Smartphone blackBerry 8800 - OS does not seem to be upgraded

It's kind of weird...

My 8800 lists the version as v4.2.1.72 (in options-> on)

I downloaded 4.2.1.79 from blackberry.com:

I ran the install several times, routine apparently successfully.

However options-> on still shows the version as 4.2.1.72.

Any thoughts?

I would recommend that you go ahead and install the last version released for the 8800.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Curve 9320 does not illuminate

    He previously glitched by lighting, but it still does not turn. It is fully charged, I'd charge all night and in the morning, it worked fine. I was disabling some time during the day and he started very well. Went to put market later and nothing happened. Nothing turned on or anything. I took out the battery and put it again and nothing. I tried to recharge for hours and still nothing. I got it for about 5 months and the battery seems fine. I'm so frustrated and could help. I am a new user of Blackberry.

    What happens if you remove the battery, it is connected to the charger and then reinsert the battery?  You did some good troubleshooting, you can take it to the store?  Hard to say if it is the battery or something else.

  • Smartphones blackBerry BUG: camera does not work when the lamp is on

    BlackBerry PRIV model STV100-1
    AAE016 (aospl-msm8992 69 qc8992_sfi-user output software version
    Android version 5.1.1
    Last updated on 1st March.

    Previous version of the software had the same problem and can be reproduced like this:

    (1) to any application other than the camera, drag down twice from the top and turn on the flashlight.
    2) press the squarre and switch to the camera application, which says now: "camera not available."
    3) slide down twice, turn off the flashlight and switch camera to the photo app, now there is no message, but the camera still does not work.

    (4) use the table to any other application, then the table to return to the camera application, which now works fine now that the lamp is off.

    If you attempt to try the above, when you are in the camera app, once you drag down twice, there is no icon to turn the flashlight.

    Hmm, that's an interesting and scary use case, please provide

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry 9900 sending does not BBM Z10 and Q10

    Most of my colleagues use Q10 BB or BB Z10 and I have BB bold 9900, but I can't send them BBM I can receive their BBM. Help, please!

    Hello

    Thanks for the confirmation!

    Regarding your question, there is already a Knowledge Base article that is associated with this error:

    KB34245 : A checkbox, and then a red x appears when a BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 or BlackBerry 6 to 7 sends a message to a smartphone BlackBerry 10 via BlackBerry Messenger 7.0.1.23

     

    In my opinion # Workaround seems to be a little hard.  So I prefer you should first try to reinstall the BlackBerry Messenger application and see if it helps with your current problem.

    To make your homescreen go to Options > device > application > locate and delete BlackBerry Messenger from this list.

    KB10040 : How to view or delete the application installed on a blackberry smartphone

     

    Deleted once perform a battery pull reboot by removing the battery while your device is turned on, wait a min. and then reinsert this return.

    Finally, after the reboot, use your BlackBerry browser and go to www.blackberry.com/bbmdownload and download the most recent version available. After installation, restart your device once more, connecting with your BlackBerry ID and check if you are able to send BBM to one of these devices.

    Please try it and let us know of your progress.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry App World - does not load

    Hello

    BlackBerry App World opens and then says something like: "an error has occurred, please check your wireless connection and try again later". "." I don't know the exact phrase and when I check once again, I'll show it but nobody knows what to do? I re - establish a connection, and it makes no difference. I have to reboot, and sometimes it does not. It came with the error app 200 and I set myself, but it happened again to me to go and get it fixed again. I have the Blackbery Storm 2 (9950).-(je pense que c'est le 9950)

    Thank you, soraroxas11

    Gotcha: when you say reboot, does mean that you tried a battery pull?  If you have a WiFi connection available, try using this connection then the open app world.  You can also try reinstalling http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/appworld/download.jsp AW

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Internet Service does not work because of alleged network problem

    Service provider changed APN on cellular network of 'internet' to 'without limitation' and since then, BIS does not work and the host Routing Tables are empty. The AFN was changed no doubt, but still not BIS. Changing TCP/IP settings had also no effect. Service provider has now said that RIM should fix things, one server RIM and asked this, but it doesn't seem to be any progress and whenever I call customer service, I have to explain the whole story. Swopper SIM with another phone with works by BIS, so the phone itself is very good. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    It is now almost a month and there is simply no progress to solve the problem. I was told that RIM would contact me directly, what has not happened. Should I cancel BIS on that number and activate it on another?

    This seems unnecessary, but may be the only solution?

    Hi all, the problem was solved today by a brilliant person who found the AFN is not correctly set up - after so! many technical support confirms that it was fine.  I guess it may have as some misspellings that are so obvious, you can just find them. After more than a month, I'm just relievd and grateful!

  • BB of Smartphones blackBerry 8520 curve (does not start)

    Hi, I have a prob my girls curve 8520 just died Monday afternoon. She says he died as "the battery was flat," she says. Now, it does not come on, he wants, but he isn't. We have replaced the batteries, battery on a laptop and one wall loaded - the battery has been out for 12 hrs - sim card removed and replaced - I think is broken now well if I put the battery in, the red LED lights up, tha screen starts, then dies, then the LED lights, screen insiders, dies, LED etc. If the phone and then gets to the left (if all goes well to start eventually) continues the sequence mentioned above. But, the phone gets hot, as if to overheat. I have the idea that this overheating is like a short circuit on a car battery. At the moment, I decided to ask for help before you go out and buy a new phone. Is there a solution to this? Thank you

    OK, don't forget to read and try the instructions I posted above for a device that does not connect.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Desktop 7 does not

    I like many others downloaded the update for DM7 last night to find that it won't synchronize with any data Outlook or Windows 7.

    If you rightclik on the desktop icon and the compatibility settings check that the only listed program is Windows XP [SP2].  This might be the reason main why many of us have problems!  Given that as a small business user, I need to be able to synchronize my Blackberry with my PC could RIM not put a DM6.1 temporary download link [which is compatible Windows 7] on the site Web of Blackberry until what they have addressed the issue with DM7.

    I'm about to renew my mobile contract and the I am looking seriously away BlackBerrys, if they do.

    Desktop Manager VERSION 7 does not at all.  Back to the General Support Forum page and look at the second option Recenly solved on the right side.  Basically, rou do a clean uninstall of version 7 and reinstall 6.1.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Blackberry Bold 9900 does not recognize my sim card

    Hi, so I used all charges to my battery, loaded up and subsequently turned back on - all of a sudden the device does not recognize my sim card.

    The message that appears indicates that I inserted a new sim card - but I did not - and asks to connect you using my Blackberry ID username and password. I've done this, but my password was not recognized so I reset it online - it is said that the password was changed successfully, however, it still is not recognized when I go into my device.

    Someone please help? Thank you in advance!

    No, they are on the memory of the device. You should be able to connect the device to your PC and use BlackBerry Desktop Software to make a backup.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Blackberry Bold 9900 does not load!

    I've had my "BOLD" for 8 months now, last month my phone would not temporarily load, but today that it won't load at all, I had a new battery about two months ago, it was great at first, but then lost power later, the. Owen I connect my charger, the end is flawed and does not quite, I had the charger when I bought the phone at Christmas. I tried several outlets, but no progress... when I connect my phone to my computer, it loads only if I keep very still or sometimes not at all! So, what can I do? Thank you.

    Hi ryanchatt98,

    Thanks for the update! So that means your previous number is no more and you have only problem with your screen and keyboard during the direct light of the Sun. Well you can try pulling battery restart.which is still considered the first step towards the removal of the defects within the unit. Do it like this any device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back. See if that solves your problem.

    If this isn't the case, then you can go for a reload or update your device, which I think can solve your problem of screen and keyboard.

    Good luck

  • Audio BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Curve handset does not work

    This has happened much latley, I don't know if I am pressing a wrong button in my pocket or not. When I make a phone call or someone calls me. They can hear me but I can't hear them. If the audio does not work on my end.

    It is a common problem among people who open MMS messages with sound. So far, the only solution is a battery pull. I read that RIM knows about it and is working on a patch.
