Kate asked us,
I upgraded my Blackberry OS after following the instructions to install the Zen theme. The theme is neat but after awhile I found out I was missing my browser. Thinking it was something to do with the theme, I switched back to my old theme and my browser is still missing! Any ideas?
This is actually a common occurrence when upgrading the operating system on the Blackberry handheld. It is an easy fix for the most part, just do the following:
1. Options –> Advanced Options –> Host Routing Tables.
2. In this screen you may see several entries, ignore the others and highlight the bold entry.
3. Wheel-click and select ‘Register Now’.
4. Close the screen and go back to the Home Screen. Give about 30 seconds for your browser to reappear.
If you’re going to be staying somewhere foreign for an extended period of time it may be a good idea to change the time zone on your Blackberry.
To change your time zone do the following:
1. From the Home screen, click Options.
2. From the Options screen, click Date/Time.
3. With the Time Zone field already selected, click the trackwheel and select ‘Change Option’.
4. Using the trackwheel, scroll through the list and select the desired time zone and save your changes.
