NFC and Blackberry

Hello
Bought today a new Thinkpad Tablet 10
Was chuffed to find out it had NFC . However, whenever I try to send a file from my Blackberry Z30 to it (e.g. a picture) my phone says File Service Not found.
Tablet and phone buzz like they are connected.
Has anyone elese had this issue, can you offer any suggestions?
Richard

Right out of the gate, your carrier has to authorize NFC on your phone. BlackBerry builds it into the phone but if your carrier doesn't support it, it won't show up in that carrier's OS version.
Not to worry, though, because I believe most of the major carriers support it. The next thing you need is a specific app to get the NFC working. Just like if your phone has GPS; if no app makes use of the GPS, it just sits there dormant. As an example of here in Canada, Rogers (my carrier) supports NFC so I can use it however I don't have an app installed to make use of it. At present, only CIBC (a bank) has an app for NFC and I don't bank with them. You might also require a special SIM card in order for your NFC to function properly.
So, carrier support plus an app (from your carrier and/or a bank or other interest) plus perhaps a special SIM card and you'll be on your way to spending all your money using only your phone.
I hope that helps you.

Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

Outlook and Blackberry Calendar

I really want an calendar that will sync with my blackberry that I do not have to go online to use. I'm thinking of purchasing Outlook 07 for my laptop. My question is, I realize this is an email program also. I do not have to be online to manage and use the calendar part of the program, right? And outlook does sync with a blackberry (I have 8900)? Thanks for the help.
Edited to correct grammar and now I'm editing because I realize what I've said is confusing. So here is additonal explanation.
I knew I didn't explain that well enough. I know that I can sync with yahoo calendar and google calendar with my blackberry. I want to be able to share info between my device and my computer. I have no problems using google or yahoo calendars on my laptop. They are both excellent calendar programs. The problem is the internet is not really reliable at school and also they have gotten much stricter about which sites we can access and which ones we can't. I've heard that yahoo is now off limits so that means that calendar can't be used at school. That leaves google calendar which is fine just as long as the internet isn't down. There are times when I have my laptop available and not my blackberry so I do want my life on my computer also. If I can't get online on my computer, I'm up a creek. So in essence, do you have to be on the internet on your laptop in order to access the calendar functions in outlook?

Hi Kairo'sgrammy!
Outlook 2007 will sync with your Blackberry just fine. You will have equal calendars on both the PC and the BB.
Two big changes to think about.
1) When syncing with Yahoo or Google online calendars, you have immediate transfer of data. If you updated Google
online calendar, or your Blackberry it would synch automatically, and vice versa.
2) With Outlook the synchronization takes place when you run the desktop manager sync program.
Example. You enter a meeting on the Outlook PC calendar for a 9:00 apt. Later you use your Blackberry
to enter an appointment for an 11:00am meeting. Both appointments are not visible on either calendar
until you run the synchronize program. I usually run it a night after work. All appointments from the PC and
Blackberry calendar are synchronized on both devices, and reflected for the next day.
You synchronize the Outlook calendar and the BB calendar through the default email address on both.
Let me know if this makes sense!
Thanks. Someone on a delphiforum mentioned that you can sync google with outlook so if you are wirelessly synced with google on your blackberry phone, that might work to update outlook. I've got outlook on order and amazon is sending it via pony express, LOL, so I'll be able to figure out more then. Whether it does or doesn't sync wireless is fine with me. Syncing physically and daily works for me. The sync does work well with google and blackberry as far as calendar stuff goes. It won't sync memo stuff or task stuff wirelessly. If I want google to know a task, I put it in the calendar seeing as I schedule most tasks anyway. If I don't, I get too wishy washy about them.

Can I transfer the entries in my calendar using NFC and S Beam to another Galaxy III?

Can I transfer the entries in my calendar using NFC and S Beam to another Galaxy III or is there another way?

Hi Jcrumet!
Fantastic question! I know its important to have a device that can help make daily activities easy. Let's get this resolved. Yes, NFC through Android Beam lets you instantly share URLs, contacts and calendar events with other Android Beam-capable devices. Are you having issues completing a transfer? If so, what is the specific error message that you are receiving? Just to clarify, are you wanting another way to send a calendar entry to another galaxy 3 device outside of NFC/S Beam? Keep me posted.

Mac Mail and Blackberry

Apple Snow Leopard 10.6.1. On a Mac Mail (which is connected to my gmail account) as soon as I'm starting typing e-mail in Mac Mail my Blackberry is receiving that partial message. That is happening even without pressing SEND key. Blackberry is constantly receiving that message (when I typed this message it received partial message 35 times) and a few times even I'm not touching any keys on computer keyboard. This message is showing only on Blackberry and nowhere else. Talk to Apple, my Bell-wireless provider and Blackberry. Nobody new what is going on. Never this happened under OS X Leopard. Only with new OS X Snow Leopard. Do not know what to do. Please help.

try the following
go to mail > preferences > account > select the account and go to mailbox behaviors> uncheck "store draft messages on the server"

I suspect that you are using the Forwarding option within Workgroup Manager, and this works outside of the postfix alias scheme. I think you should just set those users you are forwarding to, to normal mail users, and put their forwarding rules ALSO in the alias file, so you would have:
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: alex,yong
alex: [email protected]
That should do it. You really have to commit to either using Workgroup Manager or Postfix in their entirety. They don't really work too nicely in conjunction with each other.

IPhone 4 bluetooth won't pairing with my MacBook Pro and Blackberry

I just bought an iPhone 4 few days ago, but seems I'm having an issue in pairing my iPhone with my Blackberry Bold 9700, and the worst part is I can't even pairing it with my MacBook Pro 13" 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. All devices has been in "discovery" mode, but my iPhone can't recognize any of those devices. On the other side my MBP and Blackberry recognizing my iPhone, but can not be pairing.
Anyone could help me on this? I've been trying to search for the answer in the forum but can't find it. I found some subjects regarding iPhone bluetooth issue but can't find the answer of my problem.
Thanks,

Just sync, I'm not sure what else it is suppose to be able to do as I am yet to achieve a connection.
I am assuming it should be able to sync my library, playlists, etc.

NFC and AIR Development

I want to start experimenting with writing apps that with with Near Field Communication (NFC) and I see that (in 2011) there was a lot of talk about AIR 3.0 being able to access and use the NFC in NFC-Enabled devices. Well, I just bought my Google Nexus 7 tabet, which is NFC enabled, and want to start to experiment. Can ANYONE show me one piece of information on the web that shows how exactly to get AIR apps to pick up and read NFC information when hovering over one? I see all the videos and talk, but no mention of which libraries you use or an example of how to code for it. Thanks!

The right place to look for updates on Flex is http://flex.apache.org
The good thing is that activities are still going on. The bad things are that:
- Unless the dependency to Adobe air is cut, Flex as an open source project is bound to fail imho. See FlexJS for updates on that point
- Current activties seem to be focused around making things more polished rather than working on hard stuff (typically developing an independent and open source runtime execution engine => flexJS)
So...
For a small company, home development, not so business critical applications, I recommend warmly Flex, since it is one of the best (if not the best) cross-platform mobile development environment (Very good performances if used appropriately, very good programming environment, lots of components, structured language, lots of documentation and tutorials, easy to design, etc.)
for business critical applications... The risk is high !

When will single edition apps be available on Android, Amazon Fire, and Blackberry Playbook?

When will single edition apps be available on Android, Amazon Fire, and Blackberry Playbook? This is very important as we were told we would soon be able to publish on all devices and not just using the in-app service. My company is currently using the Professional Edition of Adobe DPS.
Thank you and best wishes,
Alex Rullo

Single-Folio-Apps (created with the Single-Edition or a professional licence) include the folio itself — resulting in a big app size.
Currently, the Android Market has a 50MB limit for .apk-Apps. (http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=113469)
At the Google IO this year they talked about raising this limit up to 4GB, but that is more complicated. the app itself still has 50MB of allowed size, but there are additional data handled by the android market that can be downloaded upon starting the 50MB .apk app from the android market.
that targets games mostly. Adobe has to think about a way to split up viewer and content to make use of this feature.
However, Multi-Folio-Apps are currently possible (only with Pro Edition) on Android. They are relatively small (2-5 MB) and the .folios are comming from the adobe servers (download costs!). You need to create a new role/magazine in the account administration and publish your app as a multi folio app.
