BlackBerry Smartphones newbie here needing a little help if poss

I have a BB Curve 8520 and dowbkoaded Facebook on it, everything seems to work fine except "Favorite places" whenever I try to use the part of Facebook places the message I get says "Support GPS your device does not support location-based services. To use Facebook places, an integrated location service of wirh device is required. "I have a few friends with the same phone and none of them has this problem. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Many thanks in advance, Debs x

The Curve 8520 has no GPS capabilities.  When you say that you and your friend have the same phone, which is perhaps not entirely accurate; the curve is available in different levels: 8520, 8530, 3G and there may be others I'm missing.

It's like another month now when the new OS 7 phones are released, if someone were to say, "I have a BlackBerry Torch", you could answer with, ' which one of the four torches do you own?

I hope that clears things up for you.

    I have a strange problem with my Blackberry "BOLD" 4 9900, sometimes when I receive or make a call, the phone is connected and I don't get 2 hear the person at the other end, and vice versa, the only solution for this is hard reboot the phone that is like taking the battery and have it pop back in and then things works very well and it's soething that happens daily is there a way to diferrent without restarting the phone and why it happens instead of 1 m, also I got the replacement of the device like the previous, it was cut and after investigation of blackberry, they gave me a new device. The version of the OS in the mine is 7.1.0.746 (2108), I was invited by the service 7.1 bundle downgrade and backup center 1646, which I am not ready to do what it takes forever and I have to reinstall all the software back and set up e-mail. What would you suggest?

    Also the latest BBM version which is 7.0.1.23 is installed, my phone that has WiFi but unlike previous versions where they had a backup and restore under backup management option that is no longer there, there at - it a way to get that back, I had uninstalled and reinstalled BBM but still does not work and the desktop software is not save BBM groups or pins?

    Well thank you for the steps of IMRT I'll take an impression outside until I do it just to be double sure and I installed restart me that works well but has 2 questions in my mind. Why my phone should behave mumb silent n when I get a phone call or have to do one and the is to run return is of restarting it.

    This happens usually when application runs in the background, or because of any unknown third-party application installed within our system, or due to lack of memory. Reboot to shoot some time A battery is enough to solve this problem. If press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will appear a screen that will display all the programs running in the background, usually five will always be there (host, BBM, Message, phone, browser) you can always check if any other applications. are running in the background, if they then close them properly.

    We should always try to close Applications correctly - avoid using key end to close the applications because it just minimizes the application and let it run in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select close or Exit to exit the application. Do not leave your browser open on a page of Web active when not in use. If programs are running in the background, that this will lead to problems that you are experiencing now. Please take a look at this Article, I don't know that it will help you overcome your problems:

  • BlackBerry smartphones, that I need help to transfer data from a 9870 "BOLD" for a Blackberry Curve 9300 Blackberry

    Hi, I have used a Bold 9870 for a few months now. I've been saving my camera on my computer periodically. Unfortunately, it has been exposed to water the weekend and unresponsive. I transferred my acct (by Sasktel) to the Blackberry curve of my son he no longer uses. (I'm drying my "BOLD" in a bag of rice and I hope that it will work again in the coming days?!).

    My question is did anyone know how I can get all my information backups "BOLD" (contacts, emails, texts, bbm surveys) and get only their transferred on the curve that I currently use. I feel completely lost without it!

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Woundenberg

    I thing your carrier have not activated BlackBerry data Plan aka BIS on your account. BIS is different from a data plan normal, a normal data plan you will navigate on the internet but will not give access to the BlackBerry application. So I prefer to give you a call to T-Mobile for re - confirm whether or not they had allocated BIS on your account.

    When BlackBerry data plans are enabled on your device, and then click Manage connections > Service status > = BlackBerry Internet Service it will be " Mobile network ".

    Then call T - Mobile and let us know about your updates.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Newbie needs help [STORM 9500]

    Hi people.
    I recently got a new BB Storm 9500 my plan of operator and now I'm learning how to customize him completely.
    Right now I'm having two problems.
    I can't update the software. I'm in the course of the new BlackBerry Desktop Software downloaded from the official website of BlacBerry but everytime I try I get the same message. An unexpected failure. It always happens when the software tries to access the ROM of the device.
    I changed and re-changed almost all the options of Setup in the software but I can't find the solution.
    Someone had this problem?

    Another problem I have is the financial problem.
    Here at the Brazil data plan is quite expensive. Without Wi - Fi on the device, it is very difficult work with internet on the mobile phone.
    So, find a trick to add to BlackBerry to access wi - fi networks?
    Or have a way to connect to an internet connection PC hollow?

    Thanks for help.

    Without more details, it will be difficult to determine what is happening with your upgrade, but if you follow the directions in this link below, which has the latest newest 9500 OS out, you should be good.

    http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-9500-series-discussion-storm/203092-latest-OS-9500-4-7-0-237...

    These guidelines do not use Desktop Manager, you will see.

    The 9500 has no WiFi, and even with WiFi, you would need your operator BlackBerry data plan to enable all the BlackBerry service has this push email RIM, browser, etc..

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Newbie needs help setting up email

    Hello world

    I've been the proud owner of a "BOLD" for about 48 hours now. This is my first Blackberry, so please bear with me.

    I need to set up my Yahoo email. I remember setting up front, but I deleted it as my allowance for the use of network (3 Australia) showed 2 MB roaming allowance, of which half was used in one day.

    I think that the e-mail message has been implemented via a browser page, but I can't go back to this page. The e-mail setup wizard seems to be to the establishment through BES which I did not. Does anyone know the address of the page?

    I also remember, when I chose the browser (not of Planet 3) I was taken in a BB page that showed several options of setting up various things. There were about 5 or 6 boxes grey listed above the other? Anyone also know the address of the page for this?

    Thanks for any help,

    Paul

    You also see a personal Email Setup on the device icon? If not try going into the Options | Advanced options | The host routing table. In this screen press press the button menu and choose to register now. See if you receive a message from check delivered to your device. Subsequently, reset the unit by removing the battery for 30 seconds. See if you have this icon now after restarting the device. If you still don't you can try setting up the account again on your carrier's Web site BIS to add return e-mail accounts?

    What options do you remember on this Web site? Try to go to mobile.blackberry.com on your browser and see if it's the page.
