• BlackBerry Smartphones has new Curve?

  Hello world!

  I had just a small question

  so its time for a new blackberry and I love the curve series, and I was wondering if he had plans for a new curve (for AT & T) at any time in the near future. I don't want to buy one and get a new one out shortly after!

  It would be great if they could add the record video and wifi at the 8310... but I guess this would make just TOO perfect, huh? =]

  Thank you!!

  Sorry Tanzim on wifi. I read an article of innacurate or I just misread it.

  ilsb2m, release date depends on your operator. As of now I heat At & t is supposed to release sometime in September.

• BlackBerry Smartphones user 1 time BB

  Hi guys,.

  I am a first time user, so I have a lot of questions on this BB curve. I bought a second hand curve and I have no idea how to set this phone (only bought the model, it has no manual and accessories). Here are my questions and thanks in advance to those who can answer:

  1. my IP address is 0.0.0.0 - I can connect to the WiFi network but I can't browse the web

  2 if I have the program installation/create a bb here id, can I use it on my handheld?

  3. what an erasure of memory wipe exactly and an erasure of memory affect my id card/BBM SIM as well?

  Hi Alex121289

  Welcome aboard BlackBerry family and community

  First I would like to that you visit BlackBerry 101 and manual BlackBerry Curve - manuals and Guides for getting started

  Secondly if you have purchased a device used by one of your friend or any store online then it is always advice to do a security wipe to remove any objects associated with the previous user. You can see this help Article:

  KB28225 : BlackBerry Smartphone must be wiped before transferring the security property

   

  With regard to your questions:

   

  1 carrier little need short data even plan to navigate the Internet, even via wifi. So aske your operator if you need some sort of data plan to your account

  4: you can create a new BlackBerry ID on the site Web de BlackBerry ID that you can use on your device, see this KB:

  KB24062 : How to create a BlackBerry ID

   

  3. If you do a security wipe on your device it will remove all the installed user application, e-mail accounts so that your card memory if you insert memory card while doing a security wipe. Yes, it will remove the BlackBerry ID that is already associated with this device, after a wipe, you can use a new BlackBerry ID or even that you use before, but a security wipe has nothing to do with your SIM card.

  However... With your query 1"not able to navigate on the internet". Like you bought this device in some cases if your device has a COMPUTER policy then IT can prevent browser so my suggestion... Rather than to do a security wipe you reset your device to factory setting, this will remove all political and helps solve your problem.

• BlackBerry Smartphones active new SIM - now phone SOS only

  Hi all. Have a little problem. I had to go back to an old 9700 When my current iPhone broke. I needed a new card SIM from the iPhone using a different card. When I called Rogers to activate the SIM everything was fine for about a minute. I received texts that were pending since Sunday when my iPhone broke. I had full bars etc. Once a minute, he went to SOS only. While I was on the phone with Rogers Tech Support I have reset and removed the battery and SIM and all the things they wanted me to. Everything looks good on their system, he said that the problem must be with the device.

  A bit on the device:

  Originally with Mobilicity in 2009. Opened and used with the wind. My father then used with Rogers and Fido. Since Sunday, when my phone broke, I used SIM card of my brother-in-law (he just swung at Rogers to the wind, but his plan has always been paid until the end of September) and the BB worked very well. If it worked correctly with a Rogers SIM.

  Now, I get the same problem with my brother-brother SIM. SOS only. No connection. What happened when active Rogers SIM card must have done something to the camera itself because now it does not connect to any of them. That both SIMs work as I have tested both in my wife's phone.

  The guy on the Support of Rogers suggested that perhaps the closed phone itself - but when I enter the settings advanced for the SIM card that everything is disabled in customization... so it appears not to be locked.

  He said that I should try to reinstall the OS, but that it will block the phone and I need to unlocked again.

  Is there anything else it could be? Will reinstall the OS relock the phone? Any other suggestions?

  Thank you very much!

  First this... avoid this tech Rogers like the plague. He has no idea what he's talking about. All what he told you is simply not possible. Once MEP unlocked, a BB device can blocked at the factory. Nothing of what you have done or the facilities of any OS can relock a BB.

  I'd rather a complete security on the Device Wipe:

  • KB14058 How to delete all data and applications in the smartphone BlackBerry using the security option wipe

  Otherwise, a ResetToFactory WIPE:

  • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

  After each one, put it in the SIM card and switch on the device, and then make sure that the voice is through Rogers. Only then start to worry about getting all the data to work (if you subscribe BIS, in other words).

  If you want to get off the OS Reload path, then the easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do this on MAC):

  (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below. (not applicable in your situation)

  2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

  (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/software/desktop.html

  (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
  • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

  5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

  • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
  • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

  6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

  6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/BlackBerry-device-software/how-to-reload-your-operating-syste...
  • Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC.

  If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

  You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

  You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

  1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
  2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
  3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
  4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
  5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

  When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

  If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

  If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

• Video blackBerry smartphones helps on curve 8520

  people, I bought a new blackberry curve 8520. I cannot play mp4 in her videos... I don't want to convert videos every time and then put it in my phone...

  Please suggest me software that could be installed in the cell so that I can see with ease

  Hello

  When you have a video on your desktop and want to put on your Blackberry, the chances are that he will not be in the proper format. you have three ways of doing things in your BB:

  • You can use Roxio Media Manager (see the many discussions about this program that is available when you download the "Blackberry Desktop Manager with Media Manager"
  • You can use a web converter-> blackberry like http://blueapple.mobi/
  • You can convert the video yourself, then move it to your Blackberry.

  For download on your blackberry, simpler is to connect your Blackberry, set it in "Mass Storage" (UMS) and Drag mode ' n "drag the file in your folder \Videos\ on your blackberry (you don't need the Desktop Manager to do)."

  For the conversion of the video, I discovered a free and open-source program called AKME FFmpeg (name ugly, but easy to use). It can be downloaded here: SourceForge > AKME FFmpeg .

  There is only one screen: choose the file to convert, choose the Blackberry (for example Blackberry Curve 8300 400 Kbps), select the name of the destination file and choose the ratio if necessary (for example youtube FLV videos are in 16:9 instead of 4:3 by default). then click more and the conversion begins. I love mp4: best 3gp quality and can be viewed with a regular Media Player like VLC or Windows Media Player.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Yes, the device switch Wizard has two devices so that he can have an up-to-date backup. But, if you have a recent backup, then the previous BB shouldn't be necessary. See this KB:

• Button of browser blackBerry Smartphones No. on curve 9300?

  Hi all, my original BB curve 9300 was stolen - son he has liked it so much I bought another one from an Internet auction site. All was well until my son has noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said that everything was fine with his contract. They helped me through the access remote and backed up, then tried to restore and update all nothing done. The only thing they think is that it is a business phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they do not surf the net, so it is disabled. My question is, is that correct? Can do something to restore the navigation, or is it something else?
  Thanks Nicky

• BlackBerry smartphone messaging issue curve 9320

  Hi all!

  the e-mail on my 9320 function does not work correctly. I have correctly configured my gmail on mydevice account and I get emails and receive notifications when they arrive, HOWEVER...

  When I opened the email all I see is heading for the topic and who it is from, there is no message body. Looking back through my old emails, the only ones I have read completely are those that I received BlackBerry when I first set up my email confirming the installation. If I select answer or forward, it opens the E-mail project but then the email app is closed completely and I'm suddenly brought to my home screen.

  What I've tried so far:

  -Turning device and turn it on again

  -removal and setting up my email account once again

  -wear the device to where I bought it. they offered to download blackberrydesktop on my PC Manager and backup then restore my phone. I did it without a change in behavior from my blackberry

  Any help or advice is much appreciated

  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 need to consider a full reload OS... to prepare, please visit link for Backup in my auto signature on this post.

  Good luck!

  Zibu,

  If you do not have access to the email that you used for your BlackBerry ID, then you hit, your carrier fails to resolve it for you, now you have a limited option. Need to change your BlackBerry ID, so first make a backup of your device using Desktop software, then follow this Knowledge Base:

  But please note all in doing so, you will lose access to any paid apps that you bought on BlackBerry World.

• Transfer contacts from blackBerry Smartphones to a Curve 8330 on a BES.

  Hi all

  I am a newbie to BB but recently received for the work.  My problem is trying to transfer the contacts from my old cell phone (Sanyo SCP-7050) on my new Curve 8330.  I took it to my local Sprint store, and they said that contacts can be transferred because the BB was registered on a BES.  The Bluetooth connection no longer works, I guess for the same reason.

  I don't have a chance, or there at - it another way, I can enter my BB contacts?  I have contacts stored as individual card (.vcf) and was hoping there is a way to use the micro SD card to load them on somehow.

  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

  BB 8330

  V4.5.0.175 (Platform 3.4.0.55)

  No apps not loading... yet.

  Thank you

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Since you're on BES, why don't you just DL your vcf to your PC and import them into Outlook? Then BES will be responsible to your BB.

  Good luck and let us know!

• New curve blackBerry Smartphones user 9320, I need a little help

  Thank you very much

  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 a new user asks Curve 8330

  I'm sure these are covered from somewhere, but I been searching Help for too long.

  I guess that someone here will just know and be happy to tell me:

  (1) why the screen sometimes goes dim? Is this a setting?

  (2) what does that mean my phone is "scheduled to turn off" tonight? Is this a setting?

  (3) what is a "case"? It appears in numerous menu but not in the glossary

  (4) is there a table somewhere that says what all the status symbols are on the homescreen?

  Some appear and then left and I don't know what they were for.

  (5) is that the blinking light on top of any use other than to show that I always get a signal? Which is already illustrated by th bars.

  (6) on my old phone the light was going to missed calls or missed reminders while I was away from my phone. Are there

  a way to say, or what I have to check each time I come back?

  Thank you

  Yes, options > screen/keyboard > backlight. Why? To save the batteries and hold the button to a roar of low complaints about poor battery life.

  Yes, Options > Auto on / off, your adjust as desired.

  (3) what is a "case"? It appears in numerous menu but not in the glossary

  The leathery pouch Holster or belt that comes with many devices, in the package. In the case for a real BlackBerry OEM Holster, there is a magnet inserted that the power 'sleep' save the battery life AND allows many more parameters in your profiles.

  (4) is there a table somewhere that says what all the status symbols are on the homescreen?

  Some appear and then left and I don't know what they were for.

  Yes, in your manual are some.

  Yes, the LED is adjustable and NOT blink at the moment (green means that you have coverage), but also to Flash in red to send or notifications you receive, if you wish.

  (6) on my old phone the light was going to missed calls or missed reminders while I was away from my phone. Are there

  a way to say, or what I have to check each time I come back?

  The red LED is adjustable for this.

• Problems of blackBerry Smartphones upgrade my Curve 8520 to the new version of the 5.0 software

  Hello

  I tried to update my BB Curve with the new software last night... I supported everything first... he crossed the 4 step process of update, but blocked on "restart" & just stood there.

  I know he said do not interrupt or disconnect during the update, so I went to bed & leaves to do it's thing... after 6 hours, he had not moved, I had to kill it.

  Now I've lost my contacts, history, files etc... purpose that I know they are on my PC somewhere because the update system has done its own backup, so I have to be able to 'restore' myself...

  Please can you help me?

  Thanks in advance, Simon

  Hi & Welcome to the community... !!

  First of all, please let us know, reloading the OS on blackberry is successful or not, so successuful then gr8.

  Secondly, as you said, you supported your device first of all, if you can restore the data from there, other wise, you can recover from the default backup location, where DM is saved automatically.
