RANDOM FOREIGN ADD REQUESTS ON BLACKBERRY MESSENGER

For the last few days i have been receiving loads and loads of random add requests on bbm from people that I don't know and that I have definitely not given my pin to. I am quite careful not to display my pin on any social networking sites and am quite confident that my friends will not have passed on my pin.
Is there anyway I can get this to stop or block them from trying to add me because I am getting anywhere up to 50 adds a day from complete strangers who appear to be from a different country!
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

Someone else might have posted "their" PIN on some BBM buddy site asking for friends, and gotten it a digit off.
Go to Options > Security > Firewall and set the firewall to block PIN messages all except those in your address book.

How to add BlackBerry Messenger Contacts?

I recently purchased the BlackBerry 8300 World Edition phone and found the online tutorial to be quite useful. Unfortunately, I find myself stomped because I want to add contacts so that I can commence conversations on the BlackBerry Messenger network. Can anyone advise how to add contacts and send a message to them?
Regards,
Babb
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In Addition:
Once the invite is accepted, they will show up in your contacts list once you open BB Messenger. To start a conversation, just click on the selected person and start typing.(the typing window appears at the bottom). You can also send files between contacts. It's a cool little program. I use it more than I thought I would.

Hundreds of unwanted BBM Add Requests per day!

I started getting BBM requests from people I don't know in July, and at one point it was up to 500 a day.
I deleted BBM from my phone but I still get the requests, they just go into my Messages folder now.
They come up in red, and some of them say <$RemoveOnDelivery,SuppressSaveInSentItems>BLACKBERRYMESSENGERINVITESTAGE2
Has anybody else experienced this? I've tried googling it but haven't found anything.
Is there any way that I can block my pin from receiving any add requests? It's driving me mad!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Remove your PIN from any websites you might have posted looking for BBM buddies.
2. The messages in RED are as a PIN message. Removing BlackBerry Messenger won't remove PIN messages.
Go to Options > Security > Firewall and enable the firewall to block any PIN messages to your deivce.
Below that, click "Except messages from Contacts" so that you do not block friends in your contact address book already. You'll see the proper settings when you see that screen.

Strange Text in Blackberry Messenger

Anyone else had this..Started getting strange characters in the text when using Blackberry Messenger.
Totally random...sometimes it will be fine and then it will start randomly changing characters....hard to show here as I can't type them..but as if it is typing foreign characters...
It only happens in messenger.

Fonts are stored in several places, for example:
HD/System/Library/Fonts
HD/Library/Fonts
Home/Library/Fonts
Home/Library/Font Collections
The easiest way to sort them and avoid duplicates etc, is to use Font Book.app which you will find in either your Applications Folder, or in the Utility Folder.

Unable to open Blackberry Messenger Conversations

I can't open my Blackberry Messenger Conversations! When a friend sends me a message, I can the message in my mailbox, but am unable to open it... when I try to open it I'm relocated to the messenger conversation that I last sent my friend, but unable to see/open their response.
Also, I'm unable to add any contacts to my BBerry Messenger... when I try to add a contact, I'm taken to my address book. When I try to select a contact to add I do not have the option to "Request by Email" or "Request by PIN."
Help! This is so frustrating!
Thanks so much!!!!!!

Hi
I am getting the same problems as well, although my BBM was working fine up to a week ago when my Blackberry dumped all my messages due to storage overcapacity. I have resolved this since by deleting unwanted files such as photos.
Did you get any solutions to this problem as it is annoying as I can only read the last sentence of the conversation?
Thanks

Help !! Using Blackberry Messenger cross-border

Help - I am a UK use of a T-Mobile 8310 GPS and am trying to connect via messenger with a friens who is on a Rogers Telecom BB in Canada. I can add her as a contact, she can send me BB Messenger messages with pics but cannot receive my replies and I cannot initialise conversations.
Any ideas??
I have spoken to my carier and they can't help - she has spoken to Rogers - Ditto !!
There must be a simple solution
Thanks

I would recommend doing this...
1. Both of you delete the other from your BlackBerry Messenger as a contact.
2. Remove any open conversation between the two of you either device
3. Both of you do a full reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
4. Confirm that neither of you is listed in the other's BBM contact list and that no open conversation remains.
5. One of you add the other back as a contact in BlackBerryMessenger... let the other receive and accept the request.

This thread has been closed and is continued in this new thread here:
Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1
Please click on that link.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. There's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please let's keep it to feature requests with simple short statements and comments, in this manner:
1. Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
2. Personal distribution groups Address Book

Better headphones with the phone (hey, we didn't even get any!)
Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.
When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)

Wallpaper scrolling sideways.
Standalone e-mail app (not sure how different it is than choosing emails-only for hub)
Different colors or small tabs in different colors for different accounts in Hub.
Share webpages with smart tag (I think you can just create it by pasting the URL into create QR)

Custom vibration options.
Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
Call Recording
Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

Totally random Apple ID request on iPhone after iCloud sync.

After syncing my iPhone 4s with iCloud I get a totally random Apple ID request. I am not familiar with this email at all. Most of the posts I have seen seem to be related to an old email or the email of a family member. The email address is completely foreign to me. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Hi shailzonly,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you edited the Apple ID that you use for iCloud. To sign out of iCloud you do need to have the Apple ID and password for that account. In this situation, it may be necessary to temporarily change your Apple ID back to the one that is signed into iCloud (no need to change the password, you can stay with your new one) and sign out. Once signed out you can edit your Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in to iCloud with that one. Please use the attached article for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Best regards,
Joe

BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23 Fault

I have a BlackBerry 9360 (3G, Wi-Fi), 7.1 bundle 1717 (v7.1.0.569, Platform 9.6.0.86), BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23
The team originally had the version of BlackBerry OS 6 operating system, for months to upgrade to the latest available for the team that is the Blackberry OS 7.1.
Apparently the problem started when upgrading BlackBerry Messenger to the latest version (7.0.1.23), I installed it through the BlackBerry App World for my team.
The team has about 6 months of use working perfectly, until recently that within BlackBerry Messenger application does not update the profile picture. I tried everything to fix it, between this I:
1. Off and removed the battery long enough, the problem is solved partly because after the smart phone turns on the changing profile picture (but only sometimes), and when it does, it only once since before a second consecutive update the problem recurs, have to repeat the procedure.
2. I deleted and reinstalled the application without any success.
3. Reset the entire smart phone and reinstalled all applications again, without success.
4. I've used all sorts of different connections (including 3G, 2G, Wifi) and in all alike the same problem.
5. registered the BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network, and also sent the service books through the application of e-mail settings on your smartphone. (Without success)
I would like to help me find a solution without resorting to absurd solutions like:
1. delete all contacts and add them one by one again, since I have 300 contacts! and that's not humanly possible, also a risk that after adding back the problem recurring.
2. get the battery every time you want to change my profile picture, (I do not buy a phone to get the battery every time you change a simple photo)
3. nor reset the phone, update or delete the application because as I said I already did and did not solve the problem.
otherwise I can not back up my contacts and I have the latest version of MSN BB and this does not bring this option, since all contact data is automatically saved in the cloud of my ID.
*** At first I thought it was just a glitch in the profile picture, but then I realized that after pulling off the battery did not keep him to publishing the names of my contacts, and the contacts reappeared I had removed, ie there is a problem with the transmission of data from my device to my cloud data of my ID, ie these are not synchronized properly and changes made by me (as the profile picture and editing contacts) not saved, strangely I have no problem with sending messages from my contacts in BlackBerry Messenger, I can normally chat with them, nor do I have a problem with any other application or with the transmission and receipt of data from the device. ***
Aja?, Now tell me, I do?

Hi Fanfan514
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If you're having problem with recent update , you can try reinstalling it again cleanly , but first On your Homescreen Go to Options > Device Application Management > Locate and delete BlackBerry Messenger from there.
KB10040 : How to view or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone
After deleting perform a battery pull restart by removing the Battery while is device is POWERED ON , wait a min. then re-insert it back . let your device takes a long reboot , finally from your BlackBerry Browser browse to www.blackberry.com/bbm and download the most recent version available for your device .After reinstalling see if that helps
Please Note :
If you're having BBM7 then your BBM Contacts are integrated with your BlackBerry ID , after installing when you login with your BlackBerry ID your Contacts will be restored back , but if you're having any previous persion then first do a local backup , you can backup in your Media card, refer to this KB for further help:

Ok, do this, delete any pending request from that user, and tell that user to delete their pending request to you.
Get their PIN number (options > Status)
Now, you try adding that user by the PIN, not email.

Can't find my BlackBerry Messenger icon

Hello,
I've had my BlackBerry Bold 9700 for more than 3 months
Lately, the icon's been getting stuck on my Main Screen
So, I always ended up uninstalling and reinstalling, and the problem would always get fixed
But last time I did that, my BlackBerry Messenger disappeared
I tried everything!
I looked through every single folder, ticked Show All, but nothing
I also went to Explore, showed hidden files, there was nothing
I tried rebooting, deleting and reinstalling, also nothing
I also went on Desktop Manager, checked the Application Loader, and it's there, it's ticked
I checked Options > Applications > Add-on, and I can see that the BlackBerry Messenger is installed (Research In Motion Limited, version 5.0.1.38)
My Device Software is updated, and when I check for updates, it says no updates available
I tried Security Wipe, but it's still not there
I tried to backup and restore as well, but nothing's changed
What am I missing?
Do I have to downgrade?
What else do I have to do?...

Problem solved.
Try this!
Don't delete your BlackBerry Messenger from Options > Applications
Even if you can't find it in your home screen, leave it as it is
Go to http://www.blackberry.com/messenger using your BlackBerry browser
Download and it'll ask you if you want to overwrite, so all you have to do is accept
Worked for me!
Hope this helps

Thanks for reaching out!
This is a hoax message, especially since that isn't even our CFO so I would recommend deleting the message.

Blackberry Messenger: Contact Pending

ok, so I figured out how to get the PIN and send an inventaion to a friend for the Blackberry Messenger. Here's my problem... I have sent multiple invitations to my friend and he has sent multiple to me over the last couple of days, but for some reason when I open the application he is still listed as pending and neither he or myself has recieved the invitaion to actually accept it.
Any tips or tricks to assist me with this issue would awsome!!! Thanks

I double and even triple checked the PIN's from both phones and they are correct.
First I opened the the BBMessenger App. and scrolled down to contact and clicked on the track ball, from there I was sent right to my address book. I then scrolled down to my buddies name and hit the track ball again, this is when I recieved the Invitation notice to send to his phone. Unfotunatley the invite hasn't been received and he is still pending
Also, the reason I entered the PIN manually into his conact info on my is because originally when I was in the BBMessenger App and I would try to add a contact I would be sent to the address book. From there I would scroll down to his name and hit the track ball, his number would then come up and I hit the track ball again. A small menu opens that list: Edit, Delete, Send to Messenger Contact, & Full Menu. When I click on Send to Messneger another window opens that states: Select a Contact: *Empty*
