Love my blackberry but really truely starting to hate it!

Okay,
so I moved from Iphone to Blackberry 8820 because my iphone started to piss me off (i hate touch screens)
I bought my blackberry from email its the 8820 Att version and I am using it on the tmobile network ( I called att and got it unlocked).
one of the reasons that I got the blackberry is because the gps feature, I travel a lot and having a gps in my phone sounded like an AWESOME feature.
The gps in the phone never locates a sattelite I can let it sit there all night and it will never find it. I went in to the Options - > advanced options -> gps and made sure that it was enabled. when I do the refresh so it will try to locate a sat. it shows all zeros.
I dont want to pay $10/mo for gps service if I am already paying $20/mo for a data plan, I have tried taking out the bat. waiting for 30 seconds and that didn't work either.
I paid garmin $100.00 so I can download all the maps to my 8gb sd card but it still doesn't work.
Please help me so I can fall in love with my blackberry all over again.

The in phone unit is not very good in the steel and glass canyons of a city. It should work in the areas with few highrise structures though unless the reciever has an issue.
That is why I purchased this.
It works great and is really not that expensive. I just hooked it onto my laptop bag and turn it on when I hit the rental car.
There is only two reasons to ever get into this field either as a hobby or a career, frustration and fascination. Unfortunately no matter which one has led you here today, I guarantee it will eventully lead to the other.

You'll never get me anywhere near a BlackBerry ever again. They do have plenty of functions, but they also have some of the worst computer-human interactions of any device I've ever seen. It's like it was designed by an alien race that hates homo sapiens.
Heck, I couldn't even reliably grip my BB without hanging up on people, because some super genius decided that the button on the side under your thumb was a good place to locate the "End Call" function.
No web access and no DUN profile meant I had to keep a completely separate device around for web surfing. And it's supposedly nifty push email can only access ONE email account, namely my work account. Fine if you're a corporate IT drone. For the rest of us, not so much.
There's no way anyone can tell me that a device that lets me read REAL emails on MULTIPLE accounts and view REAL web pages isn't better.
Doubtless, Apple intends to update the phone further, and I'm looking forward to it. But it's already the best smartphone I've ever used, just for having software the isn't brain dead, like most of them are.
PS. Don't even get me started on Windows Mobile devices. Yuck.

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
I got a new laptop Windows 7. I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully. However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

Hey tgcraighead,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
After the installation did you restart the computer? If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

MuVo TX FM works on PC but won't start on it's

Hi Guys,
I have a Creative MuVo TX FM that works well when it's plugged in the PC but would not start on its own (as an MP3 player). So now it's demoted as a mere flash dri've.
So far here's what I've done:
. Upgraded the firmware (MuVoTXFM_PCFW_LF__23_03)
2. Tried doing the recovery mode but the "New Hardware Found" dialogue box would not appear (instead the taskbar baloon "This device can perform better" appears), also installed the "Mass Storage Device" drivers (MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250)
3. Cleaned the contact point / ports in the battery module and USB dri've
4. Used a spare batter module to check if it's the one failing (I have another TX FM that seems to have died already)
5. Batteries are new, been buying around 8 batteries already thinking that it's a power issue... using Panasonic's Digital AAA (LR03 (T))
Still no avail.
I really love the functionality of the TX FM (File organization is really nice and it looks really great!!!), but after 2 mishaps (less than 2 years, both we're purchased almost the same time, and failed almost the same time) it's really starting to bother me if I would choose Creative as the next MP3 player of choice.
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
Still got the problem, just some minor updates.
Mananged to actually do "recovery mode" using Windows XP SP2... here's the procedure:
. Wait 'til taskbar baloon "This device can perform better" appears... if new "New Hardware Found" dialog box fails to appear.
2 Run the Firmware, it will prompt you that it recognizes a device under recover mode.
I was hoping that after sucessfully doing the recovery mode would resolve everything... but alas the Muvo Tx FM still fails to fire up on it's own. I tried probing the battery, the connectors inside (dismantling the battery module), and the battery module port / terminal (middle terminals?), I'm getting consistent .5V... that would scrap battery module problems right?
Any leads? Really desperate of getting this fixed...
Would really appreciate any help,

This is my first mac, it is a macbook pro. i restarted it but when it started back up i saw a white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. anyone else have this problem?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro, this is my first Mac. I restarted it, but when it started back there was a plain white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to do this manually like with PC's?

The new Mac's came with OS X Lion 10.7 and there are no boot disks.
Since it's so new, take it back to the Apple Store and let them deal with it.
If not you can hold Command and r (as in rotten) keys down and boot the computer.
You'll be presented with a several options, including one to reinstall OS X Lion provided you have a Apple ID, which means you have to use Safari in there to set one up. To do that you need to set up a email account with Google or Yahoo. Once you get the ID, then you can download Lion and reinstall it.
It's so stupid not having a copy of the OS on hand to perform your own repairs.
Of course Apple will be happy to sell you a $69 Lion USB stick.
Like I said, take it back to the store, and try to get your money back, that will force them to think about just giving you a replacement machine that works.
Lion doesn't work really but it can be acceptable until the patches get released.

Compiling on xp is no problem but I cannot start my appletviewer

I can compile on xp but I cannot start my applets, in DOS
example :
c:\BIN> appletviewer balloon.html
c:\BIN>
After this nothing happens..
I mean it does something but it does not start the applet.
I tried everything looking up in the advanced browser configuration but could not find any problems there.
It does compile and seems to accept the appletviewer command but does not execute it like it is supposed to.
I really hope that u or someone else has a solution to this problem.

Hello abbas_bokhary,
Have you tried running some of the standard demo Applets with appletviewer? Or have you run your Applet with Netscape Browser?

Systemd/user unit enabled but not auto-starting

Hi,
I enabled the systemd/user devmon unit but after login it shows
~> systemctl --user status
● marchine
State: running
Jobs: 0 queued
Failed: 0 units
Since: Fri 2014-05-16 01:10:37 CEST; 2min 53s ago

~> systemctl --user status devmon
● devmon.service - devmon Service
Loaded: loaded (/home/a/.config/systemd/user/devmon.service; enabled)

which I find strange because apparently the enabling worked but also manually starting devmon causes no problems at all:
a@marchine ~> systemctl --user start devmon
a@marchine ~> systemctl --user status devmon
● devmon.service - devmon Service
Loaded: loaded (/home/a/.config/systemd/user/devmon.service; enabled)

I'm not saying that I surely made no mistakes in configuring systemd, I'm a newbie after all, I just can't really tell which part exactly causes the problem here.
Thanks, y

Strangely devmon.service does not appear in the log of the boot process at all. However, it says something about the user session at some point, if that helps:

But after starting devmon manually, the log says something about multiple instances:

As I said before, I found a workaround which does it for me at the moment. I'm happy about any new informations which may help me to deal with similar problems in the future, but it's no emergency.

Blackberry Q5 Woun't Start

i just buy this blackberry q5 2 days ago. First day the screen got blue and it restarted by itselft. And now it wount start up. i've triend to connect it to blackberry link and reload, and push the power button for 10 sec, but it wount start. Please give some advice

Never heard such a probem ! According to me you got 2 solutions :
- change your Q5 with a new one where you bought it
- don't change your Q5 and try to solve this issue by yourself :
- your phone's battery is full ?
- Is your Q5 charging when plugged to your pc with USB ?
- Did you try another USB slot ont your computer ?
- Did you try to delete then re-install the Blackberry drivers on your pc ? It mays solve your issue
Hope you will find a solution

Love my touch but no iChat?

Have been waiting for an iPhone- waiting for exchange support, so hoorray that is coming. But decided to get a Touch in the mean time, and really love it. But why no iChat/IM app? This that is coming?

At the recent keynote announcing the SDK, activesync support, etc., they demoed AOL chat. You'll have to wait until June when software version 2.0 and 3rd party apps appear.

I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ?

I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. I don't want something with a very steep learning curve, getting to old for that. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ? Are there some others out there? When I was still in the Windows world, I used Photoshop Elements but that is now in my past. Any ideas?

Pixelmator or Gimp are both nice tools for advanced image processing and compositing. I.e. Gimp can do pretty much the same as Phtoshop. You might also have a look at digikam http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/binary
Digikam is not just an advanced image processing and compositing program, it is also content management system like Aperture or iPhoto.
I also find GraphicConverter a nice tool, but it is not free.
If you want your image editing tools to integrate well with Aperture, I would look first at the available plug-ins, start with the plug-ins offered in the Aperture pull-down menu
Aperture -> Aperture Plug-ins...

Anyone help me?

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.
