Using your BlackBerry ID to switch devices
Using your BlackBerry ID on a new device
When you switch to a new BlackBerry device, during setup, you will be prompted to enter your BlackBerry ID username
and password. It's important to use the same BlackBerry ID that you used on your previous device, since many of your apps
and settings are associated with your BlackBerry ID.
For instance, when you use your existing BlackBerry ID on your new device, you can reinstall apps that you downloaded on
your previous device from the BlackBerry World storefront, if a version of that app exists for your new device.
Find your BlackBerry ID on your old device
If you have previously created a BlackBerry ID and are switching to a new BlackBerry device, it's important to sign in using
your existing BlackBerry ID, as many of your apps and settings are associated with it.
1.
On the home screen of your old device, click Options.
2.
Depending on your device, do one of the following:
•
Click Third Party Applications > BlackBerry ID.
•
Click Device > BlackBerry ID.

Why do I need to re-enter my BlackBerry ID password?
After a certain amount of time, if you aren't actively using the app or service that supports BlackBerry ID, you might be
prompted to re-enter your password. For example, you might be prompted to re-enter your BlackBerry ID password before
you download apps from the BlackBerry World storefront.
You might also be required to re-enter your BlackBerry ID if you change any of your BlackBerry ID information, delete all of
the data on your BlackBerry device, or update the software on your device.
What is the difference between my BlackBerry ID
username and screen name?
Your BlackBerry ID username is the email address that you use when you log in using your BlackBerry ID. The BlackBerry
ID screen name is the name that appears when you submit app reviews in the BlackBerry World storefront.
How do I reset my lost or forgotten BlackBerry ID
password?
You can have the instructions about resetting your BlackBerry ID password sent to the email address that you use as your
BlackBerry ID username. For security reasons, your BlackBerry ID password can't be reset for you.

I can’t put a call on hold to answer an incoming call
While on a call, if you answer an incoming call from a different app, your first call might be disconnected instead of being
put on hold. For example, while on a phone call, if you answer an incoming BBM Voice call, your current phone call ends.
A message appears on your device to notify you that answering another call will end your current call.
Notifications and ring tones
You can personalize your BlackBerry device by customizing your notifications and ring tones. You can also turn off all
notifications or set your notifications to vibrate. The Instant Previews and Lock Screen Notifications features allow you to
stay up-to-date and manage your inbox without having to leave the app that you're in when you receive your messages.
About notifications and ring tones
The global notification settings on your BlackBerry device work like a master switch that either turns on or turns off the
customized notifications that are currently set for apps or contacts. Customized contact notifications override customized
app notifications. For example, if sound is turned off for the Phone app but is turned on in a customized notification for a
contact, the phone still rings when the contact calls you.
If you want to customize how you receive priority messages in your BlackBerry Priority Hub, you can create a rule so that
messages sent from specific accounts, with a specific subject, or with other criteria are sent to your BlackBerry Priority
Hub. You can also turn on a Level 1 alert for specific messages so that you receive a custom notification for these
messages.
Note: Level 1 alerts override existing notification settings.
Change your notifications or ring tones
In the Notifications settings, you can change the settings for your sounds, notifications, and ring tones. You can also set the
volume level of the notifications, number of vibrations, and more.

Voicemail
Depending on your service provider, there are two different types of voicemail available on your BlackBerry device:
standard voicemail and a visual voicemail service.
With standard voicemail, you can set up your voicemail access number and password, so you can quickly call in to your
voicemail service from the Calls screen in the Phone app.
If you subscribe to a visual voicemail service, you can view a list of your voicemail messages, play your voicemail messages,
and change various voicemail settings from your BlackBerry device, without having to call in to your voicemail service.
Depending on the features your service provider supports, your voicemail messages can be automatically downloaded to
your device and you can pause, fast-forward, or rewind the voicemail message as you listen to it. You can also forward a
voicemail message, send a reply to the person who left you a voicemail message, or delete a voicemail message from within
the Phone app or the BlackBerry Hub.
Your service provider might automatically delete messages after a certain period of time. If you don't want a message to get
automatically deleted, you can save it to your device.
Depending on your country or region, a visual voicemail service might not be available. You need to subscribe to a visual
voicemail service to access the features. Contact your service provider to subscribe.

Securing your email
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages if you use a work email account that supports S/MIME-protected messages or
IBM Notes email encryption on your BlackBerry device. Digitally signing or encrypting messages adds another level of
security to email messages that you send from your device.
Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. With S/
MIME-protected messages, when you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to
verify that the message is from you and that the message hasn't been changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you encrypt a message,
your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the
message.

it tries to use the mobile network for basic data functions such as using the Internet or downloading apps. You can
leave Wi-Fi on so that as soon as you're in range of a saved Wi-Fi network, your device connects to it automatically,
but remember that if you leave Wi-Fi on all the time your battery can drain faster.
Connections between devices
USB
You can use a USB cable to create a two-way connection between your BlackBerry device and your computer.
When you connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, your device appears on your computer as a
removable storage device. Depending on the functionality of your computer, you can usually use a USB connection
to drag files between your computer and your device.
You can use a micro USB on-the-go to USB 2.0 adapter to connect your device to a keyboard, mouse, gamepad
external storage drive, or other USB device. You can use the File Manager app to view files on your external storage
drive.
Wi-Fi Direct connection
When you connect your BlackBerry device to other devices using a Wi-Fi Direct connection, you can perform
actions such as sharing a document without needing an Internet connection. Because a Wi-Fi Direct connection
creates a network, you can connect to multiple devices at the same time.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast connection
Miracast allows you to show what's on the screen of your BlackBerry device on another device such as a TV or
computer monitor. In most cases you'll need to connect through a Miracast adapter that plugs into the device's
HDMI connector or you can connect using a wireless display adaptor.
Bluetooth technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to create a direct connection between your BlackBerry device and another
Bluetooth enabled device. Although you can transfer files over a Bluetooth connection, because of its ability to
stream content, Bluetooth connections are more commonly used for actions such as playing the music on your
BlackBerry device through a separate speaker or making calls on a headset that is using your BlackBerry device's
mobile network connection.
NFC

FIDENTIAL
STRICTLY CON
NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's used for quickly creating connections between your BlackBerry
device and other NFC-enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC you don't need to enter pairing information to make a
connection, so it's useful for on-the-go actions such as transferring contact cards with people you meet, or grabbing
information from a poster that contains an NFC tag. Depending on your wireless service provider and the
applications you have installed on your BlackBerry device, NFC can also be used to turn your device into a digital
wallet to allow you to do things such as make payments with your BlackBerry device.
Shared Internet connections
You can use your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network to allow other devices to access the Internet. This
functionality is particularly useful if you want to browse the Internet on your laptop or Wi-Fi only tablet but you don't have
access to a Wi-Fi network.
Internet tethering
You can use Internet tethering when you only have one device that you want to connect to the Internet through your
BlackBerry device's mobile network connection. You can connect the device to your BlackBerry device using a USB
cable or, if both devices are Bluetooth enabled, you can use Bluetooth technology instead.
Mobile Hotspot
You can use Mobile Hotspot mode to connect up to eight devices to your BlackBerry device. (The number of
devices that you can connect depends on your wireless service provider.) Connecting your devices using Mobile
Hotspot mode is like connecting to a Wi-Fi router; you can use the Wi-Fi connections on your devices, but you don't
need access to a Wi-Fi network.
VPN connections
You can connect your BlackBerry device to a virtual private network (VPN) over your mobile network or using a Wi-Fi
connection. While your device is connected to the VPN, you can send data to and receive data from the private network
across the public network.
Turn on airplane mode
In some places, such as on an airplane or in a hospital, you need to turn off all the connections on your BlackBerry device.
Airplane mode lets you quickly turn off your connections and, when you're done using airplane mode, turning off airplane
mode restores the connections that were previously turned on.

Mobile network
A mobile network connection allows your BlackBerry device to make calls and, if you have a data plan, use data services
such as Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an airplane, you might need to turn off your mobile
network connection, but usually you can just leave your mobile network connection turned on.
In most cases your device automatically connects to the appropriate wireless network when you travel outside of your
wireless service provider's coverage area. If you're not sure if your device is set up for roaming, or what roaming fees will
apply, it's a good idea to check with your wireless service provider before you travel.

device properly provisioned. If you're not sure if your device is set up for roaming, or what roaming fees will apply, it's a
good idea to check with your wireless service provider before you travel.
Switch wireless networks manually
Your BlackBerry device is designed to switch to an appropriate wireless network automatically when you travel, but you
might need to try switching networks manually if you're having trouble connecting or if the network signal is weak.

Check that you turned on the connection to the Wi-Fi network. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the
screen. Verify that the Wi-Fi icon appears blue.
Check that you're in a Wi-Fi coverage area. If you're connecting to a home network, see if other wireless devices are
able to connect. If other devices can't connect you might need to reset your router. If you're connecting to a work Wi-Fi
network or a hotspot, talk to your administrator or an employee at the hotspot.
Your connection might have timed out. Try connecting again.
If the Wi-Fi network that you want doesn't appear on the Wi-Fi settings screen, it might be hidden. If you know the
network name, try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.
Check that Mobile Hotspot mode is off. If Mobile Hotspot mode is on, your device can't connect to a Wi-Fi network.
If none of the suggestions above solve your connection issue, try these more advanced troubleshooting options:
•
•
•
Check that the time on your BlackBerry device is synchronized with the network time. If the times are different, it could
prevent your device from connecting (for example, if connecting to the network requires you to have a certificate on
your device, and the certificate has an expiration date).
If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, try switching to another Wi-Fi network.
If your email account is a work account, your device might prevent connections to certain wireless access points. For
more information, contact your administrator.
Still not connected? OK, try the following:

Check that the settings for the Wi-Fi network are correct. To find out which settings to use, for a home network, refer to
the information that came with your router; for a work Wi-Fi network, talk to your administrator; for a public hotspot,
refer to any information provided for the hotspot or talk to an employee at the hotspot who might have details about
how to connect.
If you use the Press WPS button on Router setting in Wi-Fi Protected Setup, check that the Wi-Fi router uses Wi-Fi
Protected Setup, and that it is set to send its profile. Verify that another device is not also attempting to connect at the
same time, and that not more than one Wi-Fi router within range is set to send its profile. For more information, see the
information that came with your router.
If you use PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, or EAP-TTLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, check that you installed the root
certificate for the certificate authority server that created the certificate for the authentication server. The root
certificate must be installed on your device before you can connect to the network. For more information, talk to your
administrator.
If you use EAP-TLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, check that you installed your authentication certificate on your
device. The authentication certificate must be installed on your device before you can connect to the network. For
more information, talk to your administrator.
If you need to contact a support representative, you can access diagnostic information by tapping The advanced icon

Keyboard Input Methods
An input method is a way to handle complex situations where typing goes beyond an alphabetical issue. In some cases,
input methods are used to get a phonetic approximation of a word based on the keyboard you are using. Your device can
then suggest a character or diacritic based on the sound you've chosen. In other cases, input methods provide gestures
and key combinations for languages. There are some keyboard input methods that are common to all supported
languages, such as word prediction and flick typing to select predictions or using the press-and-hold method to access
accented characters. All keyboard input methods also support using the sym key to access symbols.
Your BlackBerry device can be used in many different languages, regardless of the default language you select. However,
the differences between the languages you use may mean that you need specific tips and tricks to use your BlackBerry
Keyboard with a language that is different than the default keyboard layout. For example, if you are using a language that
has more characters in the alphabet than the the language than your keyboard supports, you need to know how to access
those additional characters.
Typing in Other Languages
You can set up your BlackBerry device to recognize three different input languages when you type. As you type, your device
makes predictions based on each of the languages. When you've got more than one typing language set up, you may need
to consider the following:
•
•
•
•
Some languages, such asThai and Arabic, have more characters in the alphabet than there are keys on the keyboard.
You need to use a keystroke combination to access the second or third character on a particular key. For information
about how to access these types of characters, see the help for typing in that language.
Different languages may have different keyboard layouts. For example, American English uses a QWERTY keyboard
layout, but French uses an AZERTY keyboard layout. You need to adapt to the changed locations of some keys.
Similar languages may have slightly different keyboard layouts. For example, many languages use a QWERTY keyboard
layout; however, Danish, Spanish, and Romanian include different characters on the basic keyboard that are not
included on other QWERTY keyboards.
Some supported languages, such as Hebrew, Farsi, and Arabic, read right-to-left. If you change to one of these
languages from a left-to-right language in the middle of a sentence, your device automatically places the characters
you type on the left side of the cursor. When you want to change back to the left-to-right language, you'll need to move
your cursor back to the right side of the text.

The Arabic language has more characters in the alphabet than there are keys on the keyboard. As a result, there are
more than one native character on one physical key. You might need to use the keyboard mapping guide to determine
how to access the second and third characters on each physical key.
The Farsi language has a few characters that are different from the basic Arabic alphabet. These characters are listed
on the keyboard mapping guide.

on a non-Chinese keyboard, you can use the phonetic sound of a character to get Chinese diacritics to appear as word

Typing in Latin-based languages
Many languages use the Latin alphabet; however, there are three keyboard layouts that use the Latin alphabet on your
BlackBerry device. If you have set up more than one input, it is important to know that the keyboard layout may change.
The QWERTY keyboard layout is used by many languages; it is not confined to a single geographic area. Certain languages
may have slight variations to the available keys or symbols, but the basic keyboard is the same. QWERTY keyboard layout is
used for American English, European English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Brazilian, Portuguese, Romanian,
Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, and Vietnamese input.
The QWERTZ keyboard layout is used for German, Czech, and Hungarian input.

displays additional accented variations of the letter A. In Romanian, if you tap and hold the letter S, the prediction menu
appears with ß amongst the options.Experiment with the keyboard to reveal the keys that contain alternate characters.

Contacts
When you add contacts to the Contacts app on your BlackBerry device, connecting with them is easy. The Contacts app is
integrated with the BlackBerry Hub, the BlackBerry Calendar, and other apps, so you can quickly add contacts to relevant
messages and events or share your pictures and videos.
About the Contacts app
If you added an email account or social networking account to your device, contacts from those accounts can appear in
your contact list. It's simple to find the people that you want to connect with because your device automatically merges
contacts who share first and last names, email addresses, or mobile phone numbers.

Compass at a glance
About the compass
The digital compass on your BlackBerry device works like a regular compass, but also includes additional features. For
example, you can choose whether the compass points to true north or magnetic north. The compass also works in any
direction or orientation, including upside down.
Point the compass to true north or to magnetic north
You can choose to navigate with your compass based on either true north or magnetic north. Magnetic north, which is what
a standard compass points to, can be influenced by several factors and isn't constant. True north, or geographical north, is
what you would see on a paper map and is constant. If you would prefer to navigate based on true north (for example, if you
are using your compass to follow a map) you must turn on GPS.
In the compass app, do one of the following:
•
To navigate based on true north, at the bottom of the screen, set the switch to On.
•
To navigate based on magnetic north, at the bottom of the screen, set the switch to Off.
Troubleshooting: Compass
I'm not getting an accurate reading from the compass
Try the following actions:
•
•
If the compass doesn't point north, move your BlackBerry device away from metal objects, such as magnets or
electronics.
If you have turned on Location Services and are navigating based on true north, you need the GPS receiver to be able to
connect to satellites. Try moving outside or near a window in order to establish a GPS connection.

The Smart Tags application explained
The Smart Tags app takes bits of information and transforms the info into a smart tag. Info can include text, websites and
other URIs, phone numbers, email addresses and connection information. You can copy the smart tag to an NFC tag,
display it as a QR Code, or you can pass the smart tag directly to another BlackBerry device. The Smart Tags app allows
you to store the smart tags that you receive and use them or pass them on later.
Instead of handing out business cards, try creating your own smart tag that contains your contact information so that with
just a click, recipients can call, text, or send you an email. Have an event coming up? Try making a smart tag that contains
the event information, then copying the smart tag to a writeable NFC tag that is attached to a small gift for your guests.
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your administrator's settings, and
your BlackBerry device model.
Scan a QR Code, barcode, or an NFC tag
The NFC feature might not be available, depending on your wireless service provider, your administrator's settings, and

About BlackBerry Balance and your work
space
BlackBerry Balance technology helps address corporate security concerns without limiting personal use of your BlackBerry
device. If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance, the device data, apps, and network access are separated so
that you have a work space and a personal space. The separate spaces help you avoid activities such as accidentally
copying work data into a personal app, or displaying confidential work data during a BBM Video chat. If your administrator
turns on BlackBerry Balance, your adminstrator can also specify security policies that turn on and turn off features on your
device. For information about the security policies set on your device, contact your administrator.
By default, your device uses the personal space. You can it use for activities such as taking pictures, downloading videos,
playing games online, saving files to a media card, and posting on a social network.
In your work space, you can access your work email, contacts, and calendar, create work documents, and browse to
corporate intranet sites. Your work space can include a separate version of BlackBerry World that contains the applications

Service 10. After your admin sets up BlackBerry Balance, a work space is automatically added to your BlackBerry device
and you are prompted to finish the activation.
For more information about the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, visit blackberry.com/business.html and

administrator can allow work apps to access your organization's Wi-Fi or VPN network.
On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Image Settings > BlackBerry Balance. If the Allow
Personal Apps to Use Work Networks switch is on, you can use personal apps on your organization's network.
If personal apps aren't allowed to use your organization's networks and if a personal network isn't available, personal apps
that need access to the Internet might not work.
Where is my picture that I just took?
If your BlackBerry device uses BlackBerry Balance technology, attachments saved from work email messages are only
accessible in the work space. Any pictures taken using your device camera, whether you opened the Camera app from
your work or personal space, are stored in your personal space. All of your media card files are also stored in your personal
space.
For example, since BBM is a personal app, to create a profile picture, you can use a picture taken with your camera, but
you can't use a picture that you downloaded from an email message sent to your work account.
What happens to my device data if I leave my
organization?
If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance technology, your administrator can delete your work data from the work
space on your BlackBerry device and leave your personal data and applications intact in the personal space. If you store
personal data within work apps, for example you add a personal contact to the Contacts app in your work space, that
personal data is deleted from your device when your administrator deletes your work space.
Your administrator can delete all of your device data, including your personal content. This feature helps to secure your
device if your device was lost or stolen.

My device is quarantined
Your BlackBerry device might be quarantined if you add a work account that is associated with the BlackBerry Enterprise
Service 10, and the SIM card in your device doesn't have services activated correctly. Your device might also be
quarantined if the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 detects the security of your device has been compromised.
If your device is quarantined, you are notified by your administrator that your device can't access your work space until you
resolve the issue. Your administrator might delete the data on your device, prevent access to unlock your device, or remove
your device from your organization's network.
To leave quarantine, try using a different SIM card or changing your service plan. If the security of your device has been
compromised, you might need to wipe your device to delete all the data. For further assistance, contact your administrator.
Remember
BlackBerry Remember is a productivity app for collecting, managing, and categorizing the information that you want to
remember. With the Remember app, you can sort your information as entries in folders, categorize the entries with tags,
record voice notes that are related to the entries, and add due dates to entries so that you don't forget to complete a task.
Collecting and organizing tasks, notes, and more with
the Remember app
For example, if you're planning a trip to Paris, you can create a folder called "My Trip to Paris" in the Remember app. As
you're browsing the Internet on your device, you can send trip-related websites to the folder. When you remember
something you need to do before the trip, you can add a to-do item to the folder, and add a due date to the item so that you
don't forget about it. Everything you need to remember about the trip is in one place.
The Remember app is designed to sync with the accounts that you add to your BlackBerry device. If you added a work
email account to your device, your tasks and notes from your work account are kept in sync with the Remember app in the
Tasks and Notes folders, and your flagged messages are also synced. If you added an Evernote account to your device, you
can access your Evernote notebooks in the Remember app and sync your Remember folders to Evernote.

There are several types of locks, PINs, and passwords that you can use to help protect your BlackBerry device.
If you use your device for work, your organization might already have security settings in place, such as requiring a
password to unlock your device.
BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry ID is an email address and password that gives you access to BlackBerry websites, apps, and services. If you
change your BlackBerry device, a BlackBerry ID helps you to transfer data to your new device. Make sure that you use the
same BlackBerry ID for all of your BlackBerry devices.
Log in with your BlackBerry ID to do the following and much more:

•
Keep track of your app purchases and payment options from the BlackBerry World storefront.
Make the most of BBM features, such as backing up and moving BBM contacts to a new BlackBerry device.
Start and stop BlackBerry Protect.
Password locking and screen locking
While your device is locked, you can still receive notifications of new email and text messages (SMS and MMS), make an
emergency phone call, view your battery charge level, set an alarm, or take a picture.
To conserve battery power and avoid accidental key presses, lock the screen. To help to avoid unauthorized use of your
device, you need to set a device password.
In your display and security settings, you can set your device to lock itself after a certain amount of inactivity. You can also
write a custom message that displays on the locked screen.
If you forget your password, it can't be recovered. BlackBerry recommends that you back up your data regularly. By
default, for security reasons your device data is deleted when an incorrect password is entered ten times.

If you associate your device with your organization's network, your administrator might turn on BlackBerry Balance
technology. BlackBerry Balance is designed to separate and secure areas of your device as work-only or personal-only.

If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter an unlock code, your SIM card will allow emergency calls only. For
assistance, you can contact your service provider.
SIM card PINs
You can set two different PINs for the SIM card in your device. You can use a SIM card PIN to help to prevent unauthorized
use of your SIM card in another device. For example, if you lose your SIM card and someone tries to use it in another
device, the SIM card can't be used unless the PIN is entered correctly. If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to
enter the SIM card PIN, your SIM card will stop functioning. To unblock your SIM card, contact your wireless service
provider for a PUK code.
A SIM card PIN2 is designed to enable certain phone features like fixed dialing.
To get a SIM card PIN, contact your service provider and turn on SIM card security in your security settings.
Lock or unlock your device
Tip: A quick tap on the Power/Lock key will put your device to sleep. This should help you conserve battery power.

I can't turn on BlackBerry Protect
If your BlackBerry device is associated with the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, this feature might be turned off by your
administrator. To learn about how your device can be protected against loss or theft, contact your administrator.
Security settings
You can set and change the security settings for applications on your BlackBerry device, and set up parental controls to
restrict or limit access to features and content. You can use a smart card, and import certificates from your computer to
increase the security of data on your device. And if you need to permanently delete all data from your device, you can wipe
it.
Setting security permissions for apps
BlackBerry 10 OS includes application permissions that are designed to let you control the information and features that an
application can access on your BlackBerry device. For example, you can control whether an app can access your email,
contacts, pictures, or the location of your device. Keep in mind that some applications require specific permissions to work.
You can also help safeguard your device by downloading apps only from trusted sources, such as the BlackBerry World
storefront.

When you open an app for the first time, your device might display a list of the files and features that the app wants to
access. If something doesn't seem right to you, you can reject the app's request to access an item. For example, you might
download a game that requests access to your messages, which might make sense if the game includes a feature to share
your game score. However, if you aren't comfortable with the game having the ability to compose and view your email
messages, you can turn off access to messages or delete the app. You can view or change permissions for most apps in
your device settings.
For some apps, when you install the app, you are prompted to accept or decline all of the requested permissions. If you
decline, the prompt will appear again the first time you open the app. You can't change the application permissions later
unless you delete and reinstall the app.
Change or view app permissions
In some apps, if you turn off permissions, the app might not work as you expect. If an app isn’t working as you expect it to,
consider turning on some or all of the app permissions.
