• BlackBerry smartphones cannot update Curve 8520 from V4.6 OS OS V5.0

  I tried the update from blackberry website. At the launch of the Application Loader, it provides only with the option of maintaining my OS and downgrading my OS for older 4.6.1 version.

  I've used the exact steps on an another Curve 8520 and I had successfully upgraded the operating system! After that the upgrade was successful the first phone, only tried the second phone upgrade. Is there something I did wrong the second time around? I hope to get help, thank you!

  Good.

  Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

  1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
  2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
  3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

• BlackBerry Smartphones USE FOR CURVE 8520 WIFI

  I recently bought a blackberry curve 8520 with Fido. My phone is connected to my wifi at home, but I want to assure you that I'm strictly using data NOT wifi (because I don't have a data plan). I noticed that in a network public wifi, a red asterisk * - appears on the WiFi icon in the upper right of the phone. Like this:

  (the WiFi symbol is surrounded to demonstrate what I mean when I say WiFi symbol and the asterisk appeared like this)

  

  However on my home network, if it says it is connected, the asterisk does not appear. As you can see it it says "Fido-peanut" (my router name) which means that Yes, I'm "connected..." BUT without the red asterisk on the wifi symbol (with my home WiFi) does that mean that I am not connected correctly?  I called Fido and the CSR said she thinks she has something to do with login password in public WiFi, but she's not sure.

  The problem seems to be this: when I go on 'The Mobile Network Options' to activate ""data services ' OFF(to make sure that I am only using wifi and no data), the connection fails and I get this message: "

  

  

  

  When I turn it on, I am able to connect.

  

  

  For ""connection preference ": "

  what setting should I put if I don't want to use any WIFI data BUT?  Yes, the obvious answer would be to choose "WI - Fi" only, but this means that I won't be able to call/text because my mobile connection turns off.

  

  So, how can I make sure I'm really only using wifi and not data when both the data service is turned ON and my wifi is 'connected '?

  It is a list of what I've done:

  (1) the HOTSPOT USER - check.

  (2) insterted PIN provided by the phone to my dlink router (via online)

  (3) tried the push button configuration

  (4) restarted my router/modem

  5) there is a check mark next to the WiFi connection:

  

  It would seem that I am connected to Wifi, but again, to reiterate, that I would like to ask if the WiFi is the ONLY thing I use and not data.

  Thank you!

  It's pretty simple... IF you are connected to your network Mobile disabled (no phone calls or SMS) you will use ONLY WiFi. Only. As long as you have the 'white' dashboard and the name of the network "green peanut butter", you are connected to WiFi, but without BIS BlackBerry data services.

  If you disable Data Services, you will not be able to use data in any form (via WiFi or Mobile network, if it is enabled.)

  No BlackBerry data plan, you will be able to use the WiFi hotspot browser and some few third-party apps like Pandora radio.

• 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

  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.

• 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

  Hello tooblackish

  Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

  Sorry for the trouble, but I noticed this same problem with few other users, who could not send pings to any BlackBerry 10 there BlackBerry 7 devices.

  To solve your problem, I suggest to re-install BlackBerry Messenger!  To do this on your homescreen go to Options > device > application > locate and remove BlackBerry Messenger from there. After deleting to do a battery pull reboot as this device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back.

  Finally, after the reboot, use your BlackBerry browser and go to www.blackberry.com/bbmdownload and download the latest available for your phone model. If device reboot prompt do then sign in with your ID BlackBerry even.

  Try it and tell us how it goes.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  If the old BB is really dead, then it is not available as a source for restoring your data to your new device. Instead, you must use another source, one that you created before the old BB died.

  If you made a backup of office, you can use the backup as a restore source file:

  As you use BB Protect, is also an available food source:

  • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

  You must be sure to connect to, on the new BB, the same BB ID that you used on the old BB. If you have already created a new ID BB on this new BB, then you go to your old ID BB:

• Sync Outlook blackBerry Smartphones issue: sync Bennett tells me to remove 300 + entries in Outlook

  Hi all

  With my wife, we had 2-BB Curve 8520 and we are now trying to synchronize both of them with our Outlook 2003 SP3 on XP SP3. Both do the same thing:

  1 / first synchronization goes well, BB calendar is full,.

  2 / all syncs well for a few days.

  3 / one day synchronization said us it will remove 3000 + items on Outlook, of course I click on reject and cancel synchronization,

  4 / I reboot OK by one-dir tp BB Outlook synchronization.

  5 / a few days later, he returned to step 3 and behaves badly again.

  I can't get any lasting solution, the only thing I got is a workaround that lasts only a few days.

  Our version of BB (mine / my wife):

  -Platform: 4.2.0.118 / 4.2.0.135

  -Application: 4.6.1.274 / 4.6.1.314

  Thank you in advance to all those who would give us an indication!

  Hi, bifocals

  Thanks a lot, seems the entry 'BlackBerry Desktop Manager wants to remove the old entries for the Microsoft Outlook calendar' is the solution! In fact I don't even think that the BB can have a default setting of delete items 60 + days. Could be initially to welcome old, low-mem models and remained that way.

  I'll test it 2-3 days and if everything is OK, I will mark it as resolved.

  Cool!
  I'm glad that you fixed it.

  In your case, I think that your best tool besides the others will be the transfer of date range option when you configure calendar synchronization. I put mine 5 years each way. !

  Please solve the thread so that others can find your answer faster.
  Thank you

• Decommissioning blackBerry smartphones phones 4 U 8520, can not find software Phones4U

  Like many people, I upgraded to OS 5 recently, and frankly it's terrible. I looked around, discovered how to upgrade, but couldn't find the right software, I need.

  I have a Blackberry Curve 8520, my network is Orange UK, so first I tried the software Orange UK from here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  But that did not work, so since Phones4U is not there, I tried the Carphone Warehouse Software (thought since they were not a network it can possibly use, but it does not).

  Y at - it one of those working with mature Phones4U?

  Uh, I'm sorry but YOU're wrong.  Only, you must delete the file vendor.xml on the pc after the installation of the OS and Loader.exe in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader allows to load any operating system on the device you want.  It is the most reliable way of loading the software of the device.

  In fact, here is a late version of the OS 4.6 that you can load to you, if you simply follow the instructions posted:

  http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-8500-series-discussion-Gemini/214971-OS-8520-4-6-1-470-4-6-1...

  or you can load the latest version 5.0 of this thread:

  http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-8500-series-discussion-Gemini/227461-latest-OS-8520-5-0-0-11...

  to upgrade a device just follow the instructions.  To downgrade, just remove all versions in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs later than the version that you want to downgrade to and run loader.exe again.   It's pretty simple, actually.

  KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to a BlackBerry smartphone

  If you don't know where is the backup file, search your entire hard drive for a file with an extension of the RPI (*.ipd). Inspect the results - mainly date/time of the file. Select the candidate most likely and use it as a source in the above procedure.

  Good luck!
