I need your help because I have some problems:
1.My bluetoot is not working. It is visible but refuse to receipt .The display tell me all the time:"data connection refused".
2.The USB data cable is working like charger but not for date change.Wath software I need exactly?
3 The middle part button (between red and green buttons) not made anything.

1. Is this a bluetooth headset? What kind? Is it in the list of bluetooth devices under Options >Bluetooth?

1a. "Data Connection Refused" means you have no Blackberry Data Plan on your account.

2. You need the Desktop Manager software. You can get it here:

BlackBerry - BlackBerry - Sys Req V4-2 Pack 2

3. To assign the middle convenience key to something do the following: Go to Options >Screen/Keyboard >Scroll down to "Convenience Key Opens" and select the application of your choice for the key.

I just updated my 8700c to 4.2 and can I remove the update from my laptop?
also, can I use my BB as a modem? If so, how?
Thanks
BTW: I have had NO problems after updating. I just lost my 'YIM' and 'Yahoo To Go' but I just reinstalled them

Hi: I just upgraded to 4.2 on my 8700r and it works fine. Only thing is that now when I remove BB from my holster, I can no longer unlock it using the thumbwheel; I now have to enter "*" + Call button.

Any thoughts here??

Wmerkis, welcome to the forums.

That's just how the unlocking is now. No way around it.

Many thanks. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

Also, do you know of any way I can use a "today" theme but have more than two messages and/or two Calendar items displayed on the main page? is there any way to customize themes anyway???

[John Clark]

No, those items aren't customizable.

No problem. I was hoping against all hope, but I thought as much. Thanks anyway!!!

I hate to correct one of my favorite posters but there is a way to correct this.
Go to options>
Securty Options>
General Settings>
Change "Lock Hanheld Upon Holstering:" to NO
Save

Most of the things I have learned about my Blackberrys I have learned from making mistakes and checking these forums.

Well, kind of. That's how you prevent it from locking in the first place (If it's not required by an IT policy.) However, if locked there is no other way to unlock it. This came with the 4.2 OS's and has been that way ever since and no way to change it.

That's right. I can certainly use the Security Options to prevent it from being locked in the first place when holstering, but it is the "unlocking" that's problematic. As John mentioned, it looks like i will ave to live with this one ... Hardly a major problem, but annoying nevertheless. Thanks!!

I downloaded BlackBerry 8703e BlackBerry Device Software v4.2
from Verizon (my carrier), and I'm crossing my fingers. I installed the new
System software and a couple new apps (for fun).

I'm trying to get rid of the message:

Cannot install MDS Runtime due to the following dependencies being
missing:

net.rim.platform.ecmascript
net.rim.blackberry.crypto3

etc

I'll let you know if it works.

Here's where you can download your OS (from this forum)

im trying to download the software for my blackberry but im unable to do so since i dont know the language.

[octavito]

Is this Spanish or English? nice find

[John Clark]

Every version of the OS comes in English regardless of what carrier released it. For Spanish you'll need a version that is labled multilanguage.
