How to activate a BlackBerry on a BES

Posted by IsaacKendall on 27 Sep 2011 2:13 pm
Exploring the ways to activate your BlackBerry on a BES Back when the new BB7 devices launched I wrote an article about the Enterprise Activation application compatibility issues with OS7. The article stirred up quite a bit of controversy and some really "interesting" comments, some of which told me that there is a need for some clarification on the different methods of activating a BlackBerry...

Using the BlackBerry MemoPad app in your everyday life

Posted by Jared DiPane on 23 Sep 2011 2:45 pm
I'll be the first to admit, when it comes to many of the stock applications on my BlackBerry device, like Password Keeper, Brick Breaker, etc, I prefer to remove them right off the bat for extra space. One application that I have always found a good use in my personal life for is the BlackBerry Memo application, and it led me to wonder if everyone else saw the same real life uses. Let's hit...

Why I use Evernote (and you should too!)

Posted by Adam Zeis on 22 Sep 2011 3:07 pm
I'll admit I was a late adopter to the Evernote game. I never really saw the need for it and since I was a big notebook user (still love my Moleskines) I figured I could get by without it. I tried something like 3 or 4 times to get into it, but each time I'd grow bored and give up. On my last attempt to make it work for me, I finally figured out ways to make it work for me and prove itself...

Here's another one of those real world stories turned CrackBerry blog post... last night Miss CrackBerry was on her BlackBerry Bold 9900 texting with her sister, when for some unknown reason out of no where she receives an error message saying Mobile equipment status failed. She showed it to me and asked me what it meant, to which I replied that I had no clue. Since my time on BlackBerry, that...

Powering down your BlackBerry - Turn Off vs. Full Power Off

BlackBerry devices have a lot of options and settings to be configured to each users liking, but sometimes these settings can be very cumbersome. You're not sure which is the correct option to choose let alone how the device will function after making a change. Recently I have been seeing a lot of questions pop up in the forums from users asking "Should I turn my device off using the Turn Off...

BlackBerry Quick Tip: What's this icon mean?

Posted by Michelle Haag on 17 Sep 2011 6:19 pm
When you become a BlackBerry owner, it's like you learn a whole new language. Not only is there new terminology to learn, but your screen will soon be home to all kinds of icons and notifications. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but others aren't so obvious to new users, and sometimes getting rid of notifications can be just as confusing. The picture above has been floating around...

JVM Error 102 on your BlackBerry? Try this solution BEFORE wiping!

Posted by Kerri Neill on 16 Sep 2011 12:48 pm
So as I was getting ready to hit the sack last night, I decided to give my 9930 a battery pull. It had been a bit sluggish for the last hour and I figured it couldn't hurt right? I was wrong. I set my BlackBerry down while it rebooted and went to turn off the hall light. When I came back, my beloved BlackBerry was showing me the white screen of death. I hadn't installed or deleted any apps in...

Quick Tip: How to change number of icon rows on BlackBerry 7 devices

Posted by Jared DiPane on 13 Sep 2011 2:23 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] One of my favorite features of BlackBerry 6 and BlackBerry 7 is the ability to change the number of rows of icons that appear on the home screen without needing to install a custom theme like previously required. In BlackBerry 6 you needed to go to the options menu from the home screen to set the number of rows, but on BlackBerry 7 the setting...
