BB Curve 83xx :: Connecting USB Directly To BB
Feb 8, 2010
I've searched and couldn't come up with what I needed. It may be there but it's hidden in the deepest corners of the forum. I'm fairly new to blackberry use in general but had a quick question.Does anybody know of a way to connect a usb device (thumb drive, card reader, so on) to their bb for use out and about.
The reason I ask is because I am a newspaper photographer and thought it would be great in deadline situations where I'm away from the office to have the ability to download photos from my camera's memory card onto my BB and send them to our photo desk for processing.I understand the simplest solution would probably to shoot photos using a micro SD card adapter in my camera then putting the microSD into my BB, but I probably could have driven to work in the time it takes my BB to come back on after pulling the battery.

I've got a Blackberry Curve, 8330 (v4.5.0.191) (Platform 3.4.0.62), currently have Facebook 1.9.0.28 installed, running fine. I've gotten a notification saying Facebook 2.0 is available, but I cannot download it for some reason. I go to the "Options" setting within Facebook, "Check for Upgrade," get a notification saying there's one available, etc. Click the "Yes" button to perform the update, which opens the BlackBerry Browser. The page ends up being blank. The page address is url...
Have tried various emulation modes with the BlackBerry browser, as well as trying to get -somewhere- using Opera, which is also installed on my phone with no avail. I have no cord to sync my phone to my computer and do it that way, as I moved and a few things were misplaced.I've gone through the Blackberry App World, although it shows that the newest version is 1.9.0.28, even though I know there was a recent release. My phone is entirely up to date, as far as OS and everything else goes.Is there a place I could download the .jar/.jad file directly?

I have OS 6 on a blackberry curve 9300. I am wondering if there is any way to download pictures from my newsfeed without having to go to the mobile site through my browser. I would also like to know if there is an easier way to update my profile picture than to upload it, go to it and choose it. As well, is there a way to tag photos after they have been uploaded via my blackberry?

No Browser is running and I dont have any apps. I was on the phone for 15 min and my battery was half dead when I got off. Was never like that before. I've had this phone for almost 2 years. The same thing is happening with the rest of my families Blackberrys. Why is this?

I was given a BB Curve 8310 to attempt a repair. When I attach the USB cable to the BB the system tray does not pop up with a notification that says "found new hardware" like it normally does when you plug a BB in. When the phone boots up it displays error msg " JVM Error 513". I attempted to looking into the device by using "cracmem" and "JL_Cmder" and no data is to be found and thus there is nothing to wipe. I suspect that the device has already been wiped thus the no data. I have pulled the battery from the phone and reinstalled; unplugged the usb cable during the BB boot process and nothing is happening. The DM application loader will not allow me to procede due to computer not recognizing the BB device thus it is not generating the "USB:UNKNOWN".

I installed the BB desktop manager for Mac yesterday, and this morning connected to remove some apps, create some space, and install all the updates. In the process of this it mysteriously just stopped doing anything right after it said "database cannot be backed up" and shut off. Now it's flashing red twice, pausing for about 2 seconds, and repeating the flashing. I pulled the battery and sim even though I was sure that wouldn't do anything, plugged it back into my laptop, plugged it into the wall both with and without the battery, and nothing has changed. The desktop manager doesn't not recognize the device at all.
I'm using a Curve 8330. Is there anything I can do or am I screwed totally? Also, and I know this is a long shot, but what are the odds that I can restore the device and save the data that's on it?

I've had my 8330 Curve with Verizon since November 2008. Very happy with it. I also happen to still be using OS 4.3.0.127 (202), which is what the unit came loaded with. I never bothered upgrading because I would always hear of people having issues or DM only backing up your contacts and not your apps, lower music volume, etc. I don't really need Docs To Go, but HTML e-mail would be nice and the biggest thing is trying to improve these BBM delays I constantly get when trying to send a message. I'm thinking an upgrade to the latest BBM might help change that.
Of course, in order to do that, I need to upgrade to 4.5. So I've decided to do it, but not before I ask for feedback here. I've scanned dozens of other threads here, all with varying opinions. It's been long enough. Is it wise to do this and, if so, what is the latest OS for VZW (is it .138)? What risks am I really running here? Need a reality check on this.

I don't know if this is possible or not so I thought I would ask here, is it possible to alter the way the menu functions in the blackberry curve? in example, what I want to do is like when I send a sms text message and when I hit the trackball and the menu options come up, the send button is highlighted, and what I would like do is modify it so that the check spelling is highlighted first and then send button is right below it, is it possible to do this or is this an internal Blackberry Software modification?

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 know that closing applications properly will optimize battery use. When I check to see what applications are running, I always see: Call Log, Browser, Home Screen, and Messages. Must those four always run, or is there a way to close any of them?

Long story short, I just cracked the screen on my storm1 so I'm activating my old 8330. I'm trying to find out what the best 8330 OS is. I've searched and can't find anything.

I remember seeing something but I'm not sure anymore. That your DM needs to match your OS or something?
Except that, I wanna tether with my BB (Yes I have a plan for it) and on my provider web page, they say I need DM 5.0 EXCEPT that I have a 8310 and I'm on OS 4.5

When I bought my first computer in 1998, it was a used Dell. The specs were 378 Mhz processor, 128MB of ram and a puny little hard drive. Couldn't do graphics worth a dang. It froze up less than my Curve.

So I got a blackberry curve 8300 (never been used) the other day and I have modified my contract with o2 so i have the unlimited blackberry data bolt on. I can access BB messenger no problem and have been chatting away, but I can't go on the web because there is no browser on the phone. how the heck do I solve this problem? How do I get the browser on the blackberry? Obviously I'll need a browser for emails and facebook and twitter, or even to download the apps for these.

When 160 characters are reached can the BB go on to a second message? With some SMS programs I can continue typing, but each message isa only 160 characters. The receipitent with get a message saying 1/4 or something like that.

I know that "Boost" Mobile has the 5.0 os on their version of their 8330, and yes I know Boost is technically under sprint, but what I dont understand is why sprint hasnt taken the time to upgrade the os on their 8330!
Its not like we can just go out and purchase new phones @ retail when they decide to neglect the older models. But im not crying about it, would just love to know why.
Doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me. A prepaid phone is running better and more upto date software than my contract phone! Go Figure!

I just got a 8310 for free and she told me she went to use it one day and it stopped working. Like she couldnt hit any buttons or anything, she can scroll but thats it. So I was thinking about trying to wipe it and re-installing a newer OS. I have not done this for this type of phone.

So yeah, my wives 8310 battery reports between 50-100% charge, and if she is in a call, bam it shuts off, and will only turn back on, on charger. I would think it was battery BUT; this happened every day while in California, we went to South Carolina for the holidays (whole month of december), and it happened only once.OS is up to date, I upgraded to latest to make sure that wasn't the issue, happened following day (in Cali)and battery is 2 y/o. Anyone ever hear of this anomaly?

I have A Curve 8330 with Sprint and have A alarm that goes off at 430 and 1030 AM and PM. I have looked at the calendar and the alarm its self and can't find out why. I tried taking it to the Sprint store and they found nothing. It all seemed to start after RIM did A update.
