I think my phones 100% dead. It won't turn on after leaving it for a couple days in rice. I was mistaken it wasn't water it was a drink with sugar :( I took the phone apart and it was all sticky inside.

This fucking sucks.

I tried to sync a second hotmail address and it is leaving me this message.

Action Required: Leave messages on the server.

If you use an email client ( e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.) to access your hotmail.com messages, change your email client settings to leave your email messages on the server.

If the email client does not leave messages on the server, the BlackBerry Internet Service
may not be able to deliver them to your BlackBerry device.


anyone know a fix ????

since u have the phone apart, might as well rinse it under some warm water to clean off all the sticky stuff, then just let it dry for a few days and reassemble.
hopefully this "should" work.

Don't they display that message for email accounts you setup?
Shouldnt be a problem lol

fknessss. My bold has a trackpad thats a little movey. When I scroll up and down it moves slightly. would this be a problem?

It's normal for the trackpad to move a tiny bit. Most of them aren't rock solid.

Problem with Facebook sync
 

Hey guys,

I sync'd my facebook with my blackberry because i didn't know any better...
now my calendar is littered with all of my friends birthdays and events.. is there a way i can delete these and take off the facebook sync?

i've tried to look but i'm a bb newb as i only have had my 9700 for a couple days..
thanks

goto the FB options and remove the calendar sync.

yeah, i did this but the birthdays are still there.. is there a way to reset the calendar?

dont think theres a way to remove all calendar entries.

thanks for your replies.. i really appreciate it!!!

but, i found this and it worked..
"Simply connect your BB with Desktop Manager, click on Backup / Restore > Advanced > remove Calendar under Device databases. If would suggest you to do a backup before doing the above."

everything is good now. thanks!

also, does anyone know if there is a way to mark an email read over the server?

ie. if you read an email on your berry it will automatically update the server so if you log onto your email account over a computer it will be marked read..
currently, if i view an email on my berry and then log into my email the same email that i viewed on my berry is still marked "unread".
i've looked through the email settings but to no avail?

i probably over looked it or am not intuitive enough...

Thanks!

Its safe to use leaked os. I've been using mine for months now, and it works better than a official release, IMO.
Just make sure u do a backup before u do a install.

Experiment with various os versions and see which one works for you better.

I did what you said RX and it seemed to work. The battery is just dead and my screen looks pretty bad but I don't mind it. Keys and everything are good.

Anyone have a spare 9700 battery I can buy off of ya or know where I can get a cheap one?

buy it online, its cheap, and u can also get replacement screens too.

^Yea at first I didn't want to order it online since it'd take possibly 2 weeks to ship. I found a canadian seller selling it for $10 including shipping.

I'll probably hold off on getting the screen for a while, don't have that much money to spend :(

Just got a 9700; whats the revscene BBM group?

Hm...blacked out or white housing?

no one that i've seen has white housing..
so you'd be different? depends on what you're going for.

Aiming for something like that, dunno though. :S

The white 9700 just came out for Rogers.

upgrading to 5.0.656 as we speak!
