Accuweather on Curve 9300 never connects

Hi all,
I wonder if you can assist with a perplexing issue.
I am having a major issue with Accuweather on a Blackberry Curve 9300. when I install it and open it it simply never connects and I have noticed that my BIS service (blackberry logo next to the 3G notification) seems to disappear at the same time. Once Accuweather is closed down, my BIS service(logo) returns.
I have tried the following:
Upgraded my SIM card.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Accuweather.
Done a factory reset (loader.exe /resettofactory) on the blackberry and reloaded the OS6 firmware (6.0.0.749) for the phone and then reinstalled Accuweather.
Nothing helps, it does the same thing every time.. Please  note that this is a brand new phone and all other services, such as email etc. work flawlessly. also my husband has an identical phone with the same OS 6 and the same upgraded SIM card and Accuweather works fine on his phone.
Any assistance in this regard would be really appreciated.
Thanking you,
Gail de Wet.

You tried running a diagnostic report, settings>network and connections>mobile network>press blackberry button>select diagnostic test>press bb button>run, see then if everything is working

  • Curve 9300 connecting to boot rom problem

    Hi everyone, I have a curve 9300 and I tried to install an update to the OS. The problem is when i get to the part that says "connecting to the boot rom" the phone starts rebooting and goes like this 3 or 4 times, resulting on a failed update. I already have tried to use another USB port, another computer, connect the blackberry to the pc with the battery pulled, tried another usb cord, all of which failed. Can anyone help me solving this?

    Hello Edi27 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue installing your device software.
    Did this error come up after the update installed or during the update? 
    Does the device display any error on the screen or just the BlackBerry start up logo? 
    Have you tried to reboot your device in Safe Mode as shown in KB17877?
    Thanks!

  • Connection Problem with Vodafone on Curve 9300

    I have curve 9300 with OS version 6 and with a Vodafone prepaid connection in Kolkata Circle. Recently I activated BIS 399 plan (Mail+Maggenger+Surfing) plan but Vodafone is still unable to provide me the service. From the day of activation ( 8 days ago)  my tower is constantly fluctuatuin between 3G and 3G(B) when the network mode is selected as 2G&3G. They have asked me to select my Network Mode to 2G only and after that my tower is shifting between edge and EDGE. They haven yet figured out the problem. I do not think that there is any problem with my handheld but their network. Anyone here faced problem similar to this please share your experience. Please also help in this regard. Thanks in advance.

  • BB Curve 9300 won't connect to email servers

    Hi all please bear with me as I try to explain this!
    I have a BB Curve 9300 on PAYG with Orange. It has always worked fine and emails for all email accounts always came through.
    Then yesterday Orange tried to take the £5 for the BB services but I didn't have enough credit so obviously it all ended. I topped up today and they have taken the money. However my emails are not updating/downloading.
    I have checked and I have the latest software and I have gone into options -device- advanced system settings etc and it says my handheld is registered for bb services. (But now when I go to options, I can't find the device option to re do this!). If I go to setup - email accounts, it tries to open up the emails I had set up it says checking etc then comes up with your device had a problem connecting to the server.
    I've tried a battery out reset etc to no avail. If I click retry it just keeps coming up with the same message. I can access Twitter and Facebook on it (Twitter is slow and alerts take a good few minutes to come through).
    My wifi is set up and working, I've got the 4/5 dots, i'm connected to 3G and have UMA in the top right of the screen. So everything appears to be the same as it was before the payment problem.
    Can anyone please suggest what to do? Please keep it simple as I'm not that great with IT stuff, until I know what i'm doing!
    Any advice will be much appreciated!!
    thanks
    Mary

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you could try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • WHY SUCH AN INJUSTICE THAT BBM CANNOT BE USED ON MY CURVE 9300 OVER NORMAL DATA SERVICE AND OTHER PLATFORMS CAN USE!

    Hello,
    I am using Blackberry Curve 9300. I purchased this phone for Rs. 17,250 before some 3 years, I considered RIM to be a Company providing premium services which is unique in itself and which worth spending on them and the most important thing is those are not available to non-blackberry users! Especially in case of Blackberry Messenger, which is such a service connecting all the blackberry users around the world, making a mark of precious symbol of the users of BBM.
     Before few days I came to know about BBM being available on Android and Windows phones, my question is why this injustice with your own customers, you provide the app which they will use with their normal data plan and we people who are your real customers, who trusted in you have to spend not less than Rs.129 for just BBM!I must say RIM is the most back-stabbing company I have had ever dealt with! People are laughing at us as they are using the same service for almost free and we have to spend a huge sum for availing the same service, my question is are these non blackberry people your customers or we people who contributed in your success with hopes of trust?
    My question is not why you made available BBM usage to non-blackberry users with such flexibility but my question is why can't you be loyal to your own customers?
    I hope that RIM would have a pleasing justification.

    Thanks with the signature but I already removed it from my profile too.
    I was never under a rock when it comes to technology I know that in India before few months yoru Blackberry Z10 was Rs.44,000 and now it is Rs.21,000. I understand the ploy of making BBM cross platform to generate revenue, first in a technical sense and another by creating it advrtisement in the marker.
    Do you think that taking an undue advantage of our loyaty and enduring the mockery of your own customer would take you anywhere? Don't you think that abusing your own customer's prestige would even affect you negatively? While your customer is paying Rs.129 for just BBM the Android person sitting next to him is lauging at him for he paid you and call him fool! Profits doesn't starts only by making huge business decisions but from the loyal and satisfied customers. You may always find customers all around always complaining but deep down if you have touched their needs they will bless you with good words at your back, maybe in such a way that you will never come to kow but it will grow you more. I am not here to deliver you a marketing lecture as i am in corporate law field but let me tell you what I read during my graduation, it said something like one disatisfied customer can discourage ten potential customers from buying your product and I have started feeling the same in case of online shopping but I do not know when the company giant blackberry would come to know! 
    When you said about expanding customer base, think about a company who is expanding its base of customers by disatisfing their current customers who always took pride in you by providing them services at harsh terms and in front of their eyes others are getting benefits at a very low cost.
    Our family business is textile manufacturing, not as big as blackberry but we always knew that if we will start selling our goods by describing them as really premium goods and start charging out of lips and bounds, of course my product could be premium worth the price but one thing I could be missing would be a point of finance, there could be cheaper alternatives in market which could be selling at lower price which same usage. My concern is just to keep our eyes open.
    Now consider a phone on which I can use Whatsapp which satisfies my messaging needs, gtalk and yahoo messengers for my im needs, push mails for emails, browsing and downloading for just Rs.99 and on the other hand Blackberry services for Rs.389, it is indeed clear the reason of downfall, though it is labelled as premium service and indeed it could be, permium service as I said earlier.
    When you feel that your boat is sinking, you do not have only have to pull out the waters but on the priority basis you have to cover the hole too! Blackberry is just pulling out the water leaving the hole as it is!
    If you say that legacy mode in BBOS could bother you  from providing BBM for BB device, you know that it cannot be and even I know that, any technical person can know that as it is a little secret that I can use BB browser without BIS and many other apps are example of the same (to be a bit informal). See, I never asked this thing from last three years but now when you are making it cross platform why not to give a little benefits to those who paid you till now, if you can give it to those who are nothign to you?
    My question is that why can't you provide BBM to be used on the normal data paln for your own old and loyal customers who paid you such a handsome amount from many years for your services as how you provide on other platform, just for BBM not email and rest of your services?

  • Some problems I have with my Curve 9300. Hope you can help me.

    Hi everyone.
    I decided to post here to know if someone can help me out, I'm a blackberry curve 9300 user - O.S. 6, I've had the smarthpone for a while now, but since the beginning I've been having some minor details, I want to know if there's a simple solution for those things.
    1. Browser.
    Since the beginning, the phone native browser has this problem where it starts to load a page but at the middle it just stops and goes back to the home page, so that I can't load any page. I have to search for another browser which works just fine, but maybe there is something I can do to solve this since youtube or othe pages only load on the BB browser and as I said, it doesn't load the pages. It doesn't promp any error message or anything.
    2. Don't-know-what-it's-for Icon.
    For a few months now, there's this icon that I can't tell what it's for, I've already search all over the APP for updates but nothing, I just decided to coexist with the icon as it never goes away. Maybe there's something I'm not doing right to check the icon. Here's a screen capture of the mentioned icon.

    3. Crazy pointer.
    Sometimes, not always, the pointer just go mad, it start to move by itself, and when one tries to write it becomes impossible, I've tried changing the sensitivity of the pad but no changes.
    Thanks in advance for any advices you can give me.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Awesome! You should now be fine for those two... my guess is the crazy pointer may just be due to an over-sensitive trackpad (usually happens when the trackpad gets covered in skin oils). Try cleaning it once in a while with a soft cloth to remove any finger oils and that should help with that.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Blackberry curve 9300 photos wont view

    My blackberry is taking pictures, but when i go to view them in my media, i cant see them? is there anything i can do to solve this?

    Hi EMS1994,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    Please try to reinsert both your media card and your battery and test again.
    If this does not resolve the issue, are you able to see the pictures by navigating to your Pictures folder in Explore? This KB article provides the steps. "Explore the media card and Internal Memory Content" http://bbry.lv/SczDmH
    Are you able to access the pictures using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software when your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone is connected to a computer?
    Hope this helps.

  • MEDIA SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE - CURVE 9300 3G / WINDOWS 7 ULT

    I have installed the Blackberry desktop software and my new Curve 9300 connects and preforms the feature of syncing with my Outlook 2010 and does the backup and does the software upgrades for my phone.  The one thing i cannot seem go get to happen is the media sync.  The card is installed and under the option the card is enabled and sees the 2GIG therefore i assume the mass storage mode is turned on since both check boxes are enabled at the top of STORAGE in OPTIONS.
    What can I do about this?  I have just about spent my entire day reading thru the net trying to get differnt takes on the problem but at this point before i have installed and uninstalled to the point of creating havoc on my laptop i would just like to know a direction to take.  Also if this matter or not when the phone is plug in thru the USB cable and in "My Computer" I do not see the 2Gig Card listed as a drive or anything like that. 
    Current version of OS software on the phone is 6.0.0.461
    Current Blackberry Software is  Dec 6.2010 Bundle 21

    Thats good advice.

  • Trouble when typing and scrolling on Curve 9300

    My girlfriend had a bb curve 9300 and has an issue when she types text and scrolls through the menus. When typing txt the phone will produce random foreign characters (the language is definetly set to english) and the cursor will move randomly throught the txt so she can't construct sentences as it will sometimes start typing within another word. Also when she's scrolling through the menus the cursor will move all over the screen and not in order. E.g when she scrolls down it will jump to an icon sometimes on the other side of the screen. Her phone provider has washed their hands of it saying its out of warranty but they sent it away anyway and it came back saying its water damaged, impossible as its always in a case and never out of her sight, and wasn't worth their while fixing it. I sent it off through my bank insurance and its come back today allegedly 'fixed' however within half an hour its doing it again. Any suggestions apart from giving her my bold when I get my new one when I upgrade next week?

    In order to use your 9300 you will need to have a specific BlackBerry BIS data plan. Without it your device will not work as expected.

  • Curve 9300 Doesn't start. Stucks at boot screen

    Hi,
    I've got a brand new Curve 9300 less than a week ago. I've updated it's OS to version 6, and it worked perfectly.
    When I attempted to configure my email, it automatically asked to update with my carrier's email setup software. I just chose ok. I got three warning messages, which I don't exactly remember but it was about something may not function correctly (regarding to version difference). I just continued installation, and it asked for a reboot.
    When I rebooted the mobile, it goot stuck at the boot screen. Then nothing! The thin status bar bellow BlackBerry's logo fills up until it's full, then nothing happens. When I wait for longer time (a few minutes), I get a message on a white screen with a tiny font with "App Error 606", with one option of 'RESET'.
    I pulled out the battery and restored it a few times, nothing different. 
    Notes:
    The LED does not do anything, except for a single red blink when it reboots
    The keboard seems to be responsive. I get the Alt and Shift indicators in the top right corner when I press them
    The power button doens't seem to cause any response
    I appreciate your help.
    Edit: The Desktop Software shows that the device is not connected, even though it's attached to the USB cable.
    Edit: The Alt-Shift-Del combination causes the system to go to a blank white screen with that "app error" mentioned above

  • 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.

  • How to transfer photos from curve 9300 to pc in a Vista OS

    How do I transfer photos taken by my Blackberry Curve 9300 to my pc, which uses a Vista OS?  With the Blackberry Desktop software I synchronized the data and I backed up the phone, but I cannot find the photos on the pc.  The backup files cannot be opened, but some websites claim to sell software which would allow me to open the backup files. 
    I also tried to access the phone's photos through the pc's control panel, but the control panel does not allow access to this drive.  It shows that a device is connected, but I cannot access it. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Vista is a cranky beast...like every other OS from MS, it was quite flawed IMHO, and hence had a very short lifespan.
    For the backup, indeed you are correct that the file is of a proprietary format...this is by design. 3rd party PC apps do indeed exist to try and parse it out to a "human usable" format, but quite often photos aren't even included in the backup, so doing so would be of no value anyway. Please refer to the "backup" link in my auto sig on this post for best practices regarding backups.
    The best way to obtain these files (photos are simply computer files, after all) is to use Mass Storage Mode. Refer:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/HOWTO-use-your-blackberry-as-a-USB-de...
    KB11879 What is mass storage mode
    KB13564 How to enable or disable mass storage mode on the BlackBerry smartphone.

    KB29523 How to manually transfer files between a BlackBerry smartphone and a Windows computer
    There may be other useful KBs...you can, of course, search the KB database just as well as I can for you.
    Do keep in mind that Vista is wonky...there are situations where functionality via Vista just doesn't work, but it's a fault of Vista rather than anything else. It's also possible that your version of the Desktop Software is not the most recent...but you've not revealed that, so all I can do is point you to the download location for the most recent:
