BB Curve 8520 BBM SLOW

Hi,
BBM is slow sending messages.
I have turned it off and back on.
What should i do?
Thanks

Hi
No, they are quite robust although they do have an aversion to moisture.
If you get the problem again or any other strange behaviour, the Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
That often resolves the problem.

BB Curve 8520 BBM

Hi there when will BBM 7 be released for the 8520 Curve. I am stuck on the old one and most of my friend have the new one. I really would like BBM 7 now....

As you might have read, no one knows exactly when BBM7 will be released for OS5 devices, however RIM has said just a few weeks after the original... so, perhaps just after the first of the year?

My bbm messenger isent working curve 8520

My BBM messenger sent working curve 8520 ive tried turning if taking battery out and all I get is the 3 lines to say its sending but it never send to no one please help me

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given what you state, you are still using your home carrier SIM and are attempting to use your services via an International Roaming plan provided by your home carrier. Such can be challenging for some carriers to properly configure...I had two "failed" international trips before my prior carrier could properly configure my international roaming.
The challenge is that the configuration that your home carrier must do must be done while your BB is actually on your home carrier network; changes to the configuration cannot be done while you are actually roaming. To make this even more challenging, testing of the configuration cannot happen until you travel and attempt to use it.
This creates a great challenge -- if they configure it incorrectly before you leave your home network, and the testing fails when you travel, then they (your home carrier) typically can do nothing about it until your device returns to your home carrier network. (Hence those two "failed" trips of mine that I mentioned earlier.)
As far as I understand, your only option is to wait until you return home and then talk to your home carrier again, letting them know what happened, and hope that they can fix it for your next trip.
Good luck!

Cannot Send and Receive bbm to Curve 8520

Hi, I just came from Dubai and currently in the Philippines where I avail bbm promo through Smart. The customer service has changed my settings and has done too many reports to settle my blackberry issue wherein ?I cannot send message through bbm and it takes 3 hrs before I received a message from bbm

So, you've activated BIS and BBM isn't working. Try checking if you've enabled data services on your BlackBerry Curve 8520. Try referring to this article and let us know if it helps.

BBM 7 is not working at all on blackberry curve 8520

Bbm 7 is not working at all on my blackberry curve 8520 and I have tried to install it several times and my app world has said it has been installed but its still the same 6v software I had from before. Getting tired of this 'booky' software.

I'm sorry but the BBM is only for OS 6 and higher. That's what I find during my research which I did today!

My Blackberry Curve 8520 will not let me read my bbm.

My Blackberry Curve 8520 will not let me read my bb messages. how do I fix this? Why on earth does blackberry not have a number I can call rather than this stupid thing!!

At what point does it stop you from reading your messages? Will the application launch but you are not able to pull up any conversations?

Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
There is only one legal way to unlock a BB...refer:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/General-BlackBerry-Functions-and/Unlocking-your-BlackBerry-Gu...
If you have used up all of your chances to enter the correct unlock code, there is nothing further you can do. Even if you happen to have now the correct code, it is useless. Only the factory can now (legally) unlock your BB. Typically, I've heard that the cost of having RIM do this for you will be greater than the cost of just buying a new one. But, you are able to ask them...see here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.jsp
Note, however, that this process will start with a fee...
If you obtained your unlock code from somewhere but it was incorrect, your recourse could be with them -- however, they may well question why you exhausted all 10 attempts before contacting them.
If your BB was already MEP locked and you obtained it from a source that represented it as being able to be unlocked, then your recourse would be with the seller you obtained it from.
hossam55 wrote:

Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.

If your BB is properly unlocked, there is no (legal) software you can install that would re-lock it. Likewise, there is no (legal) software you can install to unlock it. Only the above procedure or the BlackBerry factory can do that (legally).
Good luck!

How to downgrade my blackberry curve 8520 from version 8.2.0.18 to version 5.1

Good day,
I wipe my phone and want the older version of Blackberry and still i battle to get my facebook and bbm working.
Please help me to downgrading my Blackberry curve 8520 to older version.
I dont want version 8.2.0.18
I battle to get my facebook working and dont like this new version
please,please help me!!!!
regards

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

How to upgrade firmware on Curve 8520 from v4.6 - v5 (don't have active Blackberry service account)

Hello
I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 runningt v4.6 formware. I see5.0 Bundle 1168 (v5.0.0.681 firmware is avaiable, platform 5.2.0.67), but I can't install it because I don't have an active service account. I get that error when I try upgrade it using USB cable and the Blackberry desktop software.
Any ideas how to upgrade or create and register one of these active service accounts?
I need to upgrade so that I can use USB MTP (which is not present in the current v4.6 firmware)
Many thanks
rich

Curve 8520 automatically screen goes white

i have an curve 8520 with os 5.0 and few months before i have facing this problem ...my phone screen become white after that i have 2 pick betry out thn reinsert it then it will work fine for 15-20 minuts than again it will become white and i wont buy my phone from any Currier bt nw m using airtel sim on my phone plz help me

So, even though you did not say, I can only deduce that you have tried ALL else that I already recommended without success, and have now decided that the OS reload is your best approach...hopefully you actually have tried those things since an OS reload is one of the more drastic resolution methods...if something less drastic could work, then it would be a shame to do something more drastic as the first attempt at resolution.
Nevertheless, since you ask, the simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages

You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
You may also need the use of these tricks:
