8830 World Edition Quit Syncing Non-timed events to Outlook

I have searched high and low, tried every solution offered, and none have helped me thus far. My 8830 all of a sudden quit syncing any calendar items TO Outlook that are non-timed like birthdays, many of which are recurring. It will sync other appointments. I thought it might have started after downloading Facebook. So I removed the application, I do not have a Facebook calendar or any other CICAL, and yet it still won't sync properly. I have tried limiting the scope of the transfer to a few days to see if that would make a diffference. Nada. At this point, the calendar on my phone is more accurate than Outlook (thank goodness it's not the other way around). Everything else, tasks, address book sync just fine. I have upgraded both my phone and DM to the latest version hoping that would help. Still no change. PLEASE HELP! I am going crazy here.

I'm having somewhat similar calendar backup issues with my 8830.  Scares me that you don't have any responses posted yet after two weeks.  Hope help arrives soon.

  • No Browser on 8830 World Edition

    My wife has inherited an 8830 World Edition on the Sprint network.  It was formerly in use for a business and has some of the features blocked such as the web browser.  She would like to now use it for personal use such as email (which works) and web browsing (which doesn't work).  Is there any way to unlock these features?  The only thing we can do is try and go to the Sprint Store  to (hopefully) download a browser and it gives a message that  "the it policy does not allow downloading third-party applications."
    Any help in unlocking these features would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    What you need to do is remove that IT Policy. See this KB, method 3. Be sure to read the whole thing...the BB will be wiped clean, as if from the factory.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Firmware Update for my blackberry 8830 world edition with Bell Canada

    Hi does anyone know if there is firmware update for the Blackberry 8830 world edition with the carrier being Bell Canada?  I am running version 4.2 and I know there is 4.5 but I am not sure if this applies the my phone with Bell Canada. When I boot up my desktop manager and checks for updates and says that there is no update.  I don't want to update if it is not necessary and not be able to run my blackberry.  If I am able to update where would I go to get the 4.5 update?

    You have to repair Desk Manager or unintall and reintall DM, but this time uncheck "Auto update" and anything that refer to "update" the reason why I mention that is because everythime you run DM, it goes online and check for newer version and put this file "vendor.xml" in the Blackberry Common Folder, and with that file in place, it will block the program from installing the newer version from a difference cell company..
    From what I see 4.2 is the only version that is up to date for a 8830...but if you have a 8820, you can update to 4.5. 

  • Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

    I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
    When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message: 
    "a problem occurred when trying to render page"
    Can anyone help?

    If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
    Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

  • Help Needed with my inactive Verizon 8830 World Edition...

    Hello all, new to the site and am looking forward to both the information offered and whatever way I can contribute...
    I have a Verizon (not active) 8830 World Edition that have been unused now for 2+ years as we had moved to Scotland, UK for educational reasons and have since used Orange and the Blackberry's they offer.
    My wife is going back to the states and we'd like to use this Blackberry with a Simm card bought to use for both local calls whilst she is there and calls back to me in the UK. We previously bought a card to put in the phone but it did not work and when going through the cards support they informed us we needed to call Verizon.
    As before mentioned the 8830 World Edition is NOT registered with a carrier/Verizon anymore.  Called Verizon  at 888 844 0395 and they told me that I HAVE TO HAVE my phone connected with a Verizon Plan and that is the only way it will work (proprietary).
    The phone IS unlocked as we initially used it once we moved to the UK but now we want to use it back in the US to call home here in the UK with a US Simm card...
    Seems a shame if we can't and I'm sure there is a solution out there if anyone with the know how is reading... any help out way is greatly appreciated...

    That is correct. Spot on.

    That is also correct... it is usable OUTSIDE of the USA on GSM networks, but NOT in the USA on ATT or Tmobile. Only Verizon in the USA.
    Sorry, that's the beauty of the 8830.

  • BB 8830 World Edition use in the UK

    Hi to All
    I have been given a BB 8830 World Edition from Sprint  that I want to use in UK. Can I use it with a UK Orange Sim card ? Will I need to ask Sprint for it to be un-locked for use in the UK ?
    scribelog

    Yes, Sprint will need to provide you with the unlock code so you can use that SIM card.

  • 8830 World Edition - Does it support Java Applications

    Does the 8830 WORLD Edition support Java Applications - not a java enabled browser but JAVA APPLICATIONS?
    Thank you 

    With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Any backlight now?
    Are you saying the screen is black and you cannot anything? How do you know it is set to 100 and 2 mins?

  • Rev A on 8830 World Edition?

    I am trying to decide on buying a Curve 8330 or a 8830 WE and the deciding factor will be if the 8830 WE can do Rev A or not.  I will be on Verizon and the phone will be from them.  Does the 8830 WE support Rev A now?  If not, will there be some kind of free/cheap firmware upgrade available to do so in the near future?  I've heard that an "upgrade" will be coming out and I don't know if it is true or that if it is true that it will be something that can be easily done to current 8830s.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  The similarity in the Blackberry model numbers is a little confusing.  I am specifically referring to the 8830 World Edition, not the Curve 8330.  Verizon's website says the Curve 8330 will not be Rev A upgradeable (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedP...) but says nothing about the 8830's Rev A capabilities or lack thereof.  I sent Verizon an email this morning asking the same thing but haven't heard anything back yet.

  • 8830 World Edition - Vodaphone NZ

    I purchased a 8830 World Edition branded Sprint overseas. I live in New Zealand and want to connect to the vodaphone network. Is this possible or do I need new firmware?

    Hi Gavin and welcome to the forums!
    I think the best answer we can give is to contact Vodaphone directly. The technology between sprint and vodaphone may not be compatible.
    Hate to give you the wrong info.

  • Sprint 8830 World Edition SIM issue and possible cause

    I recently purchased a Sprint 8830 World Edition as a good travel/backup phone. The device is unlocked, as verified by going to Options>Advanced Options>SIM Card and then typing MEPD. Everything there shows Disabled.
    Here's my problem:
    While in the U.S. just to test it out, I inserted a T-mobile SIM and the 8830 searches for a GSM network, and after a while shows "no service". I also tried an AT&T SIM and the 8830 does the seach again, and after a while shows "no service". Am I getting this because I'm the U.S? Is this any indication I'll have a problem in another country using a local SIM card?
    Addition info:
    When the 8830 was released, way back when, I found a comment from someone saying
    "this (8830) is only unlocked for GSM networks, and presumably only those GSM networks that aren't in the same region as Sprint networks (so roaming on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US is probably also out of the question"

  • 8830 World Edition Address Book Problems

    I have an 8830 World Edition from Verizon...
    Now I know they have their own software on the phone, and I'VE UPDATED it as of 2 days ago. 
    When I put a new contact in my phone, my phone completely freezes and I have to shut off my phone and turn it back on to get it working again.  When the phone freezes, the little hourglass shows up at random, and that's it.  Once I turn my phone back on, my new contact is saved though.  This is a very irritating problem.  Any ideas of how to fix the address book?  Please help me.  Thank you all very much!

  • My 8830 world edition won't register to local carrier BIS

    I just bought this 8830 word edition from ebay. Originally it's locked to Verizion but I already unlocked.
    In a first time when I insert my BB enabled GSM sim card, it's registered and my BIS service works fine. But After I wipe and reinstall the OS (I use 4.5.175 from verizon because there are no any local carrier have it the installer for 8830) - I still can registered (got RIM registration message and GRPS signal) but the service book is not pushed to the device. I am tring to push the service book from my carrier BIS site but there is no response in the device to receive it.
    Currently, I can't see the email settings icon - and in the setup wizard there are no option to add/create personal email - just BES email activation.  When I go to my local carrier CS - they remove my BIS account and ask me to do wipe and HRT. I do it but again, I got RIM registration message and GPRS signal but no icons for email setings, ym, gtalk that's usually pushed when the new device connected at the first time. Then my local carrier trying to create a new BIS account for me - but got "Invalid PIN or IMEI/ESN/MEID format" message. I ask them to use PIN and ESN instead of PIN and IMEI - still no luck and gota message as below:
    This BlackBerry(R) device is not registered with your wireless service
    provider.
    Please register this device and verify that the URL of the current web
    site matches
    the one provided by your wireless service provider.
    To register:
    1. In the Application list on your device, click Options, or click
    Settings Options.
    2. Click Advanced Options > Host Routing Table.
    3. Click the Menu key and click Register Now.
    If the error persists, contact your wireless service provider.
    My local carrier then check to their billing system and they said my simcard was not connected to the device. Then they said is strange issue and mention about the "invalid imei format" is not normal (the last digit of imey number on the device is 0 but the correct one is 8).
    I need help for clear out this issues. Any suggestion? Was I bought a suspended device? I'm trying to email [email protected] asking the information but they just auto-replying. I have plan to rise a dispute on ebay but I need to clearly the issue first.
    Hope got any enlightenment from this forum. Thanks.

    Hey jackonberry,
    Thanks for the reply.
    After checking your PIN number I see that your BlackBerry® data plan is not active.  Contact your network service provider to resolve this issue. 
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.
