BB Curve 8350i :: Direct Connection Set To Default Auto Connect
Feb 12, 2010
Anyone know how to set the direct connect to auto default another direct connect phone? sorry I am so new to blackberry period, I have had all moto phones since it started. I am not likeing it too much cause the battery for life for me sucks, I still have time to return my 8350i which I am seriously thinking on doing.
I am a truck driver and I find it very hard to use compared to my I880 which I have my dc connect automatically to my dispatch, battery life barely lasts me the day. I am told the battery life on blackberry's are suppose to be great.Is there settings I should need to tweek on it?

When I got 8350i I liked that it had walkie-talkie feature.
Only problem is NONE of my friends have walkie-talkie, hence I cannot use it.
So if anyone out there, male/female interested in using this, hit me up.
btw, I'm in cali (but diff timezone is ok)

I just updated my blackberry and I have a question. Prior to updating I used the PTT key just to turn on the backlight. Now it brings up my DC contacts. I can't find a setting to change it back. Is there a setting? (searched the forums didn't see anyone else complaining, other boards had people asking about it with no answers)
The only other problem I've seen with the update is last night I was on the phone with someone on a cell phone. The call "failed" and usually I get 3 trouble tones (like oldschool trouble tone) except the tone kept going until I shut the phone off.

lets say i have my direct connect speaker on, whenever im not using it and i get a call, i can hear the "beep-beep" sound loud (it also vibrates because of the settings i have), but when i have the speaker off, i cant hear it because the sound is also set to private (speaker off), how can i make it to get the voice of the person private but at the same time make the "beep-beep" sound loud (like in speaker on)?

I've looked in some older threads and had no luck, thus I come to you with a brand spanking new thread! I have a Blackberry 8350i with Nextel Direct Connect through Sprint/Nextel.
Where I work, we are regularly using the direct connect to keep in touch with coworkers. As a result, a couple of issues have come up (and from what I've seen, I'm not alone)... I'm wondering if there are any solutions for these:
1] Direct Send My Info - Shows up every time someone tries to contact me via DC. Most of our employees still use the motorola i335 (or older models), so it may be something they have no control over. However, given how often the direct connect is in use, it means I receive 50-100 of these messages a day that have no substance.
2] Contact Issues - It appears that there is some disconnect between contacts and the direct connect feature. I have contacts stored (via Contacts App) with their direct connect numbers included. However, when they come up as having called on DC, their names do not come up. In addition, it seems that, on several occasions, my direct connect list outright vanishes. This is only mildly frustrating when 100 contacts are stored. It seems as though the DC contacts are not connected to the BB contacts.

I have the BlackBlerry 8350i on the Nextel Network, Version: 4.6.1.204
The issue isn't with MY INFO being sent out, I found the options to stop that. What is driving me CRAZY is, only on certain phones, and even if the person is all ready saved in my contacts, I STILL KEEP RECEIVING AUTO SEND MY INFO MESSAGES, EVEN FROM STORED CONTACTS, AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING!

With the latest software update (V5.0.0.807), my Yahoo icon is gone. Cannot locate it.Also, after I perfomed the update, all of the preloaded and my downloaded ring tones are not recognized. States ""invalid ring tone selected, please make another selection" for every one.
Now my phone won't ring, or alert for SMS or email, or direct connect.Video camera also appears not to be functioning. Getting an error message of "Error Playing. device media processor is busy." when nothing else is running.

I know there are other threads like this, but after a few hours of searching I cannot find a solution for my problem, so I am left with creating a new thred (sorry). I have a Nextel 8350i on boost. This morning, I reinstalled the combined3 service books, and now no internet, or app that accesses internet will work. I get the unable to connect message when I try to connect using my data plan and when I try to connect on wifi as well. I am able to place and receive calls, i can use direct connect, and i can send and receive texts as well, its just the internet is not working with data or wifi. My current OS is v4.6.1.313 any suggetions?

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've recently bought a Nokia 5800 xm and have been able to connect it to my home internet using the wlan wifi.
I can only use the wifi if i go to settings>connectivity>wlan. If i go straight to internet, it tries to connect to t-mobile internet. This also happens when trying to use applications such as bbc iplayer and the ovi store.
Is there a way of setting the wifi connection as the default connection? If not, is there a way of setting up my applications so they connect using wifi?

I have a Blackberry 8520 with the latest software. My Bury CV 9040 also has the latest software. Everything works well except for auto connect to the CV 9040. I would like it to connect when I turn the ignition on which activates the CV 9040 but I have to push the auto connect button each time which is not the end of the world but an irritation!

When I receive a Direct Connect my Admiral does not make a chirp noise as my traditional nextel phones have made. All it does is vibrate and make the low beep, the tone that lets you know the other person is done talking. This is very inconvenient as now every time my phone vibrates I have to look and make sure I didn't get a direct connect. I have searched through the phone to find a setting to change but have had no success so far.

Excited to finally replace my old I860 iden phone with a new smartphone, I got the Admiral. Maybe I am missing something, but the direct connect feature is basically unusable when there is any background noise. There has to be a way to make this louder, If I play music on the phone, its plenty loud, if I use the speaker phone for a normal call, again plenty loud, but if I try to direct connect someone, I have to hold the phone up to my ear and then I can barely hear them when driving in a truck. I love the phone, and unless I am missing a setting, the volume makes it unusable for me.

This might not be the right place to ask this but I thought I'd just try. I called CS yesterday and the girl I spoke with did not seem to understand what I was asking and transfered me to someone who was not available.Anyway, on the plan that we just switched to, Sprint is charging $5 per line for Unlimited Direct Connect, but my online account also shows "Direct Connect on Sprint" for a $0 fee per line. If I am only planning to DC my husband, who is on Sprint with me, do I have to have Unlimited DC on my line for $5? I'm not going to be DCing anyone on the nextel/iDEN network.

Apparently there is a nationwide outage on the Sprint Network. All Iden Nextel devices are working as they should be. Sprint Direct Connect devices are not working. Phone service is fine, however DC is not working.

I am unable to remap my Direct Connect button to an app or something like the calendar. When I go into menu>settings>applications>quick launch, I have no option to remap the side button, all I see are shortcuts for the letters a-z.

Software upgrade fixed many problems I was having with the Admiral. One thing seemed to change, though. Whenever I call a contact via Direct Connect, a menu will come up and ask "Remember this choice". If you check off the menu and then press the Direct Connect number that you wish to be associated with that contact, it doesn't remember the number that you selected. The next time you pull up that same contact to DC, you get the same menu, asking "Remember this choice".

My girlfriend has a BB Curve 9300, it was working all fine on the OS5. Last weekend she asked me if i could update her software, and i did so from the Blackberry Desktop Software and updated to OS6. Everything was working fine until we found out that it only connects to the internet if i use data service, but i dont want to because we have wi-fi at home. When i turn data services and while roaming OFF, and put wi-fi preferred, and when i try to open a web page in the browser it pop ups a window saying "Data Services are disabled. Go to Mobile Network to enable".

Really loving this phone (8520) and a massive leap from my last phone.
Having trouble with connecting to my or my works wifi. It registers both routers and displays the name across at the top of the phone and in wifi settings I have a black square with a white dash line and a green wifi symbol.
I have a Asda pay as you go sim which is fine for the calls text etc but I hearing not so good for the Internet.
I have managed to get the browser going with the Hotspot setting but I'm guessing this isn't using my home wifi as it as slow as a snail and keeps cutting out.
Without Hotspot enabled it tries to use VodaphoneLive and I get the message "unable to connect to the Internet, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your service provider"

I've seen a couple comments here and there re: the Phonton keyboard being "difficult", and I think those comments are completely warranted when you consider the settings Motorola / Sprint use as the phone ships. They ship it with Auto correct OFF! I came to this phone after 4+ years of blackberrying. I knew the soft keyboard was going to be an adjustment, but with the Photon it was REALLY bad out of the gate. I'd type something, see that I miss-typed it, then I'd have to select the correct word out of the list above the keyboard (assuming it had some idea of what I was after). Very tedious... So I went poking around in the settings and saw they had a auto-correct setting and it was turned OFF!

I have read help files about the default auto-kill option in the task manager. But it does't explicitley specify which apps can be added to the auto-kill list. I would like to way to know which of the stock apps can be added to the list. I have noticed that my battery usage for idle phone in the range of 30-35% (which I believe a bit high). May be the default apps I already have added to auto-kill are required by motoblur and hence started automatically, thus causing a loop.I have installed only 3 apps uptill now so i am sure they arn't causing this problem
