A friend just got a T-Mo Curve for free and I've been looking for the latest greatest OS, Beta or otherwise, to help him upgrade to. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It looks like .187 is the latest official build. Any Betas that are better?
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?
whereever the experts think is best. I want to sync my phone with yahoo so I will have my address book always updated. Because I had to wipe my phone last week and lost just about everything (had some address book on my KATANA to download what was there).I just now did a fresh back up of my device. (however I got a message that says : Error Backing up DataBase [profiles}6 of 8 entries retrieved.
all the new messages appear at the bottom...even when i save pictures, i cant find the newest picture on the top of the screen...how to turn it back to normal?

I have a bb curve 8520 last week I had an upgrade to facebook available to download which I did. It went through all the motions ok and then at the end it came up with the usuall t/c's to confirm so i clicked on " I agree" and thats where it has stuck ? So now I have no fb on my phone . Can someone please tell me how to take fb off so I can have a go at re-installing again.( I went to a o2 store yesterday and their guru told me he didnt know how to do it either.
install latest software update manually on my curve 9220, as I have 7.1.0.1137 Os installed default and got updated OS from blackberry website. I have downloaded and installed it on my system but dont know how to install it on the device.
Im new here and to the crackberry community,i just got a bb 8320 with prepaid unlimited talk data and text for 60 a month, with the carrier called simplemobile which is basically under t mobile.im tryna use to my bbm to send pin messages, but how do i set up my pin to be active? right now it says in active.

I get a message telling me to send a log to Blackberry support (Synchronisation error. A program error occurred at line 140 in .Error.cpp. report this error by sending a log to technical support) when the calendar sync fails (using latest software). Only problem is, I can find no way of doing this from the support pages.
I have tried several times to update the BlackBerry App World software on my Blackberry Curve 8520. But the update has not happened.I have connected my mobile to the desktop and Connection to smart phone is successful. It did show my PN on the Browser. Updation of the App World Software just goes on without any info that it is complete. I left the device for the whole day.So I am unable to download any software on my blackberry device.
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
I just finished the download. Dont know whats different about it. Anything major? The PRL version is 60659 so perhaps I will get a better reception in previous weak areas with this new update, I dont know. How can I delete the old os again?
My new 8330 Curve has : 22787889 bytes file free.I am not running any third party apps.I have Memory Cleaner enabled. I have done Batter Pull and reboot.Is this low? I read somewhere on crackberry that this was considered to be very low.
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.
