Passport BBM group

I will be having a BBM group to see what others are doing with it. It's not a support channel but we might be able to help others. Do no post your BlackBerry PIN here. Send me a PM via the forums or send me a DM on twitter.
Can't wait to hear from other fellow Passport users.

BBM is BlackBerry Messenger, their own messenger service that supports one to one, multi and groups.
Its a fun way to stay in touch with people and I have made many groups in BBM over the years and keep in touch with 100s of peaople this way

  • Help with BBM Groups

    Hello all,
    My question pertains to BBM groups which isn't specific to either BlackBerry 10 nor BlackBerry 7 and earlier, and I was not sure which one forum location would be appropriate for this question, so I opted to post it to the Downloaded Software section in both the BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry 7 and earlier spaces.  My appologies if this was not "the right way to do it".
    My question is one that I also posted on CrackBerry.com forums but after some time it seems I may stumped the community over there with this one.
    Here is what I wrote over there:
    "I recently created two BBM Groups and posted them here on CrackBerry with minor fuss. Yay for me. In each forum post I included a QR Code / Bar code of each BBM Group so as to make them easier to join. Yay for me again.
    What I realised thereafter was that though this makes joining easy for anyone reading the posts from a screen other than their BlackBerrys, it does NOT make it easy for someone actually reading the thread from their BlackBerry and thinking to themselves "Oh hey, I want to join that group". At least, not that I can tell. I don't think it's possible to scan a QR code on your BlackBerry screen from the same BlackBerry, right? That's my assumption. If someone knows otherwise, please let me know, that would solve my issue.
    SO, if I am right in my assumption and one cannot scan a QR / Bar code from one's own BlackBerry when said code appears on the BlackBerry's own screen, I am looking for another way to make it easy for someone reading the post to just "tap or click here" to join the group, to make as easy for someone who would be scanning the QR / Bar code from another source.
    I tried getting the text URL for the group from the code and pasting it into a thread, but when it comes up in the CrackBerry app on the BlackBerry, the link is not clickable / tappable. I then tried adding the CrackBerry post editor tool's "Link" too to make the URL text an actual URL, though the only effect that had was that the URL appears clickable / tappable in the BlackBerry's CrackBerry app, but tapping / clicking on it has no effect. After making this change I tried to view the same thread post in my browser both on computer and on the Z10. When I click it DOES react but on the Z10 browser I just get a message "Unable to open bbg:<yadda yadda>".
    So I've shared a lot of detail but the point I am really focused on is "is there a way for BlackBerry users to be able to join my BBM Group, on their own, as easily as if they had scanned the bar code, when all they have access to is the phone itself, and no outside media from which to scan the code"?
    I am trying to avoid things like "Send me your PIN" and such because that just creates so many more steps and acts as a barrier to entry. Similarly, I don't see myself telling the reader "Just take this bar code you see here, and arrange to print or display it somewhere other than on your BlackBerry screen and then scan it".
    Any input on this would be most appreciated!"
    Essentially, I'd like to be able to post something that a BlackBerry user can look at on their BlackBerry, and tap / click on it, and boom they're done (i.e. they are at the same place they would be if they had instead just scanned the QR code).

    I think there is a case for it. With any luck someone from BlackBerry will see the suggestion and will pass it along.

  • BB Z10 BBM Group updates and notifications not showing up in Hub?

    BBM Group updates and notifications not showing up in Hub? The notifications are turned ON in Group settings. And all BBM notifications are enable in the Hub, still nothing shows up. Picture comments, addition, status updates simply dont show up. My device is on 10.0.10.58. 
    Any workaround? 

    vijaymalhan, in your Hub settings > Hub Management, do you have BBM set to ON?

  • Z10 BBM Group not functioning

    I'm hoping that this gets fixed when 10.1 comes out, but in the meantime...
    There are two other family members with blackberries, so we figured we'd set up a family bbm group to communicate easier. Except, I can't join the group we made. We've tried both getting my phone to join an existing group (which I never seem to recieve the invite for) and creating a new group (where the phone tells me I've reached my maximum amount of bbm groups...but I have no groups, at all)
    BBM seems to be buggy in general for me, ranging from being extremely slow when being accessed directly from the app (not from the hub), and alerting to an update when there is nothing listed in the 'update' tab. It has also stretched the screen in the hub when I tried switching to landscape (though it fixed itself within a couple seconds).
    Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to do? Please let me know if I'm missing crucial information.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am sure 10.1 upgrade can fix it. While waiting for it, I have solved my issue by joining the BBM Channel Beta Program! That upgrades my BBM client and it works smoothly since then.

  • Bbm group message problem

    Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse me if some of my questions seem odd.  I have two questions about using bbm groups.  A group previously set up and used frequently for past year or so now no longer is working.
    Specifically, when I go to the group I show up as 'available and there is an icon of a key next to my name. The other members of the group show up as 'unreachable' and when I highlight each individual the message is 'you are disconnected from John in this group'.  Each of the other individuals are able to chat amonst each other but can't connect to me.
    Each of the other members have been re-invited and have accepted the invite but I get the same error.  Any thoughts and help would be appreciated?  Also is there a list of the various icons that blackberry displays anywhere to be found?

    The 'key' icon indicates you are an Administrator of the Group.
    You need to assign another member as an Administrator of the group, and then you leave the group, Wait a couple of hours or more, and have the remaining Admin re-invite you to the Group.

  • No photo preview in BBM Group??

    When a photo is sent to the BBM group, it is not showing up within the dialogue.  I can only see the photo by backing out and going to the "Updates".  On my Torch the pictures would show up within the dialogue.  One of the group members with a Z10 says he sees received pictures within the group dialogue.  Any assistance with this issue on my Z10 would be greatly appreciated.

    Still trying to figure this out.  Thought the new update might help but alas it did not.  Anyone have an answer.
    Thanks!

  • BBM Group Chat Message Retrieval - Help Make a Mother's Day!

    Hey folks,
    I recently returned from a trip abroad and while away I sent to my family various messages to a little BBM Group my younger sister help set up of what I had done the previous days. For some reason that remains to be seen, the default setting on BBM Groups is keep messages for 3 days. Needless to say, there were a few messages that my mom really liked and wants to save, but she isn't technologically inclined and they have since disappeared from her phone.
    Is there any way to get these messages back? Perhaps a phone restore to a few days ago or something? Or is there someone I can call at BB or my carrier (Rogers) to get them to retrieve it? Surely it's saved on a server somewhere.
    My mom woke up this morning stressed beyond belief that she's lost one message I sent in particular (the one reflecting on the trip as a whole) and she would love to be able to save it.
    Thanks, and to the mothers out there: have a happy mother's day!

  • BBM Group Chat Question

    BBM group chat question - from time to time, additional chats show up in our group that have no messages in them. When someone posts in one, the whole group sees it and the admins can delete it, but otherwise they tend to be localized to one or two members and we can't remove them. Is there a way for a non-admin to get rid of one of these chats? My understanding is that if I had started it that I'd be able to delete it but since I'm not the creator I don't have this option. Thanks.

    Group chat is not supported yet.

  • BBM Group Calendar to Outlook

    How do i get a BBM group calendar to update to my outlook calendar?  I have tried everything I could think of but cannot seem to make this append.  I have the blackberry desktop software release June 7, 2011 bundle 34.
    I want to add that i have the Blackberry Curve 9300 3G  
    Thanks for any feed back at all as this would be great to solve this issue.

    For the default calendar  where is this in the options?  I dont have ADVANCE options but i will do a littl more research.
    Find your main Options icon on the homescreen... could be called Settings or Tools or Options.
    Then, Advanced.
    I honestly don't know if the Group Calendar can be synced to Outlook. I will ask a friend.

  • BBM Group Messages have year 2045 date stamp

    Hi
    My 9630 puts BBM group messages with a year 2045 date stamp. This places the messages above my other messages and is a real pain.
    How do I correct this, please?

    Hey SinaOwolabi,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Can I have you check the date and time in the BlackBerry smartphone under Options> Display> Date and Time?  Also is this issue only happening with BBM group messages? 
    Thanks.

  • BBM Group vanished and I cannot rejoin

    I created a BBM group and added my friends a couple weeks ago. A couple days later I was booted from the group even though I was administrator for the group. So I got my friend to send me an invite and I got back in. Today I was booted again and I cannot rejoin the bbm group because it says I'm still in the group. Has anyone had this happen to them or know how to fix it?

    Ask your phone carrier why you can't send a group text.
    that usually requires MMS.
    are you provisioned to use MMS?

  • BBM Group Administrator

    I created on BBM group and was administrator to that group.  After that I changed my handset and removed myself from the earlier handset.
    Now in the current handset, I am not the administrator and in the previous handset, I dont have the group...so now the problem is that we dont have any administrator in that group.
    How to get back my administrator rights of the group?

    Hey,
    Ask someone from that group to remove you from the group and then invite you to the group and then you go to the group and press BB button go to 'Adminstration' then select 'Make me am Adminstrator'. It may ask you to enter the password if you kept one.
    Cheers

  • BBM Group hacked

    Our BBM group was hacked, Admins lost there admin rights and all data and pictures within the group were  lost. Is there a way to prevent this from happening in the future?

    Hey armani-zn,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I have never heard of this happening.  Since the BlackBerry smartphones are very secure, i'm not sure how this other person duplicated your PIN.  I would suggest to tell your contacts to remove that other bogus contact.
    Cheers.

  • BBM GROUP COMMENTS

    My comments on my BBM Group in some chat rooms are not posted sequentially. I have ensured date and time are accurate, yet no change. e.g posted comment shows 2016

    shows 2016? what is the 2016?
    There are times, I have seen, that some comments maybe delayed in BBM Groups due to BBM server delays, your own mobile connection(s) slowdowns, etc. Since BBM Groups sync between devices, it's hard to pinpoint the exact reason.
    On your Z10, what is the signal indicator at the top right... 2G, 3G, 4G, etc?
