BlackBerry really needs to stop slashing prices so much.

The Q5 is now available for Rs 13,990 in India! 3 months it had received a price cut of 5K from its original price of Rs 24,990. It's like the early adopters are paying insanely. Not cool. 
Not try to rant but, I had saved for almost a year before I could buy a Q5. And within 2 months after I bought this phone, it's now available for 5K less than what I bought it for. Not Cool BlackBerry.

I agree with all your points.
I will add some comments.
2. The momentum thing. I think that in the BlackBerry World idea, this is taken care of by the "Trending" sections.
4. Currently, books are apps as far as the BlackBerry 10 OS is concerned. I do not have enough knowledge about the AppStore of GooglePlay to know if it is different for iOS and Android.
I do not know if simply "visually" seperating books from the Apps would be enough from a user experience (ie. it is just a matter of creating another meta category only in the BB World app).
3 & 5 yes those are things that were acceptable with AppWorld 1.0 was released, but not anymore. It has been several years already. AppWorld is still a young store, despite its now old age.
6 I would like vids too. But currently as far as I know, RIM does not have any streaming technology available. So it means that RIM would have to either license a streaming technology, or make a partnership with the current video streaming actors on the web (vimeo, youtube, dailymotion...). I don't see that coming in a near future.
If I have the motivation and time, I may make a GreaseMonkey Script to fetch video reviews, from the web BBWorld store front. But it would only be a clumsy workaround.

    How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I try to use Yahoo Mail?
    I really need a correct answer please. Other answers have only suggested how to access Yahoo Mail without using Safari. I want to continue using Safari to access Yahoo Mail,if possible.  Thank you.

    Could be a cookie issue...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab then click Show Cookies
    Type yahoo in the serach field then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try accessing your Yahoo mail account.
    FYI... there is rarely a sure fire correct response for third party web based email client software. Often takes time consuming troubleshooting.

    I've tried to execute J2ee tutorial examples.
    I don't know why this sample didn't execute...I've already finished to set up J2EE and enviornment variables.
    I was trying this part from j2ee tutorial titled as "Packing Web modules".
    Whenever I type "asant create-war" to make web modules in command window. I always got error.
    Packaging Web Modules(From J2ee tutorial for your information)
    A web module must be packaged into a WAR in certain deployment scenarios and whenever you want to distribute the web module. You package a web module into a WAR using the Application Server deploytool utility, by executing the jar command in a directory laid out in the format of a web module, or by using the asant utility. This tutorial allows you to use use either the first or the third approach. To build the hello1 application, follow these steps:
    In a terminal window, go to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/.
    Run asant build. This target will spawn any necessary compilations and will copy files to the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/build/ directory.
    To package the application into a WAR named hello1.war using asant, use the following command:
    asant create-war
    This command uses web.xml and sun-web.xml files in the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1 directory.
    To learn how to configure this web application, package the application using deploytool by following these steps:
    Start deploytool.
    Create a web application called hello1 by running the New Web Component wizard. Select FileNewWeb Component.
    In the New Web Component wizard:
    Select the Create New Stand-Alone WAR Module radio button.
    In the WAR File field, enter <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/hello1.war. The WAR Display Name field will show hello1.
    In the Context Root field, enter /hello1.
    Click Edit Contents to add the content files.
    In the Edit Contents dialog box, navigate to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/build/. Select duke.waving.gif, index.jsp, and response.jsp and click Add. Click OK.
    Click Next.
    Select the No Component radio button and click Next.
    Click Finish.
    Select FileSave.
    A sample hello1.war is provided in <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/provided-wars/. To open this WAR with deploytool, follow these steps:
    Select FileOpen.
    Navigate to the provided-wars directory.
    Select the WAR.
    Click Open Module.
    I guess this step is for checking my system about setup information. I not sure how to change it.

    ok,
    First of all make sure your tutorial folder is installed from the root:
    C:\javaeetutorial5
    or
    D:\javaeetutorial5
    it makes things so simple.
    Secondly:
    set your jee tutorial home
    JAVAEE.TUTORIAL.HOME =
    C:/javaeetutorial5
    Thirdly: check in:
    C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\bp-project
    make a copy of the build.properties.sample save it as build.propropties, as a property file,
    edit the properties file as in:
    build.properties
    As follows:
    # uncomment the property javaee.home, and add the path
    # to your GlassFish Java EE 5 SDK installation
    javaee.home=c:/Sun/SDK
    javaee.tutorial.home=c:/javaeetutorial5
    # Uncomment the property j2ee.server.username,
    # and replace the administrator username of the app-server
    javaee.server.username=admin
    # Uncomment the property j2ee.server.passwordfile,
    # and replace the following line to point to a file that
    # contains the admin password for your app-server.
    # The file should contain the password in the following line:
    AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin1234and so fourth. Some of the settings as the application server name is all done for you
    and then test it again.
    Take care of editing the property file. It can give you headache.
    Note also that this is for application server 9.1 - JEE5.

  • Wifi Syncing really needs a fix. Or at the very least some manual parameters.

    After installing IOS5 , itunes 10.5 and making sure eveything works i've come across a snag like many others.
    Wi-fi syncing simply doesn't work for me.
    I have the option in summary , it is clicked and enabled.
    I've followed the trouble shooting guide here : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062 a few times over.
    Still my phone claims not to see the computer itunes is installed on.
    On my phone , in settings - general - iTunes Wi-Fi Sync the button is greyed out and under it it says "Sync will resume when "HOUSE-03-PC-05" is available".
    It is available LOL , ios stop lying to me.
    I have installed a few ping apps , where pinging to the ip of said computer works fine from my phone.
    I have disabled my windows firewall to be sure nothing is being blocked by it.
    I checked if bonjour still works with other apps that need it. And they work.
    Airvideo for example can connect to the computer that has my itunes installed just fine.
    I installed "ip scanner" , it seems to discover the netbios name of the "HOUSE-03-PC-05" computer just fine.
    The wireless access point I use is a D-link 2100AP, it doesn't block nor firewall anything. . Everything else wifi related I do works fine.
    Itunes is running , my power  cable is plugged in , and i'm not sitting at the wrong side of the desk while looking at the back of my screen.
    I have even started a few tcp server programs of my own making on various ports on the pc itunes is installed on and connected to those ports using issh in telnet mode , and it works just as it's suposed to.
    Something really needs fixing when it comes to the phone finding the computer that it uses for syincing.
    Maybe the option to indicate the IP to try and connect to would fix it ? is it a resolve issue?
    I was thinking the problem could be from uisng hyphens in my netbios names , but i really would doubt that .
    Any more ideas on what more I could test for would be apreciated .
    Kind Regards
    Phoenixxl.

    I had exactly the same problem and couldn't find the answer anywhere. However after playing a bit I found out that my computer name (i.e. Right click on "Computer" and select properties) contained a hypen. I renamed the computer to delete the hypen, restarted and now it syncs wirelessly like a charm!
    Obviously something that apple overlooked which will probably right itself in the next release but should get you up and running fingers crossed!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop...

    I have a Tour 9630 and just installed v6.0 and receiving an error window "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem as caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I have not received any message from Windows after 2 days.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  If so, I would appreciate any guidance.  I have Windows 7, if that matters. Thank you. in advance.

    Hi somewhatstock
    How far did you get with them? Did they have any ideas what might be causing the problem? Trying to work on it myself, so trying to eliminate what others might have tried. Curious why it works on my Desktop however. Losing tethering really causes problems as I rely on tethering with my laptop quite a lot.  
    Any information most welcome,
    regards,

It started turning on with the apple symbol and then the screen went white. I kept trying to do the same thing but it wouldnt work. Eace time i did that the screen was a different color. I was yellow/white at one point, blue at another time and sometimes the color behind the apple symbol. It got really HOT and i just let it die. When it was dead i put it on a charger. once it got charged up it started turning on with the apple symbol. then it turned white again and then restarted without me touching anything. When it restarted it turned the blue again. i took it off the charger immediantly because i didnt want it getting as hot as it was before. ive tried every way i know how to fix it but not putting it in the computer because i dont want it to ruin the computer. Please help because i really dont want to get a new ipod. Ive read a lot about how to fix it here on apple but there all the same answer and it still doesnt work.

    What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes.  I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!!  GRRRR!!!

    Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working

    Blackberry Torch 9850 on the Verizon Wireless Network
    Blackberry OS: 7.1 Bundle 1737 (v 7.1.0.580, Platform 5.1.0.429)
    Windows 7 Home Premium, SP11 with an full admin account
    HP Desktop computer
    For some unknown reason whenever I attempt to execute Blackberry Desktop Software version 7.1 the application returns the following error: "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working: A problem caused the program and notify you if a solution is available." The last successful use of DM was on Sunday, October 7, 2012 when I synched my phone and did a backup of the device.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the application; uninstalled Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5 and 4.0 then re-installed .Net Framework; then re-installed DM under a new admin account and still getting the same problem. I even went as far as uninstalling Office and re-installing office and still getting the same problem. Whenever I uninstalled DM I did a manual uninstall where I removed all registry keys associated with Research in Motion including folders and still getting the same problem. I Googled the error and the articles worth reading I have already the things they mentioned.
    NOTE: I have done a lot more troubleshooting that is listed. But since I did so much to get this to work it will take me an entire novel to list all the things I have done to get this app to work again.
    Called VZW and they got me in contact with RIM. RIM did pretty much the same things I did and after spending 7 hours on the phone with them they concluded I need to reformat my drive. When the tech made that suggested I wanted to reach thru the phone and knock her teach out of her mouth. Suffice to say I am not able to get DM to work on my machine and there appears to be no apparent reason why the software will stop working. Not have DM work means I cannot synch my phone. I have one personal computer and I am not going to install DM on my laptop because it will do me no good since I need to synch it with Outlook which is on my personal desktop. I cannot install my personal copy of office on my work laptop because it will probably cause other issues.
    Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this application working on my desktop. It was working before and all of a sudden it stopped  working

  • Im about to make a trip to the USA and i need to know the price of an iphone 4s 64GB unlokced please in order to carrie the amount of dollars

    Im about to make a trip to the USA and i need to know the price of an iphone 64GB unlokced please in order to carrie the amount of dollars

    "Same as what? "  US of course.
    So the price of an iPhone in the U.S. is the same as the price of an iPhone in the U.S. ?
    Okay.
    tymcziszyn asked how much an iPhone in the U.S. would cost. Nothing was mentioned about comparing the cost (which you seemed to be attempting to do but your post was a bit short.).
    You really meant that the price of an iPhone purchased in the U.S and then paying import duties and VAT when taking it home would (likely be close to the) same price as if purchased in his home country.
    and what if his home country does not sell the iPhone?
    I understood what you meant but OP may not be native english speaker (though he seems to do well here) so making sure they get the entire message clearly may help.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1.0.35 fails to launch with "BlackBerry Desktop Software has stopped working"

    OS: Windows 7 32bit
    BB Desktop Manager version: 6.1.0.35
    I bought a new notebook a few days ago and tried to install the above software (latest version) from Blackberry's website. The whole thing installed fine but when I tried to launch it after installation, I get the message:
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software has stopped working"
    I tried the clean uninstall with removal of folders and registry entries, rebooting it, running regsvr32 atl.dll and then reinstalling it and still I have the same problem.
    I had experienced a similar issue with my previous computer which I fixed by changing the permission and ownership of two registry keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion". But this time round, I found that:
    1) There is no "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion"
    2) I can't find a  "Desktop.log" in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop" but I did find it in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Logs"
    And this what it says:

    I have scanned through it and I can't find anything that says "fatal".
    Any suggestions? I am at my wits end after combing through this forum and other BB forums for the past few long days and nights.
    HELP!

    Well folks. I've had enough.
    The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
    I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
    Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
    Ciao folks!

  • I REALLY NEED HELP WITH MY CURVE 9300'S WIFI!

    HI !
    i have a blackberry curve 9300, OS5. I got it secondhand. It worked really great, but the problem started when I've done that thing within the host routing table. Though my wifi is connected, I can't use the internet. whenever I tried the BB browser and any other application (e.g. facebook, opera mini, etc.) i get a message that says 'i am not in an area that supports blah blah...' or 'unable to connect to internet please try again later'. I checked the browser under browser config and it is set to my local network provider. i changed it to hotspot browser, saved it. But whenever I go back it also goes back to my local network provider. i have tried almost EVERY troubleshooting I've read on this forums and in other forums but still no luck. The problem worsened when I did a security wipe on the emails, contacts, etc.
    -APN settings are disabled
    -default browser set to hotspot browser
    -firewall disabled
    -data services are on
    Everyone said that it has nothing to do with that activation enterprise so I did not configured it after wiping.
    I also tried doing a hard reboot (pulling the battery out and waiting for 5 minutes before turning it on) but it will only fix the problem for sometime and it will go back again.
    Calling my network provider would just suggest to get a plan when in fact, I was able to use the device's wifi well before without any plan.
    I don't want to upgrade my BB to OS6 coz it easily drains the battery of device and I cannot afford doing that because I go out a lot.
    I also tried changing my sim card and network provider but wasn't successful.
    I also tried deleting the name of my local network provider in the service book under options.
    What do you think could be the problem? Any suggestions? I really, really, REALLY, need help.
    PLEASE ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

    Hi miochan984,
    Welcome to the support community!
    A supported data plan from your mobile network provider may actually be required to use the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones application as well as the browser. I would recommend verifying with them which services they support over a Wi-Fi connection without a data plan.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Do I really need to Shadow Copy Backup Drive?

    I am running SBS 2011 Standard. Every once in a while I get "volsnap event id 25 (The shadow copies of volume \\?\Volume{4bac8e93-04ed-11e2-814f-90b11c020377} were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow
    in time.  Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.)".
    The referenced volume is actually my backup drive which is a "simple, basic, NTFS primary partition" without an assigned drive letter which is entirely devoted to Windows backup destination drive.
    VSSADMIN LIST SHADOWSTORAGE shows:
    Shadow Copy Storage association
       For volume: (\\?\Volume{4bac8e93-04ed-11e2-814f-90b11c020377}\)\\?\Volume{4ba
    c8e93-04ed-11e2-814f-90b11c020377}\
       Shadow Copy Storage volume: (\\?\Volume{4bac8e93-04ed-11e2-814f-90b11c020377}
    \)\\?\Volume{4bac8e93-04ed-11e2-814f-90b11c020377}\
       Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.094 MB (0%)
       Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.93 GB (1%)
       Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: UNBOUNDED (100%)
    which I assume means VSS is actually keeping a shadow copy of the backup drive (or trying to).
    My question is - do I really need to shadow copy this volume? If not would I stop this by the following command?
    VSSADMIN DELETE SHADOWSTORAGE /FOR={4bac8e93-04ed-11e2-814f-90b11c020377}

    Just did a quick bit of research on this and I think the error may be misleading.
    If you go into Disk Management, right click Disk Management, All Tasks - Configure Shadow Copies
    Do they show as Disabled on that volumeID?
    If I go into Windows Server Backup and check out the Details, I see (on this system) 70.63gb of Backup Items, and 186gb of Copies. Which tallies up with what I see under List ShadowStorage.
    So, what I suspect is happening (although happy to be proved wrong) is that the error above is VSC making space on your backup disk, or some other management process of the backups themselves.
    I expect if you delete that Shadow Storage you will in fact, be deleting the backups.

  • How much computing horsepower do I really need to use iMovie?

    How much computing horsepower do I really need to use iMovie effectively?  I'm trying to make a one-hour movie from HD camcorder clips and still images.  My iMac 24 with Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.33 GHz and 2 GB of RAM severely bogs down and regularly locks up or crashes.  Now that I've painfully managed to insert all of the video clips and still images, my iMac won't play the video back smoothly so that I can edit the work.  Within a second or two, the video either stops or becomes extremely jerky, while the audio continues to play.
    Do I really need an $8000 MacPro 12-Core computer running at 3.3 GHz, with 32 GB of RAM, twin, 2 TB hard drives, and a $1000 27-inch Apple display, or will something less costly work fine for producing videos?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Joe

    Thanks for your reply, Klaus1.  I'm currently running Snow Leopard.  I'd considered upgrading to Lion but was told, even by Apple, that I wouldn't be satisfied with its slow performance on my iMac 24.
    I have plenty of hard drive space with 160 GB available on my internal hard drive, but I've been storing the archived video clips and the iMovie projects on a fire-wired, external 2 TB drive.  Could it be that using an external hard drive for the iMovie project is part of the performance problem?
    A quick check on the Apple website shows that my iMac 24, which was manufactured in mid-2007, can support up to 4 GB of RAM.  I wonder if I should consider a RAM upgrade before upgrading the entire computer.  How big a deal is it to replace RAM in the iMacs?

  • Do really need to soft/hard reset after updating f...

    hello..
    i just wanna know do we really need to soft/hard reset our phone after updating firmware??
    btw im using nokia 5800XM..im updating my firmware from V50 to V51
    tq..
    Buy Original..See Original..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In my experience I've found that when I don't do the reset before and after I invariably have problems. For example when I updated my N97 to the v22 firmware the auto-rotate function stopped working properly.
    I actually also remove all apps and format the mass storage prior to the firmware update which ends up taking a ridiculously long time with the reloading of my media and maps but I now realize that I'll end up having to do it anyway so I might as well do it properly the first time.
    It could just be the N97 as it's such a hunk of junk but I think it's more likely that it's an issue with the update process in S^1.
