BB Curve 8500 :: Turning Notifications Off For An Application
Jan 31, 2010
I have a feeling I will be getting to know you all pretty well since all of my questions have no direct answers in any of the literature that came with my unit.For this post, I am wondering how I can filter or turn off the notifications to the email, facebook notifications that seem to come through continuously and at this given point and time confuse the heck out of me. I am only used to reading text messages. Now I have alerts going off for Email, Facebook, Texts and Blackberry messenger.
tried soft and hard resets [left the battery out for 10 seconds] when i put the battery in the red LED light comes on i have tried pressing the on button whilst this light is on but no response. I tried leaving it without pressing the button for a few minutes but that did not work either.
I also tried the shf +caps +del [holding them down all at once] but this failed to work aswell.
I recently purchased my first ever Blackberry and I'm currently impressed and have some questions through
I've had a look round and managed to find a lot of what I've need from these forums already so I'm very thankful to everyone who's already replied to other queries as it's helped me.However I have a question that still remains unanswered.
I bought the phone with no data plan and I've looked around and have seen that to browse via wifi I have to set my browser to hotspot mode.I can browse on the mobile network but as pay as you go and this is expensive so I want to prevent it from happening. I've already incurred a few fees according to my online bill by trying to browse the wifi before I found hotspot mode.
I've found the data services entry. If I turn this off, will my phone still function as normal? (make calls, receive texts and receive picture messages?) - if it prevents my phone from accidentally connecting, that would be exactly what I need! However if it prevents this, I guess it's a useless option!
1) When I have an email, whether my personal or work, and the email contains images, they don't show up on the BB. I know within each e-mail I can ask for the images to show but is there an option somewhere for it to always show? I don't want to have to ask for the images on each e-mail.
2) At the top of the screen, I have the Facebook logo and the the number 2 right before it and it won't go away.I do not have any new notifications from Facebook-I know a red star comes with those to alert me to that.
I just updated my phone, and found a new app on my homepage. Its called visual voice mail, and when I bring it up, it makes me download a "Self Serve". When I downloaded it, it was supposed to download it to my memory card, but I cannot find it, and this app wont work. Anybody know how to get it up and running?
I am not sure what the correct name is for what I am describing but this is the easiest I can explain.When you receive a SMS/EMAIL/BBM etc. you receive a notification at the top of your screen. Today I received a notification that looks like it is related to the internet browser. I went to the internet and could not find a message there. I went to my app world and installed all the upgrades available but still the message appeared. How do I determine to which application or program the message is related to and how do I remove the notification?
My facebook app (not the facebook messenger) keeps turning the notifications off.
i like to keep it turned on for things like new friends requests, tags and comments on my wall.
i am not sure when this happens, because when i turn them on they stay on for the immediate future but after a few days when i fail to be notified by this app i check again to find out they have been turned off again.
I have a Z3 and can'tr find out how to turn the vibration for notifications off. In the settings there is an option for "Also Vibrate for Calls" but nothing about how to turn it off for notifications.
I just got my iPhone 4S yesterday. I love it! I started to use the reminders app, and I'm having a slight problem with it. I have a reminder set up for tomorrow at 7:30, but it's reminding me now (at 7:30 today) why? Also, it stays in the notification bar. How to I clear it without turning the notifications off?
When I go to bed i want to stop the notifications from appering even illuminating not just silent. Is there a way to stop them but for like only 5 hours or so
I want to turn off notifications except the ringer....I could do it on my droid....so far loving the iphone but don't like silencing EVERYTHING at night.
I tried turning off push notifications for Facebook, but still kept receiving notices for every stupid little thing. Finally I just deleted the app. On the latest update for the gmail app, it asked if I wanted to receive push notifications. I accidentally hit yes, and immediately began getting plagued with every incoming message. Like before, I went into Notifications and turned everything off for that app. It has no effect.
I tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I tried restarting the iPhone after I changed the settings. I still get the banner ad. I need the gmail app so I can keep that account separate from the apple mail client on the phone, which I use only for work email. I'd just delete the app, but it is a deal breaker for me not to have it. Is there no way to shut notifications off? Do I need to get an Android phone?
just picked up an S2 from sprint as a replacement for HTC Evo.Great phone all around, however i`m having one issue. HTC Sense UI has an option to preview messages(2lines) and missed calls right(who and time) on lock screen. This is really handy option with small kids around you dont have to unlock your phone.Since S2 is missing that I've downloaded Notify App which works great.However - I cannot turn off stock notifications - they still show up - so at this time I have to clear notifications twice - once in App and once in Notifications Bar. Is there a way of turning off stock notifications (without custom ROM)? On all other phones i had - there was an option to go to Settings Privacy and uncheck the notifications. This is missing on S2 - all i can see under privacy is Reset to Factory.I really like the phone and how smooth it is. At this point i really dont want to do a custom ROM (`ill root it if need it)
This may or may not be a Turbo-only issue, same qualifier for Lollipop as well. But, it is noticed, so I ask.
When I put an event on the stock Google Calendar, I specifically have my settings to say NO notifications. I look at the event when created and it has NO notifications. Yet 10 minutes before the event like clockwork, boom, notification.
I'm going to go into the desktop version of Calendar and see what I can do there, but this notification stuff is annoying.
I'm a new android user, I'm coming from Windows Phone. On the start screen of my Xperia Z5 Premium I have the facebook Icon. Why there is no number displayed, for how much notifications there are? I mean the little number, like in the E-Mail Icon.
I recently received a message telling me that an update was available for App World. I downloaded the update, installed it and rebooted. Now I am unable to download apps. When I hit the download button it takes me to the sign in for BlackBerry ID, then to terms and conditions and then to my ID settings! The only way I can get off this screen is to press Discard, which takes me back to where I started! I just keep going round in circles.
I have a Curve 8520 from TMobile (US).I also had a Pearl 8100 from Fido (Canada).I got the Curve unlocked and want to use it on the Fido network instead of the Pearl. I seem to have gotten everything working on the Curve, except for the email.I had the same email accounts (gmail, hotmail) set up on both phones, but for some reason now that I've switched over to the Curve on the Fido network, I can't send or receive email.I've checked all my settings, and they seem right.I can access the web, my Wi-Fi is set up, and I can send & receive texts. Anyone have any ideas about this email problem? Also, I can't remember my account username for the BB website to access my account online to change the email.When I ask to send my password, it says it has been sent to my BB, but of course I can't receive email, so I'm not getting it.
I have had my curve 8520 for about three weeks and whenever i get a picture message i try to retrieve it and i dont get it. it says receiving message for a while but then it just goes away, other times it will wont receive the message for a long time then after a few hours i get it. why does it do this? why cant i get the picture message right away?
I had to do a software update this morning for my phone so I did this and in the process it got to the screen that says:
Overall restore Progress: 1%
Current Database: BBGrouops 69%
Elapsed Time: 28:55
It has been stuck here all day! I called Fido earlier and asked them what to do and they told me to connect to my computer, I have done that and have tried everything and the problem still exists.
Got a Curve 8520 and since updating yesterday, the frame rate when recording video has dropped significantly meaning jerky/jumpy video. It may be worth adding that even when in video camera mode but NOT recording the feed is still jumpy. I can see the difference by watching video I recorded before the update and also by comparing to my wifes phone (exactly the same as mine) which has not had the update yet.
I want to buy a BB curve 8520 but I have two issues:1st is MS office like Word, Excel, PowerPoint application are already exist on the phone - no need for purchase- ?2nd Is the documents will appeare with good resolution or almost I need to zoom?
My husband and I bought Blackberry Curve 8530s last night. We had all our contacts in our blackberrys when we left the store, I was even assigning ring tones to certain people already. I downloaded blackberry for facebook later that night and all my contacts were suddenly gone. I've tried to manually put in contacts, click save, and then no contact shows up. There are no filters checked in the contacts so I know it's not that. Any other ideas?
I have a new curve (8530) and my carrier is Verizon. My curve was syncing with my Yahoo calendar in December without any issues. Since January it no longer syncs. My memo pad syncs, but not the calendar. I do not have Outlook on my computer, so Yahoo is my only choice of calendar. I spoke to Verizon tech support for 2 hours and we tried everything. I uninstalled and reinstalled Desktop manager, but that didn't help either.
