Theme fo the Home Page on the Blackberry Tour

On my previous Blackberry (the 8830), I was able to set up the home page so that it showed (1) 3 or 4 new messages and (2) 2 or 3 upcoming appointments. Is it possible to create a similar home page for the Tour?

I just switched from the Motorola Q9M. I was able to see upcoming events which I LOVED. Am very disappointed that the TOUR does not have this feature. However, I was able to figure out how to customize the main screen so I can see the 6 icons I use most.
From the main screen hit the Menu Key. You will see all of your Icons. Scroll to the Icon you want to move. Hit the Menu Key. Make sure "Move" is highlighted, then hit the Menu Key again. Use your trackball to move it to one of the first six position as those will show up on your main screen. Keep repeating this until you have the six Icons you want on your main screen in the fist six spots.

Are There Any Themes for the Blackberry Tour Approved by RIM, or Not?

I've already had one BB Tour bricked, and I had downloaded all apps through BB App World. However, there appear to be ZERO themes on BB App World. So themes are the one thing I downloaded OTA on various websites, including Crackberry. Seeing that my VZW Tour came pre-loaded with 2 themes, I thought downloading themes was harmless. Is it possible the themes I had downloaded could have crashed my phone? Are there any websites with themes that are approved by RIM?

All Themes at this point are not from RIM.
With the release of the New Developer Software during the Last Conference soon RIM will have themes Approved and available for Download through App world. No ETA at this point though.

Is there a way to have my e-mail messages stay unopened on my computer after I have viewed them with the blackberry

Not sure if there is a setting on the blackberry but my work e-mail(s) will also be sent to my blackberry. After I have viewed them on the blackberry, if I go to my desttop computer, the e-mails will already have been opend (not bold). Just wondering if there a setting that can be changed or should I contact our IT dept.

The app that I am using came on the Samsung tv. It is called mediaplayer. I have updated the firmware on the tv but it did not change the app or update it. The same thing happens. It recognizes the photos but not the videos. My friend also has a Samsung tv (differnet model) and I connected the touch to his and the same thing. He has a Motorolla Droid and when he connects it to his tv via a USB cable it does recognize his videos so I imagine that his Droid records videos with the mp4 extension.
So I am back to my original question. Is there a way to make the mp4 extension as the default when recording videos on the touch?

993 How do I stop the Mozilla Tour page from coming up whenever I open my browser. Just want the home page

Whenever I open my browser I get a tab with my home page and a Mozilla tour sync etc tab. I don't want the Mozilla page.

Hi there,
Understood! We don't like being bombarded with advertising any more than you do.
If this is happening every time you open Firefox, it might be that Mozilla tab has also been set as your homepage.
To check this:
# Click the menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] button, press ''Options''
# On the ''General'' page you'll a box labelled ''Home Page''
# If the Mozilla web address is included in that home page box, delete it.
Let us know if this fixes the issue. Cheers!

Some apps moved to settings; how can I get them to home page

I thought my problems were solved, but now I have a new one. Some of my apps disappeared. I found them in settings. How can I get them back to my
homepages and how did this happen?

Thanks....yes, I realized this after Carolyn explained how apps work. I am not new to computers or to macs, but I AM new to apps, and I'm struggling with learning how they work. I had noticed that they were no longer on my homepage, and then, in searching around for them, I saw them in settings. Then the question was: how the heck do I get them where I want them? Didn't even think about them being in iTunes! I love knowing I can shuffle the apps around there instead of trying to slide them from one home page to another (not easy in my view!).
I have to say that without this discussion board, I would never have figured out this iPad. 15 years ago I bought my first computer and learned the whole thing on my own without any tutoring, but this iPad is totally confusing. I am just now beginning to see how it works and am actually just now beginning to do a little troubleshooting without help. But, it's been a long, hard road!

How much is the Blackberry Playbook developing license?

Hi, I want to know how much is the license to develop AIR Apps for Blackberry Playbook and to publish them on the Blackberry Store.
For example... for iOS Apps the fee is of 99$ by year.... and for the Blackberry store?
Bye and thanks
Brandon

Hi Mark. There are a few things to install and you need to register as a vendor for the app world - but it's all fairly straightforward. Here's an excellent link from the BlackBerry PlayBook forum. One of the guys there goes through everything you need in a real good level of detail.

It's well worth registering on the forum too.
Good luck !

Suddenly, email won't open on Comcast home page even though internet is connect.

I am having some sort of a problem (3 days now) with Safari. I have MAC 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.6. I have my internet services through Comcast and use them as my home page after opening up Safari. I can connect, browse, and open up web sites, however I cannot open up my email (which is most important to me for receiving my bills for paying online). I receive the following when I click on my email icon:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.
Cookie: "Odd-tab"]&articlelist.default_tab="Top News-tab"&pagemsg.state=false; __qca=P0-956191622-1276173204867; __utma=85715083.993123
Underneath the email icon, I also sometimes receive the following message:
PROXY ERROR
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request
GET/PointRoll/PointRollAds.htm
I don't know anything about the above messages.
Comcast has worked with me the past two days and says it is not on their end. I just installed Firefox and I am able to access my email, so it must be some problem with Safari. I don't like to use Firefox, would like my Safari back.

Have you tried to update your Safari to 5.1. I have OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I don't know if you can update to 5.1 with 10.5, but if you can, you probably should. I use Comcast and the email page is my home page and don't have any problems accessing my email on either Safari or Firefox. The update may be what you need.

Removing breadcrumbs from home page

RH11 | WebHelp
I apply breadcrumbs through the WebHelp Settings screen when I compile. This method applies them to every topic. However, it don't want to display them on my home page. Does anyone know if it's possible to remove breadcrumbs from an individual page after compilation?
Thanks
Jonathan

Sure there is! But it may not be the most user friendly of solutions ;-)
It may be a better idea to use master pages with a breadcrumb placeholder. Then simply assign another master page (without bread crumb placeholder) to the start page.
If you want to remove the auto inserted breadcrumbs, open the file and look for the 3 lines starting with:
document.write("<p style
AddMasterBreadCrumbs("
document.write("
Simply remove these 3 lines or comment them out. (By placing // in front of them.)
The exact content on these lines depend on the page you're on and the styling you've provided.
Kind regards,
Willam

Anyone Have a Blackberry Tour 9630 Replaced with BB Bold when RIM said Tours Defective?

I'm asking this because I need to find out who got a replacement Bold or other Blackberry for the defective Tour 9630 since in my case I got screwed.
I'm curious when they allowed the swap and if your contract was extended?
Why? Because my story tops them all as far as cell phone provider issues! I want to file an FCC complaint but I need some more facts that Verizon is not giving me after they look up my account and realize I'm one they got one over on.
Here is what happened to me:
I upgraded after my 1st year with Verizon, I got a Blackberry Tour in 1/2010. That phone had so many problems I had to keep taking it in every month for a replacement. Verizon refused to exchange for a different Blackberry. I had it 6 Blackberry Tour 9630's in 6 months.
I even called RIM and they said they had "design" issues with the Tour and it's being taken off the market with the phone carriers, they said Verizon should be allowing you to get a replacement phone of same or lower cost (another Blackberry).
Well that never happened and I had to file an FCC complaint before corporate finally called to help me. I even told them the "NEW" Tour I paid for when I signed a new contract was refurbished because when I tried to send the info in for the rebate, I got an letter stating that particular phone already received it's rebate. Yep, I paid for a used phone, nice huh?
I should have stopped it right there, given them their used phone back and walked away but I'm thinking they are working with me and gave me the rebate ASAP, it will be OK.
WRONG!! 6 months into the contract with theTour not working and those 6 replacements I mentioned, they agree to give me another phone for $50. I said "drop dead, no more money from me because of an issue that's no fault of mine."
Then they said OK we'll give you a phone of the same value at no charge. So not knowing how the Bold was gonna work yet, I went with a Droid 2 as the Droid 1 had been out awhile and I heard most bugs had been worked out.
Now here is the real kicker in the whole story. After they mailed me the new Droid, I was online paying my bill and noticed Verizon re-set my contract.
Instead of being up in January 2012 it now shows September 2012 even though I got the Droid 2 in July. **bleep**??
No one told me that and I couldn't get anyone to help fix that mess, they said "you got a new phone, we resolved your issue". Yeah ONE of the issues, not all of the issues like the fact the very first new phone of the new contract was USED!
Then to make matters worse, I heard from 2 people who had Tours and they said Verizon changed the policy and replaced the Tours with the Blackberry Bold for no charge and no contract extension. One of them swaped the phone May 30th and the other at the end of June. Before and after they finally called to help me.
This is why I need to know not what the Verizon policy states (because they can type of anything for all I know) but who got a new phone and when. What month and what year?
This is only referring to the Blackberry Tour 9630 the one with the small black trackball that they promptly pulled off the shelves around the time I got another phone.
If Verizon said they were looking into a solution, I would have used my old Blackberry Curve for a bit , gotten the Bold, and not be looking at this 9 month contract extension.
I don't know, they make it so hard for honest people who have hit hard times and dealt with bad phone after bad phone to just get a fair break. I have been sick and out of work for 3 years, I've used every penny I saved hoping I was going to get better. That is now not going to happen and when I really need out of the **bleep** contract, they pull this garbage.
If I just want out of the contract , I was told it would cost around $350. If I had $350 I wouldn't be typing this. I suppose I can fake my own death and get out of the contract that way.
So guess I work on becoming dead since that's my only option. I will never, ever, ever sign a cell contract as long as live, if I live.
I don't mean to sound like such a bitchy customer, I really feel I was screwed from the start of this contract and the screws keep coming!

As iSync doesn't support Blackberry devices and you are using software from RIM to sync your Mac, you are unlikely to find a solution here.
However, one general point about syncing is the more things you try to sync with, the more likely problems are to appear. Syncing with both iCal and Entourage is often a culprit. I would suggest leaving Entourage out of the equation altogether and just sync iCal and the Blackberry software.

Blackberry Tour 9630 won't receive text messages

I know the Blackberry Tour 9630 is ancient, but I'm still using mine. The other day, however, it quit receiving text messages. I can send them, but can't receive any. I have done an internet search and it seems this problem was prevalent back in 2009 and I have tried everything that was suggested at that time to try and get it to receive text, but nothing has worked.
Since it is now 2014, I was wondering if Blackberry, or anyone for that matter, ever found a workable solution to this problem. Everything else works great on my BB, but I depend a lot on text messaging.
Thanks for any help

OK, since NOBODY bothered to reply, I'll tell you how I finally solved this problem (verizon tech support was no help) after hours and hours of phone support and checking settings on the blackberry and in Gmail.
On your desktop or handheld internet browser open your gmail account
Go to "Settings"
Go to "Labels"
Scroll down until you see the label "All Mail"
Make sure the far right box "Show in Imap" is checked.
Then it'll download your messages to your Blackberry Tour 9360.
I am a GOD! At least to my wife. That's what counts.

Putting TV epsidoes on Blackberry Tour...

I can move the file itself but apparently the DRM protection won't allow me to view them on my Blackberry despite the file format being supported. Is there any workaround here? I'm trying to take TV shows I have purchased and move them to my personal PDA--doesn't seem like Apple should have the right to deny this.
P.S. I know this is an Apple board, and I'm a huge Apple enthusiast, but the Blackberry Tour is sweet for anyone considering buying one. Had the Blackberry 8830, then the iPhone 3G, now the Blackberry Tour. Prefer the Tour to the others, #1 (and this is reason enough) because VZW's coverage and data speed blows AT&T out of the water, #2 ability to tether (including via Bluetooth), #3 camera is better than iPhone IMO, and #4 I'm just more comfortable on the physical keyboard--I really think the Tour is a better communicator (especially when you consider BBM) than any other smart phone I've had. The only thing I wish it had is WiFi but with VZW's coverage, it's really not that big of a deal.

Yes, the Tour is a very nice phone (though I'm sticking to my Storm). And no, there is no legal work around. Yes, the rights holders of the television shows (not Apple) have every right to decide which rights they can sell you and which ones they chose not to. Sad but true.
Any other discussion of work arounds would be in violation of the Terms of Use of these forums. Also, in the U.S., breaking DRM is actually illegal.
Best of luck.
