    I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 for my curve. The installation went well, and after it backs up, the curve works correctly. I wonder, however, if the Desktop Manager saved e-mails, MMS and SMS messages in a file on my desktop that could be retrieved and read later if necessary. I heard this answered both ways so far: Yes it did, and no, it's not. No one knows what is the real answer?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Well, two answers could be correct according to what you were doing. If you performed the backup, and then he did. If you have not run the backup, then it does not. If you performed the backup, then a file with an extension of the RPI could be saved to your PC - search your entire hard drive for *.ipd and see what you find. To make a backup, follow these instructions:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520 (call and network problems)

    Hello

    Recently, my BB Curve 8520 got damaged by water & with immediate support from a local vendor, it got fixed.

    Just after 2 days, it has some issues of appeal & off-grid chess. To validate the question with the handset, I checked the SIM card even with other mobile & it worked perfectly.

    Now,.

    Should I go to an authorized service center to solve this problem?

    (If Yes, then please suggest a BB in Vadodara official service center.)

    OR

    Do we not have an easy solution?

    Thank you

    Hi shahi_kailash

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Check here and locate the authorized Service Center near you, service centers for the BlackBerry Smartphones in India . But FYI as much as I know they will fix all the water damage to devices.

    You can contact any local Mobile repair shop and see what they can offer. But more often in a water damage repair BlackBerry smartphone will cost a lot and you can't guarantee that it will work perfectly over a long period, you may experience the same problem right now or a new. So I think better to buy a new device or an opportunity instead of this unit damaged by the water.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520 email settings out of box

    Configuration of e-mail.

    I recently bought a blackberry Curve 8520 and am unlocked, I had problems with installation - in my email.

    I should go to implement. Configuration wizard, click on send Setup.

    And only makes its appearance in my device that says: I want to use a professional email with blackberry enterprise server account.

    The e-mail settings: add more envelope account is missing!

    I activated my 100% fine host routing table, but I can't set up a personal e-mail, a company one.

    What and how do I do with it. I am brand new in BB.

    Any help much appreciated, thanks!

    Note:

    Some wireless service providers and third-party equipment manufacturers have processes called master reset, factory resetor master clear, which erases all the data and parameters for devices user non-BlackBerry carriers, restoring their to a 'factory' or 'out of box' State. The clear Pocket command performs this function even on a BlackBerry smartphone:

    Maybe I do it by mistake!

    Do you have BIS (Blackberry Internet Service) active on your account rather than BES (Blackberry Enterprise Service) - BIS is the customer service that allows you to add up to 10 personal email accounts.

    If in doubt call your carrier.

    I have not apploader on my PC if this is helpful to all.

    If you have installed, your PC, the desktop software and/or a bundle of BONES for your BB, then you apploader. Reference:

    But, to start your diagnostic efforts, I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    If there is no Safe Mode, I suggest that you test to see if your battery is causal. Please try this sequence... Note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must be directly connected to a charger checked (not PC USB, not a docking station):

    1. With battery, connect your BB to the wall charger
    2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not
    3. Remove the battery
    4. Wait 15 minutes
    5. Insert the battery
    6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not

    This has been known to "revive" some BBs.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem. Carefully note please that 'new' and 'know' are not necessarily the same things. Although rare, a 'new' battery could certainly be defective. On the contrary, the easiest (and cheapest, btw) method to perform this test is to find someone with an identical BB which has no problem... trade in batteries and see what happens.

    Otherwise, then you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones blocking voice reading SMS

    I've recently updated my phone (Curve 9380) software and all messages incoming text (SMS) are read vocally and hard with a voice speaking in Italian with a British accent and mix the two languages. It's really annoying as this option, the value automatically by the software updated (this should not be so, but it's unfortunately), acts independently of any choice of audio profile. How can I remove it?

    Thanks in advance.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones capable of sending sms and mms picture BUT cannot receive MMS pictures.

    I am writing to my sister. She has a BB 8330... updated with the latest version of the software. Suddenly, we noticed that it is unable to recover photos by mms (she had previously). In fact, she is unable to retrieve an mms with only text. The message she received trying to extract an image is "could not retrieve the content of the message. Try again later. "It is spoken with support and they are confused and say they will come back to him. She is able to "send" mms text and mms to all images. And, of course, she has no problem with sms text messages. She tried "battery pull" several times. She is released all memory. It has a 8 GB memory (mass storage mode) with 6 GB free. His unit has 'Free file' 47732496 bytes. The only thing she has installed is "documents to go premium. A reflection on this subject or advice? Thank you!

    Tanzim thank you very much for your quick response.  No, phones who sent mms messages are an another BB 8330 and a Motorola razer.

    She contacted the 'Documents to go' people and they responded that she needed to download an older version and then she would be able to receive mms messages.  They have not themselves give instructions or links!  So, we wonder if she would like to download an older version... She would still have the premium version, she paid for.  I'll learn more and let you know.  The 'documents to go' people must have encountered this problem before.  Too bad, they don't tell people before they download it!

    Too, I have a BB 8330 Curve and love it.  My husband tells people that I have it in my face all the time!  Laughing out loud

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    To use the exclusive services of BB (including the ability to Push email, BBM, etc), you must have an adequate data of your carrier plan. Carriers BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) host for their BB users. In general, BIS is not available through generic data plans. Several ships make stop what is needed the Blackberry data plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier that delivers BIS users of BB- contact them for assistance. Once you have an email Push-enabled compatible BIS data plan on your BB (fees regardless of your carrier will charge, btw), your exclusive services BB will work (for example, you will have personal/Internet Email added to the email Setup Wizard, your BBM will work, etc.).

    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans it is impossible to say that any plan service could actually expressly provide for. Only carriers can answer this question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you want and then talk to your carrier about obtaining a data plan that allows what you want (to them).

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520: Too many files by directory?

    Hello

    I recently bought a 16 GB micro-SD card and formatted for my BlackBerry Curve 8520 but when I try to copy all the contents of my file music (about 2000 files) on the map, my BlackBerry tells me that the card contains a few errors and I need to reformat. However, it works when I put only a small amount of files on the card (for example, 50 music files). Is there a way to fix this? Should I divide my music in different folders or something?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones cannot SEND the SMS messages on 8130

    Here is my story:

    1. I've upgraded to a Blackberry Pearl 8130 pink in the beginning of the year.   My carrier is Verizon.

    2. recently (a month ago) a friend sent a text message to me of his new phone.  I tried to text back, but received a big big red X indicating that my message isn't getting through.  Specifically, when I opened my message, the error says, "State of the Mobile equipment has failed."

    3. I went to Verizon.  They did something where I think that they took me off the network and then get back on.  There is nothing.  She wanted to make a hard game on the phone, but I had not backed up my data again.

    4. I went home and my data backed up and returned to Verizone about a week later.  I spend more than an hour in the store.  The gentleman who helped me was on the phone with someone (no doubt technical support) nothing works.  He was ready to order me a phone replacement, but after further discussions with technical support, they thought there was a problem with the network, not my phone.  I went home with a case number.

    5. the next day same Verizon called.  They said it wasn't a network problem and it was my phone.  They would send me a replacement.

    6. I received my replacement phone a few days later.  I was anxious to get it set up, but the results were the same.  I have not yet returned to Verizon.  I thought I'd try everything here first see if anyone had any ideas.

    The bottom line:

    I CAN send/receive emails.

    CAN I send an MMS message.

    I CAN receive text Messages.

    I can't send SMS messages.

    Thanks for any advice you may have.

    -Sandra

    Tami,

    Thanks for the reply.  I happy to point out, however, that the problem has been resolved by Verizon!  It has never been my phone, that's why the replacement was a mute point.  Anyway, here is their answer (in case someone else has this problem):

    Sandra, we reviewed your account and coding in any of our servers.  We believe that we have found the problem and fixed it.  We ask that you update your PRL (preferred roaming list) by calling the * 228, option 2.  Once completed please test your ability to send text messages.

    I'm just glad that the problem has been resolved because my frustration was very high.

    Happy texting!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8330, keep or find another phone?

    When I bought my first BB Curve 8330, it was a few days after when I was told that I had to send it back and get a new one because of defects.  I came to know and love my 8330 until the trackball stopped working a few days back.  Now, it is the second BB Curve 8330 after only 1 1/2 months.  After Service of Sprint working on the trackball, they said I was approved for a new replacement phone, or keep my current phone and see what happens with the trackball?  Of course, I decided to trade once more my current phone for a new because obviously something is wrong with my current phone or they wouldn't swap a new.

    Question; What is the standard?  This is common with the BlackBerry Curve 8330 or total BlackBerry?  Should I start thinking about making another smart phone instead of an another BlackBerry Curve 8330?  My phone works very well with my work email and the telephone directory.  Any suggestions or advice from the pros out there?  I was told to come back tomorrow August 07 after 15:00 to pick up a new because they are "back ordered and in stock?"  Is there a known flaw on the BB Curve 8330, I don't know.  I'd appreciate your comments and advice...

    Pchmike,

    IMHO, I think that you should definitely keep your phone. While your experience with a bad phone is not the standard, any new device requires patience until the settings are completed, and learn you all the functions of the phone. Your experience with a stuck ring is an example of normal 'glitches that may occur when you start to exercise any kind of device.

    Stick to these forums and it will help reduce your frustrations. I learned so much and so fast, it is the best basis of knowledge I've seen. The people on this site will go further to help, especially because we've been there.
