I need to know a lot of things about Blackberry Curve 9300, I need hel please...

Hello there! Some of the questions or problems I'm encountering now maybe for some is nothing & seemed silly but for me it's giving me headache. First, just downloading & installing the Blackberry Desktop Software for PC is giving me a problem already, I downloaded & installed Blackberry Desktop Software v.5.0 but seemed not compatible with my PC & Blackberry Curve 9300, some options & features were missing/incomplete. So what is the best BB Desktop Software for BB Curve 9300? And I want to upgrade my BB Curve 9300 v.5.0.0.977 (Platform 6.3.0.63) to 6 OS. However, I want to know the advantages of the 6 OS first, what features are so special with this OS? Is it ok to download & install the 6 OS leaks? Among those leaks(V.6.0.0.448; v.6.0.0.418, v.6.0.0.380, v.6.0.0.344; etc.) what is the best & safest & most compatible with version of blackberyy Curve 9300 that i have??? Is it a must to upgrade my version of BB Curve 9300 to 6 OS? Í love changing my themes, wallpapers & ringtones but the version I have doesn't allow me to do so... So limited choices... What can I do???
I will really appreciate any comments, suggestions, replies regarding my concerns... Thanks!!!

Hi and Welcome to the forums!
Wow...that's a lot to pack into a single paragraph with a large colorful font! But, let's see if we can take your points one by one, shall we?

Exactly how did it seem not compatible? Precise descriptions are always better than vague generalities...which leave us to only guess...which helps no one I find...
Netteski wrote:

Again...what, exactly?
Netteski wrote:

The most recent version (6.0.1.18), available here:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
BTW...the version of the Desktop Software itself is not at all tied to your BB model, nor your BB OS level. It is always best to use the most recent Desktop Software version, regardless of BB model/OS that you have. (There are some very special cases that are exceptions to that...but they are indeed very special.)

OS 6 is very very different from OS 5. I suggest you read the release notes, view the videos, and other things. If, ultimately, you decide you don't want it, then you can always fall back.

I don't know if those versions are leaks or not. But, if they are from a carriers download web portal:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
then they are official and not leaks. From what I can quickly find, the most recent official OS for the 9300 is 6.0.0.461 (from Telus). Typically, on this officially sanctioned (by RIM) site, we shy away from much discussion about leaks since they have bypassed the official channels and are not sanctioned by anyone for release to the general public.
Netteski wrote:

Nope...you can stay behind for as long as you want. Just be aware that someday your OS will be End Of Life and there will be no further formal support. Before you ask...no, I've no idea when that would happen.
Netteski wrote:

Given that OS 6 is even newer, I'd expect that your choices for those things would be even further limited. But, over time, that will shift and there will be plenty of options for OS 6 for you to play with.
Good luck!

  • Need help with a Blackberry Curve 9300, please...

    Hello, everyone, I had a look around the forum and came across a post which offered advice one what to include in questions, so I have tried to include the info below. 
    Device info
    Your carrier: Unlocked (was using Virgin)
    Model info and OS version (Go to Settings, then Options, then about): Blackberry Curve 9300, OS 6
    Apps and free space
    File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 60%
    Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
    Apps installed and their version if possible.   (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None, only the ones that come with it after reset to factory
    BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): Don't know what this means
    When writing your question
    Any other details that would help us out with your issue: This was my teenage brother's phone, which since has been given to me. The phone was severely mistreated; thrown around, stepped on and chewed. The battery had to be replaced as well as the middle chassis and the front and back cases along with the keyboard, bottom clip and screen. 
    Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before: I managed to get it working after I had replaced everything listed above, but it will not charge using the cable. I have to keep taking the battery out and plugging it in seperately to charge, then putting back in the phone. This is after replacing the cable as my brother broke that too, so it's not the cable. He's damaged the data/ charge port.
    The camera will not work, but at the moment I am not looking for a solution for that. The error is: "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again". No applications are open and the OS has just been updated to the most recent version. For this reason, I think he's managed to break that too and it would need to be replaced if that's possible.
    My issue at the moment... My mother, as you can imagine is furious with him for trashing the phone she bought him at about £250 when it was new a couple of years ago. So, as I have managed to get it to turn on and pick up wi-fi, she has said I can keep it. I am on Virgin Mobile and this phone is unlocked. It will not pick up any network even using my Virgin SIM card which works fine. My brother was also using it on Virgin.
    I can use it with wi-fi and have already contacted t-mobile and Virgin Mobile to make there there's no problem with them. There isn't. The number has been put under my ownership and the phone registered to me now. It is not blocked or blacklisted, yet, only comes up with SOS for network.
    Because of this, they and the local phone shop think he might have damaged the antenna inside. I am an iPhone user, this is the first time I have used a Blackberry, so I have no idea - can the antenna be repaired by myself? 
    Or, given that the camera doesn't work either/ needs replacing, would it just be better to get a replacement using my contents insurance? I am unsure which would be cheaper, to get the parts and try and fix it myself, or pay the excess for the insurance. 
    Advice appreciated... Thanks in advance.

    Hey MaggzieP,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    This KB article will determine if it is a software or hardware related issue for the camera: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15544
    Also if you tried more than 1 SIM card in the BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone and it still shows SOS, this could be hardware related as well.
    For all repairs, I can only suggest checking with the point of sale or network service provider for further options.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

    There are lot of things about firefox 4 needs to be on. Who should we complain about firefox 4?

    Please give us a list of your problems or issues with Firefox 4.0 and we'll try to help you with each one. Please use a numbered list so a person can respond to a specific item by its' number in your list, as not everyone may feel or be qualified to answer all your questions.
    Complaining to Mozilla isn't going to fix anything for you. One complaint, a few hundred complaints, or even a few thousand complaints about the same issue is going to bring about a "fix", unless it's a security issue and Mozilla recognizes ot as such.

Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!

  • NEED URGENT HELP-BLACKBERRY CURVE 9300

    Got it like two weeks ago. About a week ago it kept rebooting a lot. Like three days it kept rebooting continuously and viciously often shutting off during rebooting. Today I connected it to my PC, I was upgrading the OS hoping that this would solve the problem but during the upgrade their was an error. It was suggested that I disconnected the blackberry and restart my PC. Did that but now my bb is not even rebooting, it keeps blinking red and is not being recognized by my PC. I don't know what to do and I'm about cry. I am very appreciative of any reply. My device is unlocked and the software is OS5.

    Hmmm..OK...thne you should probably do a clean OS reload.
    At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Does anyone know how to make my old blackberry curve 8900 work with my new sim card that has been set up on my 9360?

    i hate my new blackberry 9360  it never gave me a days hassle and i want to use it for the remainder of my contract as the 9360 is just a pain and full of problems and no matter what i do i cannot get an alternative phone despite the fact that i am a high spender with loyalty of over 10 years to my supplier.  i do not want to use a fixed second hand phone.  the reason we get a new phone is emphasis on new.

  • Need Help with App World on the Blackberry Curve 9300

    Right i got the new Blackberry curve 9300 about a week ago. All my mates already have blackberry curves 8520's. I downloaded App World to get the same theme has my mate, but when i go on his it says he has over 1300 themes on his App World and i only have around 300 on my App World. Why is this? Also i can't get the theme i want because i don't have all the themes on my App World for some reason. If you could help please reply.

    The 8520 and the 9300 are completely different devices with different OS's etc.  The theme on an 8520 probably won't work on the 9300.  The 9300 hasn't been out nearly as long as the 8520 so there are fewer themes available.  This will change with time.

  • I REALLY NEED HELP WITH MY CURVE 9300'S WIFI!

    HI !
    i have a blackberry curve 9300, OS5. I got it secondhand. It worked really great, but the problem started when I've done that thing within the host routing table. Though my wifi is connected, I can't use the internet. whenever I tried the BB browser and any other application (e.g. facebook, opera mini, etc.) i get a message that says 'i am not in an area that supports blah blah...' or 'unable to connect to internet please try again later'. I checked the browser under browser config and it is set to my local network provider. i changed it to hotspot browser, saved it. But whenever I go back it also goes back to my local network provider. i have tried almost EVERY troubleshooting I've read on this forums and in other forums but still no luck. The problem worsened when I did a security wipe on the emails, contacts, etc.
    -APN settings are disabled
    -default browser set to hotspot browser
    -firewall disabled
    -data services are on
    Everyone said that it has nothing to do with that activation enterprise so I did not configured it after wiping.
    I also tried doing a hard reboot (pulling the battery out and waiting for 5 minutes before turning it on) but it will only fix the problem for sometime and it will go back again.
    Calling my network provider would just suggest to get a plan when in fact, I was able to use the device's wifi well before without any plan.
    I don't want to upgrade my BB to OS6 coz it easily drains the battery of device and I cannot afford doing that because I go out a lot.
    I also tried changing my sim card and network provider but wasn't successful.
    I also tried deleting the name of my local network provider in the service book under options.
    What do you think could be the problem? Any suggestions? I really, really, REALLY, need help.
    PLEASE ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

    Hi miochan984,
    Welcome to the support community!
    A supported data plan from your mobile network provider may actually be required to use the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones application as well as the browser. I would recommend verifying with them which services they support over a Wi-Fi connection without a data plan.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • My Curve 9300 lost service need help ASAP

    I lost all serivce on my blackberry curve 9300 and the only way I get service is if I go outside my house. Sometimes I get service in my house but it's for 5 seconds and then I get "searching for network" then it goes to "SOS" I need help ASAP.

    My carrier won't do anything about it because I'm not an authorized user of the account which is stupid. I wasn't having a problem with service for about a year and yesterday my service just cuts out for no apparent reason.
    Hello...well, that's a bit disconcerting...aiding and abetting what could be an unethical use of service...but I'm hopeful that there are further details that mitigate that suspicion. In any event, review this KB for perhaps helpful information:
    KB03448 Network status indicator shows "SOS" on the BlackBerry smartphone
    It is possible that they have a tower out, and you now are receiving service from a more distant tower, which does not have adequate signal strength to work through the walls of your house. But, sadly, there is no way for you to actually find out if such is the case or not.
    Good luck!

  • My little brother disabled my ipad but I know the password. How do i get another chance to type it in? I haven't synched my ipad and I have a lot of things in there that i don't want to loose.

    My little brother disabled my ipad but I know the password. How do i get another chance to type it in? I haven't synched my ipad and I have a lot of things in there that i don't want to loose.

    You don't get another chance once it has been permanently disabled. You have to restore it now. If you backup with iCloud, you can restore from that backup and recover everything. If you don't backup with iCloud, you are starting all over again.
    If you don't have a computer, you can restore with another computer running iTunes.
    Instructions can be found here.

    You might need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

    Hi Mahantesh,
    We have faced same scenario,this is happening due to SAP User ID password change.

    - If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3.  To identify yourd see:
    Identifying iPod models
    - Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod.  Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Hello i am new to the HP forum and have a lot of questions. does anyone know a lot about computers

    hello all, I am new to this forum and hope to find some help. I have a HP pavillion thats about 2 years old and having a bunch of minor issues and trying to find someone that can help. when i had HP warranty they seemed to do more damage than good. my computer starts up in selective mode always and I dont know much about booting and safe boot. I tried doing a system restore but it starts and will go for days without ever completing, so thats one issue. also I have alot running at startup and not sure what to disable and when i do disable it its still there after a restart. does anyone know a lot about PCs and can help me. I would greatly appreciate it.

    1.  yes.  there's no one place to find out how to do that.  you'll need to learn how to use flash software.  it's mature software with many features and there's no shortcut to learning how to use it.  it would be a surprise if you could build a decent game with those specs in less than 100 hours working with flash.
    2.  insignificant issue.
    3.  for someone unfamiliar with porting flash apps to iOS apps, no.
