BB Curve 8900 Rringtones very quite ???

Hi new to the forum and have a blackberry curve 8900 but i have noticed that the ringtone on it is very quite - i have been through all the settings and changed to hi but still a bit quite - is there any links to louder ringtones or can i set it up diffrent ?
Regards

I also suffered this problem. I just updated the software. The phone rings the first few times, but now it's all quiet. It plays music, so the speaker is working. It vibrates, so that is working too. The ring tone is dead. Is there a way we can revert back to the previous software version?
Other programs also run slower with this update. The email notification used to pop up with 1 minute after I received an email (I checked). Now it takes a full 5 minutes before I would get a notification.

Changing My Blackberry Curve 8900 Housing

Hi, I’m planning to get a Blackberry Curve 8900. Before I buy this phone I would like to know if I can change my housing to pink. I’m aware that a phone comes in 3 parts. A front cover, a middle cover and a back cover. I would just like to change the front and back cover as I think the changing the middle cover would be to much trouble unclipping parts. Is changing the front and back cover as simple as unclipping the cover of and on or do I have to remove and unclip parts to do this. I’m scared to unclip to much as I think I may break it. Pictures or videos would be very helpful. Thanks.

Hi. I am wondering if silicone cases for the Blackberry Curve 8900 are better than a hard case? I ask this because I originally when I got my phone bought a hard case for it and the battery would get very warm and drain at an alarming rate. Once the case came off things were fine. But I really would like to encase it if possible...would silicone be better or just cause the same battery issues again? Advice please. TY.

Bold vs Curve 8900

Hi
Other than the ability to hook up to 3G networks is there anything else that the Bold can do that the new Curve 8900 can't do?
If there are no 3G networks (and none planned) in my region (and I don't travel very often) is there any compelling reason not to go for the Curve 8900?
Thanks
Matthew

MY personal opinion, IF all things are equal to you between the two devices, get the 8900, as you have increased 128MB application memory, double that of other (and Bold) devices.

Curve 8900 Track ball does not select (but moves properly)

Hi, the track ball of my Curve 8900 does not select when pressed. When rolling it works ok. It seems to be a SW problem because I changed the sw version and it started to work again (not very reliable) and know it does not work anymore... Any idea what to do? Thank you very much!

Hi, I have exactly the same problem written above. Is it really the only solution to by a media card? Why can I not download my pics from the internal memory of the device? Is there no way to download the pictures I have done until now without media card?

Curve 8900 Keeps going in Standby Mode

Hi,
My Curve 8900 keeps going into Standby mode by itself even when nothing has been touched. Gives message "Entering Standby mode. Press the Mute key again to exit Standby mode." Looks like others have posted similar problems. The device is quite new but without warranty.
Thanks.
Anil

Mine keeps going into standby too. What a piece of **bleep** all blackberrys are. If it weren't for the messenger I would have switched to a nokia a long time ago. I doubt this thread will raise a response from RIM.

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.

Curve 8900 on 3G network

Hi All!
I have just signed with 3 Australia for their bb network which comes with the Bold 9000...however I am thinking of getting the Curve 8900. Before I do that though, I'd like to make sure that:
1) The 3G sim will work in the Curve 8900 (I think this was answered in an earlier post, but I wasn't sure about #2)
2) BES/BIS would work as well
Basically, I'd love to simply substitute the Curve for the Bold on the same contract, but obviously without the 3G capabilities.
The 3 personnel were quite adamant that it would not work, but I have had bad experiences previously with their advice!
Any help is appreciated Thanks!!

Hi,
I was making myself the same question, I know the 8900 works on EDGE but will the phone features (basically phone calls) works on the 3G?
Thx,

Upgrade OS of BB Curve 8900

Hello Experts,
How to upgrade OS on BB Curve 8900 when we I am getting an error " No Sufficient Memory Available" . My device memory shows that 67MB is available.
Is there any way to upgrade my current OS version to latest version. Hope I am not missing anything during the upgrade planning process.
Looking to hear more from experts.
Regards,
Hemant

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Device Memory is irrelevant for upgrades...AppMemory is what matters...see this:
There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, 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. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
All of that said, you further will need to clarify exactly which method of update you are attempting. There are several to choose from, and many sound similar when they are actually very different. Please provide specifics about how you are attempting this upgrade. My advice is to use this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
While written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you have downloaded and installed to your PC.
As for "latest version" -- you will find that via the download portal sites (a link in the procedure). If you desire to use an OS package from other than your BBs original carrier, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the procedure, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
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 unlock bb curve 8900

hi how can i unlock my blackberry curve 8900 for free i dont want to pay

You're not very clear in what you're saying.
But regardless, then if your seller will not unlock the device for free, you must puchase the unlock code.
Just pay for it, no one here is going to give you one for free, RIM doesn't do that.
A good reputable unlocking vendor I know of personally is
http://unlock.berryreview.com/
And not expensive.

My Curve 8900 and Google Custom Search

Hi,
I try to access a mobile site m.yamaha-motor.co.id using my BB Curve 8900, everythings seems OK, but I found out that one element inside this website can't load, then I try to access the same site using Opera Mini and it's working nicely.
This element using Google Custom Search, is there some thing wrong with my device / browser?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thx.

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?

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.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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...

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?
