I have my partners old 8900 curve and have been using it fine for a year, except that his old contacts were saved on the phone and mine on the SIM. I decided to delete his old contacts so I could copy mine over, I found on the internet that you can use RSET in the contact menu to delete all contacts at once. It worked perfectly but now the Blackberry will not save any new contacts, at all, ever!
It won't copy them from the SIM and it won't even save a contact when entered manually. I don't use it for anything other than phone calls and emails, so it has no apps that I know of.Also I have no software on my laptop to back it up or update it etc, I really only use it to read emails and receive phone calls when i'm not in the office.
I have a 8900 BB. I've had problems from day one with it. I'm on my third one. Blackberry said it was the OS. If it's not fixed, why do they keep sending me the same phone? On the latest one, I can't save, edit, or delete any contacts. I didn't realize it until I tried to put some new numbers in. I also can't send e-mails. I can receive them, I just can't send them. I was told this is the OS too. What if anything can I do? It locks up a lot too. I'll be in the middle of something and it just decides to reboot
Have just updated my phone via the BB desktop manager and can no longer find a way to save a sms message to the Saved Messages folder. It was on the menu button but not there now! v5.0.0.681 (platform 5.2.0.67)
I switched mit 8310 with a new 8900 (Vodafone Germany with OS5) and i am very confused about the new SMS-View. For me SMS is very important, but now it is not fully usable, because i can not write SMS-Drafts (10-20) with this new s**t Chat-Bubble-Thing. How can i switch to the old View and use SMS like it is on the 8310? My main-Problem is the Draft-Functionality .
I am not able to add any new contacts on my BB curver 8900. It started this problem since two weeks. I tried removing the battery and all but still the issues is not solved. Also i think the phone got little slow.My BB Pin is 21921334.I am struggling now with my bb. i dont wanna loose it because i am so attached to my bb.I think there are only about 300contacts saved on the phone.
im having a problem with this month ago. I cant save my contacts to my phonebook. Everytime im trying to save it imy phone is just freezing and will turn off.
There is no option to save a number to contacts from an SMS message.
There is no way to select the number at the top. There is no option in the menu when viewing a message or highlighting one in the list. Infact no-where on the phone is a save to contacts option for anything. Why? This kind of feature was available in the 80s on a piece of rock.
Note - The phone is running the latest software it can. Also I am aware that i can click the blackberry button to bring up the menu, select show recipients and tediously highlight then number, copy, then exit out and open up the contacts app, create or edit a contact and paste the number in. This is 100% UNACCEPTABLE from a 'smart phone', i may as well use pen paper and pidgeons.
i have an 8520 Curve and have just noticed i can't save new contacts to my phone.
I've tried adding through my address book and my phone just hangs. I've tried adding a phone number via my call registerr and it just bounces back to the original screen and i've tried adding it through the menu in my text messages and still it won't load.
Everytime i add some no. to my contacts i click add contact and nothings happen i restart my bb by removing the battery and put it back again but still not working i also wipe it but its still not working i was planning to update the os but it`s already updated to the latest any suggestion you can suggest me?
I do not have a smart phone and would like to know how to save all my contacts on my PC in case I loose my phone. Additionally how do you retreive these saved contacts back from a PC to another phone.I have a Blackberry 8520
whereever the experts think is best. I want to sync my phone with yahoo so I will have my address book always updated. Because I had to wipe my phone last week and lost just about everything (had some address book on my KATANA to download what was there).I just now did a fresh back up of my device. (however I got a message that says : Error Backing up DataBase [profiles}6 of 8 entries retrieved.
I have got a 8900, in India and am using the data plan to monitor my personal emails.Problem is that 'contacts' shows *no contacts*.When i go into options of contacts to sim phone book, (Contacts> sim phone book) i can see about 25 contacts. I have tried to copy all contacts of sim phone book but it still doesnt show up in contacts ( Contacts> sim phone book> Copy all to contacts). When i click on this, a status bar goes to 100% in a second, but contacts still show *no contacts*
I have saved many contacts on this handset through call register and messages and hence when i go to (Contacts> options> contact lists>defauly) the number of entries shows 320. I have noticed it increases as and when i add new contacts.Still no contacts shown in 'contacts'. Hence have to dial each contacts number before making a call or search from call register. Can someone pls help me with this. Also meanwhile if anyone could help by letting me know how i can make my call register remember calls of say last 10 days or 100 last entries.
What would be the best way to add a large number of contacts to my curve? I need to add about 50-80 contacts and put them in a group as well. Would outlook still be the best way?
My wife just got an 8520, and would like to have the same contacts as I do on my 8900. What is the easiest way for me to transfer my contacts to her phone?
Earlier today I went to put some pictures of my Curve on to the computer so I plug it in etc. it then tells me I need to update the phone so I agree. It was taking a while to update and I had a bus to catch so against my better judgement I disconnected the phone and now I get the "App Error 205." So I ask what is the best way to fix this for a techno-noob and will I lose my contacts etc?
I can't save new contacts on my phone. Once I go to contact and go to new contact there's no action on the same way. I cant edit a contact on my list and another on my menu there's a option that says: "This has no contacts"....
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.
Ive just got a 8900 & Id like to change how I view the contact list - at the moment I just get the name of contact come up but Id like to view the number too.It say's by going into 'Language' option I can alter this, but I dont have that option on my Blackberry, any ideas as to how I can do this. Many thanks.
This week I left an employer to go to another one. I have not started with the new one yet. I have a personal BB Curve 8900 with work email and one personal email on it. This evening I got the email from the old employer IT dept that they had terminated the work email and BB BES service. Nearly simultaneously, I lost all my personal contacts (which were downloaded off my old flip phone when I got the BB, not from the employer), my personal email account, my calendar, and the memopad documents I had saved for the last 7 months. The phone also reset, removed my password, reset the ringtone, reset the bluetooth settings for my PLT510, and who knows what else. The only evidence that this was still my phone was that my pictures and .mp3s are still there. when an employer terminates blackberry service, is it possible for them to essentially wipe your blackberry clean without your knowledge or consent? If so, how can you set it so that doesn't happen again? If not, is it possible that it is just a huge, inconvenient coincidence, and my BB is experience a major technical difficulty?
i have a blackberry 8900. i also have tonnes of phone numbers that i either need to edit (delete or add email ids to) but i simpy cant type them in manually one by one i know in nokia, there syn application is such that u can make the changes in the nokia pc app and it automatically syncs up with the blackberry.i used the blackberry desktop software, but unfortunately i did not see this functionality a) how can i work around this ? is there any such functionality in BB desktop software? b) are there are 3rd party software available for this ?
I needed to complete a wipe device last night which i have done, didnt bother playing with the phone after, gone to make a call this morning to find out that it has deleted all my numbers from both my directory and my sim card directory. should this of happened?
