BEBERAPA TIPS DAN TRIK BLACKBERRY

1. Status blackberry locked or unlocked
- Buka menu : Options + Advanced Options + Sim Card + ketik “MEPD”
- Nanti akan muncul baris2 baru
- BB yang statusnya unlocked, akan berstatus “Disabled” semuanya

2. Cek blackberry kena IT policy atau tidak (new or second)
- Buka menu : Options + Status + ketik “BUYR”
- Perhatikan baris “Data Usage” dan “Voice Usage”
- Kalau kena IT Policy, tulisannya akan ada “IT Policy”
- Kalau tidak kena IT Policy, tulisannya akan menunjukkan jumlah pemakaian si BB
- Kalau blackberry yang baru harusnya sih 0 semua, tp ternyata angka ini bisa direset

3. Untuk mengetahui informasi blackberry meliputi : pin, imei, vendorID, freeMem, versi OS etc
Masuk kemenu utama, tekan tombol “ALT” + “NUM / Aa / Cap” + “H” secara bersamaan
Atau bisa dari menu utama + Options + Status

4. Blackberry hang dan ingin melakukan restart
Pencet tombol “ALT” + “NUM / Aa / Cap yang posisi tombolnya sebelah Kanan” + “DEL” secara bersamaan

5. Memory blackberry mulai menipis
- Bisa restart BB pake cara diatas
- Tapi kalau mau lebih fresh lagi, cabut baterai blackberry selama 1 menitan, kemudian pasang dan aktifkan lagi

6. Setting type ringtone/alert untuk masing-masing email / sms / YM / facebook dll
- Pilih menu Profiles dari menu utama, scroll ke bawah, paling bawah sampai ketemu “Advanced…” diklik, pilih Profile yang

akan diedit
- Contoh : Messages [Yahoo]
- Perhatikan bagian atas “Out of Holster” mau dibikin apa ? None / Vibrate / Tone / Vibrate + Tone
Maksudnya, kalau blackberry sedang tidak disimpan di Holster/Pouch, nantinya mau dibuat alert buat si Yahoo.
- Kemudian pilih jenis ringtonenya
- Nah jangan lupa diatur bagian volume, jangan sampai sesudah memilih tone, tapi volumenya masih mute,
- Lalu bisa atur bagian “In Holster”, maksudnya selama di Pouch/Holster, alertnya maunya yang bagaimana
Biasanya sih kalau “Out Of Holster” hanya bunyi tanpa getar dan volume low / medium, nah bagian “In Holsternya” dibuat getar + Volume High
Ingat Pengaturan ini per setiap Email Account ya!

7. Memisahkan sms dengan email
- Buka menu messages
- Tekan tombol blackberry/option, pilih options + general options
- Perhatikan bagian “SMS and Email Inboxes”, pilih Separate

8. Menampilkan inbox lebih menarik
- Buka menu “Messages”
- Tekan tombol blackberry/option, pilih options - general options
- Display order “Name, Subject”
- Display message header on “2 lines”
- Separators “Stripes”
- Keep Messages “15 days” (agar lebih irit memory)

9. Shortcut bernavigasi di email
- “N” untuk next email (berurutan)
- “P” untuk previous email (berurutan)
- “U” untuk next unread email (akan mencari kalau sudah pad ujung akhir dan msh ada sisa)

10. Shortcut bernavigasi di content Email or Browser
- “T” untuk ke paling atas (top)
- “B” untuk ke paling bawah (bottom)
- [space] untuk scroll ke bawah (page down)
- [shift/num/Aa posisi sebelah kiri] + [space] untuk scroll ke atas (page up)
- Menampilkan menu pilihan di browser, tekan tombol [alt]
- Memilih menu terkadang [space], [enter] atau tekan scroll wheel / ball nya

11. Apabila ada notifikasi email / message yang belum dibaca, padahal dicari-cari sudah tidak ada atau dihapus

Coba buka pada folder Saved Messages. Kalau misalnya masih tidak ditemukan juga, coba restart (tips no 4)

12. Umur baterai blackberry tergantung kepada :
- Kekuatan sinyal operator, makin bagus dan stabil akan semakin irit
- Traffic data yg lewat, makin banyak makin cepat low-bat
- Setting alert di handphone, semakin minim, semakin irit, antara lain:
* Vibrate, membuat semakin boros baterai
* Volume, semakin kecil volumenya semakin irit
* Led indikator, tidak terlalu “ngefek” tapi kalau dioff-kan bisa lebih irit
- Setting brightness tampilan, semakin terang semakin boros
- Aktivitas kita dalam mengoperasikan si handphone, semakin sering kita ngetik dan mengoperasikannya, baterai akan makin cepat low-bat. Akan lebih awet umurnya, jika handpone kita biarkan standby saja selama berjam-jam..

Dari semua faktor tadi, yang paling berpengaruh adalah yang terakhir . Apabila blackberry dibiarkan saja, hanya sesekali dipakai, akan irit baterai
Faktor berikutnya adalah setting alert di blackberry, saran:
- Kalau siang hari, gunakan alert tone saja dengan volume medium tanpa vibrate
- Kalau di dalam holster, gunakan alert vibrate saja tanpa volume
- Kalau malam hari / tidur, gunakan profile silent (tanpa tone dan tanpa vibrate).

13. Memanfaatkan autoText
AutoText terkadang membantu, kadang juga tidak. Disarankan hapus beberapa atau semua autotext yang ada di blackberry dan buat autotext sendiri …

14. Beberapa icon email tidak muncul
Kemungkinan hal ini disebabkan BlackBerry baru saja di wipe handheld atau install ulang atau diupgrade.
Cara mengembalikannya silahkan login ke web http://operator.blackberry.com kemudian pilih “Service Books”, lalu klik tombol “Send Service Books”
Tunggu beberapa saat, nanti icon emailnya akan kembali

15. Problem koneksi
Perhatikan tulisan GPRS / EDGE / GSM pada layar Blackberry yang biasa nya sebelahan dengan indikator sinyal, huruf besar kecil ada artinya :

- GSM: artinya blackberry baru bisa digunakan sebagai handphone biasa saja, call dan sms.
- gprs / edge (huruf kecil): artinya blackberry sudah mendapatkan sinyal untuk data (gprs/edge) tetapi belum dapat digunakan sebagai koneksi data blackBerry.
- GPRS / EDGE (huruf besar): artinya blackberry sudah dapat digunakan sebagai mana mustinya …

16. Mengatur agar bisa langsung call tanpa tekan +62 dulu (bisa 021 xxx atau 08 xxxx)
Pencet tombol hijau untuk dial, lalu tekan tombol option BB, pilih options, pilih smart dialing , lalu ke country code dan pilih “+62″

17. Tidak bisa browsing menggunakan layanan mobile (red. blackberry internet service)

Buka menu utama + option + advanced option + browser + default browser configuration pilih “internet browser”

18. Tidak bisa browsing menggunakan layanan wi-fi
Buka menu utama + option + advanced option + browser + default browser configuration pilih “hotspot browser / wi-fi browser”

Focus on Blackberry Application

First you will need to download the BlackBerry OS software file to your computer. You can search from Google with keyword “Blackberry OS [Carrier name]”. Or you may refer to my post "Official BlackBerry OS Website".

Be sure you selected the right blackberry model then download the latest OS file to desktop. There are unofficial versions (some call it leak version) of blackberry OS floating around the internet, do it at your own risk if you decided to use those unofficial OS.

Install Blackberry OS software into default location (Basically just click next until end during installation) If you’re using software version from a different service provider other than your own, after the installation wizard is done you will need go to delete the Vendor.xml file. It can be found following this path:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader


After the deletion of the Vendor.xml file (if needed), plug in your device to the computer via USB cable and then double click on the Loader.exe file in the same folder

Click next for the first screen, the Wizard should automatically detect the port and should display USB and your PIN number. Like screenshot below


Next the Application Loader Wizard will read your devices system configuration. System will allow you to choose any applications that you would like to install into Blackberry handheld. Here you need to make sure applications such as BlackBerry Attachment Service, BlackBerry Messenger, and 3rd Party Application boxes are ticked, and any other applications you want installed to the device and select ‘Next’.


Completing the Application Loader Wizard screen will come up next and and show you exactly what Applications are being installed. Make sure everything you want installed is selected and select ‘Finish’.

It is depending on Blackberry device and can take up between 20-45 minutes for OS installation. PLEASE DO NOT UNPLUG CABLE FROM THE DEVICE. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE BRICKED AND MAKE YOUR DEVICE IN DEEP TROUBLE. Be patient and wait until the Application Loader Wizard is states Loading Operation is Complete.

At this point, you can unplug your device and your device is restarting. Usually it will take long time for the first restart (approximately 12min). Enjoy the new Operating System.
