
    Still BlackBerry World is missing lots and lots of popular apps that are widely used and are currently available on Apple AppStore & Android Google Play. I know that you are working on it, and it is hard for now to compete with Apple & Android appstores, but at least there is a punch of apps that are mostly common worldwide, especailly the social networking and voip calling apps which have to be launched officially on BlackBerry world as soon as possible.
    In addition, I'd like to draw your attention that the Facbook app (which is currently integrated with BB 10) is an older version of Facebook than the currently available one for Android & iOS devices (one big difference is that the current facebook app version for Android & iOS devices include the "Share" feature for my feeds and stories, while the facebook app on BB 10 still does not include that feature). I don't know about twitter and linkedin, as I didn't check yet, but at least pleasue ensure with their developers that those native integrated apps are updated to their latest versions to provide BlackBerry users the same experience that Android & iOS users are having.
    Also, about apps, there are many apps developed by Google (like youtube, Google Maps & Navigation, Google +, Google Current ...etc) which are not yet available on BlackBerry world (The Youtube app on BB 10 is just a shortcut to the internet broweser and not a fullt fledged Youtube App). Having Google apps on BlackBerry world will also give a big push to the users base for BB 10 (especially the Google Maps & Navigation, which are ranked and considered the best mapping database and app worldwide). I know that Google have to develop such apps from their side (as the same for other developers), but I hope that BlackBerry should give this issue its ultimae priority, as I think that the major drawback (if I can name it so) for BB 10 to earn a significant market share worldwide is the absence of many popular and widely used apps on the BlackBerry World as compared with Apple App Store and Android Google Play. 
    I know that BB 10 and its OS is just the begining, and that BlackBerry have more to provide to us from the apps side and other sides as well, so keep moving and hope to see the positive results soon.
    Regards;

    Hi ahmed_mh1,
    Blackberry has certainly put in a concerted effort to woo app developers of all types, big names and small alike. It by far the best effort that I have ever seen from them in this regard.. Unfortunately no matter the effort by them it will always come down to numbers for the big guys. If they aren't sure there will be a ROI on the investment of developing they won't put the resources into it.
    This can be seen with the Facebook app you mentioned, it is a great example because it wasn't developed by Facebook... Blackberry ended up doing it for them. I'm sure that we have all noticed that Blackberry has been busy working on other areas of the phone, and that they have lots more work that we would all like to see done.
    Would you rather have better notification granularity, or a better Facebook app?
    If all of the million + z10 use re would all petition Facebook for a better FB built app, then we would have a much better chance of seeing the dream FB app that we desire.
    Of course we all know about the rumours that FB wants to have their own phone.. so maybe conflict of interest has played into the game...?
    #GetWithBB10!!! As Kevin O'Leary says.. it is the best!
    -: DrewRead :-
    Can't find an app on Blackberry World yet? Tweet the developer and ask when they will #GetWithBB10 !!
    "Like it" if you like it.

  • BlackBerry Z10 After Update Crashes

    Hi guys, 
    This is my first time using a BlackBerry phone. I have is a BlackBerry Z10. One morning, I got a notification to update the phone from 10.0 to 10.1 so I updated it. Then after the restart, I've experience lots of issues and I don't know how to get it back to its functional state:
    * Crashes on: Calendar, BBM, BlackBerry World, Remember, Music, Story Maker, Foursquare, Games, Clock, Compass, File Manager, Print To Go* Doesn't load/continue: Phone, Text Messages
    * Systems Settings > Account doesn't load/show anything
    * BlackBerry Hub is just a black screen, no notifications
    * Opening a PDF in Adobe Reader would crash
    * Screen Orientation in Browser is distorted
    Here are the solutions I tried:
    * System Wipe - Didn't worked.
    * 5-Swipe Trick - Didn't restarted the Hub.
    * Access Music/Games to access App World - Music/Games themselves crashes
    * Access appworld://games, appworld://parentalcontrols - App World just immediately crash
    * Access Settings > Parental Controls > BlackBerry World - It didn't load.
    I tried to update the phone after the factory reset, but the problem still persists.
    Thanks in advance guys,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your BlackBerry Z10.

    Thanks!

  • Blackberry Z10 Deleted all my emails

    Guys,
    Got a new Z10 a week ago, and for some unknown reason, it deleted all my emails from the past week. I went online to Gmail and it had deleted all my emails from the inbox - I had to find these in the 'all mail' function and put them back in the inbox. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

    Hey michaelPerthWA,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Do you have this email account setup in Outlook or another email program on the computer?  If you start to receive emails on the webmail and your BlackBerry Z10, when does it usually delete the emails?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Blackberry z10 maps language issue

    Hi aneeahbtr,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    Could you please provide some more detail so I can assist you better?
    What region are you located in? Has your location recently changed?
    Were any changes made to your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone before this issue started? Were any applications installed or updated or any settings changed?
    Are you seeing the Arabic display only in the BlackBerry Maps application?
    In Settings > Location Services are Location Services on?
    In Settings > Language and Input, are your language and region set correctly?
    I look forward to your response.

Are you serious!?
