Blackberry helpful shortcuts:
ALT+Shift+H – Access Help ME! screen (status info etc.)
ALT+LGLG – Access Event Log
ALT+Right Shift+DEL – Soft Reset
You can change the display of the ‘signal strength’ on your screen to read in real numbers.
While at the home screen, hold down the ALT key while you type NMLL. The bars should change to numbers.
For the ‘signal strength’, if you are in the 100 area (that means -100 dBm), you will be transmitting at maximum power. Anything at -90 to -50 is a very good signal.
On top of the AutoText there are also some short codes for common device information that you can type into SMS or email messages that will return a value:
myver – Device Model/Version
mypin – Device PIN
LD – Local Date
LT – Local Time
Once you get the hang of it, using these shortcuts will make you much quicker on the draw and help your harness the full abilities of your device.
