How do I lock my screen on Blackberry Bold 9900

I just got Blackberry Bold 9900 from Rogers can someone tell me how to lock touchscreen.
Thanks Steve Day

I'm just confirming that what Escon-eu said about not being able to turn off the touchscreen function is correct. The 9900's touchscreen is part of the essence of the phone and therefore has its touchscreen functions built in to the OS.
Cheers.

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!

It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

Some how I have locked my Screen and it will not rotate. I tried to unlock it double taping Home but it didn't unlock it. I'm sure this an easy fix but I'm a new iPad 2 user.

Some how I have locked the screen on my iPad 2 and can't get it to rotate. I tried double tapping the Home key but it didn't make a difference.

Double tapping the home button won't unlock your screens orientation. Double tapp the home button and swipe the bottom row of apps that appear and swipe them to the right all the way until an icon appears on the left side. It should be either a mute icon, or orientation icon. Hopefully, since your screen is not rotating, it will be the screen lock. Touch the icon and that should solve your problem.

The screen should be automatically locked by the proximity sensor when you put the phone in speaking position. Make sure that there is nothing blocking this sensor (like a case for example).

Go to Solution.

The only thing that i can think of would be physically unplugging the cable, however, the device would not function properly because there would be too little load on the circuity and certain components would not function properly I would believe because i broke a BB bolds 9930 keyboard flex cable and the device got way hot and shut off until i changed the keyboard. I believe the 99xx was designed to be perfectly balanced voltage wise and no components could be unplugged because of this.

Blackberry Bold 9900 OS software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

Helo Everyone
I tried to upgrade my Blackberry Bold 9900 device software from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but having difficulties. I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager but there was no version 7.1.0 listed among the available updates. Even when I tried to do it directly via the Blackberry official website, Version 7.1.0 was also not listed. Finally I tried to do the update with my phone directly by accessing: Options>Device>Software Updates.
It displayed my Current Version of 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and an available version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I Clicked Perform Update to download the new version it showed preparing to download but then displayed an error message such as "The download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using any of the following methods:Wi-Fi".
Meanwhile, I did not perform the upgrade with Wi-Fi because I have an active blackberry data subscrip of 2GB from my mobile network provider.
Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the latest Bundle.
Thank you all as i await your kind solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Blackberry Bold 9900 / Enterprise Activation

Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.
I have purchased the Blackberry bold 9900 smart phone couple of days ago.
Not an expert myself but expected better from our own IT Dept…seems that they need help themselves.
Not certain how to find enterprise activation icon on blackberry 9900 bold. Usually this is what I do:
Options>>device>>advanced System Setting>>Enterprise setting.
For some odd reason…enterprise setting is not there. It is not also under set up…just the web based emails setting.
I have tried the wipe out but nothing changed.
Would be grateful if someone could be kind please to tell me what to do.
Thanks so much for your time.

You can dowload the Enterprise activation App from the below link, but make sure that the your number has the proper data plan, and the device registered with your carrier.

Switch from BlackBerry Q10 to BlackBerry Bold 9900

I need to transfer from a BlackBerry Q10 to a BlackBerry Bold 9900 and retain the data in the Remember app on the Q10. Any idea how to do this?

Nevermind, I did some more searching, Googling, etc. and found out that BlackBerry is not able to be downgraded from 10 OS to earlier devices. A bit of a shame really. My boss had deciced he wants to go back to his 9900 and is expecting me to transfer all his data. Looks I've got a few hours worth of typing ahead of me.

@ericmor82
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free?
Now, leaving the device powered ON, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot.
What is the File Free now?

Adjusting the SIM card activation sound - BlackBerry Bold 9900

Hi there,
when activating a SIM card on a BlackBerry Bold 9900 on the newest available build of BlackBerry OS 7, for example if two or more SIM cards of the same provider are used with different devices, using the code *100#, a system sound reminiscent of the characteristic BIOS sound on a computer will be played, however this sound is too loud and there does not seem to be an obvious way to adjust the sound or at least its volume.
Is there any way to adjust this?
Thank you,

How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

How can I lock the screen on RMBP allowing applications to work.

I'm using my RMBP at work, when I go off to get lunch or any other time I'm out of my office for several minutes I want to be able to lock my screen. I want downloads in the background, or renderings to keep working while it's locked, but the only thing I've been able to find is to shut the lid, which puts it to sleep...
Control, Shift, Power turns the screen off, but any press of a key wakes it back up. I'm assuming I'd have to pass code lock the computer (I don't want to have to key in the pass code every time I open the lid, but I understand if I did)... how can I make it go to a password protected lock screen with out going to sleep.
In windows its very easy, window key + L, lock screen. Can I duplicate this functionality on a Mac?

Open system preferences and go to "Desktop & Screen Saver"
Select the "Screen Saver" tab, select a screen saver and then select the "Hot Corners..." button. You will be able to set hot corners that will start the saver when you move the mouse cursor to that location.
After you have setup the screen saver, got back to the system preferences top menu and select "Security & Privacy". You can change the setting to require your password to unlock the screen after the screen saver starts.

Hi! I really couldn't find no way to lock the screen, except pressing the top button (what only cancel any touch you do in the screen).
