BB Bold 9000 :: Transferring From One Phone To Another
Feb 11, 2010
I had to have my Bold replaced under warranty. I transferred the data with Desktop Manager but is there any way to get the programs, themes and sounds that are set up for each email account to transfer? Or will I have to re-download and reinstall the programs and set the sounds for each account?
You have probably heard this one a load of times, but why isn't it possible to put SIM-contacts to my phone? I am a new Torch user, thought I had to prefer it over the latest Nokia smartphone, and after using a Bold 9000, now I already regret my choice.
I added a new email address to BB 9000 with my and it added a calendar for that. I have all my entries under my old email/calendar - how do I copy the old calendar (from old email) to new calendar (new email).
I am giving my Bold back to my company as I am leaving my job.I will be getting another blackberry but it migt not be a bold.I want to atleast keep my BBM contacts. My question is, how do I go about taking the contacts over to the new phone with a new PIN BUT not having them notice that I got a new pin. In other words I don't want them to have to get a message asking for "accept" or "reject" I want it to naturally migrate over.
When I got a new phone form work to replace the old one all my contacts were carried over and they didnt even notice the change on their end. I want to do the same thing but the new phone will have a new enterprise server and perhaps a new service provider.
I bought a used Bold off of Craigslist, the phone's great with no issues whatsoever. Apparently the guy who had it, had it locked to a BES and now I cannot disable my password protection settings. I want to keep it secure but it locks after 5 minutes and is very aggrevating to keep unlocking it.
My BBBold9000 has locked up on me a few times when on the web and I have been unable to get it to stop showing a 'busy icon' or shut down. Why would it do this and how do I shut it down if it happens again?
Previously I saved my 800++contacts to my sim card using a Sony ericsson phones. Currently I have a new bold 9000, I tried to copy my sim card contact to the address book on bold. It came out to be only 200+ contact were shown on my bold, the rest of the 600+ contact was not copy to it. Can anyone please help me out by how to completely transfer all my contacts from my sim to my bold.
I was wondering if someone is able to test the following sites on their bb. I dont have mine with me right now and the emulator w/ MDS isnt working on my pc. I just need some screenshots of what it looks like southernlivingplants.com & encoreazalea.com
When I hook up my phone to my computer the software won't recognize my phone. my other blackberry works fine with the software so I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what to do. I downloaded the latest desktop software and I'm still having the same issue. Has anyone else had that same problem. If so how did u fix it?
Im desperately need your help over this matter, i have sent to couples of repair shop, but still, they cant rectify my bb bold problem.My bb wont charge as the result, it wont open and load to the homepage. even if it did, it will repeatedly load the OS.Can someone give me some leads on this problem? something to do with technical errors. Btw, my battery is fine, tried switching it with my friend's bold, and it works. .so no problem with the battery. .
Background:Bought a bold 9000 the day it was released in Canada. Worked perfectly, maybe dropped it a few times but everything was working. Recently I upgraded to the 9700 and sent my brother my 9000.He had it for a week with Telus (originally on Rogers, and unlocked). He then dropped it off his bed onto a hardwood floor (not very high). Since then it would not turn on, no red LED or anything.I went over all the common steps to getting it working: -Battery pull -Take out Sim Card, and battery -Try connecting to wall charger or pc with and without battery -Basically everything listed in other posts with the same problem So the above steps (search for details on them) work for some people, and not for others.So it was dead, he mailed it back to me to try and fix. I tried all the common solutions again with no luck.Then I decided to try something else.How I fixed it:You know when your computer is screwed up, and someone suggests to reset the bios settings? All computers have a little backup battery to keep your settings, and keep the clock running on your computer. So even when it is unplugged from the wall and you turn it back on the time is right.Well the 9000 has a similar battery, I am not 100% sure what it is used for but removing it completely solved my problem. I know it is used to keep the time when the main battery is removed - what else i'm not sure.. Mine seems to work fine with it removed. It does not reset any other data it seems, all contacts, email themes and everything are still intact.Once this battery was removed, I put the battery back in and everything works perfectly now! The only issue I have noticed is that the time does not advance once the battery is removed.. Since my brother always has his phone on, and it updates the time from the network there is no big problem with this. -Again, the time works perfectly as long as the main battery is in.Here are the steps, you don't even need to dissassemble the blackberry:
1 - Remove the black plastic sticker on the back 2 - using a small screwdriver (or better yet, soldering iron) remove the small circular battery from the PCB. 3 - put battery back in and pray
The picture of my bold with the battery removed is here: bold_9000 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Disclaimer: This worked on my phone, but your phone may have a different problem. I suggest this only as a LAST resort on phones that are not under warranty anymore. I will not be blamed for anyone breaking their phone (more?).
No Red light Nothing. When I read another post on the fourm they indicated to take the battery out for 8 hours and replace it I did and boom he ed light appeared and I tried to quickly connect to desktop manager and download 4.6 and midway through the bold went dead again no red light nothing. After multiple attempts it came on again but for only 5 min and went out. I have critical data I need to recover. Any suggestions ?
I am using Rogers 4.6.0.303 firmware, and when i charge my phone overnight it only charges until the halfway point. Is this caused by a faulty battery or firmware glitch?? I have no idea why this is happening all of a sudden! I keep my wifi off and keep it on 2g most of the time.
My phone was playing up, mainly the Facebook app. So I deleted the app, then reinstalled it. Next thing I know, all my contacts have been deleted, and I don't know where they have gone! Help!
I was adding a custom ringtone and accidentally edited vibrate and hit replace all.Now it no longer rings on any profile.and yes i did change it so it plays a ringtone again, and nothing.I even restored the profiles to yesterdays backup.and nothing works.
My Bold 9000 will not setup email. The only option showing in setup wizard is to use a work email account with BES which I do not have or want. I want to setup the email to be accessed by WiFi and not the phone. How do you do this? Thank you very much.
My daughter was playing with my phone yesterday and now when I try to dial out it brings me to the screen but I have to hit the number twice before it will actually dial. How can I fix this?
This is the second BB Bold 9000 I have had this problem with.My phone will not reboot. I get the endless loop of:
red light white screen with black clock
The first time, ATT told me that I needed a new phone. Didn't cost me anything but is a pain in the **bleep** since I have no other phone and I have to walk 4 miles to find a working payphone. Had to do w/o a phone for a week.I have tried removing and reinserting the battery, to no avail.It is now 712 EDT (GMT -5). I will check back later this evening.
a few days ago about my blackberry 9000 that would not turn on or be recognized no matter what i did when connected through usb to the pc, instead it flashed 4 red lights over and over.i drained the battery in my friends husbands bold 9000 till it was fully dead to test out a theory: i popped it in mine and put the blackberry on charge - no lights at all and no lights now (its been charging 10 hours in a wall plug)does a bricked (this is what the shop techie said when taking it to him for a fix and then refused to fix it for me cause its a paperweight) blackberry still charge up normally? mine isnt charging the battery so im wondering if the reason its undetectable by my pc is because the charging ports faulty or is it standard that a bricked blackberry no longer bothers to charge your battery because it wont turn on
Why can't RIM develop a Bold 9xxx with the body of the Bold 9000 with larger memory, Trackpad, better camera? They've done it with the Tour and Curve. Plus they've got all the parts available already, just need a little engineering to fit the trackpad and everything else. C'mon RIM. We know you can do it. I'm sure you'd sell millions of them.
I'd really appreciate knowing if anyone has a fully functioning 9000 after upgrading to 5.0.0.822. Perhaps they can help those of us who can't get ring tones without routine battery pulls.
I'm purchasing a used Bold for $10. The owner says she did a master reset by pressing ctrl+alt+del. The phone went black and only the red indicator light comes on. Did the battery pull and charged it for hours but still nothing. Next steps? What may have happened?
Whenever I am on a call, if some one else tries to dial my number, they get the busy dial tone (engaged call). How do I make it call waiting? I tried to find the solution from my service provider but he says it can be done with some option configuration on the phone...
Screen won't go to anything else, says Platform 4.0.0.247 at top of screen. I can go into any of the applications but cant get back to my home screen or anything else. Will only connect to desktop manager sporadically.
How do i set up the number of rings on my phone, before it goes to voicemail ? Can't find this in instruction book, or voicemail prompts on phone. My carrier is AT&T. Thanks for any help.
my name is Lisa and I have a bold 9000 I was recently trying to sync my phone to my computer by using the desktop manager... It prompted me for the blackberry password on my computer. I entered my CORRECT!!! Password numerous times until it said one last attempt or all memory will be erase.. Being that the CORRECT password was not working I went to the password options on my bold and disabled the password.. As I attempted this a prompt showed up and said type in "blackberry" so I did then it said type in password, I typed in the correct password once again then it started wiping my phone.This is extremely frustrating I have... Well had =[... A lot of stuff on my phone and now it is all gone! And to top it all off it will not start up again, it says "reload software:513"I don't understand why this happened and I found several other people on online forums who have had the same problem with no solution.Please help! Is my phone completely wiped out for good?
I have a BB Bold9000 (v4.6.0.147). while i'm on the phone with someone, and i have to save a phone number, is there any other way besides "Add new contact"? if i just type in the number it disappears right after the conversation is over (instead of having it on the screen after the call is over). if i type the no and click the green Call button it just disappears faster.
