I have a 8520 Curve, my phone is definitely in the 'Supported Devices' list on the 5, I think it is, update. I'm on O2.
Here's what happened, me and my friend got the same phone, I got mine a few months before her though. I noticed my phone was different to my friends. Like my texts have a completely white background, and it shows texts in a folder, most recent toward the top. And theirs shows the text like a.. Ping Chat conversation? I asked them how they got their phones like that and they say "Oh, it was just like that." so I go to the text settings and mess around with it for a while. Also that their bbm's profile viewer is different to mine, too. And I can't figure it out. So anyway, this friend, her phone was just like mine. Plain texts with white background, my bbm. I was with her the whole time. When we get back to hers to start the phone up and all of that jazz, she gets an update when she plugs it into a laptop (She had the Desktop stuff, her brother had previously downloaded it) After the update her phone was like our friends. I was like "Let me try?" and my phone wouldn't update. So I went home and looked further into it. My phones software is 4.6.1.314 and I'm guessing that isn't the most recent. I notice the "Advanced options - Wireless update" part, I try it. And it says "No updates available" So I try it by going to the 'Software updates' on the O2 website, same outcome. I try the Desktop software again, same outcome.
Phone will not find updates 1020 after factory reset here is what I did.
1. Removed phone from windowsphone.com 2. Did a factory reset on phone 3. Told it to do a new phone from scratch not restore backup 4. Went through all the setup screens reconnected to MS account 5. Phone was reset up on windowsphone.com
Okay, I've been at this for a few hours now, and I'm at wits end.I absolutely cannot upgrade from OS 4.6 to 5.0
I have tried the desktop software about a million times, it keeps saying no updates available. I've tried using the app loader. Nothing. I've tried downloading the specific 5.0 software for AT&T BB Curve 8520. App loader says it is incompatible with the device.
I have tried following this: How to Install or Upgrade to a New RIM BlackBerry Operating System (OS) with AppLoader | CrackBerry.com .Still did not help.
I have also tried doing it OTA style. The damn thing says there's no updates available on this either.I've been reading through just about every OS 5 thread I could get my hands on and nothing has made this process work.
how is the Curve 8530 in terms of longevity? I recently got the pearl flip 8230, and, well, as everyone knows, or maybe no one knows, this is kind of the redheaded step child of the devices, and is no longer seeming to be supported by RIM and the OS updates, as it has not seen the OS 5.0 update that it is said to supposed to have. I am looking at moving carriers and therefore moving phones also. The pearl flip was my first blackberry, and I really do like the Blackberry/RIM devices, but do not want another red headed step child device that will be forgotten within a day of my purchase. So my question is, does anyone see the 8530 still being supported by RIM in the future? Or do you think that the 8530 has run its course and seen it's last real OS update?
i have the bb curve 8520, and does t-mobile have the OS 5.0? I really want it. I got an OS 5.0 from bb website but t-mobile then doesn't cover updates that aren't from them. Does anyone know where to get it from t-mobile?
I changed my wallpaper on my Blackberry 8520 OS 5 a week ago, and I did zoomed-in before I settled it as my wallpaper. Now, my wallpaper is still there, but the picture that is currently my wallpaper is gone.. I have done a lot of ways to try to find it, but it is really gone..
My daughters both have 9300's One is running on 6.0 2949 the other 9300 will not let me upgrade from 5.0 1399. When I plug phone into PC and check for updates I get message saying no Blackberry updates
Since the Market App was updated to ver. 3.1.5 on my htc Desire, that when I get a new message in the notification area that there are updates for any of my20 Apps and clicking on updates it goes straight into My apps but no updates are showing only installed apps so don't know what apps need to be updated, or if already updated it does not say what app was updated.On clicking on all my apps there is no ticks in any of the Automatic Update boxes! Before the update to ver. 3.1.5 you could see what apps needed to be updated and why and had a choice if you wanted it updated or not
I discovered that my curve 8520's bluetooth can find other devices like nokia, samsung,etc that have bluetooth too when they are ON but does not pair with them therefore could not receive or transfer file with other phones. How should I go about it.
I have a BB Curve 8520. I just was searching the options page and then I believe I clicked the speed dial option. The lock keyboard option was 'a', and I clicked it and it locked the keyboard. I hadn't realized there was a lock for my keyboard (and had been searching for one). However, I can't get it unlocked. When I press the menu key, it pops up that 'keyboard is locked. Press the Mute button to unlock."
However, I don't know where the Mute button is, nor can I get it to unlock. My theme is precision zen (I believe) if that makes a difference.
how I can unlock my keyboard? how to successfully lock it in future? I guess I don't understand the speed dial aspect of the phone.
I recently installed v5.0 on my Curve 8520 and can't find the icon for Keyboard Lock.Have already looked using "Show All" in the Home screen and all the folders I have to no avail.Even looked through the various setup / configuration menus and options and still couldn't find anything...
I am trying to replace the screen for my 8520 but am a bit confused because the version number reads as 004/111/112 and I cant find anyone selling this version number anywhere. A lot of people are selling 004/005 so I was wondering if that version is compatible or not. If anyone has had the same problem or knows of a solution I would greatly appreciate any help.

I downloaded a theme OTA and I can't find it anywhere. It said it was for the 8520 OS 4.6, my phone said it was downloaded successfully but it's missing. It shows up on my applications list but not with my themes. I've checked every folder and nook and cranny. I've even restarted my phone. I wouldn't say I'm a BB pro or anything, but I'm fairly experienced so I've tried the obvious things.
i used to have an iPhone 4 and had synced it to my iTunes. i then sold it and got an iPhone 4s. i want to find my old messages from my iPhone 4 on my backup files but can't seem to find them.
