BBM: Uncaught exception: java.langlNullPointerException After wireless update!!

just did the wireless update (should have known better), so far, Blackberry messenger and Yahoo are giving me the error....any ideas?

Ah thank you for clarifying (and changing the topic title )
Personally, I avoid Wireless updates as there are too many variables to control for my liking.
Try doing a Clean Reload of the OS with desktop manager. That should get it
Hope that helps

  • BBM Uncaught exception java.lang.NullPointerException

    Help! I can not access my BBM because when I click on the icon all I get is the error message in the subject line. I have uninstalled and reinstalled messenger to no avail. There must be a solution, but I can not find it here on on Crackberry. Can someone please help me?

    Hi MJBSF,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Try backing up your BBM contacts and deleting the Blackberry Messenger database from your device. This article provides instructions. http://bbry.lv/buj0rQ Then test opening the BBM application before restoring your BBM contacts. If this does not resolve the issue, try backing up your device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and doing a clean reload of the device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7E1 Make sure you test BBM before restoring any data from your backup.

  • Blackberry Curve 8530 - Update Problems - Now no BBM - "Uncaught Exception"???????????

    Had tons of issues after doing update earlier this week.  Have just about everything resolved (finally), but now my BBM won't even turn on.  I'm getting "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, battery pull, etc.  Keep getting the same message, but only for BBM.
    Um, yeah....help.....please.  I'm  dying without BBM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Having the same issues I see posted here after the most recently Verizon forced wireless update except with my address book on a Storm 2.  I kept getting the icon to update, and I kept telling it not to update and not allowing the phone to schedule an update.  Then, one morning I wake up and my phone had updated! 
    I am a property manager for condominiums and HOA's.  My phone, it's contacts and calendar from Outlook are my lifeline.  All of my vendors, all of the Association's members, Board members, emergency contact info etc, are stored on my phone and laptop. After this forced wonderfull update, I cannot see any other contacts other than 1 787 times, I am receiving the uncaught exception java.lang.nullpointerexception" error option upon boot. If I do a search in the address book, it will find some of the contacts, but others are missing.  The only contact which is displayed in the contacts default view is the same one contact. I checked filters, I tried changing the sorting, etc.
    Of course this new update forced itself upon my phone the same morning during which at 5:00AM a major pipe burst in one of my Associations and crippled me for the next two days!  So during the first emergency call I spent about 20 minutes allowing access to all my applications without being able to make a single call and receiving all kinds of errors. 
    I just now am having a chance to work on the issue, and I call Verizon Wireless, enter my phone number and keep receiving the error that I must enter a 10 digit number 10 times. I finally get through to someone using my cell phone (which you are supposed to use a landline when calling if you need help with your phone), and they patch me through a line that says regular business hours are X to Z,  11:00PM being not during those times. So then I try the emergency support option, and get patched through to the same recording!!!!  What exactly is emergency support?
    So I am forced to support myself ....again.  I tried forcing an update to the address book and it simply won't sync. I double-checked the option to sync the address book and it was set to sync. I read to update the desktop manager through a clean install, so I did.  When I try to configure the address book serviceDesktop Manager 6 shows "address book not installed".  3 hours into this whole thing I believe I have found the answer which leads back to the original error I keep receiving...uncaught exception java.lang.nullpointerexception. 
    The only thing that worked for me was rolling the blackberry back, restoring the apps and data, and then forcing the information from Outlook back onto my Storm.
    Verizon...don't force updates upon your customers!!!!!  Not all of us have the time to spend several hours to resolve these matters!

  • Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException error after connecting to BlackberryPlaybook

    Hi,
    I know that there are many other threads about this error but they're all to do with bbm.
    I have this error with my web browser, whenever I press the button for options, everything in the browser freezes. If I hold down the options button my multi task bar DOES pop up, but my browser is still frozen and if I leave and return the error ( Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException ) pops up.
    I noticed this started happening after I began using bridge and tethering with my playbook.
    The first time it happened I rebooted my phone and it DID work but I can't keep rebooting my phone for this, can I?
    My phone is now almost two years old (come this December) somebody please help? I don't want to send it in for repairs.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    There's pretty much no diagnosing those -- they are the equivalent of the random errors in Windows for which tracing the root cause is fruitless. Basically, these are the last out in the programming code -- some event occurred for which there is no handler in the code. The fix is a code update that handles the event...but, again, knowing what the event is is pretty much impossible. So, there are a few things to try:
    Sometimes, the code simply becomes corrupt and needs to be refreshed -- just like a reboot:
    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.
    If it won't boot up cleanly, then you may need to try Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
    There might be an updated code set from the carrier -- check them via this portal:
     http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    The toughest possible cause is a badly behaving app. To find it, there are a couple of options. One is to see if you can read the log file:
    Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type 'lglg'. (You will not see anything while you type).This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably many pages) untill you see a line that says 'uncaught execption'. Click on this line. The name of the app will be in the info. Alternative methods for bringing up the logs are in this KB:
    KB05349How to enable, access, and extract the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone
    The other method is to remove apps one at a time, waiting a while in between (I usually recommend a week), until the problem ceases...thereby discovering the offending app. Still another method is to reload the BB OS cleanly, leaving some time between adding other apps onto the BB so as to be able to determine exactly which one is the cause.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • 8350i uncaught exception java.lang.NullPointerException after hard reset

    basic info:
    8350i
    v4.6.1.204 (Platform 3.0.0.73)
    Desktop Manager 4.7
    everything is good except that i've been using two batteries, one in the phone and one in a charger. when the phone's battery is almost drained i swap it with the charged one which of course causes a hard reset.
    this procedure was working well for at least a week or two until last month when i swapped batteries - after the hard reset i got
    uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
    i could make calls but all other software seemed corrupted... virtually nothing else worked... icons missing etc.
    tried all sorts of solutions but the only thing that fixed it was a full on device software erase/reload, then a data restore from previous backup. at the time i figured it was just a random thing and was glad to learn how to do a complete software reload.
    then yesterday it happened again (again, immediately at the end of the security check after hard reset). now i'm afraid to swap batteries because it would appear that every time i hard reset there is a 10% (my guess) chance of software corruption and a complete reload takes a significant amount of time.
    has anybody else noticed this? does anybody have a solution?
    can i swap batteries without a hard reset; i.e. swap while plugged into power? i haven't tried this yet for fear of causing my BB harm.
    any help is appreciated,
    john d.

    Hello, John.
    Make selective backup as it is described here:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8100&view=by_date_ascending&message.i...
    Backup only information that you need.
    There is described the purpose of every database you can observe when you're doing the selective backup:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB03974
    When you have done selective backup do the following.
    On your device go to: Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Open menu and select "Wipe handheld"

  • Uncaught exception: java.lang.​ArrayStore​Exception

    I recently started getting the subject message each time I reboot my phone. I attached part of the Event Log, below, that may help identify the software activity at the time the exception occurred. The problem started some time after I upgraded several apps (listed below). I have tried deleting those apps and then reinstalling them one at a time and in different order. Those apps apparently do not directly cause the exception.
    I would appreciate any insights, suggestions, etc. I would like to try to rectify the issue without resorting to wiping my device and then reinstalling firmware, software, and databases.
    Thank you.

    Hello!
    Given your description, I fear you have no choice but the drastic measure you dislike...if something has introduced OS level corruption, then nothing less will cure that. You may want to try this procedure to perhaps 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.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Uncaught Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

    Hi,
    My BB 8220 flip has always had battery problems. Lately the battery dies after only 8 hours in standby mode. The last time it died was two days ago, and after four hours of charging it finally turned back on - only to have the error 'Uncaught Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException' showing on the screen.  I have noticed that now the Call Log does not work for Incoming, Outgoing and Missed calls.  The SMS has also mysteriously disappeared so I am unable to send and receive texts.  My address book is still intact.  I don't have a data plan so I do not have any extra applications on the phone, simply what it came with.  I have tried to reboot (removing battery) a few times, but the error has not fixed itself.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Given your description, I advise an OS reload or upgrade. From a PC, you can install any 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", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.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.
    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:

  • The technique to solving Uncaught exception: java.lang.Error (and probably many like it too)

    It was a blessing in disguise that the above error came about or else I wouldn't have taken the effort to find a solution. At first, I tried to delete several apps, do a hard reboot several variations but it still wouldn't go. Then I thought of downgrading the OS back to the default version so that made me give the Blackberry Desktop Manager a try. Linking handphone to notebook, it was only then I found out an updated version was available so immediately I decided to update since the jump from version 5 to 6 was worth it. After the corrupted version was wiped out being replaced by a newer one, my problem was solved!

    Hi 
    1. Try to remove the batteries first reboot that will clear the application error
    2. Also try uninstalling the last application you installed before the error appears and reboot / unplug the battery. You can reinstall these applications later.
    3. If it still errors, you can wipe your handheld to clear / delete all the applications and reinstall the application required. How to delete all data and applications from the BlackBerry smartphone using the Security Wipe optio...

  • BB not communicating with computer & an"Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException" issue

    I am stuck between a rock & a hard place.  I would really like some advice that will prevent me from losing all of my contacts data.
    Firstly, I have not backed up any of my data from my BB!  I have now very quickly tried to rectify this today, uploading the software and downing loading all updates.
    I have some corruption or other on the BB that has caused me to lose 4 of my 5 email accounts and also unable to access the unread emails in the remaining account or text/call out.
    One of the messages that I get on the BB is Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException (the other is longer and I cannot remember what it said, but it was similar).
    I have read that I need to backup, wipe then restore to get rid of the corruption.  My problem is that I cannot back up therefore if I go ahead and clean the BB then I will lose all of my data?
    Is there any way I can transfer the data to my SIM card - it isn't a lot at all, maybe 100 contacts............
    Looking forward to a solution, have spent all day mucking around with troublesome technology - when I had so many more important things to do......
    Thanks in anticipation.

    You can use any OS...you are not limited to your carriers. If you do use an OS from other than your home carrier, then insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the above, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.

  • BB 8800 gives error "uncaught exception: java.lang.​ClassCastE​xception"

    Hi,
    after connecting the 8800 via bluetooth with the new RNS310 radio in my car the 8800 shows the error message "uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassCastException" when the RNS310 tries to access the phone book and to download it to the radio-internal phone book. The option for the bluetooth connection in the 8800 is set to
    - not "visible",
    - address book transfer "all entries",
    The event log shows the folllowing entries:

    Is there any possibility to update the 8800 software / firmware to get rid of the error? I always have to disconnect the battery and restart.

    There is a loader.exe tool located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader (or if you are using a 64 bit C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    Remove the battery from your BlackBerry and launch the Loader tool. You will see either USB PIN: Unknown or your actual device PIN.
    As the loading process starts, there will be a list of steps to be completed in the loading process. One of those steps listed will say "Wait for Device Initialization". When you see the arrow get to this steps, reinsert your battery.
    If you still get the same error, let me know and we will investigate further from there.
    Good luck!

    Hi psn93
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    If you already tried reload without success, then you may need to use some third party software like BBSAK to compltely wipe your device and then load a fresh OS pack on your device.In addition please remember after installing the OS don't restore anything from the backup files,do a selective restore i;e , restore only your Contacts and calander entries. Try this again :
    1.Locate your Carrier and Download the OS you desire from here and Install it in your PC or Laptop Carriers
    (make sure you are downloading for the same model as you have )
    2. Download and install the latest BlackBerry desktop software from here BlackBerry desktop software
        Then if it allow  perform your backup of your device.
    3.Search your C: drive for Vendor.xml and delete them, there may be one or two vendor.xml ( On your Pc change your folders option to show hidden files/folders ) Skip step- 3 if using your Carrier OS pack .
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
        C:\Users\Windows UserName\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    4. Use BBSAK from  http://bbsak.org/   and wipe the device then after you get the error 507 ( no OS ) then proceed to next step.
    5. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. (For 64-bit Vista or Windows 7, the path       will be C: > Program Files x86 > Common Files > Research In Motion > AppLoader) double click Loader.exe. 
    Update will continue just follow the onscreen instructions,when it completes see if problem resolves.

  • Uncaught exception java.lang.nullpointerexception on 9300

    Help - please can some one help. I get the above msg (uncaught exception java.lang.nullpointerexception) when I try and access my emails or txt msg. I can make & recieve calls. Have tried removing battery and resetting, also removed the email and reinstalled, but still get the same error. I havent added any new Apps or downloaded any thing on the blackberry.
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    There's pretty much no diagnosing those -- they are the equivalent of the random errors in Windows for which tracing the root cause is fruitless. Basically, these are the last out in the programming code -- some event occurred for which there is no handler in the code. The fix is a code update that handles the event...but, again, knowing what the event is is pretty much impossible. So, there are a few things to try:
    Sometimes, the code simply becomes corrupt and needs to be refreshed -- just like a reboot:
    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.
    If it won't boot up cleanly, then you may need to try Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
    There might be an updated code set from the carrier -- check them via this portal:
     http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    The toughest possible cause is a badly behaving app. To find it, there are a couple of options. One is to see if you can read the log file:
    Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type 'lglg'. (You will not see anything while you type).This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably many pages) untill you see a line that says 'uncaught execption'. Click on this line. The name of the app will be in the info. Alternative methods for bringing up the logs are in this KB:
    KB05349How to enable, access, and extract the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone
    The other method is to remove apps one at a time, waiting a while in between (I usually recommend a week), until the problem ceases...thereby discovering the offending app. Still another method is to reload the BB OS cleanly, leaving some time between adding other apps onto the BB so as to be able to determine exactly which one is the cause.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Uncaught exception: java.lang.​NoClass DefFoundEr​ror ror

    Hello I am running on the bb bold 9700. I have os 5. Ever since the latest update on the blackberry app world, it has not worked properly. First off it did not even show. I looked under the applications and I deleted it from there, then reinstalled it. Once I restarted my bb, the error came up with Uncaught exception: java.lang.NoClass DefFoundError. Then I still did not see app world again. Any ideas what there is to do?

    I have exactly the same problem in exactly the same circumstances.   Can anyone please help??
