Two Blackberry questions
by Volker Weber
I am still scratching my head about two Blackberry features I have yet to understand:
- Depending on your profile settings you can let the Blackberry signal unread messages with a flashing LED. As a new message comes in the LED starts to flash. And then it turns of after a while. When does it do that, and can you customize this behaviour?
- Blackberry differentiates between messages and level 1 messages. It will let you assign different alerts to those two set of messages. However, how do you tell the Blackberry what makes a level 1 message? There must be a ruleset somewhere, but I have yet to find it.
Do you have any insights?

Hello Volker,
you can't set up the blink-time in any user-settings.
For the "Level 1"-messages: in the handheld by default is defined that PIN-messages are send as it.
Let me clarify:
I know how to setup level 1 messages for Blackberry Internet Service. I also know you can do this with the Desktop Redirector. But how do you do it in Domino/BES4 environment that is provisioned over the air without a desktop client? I tried to set this in Messges/Options/Message Filters to no avail.
if you can cannot set the time the handheld flashes the LED, can you tell me how long it is flashing it?
For Domino/BES4 -- To set a LEVEL 1 with filters, highlight the message in the inbox, then click the wheel and choose either 'filter sender' or 'filter subject'. Then in the filter, give it a name, make sure action is 'Forward', then check the box for 'Forward with Level 1 Notification'. Then save your filter.
Now the small print... ...that *usually* works for me. Sometimes it then takes a bit of playing with all my filters moving them up and down in the filter order to get them to work properly. Filters seem to be a little bit goofy sometimes.
