The other day my phone was scrolling in the wrong direction so I took the battery out and put it back in, the phone showed the BlackBerry sign and the progress bar it got just over the half way mark & stopped, I left it like that for about 20minutes to no avail.I must have taken the battery out about 15-20 times and it still didn't get any further, I called T-Mobile they said to take my phone into a shop.Well I plugged my phone into my laptop and it switched on after a while, I updated the software on my laptop & then my phone. It deleted my messages, numbers, emails, bbm, facebook & BlackBerry aps. It also stopped me receiving MMS messages & I was unable to view Excel spreadsheets ( I have fixed the Excel issue via Desktop Software installing the app). It also has changed my sms messages back to the old settings (Not the bubble like) & the keyboard lock is no longer the mute key on the top of the phone.I've plugged my phone in again and it says I already have the latest updates. (Which clearly I do not).The version on my handset says: V4.6.1.314 (Platform V4.2.0.135 i tried to update from the T-Mobile local site via the BlackBerry carrier but I do not know the log in details.

I'm updating my BlackBerry Curve 8520 device software version from 4.6.1.272 to 4.6.1.314. I used the BlackBerry Desktop Software and clicked the "Update my device" button in updating my BlackBerry Curve device software version. The process was started last Monday, November 15, 2010 but until now is not yet finish (Thursday, November 18, 2010). Is this normal? I cannot disconnect my device because it said that "During these steps, do not disconnect your device or interrupt this process as it could make your device unusable."
I currently have the BB 8520 with 4.6 software, I've been doing to get the O.S 5 update following the 'Upgrade Guide'. I've tried deleting the vendor.xml file but still not luck it still keeps on saying it doesn't have "BlackBerry Device Software". I've tried to following things.
1. Searching my entire computer for another vendor.xml file
2. Re-installing both the upgrade and Desktop Manager
Still no luck, can anybody try and help me out? I've done some searching on the forum and found nothing.
I updated my BB 9700 to v 5.0.0.545 (Platform 5.1.0.140)and subsequently pressing on the "mute" button no longer turns on/off "standby mode.I tried the mute button during a phone call and that works fine. So I don't think the issue is hardware.Plus it was all fine before the device update.
I've upgraded from my original OS to 5.0.0.411 (i think) at the start of the year with no problems. Two days ago I attempted the upgrade to .681 which was fine, but I'm not keen on the update as the UMA isn't working properly, so I want to downgrade.
So last night I managed to get back to the original OS 4.? (I was having probs with a straight forward downgrade to another OS5) and tried to upgrade to the Vodafone Italy (I'm on Orange UK) but it wasn't being recognised with the Desktop Blackberry software (vendor file was deleted), although when I went into the upgrade part on the app loader, it did appear there, but with an asterisk saying I had to be registered with Blackberry to be eligible for the upgrade (or something like that). I attempted the upgrade but the software wouldn't allow it.
I removed that software and tried with the Wind release, but again the desk top software didn't recognise it.I tried the .681 release again and the upgrade worked fine
I would really like to go back to a stable OS where the UMA works. Any ideas how to do it with the Vodafone Italy release? Or am I being blocked somehow as I'm registered to Orange UK? If so does anyone have a link to download another earlier release that is stable and not carrier associated?
Basically I have a problem my blackberry curve 8520 is only 4 months old, it's been working fine until today the screen has poped saying ' No GPS device detected! Please activate GPS on your blackberry for accurate location readings.' I can't do anything else click on the home on/off button nothing works I have took the battery out several times but nothing is working.
I have many troubles with updating my n97 (Product code 0576503) from v21 to v22.i have try Ovi Suite v2.2.0.241 but after preparing to install i got message ( installation failed - the connection to device was lost.....)
and in NSU v2.5.2 i got (no software available for your device - Please not that your mobile service provider, operator or carrier may not have approved the latest nokia device firmware available........)And on FOTA after downloading and restarting i got (This update is not compatible with your device)
Since yesterday I am owner of 8520 curve.I did set device password which I would like to remove. However, when I go through the menu to the option "Password" the field showing password "Enabled" is light gray colored and small lock is shown. I cannot change this field, no matter what I try.
I have looked at many many forums and have not found a suitable or satisfying answer. I set my Save Message History to Device. Now when I access my BB from the computer, I open the IM folder. This folder contains no saved conversations. All I see are *.BAK files and another file that probably contains a backup of my BBM contacts. When I am in an active BBM chat i see the View history link but it ONLY displays the last message not the entire previous conversation. Point is if I am saving my message history on the DEVICE then where exactly is it?
I had a Blackberry Curve 8520 that was stolen yesterday. My service provider told me that they will only be able to shut down the line, nothing else. Is there a way to disable the phone? It would be nice if I could make sure no one can even turn it on, or at least make sure it can no longer be used on any service provider.
I am having BlackBerry 8520 Curve and purchased it on May'10. After buying this BB handset I am facing the problem in audio and not able to listen the voice clearly. I had submitted my handset for 4th time at Redington India Limited Ahmedabad for the same issue, but the problem is yet not rectified.I have submitted my handset again at Redington on 26th July 2012 and they have given me the estimate of Rs. 4200 to change the housing of the handset. Before that I have given my handset at Redington for the same audio problem on 14th Mar 2012, 16th Jan 2011 & also give while the handset was in warranty period, but the problem is still same.Now my question is that, I have give mobile 4 times for same issue and still I am facing same problem than why should I pay for housing, as it is manufacturing fault of handset. Still my mobile is at Redington and I want the permanent resolution for the audio problem, and if you are not able to solve the problem than please keep the handset with you, as I don't want the defective handset.I have purchased the Blackberry as it is the brand name and for the service but I am really disappointed by such kind of worst service.Removed personal information to comply with Community Guidelines and Terms and Conditions of Use.
The phone says relaod software 552 but the notebook will not pick up the device. The cable is fine and i have restarted the phone numerous time so its not that either. The fact is the phone cannot be seen thus i cannot reload the soaftware. the phone is about to go across the room.
How much Device memory should I have? I have a BB 8520 with 122277261 File Free. And when I check App World it says I have 116 MB left. I'm always scared of going under 110 MB. How much device memory should you have? Is it alright if I go under 110 MB in my device memory?

I am having problems today with my 8520 Curve. I keep receiving a message from donotreply@blackberry.com informing me that my emails are not being delivered to my device. It goes on to tell me to turn on the IMAP setting for all mail on my email account and validate my account. Having checked, my IMAP settings are correct so I re-validated my Bkackberry and, for all intents & purposes the email account is now valid. However, I then shortly receive another message exactly the same from donotreply@blackberry.com. I have gone round this cycle 3-4 times now but am still not receiving emails.

my blackberry not booting, it show red led indicator and no life.trying udpating os but it come to the stage reconnecting jvm and message appears "application loader could not connect to your device. Please reconnect your device, enter password if required, and click retry".
I own a BB for only 3 days now. I was wondering if the device was normally sold with Appworld already install? It was not on mine. I wanted to download it today, here the process:
1- Go to BB.com, send the link on my email...err: I don't have internet explorer 5 or higher on my device (can't download it for the same reason!) 2- Go to BB.com to download it on my desktop....err, I use firefox (mac), 3- open VMWare Fusion, run Internet explorer 5, crash. 4- install internet explorer 7...crash 5- Look in the application loader in the desktop manager, I can uninstall/install Appworld on my device! Do it. I still can't see in in my applications.
My device is pw protected. I schedule my quickpull to restart my phone and I gave it the pw so it can by pass that. However, it does not do that. The phone does not unlock and restart. Instead, I have to manually unlock it and it prompts me to restart. Idk what to do. I want to have phone restarted when I don't need it. As in when I wake up and hop in shower.
I am upgrade my bb8520 using bd program , but until reconnecting to jvm it come up application loader was unable connect with your device . reconect your device , enter the password , if required , and click retry . but the phone is running at the half way .
