Third-party application control
About permissions for third-party applications
You can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry® device interact with the other
applications on your device. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can access data or the Internet,
make calls, or use Bluetooth® connections.
If you have added third-party applications to your device, your device is designed to prevent these applications from sending or
receiving data without your knowledge. Before a third-party application sends or receives data, a dialog box prompts you to
accept or deny the connection request. For a selected application, you can turn off this prompt for a specific location or
resource.
Reset connection permissions for third-party applications
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Device > Application Management.
3. Press the
key > Edit Default Permissions.
4. Press the key > Reset All Firewall Prompts.
5. Press the key > Apply Defaults to All.
About direct Internet connections for third-party applications
Some third-party applications that you add to your BlackBerry® device might require a direct TCP or HTTP connection to the
Internet. For example, a stock price application might need to connect to the Internet to retrieve the latest stock prices. You
might have to set the APN that the third-party application uses for this connection.
Set up a direct Internet connection for a third-party application
To get the user name and password for the APN, contact your wireless service provider.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Device > Advanced System Settings > TCP IP.
3. Type the APN information.
4. Press the
key > Save.
Turn on safe mode
When you start your BlackBerry® device, you can turn on safe mode to prevent third-party applications from running
automatically. This safe mode enables you to troubleshoot or remove any unwanted applications.
