Switching devices and Downgradin​g from Z10 OS10 to 9800 OS6

i recently upgraded my Blackberry Touch 9800 running OS6  to a Blackberry Z10 Running OS10
i am not to impressed with the battery life and features of the Z10. Now i need to downgrade i.e. switch devices back  from Z10 to 9800.
The Z10 using Desktop Link and the 9800 uses Desktop Manager.
 Trying to Switch device does not work.
Can anyone please advise on what to do?
Regards
J

BlackBerry doesn't think anyone will want to switch from the Z10 back to a BBOS device so they haven't built any type of device switch for that direction. Hopefully, as the poster before me stated, you have a backup from your previous device that you can restore to the 9800.
Note: Do NOT attempt to put the micro sim into the 9800 using any kind of sim adapter. I ruined my 9810 attempting to do that. The sim got stuck and wouldn't come out. It ripped out one of the sim card contacts. Just giving the word of caution.

    How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
    (cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
    I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

    When the Kindle app was updated - none of my books showed up on my iPad. Here is what I did and I did it all on the iPad.
    Go to amazon.com
    Sign into your account
    Tap on - Your Account - in the upper right  corner

    Find your books in the next window

  • How do I install CC on a new device and eliminate CC from another?

    I have a Creative Cloud membership with CC being installed on my laptop. I attended AdobeMax and was the happy recipient of a Surface Pro with Creative Cloud pre-installed. I activated the second account  on the Surface Pro. However, I have since bought a new desktop computer and need to install CC on that computer. I don't need it on my Surface Pro, but want it on the laptop and desktop computers. I have signed out of CC on the Surface Pro and have tried to install on the desktop. I go through all the steps on the desktop computer. Sign into my account, hit the download button, get to the installer and double click. It works for about 3 seconds and then quits. I get a message that says "Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of Creative Cloud from...". I select the "Get Creative Cloud" button and it basically goes round in the same circle and I end up with the same "Adobe Creative Cloud is needed..." message again.
    Do I need to uninstall CC on my Surface Pro or eliminate that device from my account? I'm currently signed out on this device, but signed in on the laptop.
    NOTE: I am running Yosemite 10.10.1 on the desktop.
    I really do need to resolve this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks. Sandra

  • I have an ipod touch and my wife bought me an iphone.  While I was deployed, she used the iphone with her itunes account. We would like to switch devices (and apps). Is this possible?

    OK, I now see how this works, so I am going to start a new post; please disregard this one.

    Purchases are tied to the AppleID you used to make them, so not tied at all the any particular device.
    If you backup the iPod to your computer accounts' iTunes, then just restore her iPhone from your iPod backup.  She can do the same thing for the iPod.  You will have then switched their configurations over from one device to the other.

  • Question about HP 2311xi - auto-switch source and delay wakeup from sleep

    I recently purchased this monitor and noticed that when it wakes from sleep it will take about 5-10 seconds for it to wake whereas other monitors I've owned they have gone on immediately.  I was just wondering if this is how this monitor is or if I have an issue with it.  
    Secondly, how is the auto-switch source suppose to work?  I have my PC set to DVI and I have the default source set to my 360 through the HDMI connection.  I would assume that when the 360 goes on it would go to the default source and switch over to the hdmi connection.  However, my monitor does nothing.  What does the auto-switch source actually do or is mine just defective?  
    Thanks in advance for any help on this monitor.  
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Auto-switch source only works if there is no signal as it detects the port with a signal and auto switches to that port.  However, the monitor has no way of knowing exactly which port the user wants when two signals are present.
    Default port setting is what the monitor will look for first when being turned on and doesn't necessarily give that port override capabilities. 
    Taking 5-10 seconds can be normal.  My third-party monitor at home generally takes about 5 seconds before displaying a signal, but this may have more to do with the HDMI connection (I haven't tested this with the VGA port).  I don't believe this is a cause for concern. 
    Let me know if I answered your questions.

  • Switching devices and saving apps

    I'm switching my 928 to a replacement 928. How do I make sure my apps come with me?

    Use the same Windows ID, or windows live email acocunt to set up the phone, and you can get all your apps, pictures and videos, all the things you uploaded to your Windows One drive will sync right back to the new phone.

  • Which device can i use to broadcast a wifi signal without internet access?  I want to connect a hard drive to this device and access it from my ipad.

    I want to be able to access a hard drive wirlessly from my ipad.  There is no internet available.  Can i make this work?

    An AirPort Extreme can do this, as well as a Time Capsule....which is an AirPort Extreme with a built in hard drive.
    In either case, you will need an App like Filebrowser installed on the iPad to be able to access the data on the hard drive.  More info on Filebrowser just below:

  • Z10 switch devices fiasco

    I've just spent 3 hours trying to get a replacement Z10 up and running (still not got all my settings or Apps sorted). I cracked the screen on my last Z10 and the insurance company sent out a replacement. I backed up everything through the Blackberry Link desktop software, so imagined it would be a simple matter to switch devices and have all my settings, data and apps transferred. Problems started with the fact that the "switch device" option in BB link needs you have your old device available when you try use this service. I had to give the courier my broken handset when he dropped of my replacement, so I didn't have it available. I imagine someone who has lost their phone or if it's completely unresponsive would also have the same problem. This is a really bad oversight on Blackberry's part!! Next I tried to use the back up I had saved from my broken phone. This wouldn't work at first because the "personal files" were not present on the new handset. I finally got that sorted, but then had to go through everything again manually to try get my phone even close to what it was like before. So now in my BB Link software I have two phones listed, but can't merge them (and I'm not going to delete the old one till I'm 100% sure I've got everything in place). Come on Blackberry, sort this out!! I'm a tech savvy guy and I found it excruciating trying to deal with all this. You had such an amazing opportunity with the launch of BB10 and you have totally messed it up. Your old operating system might of been dated, BUT at least it worked!! (I was using one of my old Blackberry's while I waited for the replacement). I really don't want to see the end of this company, but if they keep shooting themselves in the foot like this, I don't hold out much hope for them.

  • Forgot Id and password of previous Z10 and cannot restore backup on new Z10

    If you are now using a NEW BlackBerryID on the device, you will need to security wipe the device, and then setup the Z10 with the other BlackBerryID.

  • Switching back to delete file from PC?

    I recently selected a few files that I wanted to remove from iTunes, but didn't want to delete from my hard drive.
    Now I want to switch back and delete files from my hard drive, but when I select a track and click 'delete' it doesn't give me the choice of deleting from iTunes or from hard drive.
