BB Curve :: Block It From Accessing Gprs?
Apr 2, 2011
i have d bis service activated on my new curve 3g (full service)recently i have started noticing that my balance is geting deducted every now nd then so i decided to ask the operators whr is d balance geting deducted they tell me that i have been using gprs on my blackberry why would some1 use gprs when 3g bis is activated it dint make any sense to me so i decided to go to the nearby service center and there they tell me that since blackberry is a verry advanced phone it keeps trying to acces gprs even though bis is activated he suggested me dat there must be some 3rd party app which is trying to use gprs!so he suggested me i remoove all 3rd party apps and check if the same is happening! and i did so, since then for 3-4 days balance was not geting deducted!
since 1 week i have discountinued with the service for some reasons and i have noticed that the balance has started geting deducted again ! and it follows a specific pattern every hour at exactly 4 mins passed (10:04 , 11:04, 12:04) the handset is trying to acces gprs i mean there r no 3rd party app installed on my fone except for foursquare, google maps, and bloomberg mobile!
i read in some other posts in the forum that there is some app which tries to use gprs backdoor!and since yesterday randomly my bb starts giving sumnotification sounds when i chk 4 any notificatin it is not showing anything!

I have an unlocked TELUS Storm playing GSM on a Philippines carrier called Smart. The data connection and call reception quality here has been nothing but horrible. Dropped calls/Calls failed, etc are pretty rampant around here (no matter what part of town you're in)
Anyway, I'd _like_ to think it may be something to do with the fact that the device is not Smart authorized/sold device. However, the backward nature of cellphone networks here could argue me down.
Long story short, now that you know my troubles.. when I'm on a full GPRS/EDGE connection, I pull up the browser. Once I start getting ready to type in a URL, the GPRS/EDGE goes to gprs/edge. It happens about 98% of the time. This same thing happens when I go to URL from an email/sms etc. I can't seem to figure it out. I've been on .328, but upgrading to .419 as we speak. Thoughts would be nice.

I have recently bought a BB 9300 Curve. However ever since the day I have been using the set, precisely last Sunday, I have been getting messages every 15 minutes which read as "Last Session Cost: 0.50 INR, Session Data accessed: 0.1 MB.
The above data of course have been varying and since that day this has resulted in the deduction of almost 40 INR. I have repeatedly tried to touch base with my mobile service provider - Vodafone with this issue, but they have clearly told me their inability to help me with the issue.Also what I have been told is to stop the "Push mail" option in Internet settings, whereas I have no internet facility yet activated in my BB and that I have not yet accessed any browser or mail set-up.

I have managed to get a low cost GPRS plan enabled on my blackberry 9300 curve device. With this I am able to use Google maps for navigation and Opera for general browsing.
However I am unable to use BB specific applications like LinkedIn and Facebook and apparently the root cause seems that BB browser does not connect via GPRS. It always needs BIS/BES. Is there a way to get around this and start using BB browser with the general GPRS plan.
I am using OS version 6.0.0.584.

I want to ask abut any IM that works without having BIS or BES on my blackberry 8520 Why I'm not using BIS if you ask, because the BIS is a little bit expensive here.
I've tried WindowsLiveMessenger - YahooMess for blackberry and they will only work on BIS.
I've tried ebuddy, but there's no ebuddy for blackberry. So I have to use ebuddyLITE and it is not great for chatting (refreshing all the time and its not user friendly)
Is there any suggestion for another IM that works only on normal GPRS? [without activating BIS]

For some reason I can't get my Curve to connect to the the desktop manager. I have installed and uninstalled the Manager 3x, tried to different computers and 3 different USB cables and still nothing. When I plug the phone into the PC it shows the charging icon for about 5 seconds then it disappears and when I try to access it with the DM it cant find the PIN. I checked to make sure that the DM was set to recognize the USB. The last time I use the DM was back in November and everything was fine, but now nothing wants to work.

I have several image and music files on my BlackBerry and have regularly made use of each (I have had this BlackBerry for just shy of 2 months), using my windows laptop to transfer the files via the USB cable.Today, however, when I plugged in the USB cable and went into the BlackBerry's folder on my laptop, all the subfolders appeared only as shortcuts (although they still worked fine) and after disconnecting, my BlackBerry seems entirely unable to locate anything I have saved on there. I even tried taking a new photo and the device immediately "lost" it.

I know that you can plug in an 8520 via a USB cable and access the SD card, however I need to access the internal memory. How can I do this without installing the full Desktop manager software?

My daughter's new 8520 doesn't seem to be able to send or receive BBMs, has this got something to do with the fact the GPRS only comes up as "gprs" in lower case in the top right-hand corner of the screen on the phone?

I have 2 gmail accounts set up on my BB and both work fine. I'd like to be able to access each account easier. As it is now I have to toggle through the account list to switch between accounts and it seems that I always get mail in the account I'm not currently in. I know, it sounds minor, but anything to save a few keystrokes multiple times throughout the day.

How to access pictures that are on my card, they were taken with my previous phone. With that phone, it had a basic explorer-type interface but it looks like it's supposed to add them automatically with my Blackberry curve 9300. My videos are there, as are my ringtones but not the photos.

I want to switch off the gprs/edge/g3 data services so that i can only use wifi for browsing thus stopping my pay as you go credit vanishing when it switched to gprs data with out telling me .I found the setting that turns off data services but that switches everything off with no options provided to select what to switch off. Also the wifi indicator stays grayed out even when it is working when it should go white (according to the internet this is to do with me not having a "Blackberry Internet Service Plan" )I have a 2 day old factory fresh 8520 , on virgin(uk) pay as you go

My Curve 8520 (v5.0.0.681) on O2-UK has switched to GSM since last Friday (16th).Initially it happened to my girlfriend's Curve 8520, then mine and now it has happened to her sisters Curve 9300.
It has not happened to my girlfriend's parents Curve 9300. I also work 50 miles from home and it's not working so it's not a single tower issue. I have tried pulling the battery, reinstalling the software and a security wipe.
I contacted my carrier (O2-UK) who state that it's not a problem with their network and that they have had a lot of reports of the same issue in this past week, they're saying it's a Blackberry issue.

I have a BB 8900 curve which has not been used before. The carrier Vodafone has enabled my BB service and I should have full data. However, the device is showing gprs and not GPRS and the service books are not downloading as a result.
When I put my SIm in a mates BB 8900 it does show as full GPRS.is there a setting in the device that allows partial data service that I need to change to give me full data, or do I just have another faulty 8900 device?

In the past month or so my sisters blackberry curve 9300 changed from being at GPRS/EDGE to GSM and she cannot get access to the internet at all, so she has no facebook, bbm, email or browser etc. and this is even when she is connected to our wifi at home. We have tried rebooting it several times by taking out the battery and also the sim card but this has not helped. We took the phone back to the O2 shop where it was purchased and they gave her a new sim card and when this didnt work she went back again and the said that because she was roaming the bolt ons was cancelled and they set that up again. However the phone is still on GSM and so this hasnt helped. When I was looking thorugh the phone trying to see if there was anything I could do to change it back to GPRS I noticed that in the service status it says that blackberry internet service is not connected.

When i was back to home and started using Wifi disabling the Data Service from service provider, I couldn't access internet through Wifi.
