LucBourdon28 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Sorry to ask again, but it still wont let me join the group after I had accepted the invite. Could you send another invite? 21F4DC40 Again sorry for inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runlsd Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Went back to Blackberry for the 3rd time. Had the Bold 9700. Just got the 9780. Didn't expect the changes to be significant. But the tweaks they made in OS6 are giving me a new BB experience. If there's still the Canucks group, would love an invite: 236C48B8 Thanks!

canucks_dynasty Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I don't love my Torch anymore. After getting an Ipod Touch...the Torch seems woefully inadequate when surfing the web. The Ipod was blazing fast when connected to WiFi at Starbucks compared to my BB Torch data plan (not on WiFi). The touchscreen is way better/smoother on the Ipod but I wish it had a trackpad like the Torch. Better overall web surfing experience with the Ipod. The camera on the Ipod is way better than the Torch too. Music is about the same. However, BBM rocks. It's really useful since most of my friends have BBs. Is it too much to ask for the best of both worlds?? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuongoG1 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Now that newer Telus phones use SIM cards, will I be able to unlock a Rogers Blackberry 9700 with regular unlock procedure and get it to work on Telus with one of their SIM cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoaltenderInterference Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have a few questions about Blackberry and MSN Messenger. If I stayed online, would that count against my data, or would it only be when I send/receive messages? And how much data would it take up approximately?

StealthCanuck. Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Have a 9700 Bold, and i'm hating the battery life. Even if my phone is fully charged in the morning and with minimal use, it will still die before the day is over I haven't even had it for a year yet... BTW does anyone know how to get the flashplayer for youtube? For some reason it doesn't let me download it off my phone. I dunno if it's because I don't have data. I only use Wifi since I get wifi access at home, school, and at work, which are the places you'll usually find me lol. So I didn't think I need to pay the extra bucks for it.

Yes. You can do this with any GSM phone just as long as they use the same frequency (HSPA/UMTS - Rogers, Telus, Bell, AT&T, etc. and AWS - Wind, Mobilicity, T-Mobile) I have a few questions about Blackberry and MSN Messenger. If I stayed online, would that count against my data, or would it only be when I send/receive messages? And how much data would it take up approximately? Yes. The data is takes up isn't significant.

Have you checked any apps running in the background? If you have FB, Twitter or apps that have auto updates, those can kill your battery life if you have the intervals set often. If you guys have data plan, I strongly suggest checking out Blackberry Protect. You can locate your device (I got an accuracy of up to 3ft), remotely lock your device, display a message, etc. Pretty neat app and it's free! Oh and I'm gonna make a new CDC Group. The current one is a bit too messy and there are no admins - I was the only admin but the BB I made the group with took a crap lol Edit: New Barcode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know if the people at the Telus store can help you with a better contract, or do you have to call Customer Retentions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 9700 bold and i think the battery life is fine... I charge it roughly every 2-3 days. And i browse the internet quite a bit.. how do you use your bb ?

canucks_dynasty Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Agree with Blackberry Protect. It's pretty awesome app. Yep. Also downloaded Blackberry Travel (just because it's free and from BB). With moderate browsing and some power saving tips (but I have GPS on now cuz if it's off BB Protect is useless for tracking the device)...I'm getting 2 days before having to recharge. I heard a rumor that BB/Apple/Android are making a cross-platform messenging (like BBM) service. If that's true...I might get the next-gen iPhone.

canucks_dynasty Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Downloaded Apps (free)... Blackberry Protect Blackberry Travel Blackberry Traffic Blackberry Appworld Google Maps Google Mobile App Cineplex Mobile Evernote Patternlock Lite DailyHoroscope XE Currency Unit Converter Lite QR Code Scanner Pro Poynt Weathereye NHL Gamecenter Runtastic The River Test Angry Farm - Free Trial Look and Listen - memory game Facebook Youtube MySpace Twitter I had the Hangman (game) app but I uninstalled cuz I hated getting a notification every day for their daily pack. Didn't get the Canucks app cuz it's not available for Torch. Only the Canucks Live app is available for the Torch but it costs $10 (maybe I'll get it next season).

viper.claw Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm quite enjoying the app: wi-fi manager. saves me a bit of battery life. what it does is turn off your wi-fi whenever you leave a saved location such as your home or school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lateralus Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm having an issue with my Torch. Under 'All' when I try to add a program/app to 'Favorites' the secondary menu that allows you to do this doesn't come up. See example below, I can't get this menu to pop up. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
