Me and my daughter both have the 8900 Blackberry. Mine is fine for a year and a half now.My daughter just received a free replacement for her broken one last week. It was probably refurbished because it was free. Anyway, when she types SMS text the letter O or E comes out after almost every keystroke. It's very fustrating. I had her re-boot, had her remove auto-text, etc. It's still happening.
Does anyone have a possible solution or is it a defective phone?
I have not been able to getting any txt messages all day. Rebooted I dont know how many times and each time this error comes up Uncaught Exception: java.lang.nullpointerexception Yes called tmobile. didnt get anywhere they just want to wipe my phone.
My text message history is empty. I got my friend to text me, and I received it. It didn't appear in the history, but I went to Search and typed in his name. And it came up, unopened.But when I go back to the original SMS history, it's not there. Nothing is there.
First ever Blackberry after only using Nokia's and must say find it hard work/slow. My mate has been winding me up and bombarding me with loads of nonsense sms messages via his iphone as it takes seconds to send them. I know have 200 odd messages showing in my inbox but can only delete them individually
I upgraded from a MotoRazr2 V8 to a BlackBerry 8900 Curve so I wanted to transfer my data from the Moto to the BB. Well, I learned that Moto doesn't play nicely with Mac so my MacBook Pro was not much of a help. I had better luck with my HP running XP and managed to get the contacts switched without too much trouble.
The SMS records are another matter. I couldn't find a way to transfer them using BB Desktop Manager so I made a text file copy of them into a Windows folder I created. Two actually - one for inbox and one for sent items. Now I can't find a way to load those text files onto the Curve. I've tried every way I could think of using Desktop Manager but no dice. I would love a solution that does not require buying more software.
Is there a fix for this problem? If I read my messages first on my Blackberry and then later open Outlook - the message is coverted to plain text in Outlook.This is annoying when I usually reply to the messages from Outlook and want them to be in HTML format.
I keep getting texts from the following number 07800002015 it appears that this number is replacing the number the text was actually sent from. I am using vodaphone business account, anything i can do to stop this?
I have a little problem, if we can consider this a problem. When i receave a SMS from a friend X, my Blackberry lag (the screen doesn't change, for like 0.5 sec). But when I receave a SMS from let's say Y, it can take up to 5 to 10 seconds before the screen move or I can move with the track pad to see the message. It's annoying.
So here is what I think, Is this because.. : - I have over 35 000 SMS in the DB ? - I have like 100 SMS from X and 5000 from Y ? - My phone is on the vibrator but for Y he has a music ? - Is this OS 5 ? But he is faster then OS 4 and I updated a while ago ?

I just got a new Alltel Hue 2 and my GF has the doubletake and both of our phones do this. When you are texting with T9 is there a way to make the "0" cycle the words instead of having to select them from that popup menu?
While typing text either in emails or messages, I fail to see how to accept autocorrected entries via the virtual keyboard. On the hardware keyboard it is done by pressing > key (itself not very convenient), but I haven't found any way of doing it on the software keyboard.
I recently purchased a Nokia X6, and I found that texting can be rather difficult, its not like recent problems (Deleting message), when I start to text someone, I press the space key but sometimes it doesn't work which means its carry on the message without making a space in between ("Hihow areyou") <it goes something like that>
I just got the DX2 and have had it freeze on me when I'm typing on the keyboard. Initially, with the default keyboard settings, it would freeze on me whenever I put a space in between words after like the 3rd word typed. THEN, after removing the auto-correct function from the keyboard settings I solved that problem. Now, whenever I type a string of "!!!" or "..." it freezes the keyboard on me. The only way to get the phone back up is a reboot.
Secondly, I have received numerous duplicate text messages (as many as 7) of incoming texts from multiple different users in different areas of the country. I was in 3G coverage areas with excellent bars at the time so I'm not sure why this would happen. I also checked on this with my verizon bill and I'm being billed for these duplicate messages! NOT COOL.
I am currently using the BB Bold 9700. Unfortunately I have got a problem with the device concerning writing SMS (and sometimes also e-mails):When I get started writing a SMS everythings fine. But abruptly the cursor disappears and when I continue writing the text, it just does not appear on the screen. But "in the background" the text goes on, because after writing "blindly" I can send the whole message, even the first part I can see and even the second part which is written but not displayed.
When typing a text my screen will not rotate to the landscape position. My screen is unlocked and other applications will rotate (calculator, photos, etc.). This problem began after the last software upgrade.
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?
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've recently started getting a problem where my text message program freezes if my phone turns off the screen (i.e. me being inactive for a while). When I get back again it says I can either wait for it to respond or terminate the process. If I wait it unfreezes, but it is still very irritating that it happens every time.
And who's incredibly stupid idea was it to make long SMS messages into MMS-messages? I have problems with my messages not being sent properly, or being sent only partially, all the time. Is there any way to change back so it just adds more text messages instead of converting into MMS?
I use the standard text messaging program that came with my X10 mini pro, and I'd rather not switch since I found it quite good until after recent updates when I got these problems.
I'm unable to stop Haptic feedback(Vibrate) while typing text. I have tried with Menu > Settings > Sound > Haptic feedback(De-select). But still it vibrating while typing.

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.
