I have not found in a search where this is covered, so here goes While plugged into my USB port my Tour defaults to the Ringer_ClassicPhone Ringtone. It sounds horrible. But while plugged into the USB, it can not access my ringtones on the mediacard, where all of my defaults for SMS, Phone, and Email are located. So, the question, is there a way to import external, i.e. .wav's or .mp3's on a media card, to the Tours onboard memory so that the device can access them even plugged in. Yea - I know - how long can a phone be plugged in and is this really an issue. Yes - it is - to me. On a busy day at work, I will often plug my phone into the USB at my PC to charge it some, especially if it is getting into the 50% range, and it is not noon yet.
Ok, media card was working fine, had alot of work pictures stored on it and was becoming a hassle to hunt through all of them to find what I wanted. So, I inserted media card in computer and transfered what I wanted to a folder on the computer. Then I formatted the card using the computer. When I put the card back into the phone, the phone knows its there, but I must have wiped the card completely as none of the folders for video, pics, etc. are on it anymore. If I take a picture and go to find it, the media card does not even show up, just device memory.
Does anybody have a remedy for this? I already tried formatting the card in the phone but that didn't work. The phone is telling me in the memory options that 1.8GB is free, so I know it works, it just lost the folders or whatever........
Just went from a storm 1 to a tour and I am loving it. I can't believe how much more app. memory I have!
However, I cannot get my tour device to show up in windows explorer. It connects and I can browse my media card. There is no drive in windows explorer for the device itself. I can connect to desktop manager and back-up my device memory so I know the computer can read my blackberry device. I upgraded the os with no problems.
I am running vista home premium with blackberry os 5.0 from sprint. I am on verizon. I do have mass storage mode enabled and all of those memory settings set to yes (auto connect, etc.). BBSAK and Blackberry Master Control Program see the device as well. I do not use roxio media manager and it is not installed with my desktop manager. It was too slow and clunky when I had my storm so I never bothered with it.
How come it now requires a media card to take videos with the Blackberry Tour? It didn't before the update, which I'm really not a fan of because of the changes to SMS messages.Is there a way to change this so the videos save directly on the phone like they used to? Or am I going to need a new way to take videos from now on. I don't really care about the videos I lost, since anything that I wanted from those I email to myself anyway, but I'd like to be able to take new videos.
If there's no direct fix to that is there a way to change back to the old OS before the update? Because, frankly, I don't like this one at all. It added nothing of any value and destroyed the ability for me to take videos and made the text messages screen look insanely dumb.
I have ringtones assigned to different people in my contact list.Unfortunately, for one person, the ringtone I have assigned for him doesn't play. Instead, a wimpy US Cellular tone plays, which is very quiet and doesn't get my attention. I have tried over and over again to have a different ringtone play, and it shows it as being the assigned ringtone for calls from this person, but the wimpy US Celluar ringtone plays instead. How do I get the correct ring tone to play? I have this with other contacts as well.I also want the same ringtone to play when I get a text message, but a standard ringtone plays instead.
I've noted that after adding ringtones (all saved on my 8gb microSD card) it is super slow scrolling through them. It is most noticeable when trying to set a custom ring tone for contacts. Does anyone know why this is? Or has anyone else had this problem? It makes it take forever when trying to set those ringtones so that I know when certain people are calling. I have a Tour from Verizon.
I have been receiving the following notice on my tour: "you are attempting to open a secure connection, but the server's certificate is not trusted." The weird thing is it happens when the phone is sitting ideal and not in use
When I view the certificate it looks like the phone is trying to contact google.com.
I haven't set anything different for anyone, but yet I get different ringtones and text tones sometimes for different people, can i reset all tones, if so how?
I got my first BlackBerry a couple of months ago, the Tour 9630 with Verizon, which I've loved to far, except. Last week I created a couple of ring tones from two mp3 files and downloaded them in my BlackBerry without setting up with any feature, but they set themselves up as regular ring tones and I cannot stop them from playing now!
Since the day after I downloaded them, every time I've received a new e-mail, I've gotten my regular ring tone (GungHo) and then custom ring tone #1 starts playing and is unstoppable unless I completely turn off the BlackBerry! So I deleted it from the My Ring Tones folder, but that hasn't changed a thing. I've tried to change my regular e-mail ring tone and the change got implemented, so I get the new ring tone I've just set, but I still get custom ring tone # 1 right after! And it is almost 1 minute long!
Other weird thing, custom ring tone # 2 has started playing every time I hang up my phone! Who needs that?! I haven't deleted that one yet from the My Ring Tones folder because I'm not sure if that'll help, but this is extremely frustrating.
I just got my tour this week, and haven't been able to figure out how to just have vibration when I get emails without the ringtone or chime following after.And I'm talking about when the profile is not on Vibration. I just want the email notifications to be on vibrations when the profile is on active or loud or medium. I didn't have an issue with the Curve in doing this.What am I doing wrong?
I click Sounds Scroll down to ring tones/alerts click ringtones/alerts click messages.Then click the email I want to change the settings to and then I have the following settings:
Ring Tone: BBpro_Sanguine volume:silent. led: on vibration: on notify me during calls: NO
I plan on giving away my 9630 Tour because I got a new phone, so I was wondering, do I need to remove the SIM card from the device? I've never used the Tour out of the country and my phone line is already on my new phone. I've already wiped it clean and reinstalled a fresh OS 5.0.
It's the one from Desktop Manager. I installed it but once I opened it, I'm pretty sure I'm never going to use it. Can I get rid of it? When it was downloading, it said the size of it was 133 MB, so if I can delete it, I would like to.
I just upgraded to the new official VZW 5 OS, and the only evidence I see of PTT is in the options... there is a "PTT Options" menu. I can set it to enabled, but I don't see any apps to use it, and I can't set it as a convenience key. Do I need to add PTT to my account or something?
Since upgrading to the 5.0 software I no longer have the option to send media via bluetooth. Can anyone provide guidance on how to get this feature back?
When i go into the Media file, go to ringtones and select my ringtones, it wont show the tones that are on my memory card. It did until i set up desktop manager and then i dont know what i did but they dont show. I know they are there because i did a hard reset and pulled the battery, also removed the media card, when it scanned i saw it show all the ringtones then watched em all come off. how can i fix this to be able to view them?
I upgraded to Tour from Curve, love the Tour. Is there a way to 1 button press into speaker phone. The curve had it. It seems w/tour-press Alt key then speaker, a little more with one handed operation.
Verizon Tour 9630. I am not using an SD card and I'm trying to mount the internal memory as a drive in Windows, so that I can access and download pictures taken with the camera. When I plug it in, Windows mounts a removable drive but doesn't let me access it (insert card). Storage class driver is turned on (or off, makes no difference). BB desktop is installed, but doesn't help.
I currently have a Sprint BB Tour 9630 and I will be traveling to Spain. I want to keep my service with Sprint because I am still under contract, but I do not want to be charged an arm and a leg to use the international plan that Sprint offers. So I want to have someone rig the phone so that I will be able to use it in Spain through Sprint without being charged the international plan by Sprint. (I do not know the proper term for this but I was told by someone who I could go to to have this done so that I can use the phone just as I would if I were in the US).I also have been looking up phones that have quad band and I am most interested with the iphone clone since it has slots for dual SIM cards. My initial thinking is to take the SIM card from my BB Tour and get a SIM card with a Spanish number and use both SIM cards on this iphone clone, but I do not know if I will be able to take the SIM card from my BB Tour and use it in the iphone clone (due to the size of the SIM card as well as other factors).
One of my users is seeing this error after receiving a replacement phone (9630). This happens when he tries to access the card. If he tries to format the card a similar message is generated.
"media card cannot be accessed due to fatal errors"
The media card works fine on other Blackberry's and his computer. He has tried three other media cards in the phone and all generate the same message. The phone worked fine and did not generate this error prior to being wiped and configured for this user. The media card was fine.
I googled the error and noticed numerous instances where this is a problem with the phone. I don't understand why wiping the phone would cause the media card function to stop working.
We have wiped the phone twice, there are no pictures or data to preserve, we just want it to work.
I work for a large Banking group. The Bank uses Vodafone as their provider (i have a work phone). Last week i needed to change my password which i did. But as luck would have it i made it so complicated i forgot what i changed it to. My IT dept unlocked the devise the following day BUT the MEDIA CARD is asking me for the password to access my pictures. I have no idea what my password (the one i changed to) is and therefore cannot see any of the pictures from my wedding or my kids. DOES ANYONE know how i can access my media card to see my pictures again.
My company recently introduced a security policy that disallows the use of any from of external drives and I wasn't aware of this and i connected my phone to my laptop and couldn't access it and afterwards i noticed that i didn't have access to my files on either the device memory or memory card.I have tried saving stuff into them via bluetooth or from other systems but it won't show when i view it via my phone, however i can see the files on the system i can view the files. When i try to view the contents of the media card through the file manager i see that all the folders on the media card are showing as .exe files.I have tried to reformat the media card all to no avail.
I need to know how to access my media card on my phone: blackberry 9360. when I download or save pics or songs to my phone on to the media card, I can't access them at a later stage!
