Switch from BlackBerry Q10 to BlackBerry Bold 9900

I need to transfer from a BlackBerry Q10 to a BlackBerry Bold 9900 and retain the data in the Remember app on the Q10. Any idea how to do this?

Nevermind, I did some more searching, Googling, etc. and found out that BlackBerry is not able to be downgraded from 10 OS to earlier devices. A bit of a shame really. My boss had deciced he wants to go back to his 9900 and is expecting me to transfer all his data. Looks I've got a few hours worth of typing ahead of me.

Difference between Bluetooth Module from Blackberry Q10 to Blackberry Q5?

Hello,
I am from Germany so please excuse if my English knowledge is not so good.
I own a Bose Wave Music System III. Last week I bought a original Bluetooth Adapter for that System.
After the Adapter arrived I connected it without any problem with my Blackberry Q10.
My Girlfriend is using a Blackberry Q5.
So I tried to connect the Q5 with the Bose Bluetooth Adapter as well.
But the Q5 is not able to connect correctly.
There is the same problem with the Q5 and my Toshiba Portege R930.
Both decives only see the Bose Bluetooth Adapter as a Nokia mobile phone device (all other Bluetooth devices are off, me and my neighbours don't use any Nokia mobile phone ).
If I try to connect to this device, Bose and Q5/R930 can not connect.
I also bought a new Bluetooth Stack Stick 4.0 from LogiLink, this Stick doesn't even recognize the Bose Bluetooth Adapter
So my question is if there is a difference between the bluetooth module Q10 and Q5?
If I read the technical data sheets there is always just written Bluetooth 4.0, but there must be a difference after my opinion.
Thank You for your help
Regards
Manuel

Switching from Palm OS to BlackBerry

Help! I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to return my BBStorm2 and try an iPhone. I've been trying to transfer my calendar and contacts from Palm OS to BB. I'm also using a Mac.

Maybe you should visit a Palm or Treo user forum and ask that question? Afterall, this is the BlackBerry user forum.
I know on a PC, you can export all of your Palm desktop data to the PC to an excel file, from which you can then import the excel data either to Outlook (Entourage on your Mac) or direct to the BlackBerry device.

Backup BlackBerry Q10

I am having problems with backup of my BlackBerry Q10 using BlackBerry Link.
Upon performing a backup of my device with BlackBerry Link, a "Backup Complete … With Errors" window opens, indicating that "Some items from your device have failed to backup:," with a long list of applications. starting with -System Applications.
There are no buttons or links enabling me to perform any action, not even close this window.
A possibly related problem may be that the flash drive —formerly labeled as a Z: drive— is not readable, but there now appears an X: drive, nearly all of the file folders on which are empty.
I need some guidance as to how to diagnose and correct the problems.
Thank You …

See if BlackBerry Virtual Expert can help, if you do not yet have the BBVE App Icon tap the Help Icon then tap Testing, tap Try This Now, tap Tests, choose a test in the list or tap Choose A Test to display a complete list of tests to choose from.
When you say flash drive are you referring to your SD Card ? SD Card Drive Volume is "Y"
Internal Device Volume is "Z"
Reformatting the SD Card may help.

Outlook 2013 Calendar syncing with Blackberry Q10 error

Hi, i am facing a big challenge while syncing the Outlook 2013 calendar with blackberry Q10 through Blackberry Link Software.
When syncing to BB, I get sync error "The following reoccurring event could not be synced: 13-Oct-14 - MD Mtg with Mgmt. Remove the event and sync again". The error refers to an event for a particular date. Practically, there is no such event in
outlook for that particular date.
I have tried syncing other calendars from the same outlook file successfully but failing to do with that particular calendar. I have also tried to sync the same calendar from outlook 2010 from different OS without any success. I am running Windows 7 - 64bit
OS.
I am running all latest updated patches from Microsoft and Blackberry for both OS.
This calendar is very important as it has more than 3000 event entries.
Please help me to resolve the same at earliest since the issue seems to be in particular Outlook 2013 calendar file. I suppose there could be some hidden entry for that particular date which is causing syncing to fail.
Kindly let me know if you require any further information.

Hi,
This generaly means there is a problem with the indicated event, which cannot be sync'd to BlackBerry. You have to delete it before resyncing the calendar.
If the entry does not appear for the date mentioned in the message, it may be located on one of the historic dates according to the recurrence pattern.
Or you can use the tool of MFCMAPI to delete a hiden or corrupted calendar event:

Blackberry Bold 9900 OS software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

Helo Everyone
I tried to upgrade my Blackberry Bold 9900 device software from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but having difficulties. I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager but there was no version 7.1.0 listed among the available updates. Even when I tried to do it directly via the Blackberry official website, Version 7.1.0 was also not listed. Finally I tried to do the update with my phone directly by accessing: Options>Device>Software Updates.
It displayed my Current Version of 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and an available version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I Clicked Perform Update to download the new version it showed preparing to download but then displayed an error message such as "The download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using any of the following methods:Wi-Fi".
Meanwhile, I did not perform the upgrade with Wi-Fi because I have an active blackberry data subscrip of 2GB from my mobile network provider.
Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the latest Bundle.
Thank you all as i await your kind solution.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

How do I lock my screen on Blackberry Bold 9900

I just got Blackberry Bold 9900 from Rogers can someone tell me how to lock touchscreen.
Thanks Steve Day

I'm just confirming that what Escon-eu said about not being able to turn off the touchscreen function is correct. The 9900's touchscreen is part of the essence of the phone and therefore has its touchscreen functions built in to the OS.
Cheers.

Blackberry Bold 9900 / Enterprise Activation

Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.
I have purchased the Blackberry bold 9900 smart phone couple of days ago.
Not an expert myself but expected better from our own IT Dept…seems that they need help themselves.
Not certain how to find enterprise activation icon on blackberry 9900 bold. Usually this is what I do:
Options>>device>>advanced System Setting>>Enterprise setting.
For some odd reason…enterprise setting is not there. It is not also under set up…just the web based emails setting.
I have tried the wipe out but nothing changed.
Would be grateful if someone could be kind please to tell me what to do.
Thanks so much for your time.

You can dowload the Enterprise activation App from the below link, but make sure that the your number has the proper data plan, and the device registered with your carrier.

Blackberry desktop for Mac and Bold 9900 - extremely slow syncing?

Is it just me or does it take forever just to sync a few changes to photos or music to my Bold 9900 using the Blackberry desktop on mac? Ok granted the first time I added over 1000 songs, several playlists and about 40 photos from iPhoto via the sync software, it took over 3 hrs to sync. Personally I find that extremely slow, especially when comparing to my ipad or iphone and itunes syncing. Today I wanted just to remove one photo album from my phone, so unticked it and resynced again. Over half an hour before it finished! The registering media with device step takes a very long time, as does the initial preparation stage...... surely there must be something wrong?
Without the wifi sync feature i can't imagine it being practical just to add one song to my phone through this software before popping out with the phone in the car.... I would need to give myself over 30 minutes in advance.
Any advice or help most appreciated.
Thanks
Simon

Hey midinotes,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
It can take quite awhile to synchronize media to your BlackBerry. Especially with the songs, 1000 songs it is normal to take a few hours.
The easiest way I add music to my BlackBerry is dragging the media files to the media card. It's a lot quicker.

Adjusting the SIM card activation sound - BlackBerry Bold 9900

Hi there,
when activating a SIM card on a BlackBerry Bold 9900 on the newest available build of BlackBerry OS 7, for example if two or more SIM cards of the same provider are used with different devices, using the code *100#, a system sound reminiscent of the characteristic BIOS sound on a computer will be played, however this sound is too loud and there does not seem to be an obvious way to adjust the sound or at least its volume.
Is there any way to adjust this?
Thank you,

Trying to Install Blackberry Protect on Bold 9900

Hello,
I have a bold 9900 with 7.1.0 software installed.
I downloaded and installed blackberry protect from app world, however, i am unable to activate the software.
I cannot find the icon anywhere on my device. Does this mean i must have blackberry 10 software installed on my phone to be able to use this app?
Is there a way to install blackberry protect on my device? If so, step by step instructions will be grealty appreciated.
I found a third party software online named gadget trak but it cost $20 per year. I rather use software designed by blackberry for copatability and security reasons.
Your advice is grealty appreciated.
Happy New Year

No, BlackBerry10 does not install to and cannot be installed to a 9900.
And, BB10 is not required for Protect to run.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
You will be looking for an icon of a goldish-yellow shield, or sometimes it is a black shield.
If you still don't see it:
1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?

This process will erase all data in your phone memory. Via JSanders.
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
Just select the appropriate device model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html
or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php
