Blackberry Travel - Charging in Euros instead of CAN$ !!!

I'm using BB Z10 and I used Blackberry Travel app to book a hotel while traveling in the US (I'm from Quebec Canada). The application has charged me in Euros instead of CAD or US$. I realized this bug when my credit card was charged in Euros. Here are my questions:
1) How do I correct this problem if I want to use the app for future reservations to make sure I get charged in the correct currency?
2) Who should I contact to get refunded for the difference? Note: the application indicates Euros when it confirms the purchase, so Credit card company might not accept the claim.
Thanks

The settings were okay. However, I believe I found the bug...
In the Homescreen Settings, I had selected French as the Language and Canada Français as the Region.
When I try to reserve a hotel in the Travel App (example Naples, FL), a list of hotels appear with the price per night. The currency indicates CAD (when it's actually Euros). Then when you make the hotel selection, you will see in the next page that the Euros currency is indicated with the same amount as in previous screen.
This error does not occur however, when you select English as the Language in the Homescreen settings, and you try to do a hotel reservation in the travel app, the currency is indicated in CAD and the amount in CAN$.
So, although I was charged in Euros on the credit card, the application misguided me because I thought the amount was in CAN $ when it was actually in Euros. I did get charged what I was supposed to get charged (amount wise) on my credit card, if you do the math (1.31 CAD/Euros exchange rate).
Hope this helps!

Blackberry App - Charged 5 times for App - can't get help

I downloaded this app this week and was charged 5 times for the app. Could not get an activation code. I contacted the support for the app and they gave me an activation code but said that I had to deal with Blackberry Apps to get a refund.
Blackberry apps is impossible to deal wtih. They do not respond to my emails. There is no phone number to call. The Blackberry refunds setup does not work - everytime I try it I get this message:
"An unknown error occured processing your refund reqest. Please try again later."
Any suggestions. I guess I am going to have to copy all my emails and send them by Canada Post to Thosten Heins to get a response.
Come on Blackberry - you have to do better than that. Other than this my Z10 is working great.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I do not know for sure what method for requesting refund you are using (there are some links to pages "out there" that I believe are not valid anymore), but the proper method is to ring up your mobile service provider and request escalation up to BlackBerry support. You might have to fight with your carrier...we hear "stories" all the time about the "training competence" of carrier agents. But that is the correct method to use AFAIK.
Good luck!

Can A BlackBerry Be A Regular Phone Instead of a SmartPhone?

Can A BlackBerry Be A Regular Phone Instead of a SmartPhone?

Hi Awesome805,
I apologize for the delay and I can happily address your concerns. A Blackberry can only be activated a Smart Phone, a data plan will be required upon activation. Is something wrong with your current device? Are you interested in a basic phone? You can check your upgrade eligibility by dialing #UPG. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you,

Blackberry Travel App - Can not load - stuck on license popup

Hi I hope someone can help me here.
I am running Blackberry Travel on a Torch 9800. I have updated the OS to the latest version and also the software version to the latest version but I still get the same message. Everytime I open the app the logo comes up in the normal splash screen then I get "Could not get the updated license agreement (Network coverage is not available, please try again later). I have full coverage and I am receiving email fine and all other apps are working OK. I have tried with WIFI on and connected and no difference. When I turn off all the connections the app opens and a different screen comes up indicating it is downloading the licensing agreement, however it gets not where. Once the connections are restored, its straight away doesn't go anywhere. Obviously its trying to download the License agreement you have to agree to when you run an app for the first time, but I can't get past this. Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Michael

Do you guys have something that is interuptting your connection?
Or maybe your device is doing intermittent connection drop analyse?
If you guys are running on 7.1 go to
Options > Device > Advance Sys settings >BB Device Analyser > Mobile Net Connection Issues > And press intermittent con drops then disable it

Can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?

can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?

Actually, the bb charger is a 5V, 750 mA charger (which would make it a 3.75W charger vs the 5W that Apple sells for the iPod). Therefore, I would think that my bb charger should work for both bb and iPod, but would charge the iPod at a slower rate, with little harm done to the gadget, but I defer to any opinion that would suggest otherwise?

Can I use my travel charger from older iPod on my new iPod touch? 110 charger it fits okay.

Can I safety use a travel charger (110) from an older iPod, for my new iPod touch?

Older iPods, i think up to the 4G iPods and iPod Mini allow Firewire & USB syncing and charging. (Except probably for the first generation iPod Classic"
The iPhone 2G (and probably iPod Touch 1G and iPod Classic 5G) will allow Firewire charging (Not Syncing).
Any iPhone from the iPhone 3G and newer (and also i guess iPod touch) will not charge from Firewire as far as i know.
So if your older iPod has a USB charger (Nearly all iPods have USB to Dock port chargers/cables) then yes you can use it to charge any iPod touch or iPhone.

Travel Charger unable to charge phone

Hello
I got a Duracell travel charger for my birthday, to use when im out and about and unable to charge the conventinal way. I went to charge my phone with it last night (plugged USB into travel charger and micro USB into phone) and it is telling me that the power source cannot charge my phone, please ensure that your computer is not in hibernation mode, i do believe its telling me that the charger is to weak to to charge phone, im not sure what that should happen because the Duracell charger was fully charged and it's main job is to charge. I've got the latest everything, including latest OS
Here is the charger: http://www.duracell.com/en-US/product/instant-usb-charger.jspx
and it clearly says it can charge BlackBerry phones
Is there anyway to fix this?
EDIT: I've been using the BlackBerry USB cable which it didnt like, and just used the Duracell USB charger (which tbh are exactly the same) and it works, so i think it only likes the duracell USB cable, no reason why tbh

The charging source connected to your Blackberry device cannot charge your battery

Blackberry Travel providing travel updates to an old BB I no longer own

I've owned numerous BB phones as I upgrade constantly. Recently, after adding a new trip to BB Travel, a friend of mine who purchased a Z10 from me received an update on her Z10 about my travel plans.
Before I sold her the Z10, it was wiped and she activated it with her own BBID.
Since she is the only one I know who purchased one of my older phones and is receiving updates, I'm not sure what is going on with the other BB phones I've sold in the last while (specifically, I've gone through a Passport, Q5, and another Z10 and I've returned to my carrier a few Z30's and Z10's in the last couple of years as well with no idea where they have ended up).
On the BB Travel web site, there is nothing to see what devices are tied to my account. The only element under 'Profile' is the ability to add email addresses associated with the account.
I tried logging into BlackBerry Protect and oddly enough the Passport which I sold 3 months ago (wiped before hand and the new owner activated it under their own BBID), was listed and I removed that from my account. However there is no Z10 listed.
Under BlackBerry Link, there seems to be an old Z10 still linked to my account which I can't remove (can't check the box) and states in yellow text beside it 'Device software 10.1 or higher is required for remote file access'. However, this seems to be a much older Z10 and not the one I sold to my friend.
And finally under BB World, if I sign in the list of devices includes 3 Z30's, a Passport, the Q5, and 4 Z10's. However, I've been told by BlackBerry Support that these are just a recent list of devices and technically not ones tied to your account (though I don't know how much I believe that is correct).
So, my best guess is that somewhere on BB databases, my BB Travel app account is still tied to my old PIN. The question, I guess, becomes how can I get it removed as I'm not keen on the idea that others are receiving updates to my travel plans. Having a friend see it is one thing but what about the others who now own my old BB phones?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The one thing I did try was deleting the app and tried to reinstall. However, for whatever reason the app will no longer work on my phone. After reinstalling it wont sign in automatically (as it has done before), and if I try to log in manually, it just hangs. Deleting the app, doing a hard reset, and then reinstalling the app didn't help either and I'm not keen on doing a device wipe just to fix BB Travel (as I'll just give up on it first).
Cheers.
P.S. While I couldn't find this mentioned on the BB Support Forums, this has been mentioned on CrackBerry though with no solution:

BlackBerry Travel doesn't recognize reservations of my travel supplier

Three weeks ago my travel supplier changed the format of the reservations and now it doesn't work with blackberry travel. How many time does BB Travel need to recognize a new reservation format or supplier? Other applications like WorldMate can recognize this format without problems. I think that BB Travel is a great application and I want to continue using it, but if this problem doesn't solve soon I will change to other application due to poor support.
NOTE: My travel supplier is Carlson Wagonlit Spain
Thanks in advance.

BlackBerry Travel no longer posting Trip Details to Exchange Outlook Calendar

I have two users (BES) who use BlackBerry Travel quite often. I verified this by looking at their calendars and by actually logging to to Outlook as them (since I am the admin).
Prior to the problem every trip had details. In other words, if you had a flight it showed the flight numbers and times. If you booked a hotel, it showed check in/ check out dates, details of the hotel, etc.
Now, for example, on a trip that is just a hotel, the user's calendar just says "Trip to Cleveland" on the Outlook Calendar. AND in the email notification from BB Travel, there are not details except a link to the trip in BB Travel.
What has changed and why. Most users in my business who use BB Travel need others to know more details when hey scan a travelers calendar. Also, the user themselves wants to see the details on their calendar like they used to when looking in Outlook.
I don't use the app myself since I"m chained to my desk and the servers. But I can certainly understand their frustration. I've googled my butt off trying to figure this out and have found NOTHING.
Anybody?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Before a user can view one of your calendar, they need permissions by following steps.
Right-click on the calendar you wish to share.
Choose Properties, select the Permission tap.
If Default has Reviewer permission you won’t need to add individual names to the list unless they need more permissions than the Default account has.
Click Add and select the names you want to share with from the Global Address List.
Give them at least Reviewer permission so they have Folder visible permission.
Click OK to close the dialog.
Repeat for each calendar you wish to share.
Once the calendar permissions are set, the user who the calendars are shared with needs to add the mailbox to their profile, as a secondary account.
Go to File, Account Settings.
Select your Exchange account and click Change.
Click More Settings.
On the Advanced tap, click Add.
Type all or part of the name of the mailbox that was shared with you. Select the correct name if presented with a list of names.
Click OK.
The mailbox you added is now in your folder list and the calendars you have permission to view will be listed in the Calendar pane.
Best Regards.

Ipod usb travel charger works with mi

interesting little find, so my wife got this external travel charger thingy for her ipod, you know for those times when you are away from your computer. the thing is cube-ish, plugs into the wall, and has a USB-A slot on the slide. you are meant to charge your ipod by pluggin in the usb cable. it also charges the shuffle. you plug the shuffle directly into it, but then i looked at it closer. 5v output with A. wait a minute. that's the same as my MICRO's travel charger. so i grabed my usb cable and my micro and hooked it up. and lo and behold, IT WORKS. so if you have an ipod, or shuffle, or know someone that has this usb travel charger, it'll work on your micro too. and you get one in the states for about $30 and they can be found just about any place that sells ipod crap.
just thought you'd like to know.

Blackberry Travel Calendar sync times wrong

Hello,
I am having a problem with the automatic calendar sync in the Blackberry Travel app. Some of my flights are sync'd at incorrect times but others (even within the same itinerary!) sync correctly. One flight was booked on the Air Canada website and the itinerary was automatically uploaded to BB Travel from the email. The other flight was booked by a travel agent and the itinerary was also uploaded automatically. In both cases, the departure and arrival times were off for 1 flight of the 4 in the same itinerary! Any idea what I can do to fix?
Thanks, Kris

I have exactly the same issue and really would like to know the way to fix it.

"Makeshift" Travel Charger He

I'm travelling to China, Vietnam, and Cambodia 2 days from today. Unfortunately, I did not plan ahead in buying a travel charger for my Zen Micro. I do have the wall charger with only the US plug. There are no local retailers in my area that sell the travel charger, and I don't have time to order one online. Will the standard charger work in Asia by adding on a plug for the specific country I am in (ie these: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2036266&cp=&origkw=travel+adap ter&kw=travel+adapter&parentPage=search)? Or will I need a voltage converter (I believe china is 240v)? Any tips/suggestions? Thanks!
-David

If you check on the charger that you have it should tell you what voltage range it can cope with: my Zen Touch one can do between 00-240v, so yours might be similar. Then if the mains voltage of the country you're visiting is within this range, you can just use the country's plug and your current charger. Obviously, if the country's mains voltage is outside the range of your charger, plugging it directly in without a transformer is probably a bad idea.

Downloaded safari 5.0.3 to my Windows 7 64 bit operating system. Now screen shows all money amounts in Euros instead of US dollars. How to correct?

I downloaded Safari browser 5.0.3 to my Windows 7 operating system (64 bit) on a desktop computer and now when I look at webpages that show money amounts (dollars and cents) they are all written in Euros instead of american currency. How to correct?

Rysz wrote:
So you are suggesting that Safari does an on-the-go conversion of currency? I don't think so. Safari just displays whatever is coded on the web site.
Localization (Windows settings) might be the culprit, as the user is re-directed to a web-site created for that region. It's also possible, that a foreign web site was chosen or suggested by Google.
Well he states that is all webpages that show any kind of currency. He can go to Control Panel> Region Options> Region & Language Configuration (something like that).
The onthe thing that makes me think that this could be a Safari issue more than a regional issue is that the OP stated that it downloaded Safari 5.0.3, which is not the latest version. This implies to some extent that the installer that was downloaded from a source other than Apple as it is no longer available in Apple's Website (the latest Safari is 5.1.4 which was released today), and there's no certainty on the region from where that Safari 5.0.3 installer was uploaded from which could have very well be a user in Europe; but that's speculation at this point.
Let's see how the issue works out for the OP and then move forward with other possible suggestions

Spam./Scam linked to Blackberry Travel

Somehow this morning without any interaction from me nor with my consent an email was sent from my work email address to "(personal info removed)@blackberry.com", cc to "trips_(personal info removed)@[email protected]; 66(personal info removed)@blackberry.worldmate.com", subject Southwest Airlines Confirmation J7(personal info removed). It was added to my Outlook calendar and added into Blackberry Travel on my Blackberry Z10 phone. My Blackberry ID isn't linked to my work email address; only my personal email address is. At my personal email address I received a confirmation email from Blackberry Travel that it was added to an itinerary. I immediately deleted Blackberry Travel from my phone. A scan of my desktop shows no malware or infection. My work uses Exchange and active sync and all inbound and outbound email going through a relay server for spam, malware and virus scanning. It wasn't detected nor blocked by that system.
This is very disturbing to me. I'd be happy to forward the email as an attachment if you'd like to see it. Would someone tell me how this happened so I can prevent it from happening again?

Before an earlier Travel app upgrade, this information below was hidden with the BB10 app, but it's since been removed.
Now, to find it:
Login to your Travel account on the web
travel.blackberry.com
Go to My Profile > Manage my emails.
At the bottom of that page you will find a personalized email account to which you can foward these to your Travel account. It will look like [email protected]
I place that email account in my contacts as "Travel" and foward travel emails to it for processing.
ALSO, in Travel on your Z10, you can turn on the automatic scan of incoming emails to be read by Travel.
