Hi and welcome to the forums!
A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101 Tips & Tricks
When you say the device if "thinking" it is really trying to work without having enough system resources to work in. Best thing is to pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc.
There is also a free app called Quickpull that will do this without your having to actually pull the battery. Check it out here: Quickpull
I have mine set to restart every morning at 4:30 so my BB is refreshed and ready to go each day. Sometimes, however, a real battery pull seems to do an even better job such as when you have installed any 3rd party apps or when your BB just feels sluggish from prolonged use (like posting in these forums
When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too.
Make sure you are closing apps using the BB menue key; not just the back arrow (which doesn't actually close the app, but leaves it running in the background and eats up memory. Hit menu, scroll down to close and select close.
Go to media-options and see what your device memory limit is set to (5, 12 or 15 MB on my Curve) This is the amount of device memory set aside for the device to work in. You want to keep your file free number higher than this number or your BB will begin to delete old emails, texts etc to make room for itself to operate.
Let us know how it goes. Happy to have you here!

S 4.5.0.188 is the highest and latest available release for the 8310.
Here are directions and the download.

Turn off your memory cleaner, it is worthless to your situation and does NOT clear additional memory for your device, it just wastes battery and resource, and ONLY cleans already deleted memory to a high secure government specification. Nice for the FBI, CIA, drug and p0rn dealers, worthless for you.
For low memory issues:
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free?
Now, leaving the device powered ON, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot.
What is the File Free now?

File Free/File Total is off the Reservation (22M/83M Bytes Free)

When I look in Options/Status and click the menu button to check database sizes I see that "Content Store" is almost 3800 Bytes. How can I see which programs specifically are eating up my memory ?

You're in great shape!!!! I only have Google Maps, Jtetris, and Opera Mini installed and i'm at 23MB for my file free )
Usually if you're free number is between 5-10MB you should be worried.

BB Curve 8320 OS 4.5 hangs periodically, makes the phone unusable

Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile Curve 8320 running OS 4.5 whcih I updated from the web on my laptop, and installed to the BB device via a USB cable. I also am running the latest BB desktop software, 4.7.
I'm having hanging issues where a clock icon appears on the screen and makes the BB impossible to use for several minutes. This happens several times throughout the day and is very frustrating.
I do not use a media card. I am, however, using Google's synch software for my calendar. I wonder if that's causing the hang.
I went to Options/About and see this:
BlackBerry 8320
smartphone (EDGE, Wi-Fi)
v4.5.0.81 (Platform 2.7.0.78)
Cryptographic Kernel v3.8.5.32a
Micro Edition Configuration: CLDC-1.1
Micro Edition Profile: MIDP-2.0
Micro Edition JTWI Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Media Version: 1.1
Micro Edition PIM Version: 1.0
Micro Edition File Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Bluetooth Version: 1.1
Micro Edition Location Version: 1.0.1
Micro Edition Security and Trust Services (APDU) Version: 1.0
WLAN Version: 2.3.0.74
If you can help me solve this hanging issue, I'd be very grateful.

Low Memory. 4mb file free is severely lacking. You need upwards of 15mb file free.
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free? Now, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot. What is the File Free now?

Blackberry curve 8320 spinning hourglass forever end ever

I have a BB curve 8320, version 4.5.0.81
I have visited Tmobile, they replaced the SIMM card. I have a 4gb memory card, yet my phone is constantly in the "spinning hour glass mode" and unable to use. I thougth perhaps it was something to do with service in the Austin TX area, but it happened the entire week I was in Colorado and California. This makes the phone useless--what to do?
The only solution I have found is to remove and reinsert the battery but this is a pain and soemtimes it does not work. My phone is spinnign right now!
And yes, I do a quickpull on it nightly as suggested by T mobile.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ahh sorry
correct keystrokes would be ALT+Right-Shift+DEL
and 2206859bytes translates into roughly 2.1MB which isn't alot and may be leading to the problem itself. I would recommend cleaning out some memory on your device, after deleting some of your unused files, cache/cookies, old memos, old texts, anduseless apps... pull your battery and re-check your memory. and see if that helps aswell.
Divide your Bytes by 1024 twice and thats how many MB (roughly) you have

Curve 8320 How to read and input Japanese?

i've got Curve 8320 with UK orange carrier. i've already downloaded Desktop Manager version 4.6 with Media on my PC. I want to know where i can download software for japanese support to my mobile? Orange UK seem doesnt have East Asia or Chinese, Japanese support in https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.75 (Multilanguage)
Package Version: 4.5.0.75
which doent include Asian languages. many thanks in advance

Wireless carriers disfavour that but you can install device os for your device model but from another wireless carrier.
Check this link: Blackberry OS FAQ
Find a carrier who provides device OS with asian language support download OS package and install on desktop computer.
After that delete Vendor.xml from installed files.
Connect your device to desktop computer and run BB Desktop Manager/App Loader to update the device OS.
Do not forget to backup all your sensitive data before updating the device OS.

My Media Card keeps Rebooting my BB Curve 8320

I recently got a replacement bb Curve 8320. I had a media card in my old phone and when I put it in my new phone it kept rebooting my cell phone every 1-2 minutes. I went and bought a 4GB Media Card, had the guy at T-Mobile Format it and then went home and placed all of the photos, videos, music and purchased ring tones from my old media card to my new one. When I placed the new Media Card into my phone it keeps doing the same thing. I get the hour glass and then the phone reboots over and over again. Someone please help!!!! The phone has been wiped out and all applications have been updated, so I am not sure why this is happening.
Very FRUSTRATED!,
Thanks,
Jes

its also best when installing the 4.5 software to your BB, that the media card is removed from the BB during the installation. It has been known to cause these problems. Once the software has been fully reinstalled, you can then reinsert the card.
If your card was in for a previous installtion, best to format the card within the BB again.
babylabes
In my very first post I gave you directions on how to locate the exact version installed on your BB. It is very useful information to be able to help you. Also why do you plug the card into your PC to put files on it, you can plug your BB into your PC and transfer them to it that way. and in your case I would follow the instructions of making sure the .dat files are not being copied over, and make sure you dont have anything that is not media content. something you are transferring is corrupted. dont copy the folders over. Copy content in the folder to the new empty folder on the BB. (reformat while in the BB first so you have the folders)

File Free Problem....

Ok so i have a total of 50462720 bytes and only have 10133042 free. I know i have some application that take up room but is there a way to increase my total and free bytes?

So, once you've rebooted read these links below.
Following the suggestions and tips will clear memory space on your device. You want to get the File free number up above 15mb file free, preferably to around 20mb file free.
And THEN, you will cease losing emails and call logs DUE to low memory. Thatls your problem, most very definately, without question.

BB Curve 8320 software problem

I got my BB Curve 8320 today ... everything working well and I've been able to figure things out myself. Amazing!
BUT ... I went into BB Desktop to remove some applications I don't want. Device was plugged in ... this is the error message I got:
"BB Desktop Software does not have BB Device Software for the device that you have connected to computer."
My device says: Platform - 2.5.0.36 and Application - 4.2.2.180
BB DM version: 4.3.0.17
So ... what does all this mean? And what do I have to do to fix it? (I knew everything was going too well!)
Thanks ...

Simple voice recorder/save for curve 8320?

Can anyone recommend a simple voice recorder for the curve 8320 where I can record voice notes and save them directly to my phone instead of emailing/mms'n them using the built in send voice note feature on the phone? I have tried using handango and their software sucks, stuff doesn't work and I tried the vr+ voice recorder program they have and don't like it, I just want something simple.
Does it exist?

soon, a Handheld OS version 4.5 will be available for your carrier (if you're at AT&T it already is). Inside it there will be a video mode : you'll be able to take pictures like today, and also 3GP videos.
If you want, you can install it from AT&T and delete the vendor.xml file on your PC before launching the Desktop Manager to upload the OS on your Blackberry.
Apart from that, I can't install applications on my Blackberry so I lag a bit about available wonders other people can install on their Curve.

Recommend bluetooth headset for Curve 8320?

I've been using a Motorola H605 that I bought when I had a RAZR and the reception seems to be very poor with the BBC (lots of static and clicking noises). I also had the problem when I used the headset with my iPhone a few months ago. Can anyone recommend a good brand of headsets that work exceptionally well with the BBC?
Thanks!

I use a Plantronics Voyager 520 w/BB Curve 8320 (T-Mobile). Sound quality exceptional on both ends (mine and call receiver-no complaints). Easy to use (single button operation for call answer/end/volume/voice dialing/power on-off). Great battery life! Highly recommended from an actual user (me). Found it at Buy.com $44/free shipping (when I bought it in April---probably even cheaper now). Also, as my first BT device I found setup extremely easy......had it operational in 5 minutes out-of-the-box! Don't know where I'd be without it!
Hope I have helped!

Curve 8320 won't charge

I have a new Curve 8320 that doesn't charge. It worked for a week and then it just stopped charging. I've tried the USB charger, three different BlackBerry wall chargers, and two different batteries and nothing has worked. I had a friend charge my battery in her Curve and the battery and phone both worked fine until it was time to recharge again. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? If not, does anyone know where I can send the phone to have the problem fixed? BlackBerry has been less than helpful since I don't pay for their technical support (which is BS if you ask me....it's not like I'm trying to run the world from my phone, I just want it to charge). The phone less than a year old.
Thanks in advance,
WJ

Where did you purchase the device?
The carriers which sell the devices provide the initial first line support. If it is less than a year old, in most cases, the warranty is good for a replacement device. That will vary for some carriers.
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).

If it is unlocked you will have no problems using on any other GSM network carrier in Ireland, unlocking the devices doesn't disable any features.
