View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a BB Curve 8900 and I need to back up to move the data to an iPhone4 and backing up is not clear;I am on a macbook pro, latest itunes, desktop manager, etc.Syncing the contacts and backing up the curve works, but I have Entourage on my mac. It won't sync the contacts and emails. So I can back up the curve contact list to the apple address book, export it and then import into the iphone.But it doesnt touch the contacts in Entourage. So my contacts are not accurate I use this for work and have hundreds of contacts, thousands of emails.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an 8900 Curve, and have been using Wifi to connect to the internet, in my home and everywhere else I go. I'm in Mexico using Telcel. You don't need a plan just to connect to the internet, that's what WiFi is for. It just stopped connecting the other day for some reason. The wifi icon does not appear at the top. I have the browser set to HotSpot, it's the only option actually, I set the TCP/IP APN to the Mexican settings (you can do that here: http://www.blackberrytune.com/blackberry-tcp-ip-apn-settings/), but still nothing!WTF is wrong with this POS!
View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen trying to connect my device GPS and Google maps for months now but to no avail. I get either GPS is Temporarily unavailable or it says Waiting on GPS.... I've been outside, in the middle of a soccer field still nothing.
The GPS is obviously working because I have geotagging for some of my apps set to use GPS rather the cell tower.
My particulars....8900, with .610, Google Map v4.02 and yes I have done battery pulls. Im in Barbados on Digicel network, I called and asked if they blocked GPS, "Whats GPS"
Just recently I bought a Blackberry Curve 8900 with tmobile. Now here is the thing, I dont have a data plan of any kind with tmobile. So when I bought the phone I insterted my phone and booted it up. Checked with my seller to make sure it made a phone call... it did. So I knew for sure my SIM card was working just fine....
When I got home, the first thing I did was connect to my wireless network.. using Wi-Fi.. obviously. And from there I went to the Setup Wizard and went through each step. When I got to the Email portion, It gave me two options, I dont remember both but one of them was "set up email through blackberry enterprise server".. or something like that. I was aware that I didnt have a data plan, so I clicked the second option. I went through the process and had EMAIL... through WIFI. I even sent my self email messages to make sure it was working and have proof that i recieved email and sent emaily to myself and others!!! without a data plan.This is what i expected.. i didnt know that this wasnt supposed to happen? and that blackberrys customers were only able to get email if they had a blackberry data plan?Well, naturally i figured everything else would work on a wif connection.. like the iphone. Even though you dont have the 3G data plan one can still access email, web, and aps. So anways, all the apps communicated with the wifi network and my web browser viewed pages on a wireless network.
Then my myfaves dissapeard and gave a java encoding script error or something. So what do i do? i call tmobile and spend hours troubleshooting. Eventually i am able to restore or update my OS with a PC and get my mfaves back. But now my ap world ap wont start and tells me that i need a data plan.. next its my web browser that tells me the same thing, as well as facebook. I am like what is going on?!. AND then when I try to set up email... there is only one option... and thats "setup email through a blackberry enterprise server"..if you took the time to read this.. why in the world did everything stop working with wi fi and out of nowhere asked me to use a blackberry data service plan?
I'm using curve 8900 right now. However, I accidentally wipe my handheld yesterday. Thus I tried to update my firmware (the following one)
BlackBerry Handheld Software v5.0.0.1168 (All Languages)
Consisting of:
Applications: 5.0.0.681
Software Platform: 5.2.0.67
File name: 8900AllLang_PBr5.0.0_rel1168_PL5.2.0.67_A5.0.0.681_O2_UK.exe
After it rebooted. I add more applications without setting the language in my handheld first. And this is where the problem begin. The screen is just stuck with the page to choose language to be used in handheld and cannot be navigated at all. I also cannot connect it to my computer. I tried battery pulled and let the battery run out then pull and recharge again. It always come up with the same screen.
I tried to reinstall OS on my curve 8900. At the stage of " reconnecting to JVM" an error message occurs stating "application loader Unable to connect to your device" I had tried all the options like Jl_cmder ..but still nothing happens. My mobile is dead and is not responding to any instruction.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've removed the battery and replaced it numerous times. Yesterday, my daughter bought a new battery, did not solve my problemI've searched this site as intensely as I can over the course of 2 1/2 days.I am retired on disability pension. When I can't get to my laptop, my BlackBerry is my only connection to help if I need it.Day before yesterday, I was on the browser when the phone froze. I did a soft reboot, the screen went black, and the phone has not come back on since. The light in the upper right corner blinks red once, pauses, blinks 3 times in a row, then pauses for a few more seconds before repeating the sequence.The phone will not show "connected" to either BlackBerry Desktop Manager nor to my laptop. I've been through a couple of "troubleshooting" flow charts but they all require that my phone "connect" to continue with the flow chart instruction but the phone will not "connect".
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just purchased the new iphone 4s a few weeks ago, and haven't been able to get my Macbook Pro to detact it when I plug the phone into my computer. I've tried multiple usb-to-iphone cords and none of them are working. Neither the computer nor itunes are detecting that a device is plugged in at all.
I've maxed out my photos/videos storage on my phone and have no way to move them from my phone to my computer. I tried communicating to my phone from laptop via bluetooth, but it won't work either (though computer detects phone and vice-versa, the connection isn't successful in the end)

I can't seem to connect my new Atrix 2 to my Macbook Pro at all.. not even through USB. I am not able to receive an item nor am I able to connect successfully through USB. At first, I just connected my phone through USB and it popped up to install a link but it was only an ".exe" file. I than downloaded Motorola Media Link and there is no connection link. I am on a Macbook Pro 10.6.8 and I have searched through the forum as well but nothing really specific on my issue. I have restarted my Mac and my Atrix 2 but to no avail.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm sharing my internet connection from my Macbook pro, and have been connecting with my old Lumia 800 without problems. Today I took the plunge and bought a 920. On my way home, I connected via wifi to McDonalds without any problems. When I arrived home I tried to connect to my Macbook using the correct password, and the 920 gave me a "wrong password" message.I then changed the password on the Macbook to a 40 bit WEP code - still no joy. I've tried rebooting both the Mac and the 920, switching channels on the Mac wifi channel and am now getting peeved, as my old 800 still connects without fail.Occasionally I get the "wrong password" message, other times I get "Unable to join".

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAs the title of this thread might suggest, I've been trying to find some way of SSHing into my MacBook from my Curve 8520, thus far to no avail. I can, however, connect to my friend's Ubuntu server no problem, so I know that the program I'm trying this with (BBSSH) works and I'm using it right. I've tried other software (MidpSSH, trial of PaderSyncSSH) but again haven't been able to get anything. I've tried playing with my sshd_config file but have yet to find a magic setting that let's me sign on. I have SSH enabled in my Sharing settings, and if I SSH into my friend's server, from that I can SSH into my MacBook. In other words, I'm irritatingly close. Has anyone used BBSSH to connect to their MacBook through SSH? If so, what advice do you have to offer?
