Smartphones blackBerry Curve 8330 custom Notifications

Hi all. New Blackberry user here. Just got the unit yesterday and spent a few hours trying to get everything put in place.

The problem I have is trying to get my notifications customized to work with my contacts.

OK, so here we are:

A sender sends me a text or email and I want to let Notifier_ChiGong as the sound for them.

B the sender sends me a text or email and I want to tell you its A on my media card to play for them.

Now, I want all the other texts and emails from all over the world (on or not on my contact list) to play lets say its B on my media card to play for these.

When I get a voice mail notification, I would sound completely different, let's say C sound of my media card to play in this one.

I tried establishing exceptions and everything, but nothing works... All emails texts and voicemail notifications the same b strong and healthy parts.

I searched the forums, but I can't understand this thing for the life of me. Everything else is coming for me as I continue to play with the device. I also spent 2 hours last night manually keying in my contacts in this unit, because my previous phone was not a smartphone, and I didn't Sync in my email software and destroy my many lists of various contacts...

Andy help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I tried to adjust the exceptions, and it does not work.

I copied and pasted the post below.

It's complicated for SMS ringtones, but possible. Follow the instructions here:

This work around will allow you to receive specific alerts for e-mail and messages from specific senders:

(Works with OS 4.2 and later)

1. go to the profiles on your BlackBerry and create a custom profile, naming the name of your sender targeted.

2. Edit and change the custom ringtones that you prefer for this contact message notifications, Messages of level 1, MMS, phone and SMS for this profile. You don't change things like the calendar, tasks, and Messenger alerts do not matter for individual users.

3. once all your ringtone settings are defined for the new custom profile, save the changes. Now, you will be in your list of profiles and see your customized profile that there are listed with the standard.

4. now click on the wheel, and then select new Exception.

5. title except for what you want (would be smart to again name the name of this particular contact).

6. in the line, click the trackball or trackwheel and select the user in your address book. They should show now in your line.

7 scroll to the bottom and change the option use the active profile in your custom group newly created profile.

8. you can dislodge the "Custom phone Tune" box if you already have a custom phone tune for this contact, or leave it and set it in the new custom as well profile.

9 save the changes.

Now once you have followed these for each SMS contact - click Save as indicated by the number nine.  Go back to your profile and click on normal or hard for the sound profile. Make sure that you have all of the exceptions already in your area of exception for those you did a SMS tone for. If you do, remove them so you your SMS does not work.  You can actually set your ringtones under each one that you set up as well. When you change your SMS sounds, you can click on the phone and change your ringtone to that specific one.  Hope you can understand this.

Each of us will be more than happy to help you, let know us!

Have a great day and good luck. Take advantage of your blackberry!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Curve 8330/BlackBerry Storm dilemma

    So I'm a college student and it was just time for a new cell phone and I wanted the BlackBerry Storm. I lived with the case on a particular site that he had a lower price than the initial price. So I was filled out the contract and the end decided, it may be cheaper to get another phone. (Well, I didn't decide it, but it's not the point)

    To remedy this, I'll and checkout the BlackBerry Curve 8330. I'm filling out the contract and I can't seem to achieve the process that it is basically about the same price as the BlackBerry Storm with all the features that are added to the end. I so go ahead and get it.

    Afterwards, I do the calculation and finally realize... "HEY!" For the price, that I might as well have stuck with the BlackBerry Storm'.

    So now, I just wonder, until I myself beat too if there is no reason to fight. Is the BlackBerry Storm really good or I'm better off the coast with the BlackBerry Curve or is it important? I really want to a new touch screen phone and I liked the look of the Blackberry Storm. Not to mention that I think the curve is old enough right. Although I don't like the curve. Then Yes.

    Any input will be greatly appreciated. I just joined just to ask this question so I hope it was worth.

    Thank you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Curve (8330 Verizon) has spinning hourglass

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 from Verizon, a month ago. It is configured with a Blackberry Enterprise Server to my work. A few weeks ago, I woke up one morning to a spinning hourglass. Applications seem to work and I could make calls. However, everything was really slow. I tried connect to Verizon for a software update. That did not help. Then, I tried a few resets hard (removal of the battery). That did not work also. The boot has taken longer than usual and I found myself with spinning hourglass each time. I called Verizon and they said that I had to wipe the device and try again.

    I wiped it and then set up all my accounts e-mail again. Then I got the email people send me a different password to set up the connection with MS Exchange. Everything seemed fine for a few weeks. Then, this morning, I found the same thing. I tried a few resets hard. One thing I also noticed this time is that if I try voice component, the application says "during initialization... "and then to block the phone. And all that is using the CPU is also drain the battery. My battery is at 45 percent four hours after I took it off the charger.

    When I spoke to Verizon this time they told me they would send me a new phone. I will try this, but to be honest, that I'm not sure that's the problem. I suspect the buggy software. It's really frustrating. Surely, there must be a way to solve exactly which process is this?

    Oh, I almost forgot to mention third-party applications, that I installed. I don't like cluttering up the Blackberry with many extras as I am not very confident when it comes to the quality of the software. Here's what I've got there:

    * - TellMe

    * - Client AIM (downloaded on RIM)

    * - Update Facebook client

    * - Opera browser

    There are a lot of memory (more than 55%) when I check the status display.

    I have a memory card of 4 GB installed with some MP3 and photos. The card has 3 GB free.

    Any suggestions?

    I had this problem 3 times.  The 3rd time the tech at verizon from disabling applications.  When we turned the hourglass on facebook went.  Touch wood, but my phone has not started to act up again again.  It's been 3 days now and everything is good so far.  If he does so since tomorrow, it will be the longest, it worked with the hourglass turning upward.  The tech said that he had seen a few times so far and on each of them noticed we all used facebook, so he tried and so far it works.

  • Smartphones blackBerry Curve 8330 Line Out for external speakers?

    Hello!    I wonder if it is possible to use the headphone jack of 3.5 mm to the music of the road since the BlackBerry Curve 8330 through speaker / stereo receiver system. I tried to use a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack to RCA stereo/video from the BlackBerry to the RCA headphone port / V ports on my amplifier/receiver, with the audio never play via the loudspeaker in the handset or the speaker. The audio plays fine in the headphones supplied with the Curve 8330. Also I noticed in another thread, someone tried to do something similar, but the car's audio system, and the problem they had was that the cable they used was incompatible somehow. If anyone has any experience with this or knows what type of cable to use, your advice would be much appreciated! Thank you. -Sladian

    I spoke with a friend who tried the same case, and he said that the problem is in the type of cable. The headset uses the third ring on the voice data sheet (line) while the other two are for audio and the ground. When using a PIN to 3 RCA (Audio video + stereo) unit seems to have a problem with resolution of the video with the microphone online. When you use the headphone of BlackBerry as a line of output, please make sure they use only a stereo (L + R) RCA (2-pin) cable to avoid the problem of the video line line mic.

    The interface of the BB from the web interface - they get to the same place... BIS welcomed to your carrier. I personally always find more easy to use the web interface from the interface of BB. The last time I did this, the screens had the same data on each interface (they looked different, of course, but they had fields sams and the available selections).

    After faking out in step 3, you should be presented on the screen on step 4... on which you need to click this radio button... who isn't? If not, how about using a valid email address, but a bad password?

  • Smartphone blackBerry curve 8330 4.5 update for 4.7 or 5.0

    Well, I run on 4.5OS, but some new applications I require at least 4.7.  Can't find anywhere.  Also, when I try to download 5.0OS from my mobile phone, or via the internet and the desktop software I don't get a message saying there are no downloads available.  5.0 is NOT supported for the Curve 8330 despite claims from the site?  What is the problem?  Yet once, why can't download 5.0 (or same 4.7) for smartphone that works only 4.5?  Makes no sense.  Any help appreciated.

    Andy

    This thread has steps to allow the upgrade of your operating system 5.0. That's how I upgraded my 8330 to version 5.0. I'm still undecided on if I'm going to stick with it or go back to 4.5.

  • Smartphones blackBerry Curve 8330 Notifications of personalized calendar

    I just upgraded my 1st BlackBerry to a Sprint/Nextel ic902 a month ago and have made reference to this forum for several problems with repeated success.  Thanks guys, BTW.  You are VERY helpful.  But I've not found anything here on how to set an alert for appointments in the calendar.  I realized how send me a SMS for the nomination, but can't seem to understand how to set a record as an alert to repeat appointments of the voice.  As alarms.  I noticed that the BB has only available to set an alarm.

    I have several daily alarms easily on my old phone, but the BB gives me fits with that.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Everything I did, but as janevans911 said in the previous post, the calendar will assign the same record ringtone/voices for all entries.

    I downloaded the demo of BBSmart alarms Pro and that seems to work perfectly.  Probably going to buy now.  But thank you.

  • Smartphones blackBerry - Curve 8330 - music download Newbie question

    Do I have to have a media card to download music on my new 8330?  Also, I downloaded the BlackBerry Media Sync program.  What is the most easy to use program to transfer the music on my BlackBerry?  Thanks in advance and sorry for the stupid questions.

    You need a multimedia card. It will hold bigger size of the MP3 files that your memory of the device (I think as a size of 3 MB on the device memory limit) and unlimited size on the map.

    Second, you don't have a lot of large files in the memory of your device because you end up with insufficient memory problems and lose your call logs, text messages and potentially of calendar items, etc.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Curve 8330 is not receive emails from AOL

    About 2-3 days ago, my Blackberry has stopped receiving email AOL also including my Facebook notifications. My Yahoo emails come through fine.

    Please list as suggestions as possible I can try to solve this problem.

    I requested access to my e-mail settings that I forgot my password but I have not received my password via my Blackberry - my Yahoo account is my main email account.

    It's frustrating - please help!

    The first thing that you need is enter your BIS account... and since you do not have these credentials, there is nothing we can do. You will need to contact your carrier they control your BIS account. You get your fixed BIS access, then try to delete and recreate the conduit BIS for AOL.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry Curve 8330 Blackberry Smartphones: Spinning hourglass and no email

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 (about two months) on network VerizonWireless. Yesterday, I started to see a spinning hourglass that wouldn't go away, and now I can't receive emails. (I'm not on a customer business). The signal shows 1XEV connection and I see the ' up/down' arrows flashing periodically, but still no email comes through. All except the standard five applications are closed and I tried the option "remove the battery when the unit is running and wait a few minutes before plugging it back" does not. (The hourglass stopped for a few minutes, but came back and I'm still not received my email).

    STATUS

    Battery: 65%

    Free file: 34379991 bytes

    File total: 83623936 bytes

    Another challenge is that I use a Mac with OS X 10.4.11, not a PC based on Windows, so I don't have the software Manager to use.

    Can someone give me an option before taking this thing back to the store?

    Thank you

    @rmaurer: I forgot to mention the battery drain, but the mine who did as well.

    The idea of 'everything back and get another' is never very satisfying for me. Especially if I have to keep doing it over and over again (like bobcawman, above), and he never really addresses the problem. If this is the case, then it seems that I bought a bad product, not only got a defective unit.

    The solution for me was to back up all my data by using the Desktop Manager, then reload the operating system of the VZW website software. The process was a bit complicated, and I'm sorry, I don't remember the exact steps to share here, but there is an option on the web site for the latest version of the software (4.5 for Verizon, I think). That solved the problem for me so far. I suppose however that the real question, why what is happening with so many people. I've seen many, many messages on exactly the same thing. I wonder if it's an issue just with the previous version of the software, or something more serious with the 8330 in general operating system.

    I'll wait and see...
