BES server is normally installed at the office network/data center connected to the internet isit ?

BES = BlackBerry Enterprise Server - For company and corporate server

Ok. Thanks mate

ALT + AGNT = Advanced Handheld Agent. Gives the ability to reset the agent from the device.

You try to test it and see no outcome after pressed..

Could it be something in the background ? In the application processes or something ?

Yea I will figure it out and be back to you on this..

Thanks bro. Will be waiting for yr update.

BTW there are not much BES user here..

R u using BIS or BES?

Of course BIS..

Im yet to meet someone using BES

Few contact in my BBM are under BES.. Nothing different...

Yes, BES BlackBerry Enterprise Server...

BES mostly for corporate users?

Give your employees wireless access to Microsoft® Exchange email, calendar and more

BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express wirelessly synchronizes Microsoft® Exchange with BlackBerry® smartphones.

It provides advanced BlackBerry smartphone business features with no software license fees or additional per user license fees, and works with most personal BlackBerry data plans or BlackBerry enterprise data plans.

So BES service is still provided by telco or have to deploy a server in the office or data center ?

BES is typically deployed and managed within the enterprise by messaging administrators (for example, the individuals already responsible for managing Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise) or sometimes a dedicated IT person, usually called the BlackBerry or BES Administrator.

Can a normal PC run BES service ?

Nope its just Server...

Ok. So ill kjust drop the idea then.

You still can consult your Telco about this...

these information provided is really useful for us and by this we really come to know about the hidden commands from which we are totally unaware...thanks alot for uplaoding this and i am sure this will be the best one for people

That for sure, all information here are useful especially for those just own BlackBerry device..

Ya for pioneers like Dickson all the command is in his mind. Can remember by heart already.

If you really like the stuff and you are interested on it I believe it can be easily to be remember even its a command...

Yup bro, u made a point there

Just a few command try to remember those important ones...

I saved important ones in my BB and iPhone.

Try to backup our Balckberry weekly via Desktop Manager, just in case anything happened we still got backup copy...

Ya happen to me once. My BB got restarted on its own n then all data was wiped. Lost all info. Sigh.

Download BlackBerry Desktop Manager here:

For Windows: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/des.../desktop_pc.jsp

For Mac: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/des...desktop_mac.jsp

happen to me before.

my OS got corrupted out of nowhere when I'm outside. Keep restarting itself..

my greatest regret for not backing up

Always do backup frequently...

yeah, been doing it regularly. The last thing I want is to have my contact list lost and my other beautiful camera pictures disappearing.

A regular backup will save us alot of hassle in case anything happened... Remember to set your photos to be saved in media instead of phone...

true, thanks for reminding about saving photo to media card.

You are welcome...

If us os6 some of the command changes

Yes which command code you need???

Wow! Useful tips I never knew my BB could do!

It should can do more than you expected...

thanx 4 ths info

You are welcome hope you can gain more knowledge from this forum...

where am i to refer the activation password for account activation??

I dont understand your question??

Mind to elaborate more clearly...

How about doing back-up using BlackBerry Protect? Is it good enough?

Anything wrong???

Oh it was a silly mistake, I was trying to look for Status in option in OS6, turns on in OS5 is Option>Status while in OS6 is Option>Device>Status. Silly me

Small matter only as long as we all are BlackBerry families...

Actually I am still using an iPhone, I am still researching and saving up money for a Blackberry 9900 , wished they could make a third party battery that would double the phones battery's mAh

Dont worry there will be soon lots of AP battery with higher capacity will be on sale in market...

nice one ! thanks for sharing

very helping.thanks~

as for BIS, no hidden command? =.=!

as for BIS, the general hidden command go to --> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1016116

Very good help for the beginners mate! LGLG is the first shortcut that every BB users should know.
