Get Blackberry to unleash the full power of the Q10 Keyboard.

About me:
* A  am a heavy Blackberry user and developer since the 7200.
* I Love BB Keyboard because it's a workhorse, it just gets thinks done faster.
My Feedback:
* Q10 is still missing lots of the keyboard Magic of the 9900 
How Can this be done....
#1 Home Screen Shortcuts
Long Press for phone speed dial, one key press for app shortcuts
Details
1. Just like we always had long press any key for speed dial
2. Give us the option to have the home screen function like a live search (as it works now)
or we can assign each key to a program of our choice (and use the "s" to launch the live search), like it was on the 9900, but make it better where we can choose what program gets launched using what key (before it was hardcoded and was not changeable by the user)
The current option in the search  is nice (like "bbm mark") but does not replace the direct key to program shortcut.  (it's not a conflict you can have both)
#2 Email Advanced/Saved Search
Message Advanced Search, with its Saved Search option linked to a hot key.
Details
on the 9900 if I wanted to search all my unread email from client "X"
1. Press M from the home screen (to open my email box)
2. Press Alt+O (or any saved key) from the message list (to bring up a saved search..)
that took me less than 2 seconds,
Now try doing that on the Q10 and let me know how many keys you have to press, and more 
important how long it will take you!! Actually you can't even do it since you can only search for 1 item at a time, I can't search for all emails where the "from address" is [email protected] and the subject contains "call me" etc.
How it should work..
1. Just Bring back what we had in os7
#3 Forward conditions
Forward conditions for mail box (what should be sent to device)
on the 9900 I was able to chose to forwarded or not to forward email based on a condition or to have it come in as a level1 email,  Bring back what we had in os7
#4 Email Body view
Html email view.
give me an option to show email in fit with mode, now it does not always fit and may be to wide.
#5 Black Background.
Black Background in calendar (and other) app.. its impossible to see my calendar outside in the sun
I understand you made it black to save battery life.. give me the choice to make it white and have a less battery life.
#6 Bedside mode
Bedside mode has no option to automatically go into airplane mode automatically (like we had in os7)
#7 Auto on/off
Auto on/off based on day or weekend..
Bring back what we had in os7
#8 Note List Search
Note list  (now "reminder") missing search option
#9 Camera App keyboard shortcuts
Camera app has no keyboard shortcut to change flash options, change from video to picture, swap to front camera  
#10 Contact List Category
Contact list is missing filter by category  
Bring back what we had in os7
#11 "Mark Prior Read" Keyboard Shortcut.
"Mark prior read" needs keyboard shortcut and is not working properly
#12 Power standby mode
now you only have an option to fully turn off your phone, i want close my phone at night but not close all my apps... like we had in os7
This can all be done without effecting the z10 or any other phone.
Summary
A Q10 Should not be a Z10 with a keyboard Glued on to it.
I know Blackberry put in lots of keyboard shortcuts, but they're not done yet.
I don't speak for myself, being the blackberry guy in my company
everyone comes to complain to me with all their issues..
Now please don't say.. well you can do that by pressing here and swiping there and tapping there.. let's make the Q10 keyboard work for us...
it's about getting the job done faster.. and more efficatintly
Something to think about on the next phone design,
the back key is sorely missed, it's a lot faster and more accurate then trying to get the swipe just right..
what would be a good idea for the next phone is to make a side button that can be programmed to do whatever you like, like we had till now but also can be programmed as a back button.. think about that  no loss of screen size.. and I still have my back button, you can still keep the swipe but give us the choice..)

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-downloas in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Just upgraded from Blackberry Curve to the Q10. Hate it. Any Alternatives?

    Just upgraded to the Q10 and it is honestly the worst phone I have ever owned. Cannot wait to exchange for another model TODAY! Any suggestions for other smartphones? Thinking about the Samsung Mini III

  • Serious problem with the Q10 wiping out all my emails on all email accountson BB & Servers

    having been using the BBQ10 for 10 days now and finally getting use to it and enjoying it.  I have been using BB's for years because I like it for my business.  But I work up today to find ALL my emails on all email accounts wiped out.  All texts and phone logs wiped out.  Ok could live with that BUT because of the new BB10 software that contacts you to  your email servers any changes you make with an email on your BB changes on your computer.  that means that every single emails on all my email accounts contacted to the BB have been deleted.  Saved emails, sent emails, new emails.  Everything.  I spoke with BB and was told they are aware of the problem and are sorry.  but i just lost thousands of dollars worth of orders because of this problem.  Anyone else have this problem?  any help?  
    On my old BB's there was a thing called Blackberry Protection and I had it set up to back up all data everday.  Now the Blackberry Protection on the Q10 and Z10 are for find your phone if you lose it.  It no longer backs up your data.  That is so stupid.  If I still had that I would not have lost all my info.   
    any thoughts or suggestions?  how can I keep the Q10 now if I cant' be sure it won't delete all my data anytime it feels like?

    yes, me too. gave my device back to shop but really loved q10 and would like to buy again when problem is solved. lots of users are reporting about this problem but blackberry dont care.

  • What happens to the function keys when i unplug the extended keyboard?

    i use my laptop (12 function keys) with a wired apple aluminum extended keyboard (19 function keys). i assigned a few functions (screen shots mostly) to the upper function keys on the keyboard... f16-f19. but when i unplug the keyboard i'm not sure how to get those functions on the laptop keyboard.
    what happens to those functions when the keyboard is unplugged? is there a way to map those functions to the keyboard so that they are re-assigned when it's unplugged?

    wilyliang wrote:
    question still remains: do f16, etc., exist or can they be re-invented once the USB keyboard is removed (besides having to re-map the shortcuts each time)?
    I haven't found a way, though there might be.
    or even: is it possible to assign two different key combos/function keys to a single command/shortcut?
    Now that depends on the application that's assigning the shortcuts. Some Microsoft and Adobe apps allow multiple shortcuts per function, I've taken advantage of those a few times myself. But cheaper apps often cut you off at one shortcut.

    I believe your camera uses a micro SD card. The CCK accepts the full size SD card. Do you have a SD card adapter to plug the micro into?

  • Extentrix Unleashes the Power of Citrix Presentation Server

    Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition Enhances Access to Citrix Published Applications.
    RAK, UAE. -- 10/10/2007 -- -- Extentrix Systems, FZE a leading software development company specializing in infrastructure solutions for Microsoft Terminal Services and Citrix application delivery products, announced the release of the Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition.
    Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition provides an extensive set of web services APIs that allows developers to integrate Citrix published applications into their products and portals. It enables users to access the Citrix application delivery platform by invoking open standard web services APIs.
    It works closely with Extentrix Web Services 1.0 -Management Edition which gives developers unlimited power to manage Citrix Presentation Servers Farms through standard protocols.
    Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition fully supports the latest Citrix Web Interface 4.6 protocol, packaged with Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 and Web Interface 4.6 and supports all features added in Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for Windows Server 2003.
    Extentrix Web Services APIs communicate directly with the Citrix XML service which enables it to deliver enhanced performance over the previous version. The APIs provide similar functionality as those provided by Citrix Web Interface, but allow for greater integration with ISV and custom applications.
    “Building on the fundamental open Web services standards, Extentrix has developed a great product that unlocks Citrix Application Delivery platform” said Matt Lull, Director of Global SAP Alliance. “Citrix is working Extentrix to utilize this great technology by developing new ways for SAP customers to access Citrix Published applications”
    “Extentrix has come up with innovative ways to unleash the power of Citrix Presentation Server and Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition is the fruit of our extensive effort” said Alaaeddin Jallad, Extentrix President and Founder “We are very encouraged by the success of our first release of Extentrix Web Services, which lead us to work on a more advanced version to fully implement the latest Citrix Web Interface 4.6 protocol”
    “Building on open Web services standards, Extentrix has developed a fascinating product that extends Citrix’s Application Delivery platform” said Matt Lull, Director, Global SAP Alliance. “Citrix is working with Extentrix to demonstrate how SAP customers can seamlessly integrate their legacy applications with their NetWeaver Portal and composite applications”
    Additionally Extentrix’s Widget 2.0 with Citrix Presentation Server supports the new released Web Services for easier access to applications and is available for download at http://www.extentrix.com/CPAW.
    A whitepaper outlining how to modify the Web Interface 4.6 to use Extentrix web services can be found at resources’ page.
    Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition for Citrix Presentation Server provides the following features:
    ● Enhanced Performance
    Performance is enhanced by connecting directly to Citrix XML service rather than using intermediate hubs like PNAgent site.
    ● Extra APIs
    Provide an enhanced list of APIs which grant functionality on par with Citrix Web Interface 4.6. New APIs include capabilities that help developers validate users’ credentials, get customizable information about published applications, launch them and more.
    ● Enhanced Error Handling Mechanism
    Say goodbye for unknown error exceptions. Errors returned back from the server are fully reported detailing the reasons. Implementing an effective error handling strategy ensures solving many issues like errors do no go undetected; applications do not terminate abruptly without warning or explanation, application stability is restored after an error, etc...
    ● Platform Independent and Simple to Integrate
    Since it is based on open standard protocols; it is simple to integrate it with any application written on any programming language, running on any platform.
    ● Simple Management Console
    Comes with an easy to manage Microsoft MMC snap-in console which helps users create new web services, edit existing ones, and browse & manage their web services. It functions as one management tool that is provided for both Extentrix Web Services Application and Management editions; it simplifies management mechanisms and enhances administration of Extentrix Products.
    A White Paper about Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition is available on the product’s page.
    Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition is available for download at Extentrix Site. Extentrix also provides developers with a test drive as well as examples to help them experience the power of Extentrix Web Services 2.0 – Application Edition.
    Extentrix has created a forum for the newly released Web services on its site; Extentrix Forum to encourage customers to share their experiences and problems for better support. Extentrix support will monitor the forum and answer developers’ issues.

    Hi Nicholas (is it?)
    I'm afraid I never completed the testing, a long story but the client thought allowing Citrix access over the Internet to non corporate machines was too unsecure.
    I'm curious though as to why your set up does work even if it is for a short time.
    I'm enabled Smart tunneling and this did provide the correct IP address of the Citrix Farm head, instead of the ASA acting as a proxy, you might want to try that
    Sorry I couldn't help more
    Cheers Tony

  • Will iOS6 bring the full power of Siri to the UK

    When are we going to see apple bring the full power of Siri to the UK.  I really like the voice interface on my iPhone (when it works) but it is pretty useless to us here in the UK as we only have access to a stripped down version.  Also, will iOS6 see apple finally introduce English Language support (I know they claim it already exists, but anyone from the UK who has tried to use Siri, knows this to be a lie)

    You've got to be realistic. Surely you know that the UK has some of the most diverse regional accents and dialects of any country in the world?
    Even native English speakers have trouble understanding some regional British accents and meanings for locally used words. Remember you're talking to a computer. Even the level of understanding it offers right now is pretty amazing for a computer. Natural language recognition is incredibly hard.
    It will get better with time, as Apple analyses all the accents and words spoken into Siri everyday.
    You've just got to be realistic with your expectations and the current "state-of-the-art". Just a few years ago, stuff that Siri can do was only in the realm of science fiction movies. Now, you've got it in a mobile phone for a few hundred quid.

  • My screen will dim and will not come back to full power until a reboot.  It also has what looks like 7 spotlights at the bottom.

    Help.  My screen will dim on battery.  Its a wieird dim though.  It has like 7 spotlights at the bottom and you can't get it to go full power again till you reboot.

    You have a hardware problem. The screen, cable or GPU is failing. Take it to an Apple store to be properly diagnosed and an estimate on the cost of repairs.

  • Can't Get Blackberry Onto The Internet

    Hi Everyone!
    Sorry if this has been asked before. I've been given a Blackberry Pearl on the T Mobile network. My SIM card is on Virgin UK so it lets me make calls and receive text messages but whenever I try to get on the internet it says there's a problem and to talk to my service provider.
    I've spoken to Virgin who said the following settings need to be entered but I can't find where to do it, all the places I've tried haven't worked. If I can't get on the internet with Virgin I'll have to move to another network, I just want to try everything before I have to do that! Thanks so much for any help you can give - Virgin gave me the below settings:
    GPRS:
    Name - Virgin WAP GPRS.
    Homepage - www.virgin.com/mobile/wap/
    IP Address - 193.030.166.003
    Access Point - goto.virginmobile.uk
    Port - 9201
    Username - user
    Password - leave blank
    Some phones need slightly different settings so, if those settings don't work for you, try entering the following:
    GPRS:
    Name - Virgin WAP GPRS
    Homepage - www.virgin.com/mobile/wap/
    IP Address - 193.030.166.004

    I got a text saying that I don't pay my bill, my service is going to get cut off by the end of the day. I don't have the funds to pay it in full, so I paid half the amount. Would that suffice? Or would I have to pay it in its entirety to save my service from being cut off?

    As it was pointed out making prior arrangements could of helped extend the time you need to get your account back in order..
    But if you have to have the phone and its the only thing you have to make calls, I would try other means ( Family, Friends, or other )  to get the rest of the balance payed and you can pay at a Corporate store using the stores Kiosk machine.!   You can pay with Cash, Credit or I think with a  check  but using a check I'd ask the Local store how the policy is on that..
    Hope that Helps.!  Good luck..

  • My iPad has a split typing keyboard near the top third of the screen.  How do I get it back at the bottom and full?

    My iPad's keyboard has jumped up to the top this of the screen and is split.  How do I get it back to it's normal position at the bottom and one full keyboard?

    Just to clarify this a little bit....
    Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    If you don't want this feature - You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • Upon start up I get a start up disk full message and to delete files, now I only get a a blue screen on start up. How to I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files?

    Upon start up I get a "start up disk full message, delete files". Now on startup I only get a blue screen. How do I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files.

    That;s really not enough free space... you can use a tools such as OmniDiskSweeper to find out where your large files reside and begin pruning (or copying to an external if they're files that you want to keep).
    One thing is certain - if you're going to continue your current usage you're certainly going to need to install a larger boot drive.
