BB Curve :: Cannot Play Media While Alert Is Active
Jul 9, 2010
I cant play saved videos that I downloaded from the internet. The only thing that works is to turn the phone off and then pull the battery for a few seconds. I'd rather not have to do this all the time.
I bought a Verizon Bold 9650 in June when they first came out. About 3 weeks after I received my blackberry, I started having some alarm issues. The issues are:
1) The alarm goes off, but no sound nor vibration is produced (it only shows the Snooze/Dismiss Dialogue) 2) Occasionally, it will start sounding off and vibrating 5 minutes after the alarm is scheduled to go off. 3) The same symptoms from #2 apply when i press "snooze".....
I have the latest software and have repeatedly reformatted the memory cards and wiped the device. Another issue I have been having is that when I try to play music it will sometimes say "Cannot play music while alert is active". I can get around this by opening and closing the camera, but I was hoping there is a more permanent fix.
I can't seem to change my text alert the tick is next to my new alert when i try to change it but the old alert still sounds when i recieve a text, any ideas?
For some reason when a message alert sounds my Blackberry 8520 pauses the media player. It used to just sound the message and carry on playing, but now it freezes the music or podcast until I unpause it. Annoying! Does anyone know how to stop this?
Today I played with speed dialing and accidently set my own number as the mailbox number(assigned speed dialing No. 1) and I can't seem to find any way to correct this(to chnage the assigned number). Can anybody suggest to me how to change the assigned speed dialing number For specifically No 1?And I also noticed something strange that everytime I call anybody on my list after dialling window message it is always followed with Active divert alert message window.I never noticed this before.how do I get rid of this annoying divert alert message eevrytime I call anybody else when there's no diverting that took place.Salvation entails eternal power which will make every tyrant weep.
i received this phone from my dad who got a newer version. everything was working fine when he had it, but i took it i went through "security options" and pressed a "security erase" everything he had was reset in order for me to be able to configure my email accounts, etc.but now i can't play any music or videos, not from Internet or from the media player on the phone, i mean it doesn't even play the song that comes for default! an error saying "unable to play content" keeps coming up, and i have already taken out the battery and put it back on three times.
My phone is no longer to play any of my media files, it recognizes the number of files on my device but as I select any of the files it says 'unable to play content'.I have never seen this screen
I have a Blackberry Curve 9330 (I think) that's about 3 weeks old. I downloaded two ringtones from Verizon and they played fine until yesterday. With no changes it now says "Invalid ringtone". When I attempt to play thru the music icon I get "An error has occurred attempting to play media." However, thru various maneuverings I can get the two songs to play but there's no way to restore them to ringtones. I've tried rebooting several times but nothing. I've searched just about every blog on this website and haven't found an answer. Interestingly, I can play UTube and just about any other media. Also, when I click "Options" in any app for info the only screen I get is to change wallpaper. Clicking "Options" from the home screen gives me the option to change ringtones, display, networks and connections, etc. but trying to change the ringtones results in the "Invalid ringtone" warning. I'm starting to hate this Blackberry!

the media player does not work on the bb browser. everytime i click on "watch video" or "stream video" on Internet or tinytube, nothing happens. i click, and the media does not show up at all.i have a bb curve 8330 os 4.5.0.186, it was working fine for 5 months, until acouple days ago.is there a solution to this prob? i have a data plan and i love watching Internet videos, and it suks now.
So recently I got a new phone, my first phone! Proud and all, I just recently purchased a media card to start storing and listening to music.I am now unable to play any sort of media, sound or ringtone. The media card seems to not have anything to do with it. I also don't think it is file format, because videos that I can take with my phone are not able to be viewed.I have a BB 8520.
Edit: v5.0.0.900 (Bundle 1626, Platform 5.2.0.096 Carrier: Rogers The phone is roughly a week old
recently my bb curve 8520 decided that it doesnt want to play any audio or video files... i keep gettin the white screen with "unable to play media".. i tried reinstallin the os but that only worked temp.
I am using 8900 curve. Whenever I play any media like audio, video, sometimes it is working fine but randomly it is popping up with the error "error when attempted play xyz which is quite unpredictable." I even update the software using desktop manager !
I have a N73, I have a mail account on Google. I created a mailbox in my phone, configured it with all settings. I enabled Automatic email retrieval and the interval time was 2 hrs. All worked fine. I got the notification in first run. I noticed that my packet data connection was active for whole day, in result phone battery was consumed too early.
I just want to know these two things:
1. Why the packet data connection is active all time? Cant it active only on the retrieval hours. Not in the idle position? 2. Why the email alert notifications has just stopped showing NEW EMAIL
I am just missing my important mails due to this problem of notification.
I'm having an issue with custom alerts that are set with some people and the active profile setting. here's what's going on...i have custom ringers on a few family members and since some of the ringers are low in volume, i set the volume individually. today i had to go to a memorial service and i decided to make sure my phone was on silent so i don't have my phone going on in the middle of the service. i set my profile to silent, called myself using my dad's phone and what do i hear, his ringer! i did a battery pull...same thing. i tried to call myself using my dad's phone again, but this time using *67 and no ringtone, just showed that i had a call coming through. with no time on my hands before heading out the door, i just turned off my phone.
Now i found an alternative, but not quite a solution...i can have custom ringtones for people, but not change the volume and whatever profile is set will happen. is there a better way? did i receive a faulty device, although i think it's more a software issue.
when i am on Internet i can no longer view media files?? not sure why , it was working before? not sure if i changed a setting or what? it says" an error has occurred attempting to play media.
This is my second blackberry curve 8530 and they both have the same problem, they won't play videos. They use to but now when I go to like you tube, or nothingtoxic.com, or even my video recordings it won't play it says an error has occurred media attempt failed. I use to restart my BB and that would help for a lil while now it doesn't work at all. How do I fix this?
With the ICS I no longer can stream media from sites like svtplay.se, tv3play.se, tv4play.se.It's so laggy its not watchable. Worked fine before with 2.3.4, GB It's there any solution with coming updates? Otherwise GB is far superior.
I used to play games on GB n theres nothing wrong all going smooth, but after using ICS I can't play it. E.g: asphalt6 or street fighter 4 (after a moment it FC, it has weird graphic or artifact).
Phone doesnt ring or set of tone when texts come in anymore. I push the volume button and everything stays quiet, the volume bar now says incoming call volume for some reason too. Its not in silent mode either.
i woke up this morning and tried to watch a Internet video. my phone froze, i turned it off then back on and now no videos on Internet or my phone will play and music won't either, it just displays an error occured while trying to play media or something like that.
Having this problem with my Galaxy S6. Whenever I start a video on here, a song on Soundcloud, or a song in the music app, it'll start but pause a split second afterward. I can hit the play button as many times as I want but it'll only inch forward about 1/4 of a second at a time...
I'm, new to blackberry, and on the first day I plugged my Curve 8520 to the computer and the Desktop Manager "recommended" to upgrade to the latest OS (v5.0.0.592 - Bundle1096 Platform 5.2.0.64). Since that I only have one glitch, the media folder is called net_rim_bb_file_explorer.Media I assume that's the internal name, not the display name, anyone knows how to rename it?? I don't want to mess with the OS by downgrading or things like that, I'm quite happy with how the phone works as it is...
Every time I turn it on, my 9700 displays the message: "Uncaught exception: A browser content provider for video/3gpp MIME type has already been registered with the browser". and everytime i try playing any song or video or voice not , a blank white page appears , with the words " Unable to Play Media " on it .
I have BB storm 9530. When I try to play media files with .WMA extension... Media player returns a message..that file format is unsupported. So how can I play these files or how can I convert them to mp3 format.
I have copied several windows media files to my blackberry but the phone says that they are unsupported. These are my video files. Is there an application that can play windows media files on the blackberry. Or is there an application I can use to convert windows media files to the file compatible with blackberry?
I'm sure I am not the first - but some of my music albums aka CD's will not play on my BB Torch. Adele and James Brown play just fine, but when I try to play Herbie Handcock I get this message.
"the media 01 Chameleon being played is of an unsupported format". And it goes through the entire album saying the same thing for each song. The file type is WMA
