BB Curve 8900 Update 4.6.1.133 Info

Please can someone tell me what the 4.6.1.133 update does for the BB Curve 8900?
I have updated my Curve and would love to know exactly what it has done to improve my BB.
OR,
Is there a link where i can read it myself?
Thanks!

In most cases, there are not any ChangeLogs published with the OS upgrades.
The .133 upgrade is a bit old now, you might find something on it searching the 8900 forums here, or some comments from other users who upgraded and posted their findings.

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!

Unable to update device software from 4.6 to 5.0 (No updates available) (BB Curve 8900)

Hello guys.
I've been trying for the past few days to update my BB Curve 8900's Device Software but whenever I click update, it always says "There are no BlackBerry Device Software updates available."
Please help.
Thank you!

Hey TheLittleBee,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
BlackBerry Handheld software availability is determined by your network service provider. If your network service provider does not have OS 5 availabile then there will be no updates.

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?

THANK YOU!!

FREE Call & SMS Blocker for Curve 8900

Is there anyone know an application for blocking unwanted call & SMS FREEWARE for Curve 8900???
like black&whitelist... but i don't want the shareware...
Thanks a lot.

I don't know of a free one. You can also look at iCallManager.
Meanwhile if you want to block ALL SMS messages, you can do that at Options > Security > Firewall settings and check the items you want blocked completely.

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!

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 & mp3 files?

Can someone who has a Blackberry Curve 8900 let me know whether or not one can listen to mp3 format files on it? (the curve 8900) as I might buy it if it does, thanks! My sense from what I read on the product's description page is that it doesn't have the codec for mp3 but does for among other WAV files -it'd stick if I'd have to convert my mp3 files to WAV but I wouldn't have no gripe if I knew what I was getting myself into.

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.

Java Script for Blackberry Curve 8900

I have a BB Curve 8900 on Orange in the UK. I am trying to access live football on the BBC website but it states that Java Script needs to be activated. Can anyone help to resolve this?
Thanks.
Dazzler

Hello!
That setting is on this page:
from within the Browser App, ( > Options > Browser Configuration).
You may also find that changing, also on that screen, your Browser Identification to another browser might help your BB interact better with some websites.
Good luck!

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.

Installation of Applications on BB Curve 8900

I am facing so much problem in installing themes on my black berry curve curve 8900. I downloaded the v4.6 Desktop Application software and installed it on my computer as my BB is having v4.6 OS Software. Then I downloaded themes from the web with both .alx and .cod files. I mean the download to my knowledge was complete. then i saw the installation process through application loader of my Desktop application software. Now the problem is that those themes are stored on my PC and when I browse the .alx file even, it gives me a message that " There are no new applications available for my device". I cant understand this problem. Can anybody help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Lauren,
It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
I hope by only putting yours in rice overnight that you'll be ok.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

ANYONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
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.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
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. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to 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
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
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:

KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
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:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software

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!
