Saving BBM conversati​on on BB 8520 (Device)

I have looked at many many forums and have not found a suitable or satisfying answer. I set my Save Message History to Device. Now when I access my BB from the computer, I open the IM folder. This folder contains no saved conversations. All I see are *.BAK files and another file that probably contains a backup of my BBM contacts. When I am in an active BBM chat i see the View history link but it ONLY displays the last message not the entire previous conversation. Point is if I am saving my message history on the DEVICE then where exactly is it?

Hello
Welcome to the Community
Please keep in mind that there is no way for us to view the conversation history other than our phone. If it's ON there should be a link to View Recent Messages and if you choose that link, there will be another link that should appear to View Chat History, then it will give you the dates to choose from.
Hope this resolves your issue. Goodluck
Ron

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given what you state, you are still using your home carrier SIM and are attempting to use your services via an International Roaming plan provided by your home carrier. Such can be challenging for some carriers to properly configure...I had two "failed" international trips before my prior carrier could properly configure my international roaming.
    The challenge is that the configuration that your home carrier must do must be done while your BB is actually on your home carrier network; changes to the configuration cannot be done while you are actually roaming. To make this even more challenging, testing of the configuration cannot happen until you travel and attempt to use it.
    This creates a great challenge -- if they configure it incorrectly before you leave your home network, and the testing fails when you travel, then they (your home carrier) typically can do nothing about it until your device returns to your home carrier network. (Hence those two "failed" trips of mine that I mentioned earlier.)
    As far as I understand, your only option is to wait until you return home and then talk to your home carrier again, letting them know what happened, and hope that they can fix it for your next trip.
    Good luck!

  • My blackberry 8520 device can't attach file *.doc

    Dear all,, My device can't attach file *.doc when I want to send an email using attachment file My device is Blackberry 8520 Gemini Need help and suggest here Thanks

    OK thanks, that clarifies many of the points. You have successfully registered HRT as well as received all new Service Books, so from that perspective, things should be good to go. A few more thoughts then.

    By this, do you mean that you cannot navigate out of the picture folder it initially shows you? If you don't create a new email, can you use the on-device file manager (Homescreen > Media > > Explore) and navigate to any folder you like? If you can navigate via this, can you further select and send your .doc in this manner?
    Are you a 100% personal BB or is this a corporate (BES) BB? If BES, then stop now and go see your BES admins as they have full control.
    If this is a personal BB, how did you acquire it? Was it purchased directly from your carrier or was it somehow second hand? If it was second hand, you may have a latent IT policy on board from the prior owner...which would need to be removed via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/Remove-IT-Policy-from-personal-pho...
    Further, you are one version behind on the OS from your carrier...the most recent they now have is 5.0.0.681. I cannot tell you if your specific issue is addressed in that update or not...but a clean reload of your OS, with this new version, might be helpful. The best instructions I know for loading (upgrade, downgrade, reload) are here:

  • Not receiving bbm, email and whatapp on 8520. Help!

    hello
    please help. i was messing about with my blackberry 8520 curve yday and now its not receiving any emails, bbm or whatsapp. please advise me how to reactivate these. thanks

    Try a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC. Then try again and see if your problem persists.

  • 8520 device is locked

    my gf's blackberry has been locked.. how? I don't know.
    Her young cousin (13) was playing doodle jump and says he just exited back to the wallpaper but when she went to use it, it says thie device is locked, unlock, emergency call or cancel.
    He says hes definately not set any passwords etc.
    She is gutted as we know if you put in the wrong password 10 times it wipes everything and we've tried 8 passwords.
    She has first pics of our baby son being born and the last few pics of her dad on it before he died so hoping someone somewhere can tell us what to do.
    She has never set any passwords herself so is there any default passwords etc?
    I was able to get the IMEI off the original box because we cannot get into any settings on the phone etc. and tried getting an unlocking code from a website but even then cant enter it because it tells you to use it go into options...
    Please someone help

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Someone set a password. There is no "default" password. There is no "back door" password. Only the password that someone programmed can unlock the BB. Nothing else.
    Good luck!

  • New Pc went bang before I saved music, IPOD wasn't mass storeage device...

    I had a new computer, new Ipod, downloaded new music, life was peachy, new computer went bang, before I had saved other than on my IPOD, now fixed, but with all files erased, and just discovered that I can't copy my music over as I hadn't made my IPOD a mass storeage device on old version of computer! V V sad and frustrated now! Is there anyway around this other than purchasing the music again????

    Hello Ruthie,
    I'm not quite sure from your post whether or not your iPod was erased second time around. If your music is still on your iPod there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    PodPlus Windows Only
    Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    For future reference, if you find that you have to link to a new library because of some problem you should always get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list, from here you can change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually. In manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased.
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    If you have managed to retrieve your songs keep your iPod in manual mode until you are happy that everything is back, with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • Saving a populated PDF on an Android device.

    I have had a a populatable PDF created for me in Acrobat Pro. I can populate it on an Android tablet, but unlike a PC I cannot save it and the data as a new file. What do I need to do?

    What is your App ID? You can get the problem you're describing if you are making a new app that has the same ID as an existing app, but has a different certificate. Either use a different App ID, or track down the existing app with the ID you want to use, and remove it from the device before testing the new app.

  • Keynote files are not saving in iCloud for access by other devices

    I have a Macbook Pro and an iMac.  When I save a Keynote presentation on the cloud, so that I can access it from the other device, I can see that the file, but there is a message below it that says "waiting". 

    I just can't get a keynote file on my Mac to show up in iCloud on the web or on my new iPad Air 2.
    The file is in the "mobile documents" folder but it is NOT showing up on my iPad. I need this for a presentation tomorrow on my iPad.
    There's no indication on my Mac that there is any problem. It just doesn't show up on my iPad, where I need it.

  • Saving over an image on an ios device

    How would I load a photo from the camera roll, apply a change to the photo, and save over the photo that I just loaded? I was able to figure out how to load photos and save them to the camera roll but the photo would come out as a new photo rather than saving over the photo that was loaded.

    Does that happen with every image or only on specific websites?
    If only on specific websites then please post a link then we can check it.

  • Saving separate sets of apps for multiple devices

    Hi,
    This has probably been asked before, sorry if redundant.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad, my wife has an iPhone. We prefer different apps on pur phones and a different set for the iPad. iTunes recognizes the devices with different names when they are attached, but the app set from the last device attached is still checked.
    It's a real pain to have to go through, checking and unchecking each time, just to Sync one or two new items.
    Is there a way to "save" your app set for each item so that when you connect a device, it recognizes it AND the last app set you choose for that device?
    Probably a real easy solution but darned if I can figure it out.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Just tried this with my wifes phone, the last one that was Synced .
    Right click? I am using an Apple mouse, not a two button one.
    I have been told that you can right or left click with an Apple mouse, didn't work here. No pop up menu like with a two button mouse or when using a Windows computer.
    The only Backup option I can see is the choice to Back Up To iCloud or Back Up to This Computer. Is that what you are referring to?
    It's currently backed up to iCloud. Does she need to change that to save her selected set of apps?

  • BB Curve 8520 device detection problems

    Hi,
          I've just recently re-installed my laptop (windows XP home) and I just re-installed the BB desktop software (5.0 - I cant figure my way around the latest version so I'd rather stick to what I know). The installation went smoothly. I installed roxio, which is loading up just fine, but when I plug my phone into the laptop, the desktop software doesnt recognise it and its not picking it up. I've tried going to the device manager to look at the usb hubs - but its not showing up on there either. But the phone starts to charge when I plug it in.
    Any ideas please?

  • Where are imported photos saved, during a iTunes sync with IOS devices?

    When i sync my iPhone/iPad, on one of the steps it says importing photos.
    Are these photos being transfered form my iPad to my PC, or the other way around?

    They are being synced from your computer to your iPad - you can specify which photos that you want to sync to your iPad via the Photos tab : syncing photos.
    If you want to copy photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites to your computer then it's done outside of iTunes : photos to computer.

  • 8520 problems! BBM?

    Hi guys had a few problems with my 8520 over the weekend. Done a bit of research last night on here and discovered the fault but couldnt get my laptop to play ball so I refreshed the software on it. All works fine apart from BBM. Have downloaded the latest version but it wont bring up display pictures? Any ideas why? I have version 5.0.1.38. It used to bring pics up? Although this layout seems different tbh with ya key lock is different etc. Have i messed it up? lol
    Thanks in advance

    This is likely a BBM server issue and not your device.  I've seen a couple of other posts with similar problems.  Hopefully they get it fixed soon.
