Alternative for Google Sync for BlackBerry Storm 9500

Hi, recommend an alternative for Google Sync for BlackBerry Storm 9500 without BES / BIS, thank you!

from GMail, you can export your contacts and your calendar events to a CSV or XLS file.
then using the Desktop Software, you can synchronize those files to your device.
That being said, using a BlackBerry without BIS is having a very incomplete BlackBerry experience.

Fix for google toolbar for firefox v7.0.1

Need a fix for google toolbar for firefox v7.0.1 it no longer works with updated Firefox Do not care to switch back to IE.

The Google Toolbar has nothing to do with Mozilla. Mozilla is not and never was responsible in any way for the Google Toolbar.
The Google Toolbar was created by Google for other browsers. It was never added to their own Google Chrome browser, and they have indicated that they have dropped support for it in Firefox. The only browser they were really concerned with keeping it in was IE. They did however assert that it was not needed in Firefox because there were already features in Firefox -- those "features" include other extensions which are not really Mozilla either. But the Google Toolbar is something you got from Google. I think it is doubtful that it would have ever passed Mozilla testing to be included at mozilla.addons (AMO) or that Google would have provided Mozilla with the source for verifications.
Take a look at what features you use in the Google Toolbar and check out your usage to what is available to you based on what Google has mentioned and based on what some Firefox users have noted in the following article:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars] - (MozillaZine Knowledge Base
For what it's worth Firefox 8.0 came out today (Tue Nov 8th, 2011), I updated from Help > About Firefox at what would be 11:55 AM Pacific time (7:55 PM London). It would be rolled out to different areas at different time. The release notes did not come up, which is probably good because they mess up so many users when they do come up.

Spanning sync versus google sync for iphone

I am currently using spanning sync. It works great, except you have to connect it by cable to your pc to sync. In 2009 cable connections are a pain in the neck (IMO). I dont like the idea of wiping out all my contacts to switch to google sync. I also hear it only can sync 5 calendars. Is there experience out there with google's version, is it working great ? Are there delays opening the calender or contacts or making changes b/c it syncs with google ? Is the 5 calendar limit true? Would love to not pay for spanning sync if google is working well. Thanks.

I'm using Google Sync, used NuevaSync before that. Synching both calendars (three) and contacts.
Read everything before making a decision. Activating the mobile, turning on synching, choosing default notifications. I did, have no gripes, didn't lose any data.
I also use MobileMe. Google Sync shows the contacts in the My Contacts list on my account; I use Calaborator to sync my contacts into my Address Book - all of my Google Contacts show up in my Address Book on my Mac and Contacts in my iPhone, so I have access to all of them. I can also use the Address Book app to edit my Google Contacts.
Syncing from/to the iPhone is almost instantaneous. Faster than MobileMe's synching, and MM and Google's services are finally getting it.
Spanning Sync? I wouldn't bother.

End of GOOGLE SYNC work around (or app) for WIRELESS sync for Gmail calendar

thnx for help !
i use my google calendar exclusively -no Outlook at all, no desktop manager ever.
With my Curve i used to use GOOGLE SYNC to immediately update and sync manually.
There is no more GOOGLE SYNC (support ended) ... Not for my new Tour as it still was working on Curve 12/12/12.
I timed my update I made on my Google calendar online and it took 30 minutes for the bbery calendar to show the update using the wireless sync in the Tour setup.
HOW CAN I MANUALLY tell my bberry to sync wirelessly instead of waiting for however long it takes to auto sync ?
Why did it take so long?
is there a WIRELESS work around or an APP for the end of Google sync?
Using Tour 9630
thanks again!

Could you please ellaborate on which other helps, you've tried?
Data plans are not available for 9780 in Denmark, rendering me unable to access my Google Calendar, except from going through a browser - not ideal, by any means.
So... Any workaround would be appreciated - even only for primary calendar.
I know Nokia has working apps such as Googasync, but I'm unable to find similar for BB (which is curious, as they are both based on S60).

Looking for reliable sync for contacts and calendar

Does anyone know of a reliable app that will sync contacts and calendars between my droid and my pc? I use outlook (not exchange). I have no problems syncing gmail and webmail. I tried Missing Sync but it won't bring contacts from my phone to my pc and it really doesn't sync. It creates duplicates on my phone while bringing nothing to my pc.
The operative word here is reliable.

Hi. I have my Microsoft Outlook synced to my google calendar which syncs to my iCal on my MacBook which then syncs to my Droid! LOL, a lot of different calendars but I use my PC for some things and my Mac for other things but I want them all to work together and it does with the google calendar. You can go to google, read the calendar section and it's pretty easy to set up. I have bells and whistles going off for birthdays and appointments but I never miss an event.
Good luck!

Is there an option for the history such that it categorises your history into folders (one for each website, eg. one folder for Google, one for MSN, one for Youtube etc.).

Internet Explorer does this, and it's much better than having to sort through hundreds of separate URLs.

You can open the History in the sidebar (View > Sidebar > History) and click the View button and select "By Site";

I have storm 9500 unlocked in uk, I can not get the blackberry internet to work?

I have blackberry storm 9500. i unlocked it for o2, the o2 internet works....however the blackberry internet does not work...the operate for o2 seemed to think i need Service pack...but i cnt find it to download
anyone able to help me

Have you got the Blackberry Unlimited bolton at £10 per month or the blackberry payu on your account?
Have you registered your device to www.o2email.co.uk or registered on the mobile site by going through the setup wizzard?
I have never heard about a service pack, but they probably mean service books, these 2 questions are vital to know if you have access to blackberry.net. Also if you have already done the two above, I would suggest you try email settings>services and settings>service books. Do a battery removal and retest. There are other checks but I'm not sure how far you have got so far

Thunderbird3-x86-64 from AUR and Provider for Google plugin not workin

Hi
I compiled Thunderbird 3 from AUR which has the Lightning plugin in it v1.0b2pre and want Provider for Google (sync google calender to lightning) and I'm not getting it working. I have tried serveral versions including the nightly build and does not install. Has anyone got this plugin working?
M

Hi
Thanks I've tried that but Provider for Google's preferences is not available for me to select - its greyed out.
I compiled Thunderbird from AUR which had Lightning pre-installed. I disabled it and installed your recommended version - lightning is now 1.0b1 and Provider is 0.6b1. Did you install Thunderbird from extra and not AUR?
M
Okay uninstalled my compiled thunderbird and installed from extra - its called shredder from what I see. Installed lightning and provider as you have indicated and still Provider's preference button is grayed out. is this due to remnents of previous installation? what can I do to fix?

Blackberry Storm 9530 sync with Ical?

Does anyone know how to sync their blackberry storm with their ical or entourage calendar 2004? I can't. Is it even possible?

After spending hours with 'pocketmac' and the 'missingsync' getting nowhere with trying to synce my BB Bold with my Mac I stumbled across Google! If you open an account with them (free) you have the ability to upload your mac calendar and you address book will sync with google from the address book preferences. After you have uploaded what you need you can then use "google sync" to transfer your calendar and address book to your BB. The calendar does not sync with your mac and you will have to edit it online but you can periodically upload a new vCal file onto the google calendar. This is by far and away the best and free way to get mac info into a BB. It's not perfect but oh so much better than the offical options available.
The only other true way to achieve sync is to boot into windoze and buy outlook. Then everything works perfectly, but who want's to do that? Take a look at the google option, it's the best I've found so far after HOURS of messing around with the other sync apps!

Switching From The Original BlackBerry Storm to Droid X

Ordered my phone through Verizon on 8/25. My X is expected to ship by 9/9. Anyone else switch from the BB Storm? If so, what should I expect from the X? Is there a big difference?
FWIW, I absolutely loath the Storm. It's the worst phone I've ever owned. So, I'm expecting/hoping for a lot from the X

My wife and I also went from BB to Droid. She got the Droid 2 (Came in day after I ordered on the phone) to replace her Curve and I got the X (arrived two weeks later) to replace my Storm 1. What a difference! Here's the rundown of what I see different so far (had it for just over a week).
1. Fast! Everything is fast. Browser loads pages several times faster than the Storm. Scrolling, pinch to zoom, and every other aspect of browsing is amazing in comparison. I used to dread getting on the web with the Storm and would prefer to wait till I could get to a computer. Not any more! Switching apps is equally speedy and multitasking is awesome.
2. Much better memory management. I had quick pull on my Storm scheduled to reboot every morning and was still getting slow and hourglasses by early evening. I haven't had to reboot my X yet for slowdown. I also have tons more apps installed. I was down to only a few apps on my Storm to free up as much memory as possible. I just keep downloading more on my X with no problems.
3. The screen does take a little getting used to. I was in the habit of letting my finger rest on the screen to keep it on with my Storm. It can be pretty sensitive for typing as well. I get a few extra letters here and there but I'm getting better. (Using swype helps alot).
4. Did I mention it's fast?
5. Battery life is about the same. Except I am still playing with the X alot more.
6. I wasn't a big business user and already use gmail for my personal email, as well as google calendar. I had google sync on my Storm so the transition was easy there. My wife does use a pop account for her work email so it is kind of a bummer that it isn't push like the BB, but she's ok with it. Switched from using BB Messenger to Google Talk with no problems either. If you have a big list of contacts in BB Messenger, keep an eye on an app called CrossTalk that promises to be able to send BBM messages from Android phones.
7. Kinda bummed there isn't a unified inbox like on my Storm, but having everything show up in the notification drop down is just as good.
8. It's fast, even without battery pulls!

ICal v. Blackberry Storm

I am having trouble syncing my Blackberry Storm to my iCal. Only syncs one way and wipes out my BB calendar. How can I reverse and sync mobile device to iCal? I have tried Pocket Mac and Missing Sync. They don't work either. HELP!
