BlackBerry smartphone Curve 8520 - multiple problems (youtube, instant messaging, the overall processing speed)

Hi all!

I grabbed by BB Curve 8520 just now and even if I like it, I am not completely satisfied with it. I use my BB on the carrier of Vodafone here in Germany, I have the newest OS installed (v4.6.1.286 (Platform 4.2.0.122)), at least the continuous update tool to tell me there is no update available for my device.

I have a number of problems with it, namely:
-When I watch videos on YouTube, my BB often ends the reading after precicely 01:18 minutes of reading, saying that the wireless connection has been disconnected. I can resume playback again immediately, but it is still very annoying.
-Playback quality on YouTube is sometimes poor. The image is blurry or distorted with previous keyframes (apparently, the media player lack sometimes keyframes). Also, when I look at mode full screen, and playback will stop for buffering, it does not return mode full screen automatically. I have to click on the menu button and click on "Fullscreen" twice.
-After receiving several messages on ICQ, the red light flashing, if I read the posts or not. I can only erase the LED of a single message and its reading.
-L' device is generally quite slow. It keeps stalling sometimes for a few seconds and is particularly slow when rendering of the sites a bit more complex. (The browser repeat me "Requesting the script", "execution script...'"). Sometimes I wait some minutes before I can start browsing a Web site.

I hope someone can help me with this, or at least tell me that those who are known issues that RIM are trying to fix.

Thank you very much!

From what you have posted here, you have not yet tried what I recommended above. With this process, you are free to use any carriers OS package. There is nothing about the use of a carriers OS package that locks your BB to them. If you use one that is not your 'home' carrier, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones e-mail synchronization - problems sending/reception of the BB and Hotmail emails

    Emails sent from the computer using Hotmail do not appear in the BlackBerry smartphone. However, e-mails sent using BlackBerry device appears in the device as well as in Hotmail and the same is true for all incoming mail. The only question is sent with mail from Hotmail, which items do not appear in the device. I tried options email reconciliation, but the problem persists.

    For your info, I use BlackBerry Torch 9800 and my ISP is Etisalat in the United Arab Emirates.

  • WiFi blackBerry Smartphones Curve 9300 3 problem

    Hi, I recently got my first Blackberry - a 9300 3.

    It seems impossible to connect to my home network via WiFi. I've implemented the BB with a manual setting that I have a non-broadcast SSID and password is correct. My router is a Netgear DG834GT. I have a laptop connected via WiFi so I don't know the router, WiFi & DSL is all operational.

    I can sporadically, but not systematically, ping the router of the BB, but I can't ping a web address (for example google.com). I can't ping the BB from my PC, but an IP Scanner confirms that the BB is on the network.

    My career has suggested a reboot, reinstall the firmware and turn WiFi off & on - everything I did.

    I'm very knowledgeable PC, reasonably network aware, but a complete newbie to BB and smartphones.

    Any ideas?

    Well, I've sorted - or rather Geek Squad pointed me the right direction.

    It seems that the phone does not like the standard security WPA - PSK Protocol. While the router is recognized, the phone cannot communicate through the router.

    Change the wireless security protocol on the router to WPA2-PSK has solved the problem. Of course, if you do this you must also change the Security Protocol on all your other devices on the wireless network, or else they may not work.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Curve 8520 last chance to enter the password or by telephone shall be cleaned.

    Before entering my password [number] I must have pressed the 'alt' key or other, and I was asked to enter 'blackberry' to continue. Then in the password bar, he said also that I had fivemore attempts. No luck.

    I gave to my daughter. No luck. Anway there is no more stars [astericks] I see what I'm typing. When I type my password number, letters come instead, and I can't get into my phone.

    Suggestions please only have one more to go.

    To see if I can get my contacts etc out of my sim card can I put the SIM in another phone, connect to the computer and save to file?

    Since the blackberry "BOLD" forum a similar case.

    Told off for five minutes and try again.

    My problem is why the letters when I am pressing the numbers? the 'alt' is stuck? Or what I have to press 'alt' before entering the Nim-sequence. It's already happened not and do not have to press alt to enter. I just regret touching another button like I was, or just before I entered my password numbers.

    Hi alggomas

    Don't know if you have already tried your last attempt, if your unit is asking for the password, you will need to enter the password that you set, if you have a mix of different characters in your password, I think that you are not able to enter properly on the keyboard for BlackBerry. For example, if your password

    • alggomas123
    • And if you enter a > l > g > g > o > m > a > s > alt > 1 > 2 > 3

    the result will be

    • alggomas1er
    • You must enter
    • a > l > g > g > o > m > a > s > alt > 1 > alt > 2 > alt > 3

    to get alggomas123 on your device. For example, while on the BlackBerry keyboard, you think you type alggomas123, you actually type alggomas1er

    All contacts are stored on our memory of the unit no SIM card, unless you have previously saved or copied these contacts on your SIM card. Also a reset will not delete the contacts stored on your SIM card.

    If you think that your alt key is locked, and then do a battery pull reboot by removing the battery while your unit is powered. A lock will be released after a restart battery pull.

    You must press the ALT key before entering these numbers. So please, take your time and make sure that you type on your device. If it fails, then if you have a previous backup of your device, or if you use BlackBerry protect then you can restore your data from these backups

    Good luck

  • Icon of the blackBerry smartphone Curve 8520 occupied more and more to come.

    My phone started trolling (busy icon). I do not have access to the internet other than linked to my hotmail account. Any ideas please?

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Best!

  • Smartphones Curve 8520 blackBerry started freezing

    Hello

    Can anyone help please.

    My Curve 8520 freezes on start up. What happened was that my facebook app froze after that I tried to disconnect so I decided to re - start the phone and now it freezes 3/4 s at the beginning.

    I tried to connect with my desktop software, it is recognized but does not completely connect so I can not connect with any of the function IE restore.

    I tried to make a safe re-start but it always sticks to the same point.

    If anyone can help I would really appreciate.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Try the following:

    Turn on your BlackBerry and your loading upto moving screen.

    Then plug in your device to the charger and let it idol at least 3-4hours.

    Sometimes BlackBerry OS takes time to repair automatically due to which your loading unit takes to go from the front of the loading of 3/4 bar.

    Please have patience, and it will be done.

    I hope that solves your problem!

  • MP3 of blackBerry on Curve 8520 Smartphones?

    Hi, I am a complete newbie to Blackberry devices. As I was intending to buy me a 8520 I looked through internet, information on the homepage of the Blackberry and wondering why there is no mention of mp3 files to listen to on the media player. I asked the technical support by e-mail twice, but they don't seem to take my question seriously and all simply not responded or referred me to an articlel knowledge base that does not concern the 8520. I think honestly a little disappointed and I'm getting me Alternatively a different smartphone until I found this place, hoping that someone is able and willing to answer my question as to if the BB 8520 can play mp3-songs.

    Thanks in advance, RREbi

    The Curve 8520 as with any new smartphone BlackBerry supports MP3 playback.

    The specifications indicated on the Curve 8520 page have been updated to account for this:

  • Buttons on Smartphones Curve 8520 blackBerry answers do not or do not do what they should

    Hi all!

    My sister has a Blackberry Curve 8520 to the age of 6 months.  She dropped it in water and it no longer works.  I dried (in rice) and bought a new battery for it that the old man has failed.

    The phone works and turns on.  However, whenever it is turned on, it displays the message ' eception exception: index 3 > = 3'.  To override what I have to press on enter on the keyboard.  This shows the main screen and all the links, news etc.  The trackball or 4 keys (power, call, etc.) do not respond when I try to press ok.  They all respond when the screen goes well.

    The volume button does not work, but the button to camera but I can't leave it by pressing return.  I have to remove the battery.

    In the journal of calls by pressing the 4 buttons, from left to right, shows Jk, yi, hl b nm.  Bring down that I have to take out the battery.

    If I try to get the IMEI number after you type the #, pressing on * # turns into 'Quo '.  Pressing SHIFT + a # after U, Alt + a = Q =.

    Is it fixable somehow?

    Thank you.

  • Card memory blackBerry Smartphones can help with problem memory curve?

    I had (apparently common on this forum) problems with memory on my blackberry curve 8310.  I use Missing Sync MarkSpace software to synchronize with my macbook.  The software works very well, but he has to use too much memory.  I added a memory card hoping that it would help this problem... but the map does not appear to be used.  I have no more than two or three rings and a few photos.  I think that the software and my contacts/calendar to take up space.  I can't load this kind of applications or data on the card?  How? Is it possible to increase the memory that works?

    No, you cannot load or run the press card applications.

  • Smartphones Curve 8520 blackBerry battery drain! Help, please!

    Hello world. I desperately need help. Until a week ago my bb curve worked very well. Then all of a sudden I couldn't send or receive MMS. I checked to make sure that nothing has changed with my service plan, and it was beautiful. Then, a few days ago, my battery started to drain quickly. I don't use internet on this subject, I use not all applications other than those basic, and I use only all day. It charges all night while I SLEEP, and then, at the point where I did with a 7-hour working day, the battery is dead. I just checked right now, not yet watched because I took it off the charger, 2 hours ago and its already lost a brick and a half. By reading some things on the internet it looks like apps fast battery drain. But since I do not use those, what would it be? I also wifi and blue tooth off the power, so it cannot be the ones. Looks like a coincidence little precise that my picture messages stop working, and now the battery is dying. Any help? The phone is only a few months, so this seems weird. And for reference, it's a curve 8520 and I use Tmobile. Thank you!!

    It's strange. Have you made a difficult start (removed the battery for a few minutes) to clear the memory? Sometimes things get hung up

    I use quite a few apps on my own and always close when I leave them, to keep them from power draining. Even with photos, music, Twitter and the Internet, I have to recharge every two or three days.

    Mabes, it seems to me that your phone has developed a problem, and you can return to your provider, expecially since it's so new.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Curve 8520 - back from repair - unlocked in the Pocket - forced threaded messaging

    Just another curve to replace my one broken and the operating system has been automatically updated. Here are my big two (of many) questions:

    -Silly - mute button

    I can't help but feel a phone unlocks as you put it in your Pocket is a bad design. Can I please have a way to stop or reassign the button mute? I almost always hit when pushing my phone in the Pocket.

    No, I don't want to put a password, as I would forget it, and no I don't want to pay for a big dopey look awkward case.

    I do not see why I we are not allowed to go back to unlock with star-appeal as previously.

    -Forced threaded Messaging.

    I never liked this option and not only that, but he started crapping already upward, and prevents me from show ALL messages from a person sometimes until I battery restart everything.

    Can I please have a way to go back to the thread of e-mail, to 'normal', or at least "half threaded? I don't like the look of MSN. Pure and simple.

    I HAD the oldest operating system before he fell, but there is no way to reduce the repair one.

    Hi, I recently had this software but I upgraded myself to my netbook, it would be easier and simpler, but I didn't like it. so I went down there myself once again, all you have to do...

    first step, you have the blackberry desktop software on your pc? If so click it and connect your phone to your pc by usb port. When you have done that it should connect you, if you have a password on your mobile phone for example go main menu type that in, otherwise, do not to worry the software you want to get off at is v4.6.1.314 click the device on the upper left corner, options of the device and must say update click that and it will tell the software that you have updated and one you updated since, if you click on the update of v4.6.1.314 that you had before, then press update, it will start automatically making the v4.6.1.314 version, do not take your mobile phone to any process. It could take up to 30 minutes. IV of hope has helped you!
