After the last update, I noticed that a lot of SMS items that I had been keeping deliberately were lost and only the latest ones remained. I have two questions: 1- Is there a way I can retrieve them? 2- Why the people who designed the update take the liberty to delete messages without warning?
I have an 8900 that I wire sync to Outlook 2003 on my PC. Have calendar dates back to 2000. It will sync but alwasy wants to delete things in 2000 and now 2001. So I have to fish them out of the deleted items in Outlook and put them back. Memory seems to be fine on the BB and settings are "forever" and "two way sync."
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.
I cannot update my calendar items from my pc to device and vice versa. It suggests changing default but I am not able to do this. I was able to complete these tasks before the RIM collapse but not sure if this is related.
I am in West Africa for a while and have a UK network which has worked fine. I upgraded my software when i connected to the device manager and installed. Since then i have been unable to get any emails. I usually use my WI-FI connection, which is till working but i cant get onto FaceBook or emails it just says no data connection available. I can send text messages and make calls but no emails!! its drove me mad so i reverted back to the old version from my Data backup and installed that, thinking this would help, but it still hasn't. I have never had this problem before. I tried to take out the battery and chip but nothing. (not sure what i was version i was updating but the phone says V5.0.0.592) if that means anything!! Thanks in advance to those clever people!
I have just upgraded my BB 8900 to OS 5.0 for the first time and inadvertently backup was not taken, i have lost all my data including huge contacts information.
My friend lost his blackberry 8900. He canceled his contract with TMobile so the phone was SOS. The phone was insured but since the contract was canceled they won't honor it. Is there anyway he can retrieve his contacts in the Desktop Manager? He backed it up all of the time Is the contacts in a file on the computer that he can read? thanks in advance. I looked in the loader back up IPD files and all I see is a lot of jibberish. But no contacts.
I lost all of my contacts after i downloaded the 5.0 OS from the forums. How would i be able to get them back without having to manually add them back into my phonebook? I thought it would have automatically saved my numbers to my sim card.
i recently updated my phone to os 5.411 and got the new bb messenger .57. i noticed the other day that the "recent Updates" section has gone and i cant get it back. i have checked the majority of options and uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing can brings it back.
I have lost the SMS text icon overnight and the ability to receive and identify SMS messages. I removed the battery and all the obvious re-boot operations. But I have got the following message "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointer Exception". Does this mean anything to anyone and is there an easy way to reinstate the facility?
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.
it seems with my new 8900 i picked up i cannot update to any os other than stock 4.6 ver(.231) or downgrade to(.114) to any other version. I have reinstalled dm to the current version and still nothing. I have download multiple new 5.0 os(.348-.411) and deleted the vendor file and when i plug the berry in after installation it goes to check for a update and it does not find any. If you then try to go thru dm and update software it only has those two older versions listed even though i installed the newer ones.
I just did an upgrade from OS 5.0.0.411 to 5.0.0.461 by wiping the old OS with JL_Cmder. After installing the new OS, I lost all my third party program including the -what I thought should be the default applications- memopad, task, password keeper, and documents togo. I dont care about the other third party applications, but how do I get back my memopad, task, password keeper, and documents togo ??Please I need help badly, I keep my important infos in those applications.
I went to update my software direct from my phone and now my phone keeps rebooting and will not finish updating. My carrier is ATT. I have tried taking out the battery and it keeps doing it. I'm not sure where to go from here.
My BlackBerry 8900 refuses to acknowledge software v5.0 let alone download it!My handset is currently running v4.6 .. when I try to download v5.0 it tells me there are no updates available yet the BlackBerry website tells me my phone is compatible with v5.0!
I wanted to update my device software (currently v4.6.1) to the v5.0. However when i try to run the update it tells me i must have a data plan. Do you think/know if it is possible to activate my data plan for, lets say, a month, install the new version, and then deactivate de data plan and keep using the v5.0 with no problems? (has anyone tried this?) (is it worth the update?) (is it worth the risk?)
I'm trying to update my device software. There is new software that's available for my BB 8900 but my wireless provider has the older version v4.6.1.250 I've tried to download from the BB website but fails to do so. Has anybody updated their curve 8900?
I'm trying to update my BB 8900 from 4.6.1 to 5 but am getting some errors. I get as far as the available versions ( using IE9 ) and i select 5.0 Bundle 1682 and I get the following error
There was an error updating your software This BlackBerry® Device Software upgrade includes new features and significant enhancements to the BlackBerry® solution and, as such, is only available to users with an active BlackBerry subscription. To learn more about BlackBerry® service, [URL]. Now I'm registered with BB. I have been using the desktop manager to try and update also but also getting errors. I havent unplugged the battery, and the laptop I'm using is a vista machine 32bit with loads of hard drive and loads of ram. I dont know what i'm doing wrong, I thought or figured it should be a pretty easy process.
Also I have downloaded "8900M_PBr5.0.0_rel1682_PL5.2.0.104_A5.0.0.1036_Vodafone_Ireland" and ran this but still now update.
I was having some problems with my xperai x10 mini pro sd card and had to format it recently unaware of the consequences i formatted it and now my phone doesn't have its default items such as photos,videos,alarm sounds,and other sounds and how to restore these.
I have a 8900 on AT&T and i am using a iMac computer. I recently updated my desktop software and then it told me i have an update available for my 8900. I went ahead a performed a backup before and then the update started. It failed and the phone is now stuck on a the Blackberry Platform 4.2.0.108. I cant get out of it and when ever i click a app a message appears Quote:
I downloaded the .681 os or whatever the sticky up top was.... I deleted the vendor file from common files, it hen load the desktop manager and click app loader and it says there is no available update? Any reason why? I have never updated this before, I'm running 4.6.1.231....
I had my curve 8900 for about a month now and I currently have the 4.6.1.231 OS. I wanted to know when I would receive an update for a newer OS version. How long would it take to get this upgrade?
I am having problems with my BB Curve 8900 updating FB posts and posts from others in my group. It doesn't show the entire screen and when I "refresh" the device, it takes me back to one post that was last week and uses that as my home page.
I've been using a daily horoscope program with no problem since I first got my phone a few months ago. Today when I went to use it, it told me an update was available, so I choose to accept the update. When it asked if I wanted to reboot/restart the phone now or later, I selected now. The phone proceeded to update the software and now I can't use my phone at all.
I tried connecting my phone to my computer so I could restore it, but desktop manager says it can't communicate with my phone. And when I plug in the power cord, my phone doesn't even register that it's charging up. So, since so much of my life is connected to my phone, and I can't use my phone at all, I'm squirming. Of course, AT&T online tech support is closed Sundays; I guess nobody else has a phone emergency on Sundays. All I get is a white screen that tells me to reload software.
After the update downloaded and while my two email accounts linked to my Blackberry still show up under email setup (under setup icon), I'm no longer getting emails. One email (gmail) icon shows up on my main screen but my other email acccount icon is gone. I thought I'd setup my emails again but when I go into email setup, both account addresses are there and both asking for a password (?). I even tried to change the password but, when I use the help instructions how to do this, there is no menu items for what the help suggests I try. I can't even delete the email addresses to try again.
i just installed the desktop software on my mac and accidentally updated not realising this would cause me to lose my contacts, have looked for an ipd file but can't find anything can anyone please point me in the right direction.
