Enable BlackBerry Keyboard Shortcuts

If you’re like me, you love to make your life easier. Here are some shortcuts to help you out. I only personally found them to work in 5.0, I never tried on any other OS.

To “enable” them you need to turn off “Dial From Home Screen” to do so, hit Green Send key, Hit BB Key go to Options, General Options, Dial From Home Screen “No” hit BB Key, Save.

Now these are all the shortcuts, they work on your Home Screen or your Applications Screen.

Gmail Wireless Contact Sync Using BIS 2.8

Seems a lot of people are having issues using the new BIS 2.8 feature of Gmail Wireless Contact Sync, hopefully this simple tutorial will help you out. It’s one of the easiest things to do and seems NOBODY can get it.

1.) Go to Email Setup and Login

2.) Select Email Account you want to Sync

3.) Scroll down to Synchronization Options, check the Contacts box and hit save

4.) You will now see Enterprise Activation (Note you will see an icon on your Home Screen that says “Activation”) Once that is done you will see “Activation Complete” on Home Screen pop up.

NOTE IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE ENTERPRISE ACTIVATION MESSAGE AFTER YOU SAVE SYNC CONTACT IN EMAIL SETTINGS IT WILL NOT WORK, JUST DELETE THE ACCOUNT AND START FROM SCRATCH. I DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT BOTH METHODS WORKED FOR ME.

5.) Now to select which Contact to Sync go to Contacts app, hit BB key Options

6.) You will now see your Email Accounts show up, select the one you need to Sync.

7.) Wireless Synchronization “Yes” hit save and you’re all set =)

8.) You’re all complete…if that doesn’t work, delete the account and add it. You will see this after adding your account:

Changing your BlackBerry Email Signature/Account Name

I’ve seen a lot of people ask how do I change the default “Sent from my “carrier” BlackBerry” and the answer is VERY simple. You can do it from your device or just by logging in to your BIS site. Ill show you the easiest of the 2 and it’s by using your BlackBerry.

Here you can also change your “account name” meaning on your home screen you’ll see custom “account name” instead of “yourscreenname”@”emailprovider”.com, this if you have a long email or have multiple emails and want to know what each is setup for what.

1) Go to your Setup Folder

2) Email Setup

3) Login to BIS

4) Select the email which you want to change the signature from and hit BB Key, scroll down to edit.

5) Under General Options go to Signature, change it and hit save.
a) Under Email Account Name, change it here and hit save.

6) Send test email to yourself and your signature should be saved. It’s very simple to do from your device, but if you are having issues just login to your BIS and do it from there.

Sending service books from your BlackBerry

If you’ve ever had trouble sending/receiving email on your BlackBerry, data is slow, no browser or other things you probably just go to Options—>Advanced—>Host Routing Table—>Register Now, while that does the same thing as what I am about to post it’s not the “proper” way to send(resend) service books. I will post the simple step by step on how to do it.

1) Go to your Setup Folder

2) Email Setup

3) Login to BIS

4) Hit BB Key scroll to Service Books

5) Hit Send Service Books

6) You’re set. You should start getting emails right away, but it could take up to 20min. Your first email will be a confirmation that your email is setup. Data should now normally work also.

Compress/Extract .zip/.rar files with your BlackBerry

Here is a fairly simple and old technique I had forgot about and works wonders. You will never have to leave your BlackBerry to do the job of a laptop/desktop.

1) dL and install free BBNotepad

2) open BBNotepad hit BB key go to open

3) Browse SDCard/Directory where .rar/.zip is stored

4) Scroll down to your .rar/.zip file hit BB key and scroll to unzip

5) enjoy your files

There is also another app that does compress/extract files, it’s FileScout but only does .zip and not .rar, thus I have both installed and serve different purposes for me.

Using this mini “tutorial” along side my other for Unlimited dL via BlackBerry Browser, I never have to get on laptop/desktop to dL music/movies and I can do it on the go

Hope you have enjoyed my mini “tutorials” and I have more little things here and there to come
