BBM Problem on Bold 9900

Hi All.
I seem to be having a problem with my Blackberry Messenger. It seems that when I send a message it appears to send and reads 'Delievered' however the other person does not receive it at all. It does not even show me the 'R'
I have tried the following fixes:
-Taking Battery out whilst phone is on. I have done this three times but to no avail
-registering the handheld onto wireless network again. Didn't work
- checked network coverage. All good in my area
-tried reinstalling BBM twice but also didn't work.
I've been having this problem since 4pm UK Time yesterday, but I thought if I left it it may rectify itself but it didn't.
Another point is that I receive emails on time so there's no problem there
Model: 9900
OS: 7.1 bundle 1149
Carrier: O2 UK
Memory 8GB internal and 8GB external

I haven't noticed any UK data or BBM issues being reported, and since you've already deleted and re-added BBM, I'd just wait it out, or even check with O2 to make sure they specifically don't know of any data issues.
As asked above, is this for ONE contact, or many?

  • BBM version 6.1.0.49 - my bbm contacts cant see my Dp when i change it (Bold 9900 )

    Hello,
    I just bought my blackberry a few days go and I can’t see the display image of BBM contacts and they also cant see mine.
     The only time I could see their display image is when they change it.
     I tried changing my and they still can’t see it.
     I have tried the following
    1.       Updated OS to version 7.0.0 bundle 2406
    2.       Updated BBM to v6.1.0.49
    3.       Registered by BBM via the HRT
    Go to Options
    Select the Advance Options
    Select Host Routing Table
    Choose the “BOLD” point
    Press your BB menu
    Select Register Now
    Then it would be showing some message, “Your Handheld registered with the wireless network..”
    Restart your BlackBerry devices.
     4.       Rebooted & Restarted after each update
    5.       Removed the battery and restarted
    6.  Used Desktop manager to delete and reinstall BBM
    7. Downgraded BBM version from 6.1.0.49 to 6.0.032 to 6.0.0.25
    8. Downgraded OS system from Version 7 latest to the version 7 before it
    9. Deleted and reinstalled app world
    10. in fact i have done everything i can possibly think of and still have the same problem and result
    At first I thought this would be ok after adding several BBM contacts, but I have added up to 10 contacts today and still cant see their display image and they too cant see mine.
     I would really appreciate assistance on this.
     Kind regards

  • Bold 9900 trackpad problems

    Hi everyone. Please I'm having serious problems with my Blackberry Bold 9900 trackpad. At times, it starts scrolling itself in different directions usually up or down. This makes me unable to use functions as it scrolls away from whatever I want to click on or type. Please what can I do? It's so frustrating.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
    You may also need the use of these tricks:

    http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
    Also do keep in mind that if the problem is hardware (e.g., defect, damage), then there is no amount of internet-distance diagnostics nor software/OS level of repair that can do any good. Only in-hand evaluation by a qualified BB hardware technician can give you a proper diagnosis and estimate if it's a hardware issue.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Urgent HELP needed: Problems transfer from Bold 9900 to Z10

    Dear helpdesk,
    I've just received my new Z10 and want to transfer all data from my old 9900.
    Using Link software seems to work fine.... until the copying from the 9900 is almost finished. Then I get the message "Data could not be copied from your device due to the following errors: There could have been a problem with the device or communication during the backup. Verify that the device is tuned on and connected".
    Surely that IS the case.... I've already removed the old BB Desktop SW and reinstalled the Link SW.
    Without success unfortunately.
    What do I do wrong/do I need to do to get my files copied to the Z10?
    I am also wondering what would happen to the memos which I made using the 9900's MemoPad?
    Thanks for your swift help!
    Marnix Kerkhoff

    Hello MarnixKerkhoff,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Forums.
    Reinstall BlackBerry Desktop Software and try to backup the data from your BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 smartphone. Does the data backup successfully? 
    The BlackBerry MemoPad data will be transferred to the Remember application on the BlackBerry® Z10 smartphone.

  • BBM - No option to save chat history on Bold 9900

    I have the Bold 9900 and upgraded the software to 7.0.0.579 as well. I have the latest version of BBM but I don't have the option of saving chat history. This option is just missing from the list. I have asked my friends who own this same BB but they have this option on BBM. Help this is very annoying.
    Kamlesh.

    Here are my privacy settings again. My formatting in the original question did not hold:
    Use custom settings for history
    Always use private browsing mode - unchecked
    Remember my browsing and download history - checked
    Remember search and form history - checked
    Accept cookies from sites - checked
    Accept third-party cookies - unchecked
    Keep until: I close Firefox
    Clear history when Firefox closes - checked
    The 'Exceptions' submenu has several domains set to "Allow" - these are the cookies I would like Firefox to keep on exit.
    Settings for clearing History - In this submenu, 'Cookies' is unchecked. While this is unchecked, Firefox will not delete any cookies on exit, even though I have the 'Keep until I close Firefox" option enabled. But if I check this box, Firefox deletes all cookies on exit and ignores my Allowed Exceptions. This seeems to make no sense to me.

  • BB Bold 9900 APP ERROR 200.....HELP!!!

    I have a BB Bold 9900 and has the white screen with App Error 200 Reset screen, I have tried taking the battery out and plugging it into computer to reset it but comes up with the update screen and then says repair and then says No BB device updates available...what do I do now as just have an exspensive brick????? thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB30100 "JVM 200" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
    Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
    You also might want to do an OS reload. 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.
    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.

    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:

  • Bold 9900 Internet email account setup

    I've look at a lot of post on this subject but no luck.
    I have just taken delivery of a Bold 9900 and put in my EE sim (UK). Out of the box phone upgraded to 7.1 Bundle 2061 and everything seemed to go OK.
    Phone, texts, wifi, browser all work fine. 
    Trying to get it to link to my hotmail account and no luck.
    Setup - Email Accounts - just asks me for enterprise account details which I don't have.
    Go into email icon and select options, email account management, get the message "unable to open email set-up application. Contact service provider" which I did an dthey said its a BBerry problem. (helpful)
    Tried to go to www.blackberry.com/integrate and mobile.blackberry/com/integrate as I've seen in a few logs and I see nothing pointing me towards Communications which I think is what I'm meant to be looking for.
    Bit lost now. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry to tell you, but they fobbed you off. Refer:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Social-Lounge/How-This-Site-and-Formal-Support-Work/td-p/2540...
    Regardless of if the problem is with EE (which I suspect) or with BB, EE remains your sole channel for formal support on the matter. If they cannot resolve it, then they must escalate formally to BB via channels to which only they have access. Consider -- you pay EE for all of your services, you pay BB directly nothing at all. EE is responsible for all of your service delivery, and all of your formal support, even if that means they need to escalate to BB to resolve your issue.
    Cheers, and Good Luck!

  • Hotspot Field on Bold 9900 missing

    Switched devices from a Bold 9900 (which hotspot was available and fucntioning) to another Bold 9900.  Followed instructions as described in the blackberry desktop software, but have spent almost 2 days now updating software etc trying to get device to provide "Hotspot" field in the manage connections area.  The previous bold 9900 worked fine with the "hotspot" used with a laptop.  Have updated the OS to 7.1.0 Bundle 2807 which is the same as the old Bold9900.  The replacement bold originally belonged to a corporation that upgraded to new devices, hence wiped the data before doing the device switch....but believe there are ghost issues as the last time it rebooted the previous BBM contacts showed up.  My question is, are there settings somewhere that I may have missed that needed to be changed?

  • Bold 9900 not coming up if battery dies down.

    my bold 9900 phone doesn't come up if my battery runs down, even when pulged to power supply.  i will have to charge the battery with an external device before it can come up and then charges. If i remove the battery, my pc doesn't reconize my bold 9900 but if i insert a charged battery, it does reconize. Pls what do i do to solve this problem.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Personal email AND Enterprise email on Bold 9900?

    I have my own personal blackberry Bold 9900 that I am using for work as well. I wiped it and did the Enterpise activation..great...work emails now coming in.
    But now I can't add my personal emails...
    So the question is, if I wipe it again, and add my personal emails (gmail, outlook.com) BEFORE I do the enterprise activation...will I still be ableto send receive from my personal accounts as well as have my work email?
    Thanks,
    M

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The first thing to do is ask your BES admins if they restrict, via IT Policy, the use of personal email on BES-activated BBs. If they do, then you have your choice to make...work only, or personal only. If you choose personal only, then you will need to conduct a specific WIPE:
    KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    If they don't restrict personal email, then I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull 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.
    If you never de-integrated your personal email accounts from the BB, then they actually should return to it now without you having to do anything further.
    I actually recommend getting BES going first, and then adding personal email accounts after it's working well.
    Good luck!

  • Desktop Mgr 5.1 will not synch Outlook 2007 addresses/contacts now that rogers email added to my Bold 9900

    I have a BB bold 9900, use Outlook 2007 on my desktop pc, and use BB Desktop Manager v. 5.1. I used to be able to synch my BB 9900 for calendar, contacts, and memopad, until I added a data pack to my Rogers account and set up the BB 9900 to receive copies of my ****@rogers.com emails. Then all of a sudden when I went to synch the BB, everything else synched ok, except the Address Book (contacts). I got a message saying "the default service for your device's "Address Book" is no longer available. The new service is *****@rogers.com..." [ie. my email address]. It went on to say that if I wanted to try to use my original default service (which I do, I want it to synch addresses between the blackberry and my outlook 2007 contacts, which has always worked before), I should go to "advanced options" and "default services" on the BB9900, and try to reset it. I did this, but the only "option" the blackberry allows me to have for synching addresses is "[my email]@rogers.com". I am reluctant to choose this "new" system, because I suspect it means it will synch my blackberry contacts with the rogers.com online address book, which I have never used. Is that a correct assumption by the way? I have over 2000 contacts, and I've been very busy the past few weeks so have not had a chance to solve this problem (i've simply just been synching everything other than my contacts/addresses, but in the meantime, i've made several changes to them on both the blackberry and outlook, so it's important that I be able to synch those two databases in order to update them.) I would prefer not to update my Desktop Manager from 5.1 because that version has always worked flawlessly for me, and I have heard of people having major synching problems with later versions. Rogers wouldn't help me with the problem, but "hinted" that it might be a setting in the DM 5.1 that needs to be adjusted. Any advice from anyone on how to rectify this? thanks in advance

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 OS software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

    Helo Everyone
    I tried to upgrade my Blackberry Bold 9900 device software from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but having difficulties. I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager but there was no version 7.1.0 listed among the available updates. Even when I tried to do it directly via the Blackberry official website, Version 7.1.0 was also not listed. Finally I tried to do the update with my phone directly by accessing: Options>Device>Software Updates.
    It displayed my Current Version of 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and an available version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I Clicked Perform Update to download the new version it showed preparing to download but then displayed an error message such as "The download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using any of the following methods:Wi-Fi".
    Meanwhile, I did not perform the upgrade with Wi-Fi because I have an active blackberry data subscrip of 2GB from my mobile network provider.
    Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the latest Bundle.
    Thank you all as i await your kind solution.
    Solved!

    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/downloa​d_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:

    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:

  • PC WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE bb bOLD 9900

    i bought a new computer with Windows 8 OS. I downloaded the BB desktop manager to be able to sync the PC with the BB Bold 9900. It gives me an error 1723 with the following message. "DLL required could not be run. Action: Repair rim Usb Driver. NT.07D232B6_7904_4970_8B22_8FA..."
    The Microsoft community suggested I unregister and re register Windows installer. I did that but still when I connect the phone to the PX via the USB it is not recognized. 
    I contacted HP support and after 30 minutes  of questions the guy suggested I contact BB support. I don't see a direct link to BB support only this link. Can anyone help?

    OK. Thanks, but how do I repair the rim us drive?
    Are you on Win8 or Win8.1, as the other poster who reported an identical issue? In either case, I don't find any useful KBs on the matter...you might have better luck searching:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
    But, if you are on Win8.1, then I'm starting to suspect a compatibility issue...AFAIK, the Desktop Software is compatible up to Win8, but perhaps not with Win8.1. Refer:

    Good luck!
