Audible and BB Curve 8900

audible.com doesn't currently have the curve 8900 listed as usable device. Does anyone know if the audible software for the bold will work?

I did not receive a reply so I tried downloading the bold version to my Curve8900. So far I'm having trouble with book marking. Whenever I pause the book I'm listening to, when I return the book always starts back at the beginning again.
Any Ideas?

How can I get my blackberry curve 8900 to update to 5.0 and get wifi to work?

I bought a blackberry curve 8900 around a year ago on an AT&T plan back when data plans werent required, so it just has minutes and texting. because of an issue i had with data before, i have data disabled completely on my account to prevent any mistaken data being used up and charging me. my AT&T contract recently expired so i called them up and got my blackberry unlocked, and will be soon switching to tmobile.
My problem is that it refuses to update past 4.6 over to 5.0 because of some restriction on it placed by AT&T, and my wifi wont work unless i have data enabled for the same reason. Is there anything i can do? I've tried installing 5.0 from different service providers onto my phone but it never installs properly.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While you can (with just a trick or two) use any carriers OS package for your specific model number, it won't do any good since all 5.0 level OS's require a data plan, regardless of which carrier. So, without that, you can't update to 5.0. Further, it is the data plan that activates BIS -- which is what is used to run the BlackBerry Browser...hence that non-functionality also. Basically, a BB without a data plan is, to many, pretty useless.
There are other browsers that bypass BIS and will use a generic data plan (assuming you have that)...OperaMini and Bolt come to mind. You might give those a try.
Good luck!

Lack of support for Curve 8900 and Storm in terms of theme builder

Searching hard for a workaround to be enable to export or even start creating theme with 480x360, as for now i always got back on the "wait for 4.7". But the customers are yelling now.
Second thing: Modify the media screen, as you may noticed, the media screen never changes regardless how the theme looks.
I wish you all a happy new year, make me happy to, and provide me with some useful content, so that i will be there at your place to support others.

are you talking about the Plazmic toolkit ?
If so, you should post on their own forum.
https://www.plazmic.com/PlazmicForum/index.jspa
other wise, I don't know... Curve 8900 and Bold shouldn't be so different ?
anyway, things always take time with new devices. shortage of device, not enough supplies for accessories, Media Sync compatibility available several days after a device is released...

BB Curve 8900 - randomly stops receiving emails and requires battery pull

I'm a newb to BB and this forum has helped a lot but my BB Curve 8900 randomly stops receiving emails about every 2 days and requires a battery pull to correct.
When it stops receiving emails and I go to the browser, it is also unable to connect. I basically lose all connection to data. I can receive calls and sms.
Turning unit off and on does not help.
I need to do a battery pull. Then starts working fine right away.
I'm with Rogers in Canada
Is there a fix for this? Could I possibly have a bad phone? Battery pull once is a while is fine but to need to do that every 2 days is not.

Something similar happens to me. I have to keep resending the service books and then it works fine, try this, at least it will stop you keep doing a hard reset. I have read somewhere else that this can be influenced by having your phone to turn off at night etc. So for now I have turned this feature off. I can actually receive emails via wifi and the failure is only on GPRS. It sounds a bit strange but I am also becoming convinced that it only occurs when I leave home, go somewhere else and then come back.
Read this below. I did do all this but it hasnt worked for me, may help you though

BB Curve 8900 died and will turn on but still has the red "off" sign

Hi all. Great site.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8900 and last night the battery completely drained and I could not connect it to a charger until I arrived at work this morning. I plugged the phone in around 9:00 A.M., and even now at 2:00 P.M. it is still not charged.
Strangely, the phone WILL turn on if connected to the charger, but the radio is still off. The red "OFF" sign is still there on the upper-right corner of the screen.
Is there something I can do to get it to actually charge back to where I can use it?
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
These batteries typically do not like to be fully drained. Sometimes doing so renders them useless. But, there are a few things for you to try before you determine that as the root cause.
1) Get a new known good battery. See if it will charge properly in your BB. If so, then your battery is indeed damaged and useless.
2) Give your battery to another known good BB of the exact same model. See if it will charge properly. If so, then your BB or your charger may be damaged.
3) Try a different known-good charger in a known-good wall outlet. If it will charge now, then you know it to be your charger to be damaged.
These steps will help determine where the root cause is, which will guide you to the actions necessary to remedy the situation.
Good luck!

BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time

Hey all
The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night. I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
Try a different power outlet.
Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
Good luck!

BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the Exchange Server (((((PLEASE help me)))))

Dears, I am new to the BlackBerry world, and I just got my BB Curve 8900 last night, well I’m very familiar with other iPhone, Nokia& Windows Mobile.. I managed to push my gmail to my device, WOW it’s very nice, but trying to do so for my work mail!!! BAD LUCK They use Exchange Server, we do have web access but through SSL, so even so can’t push it to my device, some forums were talking about the desktop redirector, I install it on my PC (I can’t touch our server of course, even our IT will never listen to my request); having the latest Desktop Manager and the latest Desktop redirector, working with Outlook 2007& Vista OS.
I keep all of them running while trying everything, but always getting an Status: NO PIN in the Desktop Redirector window? I have the following Q’s please..
1- Is there is any S/W that I should install on our server? If so, it means it’s OVER for me and it’s BAD LUCK.
2- Why I can’t get my work email although of following the same procedures described in the installation guide?
Please advice, your input is really appreciated.
Regards,

Thank you very much for your input, but: our company is using https://............
I mean we are getting OWA through secure server, and I tried the same installation process but also NO LUCK??
Kindly suggest another workaround or so? as I need to access my email remotely.. again I appreciate your input, meanwhile I'm encouraging others to H E L P...

How to sync Curve 8900 and Agent Office

I am a Realtor who uses Agent Office contact management software. I have changed from a Palm OS to the Blackberry Curve 8900. My database is not transferring over and I have not found a way to make it work. Has anyone found the secret? My phone numbers are not all showing up and my memos did not transfer at all. My provider is T-Mobile

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Agent Office contact management software? Is that an application that ran on your Palm? Or is it on your PC and you were synching your Palm against it? If the former, then you need to check with the Agent Office folks to see if they have an app that runs on the BB and can provide you with conversion instructions. If the latter, then you need to get the data you want into a PIM that is compatible with BBs...here's a list:
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
If your Agent Office isn't listed (I don't think it is), then you need to find a way for Agent Office to get the data you need into one of the compatible PIMs, then set up the BB to synch to that PIM:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Unless there is some other secret way...but I'm not aware of any...

Data Issues with New Curve 8900 on ATT

Hi, I just got this Blackberry Curve 8900 yesterday for ATT, and it's my first Blackberry. Everything was working fine up until earlier today when I realized that my data wasn't working properly. The data will work with certain apps, but certain apps with also not connect. My e-mail and BB Messenger also will not connect. The only way for me to get them to work is if I connect to wifi, but other than that on my EDGE the majority won't connect.
Here is a list of apps i've compiled that shows what works with what:
-Works with Data & WiFi-
BB Browser
iheartradio
FML
poynt
-Won't Work with Data but will work with WiFi-
BB E-Mail
BB Messenger
BB App World
Facebook
Twitterberry
Myspace
Google Maps
I went to Manage Connections, and Mobile Network Options and my data is set to on, and i've done muliple battery pulls to no avail. When I turn on my WiFi all my emails and alerts that I missed come rushing in. For example I resent a Service Book to my device and I did not receive that until my WiFi was turned on. My "EDGE" is in capital letters so i'm receiving data.
Can someone please help me solve this frustrating topic? It really is mind boggling.
Thanks!
Stephen B.

You have a BlackBerry Data plan right? I'm assuming so since it works sometimes
Also if you notice when the Wi-Fi is off, if you go into Manage Connections | Service Status does the BlackBerry Internet Service say it's connected to the Mobile Network? Or if you go into Mobile Network Options can you run a Diagnostics Test and see if it sees that your data is connected?

BLACKBERRY CURVE 8900 WONT OPEN MEDIA FILES*!

HI, I HAVE A BLACKBERRRY CURVE 8900. THE PHONE DOESNT ALLOW ME TO OPEN UP MY MEDIA FILES (SONGS, VIDEOS) EVERYTIME I TRY A WHITE SCREEN COMES AND IT SAYS UNABLE TO PLAY CONTENT. PLEASE HELP! THANKS

Glitches like this will often correct themself.
Try another reboot as described. Leave the BlackBerry powered on.
Remove the battery for five minutes, replace and reboot.
If it continues, you may need to simple reload or upgrade the operating system.
What is your Operating System loaded to your device?
Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.x.xxx"
What is yours?
