So I got my new Blackberry Curve 8530 two days ago with Virgin Mobile.I have the $35/month plan with UNLIMITED data, web, & text and 300 calling minutes.I love the phone but I've had a lot of issues with it:- When I download the Facebook app it says I don't have the data/service plan for it and I've even tried downloading the v1.6 via web instead of app world.- I tried to make a BIS account and it said it wasn't registered with the service and told me to do the whole host routing table thing and I did, I DID get the registration message and I tried to make a BIS again and it still doesn't work!- When I go to the Email Setup it only has the option for an enterprise account, and I want to use a personal account.- The blackberry maps isn't in any folders or on the homescreen but it is in the options>applications folder.* Also, the twitter app, Internet, and everything else work fine!I think that's all and I really want to know if you guys have any solutions and I really love this phone! I really want to know if it's a Virgin Mobile or Blackberry issue!
My bbm hasn't been working for a few days; whenever i try to send messages the tick comes up without the d (delivered) and whenever anyone tries to message me it comes up with a red cross.
For the last 3 days 3G on my new iPhone 4 hasn't been working, until 10 minutes ago, I finally managed to get it working by changing the APN settings in cellular data network, from = idata.o2.co.uk, to = mobile.o2.co.uk, what it used to be, but doing this didn't only fix my 3G service it has also activated Internet tethering (which I don't pay for).
Would someone other people please try this to confirm it, come back and post your results
I jailbreaked my iPhone for a couple of months ago and ever since, my voicemail hasn't been working. I Can still Call my voicemail and check for messages, but no new messages, always the same. I tried calling my phone several times from a couple of my friends phones but my phone just keeps calling until i refuse the Call or until the caller hangs up. It wont transfer the caller to my voicemail :/ extremly annoying.
I've upgraded from my original OS to 5.0.0.411 (i think) at the start of the year with no problems. Two days ago I attempted the upgrade to .681 which was fine, but I'm not keen on the update as the UMA isn't working properly, so I want to downgrade.
So last night I managed to get back to the original OS 4.? (I was having probs with a straight forward downgrade to another OS5) and tried to upgrade to the Vodafone Italy (I'm on Orange UK) but it wasn't being recognised with the Desktop Blackberry software (vendor file was deleted), although when I went into the upgrade part on the app loader, it did appear there, but with an asterisk saying I had to be registered with Blackberry to be eligible for the upgrade (or something like that). I attempted the upgrade but the software wouldn't allow it.
I removed that software and tried with the Wind release, but again the desk top software didn't recognise it.I tried the .681 release again and the upgrade worked fine
I would really like to go back to a stable OS where the UMA works. Any ideas how to do it with the Vodafone Italy release? Or am I being blocked somehow as I'm registered to Orange UK? If so does anyone have a link to download another earlier release that is stable and not carrier associated?
I've had my Blackberry Curve for over a year and it used to be that when I would compose an email I would start typing in a contact name in "TO:" and it would automatically insert the email address I have stored for that contact. It no longer does this. Even if I manually enter the complete email address, there is no "send" function on the menu any longer It worked fine until recently. Now I cannot compose email with my phone due to this problem.
my blackberry curve 9300 seems to require a reboot after sometime when I'm using a facebook/ twitter/ whatsapp to get it to work or else a pop will appear saying, "you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application. If you want to use this application please contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan.".I do not have a BIS plan but I am able to get into BB App World, Facebook app, twitter app, whatsapp app through WiFi but the pop up appears after more or less an hour and leads me having to reboot by blackberry to get it to work again. It is getting quite annoying.PS: I already tried registering HRT but I received nothing and my clock is set to automatic update. My current app version is 6.0.0.600 (2647) and all apps are updated to the latest version.
The signal on my blackberry has been very poor of late, and pretty sure its my phone rather than network. The signal is pretty much always on EDGE or GSM where the internet does not work, as well as Apps such as Facebook and Twitter, and do not receive my messages/BBM's and can't make calls at time - the call just fails- so I'm guessing there's something wrong with my signal of the phone.
I've had my blackberry just over a month and I've looked after it, not dropped it, not damaged it in anyway.It was working fine this morning, then when I went to scroll up, it wouldn't work.I thought it had crashed so to check I pressed the red button and that worked. I realised I could scroll left and right but not up and down.So I took the battery out and resetted it then out of curiosity I just a dry wipe over the trackpad and it worked perfectly. So I tried my jumper and same again, the track pad worked perfectly, then when I use my thumb + finger, nothing, just left and right again.I rebooted it again, and still...the same.Why is it not working? (btw, I tried changing sensitivity and its still not working)
I have a bb curve 8330 and the trackball is not working properly, it will not allow me to scroll down only up and side to side I cannot answer emails or turn my alarm off
my web browser is not working properly in curve 8520. whenever i open any site my scroll button doesn't work or push on the search tab. scroll button technically working. but on the web browser it doesn't work. e.g on facebook it doesn't press login button. and doesn't press the search button on google.

It has gained a number of problems.The unlock button on the top has stopped working - sometimes it wont unlock or lock and it unlocks itself when i dont press itmy scroller doesn't work all the time, especially when i'm in BBMWhen i press the keys, sometimes the letters don't come upI cannot press the alt key and another key at the same time so i cannot get the punctuation i wantPlease give me some advice on my issues,

Have been working on this for a few days--Visual Voicmail is not working properly. I don't get notification of voicemails, and the only way I know if I have a vm is if i call it??? Never had this problem before, and I had the older blackberry curve--I spent and hour and a half on the phone with sprint, and nothing, returned the phone because they told me to, then I bought the same model, vm worked for a day,. then is now doing the same thing!!!! I am so frustrated--I have done wipes, settings, everything, u name it. have reset everything possible, and called sprint repeatedly--they said there was some outage?
my wifi was working very well and accessed all the applications of the BB if the service was not working ,, but now it is just connected but doesn't want to access any application unless the BB service is working .
when i am on the dialer or a text and i hit the back arrow next to the track pad or the end but it places a B if i hit the back arrow or a P if i hit the end button.
I got my new Blackberry Curve 9360 Yesterday. After my activation completed, Everything worked fine, Including BBM. Last night my fone turned to GSM signal due to weather and this morning, everything is working except Blackberry Messenger. I can receive BBM messages but the ones I send does not go through. Whatsapp, Email and Facebook is working, it is Only BBM that does not deliver messages to my contacts.
My scroll button doesn't appear to be working properly. Everytime I try and scroll up it goes down and sometimes it doesn't work at all and seems to be stuck.
I am using curve 9320 blackberry handset. I found a new type of problem while using the data transfer via Bluetooth (BTh). If I wish to transfer the data to the sama model i.e. 9320 to 9320 it works fine but as soon as i wish to transfer the data from my 9320 to BB curve 8520 the data transferred failed. On the same time the data from 8520 BB curve to 9320 is nicely transferred on my curve 9320.
I have a blackberry tour as well as a curve 8530/20 for verizon. I have trapster downloaded on both my tour and my curve from blackberry app world. On my tour it connects and everything works fine. On my curve it constantly is looking for a connection and it wont follow me. I have gps set location on under options and did everything I think i need to get it to work.
last night i dropped my phone and the battery popped out. Upon reinstalling the battery and resetting the device, my keyboard started acting strangely, numbers letters i didn't press would appear on the screen. I went on to reset the device again by pulling out the battery. When i turned the device back on, the keyboard was unresponsive, and only the scroll square would work, but without the button function. I've tried blowing out the any dust
I'm trying to get whatsapp on my blackberry curve 8530 but it's not working.I've installed the blackberry app world browser but then when I try to connect my phone it says 'An error has occurred communicating with the BlackBerry App World Web plugin. Please restart your device and try again.
The letter key "L" will not work when pressed, and seems like there is some sort of delay with that letter. Sometimes when it is pressed, it does compute the letter but multiple time and with about a 5 second delay. Most of the time it won't work at all.Now, the trackpad also does not work right. It will scroll up ,down,left, and right at home screen, but will not do any of that in the BB menu or apps like Facebook. I can use it properly in the viewing of scent calls and viewing of recent texts. But once I open a text I cannot scroll again.There is a way around all that, if I hold down the alt key I can scroll again, but of course my letter al is not working.
Your carrier: SPRINT Model info and OS version: Curve 8530 5.0 Bundle 1675 (just upgraded)
Apps and free space File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 106575952 Did a battery pull fix your issue?: No Apps installed and their version if possible. (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): None Scroll pad works on and off, will not work on some menus. E key will work sometimes, usualt types an upper case E and not a lower case, will not type 2 E's in a row. Works ok when typing a 2. There were some other buttons giving issues a while ago and then it all went away and now this just started again out of nowhere. I tried backing up / wiping the phone, upgraded to the latest software and it is still giving me issues. The phone has never been exposed to any sort of moisture, I don't even use it in the rain.Another issue, possibly related, possibly not is that I get 1 vertical line and 1 horizontal line in my photos I take. This started out happening sometimes and not other times but now it is constant.
For some reason the track pad on my Curve 8530 with verizon stopped working yesterday. I can move it up and down and side to side on the home screen, but if I try to open an application like facebook, bbm or even sound profiles, it will not move up and down. When I try to get to the main menu to do a hard reset of the phone, the trackpad will not move at all. I can go up & down, left and right in messages and e-mail applications that is on my home screen, but when I try to access those applications in the main menu it won't respond. I've tried battery pulls and entering safe mode with no results. I tried cleaning it with a business card. I took it to verizon who said they didn't know what to do. PLEASE HELP! I got this phone a month ago from a friend in perfect condition as a replacement and can't afford to get another one!
