BB Curve 8900 Camera Problem

Whenever I go to take a photo on my BlackBerry Curve 8900, the camera just freezes and won't let me do anything at all. Does this sound like I need to reinstall the OS? Thank you, Sam
In Thrust, I Trust

I have the same problem, whenever I open the camera, the camera screen is there, but the picture is black and my phone freezes. How did you reinstall the OS. I just updated my phone, restored it, and the camera still isn't working.

Curve 8900 Contacts Problem!

Hello, My blackberry has recently started to face some problems. When i try to add a new contact, My blackberry automatically freezes.. I did battery-pull, and quick-reboot... Nothing Works! Help!
Thanks!

Hi there,
It sounds like something might be corrupted here. Try the following. Back up your device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software just to be safe. Then try to sync your contacts with Microsoft Outlook or one of the other available options. Once you've done that, in the BlackBerry Desktop Software, clear the contacts database. If you are unsure of how to do that, let us know what version of the Desktop Software you have and we can help walk you through that.
After that, resync your contact info and you should be set. If that doesn't work, or if you have any problems, let us know. There are additional steps that can be taken, but they are a bit more of a pain.

Curve 8900 Text Problem

It says that i have 2 text msgs that are unread on the home screen but i don't have any texts waiting..what can i do to get rid of that ?..i dont know why it shows up..i wanna know when i get new ones but wanna get rid of that 2 new msgs when i dont have any..please help

Are they definitely text messages and not emails? Check in the Messages folder, the icon that is just a plain envelope. Open that and scroll all the way through see if its an email you need to open.
You could also try opening the text message icon and clicking the BB button, going to options, then general options and change the 'display message count' to NONE and then exit and save, that should get rid of the icon when you return to the home screen. When you have done that go back and change it back to UNREAD. It might refresh the icons and they wont come back. If it does you must have some unread texts or emails hiding somewhere.
If it doesn't sort it the only other thing I can think of is to go into your text message box and click the BB button on the date line and select 'mark prior open' that should definitely sort it, also do the same in your email folders too.
Hope it works for you, if not, sorry i'm out of ideas. Let me know how you get on

Curve 8900 - call problem

Can anyone please help. whenever i attempt to make a call using the green handset sign on the top left of the key pad, i receive the following message:
Uncaught exception:
net.rim.divice.api.system.ObjectGroupReadOnlyException.
It is written as shown above, any ideas out there?
Many thanks
Steve Green.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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. 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.
Best!

HELP! Bluetooh file transfer to Curve 8900 Problem plz help!

I recently buyed a BB Curve 8900 phone and I am having a problem with Bluetooh. I can send files from my BB to another phone or my laptopp. But when it comes to receiving files on my BB the other device (From which the file is being sent) says Bluetooth connection failed. I tried to transfer file from a Nokia and a Sony Ericsson phone but they just cant send the file to my BB.Please help me ASAP. I have tried all the steps in the manual.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
See this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!

Serious Problem with Curve 8900

Hello.
A have a Curve 8900 phone which was on the contract with T-Mobile a while back.
I bought it like new. It was used a bit, but never dropped or anything so hardware is perfectly fine and it did work while it was with the previous owner on the contract.
Contract was over and the man sold the phone to me. I unlocked it for usage with any network using the code I found for it and now the phone shows that it is unlocked and sees any network just fine.
Thing is that though the phone shows that everything is ok - I am UNABLE to make any calls, receive any calls (online works through my home Wi-Fi connection and Bluetooth connectivity is fine.)
Phone shows that it is CONNECTED TO network. (Tried even the original T-Mobile card) But no calls could be made or received. SMS cannot be received or sent as well.
I tried many things up to rewriting the firmware, wiping out - nothing helps. I have the tools needed to rewrite the firmware and system but I need to know where to look...
I need your help badly (just please do not write answers like replug the battery) - I am no novice in the field of phone repairs and unlocking but it is a first time I encountered something I'm even clueless what to do and what could be the cause. And yes - I do not have experience with BlackBerry in particular (just before you ask)
Please help.
Best Regards
Jack

Sounds like your phone is BLOCKED. The likely cause is the person who sold it to you reported it lost or stolen after you bought it.
Many phones will show as having a signal even when blocked although you cannot make calls as in your case.
Sorry mate. Take your phone back to the person you bought it off.

Curve 8900 problems

Hi, my Curve 8900's scroll ball does not always work, it feels like it is not touching the pad and just rolls without accomplishing anything. My phone will also just hang for no apparent reason and it is very frustrating trying to run a business this way. I heard somewhere that blackberry is recalling some phones & exchanging them for new ones, is this true and how do I go about starting this process?

This is tough to narrow down. Can you try another battery or better yet, take it to the store or authorized repair shop? It may be the battery, but I can't tell.

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!

Curve 8900 won't view surveilence cameras correctly

Hi!
I am a locksmith with Carl's Lock Shop in Co. Spgs, CO.
We view a particular web site with our shop cameras in order to sell our services...
The web site is www.videoalert.net
You will automatically be re-directed to thier mobile site...
should say "mobile access" or "mobile viewer" at the top...
Enter user name ppp and password pp then click next...
Choose either rover1 camera or pan and tilt (camera 2 is is disabled)...
Now the image, if you have any other Black Berry other than a Curve 8900, will update every few seconds with still pics...(no Blank screen between pics)
If your un-fortunate enough to have been suckered into buying a Curve 8900 you will get one image for about five seconds then instead of refreshing it just goes to blank screen...(if it does refresh it will just blink a half secord glimpse of the pic every thirty seconds or so)
T-Mobile Black Berry/ PDA support is no help at all...(have tried every setting in the phone and some settings only an **bleep** would attempt)
Have been connected with Black Berry support to no avail also...(if 877-255-2377 case # 7151298 was a legit deal( they seemed kinda dumb)
If you let the screen saver come on it will bring up a permanent pic that will not refresh...(Same thing as turning off java script in browser config)
It's painfully obvious to even a moron like myself that this new Black Berry has a different Java scpript or operating system that is not compatible with this particular 3rd party web site, that neither T-Mobile nor Black Berry are responsible for...Duh
I don't need them to tell me that...
I figured that out before I called them and spent hours trying to fix the un-fixable...
Dumb as I am, I know when I have bought a "Pig-In-A-Poke".
Oh Yeah the Streaming video on this piece of junk skips and locks up unless your on Wi-Fi so don't believe the "Hype" about how good it plays...
"IF" anybody has any ideas on what will fix this thing...
Call me direct at (phone number edited out for privacy)
Thnx,
Stang
problem not solved...
cliked solve button inadvertantly...

Curve 8900 - strange errors?!

Hi everyone!
BB curve 8900; v4.4.1.310; Vodafone Portugal data plan.
I'm having this problem:
My emails work wonderfully, so do text msgs, mms; blackberry messenger, all ok, BUT all my other apps won't connect.
Facebook says: error 101 try again later.
BB App world says: java.lang.nullexception
browser via data plan: it gets stuck in "loading"
I can get them all working through Wifi though!
AND YET, they work from time to time...I will receive from time to time, for example, FB notifications on my FB app that I'd already received on my email (and not on the FB app at the same time)
I dunno...I've made several battery pulls; plugged it into my mac and updated, cleaned unused apps and themes, cleared space...
I need some help..
thank you all.

Find a friend with a PC, you can use for a few hours.
I would recommend Desktop Manager, version 6. Download Desktop Manager from here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Use Desktop Manager to backup your BlackBerry first. If you don't already, you should do this on your own Mac Desktop for Blackberry as well.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=06997F04A7DB92466A2BAA6EBC8B872D
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
