I didn't know how to contact RIM for support in this issue but I believe that MANY ON THIS PLANET need RIM to invent some Broadcast Blocker. (i.e. blocking some annoying people on my bbm list who just can't stop spamming)
I don't believe deleting them is an ideal issue. I still want to contact them and have them contact me. Talking to them didn't work either.PLEASE RIM DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! Its just a BUTTON that you will add to make your clients satisfied and not irritated
I've searched this forum and (surprisingly) not found any references to what is possibly the most annoying "feature" that RIM has introduced since I've owned a berry. By providing the broadcast function in the newer versions of Messenger, my berry is now subject to the same stupid, irrelevant, inane and/or unoriginal jokes/rumours/prayer request-type junk mail that I strenuously guard my email inbox against. However, while I can set up filters and rules to block such unwanted email messages, there are no such controls present in BBM and the only way to effectively counter repeat offenders is to delete them from your contact list, which is a sledgehammer vs nut solution, to say the least.
In my list of contacts, there are certain individuals who regularly send out such broadcast messages and then there are others who are thoroughly irritated by them, like myself, but then compound the situation by sending out aggravated, ill-tempered broadcasts complaining about previous messages. When you have a couple hundred contacts, it really can get quite ridiculous at times on days when a popular joke or meme is making the rounds.
So, I would like to request that the BBM dev team seriously investigate adding a "Block Broadcasts" option - ideally on a per-contact basis, but I would settle for an all-or-nothing solution as I'm willing to sacrifice the 1% of useful messages I get if it spares me the disruption of the other 99%. If my own contact list is anything to go by, I'm not the only one who would be hugely grateful for this to be implemented as swiftly as possible, or am I the only grinch in the building?
I am currently being harassed, and threats to my life are sent to me daily through iMessage, should I choose to enable it.
I pay each month a fee to AT&T to block that number from calling and texting me, but they have an open conduit to make my life ****, via iMessage. I have had this problem for a year now, and two police reports have done nothing to stop this harassment.
Why should I have to disable a feature like iMessage, or switch numbers yet again, just for peace of mind? Wouldn't it be a basic feature/service/capability that should be included, or at least thought about well in advance of a release of such a feature?
Why has no one thought about being able to block a contact from messaging another via iMessage?
Does the Nexus 5 have a native feature to block calls and text w/o having to buy a 3rd party app just like iphone iOS7 now has such feature to block unwanted calls or text. The brief moment that I had my Nexus 5, I spent a lot of time searching for the native feature and I didn't find it, had to download a 3rd party app instead.
Does any know how to get RIM to block the PIN on my Blackberry that was stolen? I've already contacted my service provider and they stopped the SIM card but as the phone is unlocked, the person that found it can stick any SIM into it and still use it. I need to know how to contact them to do this if possible.
My bb was stolen last night and I want to block my phone because all information about me is in it. everytn is active and it gives me concern. i do not trust the police on the issue. please I need to block my phone totally. thiese are the details: Model: 9300 IMEI;358033040238130 product code: 1142 pin: 277c0a94 BT MAC:E8 3E B6 50 D3 78 prd: 30231-026.
I have it enabled But have been unable to use it. Does the other person have to have a galaxy s5 in order to work? on the Samsung website is says that it works with IPhone 6, but it didn't when I tried to use it.
I am having issues with my video quality when uploaded from my M8 to Facebook. When I view the video in the gallery or from anywhere else on my phone, It's beautiful HD quality. When loaded to Facebook, it gets completely pixelated and choppy for the most part.
I purchased the Sprint Blackberry Tour 9630 (without camera) the other day. When I went to plug it into my computer yesterday to back up my info, etc. it prompted me to upgrade to 5.0.0.484 from 4.7 (I believe.)Question - after I upgraded, the lock device feature went away. I usually use the left convenience key to lock it. However, the icon is no longer there and I no longer have the option available in the keyboard/screen section. PLEASE HELP! I need to be able to lock my device.
In the lastest device OS, the email application on the device caches email addresses from emails you have received, so that when you compose a new message these cached email addresses appear in the quick list along with addresses from your Contacts list. I need to know how to turn off this feature or to at least delete some of the cached addresses. Here's the problem. I have a contact in my Contacts list whose name is Thomas. He often goes by Tom, but I don't have Tom in the Contact record for him. He sent me a conference call invitation in which he used the name Tom to set up the conference. The actual email address is from freeconference.com, but his name appears as Tom. Now if I go to write an email to him and start to type Tom, the cached email appears and I end up sending an email to freeconference.com instead of to his real email address. I'm sure this happens with other contacts as well. Since the real email address is masked in the quick pick list, it is very easy to miss this issue and send to the wrong place.
My new X6 arrived today. My initial reaction was fairly positive but I have a few questions and would be grateful for some advice please.First off, my old phone (N95) had an extremely handy Home Media Server feature. I would've thought the X6 would have something similar considering it is a multi-media type device. However, i'm unable to find such a feature. Could someone advise if Nokia have dropped the HMS for this model please?
Also, most of my passwords for internet logons and email etc were all created using a generator with random letters, numbers and characters. On my N95, I was able to copy/paste this info and save a lot of time when setting up mail accounts and other apps. I know the X6 does support copy/paste but the paste option isn't present for many password boxes. Is there a way around this please?
I have enabled the encryption feature on my phone's internal storage, and it seems to work well. However, it is working too well for me. I can't seem to access any of my data from my PC via USB. It all looks fine from the phone itself but I can't figure out how to pull the data in unencrypted form from the phone over to the PC.
I'm having some troubles with my BBM, whenever I try to send a broadcast, an error occurs and BBM is restarted. I deleted BBM and re-installed it, but the problem haven't gone.
Whenever i try to broadcast a message, the message does get broadcasted but at the same time, Blackberry messenger crashes and have to open it again.Is this because of having many contacts?? have around 80 contacts at the moment which I don't think is alot.
1] Even though deactivated, Cell Broadcast options get re-activated if I Power-Off/Restart my phone. All other options remain unchanged.
2] USB port being near to touch button panel at the bottom, sometimes while charging, touch screen/touch button panel acts weird, making it difficult to use the phone.
One of my BBM contacts has forwarded a msg onto me today saying that BBM is shutting down at midnight tonight and if I don't broadcast the msg I will loose my contact.Goes on to say that there has been an overusage of user names in BBM and that Blackberry are requesting all users to forward this message to their contact list? if i don;t forward it apparently they will take my account as invalid and it will be deleted within next 48hrs?? Not to ignore the message or Blackberry will no longer recognise my BBM pin?If after that I want to reactivate my account i will have a £25 charge added to monthly bill to reconnect? WTF
I have just bought an Atrix 4g european version. A great phone, but is there a bug in the operating system ? (2.3.4 was preinstalled) When I try to connect to my home network via wifi and the router is not broadcasting the SSID, the phone cannot connect. When I change the router so the SSID is being broadcast, the phone can connect and has an "excellent" connection. My other mobile phone (HTC diamond 2) and laptop can both connect to the router when it is not broadcasting the SSID, so the router is okay.
- add a document/pdf file and/or a file stored in my download/other folder, while drafting/forwarding a mail
- download game/ improve location on GPS as it asks compulsorily for a Wi-Fi connection; but I have only 3G data services from my mobile service provider?
For the Device Auto ON/Auto Off feature, there is a special settings for Weekend Days. any body knows what is the reference for weekend days in that screen as I live in Saudi Arabia where Weekend is Thursday and Friday! How could I adjust the work days in that screen
I received a bbm message full of symbols (smileys and little logos) and at the bottom it said "Symbol will automatically update in your (bb logo), when you broadcast this message." So my question is, if I broadcast this message, How to do so., will I get all these symbols in my symbol list?
I have my home network set to "disable SSID Broadcast" which make my network name invisible when a device including my phone scans for wi-fi's; when I enable SSID Broadcast my phone can see the network name and it can connect to it when I input the network password...no problem so far, works perfectly! but when I disable again the SSID Broadcast then the phone gets disconnected. I try to connect to the network with SSID Broadcast disabled (the phone shows a wi-fi location with no name but stored which I assume it's mine) I type the SSID name and password but it won't connect again until the SSID Broadcast is enabled.
For security purposes I like to keep the SSID Broadcast disabled but then I can't connect my phone to the network. I have 2 desktops, 1 laptop, a Xbox and a Wii all connected wirelessly; I don't know why is not working with my phone.
