    How to export contacts (backup) on an S10+

    I use BlackBerry Contacts file on my phone. I used to be able to just plug this phone in to my laptop and export the contacts as a .vcf file. But now when I try, it wants to save as file:///storage/emulated/0/00001.vcf and when it finishes, I get a notification at the top that it "openfailed...

    need to remove photos from New work phone

    Hi. So if I create a new Gmail account, can I just delete the photos app off the work phone without having to do a reset? I don't want to totally do a reset as my company IT guys will not be impressed with having to reset up my phone for me over photos. I checked my Gallery app and it...

    need to remove photos from New work phone

    I have an S21 Ultra for a work phone. It synced all info from my personal S10+ including photos. I do not want the photos on this work phone. I toggled off the "sync" on photos on the work phone. However, if I delete a photo off the work phone (even with sync off) it deletes the photo from my...

    trying to decide in the S20 or S21 Series

    I have an S10+ and have no issues. My new company will provide a new phone - anything I want within reason. I am interested in the S20+ because of the microSD card. I haven't decided if I will carry two phones - my personal and work, or one phone and use dual SIM cards so I have my personal and...

    finger print sensor not working after recent update

    I removed my fingerprints and am trying to reinstall them. I get so far and then get a "make sure your finger covers the entire sensor." Well, I am. But it will not go any farther in the process. Any ideas on what to do?

    Problem with getting a calendar event in my BlackBerry calendar...

    Hi. I used to be able to book a hotel or flight and once the details were emailed to me from TripIt, I could forward it and the details would go right into my BlackBerry calendar. Now it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have suggestions on a different app that would work?

    Notifications for favorites to always ring whether in "do not disturb" or not?

    Thank you, mustang7757. I discovered another issue: my Bixby routine had specific values input such as 0% on sounds, notifications, etc. So I deleted it and changed the routine to say "Do Not Disturb" so that should actually utilize the dnd exceptions and all that I have already set up. I may...

    Notifications for favorites to always ring whether in "do not disturb" or not?

    Hi dpomerance: good advice. I went into those settings and dnd was turned off. When I turned it back on my favorites are now an exception. I have no idea how that got turned off. Thanks for the tip!

    So you need another app? Is there a dnd that you recommend? Looks like there are several out there. Thanks again.

    Notifications for favorites to always ring whether in "do not disturb" or not?

    I thought there was some kind of setting that you could set up that if you marked a phone number or contact as a "favorite" , then even if you were in "do not disturb " mode, their call or notification would come through. I found out tonight, this is not the case on my phone. My bedtime Bixby...
