BB Torch 9800 :: Home Screen Defaults To "ALL" Tab
Aug 22, 2010
I've added all my favorite apps to thé favorites folder so they are readily available, but it seems every time I wake up my bb it goes to the "all" screen by default. I like being able to have links to my top few apps on the homescreen. Is there any way to customize this a bit more?
My Photon automatically defaults to the dial screen when I press the call button from the home screen. It used to display the last tab used or recent calls if I had missed one. I have scanned through all of the options and can't seem to find an option to change this.
Whenever I receive a text message from a sender like American Airlines where their name/number is a random set of numbers, it will not remove itself from the home page list even if I delete it. If I select it after I have deleted it, it's just a blank message. Any ideas as to how to resolve this? The only thing that has worked for me so far is to reset the phone. I don't want to have to do that each time a message of this type comes in to my inbox.
When i got new notifications, then you tap the notificaton icon, and you get the notification list, well mine is no longer updating. it has had the same information displayed for the past three day. any one else having this same problem? and is there a fix?
I am really starting to get annoyed with this phone!!My wallpaper will not stay onto my home screen after a battery pull or a software reset!!! I don't get it! This is not new in terms of programming! What is the problem?? Is there a fix for this or am I stuck setting my wallpaper everytime i reset my phone?? C'mon RIM! This is a ridiculous problem that should of been fix before bringing the phone out! same thing for the 5 - 10 sec freeze after you enter your security password to unlock the phone! As well as the slow processing of cpu for certain activities! I'm sticking with this phone for now but i do not have a great feeling for this phone seriously!
I just got torch today, activated and it don't connect to home wifi.It shows my ssid and says connected but when I try to browse says not connected.I can connect to data plan and surf, but I wanna connect to my home wifi.Tech support said try another wifi connection.So I went to AT&T store and sales guy connected to their internet wifi.I also went to mcd s and connect to wifi hot spots.But won't connect at home.I tried everything, And I had two boles 9000 before I tested last few days and same thing?Is it something to do with wifi router?I had security on and I changed settings in router and made my wifi home conn OPEN BUT STILL won't connect!
My Blackberry Torch 9800 is synchronised with Outlook on my work computer but I want to create a second copy of my contacts on my home computer. How can this be done?
I have a Torch and the home and back button aren't working. They work sometimes but have fully given up working and have to take the battery out. I have restored it and no luck so is there any shortcuts to go back.
All of a sudden my home keys across the bottom of the 9800 do no light up. I checked the backlight settings for display but they had no effect on the home keys. Even in a completely dark room, when I take the 9800 out of the holster, the screen lights up but the home keys are out.
My 9800 pick signal wifi in my home is slow..my modem wifi in 1st floor and I stay in bathroom 2nd floor..signal detect only 1 bar..its not strong pick.
I just purchased a new Torch and it will not pick up my wifi connection at home. I upgraded from a Bold to Torch and have not any any issues with the Bold nor my kids Iphones once they input the password. Is there some other setting on the Torch I'm not aware of?
I am looking for a thread or would like to create one that will instruct a newbie on how to clean up (or hide) those apps I don't want or use, on the main screen. Also would like to know recommendations as to best apps to have, that don't suck memory. (Maybe an app to free up wasted space?)
On my Blackberry Toch 9800, it seems to freeze up on several occassions, most recently when downloading an application from "App World."After downloading an application from App World, when you run the application for the first time, it will ask you if you want to "share personal information." Whether it is checked or unchecked, the screen just freezes up after clicking "OK."
Is there a fix for this? This is a brand new device and I am already experiencing several screen lock up issues. I have already done a hard / soft reset, as well as a battery pull. I have also uninstalled the application and re-installed it, only to have this issue continue.
Just recently noticed that my phone screen will flicker and a small red light will flicker (very dim) to the right of the LED when I am on the active call screen. It is most notable when I am making an outgoing call, when the phone status is reading "calling." The screen seems to flicker and the dim light flashes to the right of the LED,
So we've mentioned screen protectors a lot so far, and unfortunately this is another thread about them (DON"T STOP READING THERE). Since i bought the invisibleShield, and absolutely love it. I was hoping the awesome CrackBerry community might make it better. Since it's a large screen protector that you have to cut up yourself, i was hoping someone had something i can trace and cut along a line, to better fit my screen. So does anyone have anything that we can trace to easier cut out screen protectors?
I just purchased the Evo4G yesterday and I've been messing with it and I have to say, I freakin' LOVE it! However, I'm not sure if this is an option or not, but I do notice that the screen always defaults to widescreen view when I go from the home page to messages; however, that option is by disabled in my settings. I'll tilt around the phone and shake it around and it will randomly switch the messages screen upright, not widescreen. I want it to automatically know which position the phone is in to adjust the screen to it but it fails to do.
As an avid business crackberry fan (and business manager) for over 3 years, I was appalled to find that I would need to slide the keyboard out to enter my security code, especially when I would do it 50-100 times per day. As every other touchscreen phone on the market has a pattern unlock method, this is the single issue preventing from purchasing this phone(s) PLEASE ISSUE AN UPDATE/APP/PATCH anything to bring this vital security & efficiency issue up to par.
my BB Torch 9800 screen started short circuiting, splitting in half, and everything going backwards when I slid the phone open. So I started using it with it slid closed and just texting on the screen and it worked great until the other day when the screen would no longer come on, even when it was closed. I know the phone still works because the red light was flashing because I got a message but I couldn't get the screen to come back on because I'm guessing it has short circuited enough that it gave out. So my question is, I got a cheap phone onto my contract now, but I don't have any contacts: how can I get my contacts from my BB where I can't see the screen onto this other phone? I have my SIM card in the other phone but no contacts are on it.
Is there a way to reset my phone? I lost my screen for my torch 9800. I can still recieve phone calls and dial out by memory. No touch screen or picture at all!
I have had a Blackberry Torch 9800 for 12 months and I removed it from my vehicles "Hands Free Kit" and put it in my phone holder on my belt. When I removed the phone from my holder, the screen was black and frozen and none of the button worked, not even the touch screen. The phone works correctly if I open the slide but shuts off when I close the slide again. When the slide is opened I have no on screen typing and have to use the keyboard on the slide. When I put the phone back in my hands free kit, the slide needs to be closed so I cannot answer any calls or use the touch screen.
My newly purchased Blackberry 9800 has just gone blank. I'm so sure it's not a battery problem because I have tried other batteries. It just happened abruptly. There was no physical damage to the device. The device, fully charged has been on, and when I tried making a call later in the day, I found a blank screen. When I did a hard reset, the screen remained blank with the indicator light beaming red for a few seconds, and then flashes red light four times at rhythmic interval
The screen on my Blackberry Torch will all of a sudden go completely black. I know the battery is not dead, because the keyboard will be lit up. I checked & it has the latest OS. I've also hard booted it several times by pulling the battery. Sometimes I can get the screen to come back on. Sometimes I also freezes up when it comes back on. This is the first time I've had problems with my Torch.
I have a new torch 9800 and the screen does not go to the off mode while it is not in use. I have changed the backlight and timeout setting but still not fix. Even when i lock the phone the screen the screen goes blank and it get limunated in few seconds.

My wife's Torch 9800 started playing up yesterday, upon sliding the screen up it would stay blank (although it's actually on just very very faint) until you slid it down again slightly at which point it would work as normal. It's gone downhill since then and now just stays faint no matter what you do with the slider.
Screen has recently been blacking out. The problem occurs just as mysteriously as it starts back up again. I tried backing up phone and then doing an update without backup and then restoring. I removed battery both while plugged in and not plugged in. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, but it seems as if there are many posts with similar problems. I am two years into a three year plan and the cost of a new phone at this point is not great with the early upgrade fees.
Whilst I was sending a message my BB went black could not see a thing on my screen, I googled for a solution and had one via BB site to reload current software and to no avail now my phone is not working am not able to even access it anymore.
Hey everyone my 9800 torch screen is blank but my phone is on as the keypad lights up and when i tried the battery reset the red light flashes. My phone is out of the warraenty date.
