Blackberry 8330 CHIRP?!

Okay so I'd been searching all over the internet and I see that the chirp on my phone is a normal known issue. HOWEVER, I called verizon and they said they knew that it was a known issue and that the only fix was downgrading to 4.5.0.138 (I'm running .175), after I'd told him that my phone isn't recognized my Blackberry Desktop Manager. SO, they send me a replacement 8330 that is stuck in a reboot loop (I'm not even touching it and its acting as if I'm doing battery pulls back to back) and now I'm waiting for a new one to be here Tuesday. But my question is, what can I do? Does anyone else have this issue - as well as the music player skipping and notifications working when they want to? I miss the old days when my blackberry worked flawlessly! -____-

Why not try to reload the OS on the rebooting device?
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
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.

Hi Peter!
I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
* At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
* Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
* At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

10.5.4 and bluetooth with Blackberry 8330

since performing the combo upgrade to 10.5.4 most bluetooth functions are gone with my blackberry 8330. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to transfer files. Does anyone happen to know what was changed or how to fix it?

Update:
on a couple of occasions, I have been able to get file transfer functionality back for a short time by configuring my phone through the bluetooth preferences. However, this has only worked on occasion and cannot be consistently replicated.

Synchronization in Outlook on Blackberry 8330

Blackberry 8330 and Mac Ical

Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong. I cannot get Blackberry desktop manager on a mac to populate my ICAL application on my mac with the events from my blackberry calendar. It used to work fine with PocketMac, except it often doubled up all of the events.
I select the calendar I would like to be synced, It says it is done, no errors. but my ICAL never gets any of the dates. I am debating going back to pocketmac, even though it often doubles up all my contacts often.
IS this just an issue b/c I have an 8330, and its an older model BB? I love my BB but I am in real estate and need my contacts and calendar to be synced throughout all my devices
If you can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Josh

My client is having precisely the same problem with the Blackberry 8330. She can't get calendar events that have been created or added on the Blackberry device to sync to iCal. It seems that calendar events created in iCal on her computer to sync to her Blackberry device properly.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Blackberry 8330 - Deleteing email off both Blackberry & Home Computer

I currently have a Blackberry 8330, v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59).
I used to be prompted to delete emails off both my blackberry and my home computer's Windows Mail. I think after updating the Blackberry, this option was no longer available, which requires me to read emails on my Blackberry and then to have to delete them off my home computer.
Does anyone know of a way that I can restore this function to my Blackberry?
Thanks in advance.

Go to Solution.

When you say "updating the BlackBerry" do you mean you updated the software or you upgraded the device from an older device?
When you open an email, scroll up into the headers. Next to "Received Using" does it list the email address or does it say unknown?
If it says "unknown" you may just need to resend your service books.
Go to the icon on your device that says Email Setup (Manage Internet Email on some devices) and go into the setup for your email. There is an option to "resend service books."
If it shows your email address then it doesn't hurt to go ahead and resend the service books anyway but then you'll need to:
Go into Messages >Options >Email Reconciliation.
Choose the Message Service in question (there may be multiple ones if you have more than one email address set up on the device.
Then change "Delete On" to "Prompt."

Using BlackBerry 8330 keypad to access Company Directory

Hey all,
When I call into my company phone # from my business BlackBerry 8330, one of my options is to press the # sign to access the company directory.
But...my keypad doesn't see to work that way. It picks up the first letter I hit that corresponds to a number I think. The only phone I can find in the office that works is a Razr, which of course mimics an actual telephone keypad with the 3 letters/key.
I'm hoping there is an easy solution to this.
Thanks

Press the # key when it says to press the # key.
To spell out a name, say "SMITH", press and hold the ALT key (lower left) while typing the letters you need.

Is there no upgrade for Blackberry 8330 Curve to be able to use WiFi?

Unfortunately no, the 8330 does not have a wi-fi adapter built into the device. The 8320 does have it however.

Blackberry 8330 -- Question

I currently have the Blackberry Curve 8330. I broke the charging port on the phone, and do not have full insurance on the phone, so it will cost me to both repair the phone and buy a new phone. I am a teenager and do not have the money at the time for either a repair or a new phone. My mom had an old phone that she is letting me borrow until I have the money to repair my phone. I was wondering if it will cost for me to degrade from my blackberry to a motorola razor. I have a family member who told me it would, I don't understand how that is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi,
If all that is wrong with your Blackberry 8330 is the charging port is broken, you can purchase a charging dock, sometimes called a charging pod, for less than 20 bucks, even less on Amazon.com. Then you can set your device in the charging dock to recharge it. Just a thought.

BLACKBERRY 8330 PROBLEM

Hello Group,
my name is peter stewart. i have a blackberry 8330. the problem that i am having is that when i go to profiles to try to change my ringtone setting, for some reason the voice activated dialing initiates when i did not even command it to. the two questions that i have are the following; 1. is there a way to fix this without taking it in for repair? 2. is it possible to remove the voice activated dialling feature without damaging or crashing the blackberry? if so how?
thank you,
Peter Stewart

Hiya!
Voicedial is not removable from the device or the DM. It is actually incorporated into the application (that is why it doesnt appear in the applications list, but has its own menu item under options)
" Blackberry x.x.x Core Applications"
there is an app that can remove core applications, give me a moment and I will try and find it.

Blackberry 8330 Freezing Issues ( Need Assistance )

I have a brand new Blackberry 8330. I got it about a month ago. Its has a One ( 1 ) GB memory card and I've downloaded about a dozen apps to the phone, using the device memory. The phone displays an hour glass icon and freeze. I usually have to take the battery out ot get the phone working again, but to be honest, its a little annoying. I was wondering how I could upgrade my Blackberry 8330's device memory or if I could fix the problem by getting a bigger memory card? I tried to go thru my carrier's support system but, to be honest, it sucks. Any help you could provide me would be appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
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
The ONLY memory space you can increase is the Media Card -- all others are fixed at the factory. But, increasing Media Card Memory does nothing to help with your situation.
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.
Best!
Good luck!
