BB Storm :: 2 9550 Won't Correctly Connect To Computer?
Feb 25, 2011
For whatever odd reason, this thing won't correctly recognize it as a separate drive; it instead attempts to read it as TWO drives, which never works. Why is that!? (running OS 5.0.0.1015) At first I had chalked it up to just being these crappy publice library computers, but it never hurts to be entirely certain...

I have looked everywhere and i cant seem to find any drivers. the blackberry website seems to say that they are on windows update and I can find them but i don't know how to extract them. Basically, i have a custom built pc and windows 7. All usb ports have been tested with other devices. I tried the desktop manager 5.0 and 4.7 and that doesn't recognize my BB. Windows says that i have connected an unknown device.
I tried rebooting the device and pc and removing the battery from the device. All to no avail.
Someone please tell me where to find it, give me steps to get it working, or where to find a self extracting driver. Also I downloaded the RIM blackberry smartphone driver from the windows update site and it still says it didn't install correctly

Since I got my phone a few weeks ago I have not been able to connect to the 3g network anywhere. I have good service where I live and almost everywhere else that I have tried. I can connect to the 2g network (EDGE). I have tried forcing the connection, but the phone just goes into SOS mode. what should I do to try and fix this?

Computer sees the Storm 9530, Device Manager sees it, I can't get into the folders through My Computer, or when running Desktop Software I go to click on Music then iTunes and I get this prompt-"A problem occurred while attempting to connect to Blackberry device". I am trying to add music from my only computer to my phone.

When i first installed bbdm 5.0 it said under menu "use BB to connect to the internet" (something like that) but now that icon disappeared. How do I get that back and use it?

My storm 9550 is currently running .320 which is not the newest release. Everytime I download the OS onto my computer (.517 and .607) I do the whole downloading process delete the vendor, go to application loader, it says new updates available for your phone, it does the whole downloading process but my phone still ends up with .320 --no changes. Am I missing a step, am I not supposed to delete the vendor.xml file or something.

I have a bold 9700 right now and my dad is looking for a phone and he wants a bold 9700. before i get him one im wondering if i should get a different phone and give him my bold. I love the bold but the couple things that have been really bothering me are the dropped calls and over crappy service.
Hows the 9550 on telus? and would u guys suggest switching to one? Hows the keyboard for someone thats used to a physical keyboard? the only two phones i have had are the tour and bold 9700 and i really like the keyboard, but im willing to get something thats not as good for a bigger screen. I just dont want anything thats glitchy. Im pretty picky about my electronics and especially for my phone i just want it to work.
So basically my real question is is it worth it to switch to the storm? and are there any issues with the phone that someone thats a bit finicky would be pissed off at? (im not obsessed about little issues but keyboard is a huge deal to me)
Edit* and is the storm 9520 out? and does it run on hspa bands?
id like to stick to gsm and not switch back to cdma :/. and any other suggestions for phones if you dont think the s2 fits?
Edit 2* and whats all this about a 9550 gsm? is the 9550 a "world" phone? and if its gsm im assuming its the international gsm bands and i cant get gsm on telus?

I have just bought a Storm 2 9550 that is from Verizon USA. The device is GSM unlocked, and I am using it from Hungary on a local carrier. I am in the middle of a carrier change that has Blackberry services, however I currently have 3G web access on my actual carrier. However, the integrated browser that came with the phone, does not allow me to use the 3g network, only WIFI service. I cannot even set it to 3G on the browser options tab, as it only offers "hotspot browser".
Is there any way I can find a http browser that supports the 3g network, so I could surf the web on this carrier until I complete the carrier change? Is there any on Blackberry App world? I didnt manage to find one.
Also, I would like to have a POP3 client on my device that can communicate through 3G with a pop3 mail server, as the integrated email messaging software that Blackberry device software 5 offers is only capable of having a mail account through a BB service provider.I am very staisfied with the device itself, great for managing calls, and multimedia - did not face any crashes at all (maybe once when I wnated to take a picture and it frozen when the flash lit up).

Have the Storm 2 and have it set with a password lock. Since sometime in mid-April, I have intermittently had an issue with it locking me out and requesting "to unlock, enter ""blackberry"" to continue." I have entered the "blackberry" password but the phone does not respond to it. I have tried turning it off and also a battery pull.... only thing that clears it is hooking it to my laptop and opening the Blackberry software program. This is rather annoying and inconvenient.... don't want to carry around my laptop in case my phone doesn't work. I have not been successful in resolving this....

I own a Mercedes 2008 E350 with ViseeO MB2 bluetooth adaptor. I can pair and connect my wife's Samsung Galaxy phone and use the Mercedes hands free system to make and receive phone calls. However my Defy pairs Ok but does not connect continuously. It will occasionally connect when I force it but it only stays connected for a few seconds. The Defy is running 2.2OS. The MB2 supplier in Australia and manufacturer in Taiwan both state that the MB2 has been previously tested with a Defy and works OK.

While trying to update the software on my BB Storm 9550 through the desktop software on my pc, the process got stuck at "Loading module "net_rim_bluetooth.cod". I waited for hours until finally choosing to disconnect... My device tried to reboot and then ended on a white screen with the message "Reload Software:07I have gone through this 3 times now today, I tried a force detect process without the battery but it always gets stuck at the loading modules process. I know I need to get the OS loaded back in now because I think my phone is now wiped out, but I don't know what to do...

I juz received a blackberry storm 9500 from my sister, and I don't know how to connect it to wifi (I'm very new at this). I've tried google and found different answers, ranging from "storm 9500 cannot connect to wifi", to "i have one and it can connect just fine". I can't find the wifi option in the "manage connection", and there is no browser icon on the home screen either.

My new 9550 will not charge.
When the battery is inserted the screen shows a battery with a red cross. It worked once and I monitored to see the charging work. Then soon after turning off the unit and restarting, it would no longer charge.

I bought a Blackberry Storm 2 9950 from Verizone in USA 16 months ago, and after two months that I went to live to Mexico. I got my BB unlocked and I was using Movistar services with out any issues until two months ago, that I started facing issues to get connected.I went to check this with Movistar carrier here in Mexico, but support guy told me that because it is a device from other company they can not help me with any configuration issues, or support for it. He suggested me to throw it to the garbage and buy another from its company.

I upgraded my software using the phone instead of my computer when I was notified an upgrade was available. Since the upgrade, my phone reboots 6 or more times a day. I complained to my service provider and they have replaced the phone - but really want to sell me another make and model. I transferred data from the old phone to my computer and back to my new phone - and the same rebooting issue keeps occuring on the new phone. Any way to correct the problem of rebooting? It occurs at the most inconvenient times and keeps me from using my phone as needed.

getting a Storm 2, to use as an MP3 player, portable web, etc. I currently have a Bold for work, but restrictions from work mean that I can't install apps, use the web, etc. I would want to use the Storm as a WiFi only device, obviously with no carrier based email, phone, etc.

so maybe it's that I have the wrong password? But then when I click "forgot password" and type in my e-mail address it says "Blackberry App world is having trouble connecting to the blacberry app world server. Verify your network connections and try again. Error ID 30637" Consequently, I haven't updated in over a year.

For several weeks now I have been unable to open the calandar app.All other apps are working. When touching the calendar app icon, the system does not respond. In order to select something else, I must first touch the "Hang Up Phone" icon on lower right of panel. Touching return does nothing at this point.

I have an error message "uncaught exception: ApplicationRegistry.wait For (0x7c802477365c3985) timeout" Sometimes if I click ok it will disappear, most of the time though I have to remove battery a few times before it will go away. I can not make or receive calls and can only text sometimes. I went to the local verizon story and they said to check for updates on the blackberry website but none were available.

I JUST bought a new verizon model phone, and I charged it into the wall charger for 4 hours to make sure it was charged. When it is plugged in, a battery with a lightning bolt appears on the screen, so I assume it is charging. But, when I unplugged it, and turn on the device, I see the hourglass/clock on the screen, and then it goes to a page saying "Blackberry" and it begins loading, however, the phone turns off and dies. After that, I can't turn it back on. I tried putting it back into the charger for 5 mins, then repeat turning it on, and the same thing happens.
I then connect the USB to the computer, and I have the Blackberry Desktop software. The "summary" part can tell it's a blackberry storm 9550, but then, all the other sections say the device isn't connect. I can hear the phone disconnecting and reconnecting to the laptop also. Then a pop up appears stating the device isn't connected/troubleshooting and to try re-trying to find the phone.
