• 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.

  I suggest you go through BlackBerry 101 and 101 Crackberry to help your learn faster. Here are the links:

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8330 camera indicators survey

  My Blackberry Curve 8330: there are "200 +" on the lower left side of the screen of the device. With the occasional ' 200 +!  Can someone tell me what this means? Any help is appreciated to gratly.

  -HE'S

  Welcme to Frums!

  I found this on another forum. I quote from it.

  "The camera Help file says. In the device, if the viewfinder does not occupy the full screen, the approximate number of pictures that you can save appears in the lower left corner of the screen

  Its how many photos you can take. The card just shows 200 + until it becomes weak and it may contain only less than 200.

  BB 8300 can hold about 30. You can test they buy going to your cameras settings and change the photos of store definition from on multimedia card in the device memory. "

• BlackBerry smartphones loss Curve 8330 to appts during the synchronization of calendar Outlook via Desktop Manager 4.5

  Whenever I sync my calendar here are some nominations (and/or changes of the appt) on my BB that do not move to Outlook and Outlook that do not move in my BB calendar.  It doesn't seem to be a model for those who don't synchronize.

  I use:

  Outlook 2002 SP3

  Desktop Manager 4.5

  BB Curve 8330

  MS Windows Prof 5.1 SP

  I tried:

  -disable filters

  -Rotation of the filters (to limit the number of items that are above)

  -Closing on the calendar (to remove items older than 30 days)

  -re-sync-ing

  -Re-install Desktop Manager

  All other synchronizations (tasks, notes, address book) seem to work well.

  Any ideas?

  Check out the thread entitled "synchronization with Outlook delete old calendar entries.  Good information in there (2nd page) on how to to clear the calendar on the device.  Seemed to work for them...

• BlackBerry Smartphones new Curve 8330 and charge the battery/question already?

  Hi all

  I just got a new Curve 8330 last week.  I noticed that it takes ages to completely charge the phone when the battery only about 40%.  The other day it took about 5 hours to get to 100%, I use the power supply provided and also tried the USB cable with the software already installed.

  Tonight, it's about 60 percent, and I decided to load it.  After 3 hours or more, he went up to 45, then 40% and I was not still use it.  Battery icon is there (the icon of the card) then he recognizes it is connected.  I did the battery pull and wait another hour, another 40%.  Then another battery pull and still 40% after an hour.

  I came on this forum and saw the mention of the app QuickPull.  Downloaded it, ran it, and after it restarted, it had fallen to 5%!  Now, it says "low battery" and I do not really understand why.

  Until I started typing this post, I made an another battery pull and abandoned the USB plug.  It is now back up to 15%.  I am really hesitant to reach a store because the last time I brought my LG phone on a known battery problem (getting bulgy where you can spin) and they winded in my entire phone replacement

  Please let me know what I'd do here.  Is this a battery problem, phone licensing, etc.?  What my expectations are on acquire it quickly back to 100%?  I do not drain the battery that much.  It took two days so he can go down to 60%, but I do not understand why it takes so long to load and then it seems to perform when I plug.

  Thanks for your time.  I know this is a long post.  My battery is now 20%?  So he went from 5 to 20% in less than half an hour so confused.

  If you had access to another battery and/or charger, I suggest that you try to change one and if it does not, another permutation. You will have to perhaps just take the phone back, but if I were you, I would make them give me a new battery and charger, just to be safe, because it looks like one or the other may be bad.

• Director of office of blackBerry Smartphones and Curve 8330

  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:

  How do I delete e-mail messages and text file - I can only delete message by message, which is a bit tedious and now get plenty of inboxes!

  Hey JulieDi,

  Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.

  An option is to use the option remove first, highlight a date in your Messages folder, press the menu key and choose Delete before, this removes whatever it is before the date you have selected.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thank you.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8330 locked up

  
  

  Wahoo, after all, to remove the battery to destroy my whole phone and reload the operating system, I finally got fixed thanks to a very helpful post. I disassembled my phone and carefully lifted the membrane of white keyboard up to the last row of buttons. I cleaned the copper on the motherboard and the membrane discs very carefully with rubbing alcohol. Let it dry and then reassembled. Two of the disks had residue on them. The only thing I can think is that it was causing a hold button. It works like new now. YYYAYYYYYYYY!

• BlackBerry Curve 8330 Smartphones memory?

  General question... What is the capacity of the hard disk of the Curve 8330?  I can't find the specification anywhere, I was wondering how much data it can hold.  Appreciate any info you can share!

  Hello

  There is no hard drive on modern smartphones. It's a Flash drive.
  On the Curve 8330, the internal memory is written on spec for the Curve series page: 96 MB
  http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/devices/blackberrycurve8300/curve_specifications.jsp?Navid=H0, C221, S2

  memory internal, also known under the name of the memory of the device. It has these uses:

  • keep the BONES (can handle up to 40MB)
  • Ordinary things to work RAM
  • wear of all applications and their data
  • store multimedia files (bad idea)

  In addition, you have the 'memory card': a slot for a microSD card / microSDHC card. You can put a card as big as you want, but according to the version of your operating system, your device will see only a part of it. There is an article on the database of knowledge of the public about the limits. For a 4.2.2 the limit is 4 GB. For a 4.5, it is much much more.

• Smartphones blackBerry Desktop Manager / Curve 8330

  I can't connect the Curve 8330 to the Desktop Manager.  I have replaced the software three times, replaced the device itself, and replaced the USB cable.  In addition, holding an end of this forum, I removed and replaced the battery on the device when it is connected to the computer via a USB cable.  The symptoms are the same:

  The PIN code of the device appears for a second or two, then disappears from the port drop.  Try to locate the device on the USB from the drop-down list parameter only results in an error message "device not found".  My operating system is Windows XP. The inhabitants of tech at Verizon were useless. Help!

  A Dell tech Representative helped me solve the problem.  It was a conflict with another program in the startup routine of Windows (XP, all the stuff that takes over in the right-hand side of the taskbar at startup).  It turned out that the backup software from my hard drive - called, Bounceback professional - of external backup was interfering with the Desktop Manager software.   We test-fixed 1 start-up in safe mode.  Most of the start-up programs do not load in safe mode. This shows that the Fund Manager and the blackberry could talk to each other.  Then we went to the start menu, click Run and type in msconfig and press ENTER.  Which displays a screen of dialogue.  Click the Startup tab.  One by one, I've tested startup programs by disabling their (remove the check mark next to the list) until I found the conflict.  Then cousres I had to restart in normal mode.  When a dialogue box came to warn me that I had changes in settings, I selected the option to not warn me again at the next startup.  It works fine now.  Good luck.

• BlackBerry sync MS Outlook 2007 e-mail with Curve 8330 smartphones

  I am a rookie in Blackberry... Can someone explain please how to sync wireless my emails in MS Outlook 2007 office with my new Blackberry Curve 8330? I have the email all the settings and get very well on both devices, but if I delete an e-mail to one or the other, they are so inconsistent. Treo used to do this. What is Blackberry? I use a pop thanks e-mail account!

  Email reconciliation is not possible on a personal configuration of the BIS account.

  You can synchronize the address book, memos, calendar and tasks via USB > Desktop Manager.

  You need BES for the wireless.
