BB Curve 8300 :: 8320 Spinning Hourglass Forever End Ever
Aug 10, 2010
I have a BB curve 8320, version 4.5.0.81.I have visited Tmobile, they replaced the SIMM card.I have a 4gb memory card, yet my phone is constantly in the "spinning hour glass mode" and unable to use.I thougth perhaps it was something to do with service in the Austin TX area, but it happened the entire week I was in Colorado and California.This makes the phone useless--what to do?The only solution I have found is to remove and reinsert the battery but this is a pain and soemtimes it does not work.My phone is spinnign right now. And yes, I do a quickpull on it nightly as suggested by T mobile.
have an old blackberry curve that has an almost constant spinning hourglass an any screen i am in. it is like it is doing a mini reboot, as it there is a pause if i try to open mail, but then it catches up. sometimes i have to pull the battery and reboot that way.
no software updates available, new radio shack battery, trackball brought back to life 7 or 8 times & still working.
I just got this Blackberry 8330 a month ago and am having problems. Two days ago, every time I tried to use it, it gives me this loading hourglass icon and it takes forever to get to the task. It acts like dial up internet. Even making a simple call takes forever. What can I do. It also sucks up charge. If I completely charge it up at night, it may hold charge until about 5:00 pm that same day.
Just upgraded from the Storm 1 to the Storm 2 and while everything seems to be ok, the "hourglass symbol" (not really an hourglass but more like 3 sticks at angles" keeps coming up in the middle of the screen.they sort of flash for a few seconds and then it goes away only to come back again a few secs later. Anyone know what is causing this? I didn't have this issue on my Storm 1.
I have a blackberry curve that's frozen up and now all it does is show the loading hourglass.... I've taken out the battery and I've tried letting it finish loading after taking the battery out. Well after letting it sit for 2 hours with this loading screen up it still hasn't done anything. What should I do?
I've had my BB 8320 for 21 months now and for about 18 of those I was getting the RIM messages and just put up with them until they just got so unbearable that I ranted to a friend about it. He pointed me in the direction of this forum, which helped me to fix the problem by uninstalling the desktop manager and reinstalling it without selecting the Enterprise Server option.Finally my problem was solved and it felt so liberating
I use my BB for work and I send a lot of SMS messages to clients that need to be recorded. I was forwarding those SMS's as emails to myself so that I could print a hard copy for the file, but recently all of my emails are failing, so it seems I can no longer send email messages from my BB.
I came here to try to find a solution, but I just can't seem to find one, I did however find a link to txtForward which I downloaded in trial version, but it didn't work - while I got the emails on my BB they weren't appearing in my Outlook inbox despite all the settings being correct. The absolute worst thing is that since then I'm getting the dreaded RIM messages again and I have absolutely no idea why
I can't send emails from my BB - they seem to go, but appear about 24 hours or so later with a red X and "Message Status : All attempts to resend failed."Constant RIM messages - Enterprise server is not the issue
I bought 4 BB 8320 in New York during a business trip,I gave the phone to my employees and I kept 1 for me when I was back in Italy. After 2 months of perfectly working period with internet and all my mails 1 of the phones (mine) it s not working anymore, after contacted my provider VODAFONE ITALY and tried all the possible solutions(several reset, updates) it still not working as the provider said the pin seems to be busy in another country.
I have a 3gs that i jailbroke with jailbreakme.com a few weeks ago. today it froze and when i tried to restart it, it shows the apple logo with the spinning wheel and it just keeps spinning. What can i do if i dont want to restore it because it will upgrade my phone to 4.0.2 and i still want the jailbreak?
I have had my verizon curve 8330 4 2+ yrs and here lately i have had to battery pull 2-3 times,that damn hourglass keeps popping up and sometimes it resets itself. does anyone have a solution to these problems?and is there a new software for the verizon curve 8330?
Can anyone tell me what is causing my BB to constantly bring up the hourglass while I'm navigating the display. It really slows my ability to use the BB and it also repeatedly freezes the entire phone. I have to remove the battery to regain access.
My BlackBerry Curve 8330 is only a month old. For some reason, no matter what application I am in, or what I am trying to do, my phone will lockup all the time. I get the hourglass and cannot do anything for ten minutes or more, sometimes it never goes away; When I want to use my phone I have to do a battery pull, and I'm talking 10+ battery pulls a day, literally.I don't have very many apps installed, all my media is on the memory card, and I always close every app as soon as I am done with it. What could be the culprit?
My Curve 8900 shut down over the weekend. It won't come back on. It goes off and when I press the power button, the red light comes one, the backlit screen with the hourglass comes on and then it goes off again. A little while later, it starts the cycle over again, backlit blank screen, hourglass spins, bb shuts off.
I accidentally deleted my downloads/games folder on my 8310, I downloaded kaspersky for 8310 now i cant find the icon in the menu and my blackberry start showing frequent hourglass.
I Constantly have the spinning second hand on my screen...I have turned off the phone, removed the battery, i tried to transfer my data to my pc to totally reset my device but i keep getting an error on my laptop that it can not transfer my info...
I have a Blackberry Curve 8320. Yesterday night, the "battery too low for radio use" sign appeared. I plugged it in for about an hour but the sign would not disappear so I did a battery pull. Radio turned back on, but now the phone will not charge. The lightning icon still shows up by the battery but it is stuck at 5%. Any suggestions?
I only have service in wi-fi areas with my phone.So, basically around my home.When I leave, I get "searching for networks" and then "no service".This just randomly started 4 days ago.I had service then, nothing while I was out then when I got back home, I started receiving texts and calls.I have updated software and it has not helped at all.

My Blackberry 8520 is now showing email messages of 1 month only. I have checked the email setting which is configured to "keep messages" as Forever. Earlier on the same device i was able to see all the email which i have got thorughout year. Phone has 97814897 Bytes memory Free.
I'm trying to update my software from my Curve8900 and it said it would take up to 2 hours.. That was 5 hours ago and it's only at 3%. I took the battery out to see if I could escape this but it won't work. No matter what I do it just continues to go back to this software update.
I recently had to rebuild my desktop machine, I have used v4.5 for a long, long time on my old 8320.I've searched Blackberry's web site for the old desktop software - the download section lists only the newer versions, it even has a link to find old versions, but that link doesn't actually deliver old versions that I can find. Anybody have a link to the v4.5 desktop?(I need the old version, I run backups of my phone on the old Windows 2000 machine, which newer Desktop versions don't run on.)
I've got a Blackberry Curve 8320 and I was doing an update on blackberry desktopmanager then suddenly my usb came off and some error came and whever I try toturn on my blackberry the red light keeps blinking and whever I plug my usb tothe computer it comes as unkown device. Is my blackberry completely dead? Btw Ican't connect it to the computer and I've tried pulling out the battery.
The phone will connect to my router fine and I can access the page (192.168.0.1) without problems, but I can't connect to anything on the internet. However once or twice google.com has worked for about 5 mins and that is it. I have tried battery pull lots of times and have wiped the device.In the diagnostics it says: 'Wireless or ISP network error' or 'DNS server cannot be reached'.I've tried manual settings and using hotspot browser. Also I have used 4 different routers and have had the same error. Also the Wi-Fi shows a yellow circle with a white line through the middle (unlike green for mobile network)The phone has been with Orange in the past with my dad's work, but is now pay as you go with Tesco. Is there anything I need orange to do to get my Wi-Fi to work?
Where can I get a description of the face of my 8320? I see things on the face screen that I do not know what they are. I have printed out the huge owners guide but nowhere in it is a picture of the face with a legend.
I have a bb 8330 and I noticed that it takes forever to send pictures, and I mean forever. Probably about 2 minutes. Dont let me send more than one mms or email with pics at a time because it may take about 10 minutes for them all to send. This has never happened with my old palm centro, where sending a pic was instant. Just curious if something is wrong with my device, or is this normal.
1) I was looking at my buddies phone, and his keyboard doesn't light up. Is there a setting somewhere? Or is it possible this its just not working properly? I've owned plenty of bb's but never ran into this before. So I'm thinking something is wrong with the phone.
2) Is there a way to toggle between 2 profiles? I know how to do it with other bb's, but I can't figure it out on his phone.
