Q. Some say the Blackberry goes to the server every 15 minutes to check for any data in the email, this process is called 'Polling' and others reveal that the BlackBerry does not poll the server to look for updates. It simply waits for the update to arrive and notifies the user when it does. What is the correct answer?
A. The Blackberry, like every cell type of device polls. But it does not mean what you describe. The polling that takes place is a "keep-alive" type of data packet. The purpose is to let the network know where the phone is located physically on the network at any given time. As a user moves from place to place the cell towers keep a record of those movements so that when you want to make a call or send data of any type you will already be connected and ready go. This is how you get an "always on" connection.
The polling intervals vary by providers but they are generally constant IE every so many seconds or nanoseconds.
If the network receives a piece of data destine for your device, the network sends the data immediately after it arrives. The network does not wait for any length of time beyond the time it takes to forward the message. There can be delays caused by no or poor signal in which case the information is stored until the connection is restored and is then downloaded.
My BlackBerry won't connect to the internet, receive emails and BlackBerry Messenger does not work?
Q. I recently changed the sim card of my BlackBerry 8520 from an 02 sim to a giffgaff one. Since then, the phone has been unable to connect to the internet or use any data. The phone is also permanently stuck on 'gprs' mode and will not connect to a 3g network. I am also unable to log in to my BlackBerry ID. I would appreciate opinions on this matter, thank you!
A. Things to do (in my opinion):
1. Try to put the Oâ SIM card back in your BlackBerry device and check whether it's now able to connect to the internet and you are able to use all the BlackBerry service (BBM, Log in to BlackBerry ID, etc) like before » Please make sure that both your Oâ and GiffGaff are registered to the BlackBerry Internet Service.
If the problem persists...
2. Try to contact the GiffGaff provider's Customer Service and ask them for help.
If the problem stay still...
3. Try to check whether your BlackBerry device is locked by a provider or not. You can ask about this to the place where you bought your BlackBerry device.
(A locked-by-a-single-provider BlackBerry device usually sold as one in a bundling -BlackBerry handset with a SIM card already- and sometimes there's a provider brand logo stamped on the BlackBerry device)
If the problem still persist (again)...
4. Try to check whether your BlackBerry device got an error/bug(s) in its device software.
For this one, you need to check your BlackBerry device software version by typing: "myver" (without the quotation mark) anywhere on your BlackBerry device, then check on the internet, what's the latest version of the BlackBerry 8520 device software. If your device software is not up to date, you may need to upgrade your BlackBerry device software (newer device software usually contains a lot of bug and error fixes, etc).
Hope one of the solutions there help you solve the problem.
How best dry blackberry leaves preserving the medicinal value?
Q. Do wild blackberry leaves keep their medicinal value when dried in a dehydrator, or is it best to dry naturally?
I'm having some severe health problems right now and finding that the wild blackberry leaf tea is working wonders so have picked a huge batch to dry now.
Also, if you know, I read that the leaves are most potent if picked before or when the plants are blooming. Is there any merit to that?
Thanks very much in advance.
A. Iâve done a little research on this and discovered a few bits of information that might be useful. One suggestion came from the following site:
http://www.natural-healing-guide.com/Therapeutic-Teas/Blackberry-Leaf-Tea.htm
You might find the paragraph that states the following helpful,
âFermenting the blackberry leaves enhances their flavor and therapeutic effect. To ferment, crush slightly wilted blackberry leaves with a rolling pin. Wrap the leaves in a damp cloth and hang them in a warm place. After two or three days, the leaves will exude a rose like scent. At this point, remove the leaves from the cloth; let them dry before usingâ
This website supports what you appear to have already discovered:
http://www.pickyourown.org/DHbasilmint.htm
One sentence in the article states:
âThe best time to cut herbs for drying is just before they flower. This is when the leaves have the most oil, which is what gives herbs aroma and flavor.â I recall from my distant past that marijuana growers and users find the flower tops to be the most potent part of this plant so this could very possibly be true of other plants like blueberry.
Hope this helps and that youâre feeling better soon.
