How to remove uninstalled App in Blackberry App World

When you uninstall an app from BlackBerry AppWorld, the particular app will fall into Uninstalled/Archive category in My world. Although it provides the fastest way to get it back if needed. The problem is, the uninstalled apps still show up in My World. And also the uninstalled apps will be getting more from time to time if you keep on installing and uninstalling new apps.

There is a simple fix to remove those uninstall app in My World. Just open BlackBerry AppWorld, hold down the "ALT" key while typing the letters “RST”. If you successful, BlackBerry AppWorld will exit automatically. You need to re-open back BlackBerry AppWorld and those uninstalled app will disappear now.

Please take note above method is not apply to BlackBerry AppWorld 2.0 or above. In BlackBerry AppWorld 2.0, the app list will forever contain all apps that you have ever installed, whether free or paid. It will grouped by installed or uninstalled apps. Furthermore, each group can be collapsed, so you don't actually have to see your uninstalled apps at all.

Blackberry messenger

Most BB users should know BlackBerry Messenger has added “BBM Group” feature since version 5 onward. This is a great feature allow you to join a group (Max is 30 people) for group chat. Of course you will meet more friends in the group chat.

The disadvantage is the more group you join (while people are aggressively chatting in the group), there will be many messages push into your BlackBerry phone. And notification sounds are non-stop ringing in you BlackBerry phone too.

Actually there is a way to disable a group notification and I found not many people know how to disable it. Here I share the secret. Go to BBM Group, press menu button, then select “Group details”. Below screen will appear.



Scroll down to the bottom part. Change the setting “Turn Off All Notifications For This Group” to YES.
