BB Bold 9650 :: Speed Dial Alphabet - Way To Free Up Characters?
Jul 1, 2010
Starting to use Speed dial and the character A, V, and W are used by presets. Is there any way to Free up these characters? Especially the A which locks the keyboard.
Ok complete BB Newb here so please bear with me. I have a new 9650, my gf has a new Incredible (both Verizon). When we're SMSing and I use the emoticons , they don't show up like they're supposed to on her Incredible - she just gets the jumbled text characters, no emoticons . Is this a setting on her end? We've tried everything. If she uses the Incredible's smiley's in tm's to me, they show up fine on the BB Bold . . .
I got my 9650 almost a week ago from Verizon and I love it. One of the only problems I have with is downloading ANYTHING: Whenever I download apps at the Blackberry App World, the download stalls (shows the loading icon) every 100kbs downloaded. I just want to know if this is something unavoidable or if there's a way this can be fixed so I can download with no pauses.
I would like to use all of me "letter" options to set speed dial contacts. Right now I can not access the "A" speed dial contact, it is lick as "Lock Keypad". How can I unlock these special keys?
Through Dictionary.com I downloaded Word of the Day. Works very cool. Wondering if anyone else uses this free app?? I had to actually go to their website Any tricks to automatically update? It also looks like you can have it set to SMS... maybe this is their auto update?
How do I set up a speed dial on my iPhone 4s? I am used to the bberry where I just keep my finger on a number in order to dial. This is very useful in the car. How do I get the same effect on iPhone?
Everytime I add a speed dial to a contact it works for several hours and then stops. Then when I check the details of the contact I see there is no speed dial assigned.
I have the T301G Samsung and the only thing I have a problem with is figuring out how to use the speed dial. I have names assigned to the numbers. My old phone all I had to do is push the # button and then the number and send but with this one it doesn't work that way.
I am unable to find the speed dial functions on N900 & the pictures assign to the contacts are usually blur, this is not the case on my S60 third & fifth edition devices.Please tell me where I can download such apps?
Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to my VZW Blackberry Tour for a non phone number?
In other words, I would like to assign the P key to turn bluetooth off/on as an example. I see where the Q key turns vibrate on/off, unsure as to how to program other keys.
As info, I already use the 2 side convenience keys for other things.
I am using a Droid Eris and a BlueAnt V1 earpiece. The BlueAnt offers voice-controlled speed dial on with phones that "adhere to the Bluetooth specification for speed dialing."For example, I should be able to say "Call Speed Dial 8", and the headset would tell the phone what to do. The V1 recognizes my commands (and repeats them), but when it sends them to the Eris, I always get a last-number redial.I suppose that means the Eris isn't fully Bluetooth compliant. Odd for a relatively new phone. Any hope in getting this to work? (and is this the best place to ask?)
Any one know how you unlock the speed dial list? A few of the letters are locked like A for lock, W for voicemail etc. Would be great if I could change them but not sure how?
Since yesterday my Blackberry is constantly displaying the following message: "Assign a Speed Dial to the R key?" Although it gives me the option to press yes / No, I can't actually press no! Pressing yes takes me to the address book, but only allows me to type R - whatever else I try to do! In a message, the touchpad now also prints Rs. It keeps appearing, and now when I type a message, the letter R keeps appearing at odd times, either lower or upper case. I have rebooted (i.e. taken battery out many times, to no avail!
When I open my phone app on my Nexus 5 the first thing that shows up is Speed Dial my contacts are on coloured tiles how do I change the colour of these tiles to what I want
Today the dialing features on my relatively new (summer 2009) Storm started going strange. When in the phone dialing screen, if I press and hold a number key with an associated speed dial number, the phone would dial another number elsewhere on the speed dial list (e.g. press and hold "3" made the phone speed dial the phone number assigned to "5"). After removing and replacing the battery and rebooting, the trouble didn't clear.In fact, things got stranger. The phone would not dial voicemail when the "1" key was held down (even though the speed dial list still listed the correct number, etc.) When I cleared and tried to refill my speed dial list, no number keys on the keypad would make the speed dial spring into action. But, pressing and holding the "3" key did make the phone ask if I wished to assign a speed dial to the number "5" as though that were the key I'd been pressing.Suggestions?
I was trying to set the speed dial function by selecting call settings, then FDN. However it requested for PIN2. What's the default PIN2 for this phone?
My former Android phone had an app that was able to speed dial one of 8 people even when the phone was locked. It appeared on the lock screen and was able to dial one of 8 numbers with a single press and swipe. It dialed based on the direction of the swipe.
Is there something similar for Windows 10 Phone? I'd rather not need to unlock the phone in order to dial one of my most called contacts.
It doesn't have to be an app that behaves exactly like this. Just curious how others have efficiently handled speed-dial.
I still am unable to change the locked speed-dial codes. Here are the steps I'm taking:
- press the green phone key, the phone dial pad appears;
- press the blackberry "menu" key, scroll down menu and select "view", then "speed dial list";
- highlight the "A" Lock Keypad, then press the "select" ball : result screen goes dark and have to hit unlock button; or alternatively, execute same steps, except press the "enter/return" on keyboard: result screen is locked.After reading the instructions; they mentioned pressing the "enter" symbol at the far right,I don't have an enter button as noted, what am I missing?
How do I create a speed dial number? Meaning I press one button and the phone dials (my wife!). I can't find it in the manual and have tried looking under every setting. I thought it existed in the contacts area as an option for the contact but I don't see it there now.
I usually hold down "1 but for some reason that's not working anymore. When I do that it asks me, "Assign a Speed Dial to the W key?". I'm not sure why it doesn't work, heck, I hardly even need to check it.
I just received my new Lumia 900 yesterday. Searched the forum for an answer, bot no luck. Question is,can the one assign contacts to the phone speed-dial as on previous phones (in my case Nokia E7).?
