In this 3rd part of our BlackBerry Storm Users Guide we examine several more easy to implement BlackBerry device options that will greatly increase your satisfaction with your device.
Set A Background Picture
Are you sick and tired of the standard Blackberry background? Then change it by adding a background picture of your very own.
1. Launch the Media App
2. Open your Pictures folder
3. Choose a Picture
4. Once you’ve chosen the picture and it’s opened choose Menu and then Set As Home Screen Image
Once you’ve completed those steps your Blackberry Storm background will then display the picture you’ve chosen. I tend to try several pictures to see which ones still allow for an easy Blackberry display.
Turn Airplane Mode On And Off
Since you can’t use your Blackberry Storm when in flight here’s how you disable and enable your devices calling features by turning Airplane mode on and off.
1. On the Homescreen choose Manage Connections
2. Choose Turn All Connections Off or Restore Connections
Be aware that the Blackberry Storm uses the wording above and not “Airplane Mode” just so you can avoid any confusion.
