BlackBerry Curve 8310 unlocked smartphones and software update
If I update the OS on my Blackberry 8310 will it still be unlocked? It is marked as ATT but I use it with T-Mobile and T-Mobile does support not the 8310, so I'll have to install the update from att.
Welcome to the skully13 forums
No, the phone OS update should not affect your phone somehow. As a general rule, you can refresh using any carrier version as long as it's for the same phone model number. The only thing you need to do is delete the Vendor.xml file located in C:\Program Files\Common search in Motion\AppLoader before using Desktop Manager to do the update

Memory of blackBerry Curve 8310 for Smartphones
I want to add some memory on my phone but I see conflicting information as to what type to get. Can someone PLEASE suggest the correct type and size of my Curve 8310? I hope I can put a 8 GB card in but I have a feeling that's not going to fly
Thank you and I think that this place rocks!
Hello
as far as im aware, the 8310 can only support SD. next to this, to check your available on board memory, go to Options > status. It will show you your memory in bytes, divide this number by 1024, and then THIS number by 1024 to find your data available in MBs.
Note: This does not show the available media space map

BlackBerry Curve 8310 email smartphone icon question
The e-mail icon will not disappear on the screen. It shows that I have a single message. Well, I went and deleted all of the messages on my phone, but it still appears. Next to the messages on the screen it says (1 unread). Anyone have any ideas.
Tips to clear the message unread... try them in the order.
If you have a new icon rogue Message on your home screen, or a negative number (-1), one of these solutions could erase or reset:
Try these options:
* Hard Reset BlackBerry by holding ALT CAP (right Shift key) and DEL (or removing and reinserting the battery)
Messages > saved Messages
Messages > view folders, check each folder (calls, SMS and MMS, and boxes, saved missed boxes, browser, phone logs etc.)
* Scroll at the top of the folder, on the title menu, click or tap to MARK PRIOR OPEN date
Change your theme and see if it persists and return to your desired theme. (Options > theme > select.)
* Clean and reload your OS.Good luck.

BlackBerry Smartphones update Blackberry Curve 8310 and lost all data
Help, please!
I received a text message that I needed to update my Blackberry Curve 8310 4.3 (I think). I went to my computer and connected to blackberry.com and did the update. The message then said that I had to update my Desktop Manager. I've done both. But she erased ALL my contacts and data. No emails and worse still no address. My screen is completely different. My Office Manager was not my old data.
It was a bad day, has laid off and now all my contacts are gone.
If someone knows a way to retrieve my contacts, I would be very grateful.
Hallelujah!
It worked! It's a good day, found the RPI buried on the disk and retrieved. I must somehow be saved from a month ago.
Thank you!!!

Music of blackBerry Smartphones with blackberry curve 8310
So I bought a used blackberry curve 8310 off ebay a few months but never changed any information that the previous owner had here other than my name and such. on the blackberry desktop manager, he still has his information, how can I update my phone to put music on it without losing all my contacts and information that I already put on here? If that makes sense
The SIM card is located under the battery, you will see a metal locking slider. The memory card is not the same as the SIM card. Make sure you align the contacts of the same side. Close the guide wire and reglissez in place.

BlackBerry Curve 8310 Smartphones: Blackberry internet services are blocked
I bought the curve 8310 unlocked phone, first week I am able to use internet services, but the 2nd week internet services are blocked, I contacted the service provide they said "this phone suspended by RIM" and has blocked my PIN code but they said IMEI number and PIN codes are valid. The salesman says this valid phone which is unlocked. My phone numbers IMEI and PIN code are
IMEI: #.
PIN: #.
Please let us know the problem and the possible solution.EDIT: Remove personal information
Hello and welcome to the Forums!
FYI - these forums are a chain of support to users, not a conduct of user-to-RIM. Frontline for BB is, contractually, not provided by RIM. Companies and authorized resellers are responsible for the front line of official support to end users. It is possible to bypass your carrier and request direct assistance from the RIM, but this generates costs, since you are without your support contract with your carrier. The "Support & Services" tab to the top of the forum pages provide information on this subject. But, if you go through your carrier for support, they can degenerate into RIM without cost to you if they choose to.
So, with all this, your line must stay with your carrier, so that they can worsen your case for you and find the answers you want without incurring costs to do. Don't forget to worsen after their initial support and up to their people to support BB... they generally have the best information that people from the front line.
Good luck!

Verification of drivers and software updates via tune
I have a HP 2000-350 (US) Notebook PC that is out of warranty. (Product no. QE279UA #ABA, Serial #[edited by Moderator serial number})
My problem is I went to the driver and software updates and scan from HP for updates and it did not work. After clicking on the link to verify the driver and software updates, it started working and then stopped. I don't have any comment. When I clicked on the button 'show solutions' I have nothing.
In particular, I looked for any update of the bios and see if all the drivers needed to be changed.
Went to HP support and of course got the "no ransom" story "no support" even if I had problems with their support driver free.
Any ideas on what is the problem? Solution?
Thank you
Sorry to say the Scan function still does not work. Best option is to choose your operating system using the selector drop-down list and manually check the drivers/software list.

Update of Smartphones from blackBerry Curve 8310
Hello. I realize that there are a lot of topics explaining OE to upgrade these smartphones. However, none of them address the issue I am experiencing.
I'm trying to upgrade Blackberry Curve my wife v4.2.2.181 (Platform 2.5.0.35) to the latest OS (v4.5.0.302).
It's an O2 handset unlocked running on Vodafone UK.
I run the Desktop v6 software. It recognizes the phone without problem, but will not accept that there is an upgrade available.
I downloaded the new OS and deleted the file vendor.xml without success.
The opening of the list of applications in the desktop software, it shows only three applications: Bloss (Status: mandatory); Bloss One Click (Status: mandatory); and Google Sync (Status: installed).
Screenshot:
I get the same list of apps in the app Loader program. I know that from my own phone (Curve 8320 which walking without probs) it should show the OS and various other softphone.
I would be grateful for any idea that anyone can give!
Hello
I advice you jump in front of Desktop software (with the exception of the backup/restore). From a PC, you can install any bundle of BONES to a BB via this procedure:
Note that although written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or recharge - it depends on the OS package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove, since any other devices OS BB as packages with more than one installed on the PC, your PC may result in conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

Good luck and let us know!

I got my new Blackberry Curve 8330 3 weeks red and I installed the BB Desktop Manager that comes with the CD called Blackberry user tools. Now when I click on "updates" on the lower part of the Desktop Manager, a popup window with all sorts of information that I don't know where to go first. My version of the op is a 4.3.0 xxx what is desktop software for? Is this software integrated with the Desktop Manager, or is it a separate thing?
Hope to hear from you beautiful peeople soon to explain this for me!
Not necessarily. I'm a tech person, so I'd rather have the latest greatest version of ang of the software I use. So if you are happy with 4.3 and it is not crashing or causing errors so feel free to continue using it.
You can always try 4.7 and if you don't like it uninstall and reinstall 4.3

BlackBerry Curve 8310 Smartphone: keys Glitching several
Hello
Just got a phone Curve 8310 used (which is updated to the latest version of OS - 4.5.0.55) and after using it only for two days, I'm starting to meet small, but annoying glitches.
The first is (was) really no reason, several hit started acting as they should not: BlackBerry button, T, Y and a few others did not do what they are supposed to do--they acted as capital Y and after that as Yi combination of letters, which was resolved just out of battery for a few minutes and then put it back in.
The second is still there and it seems to be here to stay - every time when I write letters W, E, R, U, O, P, it saves correctly, but just after that automatically performs a pop-up that offers you to send or close the message. Every time I press the back button-, it does not have a return, but rather written "Hl" message, lol.
This happens as a composer of Message (SMS), both in the software WhatsApp (or anywhere else where I can write).
So, I was wondering - what could cause these terrible key overflows? I mean, I did something specific with it - yesterday wrote a few SMS, some WhatsApp messages and there is no such problems. Any experiences with the settings or software.
Would it be cold outside (now forrest.) For about 5-6 hours per day to about-5, temperature of-15 C) or who should not cause these problems? What can I do to get rid of these problems?
Sorry for the bad English - if something is not clear, I will try to explain better
Edit: after some time looking for the forums, I found this forum thread where some users have found that it could be the reaction of condensation in the phone. If this could be true - is there a way to prevent the phone from getting wet or pick up condensation inside?
As I suspected, the problem was with the condensate in the phone. Put and battery removed my phone on hot heater for about 15-20 minutes to dry out and now everything works fine.
Just letting you know that (at least Curve 8310) is not really like the winters of the Baltic and North - same - 10 c outside could possibly spoil things. So, be careful!

Blackberry Curve 8320 unlocked blackBerry smartphones
Hello
I have not actually bought my Blackberry yet, but I'm looking into it right now. I want to buy a unlocked Blackberry Curve 8320 which was previously on AT & T or T-mobile (I'm a couple more different). Anyway, I wanted to buy a Blackberry and place it on a data plan with Rogers Canada. I'm doing this because I want to be able to use BBM, so I think I need a data plan.
I buy the Blackberry separately because I want to be able to use overseas when I use another GSM SIM card for example. I know doing it on contract is cheaper, but I don't want to do that because I will be locked on a 3 year contract and I won't be at the Canada for 3 years.
I just want to know if the Rogers data network will work with a Blackberry unlocked as I described above. I asked Rogers customer service and they said that they cannot confirm that the Rogers data network will be to 'connect' with the unlocked Blackberry because it once belonged to another provider and I should buy a Blackberry from Rogers. I don't know if they just said that if I would buy the Blackberry from Rogers rather than elsewhere. I know the unlocked Blackberry should work fine with a regular for calls and SMS GSM SIM card and all that but I want to know specifically about BBM - ing.
Sorry, my question is so long. Thanks a lot for your help!
While Canadian companies may be different from their American counterarts I do not that the differences are only significant to materially affect my response.
When you buy a 'new' locked onto a support device will be offered the device at a price at a price significantly lower than the retail price recommended for her. That's what prescribed contractual lock in as they recover for the duration of the contract, the difference between what you pay and the cost. They're subsidizing the price in order to collect a healthy monthly fees for access.
All U.S. carriers require a data plan for smartphones in addition to any general "plans" for just minutes and text packages etc. I guess that Canadian businesses require the same.
In order to use BBM you need a dataplan carriers which is what allows your device use the features of the BIS (Blackberry Internet service) requiring Blackberry data push, e-mail, all what is "data".
This is a new in the box device purchased by your friends at Rogers. They sold you a Blackberry and they dance as they listen to the registry will chaching. This is music to their ears. This is an item being sold and it is "locked" to Rogers. Of course, for each month of your servitude under contract happen to dance again once the Registry continues to provide them with more chaching.
You bought a camera from them, you can use it at this stage only with them. They will be as you might or might not be aware subject to various and assorted penalties if you tire of their service or their absence and take your business elsewhere, or try. Costs of early termination can easily exceed your initial cost plus for a premium, in a credit institution, violating laws governing wear.
It's what keeps dissatisfied customers even with the carriers that are less satisfactory. It is just too expensive to leave while allowing some, but not all carriers for you 'sell' the balance of your contract to another. If Rogers of permits that are unknown to me.
If you buy an "unlocked" device it is expected of the band is compatible with Rogers (GSM/CDMA as the case may be) perfectly capable to be activated on their network.
Their after-sales service is to use a euphemism, blowing smoke. They know perfectly well that a device unlocked regardless of its origin. They won't make you a device for which they do not receive rewarding chaching first and make run on their network. Since you did not pay a subsidized price for the device that you are not obliged to a three-year plan or some length Rogers requires for locked for new devices.
While they play stupid indeed hoping you will buy them and locked himself in a service contract. It's guaranteed money for thirty-six months. It's a lot of money.
Assuming you get to admit only a 8320 unlocked (GSM) will play well with their network that you can buy a phone, monthly data on the plan without being locked in a period of time.
You will absolutely need the dataplan however, at least the minimum plan they offer will prevent access to the services that make it a Blackberry.
Of major importance for you in as long as purchaser of a used instrument is the only one not is indeed "unlocked" but the PIN was released by the former owner and the access to its carrier, T-Mobile or AT & T. Every Blackberry is assigned a unique PIN that lives with her forever. For example, if I want to sell my unlocked Blackberry Storm I will have to make arrangements for the release of the Verizon PIN so that a subsequent purchaser can activate the storm on Verizon (my service provider) or such that it is unlocked any service provider, as it really is a universal device capable of activation on a CDMA/GSM/UMTS network or Global.
I would like to buy a used if and only if it is verifiable that the PIN was released by the previous owner/carrier. With the instrument in hand, it can be checked on the device or not it is unlocked. The output of the SPINDLE must be verified by the previous carrier and I'm too cynical, but I wouldn't take the word of the seller unless it was a very trustworthy family member and even then, I would like to politely ask for verification.
Rogers wants money on your part. They want the money upfront to sell you a Blackberry and they want the contract guaranteed money for the long term for the months down the line. For Rogers, it's win/win.
You can, even if it's an expensive to buy a new device of Rogers at the MSRP and not you will not lock in a three-year contract. The majority of carriers who does not advertise that the difference is more than lost long-term do not lock you in their.
I hope this helps. If I appear cynical, it's because I am. Carriers are there to increase their profits and integrity is lost in the maze.

BlackBerry Curve 8310 Smartphone: calendar (not installed)
