Help with my new Blackberry Tour!!!

I am very new to the whole blackberry family. I just brought the tour about 4 days ago. The very 1st problem I noticed was that the screen acts as if it is going 2 blow out or something. The 2nd is that when I tried to open up my camera it would not let me because it said that I needed to close up my applications when they were all closed up. The 3rd problem I've seen is that when my slacker radio is in use it skips to the next song when it wants 2 which uses up all of the 6 skips it gives me. The 4th is also when the slacker radio is playing it will stop playing the song that it is currently playing. The 5th is that it wouldn't allow me 2 dial *86 so I can call 2 check my voice mail or dial any other option were I have 2 access those symbols. Has anyone else out there with this phone go through any of these same problems with their Blackberry tour? If so is there any sort of help or suggest any help for me other then take it back & start all over again because I really like the features & capability the phone itself has but it would be even better if it worked like it is suppose 2. If so I thank you very much in advance.

1) Contacts are tied to a Microsoft account for syncing purposes but you can use alternative accounts instead. I have my contacts linked to a separate Gmail account that only contains those contacts to keep it clean. You can filter the contact list to only show contacts from selected sources. If you want to clean up your MS account you can do that via outlook.com.
2) There is no need to drop the resolution, it will automatically reduce the size for you when you MMS the picture. It's designed that way to be simple to use. If you want more control you can find 3rd party camera apps in the store.
3) Microsoft hasn't implemented profiles in their OS, what you see is what you get.
4) Older phones were great when it came to battery usage, sadly modern phones with large screens just aren't as good for usage. You can improve it by seeing which apps are allowed to run in the background and blocking any that you don't feel are needed.

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced. I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced. My current one is working OK but does stick a bit. Seems to get worse over time. My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem. Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen. My wife has the Tour as well. She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it. It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts. When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse. Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster. As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster. If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play. My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine. I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this

Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium

+Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
Thank you for any help..

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

Issue with brand new blackberry

hello guys
iv just bought a new blackberry from my local phone shop and stupidly said to the guy i would be able to set it up as im a techy guy (usually fixing every one else's problems) and being a iphone user, mac, windows and android i assumed the blackberry would be as easy..... but i was wrong it seems
so a little back ground, im on the 3 network, with "all you can eat" data as my tinternet (which coveres my blackberry, bbm ect)
i cant set up my blackberry pin or ID or anything on the device (therefore the blackberry world dosent work nore anything else) it keeps telling me the phones not connected to the network (when it clearly is if i can view the bbc or any other random website i choose) i can install apps through the browser though
this is on wifi, on the phone network it dosent even go that far
the error when trying to sign into blackberry ID - unable to connnect with blackberry id. please sign in now (stupid question as i cant???)or try again later. data services are required for blackberry id and can be turned on in the mobile network settings
any ideas at all?
thanks guys

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Start by getting your voice services (calls, voice mail, SMS) working...without those, nothing else will matter. Make 100% sure that those are working via the carrier network (turn off WiFi to be sure) before you proceed -- bypass any prompts or anything else it requests concerning data (e.g., skip over the BB ID login). If they are not working, then ring up the provider for assistance.
After voice services are working, then with a strong carrier network signal (again, not WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Help with my new curve please

I am hoping someone knows the answers to my questions! Thanks in advance if you can help.
Just got a new blackberry today as my other curve died today. Got a new curve.
I liked the way I could put more icons on the screen down the left side and then across the bottom. Can I do that with the new one? I also couldnt' figure out how to put an icon on the home screen . currently I have a couple emails, calendar and contaccts and I'd like the browser to be there. How do I do that?
Facebook. I downloaded the free app but now can't really find where it is andhow to get it to be an icon on my home screen. when I go to download it , it says i've already downloaded it.
thank you!

Couple of things to do carriemn.
1. Look here for the steps to change themes on your device (see if the Dimension L is listed): 9330 User Guide
If not there, you can also google something like "Blackberry OS 5 Dimension L theme" and see what you get back. There are lots of websites that have free or paid themes that you can download. Just be sure that it is a theme written for OS 5 since that is what you are running on your device.
2. Try looking in all the folders on your homescreen for Facebook. It may be there and you haven't found it yet. If not, try a battery pull. Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc. See if Facebook icon is there after the restart.
When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too.
Write good notes as you go so you can refer back to them if necessary. Let us know how it goes.

Big problem with my new blackberry passport

i have been using blackbeery passort for 10 yrs now
i bought new blackberry passport
its been 29 days and today it wont start up
it keeps rebooting and wont start
please help help help
also which number do i ring for warranty
thank you

Try and use Link to reload the device software. I'm not sure if you will lose your personal data or not, but my guess is you will. No worries if you have a backup.
If you can't reload the OS with Link, use an autoloader. (See stick at top of Passport forum.) You will lose your data on the device with this approach.

Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"

Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
Thanks in advance!

I've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:
Original Image:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3045/td1ja9.jpg
Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/959/td2hq7.jpg
It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.

Please help with a new dual purpose PC build

Hi everybody in AdobeLand!
I've been reading various boards and hardware sites and have started piecing together a dual purpose computer system. It will be used for both video editing (of pre-shot hacked, high bitrate I-Frame Panasonic GH2 DSLR and camcorder footage using the AVCHD codec @ 1080p 24 and 30 fps) and webcasting/streaming purposes. I would build two computers for each task, but it's just not in the budget right now. I'm already stretching things as is.
I'm still not sure if I will be using Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas Pro 12 yet, though it seems like they organize their folders and file structures about the same. Adobe's cloud service has me a bit scared off right now. This new scheme feels like they have their hand purpetually in your wallet, which does not sit well with me. I may still go with Vegas 12 just to avoid that hassle right now. Help guide me here, experts! Telestream's Wirecast is being used for multi-cam switching and graphics for live and pre-recorded material being compressed and streamed.
Back on topic:
Here's the build as of right now...
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit Professional (Windows 8 absolutely sucks!)
CPU: Intel i7-4930k 6-Core Ivy Bridge (own)
Motherboard: Asus P9X79 Pro (own)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 1.35v Sport DDR3L @ 32 GB (own)
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 FTW w/ 4 GB (will buy another HD monitor at a later date, hence the 4GB memory)
Case: Fractal Design XL R2 Full Tower
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 w/ SE2011 Bracket
PSU: Corsair RM1000 Quiet Series / 80 Plus Gold / 1000 Watts
Monitor: Dell U2412M Ultrasharp 24 inch / 1920x1200
Optical Drive: LG Blu-ray Writer
Keyboard: Microsoft 4000 Ergonomic
HDMI capture cards: Blackmagic Designs Decklink Mini (x2)
Storage:
I bought two Samsung 840 Pro SSD drives: one 128 GB and one 256 GB
Thinking about possibly 2 (maybe 3-4 if I really stretch) Seagate ST3000DM001 3TB HDD's.
I could sure use your help with any advise on arranging the storage to get the best bang vs. buck in speed and storage utilization (Wirecast can be setup to record live webcast sessions at 720p or 1080p in compressed files... probably no more than 120 minute webcasts... so that comes into play as well). Just don't have the funds for an uber-expensive RAID controller card right now.
Any opinions overall on the parts for the current build? I still have time to send back and exchange anything already purchased.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

What do you not understand from:
With all the reading and writing going on, on the boot disk, it is understandable you need a (number of) dedicated disk(s) for video editing, especially with the bandwidths required when the clip duration is short and the number of tracks exceeds one and uses a codec more complex than DV. The kind of files used during editing are, in order of their need for speed:
Media cache & Media cache database files, created on importing media into a project. They contain indexed, conformed audio and peak files for waveform display.
Typically small files, but lots of them, so in the end they still occupy lots of disk space.
Preview (rendered) files, created when the time-line is rendered for preview purposes, the red bar turned to green. Read all the time when previewing the time-line.
Project files, including project auto-save files, that are constantly being read and saved as auto-save files and written when saving your edits.
Media files, the original video material ingested from tape or card based cameras. Typically long files, only used for reading, since PR is a non-destructive editor.
Export files, created when the time-line is exported to its final delivery format. These files are typically only written once and often vary in size from several hundred KB to tens of GB.
When you are doubting which category of files to put on which kind of disk, especially when using both SSD's and HDD's, keep in mind that the speed advantage of SSD's over HDD's is most noteworthy with the Media cache & Media cache database. These files are frequently accessed, are small and there are many, so reducing latency and seek times and increasing transfer rates pays off by putting these on a SSD, rather than on a HDD, even if it is a raid0. Export files can go to the slowest volume on your system, since you only export once. To help you decide, I have added priority rank-numbers for speed, with 1 for the fastest volume and 5 for the least speed-demanding category.
and
Well, in the benchmark tests we have not seen any noticeable difference between SSD and HDD in terms of performance, but logic dictates that there should be a small difference in performance when the volume used for media cache is a SSD, because of the much faster access time and lower latency compared to a conventional disk. If it is noticeable, it is specifically on this volume with the media cache and media cache database, due to the large amount of small files that need to be accessed and written. This argument does not apply to the media volume with a limited number of files, that are very big in size.

Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9

I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
Thank you,

Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
split
public String[] split(String regex)
Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression. This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

I need help with my new LG G2. I dial *611 but it will not recognize my phone number

I am having trouble setting up my new LG G2. When I dial *611, it will not recognize my number, and the 800 number refers me back to the *611 number. There is no live chat available on the website, so I am lost. Is this any way to run customer support?

It seems I am about the only G2 customer support you'll fund unfortunately. Chat is available on the support site after logging in to My Verizon on the web, but you have to click on Contact Us at the top right of the page then choose Live Chat and then Help with My device and then look to the right and wait for the red dot to turn green. *611 will take you to a screen where you can launch My Verizon or Click to Call which dials the customer support number. Unfortunately chat is about as useless as waiting for a rep to respond in the forums. Calling is the only way to get started and work your way up the chain. Going to a store is a hassle. What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't activate the phone or set up your Google accounts or what?

Help with installing new graphics card

Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
Orginally had a ati hd radeon 2gb (not sure what model)
in it
after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon
I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card
Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac

Hi,
The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
     http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
Probably you are talking about the following card:
    http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
(a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
(b) Install driver for new card
Hope this helps.
