| ![]() I have so far done upgrades for three of my friends phones. Apart from four firmware changes to mine. And I can confirm that it does a back up before it upgrades. HOWEVER since you are worried. First run a full backup from BBDM and then continue. Just for your peace of mind. However if yours is a company phone attached to a corporate network where your company provides you with blackberry enterprise access. you have to contact admin to upgrade your handset. And yes os 5 is well worth the update. Initially you will only see the snappyness later you will see the finer graphic differences. Also note that you will no longer have to use 'A' followed by the play/pause key to suspend. It will go to suspend with either. You will also get access to a host of BB and third party apps and themes specifically built around OS 5. *MODS* Can some mod please just put all the important assist posts into one collective unit? As a note. Please it will make life a lot easier. I'm willing to type it out afresh if needed. |

![]() Thanks now I know where to type it. Yeah its quite funny to see now free app for something which is available by default in other phones, thanks for the link I got a basic clock from there, Thanks Quote:
Btw one more grouse, who was the smart chap who decided that call log should be displayed in messages, I mean come on how ridiculous design is that? Also I arranged my all the icons in different folders as per my convenience, next I see a nice theme, i downloaded it & applied it & voila all the folders & files are back to where they were originally ![]() | ||

| ![]() Guys don't worry that sd card is not a waste I use mine to watch movies. those 700mb divx/mp4's work great! Secondly mynumber will only work if you have a number registered on your sim else it doesn't. And in the 8900 you have two browsers if you have the unlimited data plan. (Please do NOT use the live browsers. I.e. Airtel live or vodafone live. They attract browsing charges.) The internet browser is your default edge browser and the hotspot one is your default wifi browser. So going into main screen>browser(any)>general properties>default browser and swapping it makes it change the default use mode. But not if you are already browsing. Things like facebook are still under development so there is no deployment of that in wifi. @techno: from home screen press call key once it will show you call log. Press blackberry key go to options>call logging>select none. Last edited by valhallen.282 : 4th November 2010 at 06:51. |

Will get around doing this on Sunday. Weekdays are too hectic and so much inflow of 'communication' is already keeping me even more busy! Quote:
Ok, superb. My phone is running 9700/5.0.0.680! Do I need to update? Quote:
Pin is sorted, had taken it from my status, thanks for the tip though. Quote:
Three queries at this point:1. My hotmail inbox on the phone keeps pulling in emails from months ago for some odd reason alongwith the new emails that I get. Why is this happening? It does not happen for any of my three other email addresses on vanl and gmail. 2. When I click on Blackberry App World icon, I see a prompt that says Blackberry App Worls is having trouble connecting to its server and that I should check my network connection. What is that about? FYI I am on the 299/month plan for unlimited use of BB services. 3. When making a phone call, I get a 'call forwarding - conditonal' prompt. Is this related to my missed call alerts option? Quote:
@Dippy: Mobile store price for the 8520 is Rs. 11,800. The 9300 at this point does not seem too much bang for that extra 7K, you should atleast have a better battery life at that price. I'm guessing they would include a screen guard and an extra flip cover in that, so anything lower for a bill & warranty handset is a good deal. Or you could wait it out a couple of days to avail slightly lower prices post Diwali which was inital intent actually. manson. | |||||

| ![]() Ok, superb. My phone is running 9700/5.0.0.680! Do I need to update? nope not needed. Not YET Three queries at this point:1. My hotmail inbox on the phone keeps pulling in emails from months ago for some odd reason alongwith the new emails that I get. Why is this happening? It does not happen for any of my three other email addresses on vanl and gmail. this is because your inbox has been set to forward everyhthing to the phone. Open hotmail and settings and set it to only forward emails from a specified day forward. Do it from a PC 2. When I click on Blackberry App World icon, I see a prompt that says Blackberry App Worls is having trouble connecting to its server and that I should check my network connection. What is that about? FYI I am on the 299/month plan for unlimited use of BB services. no you only have email and chat for a personal service. This is called prosumer LITE. You need the full prosumer package to get OTA updates and use app world and other services like twitter and fb 3. When making a phone call, I get a 'call forwarding - conditonal' prompt. Is this related to my missed call alerts option? no this is call forwarding go into settings and disable call forwarding to voicemail unless you use it often See replies in bold |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ok. I went into the options tab in my hotmail account, but there isn't a thing related to forwarding emails from a certain date. This thing is getting annoying the way it pulls in some 15-20 emails every few hours. Secondly, do I need to register my phone, or something like that on the BB website? manson. |
