I have a BB 8900. I use it for emails, some browsing, Instant messenging.Lately it's been running really really slowly. Even when I'm conneced to home wifi emails and messages can take 5 mins to transmit from my device. Instant BB messages take 5 mins to float away.Connecting to some internet sites is now impossible - I think I might get timed out. But I can still get Google.I installed a new Facebook app last week - do you think this might be the cause?? Or is it my home internet service?? I live in the country and the bandwith might be the problem?
I know sometimes I hit the end button instead of closing windows and that leaves them open. I know there's a way to find out what's open and close everything to make the phone less sluggish but I have no idea how to do it.
Since upgrading to ver 5 OS, my 8900 has been running very slow. Can't figure out if it's a memory issue (there's 24MB of main memory remaining...the storage card has 822MB remaining).It's starting to affect calls received - The ringer is very slow in starting....and my call goes into voicemail before I can answer it!
few days I got BB 8900 , and i bought Trust Bluetooth Adapter, when I install drivers for bluetooth it was normal sending ( normal speed ) I transfer song (5Mb) in 10 sec .. but now when in try 2 transfer song it took me about 6-7 hours .. is it problem with transfer speed , i saw that somewhere on my BB or my laptop, but i cant find it now can some1 tell me is that because that speed, or something alse.. If its because that, can some1 tell me where can I change that.. 10x
Almost everything about my BB is perfect - for now BUT: I noticed that since a few weeks? ago my agenda view is acting weird. It's very slow when opening (-20sec delay). I read about a few other people having this issue but neither of them got the issue resolved. A few facts I noticed:
- when I enable "Show free time in Agenda" it gets a lot snappier, but it ruins the whole view for it fills the whole display.
- I have 4 calendars ("Default", Facebook, >>BIS-email-address<<, >>normal email-address<<)
- I keep the appointments forever, but there's only about 200 of them
- All other views work flawlessly
I hope you guys have a few suggestions as to how to resolve this - for me - huge problem.I can't tell when this started exactly but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the OS I'm running (.509), otherwise most of you guys would have this problem, too
edit:
I already tried to: - delete all the calendar data and resynchronize completely (I actually reflashed the whole phone) - delete all the recurring appointments (birthdays etc.)
The agenda view is fast and responsive if all the calendars are empty
I had an 8310 and just bought an 8900 brand new off of eBay. I used the 8310's speakerphone A LOT for listening to music and loved it! I always took the back of the phone off too so that it wasn't coming through 2 little holes through the top. Is the sound quality and volume of the 8900 equal to or greater than the 8300 with its batter door off?
My phone has gotten to where when I am typing a text message it'll get so slow and almost freeze up and just stop and I got to wait and let it come back before I finish. I am running .131 on my Alltel 8330. Also, the 507 error I believe it is, happens to me a lot & I have had to completely reinstall the whole OS so many times. My battery doesn't really last very long at all. It doesn't compare to many that I hear about & my signal just isn't that great. Sometimes it runs good & won't really be that slow or lag but these past couple days it has been lagging bad & even with scrolling. Memory is NOT an issue I can reboot up with 45 & it'll go down to around 39 throughout the day.
I've tried .127 OS that my phone came with, used .131, used a hybrid before and tried .169 but the notification problem is too annoying.
Just got myself a BB 8900, however it dosent seem to have any device memory, i have looked under memory in the options menu and it doesnt say anything about device memory and when i connect it to my PC i cannot find the phone on my computer unless i have a memory card pluged in,

I recently purchased a blackberry 8900 and am trying to upgrade the software to the newest version (5.0 I assume). However whenever I check for updates via the blackberry site the desktop manger pops up and does not offer this upgrade. All it says it 4.6.1 (current) and the rest are downgrades, so I'm not quite sure what I need to do to get the new OS to even appear, much less download it and work.
Hello everyone, i have a serious problem with updating my OS. am currently using the 4.6v and i want to update it to v5.0 but every time i try to update it from desktop manager it seems that it cant find the files to update it, it just show the old version4.6 and i tried download the update from many websites and it still doesn't want to show it on the Desktop manager. And when i tried the application loader it says the i have the latest software and its still v4.6
I have the BlackBerry Curve 8900 for AT&T and I have recently noticed that there is a 5.0 Update for basically the most recent BlackBerry's that have came out and I wanted to know if I will be able to get this 5.0 Update because it looks much better then the regular Version you get when you get the BlackBerry Curve 8900.
what is the difference between 8900 trackball and 9000 trackball.and what if i have installed 9000 trackball in my 8900.In fact 9000 trackball is bit smother and crispier,can i use it on 8900
For the last two weeks my curve is showing I have 6 unread email messages yet I have none.I searched the forum and it's not call logging as I had that turned off.Anybody have an idea what's causing this? I have double checked all my email accounts all to know avail.
I'm trying to set up a yahoo email account on a Curve 8900 running OS 4, but when I go to Setup and Email Settings, all I get is the message "Your device had a problem connecting to the server". I'm based in Ireland and have eircom broadband. My wireless router is a Netopia with WEP encryption but no authentication (Open security).
I recently bought the 9300 3G phone thinking that I would have at least decent speeds using the net, but sometimes pages don't load at all, I can't be waiting almost 5 minutes for just the homepage of facebook to load for example, I haven't got alot of memory used or anything like that as I only bought it 2 days ago.
Was there anything that I was upposed to do before using the net, like tweaking some settings or something?? I'm using software 6 by the way. Obviously for me BlackBerry has been a bit of a disappointment
So i got a new blackberry curve 9360 for Christmas but recently it has gotten very slow and most of the time when i try to unlock it nothing will happen for a good few minutes and then the phone will unlock like it has frozen. I havent dropped it or anything yet and the only apps i have are the ones that came with it like google and facebook and then the bbm.
Noticed that i could only send and receive plain messages and that my gmail screen was frozen with 2 conversations on it that I could not open.I am managing with messages, but also device has gone very slow.
Is it the case that with a free hotmail account I can not have 2 way sync with my Blackberry Curve. What if I upgrade to a subscription Hotmail account? Or is it just not possible?
if I go onto the internet to download music my BB runs very slow and the download fails...is it my BB or my network...and is the hotspot browser also on my BIS or does this use data?
So my phone has been like this for a few weeks now. I click on something, and it takes it a while to actually go to the screen I want it to. or I try and scroll and it takes it a while before it moves to the thing I want it to. Sometimes when I call someone and I get their voicemail and I don't want to leave a message, I try to hit the end button and it doesn't end it right away. It is driving me crazy! ?
I got a new Blackberry 8520 2 months ago, ever since I have got it, it has been going so slow. I have no idea what has happened, as I had the exact same model before, just a different device..I have tried clearing the event log, and using the memory cleaner..I have no apps, other than facebook, and BBM..
My phone is so slow when I am texting. I have to wait for the letters to appear on the screen. Scrolling is also very slow. What could be causing this?
I m using Vodafone connection for my blackberry. My browsing speed is very slow, so sites are unable to open because of connection timeout & unable to download the songs from the sites(download failed)...
