Bold Tips - Final Version Posted
I have done a very high level stab at first draft BOLD tips. I would like the community to check them and tell me either something to fix or something to add. Fix it or Add it.
I will be posting a separate page on Wifi that you can now get in the 83XX tips. I know there are things flat out wrong at this point but it was very late. For example, home screen shortcuts R, Q and A are changed. I will get to many of these and in the meantime give me your input. Find them at Stinsonddog's Blackberry Tips and Tricks (Blackberry Tips & Tricks from the Mods) |
eh, are you a "Community Leader" now?

The creator of stinsonsdogs tips must be a community leader. Or perhaps elder AGABOOBIE just for good measure and i will be glad to help soon as I get a 9000 |
Looks great!
Couple of issues: 1. Holding "Q" to toggle between vibrate and normal profiles was left out. 2. "hold mute to lock keyboard" is kind of confusing. It locks the keyboard, but does not lock the phone itself. Holding "A" would put the phone into lock mode. This is important for people who's phones are password protected. Because pressing mute puts it into standby, which is not password protected. |

Does that mean qsms no longer works for an app on the 9000? Totally bummed now! |

Saved Messages V - from message list
- This works from anywhere, not just the message list Add a signature - go to options (from the message list)>email settings, set the Use Auto Signature field to Yes, type a signature, press the Menu key, click Save. Your signature is added to email messages after you send them. Often people will use ZZ or ZX as an autotext to create different signatures and will set the device to no signature and then use the shortcut. You can edit your autotexts from the device options menu. Set an out-of-office reply, in the message go to options (from the message list)>email settings, set the Use Out Of Office Reply field to Yes. - I dont seem to have either of these options. |

I made major changes tonight to the tips doc. Probably 40 or so edits. My final step which will take a bit of time will be to review the manual for new items.
|
The site you link to for the video downloader contains script for a phishing attack.
Beware. |

Final Version is now posted except for an errata the community provides. Note that quite a few changes were made from V2 and the ATT voicemail tree was updated.
|
One small erratta on browswer shortcuts - new version posted today.
|
Realized that wireless coverage indicators got deleted in prior version. Added now.
|
Sorry - this is sure to be a never-ending work in progress...
I don't have idea matrix or any of that stuff installed. For me, with home-screen dial disabled, the following home screen shortcuts apply: x - Windows Live Messenger e - Enterprise Messenger (aka Microsoft Communicator) i - no function Also, to get my contacts list I have to first click the call button once to bring up the call log, and then hold the call button a second time. If I just click and hold once, I do not get the contacts list. In the browser, 'x' zooms out fully... Thanks for doing this. Didn't know about Q switching to vibrate. Very handy! |
Nice info Stinsondogg.

It says "Watch the video below, then read the page for tips"
Front Fell Off had nothing to do with the Blackberry.....but it was funny as hell. |
I ran across this, anyone care to give it a try and report back if it works?
I don't have a bold yet or I would try it out. wwwDOTgetjarDOTcom/products/16972/MobilePdf |
how to I use my BB as a modem?
|
The shortcuts on Page 10, Good to Know Messaging Tips... don't seem to work on my bold?
i.e. alt-i alt-o alt-p alt-s these don't work in my mailbox listing screen. Only alt-v works?! UPDATE: Turns out Rogers doesn't included these searches... so I had to redefine them on my phone. |
Hai,I am a newbie
What a great site to enhance my Bold9000.
Thank you!! |
Hey just found a weird shortcut.. if you have ever wanted to type with accents you can do it easily with your trackball. for instance if you want to type an C with that silly French accent under it just hold the key down and scroll the ball to the left or right can it will cycle through letters for C it works the same for all letters that are like this. Go try it on all the letters and see all the wacky letters you can get.
|
Great "how to" manual, very helpful. Thanks Stinsonddog.
@Caspan Great find, The Greek language also uses accents so the was VERY helpful for me!!! Thanks a lot |
there is a small blue dot in my screen when all the screen turn dark what happen with my bb?

secondly, i dont know, maybe a dead pixel... |
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but i looked through your guide and found maybe a little addition you could make.
For those who have the Bold in a holster and don't have access to the keyboard, if you press and hold down the volume down key, it will restart or go to the previous track. If you press and hold down the volume up key, it will go to the next song. Pretty much like the N and P key functions, but you can do this without having to take the BOLD out of the holster. |

I can't open the pfd. Adobe says the document contains errors.

(y) thanks for the great effort. when i got mine, i had to call att to ask about - what's this icon, what's that indicator and so on cuz it wasn't listed in the manual. the gal was very sweet and all but we were basically learning together.
:idea: your bbb tips is what every bold should come with! |

Great site!!! Kudos to the OP...

Useful Tips,
Thanks bro! |
what a pity , i could not access the website.
could anybody send me the tips ? Pls send it to fox#jxust.com . thanks. FOx |
The bold tips link off of Stinsons website does not work. Tried firefox and IE.
I'm surprised this is left as a sticky since it doesn't work. |
Not sure what you are doing. I just tried them and they work fine.

Strange. Here is the error message I receive.
Firefox can't find the server at 3083183250394357879-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com. Anyway I've used your tips in the past. Thanks for doing them. |
For those of you that can't open Stinson's tips, I think I figured out the issue. You need a google account in order to access....

Signatures for email
I tried adding a signature but that option is not available on my phone. I went to mail options, email settings but there is no "Use Signature" line. There is only "Enable HTML Email", "Confirm Delivery", "Confirm Read" and "Send Read Receipts". Is it due to my OS. I have .167.
Thanks for all your help!! |
no, you are looking in the wrong place.
|
I thank you for the tips, especially the Replicator one. I have a Bold with an SDMicro 8G card and my operating system is Vista Home Premium. I can not find the card on the Laptop anywhere so I can tell that program to copy from it. Do you know how to find it? Thank you in advance.

If you never solved this please email me but you need the Bold set to operate as a Mass Storage device either all the time, or via ask each time and then say yes. |
I like the letter A to lock, but the mute key to lock works on curve, not every bb..
Thanx BaRTiMuS for this tip..:) |
nice work man !.. gr8
