    If Blackberry were to release a new Classic for this year in 2024, I honest to God would buy em. It doesn't even have to be different from this old model. Just updated hardware and software, and I'm all good for it.

    I use the BB Classic Q20 with BB OS 10 - only with my home and work wi-fi. Only good for gmail, gmail contacts, and google calendar. Hotmail or Outlook will not work. Yahoo Email will not work. I use BB's built in browser and the two websites I peruse without much difficulty is Netscape (like the good old days) and AOL (like the good old days). I use the calendar, calculator, clock, alarm, timer, the Remember task/note app and the camera. I use the Remember task/note app a lot - because you can use the Voice Note feature as well as save pictures in the tasks or notes - very handy for what I do. Graphics intensive websites are too slow to even bother. I have a few simple reference websites for my line of work saved on the Home Screen for quick access. Lastly, I have a 32 GB SD card that I store .pdf files on. Haven't quite figured out how to move music onto the device; but I don't really use any phone for that purpose.

    I still have a blackberry classic. It’s still takes a charge but it takes a considerable effort for the charge. I think it’s a bad connection at the connector. I have important notes and pictures in it that I would like to extract. How can retrieve those notes and pics to another device. ? Sometimes I take pictures of the screen with my current phone but that is cumbersome.

    • @JackyYBT
      @JackyYBT  27 днів тому

      To retrieve your important notes and pictures from your BlackBerry Classic without the hassle of taking pictures of the screen, you can try the following methods:
      1. Use BlackBerry Link
      BlackBerry Link is the official software for syncing data between your BlackBerry Classic and your computer. Here's how to use it:
      - Download BlackBerry Link on your computer (available for Windows and Mac).
      - Connect your BlackBerry Classic to your computer via a USB cable (ensure the cable works well since you suspect a bad connection).
      - Open BlackBerry Link and follow the prompts to back up your device data, including notes and pictures.
      - Once backed up, you can access the files on your computer.
      2. Use a MicroSD Card
      If your BlackBerry Classic has a MicroSD card:
      - Move pictures and notes (if the app allows exporting or copying to storage) to the MicroSD card.
      - Remove the card and insert it into your new device or computer using an adapter.
      - Transfer the files from the card to your new device.
      3. Enable Bluetooth Transfer
      You can transfer your files wirelessly via Bluetooth if both your BlackBerry Classic and your new device have Bluetooth:
      - Turn on Bluetooth on both devices.
      - Pair them by going to Settings > Network and Connections > Bluetooth.
      - Select the pictures and notes, then choose the option to "Share" via Bluetooth.
      - Accept the transfer on the receiving device.
      4. Cloud Backup (If Available)
      If your BlackBerry Classic has a cloud service set up (such as Dropbox or Box):
      - Open the cloud app on your BlackBerry Classic and upload your pictures and notes to the cloud.
      - Access the cloud storage from your new device to download the files.
      5. USB File Transfer Mode
      If the BlackBerry still charges, you might be able to transfer files directly:
      - Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
      - On the phone, go to "File Transfer" mode if prompted.
      - Access your device's internal storage from the computer and copy your notes and pictures to your computer.
      If none of these options work due to the charging issue, you may consider taking the phone to a professional repair shop to fix the connection long enough to retrieve the data properly.

    My blackberry keeps blocking everything and every app i have and don't have

    • @JackyYBT
      @JackyYBT  3 місяці тому +1

      If your BlackBerry Classic is blocking everything and every app, it might be due to software issues or settings that need adjustment. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
      1. Restart Your Device:
      - Sometimes a simple restart can resolve software glitches. Hold down the power button until the device powers off, then turn it back on.
      2. Check Parental Controls:
      - Ensure that Parental Controls or any other restrictive settings are not enabled.
      - Go to *Settings > Security and Privacy > Parental Controls* and disable any restrictions if they are turned on.
      3. Clear Cache and Data:
      - Clearing the cache and data of individual apps can help resolve blocking issues.
      - Go to *Settings > App Manager* and select each app to clear its cache and data.
      4. Update Software:
      - Ensure that your BlackBerry OS is up to date. Updates often fix bugs and improve performance.
      - Go to *Settings > Software Updates* and check for any available updates.
      5. Reset App Permissions:
      - Sometimes app permissions can cause issues. Reset them to ensure they are properly configured.
      - Go to *Settings > Security and Privacy > Application Permissions* and review the permissions for each app.
      6. Reinstall Apps:
      - Uninstall and then reinstall any apps that are causing issues.
      - Go to *Settings > App Manager*, select the app, and choose to uninstall. Then, reinstall the app from BlackBerry World or a trusted source.
      7. Perform a Hard Reset:
      - A hard reset can resolve more persistent issues.
      - Press and hold the power button and the volume up button simultaneously until the device restarts.
      8. Factory Reset:
      - If none of the above steps work, consider performing a factory reset. This will erase all data on your device, so make sure to back up important information first.
      - Go to *Settings > Security and Privacy > Security Wipe*, enter "blackberry" to confirm, and then proceed with the wipe.
      9. Check for Malware:
      - Although rare, malware can cause such issues. Install a reputable mobile security app and scan your device.
      10. Contact Support:
      - If the problem persists, contact BlackBerry support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
      By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the blocking issues on your BlackBerry Classic.

    • @JackyYBT
      @JackyYBT  3 місяці тому +2

      Getting a "Server Error" on a BlackBerry Q20 when trying to use the Google Play Store can be frustrating. Here are some steps to help debug and potentially resolve the issue:
      1. **Check Internet Connection**:
      - Ensure that your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data network.
      2. **Clear Cache and Data for Google Play Store**:
      - Go to **Settings** > **Apps** > **All** > **Google Play Store**.
      - Tap on **Clear Cache** and **Clear Data**.
      - Do the same for **Google Play Services**.
      3. **Update Google Play Services**:
      - Ensure that Google Play Services is up to date. Sometimes outdated services can cause errors.
      4. **Reboot Your Device**:
      - Sometimes a simple restart can resolve the issue.
      5. **Re-add Google Account**:
      - Go to **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Google** and remove your Google account.
      - Reboot your device and then add your Google account again.
      6. **Check Date and Time Settings**:
      - Ensure your device has the correct date and time settings. Set it to automatic if possible.
      7. **Check for System Updates**:
      - Ensure your BlackBerry Q20 has the latest software updates installed.
      8. **Use an Alternative Method to Install Play Store**:
      - Sometimes the installation process for Google Play Store on BlackBerry devices can be problematic. Consider using alternative methods or guides that are known to work for your device.
      9. **Factory Reset (Last Resort)**:
      - If all else fails, consider performing a factory reset. Ensure to backup your data before doing this.
      ### Detailed Steps for Re-adding Google Account:
      1. **Remove Google Account**:
      - Go to **Settings**.
      - Navigate to **Accounts**.
      - Select **Google** and tap on your Google account.
      - Tap on the three dots in the top right corner and select **Remove account**.
      2. **Reboot Device**:
      - Turn off your device and turn it back on.
      3. **Add Google Account**:
      - Go to **Settings**.
      - Navigate to **Accounts**.
      - Tap on **Add account** and select **Google**.
      - Follow the prompts to re-enter your Google account credentials.
      ### If Problem Persists:
      If after following these steps you still encounter the "Server Error", consider reinstalling the Google Play Store and related services using an alternative method. Here's a general approach:
      1. **Download APK Files**:
      - Download the following APK files from a trusted source:
      - Google Play Store
      - Google Play Services
      - Google Account Manager
      - Google Services Framework
      2. **Install APK Files**:
      - Install the APK files in the following order:
      1. Google Account Manager
      2. Google Services Framework
      3. Google Play Services
      4. Google Play Store
      3. **Reboot Device**:
      - Restart your device after installing all the APK files.
      These steps should help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the "Server Error" on your BlackBerry Q20. If you still encounter issues, it may be helpful to seek assistance from a community forum specific to BlackBerry devices or contact BlackBerry support.

    Does it support phone calls and texts messages in India? Plz reply

    • @JackyYBT
      @JackyYBT  3 місяці тому

      Yes, the BlackBerry Classic does support phone calls and text messages in India, provided the following conditions are met:
      1. **Network Compatibility**: The BlackBerry Classic must be compatible with the network frequencies used by Indian telecom providers. Most Indian carriers use GSM (2G), UMTS (3G), and LTE (4G) frequencies, which the BlackBerry Classic typically supports. However, it's important to check the specific model and its supported frequencies to ensure compatibility.
      2. **Active SIM Card**: You need an active SIM card from an Indian telecom provider. Insert the SIM card into your BlackBerry Classic, and it should connect to the network, allowing you to make calls and send texts.
      3. **Unlocked Device**: If your BlackBerry Classic is carrier-locked to a network from another country, you will need to get it unlocked to use it with an Indian SIM card.
      4. **Network Settings**: Ensure that the network settings on your BlackBerry Classic are correctly configured for the Indian carrier. This might include setting the correct APN (Access Point Name) settings for data services.
      If you encounter any issues, you can contact your Indian telecom provider for assistance with settings or compatibility.

    • @JackyYBT
      @JackyYBT  5 місяців тому +1

      If your friend forgot the BlackBerry account password and gave you the device, you might need to perform a factory reset to erase all the data and start fresh. Here's a general guide on how to do it:
      1. Power off the BlackBerry Classic.
      2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
      3. While holding the Volume keys, press and hold the Power button.
      4. Continue holding all three buttons until the BlackBerry logo appears on the screen, then release the buttons.
      5. Use the Volume keys to scroll to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and press the Power button to confirm.
      6. Scroll to "Yes" and press the Power button to confirm.
      7. Once the reset is complete, select "Reboot System Now" and press the Power button to restart the device.
      Keep in mind that performing a factory reset will erase all data on the device, so make sure to back up any important information beforehand. Additionally, this process may vary slightly depending on the specific model and software version of the BlackBerry Classic.

    • @JackyYBT
      @JackyYBT  4 місяці тому +1

      The error DFEHRH-01 on the Play Store for a BlackBerry Classic running OS 10.3.2 indicates issues related to compatibility or connectivity. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this error:
      1. Update BlackBerry OS: Make sure your BlackBerry OS is up to date. Go to *Settings > Software Updates* and check for updates.
      2. Reinstall Play Store:
      - Uninstall the existing Play Store app.
      - Download the latest version of the Play Store APK from a trusted source like APKMirror.
      - Reinstall the Play Store APK.
      3. Install Google Play Services: The Play Store requires Google Play Services to function correctly. Ensure that you have Google Play Services installed on your device:
      - Download the latest version of Google Play Services APK from a trusted source.
      - Install the APK on your device.
      4. Check Device Settings:
      - Ensure your device date and time settings are correct. Incorrect settings can cause issues with connecting to the Play Store.
      - Go to *Settings > Date and Time* and set it to automatic.
      5. Clear Cache and Data:
      - Go to *Settings > App Manager > Google Play Store*.
      - Clear the cache and data for the Play Store app.
      - Restart your device and try opening the Play Store again.
      6. Network Connection:
      - Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
      - Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network or use mobile data to see if the issue persists.
      7. **Use Alternative App Stores**: If the Play Store continues to give errors, consider using alternative app stores like Uptodown or APKPure for app downloads.
      If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be due to the limited compatibility of newer Play Store versions with the BlackBerry 10 OS. In such cases, sticking to alternative app sources might be the best solution.
