i just recieved my blackberry charger pod to finnally turn on my blackberry.. but the computer dosent read my phone at all it charges yes but cant reconqnize it at all and my usb conection on my blackberry does not work thats the reason y i got a charger pod so my phone only charges with the pod.. if not it does not work .. what can i do for my computer to read my phone ..
Twice in the past week it seems like the charger (OEM Blackberry Wall Charger) actually killed the battery when charging overnite !! Put it on charger overnite as usual and the first time it happened i looked at the phone in the morning and it said something like "shutting down due to low battery" Put it on the car charger and finally powered back up but then would not recognize the media card, had to do a battery pull to get it back. Couple days later got some wierd "OS system failure" message in the morning but this time didn't lose the media card. Both times when i left the phone it showed that it was charging. Haven't left it on overnite anymore but seems to be fine when i use the charger for a short period.
I'm going on 3 days, and about 20 hours trying to unlock this phone.. The only thing I could find was a 15 chapter essay on how to do it but the guy who wrote it obviously skipped a lot of things and uses all kinds of nerd lingo like "YOUR YOUR BBDM?I am wondering if their was any unlock versions written for people who dont have a degree in celluar phone prgramming
I just want to add my thoughts on how frustrated I am with this device. Although this was my first blackberry I like the overall thought and function of the device and refuse to let this crap device alter my opinon of other blackberry devices. I tried and tried to talk to sprint/nextel to replace my device with another model since they refuse to update and support the 8350i. But you and I both know I didnt get anywhere. I have recent reverted my os back to the .204. Does anyone else have any input on how to further advance my preformance of the device?
I am trying to help a friend that has a 8350i from nextel Brazil. The problem is I can't get the sprint software to instal on it. I've even erased the entire operating system from it and used the BB desktop software to upload sprint's os, but it won't allow me. It only lets me restore up to the os nextel Brazil uses. He has a US Nextel sim card in it with the everything data plan. Phone and direct connect works fine but no data or email setup options.
Sprint store was of no help, they really can't do much since the serial number is from nextel Brazil. I guess my question would be, is there a way to bypass the bb desktop software to allow the installation of US nextel OS? or is it possible if he calls costumer service and get them to register the bb pin in his account he'll be able to set up email and data?
Can the 8350i be used as a WiFi only device without carrier activation? I of course know that it would not receive any BB specific services but I would want to be able to browse the Internet and use apps that can use WiFi directly.
When I connect my phone to my computer it makes a noise but doesn't show the iPhone under my computer it also doesn't charge the iPhone when it is connected to it except for a few seconds when I reboot my laptop. When I search under Device manager there is absolutely nothing there. I was attempting to restore my phone yesterday and couldn't do it on my phone alone nor when plugged into my computer so I restored it to a back up on another computer. Also every other computer I've plugged it into recognizes it right away but none of the other one's are mine please assist I don't want to lose all my app's and music thats stored on this computer and I'm going off to college in the fall.
I just bought a BB Curve 8520 which has a 2GB media card in it. On the BB under memory the card is being read showing 1.8GB free space. But when I coonect it to computer Desktop software is only giving me the option of device memory for media storage. Which is saying that I don't have the room to save any files. Also Windows Media Player won't read the BB, it just says connect device, so I can't sync any music to the BB even though there is space for it.
The device is SIM free but when I insert China mobile's SIM card there is no signal.I really wondered why and when I put another country(Japanese)SIM card there is some signal and working properly.I am living in China so I need make the blackberry to use in China but I have no idea why the China mobile's SIM card is not working
i have an 8350i and so does my friend. MOST of my icons are white and work fine. his are colored and also work fine. how can i get my icons to be colored?
One step forward 2 steps back! I had a problem with my e-mails I stopped receiving messages on Friday and since talking to the service centre I now have 2 icons on my main screen. The new one has a globe at the bottom and my email address at the top when I scroll over it. All very nice but totally unnecessary. Since this icon has appeared all my emails on my main computer are being marked as read. They were not before Friday Any ideas??
Now that Boost will be legitimately offering a BB, the 8330, is it worth getting rid of the 8350i? I NEVER use DC, and is gaining the 3g speeds worth losing wifi over? Are there any other details I left out that would be a dividing factor?
I have a new laptop with Windows 7. Whenever I plug in my BB to the computer, the BB desktop software starts up & says " connect your blackberry device". When I troubleshoot, nothing has helped. I have tried downloading drivers & reloading the software.
I have my backup files. But my computer does not recognize my device due hardware problems. Is there any way to upload my backup files without using desktop manager? I should have use blackberry protect in hindsight.
I have a curve 8520 and i'm trying to connect it to my computer using an usb cable. But everytime i connect it nothing happens but my phone charges. I've tried re-installing desktop manager several times and i've changed the options in the 'memory' menu but nothing works. I know there is some connection between my phone and my computer because it charges, but no message pops up (I've read somewhere that a message should pop up about mass storage).
My original computer died, and I don't have a phyical back up of my data. If I try to sync the device to a new computer will I lose everything currently on my phone? If so, is there a way around this?
When I connected my lightning cable in my phone, suddenly the cable heated and immediately I took it off from the phone, the phone was working properly and it had about 8% charge. I left it for about 48 hours as I didn’t have the cable, It's had no power for some days since I lost my lightning cable - it's basically completely out of power. I've charged it once in the last week with a certified Apple lightning cable, but now it no longer responds to any cables at all.  I've tried with two different cables (neither are certified Apple cables, but both work well with their owner's iPhones) and the phone does not respond at all. I've tried charging through my computer and using a wall socket, but the phone does nothing, even after it's been plugged-in for more than 2 hours.
My xperia z2 isn't charging either by the original charger or by computer usb, a message keeps showing that the battery is discharging faster than it charges, what to do ?
I have backed up my Iphone onto Windows 7 and would like to open and read the file. I have downloaded SQLite Database browser. Either, how do I use that to read my messages or where else can I read them? I would prefer not to use a web browser.
I was updating my X10 and I did as it was procedured. but about 3 houres after I turned off the X10, pressed and hold the back bottom, connected the cable and the updating started, a wonderful message appeared mean your update failed, try later! I dissconnected the phone. it dosn't turn on!when I connect it to charger or computer there is no response!when I press and hold the turn on key the red LED begins to turn on and off for about one hour and remain off again!
You've probably all been asked this loads and I've read some forums posts and tried software but ive not been able to find a solution or answer.Basically Ive just got myself a Storm2 and was told by my provider that I could sync my emails from outlook to my device and back like a windows mobile device. As ive found out this isnt the case, I really like the phone and dont want to hand it back over to swap for another device but if I dont find a solution then I wont have a choice.My question is, is there any software available that will sync my device to my computer the same as a WM device does through activesync?I have tried Astrasync and Notifysync both which throw errors up and dont work
I have been trying to backup my text messages so that they are in a readable format on my computer so that I can read them or print them. I have a number of pictures that have been sent and some important conversations I need to save; however, they are taking up a lot of memory on my phone and I would like to delete them, but still have access to them on the computer. I downloaded a free program called Appandora, but it locked up every time it started to save the second text message thread. The one that it did save was in a .txt file and was very difficult to read. I do understand that the texts are backed up when the phone is backed up, but I want them in a readable accessible file.
I have just got the new phone and the charger.. Pairing and all went fine., but no notifications from the charger (fast blinking)..I did try soft reset, forget the charger and pair again to no avail..Do the Gadgets app need an update?It does show the led light intensity changes when changing the setting from the gadget app, so I'm guessing its not the pairing problem.
