Tricks the keyboard shortcut for blackberry

Quick navigation can be got thru shortcut keys in almost all native apps. There are Blackberry tips have been available such as home screen shortcuts, browser shortcuts, message screen shortcuts and so on.

But are you notice that it can be a lil bit frustrating when you try a new app without shortcuts? In the beginning you may think it seems like to have shortcut but turns out to be not (like some Twitter applications).

Email and Messaging

In the Message List

• (Some of these work in tasks, memos, and appointments also)
• Sorting:
• ALT-i: show only incoming mail
• ALT-o: show only outgoing mail (messages you have sent – i.e. checkmark icon)

Navigating:

• t: go to top of message listing
• b: go to end/bottom of message listing
• backspace: close message listing and return to home screen (ribbon)
• Deleting multiple messages at once:

Highlight a date (i.e. Fri, Oct 05,2001) in the message list, hit the thumb-wheel and select delete prior. All messages prior to that date will be deleted.

Hold down the CAP key and use the thumb-wheel to scroll up or down to select messages. Click the thumb-wheel and select ‘Delete Messages’. Combine this with a sorting tip to make it even more useful (i.e. To delete the last 5 messages that you have sent (checkmarks), press ‘ALT’ then the letter ‘o’ (for outgoing) this will show all of your sent messages, then per this tip scroll down and select the last five.

Tips Email and Messaging

Insert a period

When typing in an email or text message, press the space bar twice. In a web address, press the spacebar once.
Insert the @ sign

When typing in an email address, press the space bar.
Use spell check
Use spell check

Eliminate typos! In the device options, click on Spell Check and set your preferences.
Capitalize a letter

Hold the letter key until the capitalized letter appears.
Highlight text

Press the Shift key and scroll across the text with the trackball.
Cut/Copy text

Highlight text and then click the trackball. Click Cut or Copy.
Paste text

After you have cut or copied text, place the cursor where you want to paste it. Click the trackball and click Paste.
View messages

To view only received messages in a message list, press the Alt key and the I key (press the 3 key if you have a SureType device). To view only sent messages, the Alt key and the O key (press the ? key if you have a SureType device). Click the Escape key to view all messages again.
Separate messages

Separate text and email messages into their own message lists. In a message list, click the Menu key and click Options. Click General Options and set the SMS and Email Inboxes to Separate.

Composing Message

• Press and hold a letter to capitalize it (with Key Rate enabled).
• Press the SPACE key twice to insert a period and capitalize the next letter.
• Press the SPACE key to insert the “@” and “.” characters in an Email field. Backspace and type again to over-ride this like you would with AutoText.
• Press and hold a letter key and roll the thumb-wheel to scroll through international/accent characters, equation symbols and other marks.

Calendar

• Press T to go to “Today” in the Calendar screen.
• Press G to go to a specific date in the Calendar screen.
• The default date range for Calendar synchronization in Desktop Manager may not suit most people. While configuring the Calendar synchronization, click the Advanced button and specify the desired range.

Battery Care & Feeding

• A new battery should be charged fully, then depleted to red-line. Repeat for 2-3 cycles to condition the battery.
• Charge the phone nightly. Frequent top-offs are better for a LiIon battery than deep discharges. Consider a charging pod.
• Set the clock option for When Charging: Enter Bedside Mode. This dims the outer screen and turns off LED notifications.
• Once in a great while, red-line the battery. This recalibrates the battery meter.
• The Options screen has a more accurate reading than the battery meter. Settings->Options->Status.

Geek Tips

Rather than looking at the bars, you can change the display of the ‘percentage of battery remaining’ and the ‘signal strength’ to read in real numbers. While at the home screen (ribbon), hold down the orange ALT key while you type DBON. The bars should change to read numbers. For the ‘signal strength’, if you are in the 100 area (that means -100 dBm), you will be transmitting at maximum power (2 Watts), and since coverage is hit and miss at this weak a signal, you may end up transmitting many times before the packets make it through. This might help explain any poorer than normal battery life.

To get the bars back: While at the home screen (ribbon), hold down the orange ALT key while you type DBOF.

Hold down the orange ALT key -AND- the CAP key at the same time, then the letter ‘b’. This will show you the ‘Device Status’ screen with extended battery info and other stuff. This tip should work from any screen.

Hold down the orange ALT key -AND- the CAP key at the same time, then the letter ‘r’. This will show you the ‘Radio Status’ screen. Clicking on some of the info opens up news windows. Pressing the letter ‘p’ while on the ‘Radio Status’ screen sends a packet to the system which will send your BB an acknowledgement in return.

This is useful if you are in a weak signal area and want to stop your BB from searching for other sites. You can do this and your BB might stay there long enough to let you send that message that you might normally be in a too weak of an area to send. Also, pressing the letter “b” on this screen will get you the same ‘Device Status’ screen as tip #3 above. This tip should work from any screen.

Application Tips

• Update your BlackBerry to the latest firmware. Newer firmware often incorporates battery-saving tweaks.
• Always exit applications using Menu->Exit or Menu->Close. Forgotten applications running in the background will leech your battery. While holding down the Alt key, press Escape then scroll left/right to see the running applications.
• BerryWeather: set updates as infrequent as tolerable. Menu->Settings, “Auto Update” and “Advisory Auto Update”.
• E*Trade Mobile Pro: disable streaming quotes
• Slacker: cache stations on your microSD card instead of streaming them OTA.
• WeatherBug: set updates as infrequent as tolerable. Settings->Options->WeatherBug Settings, Menu->Advanced Settings.

WordPress Founder on the Key to Open Source Success [INTERVIEW]

 

As a 19-year-old college student in 2003, Matt Mullenweg developed what has become the largest self-hosted blogging tool on the web. Two years later, he foundedAutomattic, which runs the content management system for WordPress and a handful of other web tools.

WordPress — still free and open source — is currently used by more than 12% of the top million websites (this one included). In a recent e-mail exchange, Mullenwegdiscussed the open source movement, the shifting personal web publishing world, and the future of WordPress.

• 1. How did WordPress change the Internet?

  Well we’re not done yet, but two things WordPress has been able to exemplify is that Open Source can create great user experiences and that it’s possible to have a successful commercial entity and a wider free software community living and working in harmony.

• 2. What is the biggest shift that has happened in personal publishing since WordPress.org was launched in 2003 and WordPress.com in 2005?

  To me the biggest shift has been in mobile. From the first time I held an iPhone, the space has evolved quickly, and people have shifted from reading content on their desktops to smartphones and iPads, even long-form stuff. Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age — its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience. People still need longer stuff, but they see the headline on Twitter or Facebook.

• 3. Automattic continues to expand in terms of customers, VIP services and acquisitions. Any plans to go public or broach the IPO pool?

  We love the freedom afforded by being an independent company and plan to stay that way for the foreseeable future. In that scenario, being publicly held is one of the obvious liquidity options for shareholders, but in an environment where even companies with massive revenues like Zynga and Facebook aren’t public, I think for Automattic it’s many years off and not something that influences our decisions day-to-day.

• 4. How do you balance your commitment to open source with your capitalistic ambitions?

  I don’t balance them — they’re both out in full force. The more money Automattic makes, the more we invest into Free and Open Source software that belongs to everybody and services to make that software sing. The more I make, the more I donate to non-profits spreading Open Source to the world.

• 5. What do you think are the biggest concerns facing the open source movement?

  The biggest challenge for Open Source is that as it enters the consumer market, as projects like WordPress and Firefox have done, you have to create a user experience that is on par or better than the proprietary alternatives. Traditional Open Source development models, like the Apache one, are not set up to do that. In server software options are good — in consumer web interfaces they’re a cognitive burden.

  While I personally believe strongly in the philosophy and ideology of the Free Software movement, you can’t win people over just on philosophy; you have to have a better product too.

• 6. WordPress.com has adopted many of the features that Tumblr, Posterous and other microblogging services have popularized. Is this going to continue in the future? Any plans to integrate some of the WP.com microblogging tools into self-hosted WordPress.org sites?

  Absolutely, and that’s all I can say for now. 🙂

   

HP Unveils webOS 2.0

In addition to announcing the Palm Pre 2 Tuesday, HP announced webOS 2.0, which the company claims is the most significant update to the platform since its launch in 2009.

HP purchased Palm back in April, largely because of the promise of its mobile software platform, webOS. Visually, webOS 2.0 retains the flourish of its predecessor, but operationally it’s a lot more robust.

HP is bringing webOS 2.0 first to SFR in France via the new Palm Pre 2. The Palm Pre 2 will hit Verizon later this year. HP says existing customers can expect the webOS 2.0 update to arrive “in the coming months.”

So what’s new in webOS 2.0? The Palm Pre 2 page has a pretty good explanation, but here are some highlights:

The new Synergy feature is one of the cooler new software features for keeping contacts and calendars updated. You can automatically sync your Facebook (), LinkedIn (), Google (), Yahoo () and Microsoft Exchange info. If a contact’s information changes in one place, you’ll see it updated on your phone. This is pretty similar to what companies like Xobni () and Meshin are doing, but it’s built-in at the OS level.

We don’t have a webOS 2.0 device in our hands, but our friends at PreCentral have a pretty exhaustive review of the new update and they seem pretty impressed.

We’ve always been fans of webOS as an operating system. The problem has been inspiring developer interest in the platform and making sure the hardware is both powerful enough to run the OS and well-made enough not to break or be unreliable.

WebOS 2.0 seems to have a lot going for it, but as I noted on the “Briefly Awesome” podcast last week, it seems prime for a tablet device. That’s where we want to see webOS, and where we think it has its best shot of being an inviting platform for application developers and users.

What do you think of the looks and featureset of webOS 2.0? Is this enough to help HP gain some momentum in the mobile device space?
