Post Your BBM On Android Problems Here

OMG!!! Just between Friday and this morning, I already had
85 bbm request; hope Android users are not planning to turn BBM to 2go?…lol!
I have had series of complain from Android users ever since BBM was made
available for Android and iphone device, some have been having issues with bbm
not displaying DP, slow loading etc. 

I personally opened this thread here to trash issues like
that out. Maybe you have been unable to install it on your Android phone or
tab, or it is slowing down your phone, or your are unable to send people friend
request on your Android BBM; whatever the issues maybe, please feel free to
post it here lets solve it together. I have seen Techno phantom A+ that works
perfectly with BBM and another same Techno Phantom A+ that BBM refuses. 
I don’t
know what yours may be, but I believe  I
can help proffer a  reasonable solution
to your misbehaving android device.
Drop your Android BBM problem let’s get it solved together.
Spread the love

    • I'll quickly show you how to root your techno D3
      REQUIREMENTS
      –>PC
      –>Internet connection
      –>Enable USB debugging ( Settings >Applications > Development > USB debugging).
      –>Make sure you have Adb installed or else download it here

      2.Download Eroot here

      3. Install the pdanet on your pc you will be prompted for device type choose ‘Other’. You will be asked to connect your Tecno d3 to the computer with USB debugging enabled as described above.

      4. Extract the ERoot file you downloaded above and run the eroot.exe file. Ensure you have working internet connectivity on your PC to enable eroot install about 11MB of additional data. Ignore the Chinese language displayed and wait for awhile, a root button will appear but if for any reason it does not appear, exit the Pda.Net application running on your system tray.

      5. once it detects Tecno D3 press
      root. in 10 secs you are rooted.
      Check your
      Tecno D3 homescreen you will find superuser.

    • If you are still having that dp problem, i'll suggest your redownload the bbm app again from play store. Perhaps their is an error in initial download.

  3. want to sell my very neat white galaxy s3 mini
    with BBM installed including charger, flip cover,
    USB cord and even d pack in IBADAN @ 35k call
    08063465671 or watsapp

    • Yes, via google sync app. This app is available for bb and Android. Just download it and follow every necessary instructions their to import your contacts to android phone.

  4. thanks prof it's working now that's the changing of the d.p but I have to try so many times before it changes

  5. Prof pls help, my sis Infinix BBM is displaying horizontally…she needs to turn her phone clockwisely every time. I have done reinstallation several times but all d same.

  6. What do you think is the problem, when I did a factory reset of my phone HTC sensation 4G and reinstall bbm, all my contact is gone and I thought all my contact should be intact with my bbid, also I was given another pin

    • OoOooo NooOOoo, sorry about that but ideally you are suppose to use Google snyc app to back up all your contact before factory reset. Factory reset automatically take your device back to Genesis no matter what what you've installed on it before. Since BBM is new to Android, any uninstallation performed will automatically change your bbm pin except for the future generation of Android phone that will be produce with bbm factory installed on them.

      This is what you will do should in case of next time, download google sync app and it will automatically back up all your contact on your samsung galaxy; even if you are changing to another android phone, your contact will still be intact. and make sure you safe all your future bbm contact on a secure place in order to avoid what just happened now. Sorry about that one more time.

    • Sorry pls my own issue is tjat I am using Xperia miro I downloaded bbm two times it's not responding it will be saying opening bbm and it won't open pls i need an urgent reply

  8. hello prof. After installing bbm on my android and decided to open it i got a reply saying no internet connection, connect using a wifi. I've already subscribed to an internet plan so am wondering why the error came up. pls what should i do?

  9. Hi, the check box next to ''agree to BBM terms of service'' is not available, so I can't pass that page. Pls help. I have also tried opening a new bbid account but I can't go further cos the check box is not there to check.

    • That's a minor issue man,
      What type of device are you using? i want you to totally unistall the previous one you've downloaded, and download another one from play store.

  11. Hi Prof Yemi.. I downloaded BBM on my Samsung galaxy Core 2days ago and up till now its still saying 'Unable to complete set up.. No network found.. Your connection to the wireLess network has been turned off' meanwhile I have a stable mtn network connection(its on H) I've tried everything from uninstalling to reinstalling to force stop to even turning on my wifi (Although I have no available network).. The only advice I've been getting is 'Patience', but I'm seriously running out of it.. Please is there anything else I can do?

    • Hello Lisa,
      Sorry for what you've been passing through. But before i suggest resonable solutions to you, let me ask you these:

      ==> What mtn plan are u using for this? Bis or normal data
      ==>Is your wifi turned on?

    • hello Lisa,
      i want to believe it's network problem. If you can lay hands on another carrier sim aside of mtn sim, try and subscribe for their daily mb which goes for #100, make sure you are on 3G. once it's done, lunch your bbm let's this time if it won't connect… otherwise, i look for an alternate solution to your device.

    • Prof, I am having the same problem as Lisa. I have downloaded the BBM app on my LG Optimus L7 but each time I try to open it, it gives the message "Unable to complete set, no connection found. Your connection to the wireless network is turned off. Restore your connection and try again". I am on the etisalat 500Mb plan and it shows H all the time. What can be done? Thanks.

  12. Okay.. I'm about to try it with my etisalat sim, but one more thing; the part where you say I should make sure it's on 3G is confusing me cos the only options I have here are 'GSM & WCDMA(Auto mode)'.. 'GSM only' and then 'WCDMA only'.. I'm currently on Auto mode with my MTN sim.. Should I leave it that way when I switch to the etisalat sim?

  13. Downloaded bbm since 8am and its still showing setting up bbm at 3pm..I use a tab 3..I'm confused o..pls help

    • @Anonymous, that looks so strange… Almost 6hrs..oops! Delete the one you downloaded and redownload it again. I beleive you are running Os 4. and above. Just redownload it again

  14. i have my HTC one SV but the check box for agreeing terms and conditions isnt working so am stuck there i dont know what to do will be glad if i get your response

    • to delete a bbm contact on your galaxy tab, just open your bbm, scroll down to the contact you want to delete >>>click on options and scroll down to delete.

    • Ella Nonso,
      Kindly accept my sincere apologies for not replying your messages all this while.

      Go to Settings > Apps >Manage apps and locate the BBM app. Tap on it and clear it data, force your bbm to close. You can then go back and resize your bbm, load another pics and see if their is any change.

      Go to play store and download this app or here

      It will automatically adjust your display pics to fit into your bbm.

  42. The same thing is happening to my WhatsApp. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app but now it's just showing connecting as my typed in my phone number. Am just tired of dis pone..

  43. Finally figured out wat's wrong with my pone. Apparently it was mybAPN settings. The WAP settings works for my browser,G+,gmail e.t.c while the internet settings works for my bbm and whats app. So I have to switch APN settings depending on what I have to do. So I don't need to throw away d pone after all. Thanks. Anyways.

    • I think you need to update your BBM to the latest one. Before you do that, go to settings>>Apps>>Scroll to bbm, clear your cache and data then reboot your device.

  45. i cant seem to find a BBM app thats compatible with my Tecno Phantom Pad N9

    i have been searching online for ages and all the download links i found via google are dead.

    someone please help.

  46. Hi Yomi, I use a Tecno C9 and first of all, it just started showing limited Connectivity. I waited q whole day because I've been using Snapchat and the Instagram without any of those problems at all. I tried deleting and downloading again but it even got worse,its not even opening. After 2 seconds of that circle going round, it says "oops, no internet connectivity" I started to think it was because I updated the bbm so I tried downloading the previous one I had but the problem is still there. Pls help

    • Hello Joy,
      Go to setttings>>Apps, Scroll down to where your bbm is located, open it and clear the cache and data, reboot your device and try to open it afresh,

      Let me know if it fix it.
