BB Storm 9500 :: Retrieving Yahoo - Mail Is Extremely Slow
Jan 11, 2010
I'm using a Storm 9530 on the T-Mobile network. When I first unlocked the phone everything was fine and dandy, but I found out that I needed to update my APN to a TMO friendly one, so I did. After that, everything was still fine and dandy. But EARLY this morning I started having this problem with my BB trying to retrieve my Yahoo! mail. Sometimes it takes a minute or so and other times, most of the time, it takes around 15 to 20 minutes! It wasn't doing this before and it's kind of frustrating.
What's even worse is that my Hotmail and BB Mail get updated instantly, but not the Yahoo! one.
A similar thing is happening with my Facebook updates. I'm not getting them as often as I used to be...
I've tried doing several battery pulls.
I've tried removing the sim card and placing it back in.
I've tried resending the books.
I've tried deleting the Yahoo! mail and setting it back up again, but I still have this problem.
The T-Mobile APN that I'm using is epc.tmobile.com

I had to replace my first Storm 2 because it was not performing as expected. I had added my Yahoo email and I could read and delete email from my Blackberry and it would show as read or delete in my online account when I logged in, as well, if I read or deleted emails online they would show as read or deleted on the Storm 2. Now I have added the same account to the new phone and I have to read and delete emails online AND on my Blackberry because the 2 way synching no longer works. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have deleted the accounts, re-added them, wiped the whole device and started over multiple times and it still doesn't work. It never worked for hotmail but if someone knows how to get it to work for hotmail that information would be appreciated too.

For the past 4 or 5 days I am waking up to find my 4 E-Mail accounts wiped off my Storm. I add them again and by the nex day they are all gone again. I went to a Verzon Service center and they were at a loss as what to do. They suggested I go home and call a Verizon tech to walk me through a hard reset. I insisted on calling from the store which clearly irrritated the employees there. When I spoke to the tech at the 800 number she was incredulous that they wouldn't help me at the store. She asked to speak to the supervisor there. They had a short conversation and he hung up and said I need to do a hard reset but the store policy is not to do that.
So, I went home and calle dtech support again and did the hard reset and reset my 4 email accounts. This was last night. This morning 2 of my accounts were deleted from the phone and the other two, while there were non-functional. The E-Mail setup function was gone from my phone. I had to do a restore to get it back and reset my accounts again. I'm guessing my only recourse is to go back to a verizon store again and insist on yet another replacement? I'm really beginning to hate Verizon.

I am building a client/server UDP application similar to the UDP demo that comes with the 9530 simulator: http://www.blackberry.com/go/udpsample. This sample works fine. However, in my application, the simulator sends a UDP message to the server and it is handled just fine, but when the server sends a message beck to the simulator, there is a problem. As far as I can see, the UDP datagram is transmitted by the server, but the simulator/client gets stuck on the "[UDPDatagramConnection].receive([Datagram])" command. It sits there on that command for about 10 seconds, and then must time out or something. It then responds with the correctly received message, and everything is fine. As far as I can see, no new information was received at the end of that 10-second delay, so I guess it's not the server's problem. So everything works fine, except for that 10-second delay. Of course, since the source code for this function is not provided by RIM, it's impossible to get the debugger in there to see what it's getting stuck on. Are there any known issues with UDP connections being slow to receive an incoming connection? Again, my setup is very similar to the one in the RIM-provided example.

we have a micro soft exchange server without BES and I wanted to know if there is anyway of syncing my phone wireless with mail/contact/calendar/task etc - its seems to be doing this know but very slowly, my handset is displaying read & unread emails but its not what is on my work PC! Does Blackberry offer an application for this? To receive emails on a Blackberry do you need to a BES? I thought that owning a Blackberry was going to revolutionize my emailing experience, might just go back to the iPhone!

My Storm 1 has recently become so slow that when I receive a phone call, I just get the flashing LED, and the screen tried to turn on, but I just get a black screen with the little "loading" icon. I can't answer the call, I can't do anything. Once it finally catches up with itself, I've missed the call. I have normal applications installed on my phone (weather, call blocker, quickpull, and a few others), and I always check to make sure that none of them are running unless I am using them. I have to reset the phone at least 5 times a day to keep it running at a speed I can deal with, and even then it HATES receiving phone calls. Any idea how I can speed this thing up? I'm not opposed to doing a complete wipe at this point....

Had a storm for a while, just got a storm 2 on Verizon using BES. On my storm I had the ability to tie in with my yahoo mail account by adding a new email address - yet on the 2, the option to add a 3rd party mail program is no longer there - and only can use BB internet service for mail. Is there no way to add 3rd party mail now without using their forwarding service directly?

My 9530 (4.7.0.148) has started running slow at times for no reason that I can find. Simple things like un-locking the screen, deleting an email, switching to the home screen, highlighting a folder, and of course opening an app, can take up to 15 seconds. This doesn't happen all the time but is frequent enough to be annoying.
I haven't installed any apps that I can trace it to and my memory level is about the same as it has always been. I only have the normal 5 apps running in the background along with Berryweather. I do frequent battery pulls too.
I have had this OS since it came out and it has worked well for me. I have the phone set up just the way I want it.
Any ideas what could be causing my BB to slow down for no apparent reason? I have searched the board for ideas but haven't found a similar issue. I think somewhere I saw someone mention that over time the phone could accumulate a lot of old "junk" on it and this could slow it down. Could this be my problem? Should I wipe it with JL Cmder and then re-install .148? Would I be that much better off upgrading to 5.0.0.328? I would prefer to stay with .148 so I don't lose some of my apps but I'll upgrade if I have to.

Since yesterday my storm has been running very slow, with the clocktimer staying on for some time.
Nothing has been installed recently, so i dont understand why this has started happening all of a sudden.
The battery drained within the day also, without it hardly being used!
I have now deleted photos, apps and some music, even though not much is stored, but i keep getting a message that the memory is low.
I have to keep pulling the battery as it often freezes on the clocktimer on a black screen or the background, and I have also removed the battery for 2 mins.
Is there anything else i can do?
I am running OS 5.0.0.451

My screen clicking is gettting worse and worse and the phone itself is just slow. I tried all the remedies that you guys have posted here but its still pretty bad. I have absolutely no applications(besides quickpull) and its always slow.

Ever since I upgraded to OS 5.0.0.607, after a battery pull, it takes forever to do anything.
Battery Pull
OS Reboots to locked
Enter password
Get to Home Screen
Everything lags for about 4 minutes
If I try to do too much I start getting errors in LIB's and have to power cycle again.And it doesn't matter how long I wait to unluck to phone either. If I pull battery out, got o bed, wake up, unlock phone, same problem.

Every time I try to register my yahoo mail on my blackberry storm 1, nothing happens. Like I did nothing, my browser sometimes write please check your user name and your pass with yahoo or just goes back to "add your email" page.

So lately, I've been having trouble with my storm running very slow. It does the "loading" graphic, or the spinning clock, or whatever it's called ALL the time. I pop my battery all the time and it doesn't seem to help. And the Storm will do this even when I have barely anything open. For example, at the moment, if I press the menu key, the only programs I have are my browser, BBM, the home icon, message icon and phone icon. That's it. But every time I pick my phone up to do something, I get the loading thing. I tried clearing my browser cache, but that didn't help. I also deleted a bunch of saved y!m message logs and deleted some pics, but still no go. It never used to be this slow, I have Verizon Wireless, and I'm running on V4.7.0.148.

Up until recently, I had an e-mail folder that contained only e-mail messages and had my username as the name of the folder. All of a sudden, it disappeared and my messages folder appeared in its place. Now all messages (including e-mail) show up. Before I had moved he messages folder to a different place because I didn't like it on the home screen and wanted to separate my messages and keep them in their respected folders instead of one conglomerated folder. What happened to my e-mail folder?? I looked in every section and folder to see if I accidentally moved somehow but its gone! Has this happened to anyone else? Was there some recent OS update with this new change?
If not, how do I get my e-mail folder back?

For several days my e-mail isn't automatically reconciling and it's also not reconciling when I try to force it by telling it to reconcile. I use Yahoo! e-mail and another e-mail account through Yahoo! Small business. both have reconciled since I bought the phone a year ago, until now.

As of this morning, my Storm2 has been unable to receive e-mail. I am able to send with no problem. I am running Blackberry Professional Software connected with our exchange server. No other user is having an issue. I have pulled the battery for a reset, but still no luck.

I just bought an unlocked storm2 free and clear - no contract (upgraded from Curve with no data plan). I have continuous wi-fi as my internet company provides me with unlimited wi-fi access wherever I go in the US so my plan is to access my e-mail thru wi-fi.
Is pop3 e-mail set up possible without BES, BIS or data plan? Is there a 3rd party e-mail apllication available for blackberry, much like for pc where you can configure a 3rd party software (i.e., ms outlook, ms express, etc.) for your e-mail.
Right now the only way I can check my e-mail is by logging into the internet via wi-fi and going to my internet provider's web site. That is a hassle though as I have to go thru several steps before I can actually check my e-mails.

When checking voicemail, after the prompt to enter the passcode the first row of numbers are missing from one of my users new Storm2. When contacting the service provider (Verizon) the support person there said that she had swapped out a persons phone 4 times with the same result.

I've been having some issues with the phone, some of which I can see from the forum have been affecting other users (digitizer, etc). However, in an attempt to fix the non-responsive screen I re-booted the device to factory settings (advice from EE) and restored the data from off the PC. However, it now seems to sync with my gmail account in preference to my Hotmail and as a result has duplicated all of my contacts. Where do I go to in the BB menus to change the setting back to Hotmail for the sync of organizer and mail?

Ok this is my situation. I have a blackberry curve from tmobile. My sister got a new phone so she gave me her blackberry storm 9350. I went to a cell phone shop around my area and they unlocked the storm so i can use it with my tmobile sim card. I put on the sim card and i thought everything was working perfect but then i found out that i have multiple problem.
The good: I can make calls, i can use the internet.
The bad: when i place a call my sister number appears in the other person phone (not my tmobile number), i cant call my voicemail, cant setup my email, cant receive calls and more problems i still havent discovered lol.

New user here. I am on my second Verizon Storm2 (in one month) with same issue. After dialing Verizon *611 or when calling voicemail, the number keypad is disabled and the numbers are gone or moved to different locations so I can not enter PIN. I am sure it is a software issue. Tried a hard reset with no luck. VZ authorized retailer believes he can fix this problem by wiping clean and reinstalling one app at a time. Has anyone else had same problem and any luck with a fix?

since i made the transition to iCloud, whenever I open the calendar app and press "+" to add a new calendar item, the app is unresponsive for 30 to 50 seconds, before i can make a new entry.I have an iPhone 4, with iOS5.1 with a G3 connection in the German Telecom network. However, the same is true, if I am in a WLAN network at home or other places. I suspect it has something to do with iCloud syncing, since the little clock symbol is rotating.

Synchronizing my N96 with ovi suite via bluetooth is horribly slow.Transferring only a single photo for example takes about 10 minutes.Even when I only sync contacts and messages, I can wait like 5 minutes or longer.Is there any known issue about syncing an N96 with ovi suite via bluetooth?I cant imagine why it would take so long.When I use direct file transfer, and not ovi suite, to transfer the same photo to my PC, it works at normal speed. (less than 10 seconds)When I use the usb cable to sync to ovi suite, its working at normal speed as well.Any ideas about this?

For some reason the facebook application is almost unbearably slow. I've tried clearing the cache, doing a full reset yet to no avail. I have full service and the internet is extremely fast when tethered but on the fb app it takes like 2-3 mins to load pictures and about 15 seconds to refresh updates. Any reasons for this? Btw I'm on vzw.
