When you first get your new BlackBerry you will find many applications. Some are good (Facebook, MSN MEssenger etc. Others are pretty crappy.  This tutorial (with images) will show you the fundamentals of how to move an application 2 ways. Firstly from one folder to another and then within a folder.  Follow the instructions below as a rough guide, the images were taken with a Storm 2 but the actions are the same with pretty much all the devices.

1. Navigate to the Home Screen

Step 1

2. Go to the Main Menu and then the folder that contains the application you need moved.

Step 1-04

3. Once in the required folder, select the application by highlighting it with your cursor or touching it lightly on the touchscreen models. Once you’ve done this press the BlackBerry Button and select Move To Folder.

Step 1-05

4. Select the folder you want to move the app too (this will most likely be the Home Screen)

Step 1-06

5. The app is now moved.  If you want to move the application within that folder do so by highlighting the app again and pressing the BlackBerry Button. Then select Move as below.

Step 1-08

6. The icon will then have four arrows around it indicating it is ready to be moved, find the location you would like it to be and select it.

Step 1-107. Done, the application is now moved, you will notice that because I selected one of the first 8 icons it has shown up on my Home Screen in position 4.  This is a setting of the theme you are using so if it doesn’t show up here but it does on the Main Menu don’t be surprised.

Enjoy,  If you liked it share it below.

If you are searching for this site chances are that you have either misplaced, lost or forgotten the URL to change your BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) email accounts.  Below is a list of links to most major carriers offering BlackBerry services.  You will find that not all Carriers are listed, for 1 because there are just too many to list and 2, because they change frequently and keeping up can be very time consuming.  

For that reason if you find a broken link or would even like to add a link for you local carrier please use the comments section below.  Any additional carriers will be listed in the main article once confirmed.

Changing themes on your BlackBerry is one of the many things you can do to customize your device.  A BB theme changes more than just the wallpaper, there are many different screens on your device that will normally be customized when a new theme is selected such as:

  1. Home Screen
  2. Main Menu
  3. Active Call
  4. Incoming Call

This is a simple tutorial to show you how to change themes rather than the wallpaper.  Now I’m assuming you have downloaded a new theme already.  If you haven’t there are some FREE themes available to download on this website at this link.  I have used the BlackBerry Storm for my images below but the theory is the same for devices such as BlackBerry Bold, Curve etc.

1.  Navigate to the Main Menu Screen and select Options as below.

Main Menu Screen select Options

Main Menu Screen select Options

2.  Scroll to the bottom of the menu until you find Themes and select it as below.

Find Themes and Select it

Find Themes and Select it

3.  Highlight the theme you would like to use and Select it by pressing the screen if using the Storm or pressing the trackball if using any other device.

Highlight and Press to Select

Highlight and Press to Select

Your device will now freeze for 30 seconds or so while the changes are applied and your new theme is ready to go.  It is recommended to reset your device by using an application like QuickPull or removing your battery after changing themes.  This will clear the cache and potentially speed up your device.

Why pay for something you already own, this tutorial with images will show you how to create a free ringtone from your own MP3’s.  You’ll need iTunes but if you have an iPhone you should already have it.  This tutorial is designed for Windows users but the fundamentals are the same for Mac users

Find your favorite song in iTunes.

Once you’ve found the song you want to turn into a ringtone right click it and select ‘Get Info’

Click Get Info
Click Get Info

Now choose the Options Tab

Navigate to the Options Tab
Navigate to the Options Tab

Ringtones are generally only 30 seconds so you need to decide which 30 seconds you want to use, I’ve found the chorus is normally the most popular.  Once you have selected the 30 seconds you want to use put a checkbox in the start and stop section with the time you have chosen.  I’ve selected from 15 seconds until 45 seconds.

15 - 45 seconds
15 – 45 seconds

Make sure you press ok or this new selection won’t save.

Now right click again and select Create AAC Version

Create AAC Version
Create AAC Version

This will now create a new file with the same name but you will notice that the length of the track is now 30 seconds.

Now 30 Seconds Long
Now 30 Seconds Long

Nearly there now, next step is to change the file type.  To do this we need to make sure your computer is showing the file type suffix.  Navigate to your computer Control Panel and open Folder Options.  Now select the view tab as below.

Select the View Tab
Select the View Tab

Now we need to untick the line that says Hide extensions for known file types.

Untick this option
Untick this option

Back to iTunes now, find the file we created previously.  Right click and select Show in Windows Explorer.

Show in Windows Explorer
Show in Windows Explorer

Windows Explorer will now have opened the folder where your file is located, you will notice that the file has a suffix of .m4a we are going to change this to .m4r you will get a warning select yes.

Yes we do want to change it thank you
Yes we do want to change it thank you

Now drag the newly created file into the Ringtones folder in your iTunes library.

Sync to your phone and  hey presto you’re done.

Step 2 – Scroll to the botton of the pop up menu and select SET RING TONES/ALERTS

Step 3 – Select Messagescapture16_17_46

Step 4 – Now select SMS Textcapture16_17_57


Step 5 – At the top select Ring Tone (don’t be fooled it will be the SMS tone or level 1 message tonecapture16_18_13

Step 6 – Scroll through the tones until you find the one you want, if you can’t find it scroll to the top and select Browse to go through you’re folders

Step 7 – Once you have selected the tone make sure you adjust the volume and LED status.

Step 8 – When you are happy with all the selections press the arrow back to exit, you will be asked to Save or Discard your settings.

Congratulations your done!
