Will these tips and tricks work on 8700?

Thanks.

I am running version 4 code on the handheld and the desktop.

Neither of the menus above can be found. There is no "Redirector Settings" option in the Desktop Manager, and no Email Settings menu under Messages=>Options in the handheld.

I've been fustrated that I can never seem to remember shortcuts, so I decided to annotate them as below. You may (or may not!) find this useful. This is on 4.1 on an 8700g. It's a shame RIM don't underscore the shortcut letters on the menu texts...

to change the "sent from my blackberry" thing at the bottom of your outgoing emails, you just log onto your online email account and change your "signature" although if you do that then people will not know that you have the coolest device since the invention of the microwave.

If you are running software version 4.0.xx or lower this selection is only to tease you. You must be running 4.1.xx or higher in order to use "themes".

Hello All,
I just inherited a BES server in DEC. We just upgraded to 4.1. How do I stop sent messages from the desktop from syncing with the BB.
7280 and 90's.
Thanks.

How do you mark hundreds of messages as read? There used to be a shortcut in my 7230 but I can't find it on my newest BB from Verizon. Thanks

Higlight the latest date and then click-select Mark Prior Opened?

there is only Mark Opened, no Mark Prior Opened :(

Does anyone know if there is a "send message/e-mail" shortcut??

What about typing out web addresses in text messages when the first letter u type is the "h" in "http" or the "w" in "www"?

agreed, this would be very convenient--- i hate having to click the scrollwheel.. does anyone know of a way to send messages w/o using the wheel?

I would like to know if there is a keyboard shortcut to access the trackwheel menu w/out having to click the trackwheel. This would solve the above problem and give access to a great amount of other options w/out clicking the trackwheel...

7130e VZW 4.1.0.268

Do people hate using the trackwheel because thay think it's slower, or because they're afraid it's fragile?

i cant speak for everyone but I find the trackwheel slower to use

I hate the TW b/c it is slower to use. I don't think it is fragile.

I didn't see this when I searched but has anyone seen the <$removeondelivery> flag? It deletes the email when it is delivered to the device. Aside from this and <confirm> does anyone know if there are there any others?

I would really like to know that too!

Doesn't look like it's intemed to be used by a user, though

I am looking for a way to send periodic test messages to users on my BES to confirm that they are working. But I'd like for them to not notice that I'm doing it. This looks promising but I stumbled across it in that same link that you posted. So I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has found other flags that may be usefull as well.

Once I'm done typing an e-mail, is there a way to send the e-mail by just pressing a key?? It seems like all we have is press the trackwheel and then hit enter to send...or press the wheel again. I'd like to send my e-mail without using the trackwheel. T H A N K Y O U !

No need to cross post, your answer will be found on your e-mailing 101 thread.

Is there a way to change the battery life bars to actual numbers? I found the tip on how to change the signall strength by holding down the ALT key and typing nmll but didn't find anything on changing the battery life meter to numbers. I apologize in advance if this was already asked and answered. I did try searching but came up empty.

Install BBToday (a free app) and you will be able to see it in numbers.

Cool, Thanks.

Anybody know how to do this easily. When reading messages, just say I want to go back to 2 weeks ago. Is there an easy way to goto a specific date without scrolling.

Thanks

You need to get Stinssonddog's great tips file for loads of keyboard short cuts. http://home.comcast.net/~tamsterra/index.html

Does anyone know if it's possible to force the "Phone Number Hyperlink" to dial a non-standard number? For example, I want my conference call appointments to have the dial in number followed by two pauses ("N"s on my 7510) followed by the conference call number and a #.

I can dial this in one entry from the phone screen, but to be truly useful, it needs to be a hyperlink from the appointment screen. But, if I include the extended dialing info, the hyperlink disappears. Any ideas? Are there tags I can use to force the dialer?

Answering my own post for posterity.

Using a hyperlink with the "tel:" type (instead of http) does the trick. Also, to insert spaces (at least with my Nextel service) use commas (,) for a 2 second pause per comma.

So, <a href="tel:18665551234,,12345#">Click to dial</a> did the trick.

Cool tip, thanks Chris.

I used to be able to press "m" on the home screen to take me to messages. I did a security wipe on my handheld ands now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks all!

I did a search and didn't see an answer to this, so please forgive me if it's posted somewhere.

Is there a shortcut to turning wireless on/off for the 8700c?

Thanks

Michael (or anyone??) What is the answer to your question? I can't find a response on this thread. I want to "send" without using the track wheel...

It worked for me. 7100i Powered by Nextel

Delivery Confirmation: Add “<confirm>” to the beginning of your subject line. You must include the brackets. You will get an email back confirming delivery of your message. This is on BB 7250 (4.1) using BES 4.0 on an Exchange Email System.

thanx a lot.i'd like to translate it into Chinese for our Chinese users,it that ok?

Does anyone know a key to mark an email opened? I will read emails in OWA or Outlook and they are still unread on my BB so I need a way to mark them read quickly.

How can you turn off automatic delivery confirmation when you put <confirm> in the front of subject?

Useful for those looking to RETURN devices shortly after buying:
