SOLVED blackBerry smartphones - cannot make outgoing calls. Get two beeps like busy tone with the Koodo Mobile in Thunder Bay, Ontario North

This has caused me a lot of frustration.

With my curve when I try to make an outgoing call and I get a busy signal as two beeps repeating themselves.

I tried everything and the only thing that worked was a security wipe, so losing all my data.

If I made a backup and restore, the problem comes back. If I restored it selectively through desktop BLackberry, database of the database, the problem returns. Koodo Mobile and Blackberry escalated support was not able to understand this.

However, through much trial and error, I found that if I limit my identity or turn off the option to show my number in the phone settings, for some reason any he caused this problem.

So I can't block my identity by using the settings on the phone.

This can be the result of my location service and the carrier, which is Koodo mobile, in Thunder Bay in Northwestern Ontario that used the TBAYTEL towers for the service, the type of signals technology service. I don't know, and no one was able to tell me why this is happening. I went to 6 months not being able to make outgoing calls without losing ALL my sms, contacts, BBM, TXTs, bookmarks and other personal data. Only a security wipe would allow me to make a call - until I have activate the restrict my identity and activated the show my number option.

SO - I hope this helps other users. I've been through three phones, thinking that it was the material problems.

It's a kind of crappeh because I would not block my identity with a few calls. So with the curve BB on Koodo to Thunder Bay, I can't do that. I have not tried outside the Northwestern ONtario, but it will probably be the same, unless I am out of service TBAYTEL area.

Such is life. Live with it.

Difficulty easy but unsatisfactory.

I ' lll this post in the Forum of Koodo so when one exists.

See you soon!

I did these steps including restore each database one at a time with the same results. I can do a full restore and the remains of the issue until I set restrict my identity forever AND Show My Number Yes. I also did all of these steps with the any other BB Curve 8530 and it seems to happen every ih in this area.

I found the work around but it would be good to know why and if this happens outside the TBAYTEL towers that Koodo Mobile uses throughout Northern Ontario to the Ontario-Manitoba border in the West, to the North of Hearst and East of Sault Ste. Marie.

If there are a Koodo Mobile, users who have a BlackBerry Curve 8530, I'd like to hear you just what I see if it is unique to the service provider, hardware, software and network type, geographical location, etc.

Any comment is appreciated, as support Koodo and BlackBerry have been baffled and couldn't solve this problem and I hope that others find it so that they can save months of time and frustration, I have lived.

See you soon...

  • BlackBerry smartphones to reach this message to all those who are unhappy with the new update.

    Everyone who is angry with the new update (missing Key Lock, lack of contacts, etc.) please say it here.  Maybe if we get enough people to join on a post, they're going to do something.  I did have to use a password to lock my device actually.  Most of the phones on the market today have a simple way of locking keys.  In addition, the new software seems to run slow and slow.

    Just type that you agree, maybe they will get the idea.

    In addition, when you set a password on the device you can then have a lock on the device icon.  By pressing the K key locks the device as well.

    Without setting the password, then the lock button lock icon on top (see image below) will make a keypad lock regular, similar to the old removed sleep function. AND, you can press on and hold A to lock the keyboard.  K button does not work when a password is not set.

    Hold the button mute for sleep has been removed.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8330 Smartphone: I can't make outgoing calls to some phone numbers. Help!

    I recently bought the Curve 8330 from Sprint (about 3 months ago).  It worked fine for a few months, but now I can't make outgoing calls to some phone numbers.  It is almost constant.  I have signal strength strong (1XEV bars full).  Then when I make an outgoing call from the phone book or just manually enter the number, the call disconnects after a ring or a few rings.  Most of the time it just says: "disconnected" even though I didn't touch any button.  I tried to remove the battery for a few minutes, as well as the SD card, but it does not solve the problem.  I am very frustrated.  I'm technologically challenged and would like if someone could help me.

    Hello

    I just re-read this thread again, how many numbers is affected?

    You can call the carrier first, make sure your line is an option correctly.

    Let us know how many numbers, OK?

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry smartphones cannot add a language to my device

    Hello

    I am trying to add the French language on my camera and to remove Russian and Arabic which are implemented in it.

    In the desktop software, I can't find any specification to do this. When I press 'Applications' - there is no alternative than matks the possibility to add or remove languages.

    Can you help me?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Please start here:

    In general, it is the package BB OS exact that you install (via your PC) to your BB, and further, then by selecting the languages that you want to appear on the BB. Is what I recommend, on a PC (you can't do this on MAC):

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

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

    (3) download and install to your PC, the BB OS package you want:

    (4) If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML (there will be at least one, maybe 2)

    (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    Do not forget to save.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    The iPad can't make a phone call because it is not a phone.  But there is a choice of applications such as Skype to make calls over the internet.  The SIM card in an iPad has data only.

    You probably bought an iPhone stolen 6. Mine was stolen in Barcelona in Spain on June 10 by a pick-pocket. Fortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make an iPhone locked to the activation of the work.  You have a paper weight.

  • BlackBerry smartphones cannot load facebook, or any other site, but get e-mails

    Hi, does anyone have any idea why I can't load facebook mobile, or indeed any site Web, even though I normally receive e-mails and facebook messages.  But when I click on a link to take me to facebook etc.  It seems that it is loading, but it never does.  all I get is a blank page.  I have just received very well and could access any link until recently.  I don't know if maybe someone changed something in the perhaps settings - but I don't have the slightest idea how to again access facebook mobile etc.    I'd like to be able to do it again.  Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    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):

    • 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!

  • BlackBerry smartphones cannot get Roxio to work; can I synchronize 2 computers?

    My work laptop is an old (3 years) Sony Vaio VGN - 250 and I continue to C++ runtime errors when I try to put the storm on Roxio Media Manager via DM. I get "abnormal termination of the program."

    Since I have a desktop Dell more recent home, just download the drivers from Blackberry media to the 2nd computer and media sync to my computer at home? What I have to install the DM together on the 2nd computer and what can I do? My iTunes is on the computer at home in any case, it is an important function for me.

    I am a newbie to BB. I had 3 Motorola Q in 2 years and Motorola told me that my problem was trying to use 2 computers to one phone and that I shouldn't do that. Can I use two computers with the BB?

    Thank you all.

    Download BlackBerry Media Sync on my computer at the House and then sync iTunes to the storm was child's play. Thank you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones cannot open Excel xlsm attachments of the Hub

    When I try and open the hub Excel xlsm files, I get the following error message:

    "No observer available for 'filename.xlsm'. Download a Google Reader app to display the attachment.

    I know that leaves can open the file because I can open it my onedrive using leaves. I tried to save the attachment for the PRIV and then try to open it but I get the same error. Without doubt, I was able to download another app like Docs to go, but I don't want to do because we have a fleet of 100 PRIVs and I want a solution that does not receive a new application for all my users. Especially when I know leaves can open the file with no problem.

    I tried to go into the settings of application for sheets, but of course there is no way actually associate .xlsm (or any extension of specific file) manually. All I can do is "Clear Defaults" that does nothing.

    I also discovered that if I send the exact same attachment to my gmail account and open it with gmail on PRIV icon, the attachment opens fine.

    Another thing I learned during troubleshooting is if I save the file to the workstation account or my hotmail account in the download on the PRIVATE folder, then try and open the download icon he will say 'cannot open file'. However, if I save my OneDrive downloads and then try and open it from the download icon will be

    offer open the file with 3 different applications (RSA, import and Lexmark Print Service), but it does not offer the choice of the leaves.

    Finally, if I open the file to my Gmail, make a small change to the file (I typed test in one of the cells) and then save it in downloads, I then open it downloads.

    Certainly a few funky Android issues going on here. I find it very odd that the same exact file name will try to open differently from the downloads icon based on which application saved in this folder it. My brain focused on Windows has trouble understanding why an OS behave like that!

    Other information that may or may not apply to:

    -Several months when I was still on 5 Android (I'm now on 6) I was able to open my hotmail account .xlsm attachment in the hub, but not my work account in the hub. It's the excact same email simply sent to my e-mail from work to my hotmail account and I could open the attachment does but not the other.

    -J' was also able to save the file to my PRIVATE and open it. This is no longer the case. Now when I try and open the file from the "downloads" folder/app, it says: "cannot open file."

    Anyone have any ideas other than download a new application?

    See you soon,.

    After working with the support of Blackberry, they have achknowledged behavior is constant in the devices and the problem of development has intensified. They say a future update will solve the problem and allow the Hub to open xlsm files. In the meantime, the best solution I found is to save all the xlsm files in your download folder and then open them using ES Explorer Google game store. He is smart enough to open them with leaves.

    Thanks to all who responded!
