OK, don’t ask me how, but I came across the BlackBerry - Lifestyle page, and there at the bottom was a link to view ALL Applications and Services which yielded this - Applications and Services Index. Could this be the precursor to a BlackBerry AppStore? Unfortunately it is NOT BlackBerry Browser friendly (at least not for pre 4.5 OS?), but maybe if someone at RIM is paying attention…. Note that this is not quite the same as the Solutions Catalog listed above (which is more geared towards commercial - read not free - solutions).

And, if you’re Jones’n for OS 4.5, just browse on over to the BlackBerry Handheld Upgrade site. Enter your PIN number, and they’ll let you know if your Carrier has released OS 4.5 for your device! I’d guess that if you have an unlocked device with a carrier other than the device’s original carrier, it will think you’re with the device’s original carrier, but who knows - maybe it can detect that and ask who your carrier is (wouldn’t that be cool?)!

You can use the BlackBerry OTA Downloader to download the JAD and required COD and/or JAR files to your PC, then copy them to an SD card, use the Media application to Explore the SD Card, then click on the JAD file to install the app!

Some links don’t work, but you can copy many of your favorite apps to your computer and/or SD card and have them right there to install after those horrible JL_Cmder wipes!

Also of note, AT&T Labs has a Text-to-Speech web site. You type in whatever you want to say, select the voice you want to use, and play it. When you have it just the way you want it, select Download, and save the phrase as a .WAV file. You can then use it for a ring tone. Save the phrase “It’s your wonderful wife!” and make it her ring tone! Oh yea - it works OTA on your BlackBerry too! Just use the Speak button and Media Player will play it at which point you can save it.

Another way to create a ringtone is to go to Audiko. There, you can enter the URL of any audio or YouTube video, or upload your own MP3, cut it down to the appropriate size for a ringtone, and then save it. There’s lots more the site is and will be doing too.

Blackberry Setup Instructions

A Blackberry is a mobile phone and email device. You can also access the internet and use it as a personal organiser. It was designed and manufactured by Research In Motion (RIM).

Overview

What is a Blackberry?

According to the Blackberry website , a Blackberry is:

Picture of a Blackberry device“BlackBerry® is a leading wireless connectivity solution, providing access to a wide range of applications on a variety of wireless devices around the world. It combines award winning devices, software and services to keep mobile professionals connected to the people, data and resources that drive their day.”

What does that mean? In short, it means that a Blackberry is a mobile phone and a PDA that receives email - all built into one device. It has a small keyboard built into it, and can be used to make phonecalls, send and receive SMS messages, send and receive email, browse the Internet and as a personal organiser.

What does it do?

As mentioned above, a Blackberry can be used to make phonecalls, send and receive SMS messages, send and receive email, browse the Internet and as a personal organiser. One of the main advantages of Blackberry is that it uses ‘push‘ technology for email, so that when an email is sent to you it is ‘pushed’ through to your device without you needing to download or check for new mail. As the Blackberry website puts it “You don’t need to retrieve your email. Your email finds you.”. You don’t need to initiate a connection, because your Blackberry is always connected to the GSM/GPRS network.

How do I use a Blackberry?

When you receive your Blackberry, it will have an allocated mobile phone number already set up by the Service Provider. To start using the Blackberry, you will need to first insert the SIM card and insert the Battery. Check your user documentation for full instructions of how to do this. You will need to charge the battery before you can use the Blackberry.

To use the Blackberry’s email, you will need to check with your Service Provider what email address you have been allocated. All Blackberry’s will have an email address based on the Service Provider that they originated from. For example, if your Blackberry is with O2, then it will have an email address associated with it similar to ‘yourname@O2email.co.uk’, or a T-Mobile Blackberry email address will be similar to ‘yourname@instantemail.t-mobile.co.uk’. Any emails that are sent to that address will be automatically pushed through to your Blackberry (unless you have set up a filter on the webclient).

Why do I have a separate email address for my Blackberry?

When you receive your Blackberry, it knows nothing about your University of Liverpool email account - even if you have received it through Liverpool University Telephone Services. The Blackberry will initially only work with the email account that has been set up by the Service Provider, such as O2 or T-Mobile. You can set up your Blackberry to receive your University of Liverpool emails, but you will only be receiving a copy of the emails. You cannot use your Blackberry to access the University of Liverpool mail server directly and you cannot ‘housekeep’ your University of Liverpool emails from the Blackberry. You also cannot remove the original Blackberry email account that it comes with. Using the Blackberry to receive University of Liverpool emails is not the same as using Webmail or using Outlook from at home.

What is the Blackberry Internet Service?

The Blackberry Internet Service is a web page where you can housekeep your Blackberry emails. The address of the web page will be given to you by your Service Provider, and you must log in to the page with your Blackberry username and password. For O2 Blackberries the web client is as www.O2email.co.uk, for T-Mobile Blackberries the web client is at www.instantemail.t-mobile.co.uk. All the emails that you receive on your Blackberry handheld will come via this web page. You can control all features of your Blackberry email from this web page, such as managing folders, setting up filters, moving and deleting emails and setting up a signature. If you use your Blackberry to receive University of Liverpool emails, you can think of this web client as sitting ‘in between’ your Liverpool email account and your Blackberry handheld. This page controls the emails that are passed on to your handheld, and you should use this page to set up your Blackberry to receive your University of Liverpool emails and to set up email filters. Please note that due to Password Ageing you will need to update the Blackberry Internet Service to tell it about your new Liverpool University password every three months. If you don’t want to do this, you can set up mail forwarding to your Blackberry email address instead.

What is ‘push’ technology?

The ‘push’ technology that Blackberry uses allows messages to be automatically delivered to your handheld without you needing to download them or initiate any connections. The basic meaning of ‘push’ technology is that information is sent to a user without the user specifically requesting it. The opposite is the more usual ‘pull’ model where a user periodically connects to the email server to check for new mail.

What is the GMS/GPRS network?

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communication, and it is the mobile phone system that is widely used in Europe. GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Services and is packet (data) based with higher data transfer rates than GSM. Mobile phones are ‘data-enabled’ when they use GPRS. Generally, mobile phones use GSM for carrying voice and GPRS for carrying data. At the top right-hand corner of your screen, your Blackberry will show either ‘GSM’ or ‘GPRS’. If ‘GSM’ is displayed, this means that you are unable to receive a GPRS signal, and will therefore only be able to make calls and will not be able to send or receive data (ie emails). This could be because you are abroad and in an area that does not have GPRS coverage for your Blackberry’s service provider. If your Blackberry displays ‘GPRS’ in upper-case on the screen then this means that you have full voice and data coverage for your Blackberry and can make calls and receive emails. If your Blackberry displays ‘gprs’ in lower-case this means that you do not have full coverage. You can reset the device to force it to re-scan for a Network Provider. Check with your Service Provider before going abroad that you do not have any Roaming or International bars on your account.

Who are/What is RIM?

RIM stands for Research In Motion, and they are a wireless communications company who designed and manufactured the Blackberry wireless technology.

Setting up a new device

How do I filter the emails that get sent to my Blackberry?

If you receive lots of emails, you may find it inconvenient to have all of them automatically forwarded through to your Blackberry. If you use your Blackberry when you are away from your office, you may wish to prioritise by only receiving emails from certain people or organisations (such as your Manager, your PA or your family, or from anyone at Liverpool University). Or you may wish to block emails from certain people or organisations (such as newsletter senders or non-work contacts). Obviously these emails will still be available on the University of Liverpool mail server for you to read when you get back to your desk, but you do have some control over what gets forwarded through to your Blackberry. To achieve this, you set up a filter, as follows:

  • Open your Blackberry Internet Service’s webclient.
  • Click on the Filters button to the right of your listed email address. BIS Filters Button
  • Any previous filters you have set up will be listed. To create a new filter, click on the link to Add Filter .
  • You will be taken to the ‘Filters’ page. Enter a name for the filter. Select the condition on which you wish the filter to be applied using the drop down menu ‘Apply filter when:’.

BIS Filters Page

  • If the criteria you have chosen relates to who the message has been sent to or from then you can add further clarification in the ‘Contains’ field. This way you could filter all mail sent from a ‘liverpool.ac.uk’ email address. Once you have entered the criteria you can then select what to do with the email that meet this criteria. The options are to not forward the mail at all, or to forward just the headers, or to forward the message as ‘level 1 notification’ (ie Urgent).
    BIS Filters Criteria
  • Once you have completed the settings for your filter, click on Add Filter. You will be taken back to the main Filters page.
  • You may also wish to alter the default setting for when no filters apply. To do this, click on the option to either Forward message to device or , Do not forward messages to device .

BIS Default filters

  • You can delete a filter at any time by clicking on the Delete button to the right of any listed filter.

What does Wireless Reconcile mean?

This only applies to devices using version 1.8 of the Blackberry Internet Service. If you are using version 2.4 of the Blackberry Internet Service then this does not apply to you. Blackberry email is available on both the handheld device and the Blackberry Internet Service webclient. Wireless Reconcile is a way of matching the two, so that you can manage your emails on either the handheld or the webclient without needing to carry out the same actions on each. If you delete an email using the handheld, you can use Wireless Reconcile to cause the email to be deleted on the webclient, or if you want to delete several emails at the same time you can use the webclient to delete in bulk and then carry out a Wireless Reconcile to cause them to be deleted from the handheld. By default, Wireless Email Reconciliation is disabled.

To enable Wireless Reconcile from the handheld device:

  • From the main screen on the handheld, select Messages.
  • Click the trackwheel and from the menu select Options.
  • Scroll down to the email options and click the trackwheel to change the Delete On option to Mailbox & Handheld
  • Scroll to the option for Wireless Reconcile and click the trackwheel to change the option to On
  • Click the trackwheel and click Save

To enable Wireless Reconcile from the webclient:

  • Log in to your Blackberry webclient
  • Select Profile
  • In the Wireless Delete Options section click on permanent deletion
  • Click in the box so that there is a tick next to Enable permanent deletion of messages on WebClient when messages are deleted from the handheld.
  • Click Save

The next time your device polls for a GPRS connection, the handheld device and the webclient will be reconciled. You can force an immediate reconcile by selecting the ‘Messages’ icon on the handheld, clicking the trackwheel and selecting ‘Reconcile Now’ from the menu. This will force an immediate reconcile with the mailbox.

What does Purge Deleted mean?

This only applies to devices using version 1.8 of the Blackberry Internet Service. If you are using version 2.4 of the Blackberry Internet Service then this does not apply to you. Deleted messages are saved in the ‘Deleted’ folder until you remove them. To permanently remove emails from the ‘Deleted’ folder use one of the following methods:

  1. You can remove them manually using the ‘Purge Deleted’ option on your handheld. Select the ‘Messages’ icon, click the trackwheel, scroll and select ‘Options’, click the trackwheel again and select ‘Purge Deleted Items’ from the ‘Message List Options’ menu.
  2. You can remove message from the ‘Deleted’ folder by logging in to the Blackberry webclient, then click ‘Empty Deleted Items’.
  3. You can wait for the ‘Auto-Age’ feature to take effect, when emails will be automatically deleted from the ‘Deleted’ folder after a certain amount of time.

How can I set emails to Auto-Age?

This only applies to devices using version 1.8 of the Blackberry Internet Service. If you are using version 2.4 of the Blackberry Internet Service then this does not apply to you. Emails will automatically be deleted from your Blackberry after a certain amount of time. This can be set using the ‘Auto Age’ feature on the Blackberry webclient. Log in to the webclient and click on ‘auto-aging rules’. A list of your email folders will be displayed. Click on each folder to set the auto-aging time for that folder.

Enter the number of days, weeks or months that you want emails in the folder to be saved for. After that time has elapsed, emails will be automatically deleted. If you want to disable the Auto-Age feature, untick the box on the left. This is not recommended, however, as your Blackberry mailbox will eventually become full and you will not be able to receive emails until you clear some space.

How do I reset my Blackberry?

To perform a soft reset on your Blackberry, hold down the ALT key + CAP key + DEL key together. The ALT key is on the left with a ‘half moon’ symbol on it. A soft reset is useful if your Blackberry is having problems or has frozen. You can also perform a soft reset if you are abroad with your Blackberry and wish to force the device to scan for a Network Provider. Some newer Blackberry devices do not reset this way, in which case you should remove the battery and replace it after 30 seconds, and this should reset the device.

Troubleshooting

Blackberry having problems receiving mail

If your Blackberry has stopped receiving emails and you have your device set up for Blackberry Internet Service mail retrieval rather than mail forwarding, then please go back to the Blackberry Internet Service website of your service provider. Log in with the username and password that your Service Provider gave you. From the Home Page go to ‘Email Accounts’ and delete your Liverpool University email address from the list. Then go back through the ‘additional account’ setup and re-enter the details, this time using port 993 instead of 995. This will force the Blackberry to connect using the ‘IMAP’ protocol, which is the preferred connection method to the Liverpool University email server. If you are sure you are already using port 993, then your Liverpool University password may have expired due to Password Ageing, so you should update the password. To avoid needing to update your password each time, then you could set your Blackberry up using the mail forwarding method instead, which puts the onus on the University mail servers to forward your mail to the device as opposed to the Blackberry Internet Service retreiving mail from the University mail servers.

I have set up my new Blackberry but have not received any emails yet

Please note that it can take a while after the initial set up before your emails start to arrive at the Blackberry. Please be patient, as this may take up to an hour or two and is outside the control of CSD. Once the first email has arrived at your Blackberry the rest should come through fairly quickly.

Does the introduction of Password Ageing affect my Blackberry?

Yes! But only if you have your device set up using the Blackberry Internet Service mail retrieval method rather than the mail forwarding method. The introduction of Password Ageing means that your Liverpool University password must be changed every three months. The Blackberry Internet Service uses your Liverpool University password to access your Liverpool University email, and therefore if your Liverpool University password changes you must update it on the Blackberry Internet Service website. To do this, log into your Blackberry Internet Service account using your Blackberry username and password. Click on Services | Email Accounts. Click on Edit to the right of your Liverpool University email account shown in the list, then enter your new password twice. Make sure that ‘Leave messages on the mail server’ and ‘Utilize SSL’ are still ticked. Click ‘Submit‘ to save your new password to the Blackberry Internet Service. Please note that this process does NOT change your Blackberry password, it simply informs the Blackberry Internet Service of your new Liverpool University password. If you have set up your Blackberry to use the University mail forwarding method then you do not need to update the Blackberry Internet Service with your new password.

I don’t want to have to keep updating the Blackberry Internet Service with my new password.

If you want to avoid the need to update the Blackberry Internet Service with your new Liverpool University password every three months, then an alternative method is to delete your account from the Blackberry Internet Service and instead set up mail forwarding to your Blackberry email address. Instructions on how to set up mail forwarding can be found here. You should set up ‘redirection’ to your Blackberry email address.

I keep getting messages about an upgrade to my Blackberry Internet Service, what does this mean?

The Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) is the service you use to configure your Blackberry with your Service Provider. During spring 2008 this service has been going through an upgrade from verion 1.8 to version 2.4. As an end user the main affect this will have on you is that your email messages are no longer visible using the Blackberry Internet Service website. To carry out the upgrade, log in to your Service Provider’s Blackberry Internet Service website and you will be prompted for whether you wish to upgrade or not. Click ‘Yes’ to upgrade. If you log in to your BIS and can not see any links to your Inbox then you are probably already using the later version of BIS. The Blackberry website has more detailed instructions on how to find out which version of the Blackberry Internet Service you are using.

I have purchased a replacement Blackberry device. How do I transfer my account from the old device to the new one?

Your Blackberry device is linked to the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS), so when you get a new device you must update BIS with the new device PIN, otherwise messages will continue to be sent to the old device. To update BIS with your new device PIN, log in to the Blackberry Internet Service and click on Settings | Change Device. Enter the PIN and IMEI number of your new device into the boxes and click Save. You can find the PIN and IMEI number of your device on the box that your new device came in, or you can look on the device itself by selecting Options | Status.

I have updated my Blackberry Internet Service with my new device PIN but I’m still not receiving messages.

Depending on which device you have, you can try the following: -

Select Options | Advanced Options | Host Routing Table | Register Now.

Failing that, you can try sending your device a new ‘Service Book’ by logging into the Blackberry Internet Service, selecting Settings | Service Books and then clicking on Send Service Books.

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in
your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST
Emergency

The Emergency Number wo rldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number
112
can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a ce ll phone:

If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell
phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home
press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to
you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if
you can reach someone who has the other ‘remote’ for your car, you can
unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor’s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked
Our car over a cell phone!’

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get
charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following Digits
on your phone:*#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This
number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere
safe.

When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give
them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if
the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You
probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever
stole it can’t use/sell it eithe r. If everybody does this, there would
be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally….

FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411
information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a
telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more
of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at
all. Program this into your cell phone now. This is sponsered by
MacDonalds.

What kind of designer that allow that much of flashing images into 1 page?
Where is the Etiquette of design?

when it started the layout is elegant, with joomla panels it’s very easy to read and easy on the eyes.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Me, My wife and My sister.

Bandung with my beautiful & pregnant wife and my sister using Garmin as my guide.

From my home to Bandung I plugged my HTC Tytn2 into the car charger and docked. The trip went well with Garmin guided me from my home to Bandung city and able to find the shortest way to my hotel which i booked earlier.

Arrived in Bandung at 6.30 pm and straight to the hotel to put our belongings first and then go for dinner at Sate Maulana Yusuf (surprisingly available in Garmin). I always have dinner at this place every time I’m in Bandung. Not just the sate, I also have the Oxtail Soup which I think is the best of oxtail soup i ever taste.

My stomach is full now, and i preferred to go back to hotel and get some nap time, only for my wife insists that we should go to the Paris Van Java and try to watch the new Batman movie with Heath Ledger last appearence.

so we went there and guess what, it’s a very crowded place, i think all the young people from bandung is there, with many places to eat, shop and hang out. You will find something for you in here.

Straight to the movie ticket box just to find the queue is long and spotted the batman movie we try to watch is SOLD OUT. (pheww, i’m glad.)

then my wife and sister do a little shopping in the area, and i am no where to go, so i wonder around in the area and found MU Cafe, do a little peek then there is a replay of Kaizer Chief vs MUFC. i sat down and order a glass of beer, watch a little bit and feel very sleepy (after a long drive + alcohol) then i go back to the car and took my own nap time.

I don’t really know why I am doing this blog, I’m not a type of person who likes to tell, or talk too much.. I usually read when i have time on the internet, but I am willing to try to do this.. for my children to get to know me.
