BB Bold 9650 :: Watching Movies While In Another Country
Aug 31, 2010
I'm going to be leaving for Europe soon and have a couple of really long layovers. I was hoping to be able to watch a couple of movies on my blackberry while I wait. I thought I would just watch something out of my Netflix account but they will not stream movies outside the US due to licensing issues. My question is this: Is it possible to watch streaming movies while outside the US and if so, by what means?
Also, one more question, I had heard that I can't use Skype from Europe to call another Skype user back home in the States. Is that true?
I have an unlocked Blackberry Bold 9560 from Verizon wireless. I took the phone with me to Israel and got a sim card and blackberry service through a carrier here called cellcom. Everything appears to be working fine except for SMS.When I text some people they never get the text and I get no bounce back informing me of an error. On the other hand some people I can text fine. I think the problem has something to do with the country code and the leading 0 infront of all numbers here. All the numbers are stored in my phone as such.. 052-796-0124. The country code is +972 but does not need to be dialed. I can call these numbers no problem from my address book, but when I text there is no problem. When I recieve a text from people who I myself cannot text, I can reply no problem to their inital text. I cannot start a conversation however. I have tried playing with those smart dialing settings. I changed the country to Israel and have tried leaving it as a USA number and saying the numbers are 9 digits and to not dial the 1. Neither option works.Any ideas here?
I recently got some movies from a friend's laptop to my blackberry bold3 9650 but when i tried to play the movies, they were blurred. Each one of them.i checked the format and they were all in avi. format. I think the format has something to do with the problem.
i was just curious as to what people think about actually sitting down and watcing a full movie on the iphone. as a filmmaker, it seems completely absurd... i'm not talking about he occasional Internet video... i mean like trying to put the dark knight on there and having a viewing.it just seems retarded.i guess legendary director david lynch said it best:http://www.Internet.com/watch?v=wkiiroicvz0
but seriously, without a bunch of easily offended people bickering, what are the opinions? i really don't want this to become an argument, just discuss it.
I have an iPhone 4 and I want to watch Blu-Ray movies from iTunes. Is there a program that is recommended by anyone that will convert the BD movies so they are veiwable on an iPhone? A friend of mine has an iPhone 4S and is wanting to do the same.
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 20 inch iMac, Mid 2009, C2D, 2GB
watching movies (.avi, .mkv, .wmv) on HTC sensation.I have tried the mobo player and rock player lite. When I use 'hardware decoding mode' after playing for like a good 5~10 mins, the audio is lost. The video however is continue playing.Then I tried 'Software decoding mode', the video/audio is alright, but then after a while, the movie stop playing and exist.I am guessing it's because the players are not up-to-date for android 2.3?
I have a Nokia e72 and I was wondering is there any update on flash-lite 3 so I could watch flash streaming movies. I was able to watch before using skyfire but I think they have remove there service for Symbian phones.
I have blockbuster and If I rent a movie on demand I want to watch on my large tv screen rather than the little phone, What do I need to buy to do this and how is it done.
I bought a new Bold 9650 in China and tried to register with China mobile but they don't support 96 and 97 series. What can I do now to get my email on my phone? Are there other providers in China that support BB services?
Wondering if any of u have gotten ur verizon 9650? If so have u noticed ur trackpad left side being higher than right? I ask becuz as we all may know the sprint 9650 has that. Doesn't bother me...nor do I think its defect.
Im super siked the the 9650 has arrived and im ready to get rid of the 8330, but with every smartphone of mine i've always had a black silicone smooth skin and a screen protector so if i buy a tour 9630 skin and screen protector will they fit on the bold 9650 right?
My iphone 4s bought from Australia, why I can't get the warranty repair/replace in UK?I'v called Australia, they told me I can replace in UK. But Apple Uk told me thay can't do it for me.
My phone is 3 days old and did not have issues until last night. The browser allows me to initally connect ot a webpage, but will not allow me to click on any links. The cursor switches appropriately when just navigating vs. hovering over a link, but the track pad will not regist any "clicks".Has anyone encountered this or know of the fix?
no matter what settings I use on the 9650 "Memory" settings. I cann't get any computer (Windows 7 or XP Pro) to recognize the device as "mass storage device" so I can access the memory card. There is plenty of items on the card, and I can access them fro mthe decive, but the computer won't "find" it. This is with DM 5.0 and 4.7, on windows XP Pro and Windows 7.
I purchased the 9650 bold a few weeks ago. I do not do a lot of texting, but when I do, the texts are pretty long. On my old BB I hit the back arrow key and it saved to draft, (i would often have 4-5 texts in draft before I sent all out) If im not mistaken you cant do this on the new 9650?? Do I need to get an application to assist with this? ANy suggestions? Sorry if this is a rookie question but...Im a rookie when it comes to these phones.
When I upgraded my 9630 to my new bold 9650 I had a 16gb micro sd card in the 9630. I copied all of the files from my card to my computer, put the 16gb card in my 9650 and formatted the card. I then copied all of the files from my computer back to the sd card and put the card back in the 9650. All seems to be ok, I have my pictures etc. When I go to connect my BB 9650 to my computer I get a message on the BB that says: "Content rights do not match this device. Please insert the media card back to the right device." this only happens if I have the memory option set to "Auto enable mass storage mode storage set to NO" Any ideas? Thank You
Is anyone else having trouble using the "Vibrate in Holster" setting? My 8330 would automatically switch to vibrate when I put it in my holster that has the magnetic closure. My 9650 fits in the same holster but doesn't seem to switch to vibrate even though I have that setting chosen under my sounds profiles.
Just wondering if I get a Bold 9650 next week and I back it up with all my apps and settings from my backed up Storm2 9550 file will that happen successfully or should I just reload all apps from scratch?
BTW: I have SocialScope on my Storm2 will it be an easy transfer to my Bold 9650?
i used to always watch videos off Internet on my bb. but since i updated it, its impossible for me to watch anything. its buffering forever and never plays. also when i updated, i had to install bbworld and all my apps wich is weird.
Anyone else have this problem? I usually sleep with my Bold in bed with me (who doesn't) lol, and have been waken up many times to a sizzling hot phone. like burning up hot. I put it on the nightstand and seems to cool down. but I always slept with my tour laying next to me in bed, and it never got that hot. Please let me know, or test this theory tonight Just want to make sure it is not a bad phone or battery. thanks for your time.
Not being weird its my alarm clock and i don't have a nightstand on my side of the bed and I sure as heck am not leaving it on the nightstand with my wife's bold. mine needs comfort lol. Also i realize this may have been posted before, but i am more looking for 9650 specific threads. and more charging specific threads as well.
Is the keyboard on the 9650 exactly the same as the 9630? Or is it the same as the keyboard on the 9700? The keyboard on the 9700 is much nicer in my opinion to that of the 9630 as its a little wider it seems and keys seem a touch bigger.
Since my contract is up on Sunday (for me and my mom anyways, my dads isn't until october, so they are making us pay the early termination fee or go without a phone for 3 months, oh and this is Verizon i'm talking about, but you probably could've guessed that) and I am thinking about either getting a bold 9650 or curve 8530 for Sprint, since Verizon makes you add $30 onto each blackberry(crooks). But I was looking at the features and I would like the Bold but for some reason the cheapest I can find it is $99, while the Bold for Verizon I can find for free. My question is, is the Bold a lot better, enough to spend 100 dollars instead of 50? and why is it that I can find the Verizon bold for free but not for Sprint?
I am going to switch to Sprint, coming from AT&T (iPhone 3G) and I'm currently looking to buy a BlackBerry. I will mostly use it for BBM and not necesarily for web browsing. Which is best for me, the Curve 8530 which is free or the Bold which costs $150?
I searched but could not find an answer so I apologize if this has been brought up before.I was one of the fortunate group that was able to exchange a defective tour for a brand new in box bold. I was going through the device switch wizard today when I happened to be holding both devices side by side. I noticed that the screen on the bold is significantly more yellow than that of the tour. I have not noticed this issue discussed previously.Do I have a defective unit or is this the standard bold screen? Thanks for any input/info you can give. Sorry for the poor pic below (taken from wife's 8900). Bold on left, tour on right.
I'm getting ready to go on an airplane trip and planning on taking a couple of movies to watch on my iPhone 3Gs. I just wanted to ask a couple of questions: 1. Is the HD movies worth renting or is it just better to rent/buy the non-HD? 2. Will the iPhone last the entire movie without being connected to a charger?
