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!!

    I have the Blackberry Tour, how do I turn off email alerts

    Hi there!
    Go into your Sounds or Profiles app. Change the settings for the alerts as you desire.
    If that does not work, then please return to these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and register an account so that we can provide you with direct assistance.

  • Voice recording prompt issue on blackberry tour.

    Hi guys,
    I am facing an issue while doing the voice recording in midlet, the issue is as soon as i start the voice recording i get a prompt and the recording is stopped and after that i was not able to record anything.
    This happens only in the Tour, i was succesfully recording the voice with the same code in other Blackberry devices.
    if you say its because of signing my app is already signed with RIM sig keys.
    Waiting for your the response.
    thanks
    dc

    I had another Blackberry from AT&T. It worked fine sometimes and sometimes it would lock up the speaker and microphone after recording something. So, you might be recording a voice note and it works. Next time it might not work and when you dial a number, the phone will ring but you cannot speak or hear and they cannot hear or speak. After a couple of hourse back and forth with AT&T, the solution was to return the phone. The new one was fine. Wife liked it so we dropped AT&T and got a USCC Blackberry Tour. So far, so good.

  • Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

    Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

    I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced.  I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced.  My current one is working OK but does stick a bit.  Seems to get worse over time.  My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem.  Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
    I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen.  My wife has the Tour as well.  She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it.  It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts.  When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse.  Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster.  As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster.  If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play.  My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine.  I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this 

  • How do I sync my Blackberry Tour calendar to my Google calendar?

    I just upgraded my phone from a Blackberry Tour to a Droid Razr M.  (The trackball stopped working so I my alarm clock still sounds and my reminder alerts still work, both in volume and on the screen, but I can't answer the phone or clear the screen.)  I am hoping to sync my Blackberry calendar to my Google calendar with the plans to then sync my Google calendar to my Razr calendar.  I wasn't sure how to do this so I searched verizonwireless.com for some direction.  I found the answers that I was looking for, but my BB was not in service because of the Razr switch-over.  Of course with Murphy('s Law) being my closest friend, my printer doesn't work so I was unable to print the "how-to" instructions I had gotten from the this website.  When I went to a VZW store in Warwick, the CSR disabled the Razr and re-enabled the BB and sunc the calendar to Google.  He thought he had taken care of it, but when i got home and opened my Google cal, there was nothing there and now I can't find the "how to" coversations I had found last night.  Does anyone have the "how-to" instructions (I will copy and paste them into a word doc and email them to myself so when I go to xmas dinner at my mom's, I can print them so I'll have a hard-copy when I go back to VZW...for the 3rd time) or know how I can find that string of conversations I had found yesterday?  Any help would be wonderful.
    Merry Christmas and thank you.

        Cadmanl, I'll be happy to provide options for transferring your calendar from your Blackberry to your RAZR. I checked and Google has suspended the use of Google Calendar. Have you ever synced your Blackberry to your computer? If you haven't already, download Blackberry Desktop Software at http://vzam.net/blackberry/. You can sync your Blackberry to Outlook or Outlook Express. Then transfer to Google Calendar using Google Calendar Sync http://bit.ly/UVIY6S. Google Sync will be going away as of 1/20/13.
    Let me know if you need further assistance.

  • Help syncing new iPad with Outlook 2007 on my PC and Blackberry Tour 9630

    I have searched for answers and am stumped and frustrated...
    I bought an iPad (am trying to become I-friendly) and thought it would be convenient to be able to sync my “stuff” (Contacts, Calendar and notes) to the iPad so we’ll have access to it while traveling.  I use a Blackberry Tour 9630 and a PC with Outlook 2007.  I have synced them effortlessly for years using Desktop manager.  I make changes to my ‘stuff’ on both phone and PC and when I sync - the most current ‘stuff’ gets placed on both.  Voila!  Not anymore.
    When I set up my iPad to work with iCloud things got screwy.  A LOT of my contacts just disappeared - mainly the ones I use frequently.  Now my Outlook 2007 calendar has three calendars on the screen:
    Calendar in iCloud - pink
    Calendar Merge Conflicts in iCloud - green in a tab behind the pink calendar
    Calendar - blue
    I use a cox email account and my blackberry gives me the choice when deleting an email whether to delete on the device or on the server.  I use that feature a lot when we are traveling for a few weeks.  It is nice to come home with no redundant emails on my PC.
    1-How do I combine all the calendars so I have the same thing on each device, Hoping to stay updated on each when I make changes
    2-Can the iPad email give me the option to delete from the server when viewing an email on a cox.net account?
    I am not an expert but fairly tech savvy and usually can get these things done. I need help!  I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions - Thanks in advance

  • Palm Treo to Blackberry Tour conversion

    Hi there - Just bought the new Blackberry Tour after having lost my Palm Treo this weekend Been using the Palm desktop software for eons and have tons of data to convert: contacts and calendar most important. Is the best way to do this still to transfer Palm data to Outlook and then Outlook to BB? And will that include the calendar data as well as contacts?
    Thank you!!

    The Desktop Manager doesn't show any of the data like the Palm Desktop. It's just a conduit to sync information between the BlackBerry an your email client.

  • Blackberry tour repeating letters when dialing the first letter?

    I am now on my second blackberry tour as my first one got rained on. On both of these phones when I would start typing the name of a contact in to dial thier number from the home screen then multiple letters will apear. for exaple if I am dialing Adam then I would push the A and 3 or 4  A's would apear then I would have to push backspace untill I am back to 1 then type the rest of the name. This is really anoying any sugestions?

    You may want to check your 'key rate' setting in the options menu. Press the menu key, go to the options folder, go to screen/keyboard, scroll down to 'key rate' and see what it is set at. It can be from slow, medium slow, normal, medium fast, and fast.

  • Blackberry Tour Non-connectivity

    I just recently received a blackberry tour on Wednesday of last week (Sept 9) and from ever since I have not been able to connect to the internet because my xev are all lower case and I was informed that they should be upper case for it to work. I tried contacting my service provider on numerous occasions and they were not able to help me out even though they said everything seemed fine on their end. I even went to a sprint store in my area of Greensboro, NC and I got a new one on Sept 14 and still experienced the same problem. They even made sure to check my plan and they said it was fine for the blackberry. So now I have to turn you guys and plead for you to help me. I have tried hard as well a soft reset. Registering host routing table, provisioning the phone and so on and so forth on numerous occasions but nothing worked. So please, show me a way to go and let me know as soon as you can.
    Regards

    Quite honestly, until your device registers upper case, there's nothing we can do...those indicators are between your device and your carriers network...if they can't get the device to function on their network, there's truthfully nothing here we can do to help...I suggest going back to them again and not leaving the store until they get it right.

  • My blackberry tour does not sync my contacts anymore with outlook 2007. I do not get an error message. Help!!

    My blackberry tour does not sync my contacts anymore with outlook 2007. I do not get an error message. Help!!

    Norton is probably the issue. It can really screw things up, that is one reason I never use it. See if you can temporarily disable it and then try the sync and see if that works.
    On a Mac, there is a way to run a program that repairs permissions for the user, not a Windows thing.

  • What is supposed to happen when a tethered Blackberry Tour receives an incoming call?

    I have a blackberry tour on an enterprise system.  Can anyone tell me what is supposed to happen when tethered and an incoming call comes in to the phone?  My company will soon be getting rid of our aircards, and activating the tethering feature on the blackberrys.  We use VPN to connect to the intranet.  Also, can I make an outgoing phone call without disconnecting from the internet?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Gruntz, 
    When you are using the tethering feature on your Blackberry device, the in coming call could interfere with your data connection. Also, when you make an outbound call, it would disconnect from your internet tethering feature. This is because the device would not be able to make and receive calls as its connected to the internet. 

  • Blackberry tour 9630: registration problem.. please help me :)

    Hello goood day sir/maam. I am from the Philippines and I need your help.I dont know how to start this matter but ill try my best to give out all the problem details. I have a blackberry tour 9630 and its an openline phone from Verizon US, and my network carrier is talk n' text, during the first months of using it, it was good, i can open my email, do social networking and bbm.. My APN settings is http://m.smart.com.ph by the way. So here's the problem, last sept 12 2011, I inserted a different sim card coz i need to get some contact from my old sim card.. now when i inserted my Talk N' text sim card, i mean when i brought back my original sim card.. my bb messed up,, i cant have my bb registration, i cant use my email, and cant do bbm anymore..

    I don't recall a "download' screen in the Desktop Software.
    It should allow you to INSTALL, if you have the operating system file itself already installed to your PC.
    Do you?
    Also, have you tried using the BlackBerry AppWorld to download BlackBerry Maps?

Quicktime sees the files but won't play them. 3gpp file is what is listed in info I thought it was an avi but its not. When played you see the video but the bar just zips by with no sound or video. I tryed persian and nothing worked. I downloaded mpeg streamclip and converted to quicktime, dv,and mpeg 4 and nothing works. help?

    What other information about the files does quicktime give you. 3gp files shouldn't be an issue for QT.
