BlackBerry smartphones can not create new contacts or modify existing contacts in my phone book / address book

I get this message every time I try to access the 'New Contact' option on my blackberry curve 8520

"Application net_rim_bb_addressbook_app (255)"... which seems to cause this problem and how can I fix this problem? I can't add new contacts, nor can I change existing contacts! Help, please! I tried to remove the battery while the phone is turned on, something I could do?

Please remove Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo! Messenger for now until a new update was released because one of these apps version recently update is causing the problem for most OS5 phones...

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not create email account

    Hi, I'm new here (and Blackberry) and need help.

    I got a used Blackberry 8330 curve and can not create a new e-mail account.  This is the message I get:

    'An account already exists for this Blackberry device.  Please login or contact your wireless service provider. »

    If I scroll down and press ok, it asks the PIN/EIN number, which I have input.  Received the same message.

    How can I clear it so I can add the email?  The main purpose to get the BB was to use it to access my work email...

    Thanks in advance for any help on this.

    Dorian

    Thank you, thank you!  I used your links, called Verizon and cleaned it up!  I have now all accounts added (including my work) that I wanted, and we have updated my software as well.  Everything works as it should. (I no longer do not get the 'other guys' messages as well!).

    You are a star!

    Thanks for helping a newbie!

    I tried to restart the removing the battery for a minute and reboot, but always with the same problem.

    Also, I figured out that when synchronize my bb with Desktop Manager, the address book is not sync that it says (address book not installed) and this is why I can't drag contacts to reinstall the info because I don't have to return to the top of the address book

    Please I need help with this question

    Thank you

    While there is no limit on how many contacts you can have on your device, there is a soft limit that you can have as many times as the memory of your device can handle. Check the available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If this isn't the case, then consider cleaning out / uninstallation of some things that you don't need to increase the memory available to more contacts.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not send new text of the messages folder

    I have a Bold 9650.  I have, unfortunately, updated for the new OS and now I am unable to send texts from the news of my Messages folder.  I can send an email and response to text, but when I open the menu and click on 'Another new message' there is nothing there.  It's a dead link.  I have to go in my contacts folder, compose and send text, then close to everything in my Contacts folder.  Is this a bug or something put in place bad?

    This new OS is horrible.  He got all these bells and whistles, with none of the previous operating system usability.

    Don't give up quite yet, Stacie.

    OS 6 is a solid operating system with many advantages over the OS 5.  If you have recently upgraded to it, your phone can not be used to it and she can act a little.  This is normal and with a few tweaks here and there, we can get it just how you want.

    A battery pull will probably solve this problem.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.  Return to your Messages folder and see if the option appears.

    If Yes... Yay!  If not... let know us and we will try something else.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not install new applications after upgrade to version 5

    Since I downloaded something like "Blackberry OS version 5" on the web and updated my device using the Desktop Manager, I was able to download new applications.

    I managed to get the BBM on - the phone would have been useless if not - but no more applications will be downloaded.

    Everything seems to work, if I download via the web, or use the Desktop Manager to install applications, there are no mistakes and he said it worked - but there is no icon of the application in a folder.

    For example, BB app world: says Office Manager installed, but it is not accessible, because there is no icon anywhere.

    My carrier say they can not me more help because it is a question of device.

    I got "view all", as well as the icons are certainly not hidden.

    I've tried dozens of times battery pull.

    I tried a backup using Desktop Manager, then factory reset the device, and then restored - several times.

    I tried to uninstall applications through Desktop Manager and install them again.

    I don't understand what the settings are meant to be changed after I do a factory reset and restore from a backup.

    Carrier: Orange

    Device: 8900

    Platform: 4.3.0.23

    App version: 5.0.0.90 (91)

    File: 113507146

    Is it possible version 5 does not work with Orange?

    After the "Orange UK" link on this page, I see Orange lists v5 for download: http://blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads

    What is the link between these things:

    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/How_do_I_downgrade_the_OS_on_my_BlackBerry%3F

    * office for PC Manager software

    * the platform as shown on the device

    * the version of the application as indicated on the device

    I just updated to Version 5, tonight and had the same problem.  I went to the BB mobile site and there is an upgrade to AppWorld available - Version 2.0.0.36 once I downloaded, installed and rebooted, the icon was back and working.  Hope that helps!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not remove stubborn contacts on my Blackberry

    Hello - I just got a new Blackberry - converted during a Treo (Windows). I had all sorts of difficulties to get my contacts and calendar first moved on my Mac and moves in sync with the Mac issues, so now I'm using Blackberry Desktop on a PC with Outlook. My problem is that I deleted the database of addresses using the backup/restore function so that I could start with a clean address book import, and I have about 20 contacts on my pocket computer that I can't get rid of. I tried the process several times. I can highlight in the address book and select 'Delete', but your handheld will just ignore the command. I can open the contact and modify it, but when I try to save it, I get a message that says "updated to the outside address. Changes will be lost and the viewer will be closed. »

    Is it possible to get rid of these addresses? I now duplicates for these addresses, because OUtlook does not recognize that they are already in my pocket.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Only other thing I can think is to wipe the device. If you want to make a backup of your device first, go to the backup and restore | Backup copy. Then, on the device, go to Options | Security options | Settings General, hit the menu button, choose wipe Handheld. This will clear all data from the device. Later, you can return to the backup and restore | Advanced to select certain databases to restore. If you just go in the restoration, and then he would probably bring back corrupted in the AddressBook entries.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not create my Blackberry ID

    Hello

    For the last 10 days I tried to create my ID Blackberry App World, but I still get the message: the password you entered does not respect the requirements of the length or character. Please enter a password that has a minimum of 6 characters.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can not create a BIS account - cause the PIN is already in use...

    Hello

    About 1 year ago, I bought a blackberry curve 8320 on ebay in Germany. Now, I wanted to register with the BIS (at Vodafone in Germay) he tells me that the phone (PIN) is already registered with the BIS. I tried to use the 'send password' link with my PIN code, but it didn't work out (the website says the password is sent successfully, but it does not reach my cell phone). Aftre I asked customer support for VOdafone and they said that the phone is not registered with Vodafone.

    Is there a chance to delete or change the old account on my PIN code? While I can sign up and get my own BIS?

    Thank you all in advance for the help!

    Welcome them

    Marc

    Call Vodafone and ask for help from the RIM. They can release the account (now that they may or may not, but that's another issue). Anyone else still essentially have this class as their PIN on their account. Its going to take some doing, but you can achieve.

  • BB 9700 blackBerry smartphones can not see the contact name as sms/mms

    Hi, just recently got the bold 9700 and i LUV IT!  Only I have a problem.

    I import all my contacts from outlook express and they all come out somehow on my blackberry contacts list.   Problem is that if I get a TEXT from someone, it shows the name of number and no contact even if I already have the contact on my list.  It's just a concern to watch who texts me all the time.  For example, number of friend is stored on my BB as + 1 (123) 456-7891. He sent me a sms/text and it shows it's on + 11234567891.  It's the same number, but my BB cannot identify it as a number of a known contact.  Sometimes, he would show (123) 456-7891. Someone please help me! as I have 100 + contacts and I don't want to set up each each contact on my list depending on how I get their number on my sms.

    You are welcome.

    Good luck.
