Workaround BB Link

After months of working my way through the innumerable suggestions in these forums and elsewhere, I've given up on BB Link. It just won't sync my Outlook Contacts with my Q10 and I've now spend quite long enough trying. Right now, I'm using BB Desktop to back up my Contacts to my old Torch which I'm using effectively as a standalone address book. (For security reasons, I cannot sync my Contacts OTA with my Q10.) But this is a cumbersome arrangement. Is there any way I can simply copy over my .pst Outlook contacts file (I mean the backup .pst file on my laptop of all my Outlook Contacts) to my Q10 and then import those Contacts into my Q10?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have tried two workarounds that i Know that it work!! One of them that is the most time consuming is the following: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do;jsessionid=0CFBE4A2561994FC92DAFDD0374FBAFC?...
Depending on the amount of contacts it can take lots of time to get in to the solution!!
ANd the other one is wiping the Phone and making a 1 way sync from the computer to device and after that there is no going to be a problem anymore!!

Different links styles in body and footer?

Hello,
I want to set different links style for hyperlinks in footer than they are in body of the site. Is this even posible?
The problem is that body background is white, and footer background is dark brown. So there is no way that I can use the same links styles.
I know that there is "workaround" with linking text frames, but this is not what I want.
THANKS!
Matjaz

Please refer to the Link Styles FAQ thread and apply different styles to your links in body and footer.

Possible to have link object on row level?

Hi,
it seems impossible but, would like to know if there is a workaround to link the column's cell on the basis of its content. for example, one column called base document will have the docentry / docnum of the document from which the detail row is coming. (viz A/P invoice, Goods Issue, Purchase Order).
Thanks and regards,
Binita .

solved. caught the et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED event and on before action true, change the Linkedobject property according to need.

Linking Folios

Is it possible to link folios together? For example, I'd like to have a button in a article located in folio 1 that links to a article in folio 2.

Yes, there's a workaround to link between folios. See DPS Tips app > Advanced Overlays > Advanced Linking.

Linking BPC input schedules to external spreadsheets

Does anyone know the workaround to link an input cell in an input schedule to an external spreadsheet cell and the formula stays there after save?

Hi,
I have never tried this, but I think this should be feasible. But need to remember 2 things.
1. The link to the external file should be properly quantified. So that the file is accessible from all the client systems.
2. The link should be in a static cell. If the cell is under the dynamic expansion, then the link will be overwritten after expansion.
Hope this helps.

Z10 does not sync with Google contacts

I've had my Z10 for about a week and am trying to set it up. I am trying, and failing, to replace an Android device with this phone. I used the easy setup for "Email, calendar, and contacts" to link the phone to my gmail/google account. That account has two-step verification enabled and the setup program duly collected the verification code. All three accounts got set up and populated with the latest from google.
But ..... if I make a change via a web browser on my PC (an up-to-date Arch Linux system), those changes simply don't get picked up by the phone, even with the sync interval set to 5 minutes. This is not a matter of not waiting long enough. It's a matter of sync not working. The phone does pick up new email messages arriving and new calendar entries.
If I try to change the sync interval, after the 'save', I'm told that my login credentials were not correct. After one of those episodes, I deleted the 'contact' account and added a new one, this time using the caldev approach under 'advanced settings'. This behaves the same way (except that it requires an application-specific password from Google, rather than honoring the fact that I'd already supplied a valid two-step code). Contacts get loaded as part of the account setup, but no further sync-ing happens.
I've wasted almost an entire day on this. Googling reveals plenty of other people complaining of the same problem and over a two-year time period. You would think that Blackberry, now the 90-pound weakling in the mobile hardware business, would pay careful attention to making their software work correctly with the largest purveyor of email, calendar and contacts. But they haven't.
It's too bad, because this system has a lot to recommend it (I am a retired computer professional and spent almost 50 years of my life developing software and managing large and small software projects and I am confident that I know good stuff when I see it, and much of this system *is* good). But my primary requirement is that the phone be a good organizational tool and if it ignores changes to my contacts, it's useless to me and I will return it and stick with the less elegant, but more functional Android, unless someone has a bright idea for how to fix this.

Well, I tried a workaround: use Link to sync the phone to Outlook. I just want a way to edit contacts with a computer and sync them with the phone, and very occasionally go the other way when circumstances require. You know, like we did with Palms 20 years ago?
What I found was that sync-ing contacts 1 way from device to computer produced no contacts in Outlook. Just utterly frustrated, I called the place where I bought it to try to get some help, they were clueless (and trying to call Blackberry is a waste of time; they won't talk to you unless you have a paid support contract), and so I asked for and got an RMA # and return label.
But still thinking about this, I poked around in the phone and noticed the BBLink accounts for calendar and contacts and thought "can it be that this system, which provides a nicety like Hub, which gives you an integrated, chronological view of *all* your communications -- calls, texts, emails, etc. -- be only sync-ing the BBLink accounts, not the Google accounts?". This is correct, difficult as it is to believe. So I exported my contacts from Google, imported them to Outlook, and did a 1-way sync from the computer to the device, and, mirabile dictu, the contacts showed up in the phone. After about an hour and half. Further synchronizations, done after some cleanup of my contacts were also very slow, though not this slow, since few contacts were actually being transferred in these incremental synchs.
Whoever wrote the synchronization part of Link clearly doesn't understand the concept of complexity of algorithms. (S)he also clearly didn't test this code on a contact data set of any significant size. I have about 1800 contacts. I had about the same number many years ago when I had a Palm that would sync an order of magnitude faster than this Blackberry setup and do so on much slower hardware with a slower communications channel (a serial port).
I also found that two-way synchronization produced some very odd messages, such as telling me that essentially all the contacts were in conflict. I abandoned the idea very quickly of ever trying a two-way sync (again, standard practice with Palms).
Link is clearly a crock, but I think I've coerced it into doing what I need. I have until the end of January to decide whether to keep the Z10, and as I said in my original post, there's a lot I like about this phone. So I will use that time to see if I really have found a workaround for this ridiculous synchronization weak spot.
Hello,
I`m glad you figured out a way to do what you need to do. I have red before some other people having issues with BB Link and Outlook. I never used Outlook - I prefer Google account, which for me has worked very well, regardless what phone I use. It is true, it can take some time to sync in everything but for me it never took days as others have said.
However, once the huge amount of data is synched to your phone, you don`t need to worry about further time consuming synching.
Are you saying that synching with Google *contacts* works for you? In the sense that after you have the phone loaded up with all your Google contacts, if you make a change to the contacts with a web browser that the change appears in the phone? And vice-versa? Neither of those cases work for me. One wrinkle: I use two-step verification on my Google account. Do you? I am very suspicious that two-step verification is the cause of my issue with contacts synchronization (though, as I said in my original post, email and calendar synch do work).

Flash 9 doesn't work and has no tech support

I am at my wits end with the macromedia Flash 9
player. I have been trying to fix the problem for weeks and have
been negecting my children to fix Flash 9's mistake and there is no
phone support for the Flash 9 only internet tech support. I keep
emailing tech support with my problem and they keep sending me the
same generic email that says" clik here to uninstall and then
re-install" I tried that like a million times so I send them a
email back saying do not send me that email again it does not solve
my problem and they respond with the same email. I serious think
the tech support don't even read the emails. I EVEN TRIED USING
CAPS AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK!
MY PROBLEM:
I tried installing the flash 9 player a few weeks ago when
Myspace prompted me. now I cannot see anything I keep going and
uninstalling and re installing and now all I get when I click
download now where the install video is suppose to be I get " mark
so I read the tech note
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4a8d52ae
I did the regedit suggestion and it still did not work. I was
having trouble also removing the program from my add/remove program
in my control pannel and removing the safe versions seemed to help
that. I finally found a link that seemed to help me fairly
sucessful download Flash 9 which is
Close any Explorer/Internet Explorer/Firefox windows you have
open
Close any anti virus soft you might have running:
1: download
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_playe r_active_x.msi
2: Click Start>Run and enter
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\UninstFl.exe
3: Run the file you just downloaded
4: Go to Start>Run and type in regsvr32
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\flash9.ocx
This suggestion seemed to solve my " problem now the only
thing I need to over come is as I download the flash 9 it says it
sucessfully down loads but then I get a dialog box that says:
Error 1904
C:/windows/system32/macromed/flash/flash9.ocx
failed to register HRESUIT - 2147220473
contact your support personel
I think if I can figure this out my problem will be solved
can anyone help me?
If not I hope this helps someone.
I have given up all hope this is my last ditch effort.
Please help me!

Thanks for your answers so far.

No yellow bangs in the device manager, and, even more important only one entry called something like "Toshiba virtual modem" under "modem" in the device managaer (I thinkthat the four entrys for the 3g moduldrivers should be under "modem" in the device manager)

@xardas: I think it has, at least the guy who sold me the (used) notebook said so. The model Number begins with ppm70e, which I believe is the specific model of m700. There also is a sticker with a "wireless WAN IMEI" and a number at the backside and a slot for the sim-card behind battery-pack, which both would be very suspicious for a notebook not having a 3G modul.

With the mail problem at hand, can I relay mail through a 10.4 server?

I read all the post and get worried not to have my mail running on 10.5. The question is, can I use an other 10.4 server that is standing here around and handles print and file sharing for the network to host also mail. I was hoping I can set on the main server the mail server domain to the 10.4 server.
I just don't know if this is possible and if so, how?
Thanks,
Dave

i got a workaround. just linked to an outside zimbra server and all mails are working. I guess we'll have to wait until this is fixed.

HTTP Streaming

Problem: -
Send a huge chunk of data using http on port 80 using post method.
Due to some restrictions I have to use Plain Sockets.
I am trying to read this data and send it part by part to teh server. I cannat know the length of the data which I am sending untill I completely send my data.
In http post I have to specify the content-length.
What can I do to solve the problem.
I have to use the http post method no other go.
Hints Workarounds or links please to solve the issue
TIA
Avl

This may not be possbile:
"The most common problem people run into with multipart uploads is that the length of the data must be known before hand. If the length of the data can not be determined in advance, it needs to be cached either in memory or to a file and then uploaded using either ByteArrayPartSource or FilePartSource. The HTTP specification does not allow for POST data to be of an unknown length."

With 31.0, McAfee Internet Security marks ALL email as spam. What's the fix?

No matter the level of anti-spam filtering I choose, every single incoming email is tagged as spam in my inbox. (Also, FWIW, all messages go to the inbox even if I try to opt to have them sent to the McAfee anti-spam folder.) I have three PCs with the same McAfee program and Thunderbird. After the problem arose on one PC I checked the others, which had not yet been updated to 31.0. No problem until I updated T'bird. Then: BOOM! Everything is marked as spam on both of those as well.
Hard to believe that McAfee hasn't heard from other T'bird users on this. Doesn't it seem that there must be an innate conflict between McAfee IS and T'bird 31.0?
McAfee techs want to take remote access of my computer to play around with the registry, presumably looking for a corruption of some sort. I have declined, because I can't see that happening simultaneously in all three of my computers, nor do I wish to have the McAfee techs learning on my equipment. Let them solve the problem in-house.
But meantime, just in case, does anyone have a solid suggestion? Thanks!

re: ''but your boilerplate reply doesn't recognize''
This facetious remark is uncalled for and not polite to people trying to offer assistance.
McAfee needs to keep up to date if it intends to offer what it claims without causing aggrivation and issues to the user, but obviously informing them helps and this you are doing, which is good.
You ask for a workaround:
The link offers some advise from a Thunderbird perspective.
I've also done some internet searching on your behalf and located that this issue seems to occur regardless of email client.
On this McAfee forum, there is a similar question albeit a year old, with some advise on what to try.

Inserting Images - Image look blurry

I have a problem with FormsCentral that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
One of my employers sent me a .jpg logo that I want to use in a form. It looks good when I upload it, but it's too big. When I resize the logo in Photoshop, it still looks good. But when I upload it to FormsCentral, then the logo becomes blurry. Yet it looks fine in Photoshop.
Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I appreciate your help.

Hello Gen,
did you receive the mail I send on this topic? I've never heared back from the Feedback-Team.
We're about to release some questionaires to customers and would linke to use non compressed images - How is the investigation coming along?
Here's the testimage I sent.
And the result in formscentral.
A workaround like linking images doesn't work eighter, because formcentral embedds all images.
Thanks a lot.

HTMLPanel: evalScripts - Do I have this right?

After much fooling about with the HTMLPanel, digging through
this forum and other Google results on the topic, my understanding
is that enabling the 'evalScripts' option will result in
<script> blocks being executed when loading an HTML fragment
into the panel BUT IT WILL NOT (for the sake of discussion)
"include" a block of Javascript(s) that has, for example, a defined
function used to handle an onClick event for a button within the
HTML fragment?
Gary Gilbert
blogged
on this topic nearly a year ago.
So, first, is my understanding correct? And second, Is the
workaround to link the script(s) to the primary page rather than
within the HTML fragment?

The HTML panel evals the found <script> in to the page
where the panel has been found. If u include the functions in the
script block of the page that the HTML panel is loading. There
should not be any problem.
And yes, u can also include the scripts in the primary page.
Both should work.
