• BlackBerry smartphones don't Smart not so storm

  I'm at my wit's end. Extremely frustrated new user of blackberry. My phone is ex-US storm 9530. I have the dreaded "app error 523 Reset"... I took the South African Vodacom phone and they don't take because the number of IME is not compatible with their system. I went to repair shops and they can't solve the problem. I tried the instructions on site and forums of blackberry without success. I even downloaded the OS on my PC and tried to solve the problem without success. The seller in Cape Town has not responded to my SOS. I have no one else to turn to. What I have now is a dead piece of fancy equipment that I have spent a fortune on my scholarship and I used for a month only 3 or pleased...! Was there a problem with the storm series that someone is not talking? I bought with enthusiasm the BBerry starting to regret.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  For reference, see this KB:

  KB24395 "Error 523", "App Error 523", or "JVM 523" is displayed on the BlackBerry smartphone

  You seem to have done the efforts recommended, but your post, I can determine just what happened when you were looking for support from your service provider. However, I can't say any of this:

  You see, "without success" says virtually nothing. The download was successful? Failed installation on your PC? How did the installation of your BB? "Without success" only let me guess... which is not a good use of your time. Please detail exactly what you done with that part of your appeal tent, as well as the results of each step of the process that you followed. Details. Completeness. You must be very complete as it has several possible paths, you could follow... I not only need to know which way you used, but the results of each step you take along this path.

  Thank you.

• BlackBerry Smartphones after International travel, cannot cross GSM network only WiFi internet

  I live in Germany and recently went to the Netherlands. When I crossed the border, Vodafone made me cut my data services due to roaming, which I did.  When I went back in Germany and handed over running my data services, I now can't get internet access (browsing and e-mail) when I am connected to my network domestic wi - fi.  As soon as I get out of my house, I can't access e-mail or internet on GSM network.  Texting still works like the phone feature.    I hope there is a change in the fast configuration I can do, but so far, all indications are that it connects to the network vodafone.de, so I think it's a setting on the phone rather than a network problem.

  I get the error message is "the network is currently unavailable...". »

  My details:

  BB Curve 8520

  V5.0.01036

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

  (1) registry HRT

  • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network

  (2) remove and return Service directories

  • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
  • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

  (3) restart to take batt

  • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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 this isn't the case, then you should contact your provider of wireless services for formal support.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphone brand new Blackbury user. lot of questions

  Hello.

  I just got the Blackberry curve 8330 yesterday.  I understood a lot about using the guides and reading the posts on here but I have a few questions, some may be stupid.  I hope that I don't ' have too much for you guys... lol

  (1) for the loading and the phone is or off.  Is there a way to do beep or something.  I hate watching to see if the light is flashing, or hit the screen when turned on to see if the loading icon bit has disappeared.   I know I'm picky about a few things... lol

  (2) where, in the call logs.  Is there a way to delete more than one message or text at a time.  Sometimes I'm lazy and don't ' delete them as they arrive or I emailed them but wait.  My old phone (nothing as fancy as a blackberry) you can select an option to delete everything.

  (3) the speaker.  how far do you have to have the phone away from you and ask the person to hear you again? (says they could be stupid questions... lol)

  (4) is it OK to keep the card media permanently.  I mean how do you know when you want to shoot a video or more pictures, then it may take?

  OK, I think that's all for the moment... lol

  Jenn

  (1) no way to have a beep when the BlackBerry is responsible. And its going good to load it when its on.

  (2) to messages, press ALT + P. This allows to display phone calls. You can delete multiple at once here entries.

  (3) I guess it depends on how hard you're talking about.

  (4) Yes its okay to leave the card in all the time. I never leave my memory card.

• BlackBerry Smartphones how can I STOP the storm looking for new e-mail messages?

  I've had the storm for a few days now, and it's my first BB, so maybe it's why it looks like such a simple question.

  Here's the question: I created 3 accounts on the storm, and they work fine. However, when I'm at work or at home in front of a computer (which is most of the time) I am not interested in having the choice of the storm to the top of every email that I receive because I'm reading them on the computer and then I have to delete them on the storm. I would like to be able to check your email on the storm only when I want, but I can't seem to find the setting that will allow for this.

  A little help, please!

  Thanks in advance,

  -M.

  I have a similar situation as you and there is a way to stop the emails any time. Go to the full menu and open the installation folder. Open here the e-mail configuration. Your email accounts will appear in the upper part. Highlight the one you want to temporarily stop and pop the menu and select filters. There are two options. Foward messages on device and do not forward messages. Do not transfer the right choice. They then record at the bottom. You can create a shortcut on the home screen moving the installation of e-mail folder if you can access this option quickly on a daily basis.

  I hope this helps.

• BlackBerry smartphones I need help with my storm

  Help! so far, I love my storm but for some reason, every once in awhile I get this little tiny menu when I press the menu button to say... save a ringtone. How can I disable this annoying thing... Thanks for any help you can give

  OH!

  You simply press the Menu button too long. A simple pressure to activate the correct menu.

  A two second press on the Menu button will activate the Application menu switcher Ribbon of ALL active applications running.

  Don't make long press!

• BlackBerry smartphones, I thought it was resolved, but eh, I still have no memory on my Storm!

  Please help me, someone... I can't understand this...

  Hello

  I tried to take a few pictures with my storm last night when I was at a party and when I tried to do, I got an error message.

  I can't show you a picture, you cannot add attachments, but the error message reads:

  (letter i icon) File system error

  (the folder icon) / Device memory/home/user/photos

  Name: IMG0007-200... (name of the photo)

  I looked everywhere that I have air...

  I went to the Options... Memory and looked at what I had available. Here's what I found:

  Application memory

  Free space: 9.6 MB

  The device memory

  Total area: 879.2 MB

  Free space: 0.0 KB

  Multimedia card

  Total space: 7.3 GB

  Free space: 5.6 GB

  Of course, the glaring problem is that I don't have ANY free space on the device.  Where everything is?  I have a 8 GB memory card and I have uploaded about 150 songs in my Storm. However, I have not downloaded photos or anything else. What happened to all the memory?   Where everything is?

  I tried a couple things like turn market, pulling out the memory card, etc... I tried to attach the storm and then sneaked in the records themselves and the only things I could find in ALL files was my MP3 files.

  Anyone know what's happened here?

  Thank you!

  I call vzw in the morning and speak to someone in support technique bb (make sure that your call from another phone)

  I'm sorry, I was unable to solve your problem.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Hi there - I am new here but experiencing problems with my Storm 2 audio streaming

  I have terrible problems with my Storm 2 like very weak signal in the House - when my partner on the same network, but using a curve has no problems (she gets 4 bars of signal, I'm lucky if I get 2)

  also, I can't stream audio from a site I want to hear - something that she is capable of doing.

  When I try to live from a radio station, I get the following message: «!» "This selection contains no valid songs" memory buffer... is displayed in the upper right corner, but no connection is ever made.

  Any ideas what I need to do to correct the thing?

  Also I can listen to or download mp3s I put it online for access via my storm (unfortunately I use mac os x 10.4.11 and the blackberry desktop manager is only for os x 5.5 or higher - mark/space missing syncalso has serious problems with the synchronization of all media to the storm)

  could do with some really helps and have had a good look but can find very little to help me so it's a bit of a long first post, I'm afraid.

• BlackBerry smartphones I sent to my old storm to RIM refund back in April 2011, yet never received the cheque. Anyone know who I could contact.please?

  Hello guys, I sent my old storm RIM refund back in April 2011. They had a promotion: buy a new BlackBerry and sent back the old Blackberry for a maximum loan of $75.00 for the storm. I bought a flashlight with Telus. I never had the check. Anyone know who I could contact please? Thank you very much.

  See the information to reach us from the Web site: http://ca.blackberry.com/contact/ the options that you want to select to talk to the BlackBerry customer service are 3 (for requests of information, orders, billing, e - RMA etc.) then 5 (e - RMA and warranty).

• BlackBerry smartphones new Torch 9800 user - need help with the Message 'Conversation' feature

  I just spent to an older Blackberry Curve to the torch. I'm used to standard text "and will answer' or 'create a new SMS' but T-9800 'Conversation' feature SMS is maddening - all SMS communications with a contact are transferred in a single conversation, regardless of the date or content. I am also unable to send separate replies to individual SMS - just one more in the conversation messages.

  When I checked the text Message Options, the option to display only that I could find was for the 'Bubble' or 'Line'. I also was not able to find all the features that allow the user to put an end to a conversation with a contact or start a new one.

  If someone has encountered this? If so, is there an option or feature I'm on just to correct these problems? And of course, how?

  Thanks in advance!

  Consulted several other forums and just had a face to face with Best Buy rep - looks like the term/phrase I was looking for was "SMS threading"... and there is currently no option on the current operating system of torch for clear thread of SMS functionality.

  Well - it is what it is. I'll have to take consolation that, apparently, I'm not the only one who had a problem with the thread SMS functionality, and a possible fix might be made available in the next software update.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Desktop Manager 4.7 (for storm) does not connect to Lotus Notes

  I have a 8130 for awhile and it works very well using DM 4.2 SP2. I had the storm on Friday and tried to be updated since then. Here's what I tried in order.

  After I had the storm I have...

  4.2.2 removed off of my computer. 4.7 installed. Storm connected.

  Result = DM will not let put me in my notes by default connection profile box in the "instead of" in the "Lotus Notes Login" dialoge box at startup.

  4.7 deleted. The clean uninstall procedure with some registry changes noticed on the site Web of Blackberry. DM 4.2 RELOADED. 8130 reconnected. Connected to the Notes. Do you have a synchronization. 8130 disconnected. Installed DM 4.7. 8130 connected.

  ' Result = could not specify profile fitting of Notes in the box "instead of" in the Lotus Notes Login ' box of dialoge on starting DM.

  After some trial and error, I am able to get all instances of DM uninstalled and allowed out of my registry. Then load 4.2 DM and get my 8130 to work. I am able to install 4.7 itself or on top of 4.2 but the result is always the same. DM is not able to connect with Lotus Notes.

  Someone has seen something like this before? Someone at - it suggestions of things to try? I'm going out of my mind here trying to get this thing to run.

  Thanks in advance.

• BlackBerry smartphones is a way for the storm to "separate email accounts? '

  Forum,

  Is there a way for the Blackberry Storm to 'split' emails to 2 different accounts?  I have a corporate email account (MS Exchange) and a Yahoo! account.  Emails of these accounts appear in the Messages.  Is it possible to separate them so that I can view the emails in a view/account, Yahoo! mail in a different view/account?

  I guess it would be a type of client software for Blackberry email... dunno.

  Thanks in advance!

  Joe

  The alternatives will have to use an app of the add-on for the storm to create an icon that displays only the BES-based emails. See http://www.getempower.com/Empower_BES_MailBox.php for more information (I tried the free trial version and it worked great). The BES configuration method is discussed at http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB15003&sliceId=SAL_Pub..., but we have yet to try this one. Another alternative is to use modules for non - BES mail... GMAIL offers an add-on which manages all GMAIL, bypassing BIS entirely... I don't know if other e-mail providers have something similar.

  I'm currently testing a configuration where I use BIS to get my company email, BES to OTA sync my company calendar and contacts, GMAIL of add-on application to handle this, and BIS to manage what other email accounts. I no longer watch the main 'Messages' box at all.

• BlackBerry smartphone email Settings (existing users) user name?

  Hello

  I was hoping that someone could tell me if it is possible to remove the user name used to connect to the "Existing users" section during e-mail account set up.  I see onceyou journal user existing can change the password but not the username. My service is through sprint and it is a 8330 Curve.Thank you to anyone who can help or guide me in the right direction.

  Hawks

  Call the carrier BIS account is associated to and ask them to 'remove' the account or "disassociate" it your BlackBerry PIN. (Found under Options > status)

  Once this is done, you can create your own user name of the unit or you connect on your carrier's BIS website...
