First and foremost, it seems I've dedicated a substantial time and portion of this blog to Blackberry... smh! Let's see a few more of tricks that can be pulled on this smartphone.
1) Rapidly Switch Back and Forth Between BlackBerry Applications
A quicker and more efficient way to go from an active program to another program is to use a shortcut. While inside an application, hold down the ALT key--which is directly below the letter A key--and then click the Back button--the button with an arrow in reverse direction and to the right of your trackpad. While holding down ALT, you can then scroll left or right between apps, and you need only release the ALT key to select the highlighted program.
You need to be working in a specific application for that application to be available via the shortcut. In other words, the program needs to have been opened recently or still running.
2) View Event Log Details, Free Up Memory by Clearing the Event Log List
Your BlackBerry's Event Log displays your system's recently run events and processes. If you're experiencing a problem with your BlackBerry or having an issue with a specific application or service, information from the Event Log can be helpful for troubleshooting. And it can be a good BlackBerry hygiene to clear out the log, to keep your device running smoothly.
To access your Event Log, go to your Home Screen, hold down the ALT key and then type "LGLG." The Event Log will then appear, and you can click a specific event for more information.
You can also free up some valuable device memory to help your device run faster by clearing your Event Log. To delete your list of events, hit the BlackBerry MENU key while any event is highlighted and then click "Clear Log." A dialogue box will then pop up asking if you want to delete the log. Once you confirm the deletion, your log will be cleared.
3) Reboot Your BlackBerry Without Removing the Battery
BlackBerry users should know that it's occasionally necessary to reboot your device after installing a new application; to solve performance problems, refresh your smartphone's memory or fix other minor issues. One way to do so is to remove your battery and place it in again (a hard reset).
The quickest and easiest way to reboot is via another BlackBerry keyboard shortcut. To reboot, simply hit ALT, RIGHT SHIFT (button next to the "sym" button) and DELETE.
After pressing these three keys together, your device powers down, your LED indicator turns red for a few seconds and the reboot process commences.
4) Change Your Signal Strength Display from Bars to Numbers
Now this is a cool trick we don't usually come by anywhere: Signal strength is, by default, displayed as bars on the blackberry smartphone; but if you want more precision than bars can offer, you can change to the numeric signal strength display mode.
The numeric mode shows wireless signal strength in decibels per milliwatt (dBm), a ratio measured power in decibels (dB), referenced to one milliwatt (mW).
To switch from bars to numbers, navigate to your BlackBerry home screen, hold the ALT key and enter in "NMLL." The signal display will then automatically display a dBm value. In general, a reading from -45 to -85 is considered very strong. Any reading that's lower than -85--for instance, -100--is weaker. To switch back to bar mode from numeric, just hit ALT again and retype "NMLL."
Enjoy playing around with your smartphones... Cheers!
Best Regards.
