BlackBerry Smartphones new Curve 8320 with MTN (stupid) - so fraustrating

Bought myself a 8320 today

1.) my provider does not allow me to use my own e-mail client; but when asked at the point of purchase said we could. It is shocking and a very disappointing experience with Blackberry. [any available alternative work?]

2.) I decided to use gmail. the gmail app loads but does not - it cannot connect it is apparently a problem with the latest blackberry 4.6? [all known fixes for this]

(3.) I can't seem to change the default browser, or point to the homepage of the default browser of the predefined home page (my service provider). [no clue on how to do this one is supposed to be able to choose the browser]

4.) I can not remove the background of service providers from the phone - and I did not understand how to replace by something more pleasant (similar to the blackberry default background) [it is probably a mistake to BECKY as I'm not familiar enough with the phone to change the background still]

(5.) to a friend on mine told me to buy a blackberry in the United Kingdom and avoid stupid trouble generated by MTN.

6.) it seems no cards for the South Africa using Blackberry maps? So I tried google maps I used easily on my previous phone.

Great looking phone, really happy with the comments - shame about the approach by the service provider. Until I solved these problems I am stuck using my old Samsung to read mail using gmail and use gmaps.

Your comments have saved me some time and newbie inconvenience. GREEN entre-clavier-and-user problem. The only reason why I decided to go with gmail instead of using the convenience of the push service (the original rational behind getting the phone anyway) has been boredom of additional costs ($10 p/m) when combined with the service provider, forcing me to use the phone with specific parameters - the nature of the BIS service has not clarified for me that this practice was an extra cost and could not be established with another supplier of services separate from the cell phone provider itself was boring. Anyway, this phone is way from my old phone - just would have had a better experience of initialization.

  • Button blackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8320 unexpected behavior

    Hi community

    I now own a BB Curve 8320, which arrived March 7 th 2010 with OS v4.2.

    Having previously & successfully upgraded the OS on my BB 8310 curve which has an expensive screen problem, I downloaded OS v4.5 for BB Curve 8320.

    I used this download: 8320EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel108_PL2.7.0.78_A4.5.0.81_Voda_Australia

    Everthing seems to work very well; the OS upgrade completed successfully and before & after reloading the data from Outlook I could access the menu via the Menu button & do what I needed.

    However, after some time of operation (i.e. on 1 or more hours), random unit see the menu when I press the Menu key and I can't answer calls by pressing the Green Telephone button.

    Instead, this key and a few others will produce strange characters (e.g., Yi) in applications that can accept text, or does nothing.

    I tried to help me with this problem by making a following and after:

    Battery grips.
    Hold the alt key, then press and hold SHIFT to the right, then press DELETE.
    Reload the OS after the failure with JL_Cmder v1.9.1

    I have read on this forum or on crackberry that I should consider the moisture under the keyboard and then proceeds to remove the battery and SIM and SD card then proceeds to the hair dryer the unit for a short period.

    RESULT = everything works again for a short while (a few hours), then it will repeat the above behavior.

    I'm a bit there is a simple fix of BB Curve 8320 or setting changes that I'm missing.

    The 8310 has been solid on the performance... and honestly that miss me.

    Please put me out of my misery.

    Who is blessed,

    Hello community,

    After trying my own idea and add some silica GEL for the bowl to rice taking into my BB Curve 8320 & leaving for 2 days, I took out the camera fed up and had a brainwave.

    I occurred to me that since this routine 'your BB dry' had not given a complete solution, while it was time to open the unit and correct what was going on inside.

    So... on March 15, I found a local repair shop, said the problem, as well as to what this forum (thanks JSanders) suggest that he was wrong and ignored the diagnostic charge.

    Finally, there is some minor corrosion under the keyboard, which he corrected and cleaned up.
    I asked the tech if I took the phone to him at the time, and he said yes, that I didn't have to worry.

    So now, I have a BB Curve 8320 with interchangeable spare parts of my BB Curve 8310.

    CONCLUSION.

    I think that rice and the desiccant, drying methods are best used to DELAY the progression of moisture damage.

    However, if this does not solve the problem... then you must go into the unit. (i.e. you or a tech)

    Don't get too long..time is essential due to the miniaturization of circuit traces are very small and corrosion can quickly make the device unusable.

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new BB 8520 with OS V.4.6.1.259

    I bought this 8520 store two days of local Tmobile and was assured that it was most recent OS, but there V4.6.1.259 and reading some of the post on the forum that is not current.

    Should I take it back and get a new one?  Can what problems I expect with the old operating system.

    Hello

    Each carrier is responsible for the release and support only the OS levels they elect. They are not required to accept any level of BONE which may be free of the RIM. So, what we said, may well be true that TM is concerned. Another carrier may be another level of the OS. You can check various carriers through this Portal:

    Regarding your last question, which is a difficult question. There are very few (if any) change logs to see what has been fixed in a particular version.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new country, new carrier... No new index of email account?

    Hello

    I just moved to the United States of the Canada and I have a new blackberry curve 8330 on Verizon that takes the place of my somewhat new curve 8320 Rogers.

    When I'm the new bb and the service, I created a new e-mail account @vzw.blackberry.net.

    I have everything set up and went through the process of 'Switch devices' through the Desktop Manager to push my contacts and data and other files. When it was over, my old e-mail address of @rogers.blackberry.net was (and still is, to my dismay) appears as an account on the new Verizon curve and the new address @vzw.blackberry.net is not found. When I log in the Verizon BIS, I can see the e-mail account, so I know that it is put in place. I also added pine and the MEID in the box 'Change device' to make sure that it has been set correctly. Finally, I removed the battery, waited a few minutes and then put again to force a hard reboot. No dice.

    What Miss me? Suggestions?

  • Smartphones blackBerry sync Blackberry Curve 8320 with Outlook 2007 problems

    Hi all. I have a problem which seems to be somewhat common. I did some don't research through the messages, but so far no luck.

    I just got my Curve 8320 and I installed Desktop Manager 4.5 that accompanies it. At work, the calendar, I want to use is in Outlook 2007. It is a work schedule, but this isn't a working phone. Anyway, it wouldn't work at all, but I changed one of the options on the phone (based on a comment here) 'Facebook' for the other option (my personal e-mail, not associated with work or Outlook 2007, but that was my only other choice).

    Then he started pulling files from Outlook to the phone, but about to halfway through it gives me this error in a window called 'Intellisync': 'operation complete unexpectedly.'

    I can't go further than that. Any ideas?

    Morning.

    We will try this.  Read this thread.  You probably have a corrupt file somewhere in your calendar.

Let then open iCal and select file > export > iCal Archive and click Save to place them on the desktop as well.

Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your smart phone BlackBerry for Mac.

    After the device is recognized and connected, you will have to configure synchronization settings.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones New Blackberry Curve 8520 - configuration of e-mail and network problems

    Hello! My friend bought a new Blackberry Curve 8520. It is based in South Africa. She is facing 2 problems: 1. in the corner right gprs/edge is displayed in small fonts, and she is not able to use the inernet for applications. The phone was for 30 hours, and he still has not changed. 2.

I made a move on the phone and also reset, but the problem persists.

    You have to, to get the push RIM email functions you are looking for, as well as services of BlackBerry data such as the Web browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger and much more.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can not connect with BlackBerry servewr

    Today, for the first time, my Curve 9300 unable to connect with the e-mail server. I do not receive my mails and can not delete and enter setup new email accounts.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • 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.
