We have developed an application using blackberry api 4.2.1. The application works fine in blackberry devices running with OS 5.0. But for devices like blackberry torch with OS 6.0 there is a lag time issue when filling out a form. If i want to enter a text in basic edit field its takes around 40 seconds to diaply the typed text in the field. This is the case for other controls like date field, object choice field, check box and radio button field.
I have no idea why this problem occurs in device with OS 6.0 especially in blackberry torch 9800. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Karthick K.
The JAD for blackberry6 device is prepared using OS6 API only. The form we have in BB is a big one. The form has 100 questions most of them are ObjectChoiceField and BasicEditField. Each and every field is registered with a listener. BasicEditField is more slower than ObjectChoiceField. We don't have this problem in devices with OS4.5 and OS5.0.
The problem is in devices with OS 6.0 especially blackberry torch 9800.

I had done my regional language(telugu) application .it is working in OS 7 (9790) but I need it in OS 6 also all the mechanism is working like parsing ,but not displaying the font(appears like boxes).
plz help me to over come this situation
With the OS6 device, try loading a web page with telugu, to make sure the device is configured properly with fonts. If the web browser is not able to render the telugu text, then you need to look into the device's font configuration.
Hi i need to buy a blackberry to test my applications. I want to buy a device which supports more OS versions (I will be happy if it supports all versions). Which Blackberry device will supports OS 4, 5 and 6 ?? can any one help ??
BlackBerry devices only ever tend to support two major OS releases so you're out of luck trying to run all three on any one handset.
If you can only buy one handset then I suggest you buy one the later ones. This is because a phone running OS7 can also run applications written for OS6,5,4.5 etc
There are still quirks you will run into, but even the two phones running the same OS may function differently. E.g. if the internal storage is based on a microsd card or not.
RIM has done an excellent job of providing simulators for every type of phone so in the first instance you can download and try these.
If you run into a problem that's specific to one device and you cannot replicate it on the simulator then another option is to subscribe to services like DeviceAnywhere
In my opinion if you are designing a UI it's essential to be able to test touchscreen and trackball devices. Therefore I suggest the Torch or Bold 9900 as be good candidates for you as they can do both.
There is no BlackBerry device that supports all versions: OS 4.x and OS 5 and OS 6.
I have a t-mobile pre-paid sim and wifi. I'm working on a website that would like to target BB 6 and newer. One of the unique things about the BB is that many of the devices have a keyboard and touchpad.
Is there a device with a keyboard I can get that would work with my sim and wifi that would let me test websites? (without a data plan)
I looked at the BB Bold 9900. This seems to be the right type of device but that particular model is a bit pricey. Would be nice to go back a generation.
Just to be clear, my requirements are:
Work without a data plan (therefore wifi)
Keyboard / touchpad (touch screen optional but nice)
Compatible with t-mobile prepaid sim.
BlackBerry OS 6
I'd love to hear your suggestions, thanks!
BB 9700 - while launched with OS5, can meanwhile run OS6 too. No touch screen though
I'd just get the cheapest one. Not sure you need your SIM to work in it if you're just using WiFi.
FYI, you can download blackberry simulators from RIM. They're not quite the same as using the actual device (namely in terms of keyboard simulation) but they work in a pinch.
Why don't trying the 9930 Blackberry device running OS 7.0
It will meet all your requirements
I'm trying to figure out what phone to use to test my black berry app on where I'm using jde version 6.0
I tried to google emulators, I thought the emulate=or would tell you what jde version its using, but I got the link
https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=060AD92489947D410D897474079C1477
which had a drop down for emulters pertaing to a os version, not a device.
I also googled blackberry phone jde 6.0, this did not work.
Is there a web page that has what os version each phone has?
or I was going to get the storm, does it use 6.0 or higher?
also would any blackberry phone with a camero have 6.0 or higher?
The thing is that unless the model is quite old, the devices within the model can range through multiple OS versions.
For example, the BlackBerry Bold can be found with an OS as old as 4.3 installed on it, but you can also find recent models that come out of the factory with OS 6 installed.
At Antair, our current device of choice to test on is the BlackBerry Torch. It is one of the more popular models used by consumers these days. It also has a touch-screen and a physical keyboard, and allows the user to flip from portrait to landscape mode. Torch models come out of the factory with RIM OS 6 installed.
So, if you're going to buy a physical device to test on, due to the range of features, the availability of RIM OS 6, and the popularity of the device, I would recommend the BlackBerry Torch.
You might have a look at this page which gives you access to the simulators in a slightly different direction, letting you choose the device model first.
is it possible to turn over Application of Blackberry bold 9000 to blackberry 8520 ?
Any one have idea?
EDIT::
i want to switch Application
BB bold 9000 OS-->5.0.0.411 to
BB curve 8520 OS --> 4.6.0..
it is possible or not...
Thanks..
That depends on the requirements of your application. Unless you are using any OS or hardware specific functionality, turning over your application from one phone to another should not be an issue. By OS specific I mean functionality that is available in, for instance, OS v5.0 and not available in v4.0.
Basically, your question is a bit vague for us to provide a 'Yes' or a 'No'
