About A-GPS support

About A-GPS support

Depending on your service provider, your handheld might be enabled with Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS) support.

If your handheld is enabled with A-GPS support, when you make an emergency call from your handheld, an emergency operator can estimate your approximate location (subject to A-GPS limitations).

Warning:

In an emergency, always provide detailed information about your location to the emergency operator. Because of certain limitations in A-GPS technology and emergency infrastructure, the emergency operator might not be able to estimate your location using only A-GPS information.

Acquire the GPS position of your handheld

Acquire the GPS position of your handheld

Your BlackBerry Global Positioning System (GPS) location is determined using information from GPS satellites, and is expressed as longitude and latitude. To acquire your BlackBerry satellite position, in the handheld options, click Location Based Services. Click the trackwheel and click Refresh GPS.

Note:

If you are unable to acquire your BlackBerry satellite position by clicking Refresh GPS, try again when you are out of doors and your handheld is exposed to a wide area of open sky.

Change the privacy setting for location-based services

The privacy setting for location based services controls whether applications on your handheld can use the GPS position of your handheld. For example, some applications might use the GPS position of your handheld to give you driving directions using your approximate location.

To set the privacy level for location-based services on your handheld, in the handheld options, click Location Based Services. Perform one of the following actions:

  • To be prompted for permission to use the GPS position of your handheld by location-based service applications on your handheld, set the Privacy Setting field to By Permission. Click the trackwheel. Click Save.
  • To block location-based service applications from using the GPS position of your handheld, set the Privacy Setting field to Restricted. Click the trackwheel. Click Save.
  • To always allow location-based service applications to use the GPS position of your handheld, set the Privacy Setting field to Unrestricted. Click the trackwheel. Click Save.

Note:

If you set the privacy level for location-based services on your handheld to By Permission or Restricted, and you make an emergency call from your handheld, an emergency operator can still estimate your approximate location (subject to A-GPS limitations).

Can I verify that an email or PIN message has reached its recipient?

Yes. To receive email message confirmation, if your handheld is integrated with an email account using a BlackBerry Enterprise ServerTM, type before the subject of your message.

For PIN messages, when the message has been delivered to a handheld, a D appears beside the check mark in the messages list.

Can I stop an email message from being sent?

Yes, if the handheld radio is turned off or you are in an area of insufficient wireless coverage. If a clock icon appears beside the message, delete the message to stop it from being sent.

If the radio is turned on and you are in an area of sufficient wireless coverage, any pending messages are sent immediately, so you cannot stop the message from being sent.

Why are some messages already on my handheld?

When you first receive your handheld and every time that you update the software, several welcome messages appear. These messages provide information and tips for using the handheld.

If your handheld is integrated with an email account using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ version 4.0, a number of your recent email messages might also appear on your handheld when you turn on your handheld radio for the first time. For more information, contact your system administrator.

To view the rest of the message, click More All.

Can I file messages?

Yes. If you have enabled wireless email reconciliation for your handheld, any messages that you file on your handheld are also filed in your mailbox.

If your handheld is not enabled for wireless email reconciliation, your handheld must be integrated with an email account using the BlackBerry Desktop Redirector or BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ to file messages. You must perform an initial email reconciliation with the BlackBerry Desktop Software so that the folders in your mailbox appear on your handheld. For more information on configuring manual email reconciliation, refer to the BlackBerry Desktop Software Online Help.

Why can't I see a new message in the messages list even though I received notification?

If email messages are sent to your handheld from specific mailbox folders and, in the general messages options, you set the Hide Filed Messages option to Yes, a new message sent to your handheld is filed automatically, and it might not appear in the messages list. To view all of your messages, set the Hide Filed Messages field to No.

Why is there a different icon beside some items in the messages list?

Different icons are used in the messages list to indicate various items, such as message status, saved web pages, call logs, and email messages with attachments.

When you make or receive a call, the handheld creates a call log containing information about the call. To disable call logs, in the phone options, click Call Logging. Set the Show Logs in Message List field to No.

If you have enabled wireless email reconciliation, messages that you delete in your mailbox are also deleted on your handheld. Messages that you delete on your handheld are also deleted in your mailbox.

If you deleted multiple messages using Delete Prior, the messages are only deleted from your handheld.

How do I change how long messages remain in the messages list?

To change the number of days your handheld will keep messages on the messages list, in the message options, click General Options. Set the Keep Messages field.

Messages sent to your handheld that are older than the number of days that you specify in the Keep Messages field are removed from your handheld. The messages can be restored, however, if you set the Keep Messages field to a longer period of time. When you increase the amount of time in this field, any messages sent to your handheld during that period of time appear in the messages list.

How do I restrict the types of email messages that are sent to my handheld?

You can create email filters to send only specific email messages to your handheld. For more information, see:

"Create an email filter".

To stop messages that do not meet any filter criteria from being sent to your handheld, in the message options, click Email Filters. Set the If no filters apply, send email to handheld field to No.

How do I create a generic filter?

To create a generic filter, use wildcards when specifying the contacts to which the filter applies. In the From field, specify part of the sender's address and use an asterisk (*) in place of the remaining part.

Why are some messages sent to my handheld even though I have created a filter?

A filter must be enabled before it applies to your messages. In the email filters messages options, verify that the check boxes beside all of the filters that you want to apply to your messages are enabled. Verify that the filters are in the correct order so they can be applied to your messages properly.

Why can't I specify some folders from which email messages are redirected?

On the Folder Redirection screen, if the check boxes beside the folder names appear with broken borders, those folders are not enabled for redirection. If your handheld is integrated with an email account using the BlackBerry Enterprise ServerTM version 4.0, the folders are enabled automatically after a short period of time. To manually enable all folders for redirection, on the Email Reconciliation screen, set the Wireless Reconcile field to Off. Save your changes. Open the Email Reconciliation screen again and set the Wireless Reconcile field to On. Save your changes.

How do I make changes to the folders on my handheld?

You cannot add, edit, or delete folders from your handheld. To add, edit, or delete the folder, change it in your mailbox and reconcile your email with your handheld.

If your handheld is enabled for wireless email reconciliation, changes that you make to the folders in your mailbox are synchronized with your handheld over the wireless network.

If your handheld is not enabled for wireless email reconciliation, reconcile your email manually using the BlackBerry Desktop Software. For more information, refer to the BlackBerry Desktop Software Intellisync Online Help.

How do I stop email messages from being sent to my handheld?
