I have a strange issue with voice dialing on my 9550. When I use my Rocketfish bluetooth headset it works fabulously, almost always gets the correct name, but when I use the handset it's almost always wrong.This has been the case since day 1 on my S2 regardless of the OS I've been on and I've tried all the officials and several hybrids. I'm now on the official 713.
View 6 Repliesthe proximity sensor works fine when I am on a phone call, (ie: my face does not push any buttons), but when I am listening to a Visual Voice Mail, I am constantly stopping the playback of the message when the screen touches my face. Seems like the screen lock out feature does not work at all in VVM (but works fine while on a call).
This did not happen before the upgrade to .607.
Ok I've been browsing around and seen a few things on this topic but I am a bit confused. I understand you can do a wipe using the phone and there is also this thing called Crackutil. I just want to completely wipe everything before I install OS .713 im currently running .607 and it is horrible. So guys whats the best way to wipe it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy wife's storm 2 recently started acting very strange. The storm 2 is running .428. About 5 days ago, she told me that she was deleting e-mails, and it just spontaneously flipping screens, going from e-mail, to phone, to voice dailing, to camera, and also to some some other menu's (that she had never seen before), to other screens, going so fast that the phone wasn't working for her. She She didn't trust it to even use the phone to call me, or even answer it if I called her.
That day, when i got home, I went to hook it up to my pc to back the data from her phone, and I saw a white error page (of some sort, I couldn't read what it said), then it rebooted. After the reboot, I was able to backup the data, and the phone seemed to work right then.Then tonight, as I'm coming home, she told me it had started acting funny again. This time, she was typing up a text message, when the phone started double typing (i.e., she would press a letter/number and she would here 2 clicks, and 2 characters would appear on the screen, so she had to spend alot of time removing the extra characters. Then all of a sudden, it started flipping screens, going into phone mode, going back to home screen. Then the a menu would pop up, with one of the items highlighted, but she couldn't change the option it had highlighted. She had to do multiple battery pulls, to finally get it to work.
I recently went to Verizon and had my storm2 replaced due to a crackle and distortion in the handset speaker. The new phone just yesterday developed the same problem.I am wondering if it is the result of getting debris into the speaker, and I would like to know if there is a way to clean it if so, as it is a pain in the *** to deal with the replacement thing.

Hi, I recently got pokemon red on Meboy, and since this game requires quite a bit of clicking, i was wondering if the screen can handle this, and will all this clicking wear down the screen mechanically?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else faced problems with this?I was minute taking in a meeting last week and thought i'd utilise my Berry to record notes for back up reference.so I thought.anyway it turns out that whenever i start the recorder, it would record for as long as the backlight was on! so about 2min..very annoyed When I eventually realised what was gong on, it took around 2 attempts to finally get the phone to start recording for longer but now its left me with little confidence. anyone? or do I just put it down as one of the weird and wonderful things of a BlackBerry that just requires a battery pull.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAccuracy is terrible for me. Have tried it directly with the phone and through a Blueant Q1 headset. In both cases it's rare for the voice dialing to recognize the name or numbers I'm saying, even in a quietly running car with the windows closed and no music. Sometimes the guesses are completely off, like when I say "604" for the area code and it asks if I said "644".I've read on this board about training the devie to my voice but I can't see how to do that.As an aside, I hate the voice with the british accent that reads back the name or number - any way to change it to a North American accent?I'm running a 9550 with 5.0.0.320.

OS .320
Operating on a BES
For the past couple of days, I've been unable to use my BB's Browser or GPS functions. Whenever I try to connect to the BB Browser, I get a timeout error. None of my bookmarks are able to connect either. I've tried switching between the different settings in browser configuration settings (BIS, hotspot, wifi, IE, Firefox, etc) to no avail. I also have a wifi set up at home and even though it was working flawlessly a couple of days ago, it will no longer connect to any wifi. In addition, the GPS function is not working on any of the apps that use GPS (Both BB and Google maps, weatherbug, poynt).
Here's the kicker: Everything else is working great. I'm getting all of my emails from all of the emails I have configured with the device (my work email through the BES, forwarded from a comcast address, and from my *@vzw.blackberry.net address) and all of my apps seem to be working fine. I've got facebook, ubertwitter, ebay, weatherbug, poynt, and a couple of others and they're all able to update wirelessly.
I've tried going through a new enterprise activation, I've updated everything through the desktop manager, and I've re-registered the device on the network. I'm iffy on whether I've actually pushed all of the service books to the device again because I can't login here: https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=vzw. Whenever I try to, it tells me I have use my device's BIS. Well, that's my problem. I can't use my device's BIS. Also, I have one WiFi host routing table and about a hundred Verizon host routing tables. I'm not sure which ones I should delete, as I've read, in order to get it download a new one.
The only thing I've really noted that appears to be a problem is that when I go to Options -> Status, the device's IP Address is 0.0.0.0. I'm not sure if that is supposed to be like that or not. I know from regular internet usage on a desktop, if you don't have an ip address on the network, you can't get on the internet. Does that ring true for the BB as well?
So i jus got my BB Storm 2 yesterday n im having issues with my EDGE network... it seems to keep goin to the lower case edge n then my FB n other internet apps cease to work... is there somethin i can do 2 keep it from doing that...ive gone to "managing connections" n turned off the antena n turned it bak on n that works but only 4 a short time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have scrolled through the forums reading about both these phones and i have a few questions
1.What i am still unsure of is which phone is better suited to Canadian phone companies neither will get 3g coverage but will one work better than the other like will they both get 2.5g coverage?
2. Also i have read that possibly the 9520 will be comin to rogers but i havnt heard anything recent on it does anyone have news on a release date or anything?
3. Right now i am thinkin of buyin the storm 9550 from telus and either goin with fido or terminate my contract with them and stay with telus or move to rogers. Is there a company that is better suited to the storm 2 or will either giv me 2.5g?
When I select Delete on Mailbox and Handheld it no longer deletes my email in Outlook on my computer. I do have synch deleted items selected in my Verizon BIS account. I can't remember when this started or what could have caused it. I have installed several leaks and am currently using .607.
