I try it many times still sticking 3/4
OK...so I guess that you mean it could not get into Safe Mode at all.
maciller wrote:
cud it be the battery tha causing this problem
It could...if you suspect that, then this test can help determine if it's the case:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "known good" and "new" are not the same thing...while rare, a new battery can be defective. Rather, the best (and least costly, btw) method to do this is to find someone with an identical BB that has no problems...trade batteries and see what happens.
Otherwise, you may need to try these more drastic attempts:

Then again, if the problem is hardware, then no amount of anything we can advise you to try yourself will be of use...only evaluation by a qualified technician with the device in their hands can give you a proper diagnosis and estimate (if the cause is hardware).
Good luck and let us know!

Using Mac 10.4.11 with Blackberry Playbook

hello everyone
is there any way that i can use my playbook with my powerpc imac 10.4.11
pleas any help would be grate seeing as i am very poor and just spent everything i had on this playbook only to find out i cannot sync it to my mac!
It would have been able to find this out prior to purchasing my playbook but i guess there is a sucker born every minute and so far my experience with Blackberry SUCKS!

Assuming that the Mac isn't a G3, you only need to purchase a newer Mac OS X version on DVD(10.5 for PowerPC Macs and 10.6 for Intel Macs.) Mac OS X 10.6 is free for paid MobileMe members.
A MacBook is an Intel Mac.

Help BB desktop manager is encroached in my system and doesn't want to go away

Hi, I'm using Windows 7 Pro. I'm no longer using a RIM BB device. The problem is that I unistall the blackberry software (using the unistall option provided by the program), but then when I copy, specificly FLAC music files, to my android device (windows see the android device as a camera device with no drive letters assing), the blackberry desktop manager tries to run but since it was "unistalled" it returns an error. It tries to run up to 5 times and after that the files get copied. If I want to copy many flac files at once the blackberry desktop manager tries to run 5 times for each file. I first check with windows device manager and found two entries for rim blackberry under ports and remove the drivers but the problem repeated. Then I use a disk search utility and found many blackberry residual garbage files and proceded to delete those as well but the problem persist. Then I use a registry utility and found many RIMBB, RIM, Blackberry residual registry entries bloating the registry and proceded to delete those as well but the problem continues. At this point you can see that the unistall tool provided by Blackberry suck because it left a lot of garbage in your system. I also tried using CCleaner but it didn't found anything related to blackberry. So some sorft blackberry garbage leftover is still encroached in my system and since I use the unistall tool, remove the drivers and there are no files with the name RIM, RIMBB or blackbery on the disk and no more registry keys with those name can be found how do I get rid of Blackberry for once and for all???? Here you can see a screen capture of the windows with the error message: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/edil/rimbberror_zps1tpkoiwq.png

Hey I was able to solve the problem!!!! Using the disk search utility I searched for *{BE5B0450...45b}* the string of characters that appears in the error message. And there where 3 directories with that name. I deleted those directories and now I can copy FLAC files without problems. I wonder why companies are so inrresposible and don't provide an unistall option that remove all their stuff from your system. Leaving a disk and registry bloated with garbage that you no longer use.

*** HELP -- My phone sucks !! 8130 Blackberry (HELP)

Can anyone tell me why in the world blackberry would create such a SUCKY phone??
I mean it has a 2.0MP camera (FOR WHAT?????) I mean seriously if you can not send picture msg's to other cell phones why give us a camera at all?
E-mail? okay its got e-mail SO WHAT --- I can check my mail at home!
Web Browser --- Ok i can surf the net.. but i cant DO ANYTHING!!
** TRY BIDDING on yahoo?
** try INSTALLING Flash or Java
** try playing games?
** try viewing avi, mpg, or any movie format on movies.com!
(( ok so the NET is not THE NET -- atleast not on my phone)
SMART phone??
Pretty Friggen STUPID if you ask me.. i think a childs phone would be better.. atleast the childrens phone can SEND PICTURE MSG's
(( CALL ME 989-280-9639 )) or e-mail me [email protected] (OR TEXT ME - just dont include a PIC!!)
oh that reminds me -- MY PHONE dont have signal 99% of the time (BUT MY WIFE's phone sitting right next to me --- SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That's a pretty common (and irritating) issue actually.
Fortunately it's pretty easy to fix. Might sound stupid, but as was already mentioned, you just need to keep connecting and unconnecting the headphones over and over again until it starts working properly. 2 or 3 usually does it for me.

New Blackberry 10 Sync to Outlook

Most every business is using MS Outlook for their email. I cannot understand for the likes of this, why the Z10 Link software does not offer this very important feature???
When out on the road we take notes and make new email entries. When we get back to the office, it is critical that we have an easy way to get the phone synced up to our email system on the computers. Having to take the time to manually type in the new information in to Outlook is another loss of valuable time when we are rushed to get things done.
I know of a fair number of business associates and also clients who are putting off getting the Z10 because they need this feature. They are doing many emails and taking many notes during their mobile activities. When they get back to the office, it is a quick process to sync their present BB phone with Outlook and get their work done.
I cannot understand who would think of leaving out such an important feature!
I remember when the Playbook came out there was no built in email client or spell corrector. It was bug riddled in many aspects on top of this. Because of this RIM lost out on big potential sales. The early versions of the Playbook were useless to non Blackberry users, because the only practical way to get email done was with using the Bridge mode.
Now they came out with a top qualtiy high tech business phone, and there is no local email sync capability to one of the world's most popular email programs. This is like throwing a crowbar in to the works! Also having sync capability to Thunderbird is another big plus to have done.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Last evening I spent about 2 hours cleaning up my 1500 contacts in Microsoft Outlook 2010, ensuring, numbers were inputed correctly, deleting older contacts, adding new ones. Making sure my calendar was updated, and also my notes. I was preparing for my Z10 that I picked up this morning.
Perhaps it was an oversight on my part, perhaps I assumed that since Blackberry Desktop has synced my desktop Outlook for the past 10 years that it'd be no different with the Z10.
Was I ever wrong.
I thought I downloaded the wrong software with the BB10 Link, but I looked again, and I looked everywhere in the softawre. I was nearly going out of my mind until I did a few google search, and there are literally hundreds of posts in the last few weeks regarding this no sync issue. I guess I wasn't the only one who found out the hard way.
I love the device, it's quite awesome. The internet is fast. It's well designed. I'm not crazy about how the new BBM works since I like seeing all the BBM contacts in a window rather than only seeing them in contacts or when I click on create new message. But I could live with all of that.
I am not about to export my contacts into a CVS file, then upload them to my GMail account and then have it synced with my new Blackberry.
There are millions of users who use the desktop software to sync. I agree with the OP, how could this be that big of an over sight for users at RIM?
At the end of the day, I switched back to my BOLD 9900 and have returned the Z10. Despite every great aspect of it, the syncing option was definitely a make it or break it for me to use the new phone. I already carry an iPhone around as my multimedia phone, so not having all that extra jazz on my Bold sucked, but at least it worked as my primary phone for business.
This seriously a collossal over sight - Blackberry - Please fix it!

Blackberry controls and midlets

Midlet meets blackberry let the battle for who can use the escape key begin!
If you're having trouble mapping keys from the blackberry to your midlet..this will definitely help you!
in this post I go over: Adding menu items to the blackberry menu, and gaining access to undetected keys such as the Escape Key.
First of all, that **** menu how do I add stuff to it?
Well...that in itself is a hastle but lemme just say, that menu
is in a nutshell a CommandListener. Same freakin menu. Later on in this post I show how to map the escape key..and i'm guessing pretty much every other key...of course
the only key I ever had a problem with was the EscapeKey/HangUpKey

}now keep in mind, I took this from a nice little example MIDlet called DemoMidlet inside the BlackBerry JDE
so it's not like they didn't make an effort. I mean I pretty much took it out of their examples located in
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0\samples\com\rim\samples\device\midletdemo
but lets face it...some of us like to use the Canvas Class...so showing us how to use it with a Form not exactly helpful.
All I did was the same thing it's just I made a canvas, and implemented the CommandListener, then swapped their form for my canvas.
It freaking worked like a charm. I mean I didn't really use that alert stuff...as it wasn't necessary, but it's a nice demo to learn from.
Part 2: The Escape Key!
The first and only problem I noticed when porting over to the blackberry was the lack of certain keys
that I truly enjoy and need. I guess blackberry decided to just not implement them
into the MIDlet canvas class?
I mean they did a great job at figuring out how to map the entire qwerty keyboard, but when it comes to the Escape Key
good luck!
So after tearing my hair out I found a solution...which i'm guessing everyone else also found but i'm posting this
cuz well..what if you're tearing your hair out right now...calm down take a deep breaths this is currently working on the BB 9000
jde emulator.
First of all I know this sucks but if you want to use that lovely escape key you're going to have to implement the BB KeyListener.
I know WTF MAN!? "first i code the whole thing using keylistener/commandlistener now I gotta use some stupid BB KEYLISTENER!?...just who does blackberry think they are?"
well heres the thing, I tore my hair out for like 12 hours straight trying to get around this...but after giving it a rest it's not such a big deal.
Steps
1) you have to grab the blackberry net_rim_api, and add it to your wireless toolkit.
the path is:
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0\lib\net_rim_api.jar
what I did was copied the file and pasted it into
C:\WTK2.5.1\lib\ext
once you have that inside your ext folder in your project settings you can enable the external package, this way you can build
using the RIM API.
in case you wanta take a glance at that headache it's : http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/4.5.0api/index.html
to enable it simply open up wtk, go to project/settings/External API's and check it off...take note that the wtk 2.5 generally comes with
Nokia SNAP Mobile API so i'm guessing it's a normal thing to do with MIDlets. Also if you check off Bundle..that's not too good it includes the API
with your package...which is really only helpful if you're trying to include some of that junk which really isn't necessary as the reason we're doing this in the first
place is cuz blackberry wanted to be cool and have their own proprietary keys....
Anyways check that off and continue to step 2.
Implementing Key Listener with the Canvas Class! :-)
2) This part is so easy...
import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
public class myCanvas extends Canvas implements CommandListener,KeyListener{
String thekey = "no key pressed yet";
public myCanvas() {
Application.getApplication().addKeyListener(this);
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(255,255,255);
g.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
g.setColor(0,0,0);
g.drawString(thekey,0,0,Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
public boolean keyDown(int keycode, int time)
                thekey = String.valueOf(keycode);
                repaint();
            return false;
        public boolean keyRepeat(int keycode, int time)
             return false;
        public boolean keyStatus(int keycode, int time)
              return false;
        public boolean keyUp(int keycode, int time)
               return false;
public boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) {
      if (key == Characters.ESCAPE)
         return false;
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s)
///YOU DON'T NEED THIS! I just left it here, in case you wanted to also use the blackberry menu to do stuff...in this case
//well the command is shown...and it calls the run method of the class you add the command to. My previous example
// used the command GO, and i made a private class...so this would cause the run method to execute when the user hits enter on go.
     // if ( c instanceof Runnable )
          // ((Runnable)c).run();
}i'm gonne be honest with you, the function public boolean keyChar()
I don't know if that actually works...I just don't want to recompile without it cuz I just got over this headache..so I left it there.
According to most people you use that to check if the key == Characters.ESCAPE and if it does then you do some stuff.
Also you don't need the command listener, I just left it in there because well..if you're like me and you use the blackberry menu, you're pretty much
going to use the CommandListener on your canvas to check to see if the user hit enter on a menu item.
The function that matters here, is the same function Midlet coders are used to.
instead of keyPressed it's simply keyDown
so basically you're importing the package
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
which allows you to implement blackberry's keyListener which gives you access to all the keys vs. a limited amount of them.
now blackberry went all out as you can see. You have to have keyDown, keyUp, keyRepeated...it's kinda rediculous.
but no worries, as long as you make sure that Display.setCurrent(yourcanvas);
or you use one of those to give the canvas control...you'll be fine.
It works because in the method for creating myCanvas()
or whatever canvas you'll be using, it calls Application.getApplication.addKeyListener(this);
and that little command gives your canvas the ability to listen for blackberry keys such as escape.
the current code will start displaying the keycodes for each key...and apparently keys such as ESCAPE
can be labeled properly. I love this because I can map the hang up call key to destroy my midlet, or even the escape key.
Unfortunately every keycode displayed is in like unicode or some stupid format, so that's my guess as to why the Escape key is not detected by the normal
canvas keyPressed method.
Anyways you're done this should work...now if you're having trouble using canvas and you're like "but I don't use canvas" idk man...
I use canvas...cuz I think programs should look cool. I'm sure this works without the canvas...on a form or something.
But don't be fooled, you're not limited to KeyListener, you can also use TrackWheelEvent and all kinds of stuff. So just like the choices for CommandListener vs. keyPressed
Blackberry has other choices as well.
And they said merging the API's was a bad idea...shucks, how else are we supposed to use the freaking escape key.
--JavaLover53
P.S. I marked this as a question cuz I want people to really take a look at this. Make some comments, I love this forum
and I really feel that this topic is not covered on the internet. A lot of naysayers, and when I found the solution I was like "that's it"
"that's all I had to do?" "well then wheres the freaking tutorial!
seriously people had me thinking I had to extend the blackberry UI when this is all I had to do..such an easy task
that other people claim is ridiculously hard.
Go ahead make your comments, lemme know if you know something I don't, i'm here to learn! :-)

good writeup, however i found this only working when you're not running fullscreen

I've lost my yahoo email access on playbook and yahoo says it's BlackBerry's doing - please help

It's now day 2 of no playbook mail. I kept getting a yellow triangle saying yahoo account not available or couldn't access.

If so it seriously sucks, as my internet provider is Rogers, just like many people, and Rogers uses yahoo mail. Can someone p,ease confirm and help with thus?

All you can do is delete the account and add it back taking care with the account details.
If people with Rogers email accounts say their Playbook works fine then it ain't the Playbook OS, it's the way it interacts with Your playbook and Your Rogers account. It's in the settings I would think, but everybody with email problems should delete and re-add as first line of attack.

Tethering the Playbook to a Non-Blackberry Smartphone

Warning - I'm a Tech Journalist - Whatever you say can and will be used against you
I've been told that a Playbook can be tethered to most smart phones for email. Unfortunately the people who told me this weren't technical enough to be able to explain how, and my readers aren't so much interested in the capability, as in the nitty gritty details of how it works, and precisely what type of hardware the phone needs to have to be used for email tethering.
I've wasted an hour so far fighting with both the main website, and with the RIM corporate phone system. I'll tell you straight off that both suck big time. On the other hand, they aren't any worse than Apple's, and they are a hell of a lot better than what Microsoft has.
So, the questions are:
1) How does email tethering technology work?
2) What hardware does the phone need?
3) What software does the phone need?
4) How do you set it up?
5) What question didn't I ask, that I should have?
I always toss in the last question, because you know your product far better than I ever could. And while I've seen and touched a Playbook, I haven't actually really used one yet, so I really can't claim to know very much about them.

OK, well, unless you can get back in touch with him, your 'known' options are above.
And you're question is not really clear, anyway. You want to "tether" to a non-BlackBerry smartphone for email... let's say an iPhone, to view your email ON the smartphone? No, not happening.
You want to "tether" to a non-BlackBerry smartphone for email... let's say an iPhone, to view your email your email via the web browser, again like logging into your Gmail account? That could be possible. But again, why not just use the WiFi connection.

Blackberry Desktop Software and Palm Desktop v6.2

I am a happy new Blackberry so far, but have come across something that is very annoying. I am attempting to move the data off my Palm TX, but the Blackberry Desktop does not recognize the version of the Palm Desktop software that I am using.
What is making this difficult:
It appears that I have an unsupported version of Palm Desktop (at least from Blackberry's perspective).
I do not have the option to go to an older Palm Desktop version. Older versions do not run on Vista.
I do not have Outlook.
Any thoughts?

Go to Solution.

Well, I finally got my Palm data transferred. First, I was pleasantly suprised that Yahoo actually does have support for the Task List, which was the only thing I thought it was lacking. I performed a sync of my BB with Yahoo and saw that a test entry of each type was uploaded to Yahoo and vice versa. Therefore, my problem was then a matter of getting the Palm data up to Yahoo.
Approach 1: Use the Yahoo Sync tool with the Palm Desktop.
Result: Didn't work. Yahoo Sync doesn't support Palm Desktop 6.2.
Approach 2: Save the Palm data to an archive file and use the Yahoo Import tool.
Result: Didn't work. The file format for Palm Desktop 6.2 was not supported by Yahoo.
Approach 3: Dig a flaky notebook out of my workshop and install an older version of the Palm Desktop.
Result: I got the Palm Desktop installed, then noticed that this notebook had Outlook on it. I synched my Palm with Outlook, then installed the Yahoo Sync tool. Performed a sync and all my Palm data was sucked up into Yahoo. Went back to my Vista machine and ran the BB sync and all the Yahoo data came down.
Finally!
Thanks for all your help.

Why since installing newer firmware the camera and video are missing features and pictures suck?

Since installing newer firmware you can no longer set the resolution for and pictures suck. Also can not zoom in on video. How can I go backwards with the firware?

Do media cards suck the life out of your battery?

I just inserted a media card to my bb curve last night, and my battery was dead this morning when I woke up (it was next to fully charged last night). Anyone know if the media card sucks battery life? I'm pretty sure all the applications were closed. And, I don't think the phone shut down when scheduled either, so I'm wondering if something is running in the background now. Any advice would be appreciated.

No, a media card won't do that, in itself.
However--inserting a media card does cause the device to scan, index and create cache files, and thumbnails of the files and images on a media card, still not enough to drain a battery.
It is very likely only coincidental, and you probably did have something running in the background like an open active browser page or application.

App to control Blackberry from PC?

Is there an app or utility that will allow you to control a blackberry - use it to dial-out, answer email, etc.? I have a ceo user with bad eyes and large hands that in a perfect world can operate his bberry via a netbook or tabelt pc.

Hi, I'm having the same issues with my eyes, so I've been hunting for an answer to this. So far I've found an app that can help but it's $39.99 and I believe that's for only one year. So if anybody else can suggest a cheaper method or something free please let us know.
As for this app, you can download it and try out the trail version for a few days. I've attached the links below and a youtube video that demonstrates what it can do, good luck to your ceo, I feel for him, not being able to look at the cell phone screens sucks!
This is a link to download the app to the Blackberry (the Blackberry needs to be connected when you're doing this)

I haven't tried this out, but I think it's possibly the same idea, good luck!

Return to Blackberry Tour

I'm ready to return to my beloved Blackberry Tour but my LED screen is shot and it won't get the internet any longer! Please, please, please fix it so we can set the phone to turn off and on at specified times. Why are we going backward with this? Also, I agree, the touch screen sucks!

The Tour??? The model with the dodgy trackball?? Go for the Bold 9650 if you don't want any touchscreen, or the 9930 Bold Touch if you can stand having a touchscreen. At leas the 9930 has a trackpad and the familiar navigation buttons. But please, don't say Tour!!

Blackberry Bold 9650 versus the Tour Bluetooth Volume

I had the Tour and the trackball broke.
It was replaced with a Bold 9650.
I was using a Blueant speakerphone.
Volume was loud with the Tour.
I would say its barely adequate with the Bold.
When OS 6 came out, I installed it after about a month.
It caused a problem with a work program and I downgraded it. (Yes the volume on Bluetooth was awful with OS 5 and 6 I downgraded the software 05-06-11)
It's now Platform Version: 4.2.0.424 and Application Version: 5.0.0.975.
If I pair any bluetooth device to it, the volume sucks.
If I then pair the same device to any other bluetooth phone a friend has that is not my Bold, it works good, the way it did with the Tour I had.
Enhanced Audio does doodly squat.
Bass Boost, Treble Boost is the same expectation "let down".
Changing the Media Options for louder volume does not do anything for my bluetooth call volume.
I don't understand why any other bluetooth phone or my previous Tour had/have such a louder sound than this Bold.
