BB Curve 8330 that chirps

I have a BB Curve that chirps when I am in the middle of a call. It doesn't matter if I am using my handset, if it is on speakerphone, or if I am using my bluetooth. Verizon sent me a replacement phone and it is still doing it. Is anyone else having the same problems>

Hi,
The problem you describe was found to be an error with the software on your phone. See the thread at http://community.vzw.com/t5/BlackBerry-Devices/High-pitched-sound-beep-while-on-calls-on-BB-Curve-8330/m-p/169248#M13360

Curve 8330 not being recognized by the Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager . . .

I just downloaded the Mac version of BDM. It's a long time coming, but I'm glad that it works. I have a Pearl that was easily recognized by the software and easily synced with all my data. However, I also have a Curve 8330 that will not sync. In fact, when plugged into the USB port, the BDM doesn't even see that the 8330 is plugged in, it still sits there asking, "To beging, connect your device to your Mac using the supplied USB cable."
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.
UPJ

I would suggest, first off, rebooting the Curve.
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

Curve 8330 has sound in all but phone calls....need options

Got a blackberry curve 8330 that will produce sounds for videos, music and other media but, when calling or receiving calls, there's not sound at all. Tried the tried and true battery pull and an OS update but, neither were successful. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Thanks!

Hi bhamnite and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Are you still experiencing the issue with your incoming call alert?
Are you using a custom ringtone or one of the device defaults?
You can check the profile settings by going to:
Profiles -> Advanced -> select the current profile which will be identified by active in brackets -> Phone
You want to check to make sure “Out of Holster” is set to Tone and “Volume” is not set to mute.
Thanks and have a great day!

Blackberry Curve 8330 shorting out

Hi
I have a curve 8330 that the keyboard keeps shorting out. verizon has replaced it at least 4 times in the last 3 months if not more. basically my problem is that the keyboard shorts out and none of the buttons including the power button work. the last tech i talked to said its very common in that model blackberry. so my question is has anyone else with a curve 8330 experienced it and what have you done to fix it? im getting tired of going to verizon every month to get a new phone!

Since I posted i've looked at other websites and forums and it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem and its on all cariers too, not just verizon. Supposedly the 8300's have a problem with moisture
Hi, Nick,
I obviously don't know what type of environment you use your Blackberry around, but if it is an environment that is prone to high humidity or moisture, you should consider not having your device around that environment. All cell phones are susceptible to water or moisture damage, not just the 8330. I am sorry you have had so much of a headache with your device.

Can't open picture attachments on BlackBerry Curve 8330

I just traded my Pearl 8130 for the Curve 8330 yesterday. While I think I made the right decision, I'm a little annoyed by the fact that for the most part, I can't open email attachments. Keep in mind, this is when I actually use the Internet Browser to access my various accounts. In other words, I'm actually going to www.gmail.com and www.hotmail.com. When I get into my Hotmail, it'll show the paper clip signifying an attachment but won't give me any sort of option to open it. It just lists the file name(s) and that's it. When I go into my gmail, if I've got an email that only contains one or two pictures it'll usually open those. But any more than that and it's the same deal with Hotmail, except that it'll actually have the "6 Attachments" link that I can actually click, but when I do it just lists the file names in regular type and there's no option whatsoever to open them. It doesn't open any kind of thumbnail either.
It's kind of a bummer to me because I have a lot of saved pictures in my email accounts that I'd like to save on my phone as well. If all BlackBerrys are like that, I'll just deal with it and shut up. When I get email attachments in the accounts I've set up to go directly to my BlackBerry I can always open them, so maybe this is just normal for BlackBerrys. But if mine is actually having a problem I'd really like to get it fixed. If that's the case, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I already resent Service Books and took the battery out and put it back in. That's all I've tried so far. If all else fails I can just take it in to Alltel to have it looked at but it'd be nice to avoid having to do that. I know there are other ways to go about this... I can always just manually move them to my phone's memory card from the computer and stuff. Getting them directly from my email would just be a little quicker.
Thanks, everyone!

Blackberry browser isnt exactly the same as a browser on your PC. It has limitations, such as sizes. when you added the email to your BIS account its now mail on your device which is the primary function of a blackberry. when using BIS or BES emails, they are designed to truncate if too big, but if you wish to look at more it gives you that option. www.hotmail.com is not designed to accomodate blackberry. Your best option is to stay to the BIS email option.
Not to mention it uses less of your data bandwidth to use BIS email rather than browsing to www.hotmail.com

Google Maps no longer works for my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. What is wrong with Google???

For the past 11 months, Google Maps and Gmail have worked wonderfully with my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. Tonight, all of it stopped working. I tried to load Google Maps and failed. Kept getting the error message "Network Unavailable, blah blah blah". I tried restarting the phone, removing and reinserting the battery, until I finally uninstalled Google Maps. Now when I point my browser (OperaMini) to m.google.com to download and reinstall Google Maps, it says "Sorry the Google Maps application does not work on your 8330." This makes NO sense. Why would Google suddenly remove support for my phone? Is there a work around? Before uninstalled, I tried all sorts of tricks with editing permissions to no avail.
Also, Gmail is refusing to check mail, occasionally saying that a data connection is needed. That also makes NO sense as I have great phone reception.
My internet (OperaMini) and normal calling and texting capabilities are unaffected.
In conclusion: Is there ANY WAY to get these Google applications to reinstall and work on my phone? Or has Google screwed me over? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks,
Hyun

Can't transfer calendar: Palm Treo to Curve 8330

I've been helping my husband switch over from his Palm Treo 600, using Palm desktop, to new BB Curve 8330. A salesman transferred name and tel #s only. I've managed to switch most of his Palm into Outlook, and sync'd Outlook with the BB. The only problem now seems to be that the calendar is not syncing over to the BB. Suggestions???
I have tried to sync setting configurations several different ways: to sync all or calendar only, to have Outlook override device, and two way. Nothing will get the calendar over to the BB, although all his addresses and tasks are there now. Help!
TIA,
Michelle (for Chuck)

Hi,
Outlook 2003 and desktop manager v.6 will be perfect!
Yes install the main email address on the Blackberry to match Outlook.
On the Blackberry you get a calendar for each email address you use.
Only one can be synchronized with the Outlook calendar.
You can go to Outlook, tools, email options and make sure of the default account.
Then on the Blackberry from the home screen, options, advanced options,
default services. Use the main email options CICAL is the calendar and CMIME is the email.
By placing them as default you then sync email address to email address calendars.
Make sense?
Let me know if you need anything else!

New verizon curve 8330 missing browser

Hi,
This may sound like s dumb question, so my apologies. I just activated my new (well old, but new to me) Verizon Curve 8330 and it does not have a browser app. I tried to go to opera to send me a download link, but even with that I can't get my phone to go to it. I did perform a security wipe before I activated it. I can't seem to find a browser to download to my computer to install through the desktop manager either. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Are you sure your data plan is in place? How did you activate it?
Lets try this:At the home screen go to the connection icon,click on it,
and go to service status, click on it, menu key, select diagnostic test, select
run. In the course of the test the phone your data access will be checked and
a registration request will be sent. After the test completes you can read the categories
and see if a PIN test worked, and registration request was sent successfully.
If the test fails I would call the carrier and have them verify you plan,
If the test is successful they the following:
Go to options/ advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification email. Then go to email settings and send service books.
You will get an confirmation of setup for each email account.
After this is complete, do a battery pull to reset the device.
Let us know now it goes!
Thanks,
Bifocals

Blackerry Curve 8330---I cant hear anything, but they can hear me??!!

I recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8330, Verizon. In the first couple of days, I started having problems where I would go to make a call and wouldnt hear anything....however, the other person on the other line tells me later they heard me. In order to fix this, I have to take out my battery and put it back in. Apparently, I know two other people that this has happened to on several occasions---as for myself, Ive had my blackbery for a month and had this happen at least 4x and its starting to get annoying.
Any advice on what to do?! Return product?
Thanks

This type of issues arises due hardware melfunction. Contact your carrier for support or else you can take help from RIM support if available.

eh? No, that is not true.
While charging either to a wall outlet, automobile charger or the USB cable to the PC, the device is perfectly usable for ALL functions.

Update to Device Software 5.0 on Curve 8330

RIM sent me an e-mail today inviting me to upgrade my Sprint Curve 8330 to Device Software 5.0. In the past, this wasn't available on Sprint devices. My computer is a Mac, so I connected to Blackberry Desktop Manager and it said that there are no upgrades available. Am I able to upgrade my device software?

Hi

Same experience with me. Carrier is Bell Mobility. I think BlackBerry has missed a step somewhere. Mine says same message "no updates available" and takes me back to reference v4.5 which is my current OS.
Check the FULL OS version. 4.5 on its own is meaningless. Options > About 3rd line will show the full version on your device. For example, mine shows v5.0.0.681.
Then find your carriers' latest offering from here
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and compare the two.
There is nothing preventing you upgrading to a newer version from a different carrier providing you navigate to the downloaded OS on computer C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader and delete the file vendor.xml.

Hi,
File to Idoc and Idoc used is ORDERS05.
Is IDOC occurence on target side is unbounded or 0..1???
If multiple occurence means then u need to change the IDOC structure, just change the occurence to o.unbounded.
Whenvever i am opening the payload with notepad i am able to see the space as 70th character and whenever i am checking the XML the space has been truncated for same.
I understand from above that the payload is correct with 70th character is space , but when u see the XML Payload in moni, the size is less or the white spaces are trimmed out.
So u neeed to add extra attribute on sender FCC
node.fieldContentFormatting nothing
by default it is trim u need to change as nothing..
Let us know the result
