Blackberry tips for simple use and freeing up memory on your Rim Smart phones.
Ok folks I re-upped and consolidated my blackberry posts so a lot of help is in one place for my readers. I’ve also written posts on blackberry, android, and apple that help manage accounts, find you great apps, and show great shortcuts and ways to optimize your smartphone. Hit the search and pick you poison.
These tips are simple and direct from RIM.
-Type *ld without the star. It will put today’s date.
-Type *lt without the star. It will put the exact, current time according to your phone.
-Type Myver* without the star. It will tell you what bb and os (operating system) you are currently running. It will look like this: 9900/7.0.0.576 (B2392).
-Type Mypin* without the star. It will type out your pin for sharing and or viewing.
It will look like this: pin:123456A.
-Hold both the Alt key and right aA key down and then hit the delete key. This will reset your phone. Essentially its a hard reboot akin to a battery pull but better in my opinion.
-Hold the same two keys, (the Alt key and right aA key) except no delete key.
Instead hit the h key for help desk window
Information.
-Hold Alt and type lglg.
This takes you to the event log. Now if this is your personal phone you don’t have to keep the log. Clear the event logs daily. You have no need of them and your blackberry will be noticeably different. Also hit the r key to refresh the event log as it may be volumes and volumes. Once you can’t see more to clear. Close out completely.
-Go to options, then security, than advanced security settings. In there you want to find Memory Cleaning. Do the clean now to remove data that isn’t needed. You can set it too delete on a schedule but I find that its timing never matches mine. So better yet-
Use the option to put its icon on your home screen and do it yourself. Daily.
-Want to type ALL CAPS? Hold the alt key and then hit the right aA key. This will let you WRITE LIKE THIS.
-Need to add a numerical sequence? Hold the alt key and hit the left aA key. (:-4 1-”” !2 (:2 324_”(
aka- this will be the result.
-Lastly in your messages folder hold the alt key and hit the p key. This will show you your phone calls in their entirety. If you need privacy delete this. If you want more free memory- delete this.
-Rather than looking at signal bars, you can change the coverage indicator to show ‘signal strength’ in digital (dBm) format. While at the home (icon) screen, hold down the ALT key while you type NMLL. The bars change to digital mode. A lower number is better, and anything between -90 to -50 dBm is good.
-To get the signal bars back, repeat the process: hold down the ALT key while you type NMLL.
So now you know your blackberry a little better. And it will run better as well.
Succeed my friends.
