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!

IMac Freezing Issue -Need Confirmation...

Hey all,
I need confirmation on whether or not zapping the PRAM seems to stop the iMac freezing issue. I have had 3 freezes within 10 minutes. I restarted after my last preparation to installing Leopard and the screen saver kicked in, which is the 'Cosmos' slide show and the graphics froze up. Screen went black and I left it for a couple of minutes. I came back to it, and had an image on the screen, but it was still locked up. So I restarted it. After boot up, I opened Activity monitor, and locked up again.
So I zapped the PRAM on this 3rd restart and have not locked up since. I'd bet 100 to 1 that if I were to restart, without the PRAM reset, I would crash within 5 minutes of the start up.
I really believe without a doubt these iMac reboot issues are related to specific EFI versions failing to initialize graphics correctly.
Can anyone confirm this? If your iMac crashes, does Zapping the PRAM fix it?
I'll be calling Executive relations contact and telling her the bad news.
Okay, so first off, this isn't a solution to this iMac plague, but it should prevent the freezing and NO, it does not have to do with removing the ATI drivers.
I was asked to install Leopard by Executive relations at Apple and told her that, as soon as I do, my iMac will freeze. So, I have been preparing the Leopard install and have crashed 3 times, in a row... at that point I said, Leopard is going to be a no go but I needed to use my iMac without it crashing. So, zapped the PRAM like I did before and immediately the graphic freezes went away.
So

Here is my experience, iMac 24:
I bought in JR NY 2 weeks ago. I had to use it without internet connection (so no updates) and no freezes.
Then I connected to internet and installed the available updates and start to get the freezes, even trying the PRAM reset.
I tried to remove the extra memory, change memory slot but no lucky, video artifacts (like pixels not refreshing) when moving the mouse over the dock icons then freeze.
I had no other softwares installed at all, only the OS applications.
I formatted the HD and reinstalled the Tiger and didn't accepted any update, so I could use the imac for 2 days without a single freeze, but some black screens when screen saver starts.
Since no freezes, I decided to update the OS again and after the first boot the freezes came back very fast, I could start a freeze in about 10 seconds.
I tried the PRAM reset without sucess and my machine was ready to go to a tech person.
Yesterday I updated the OS to 10.4.11 and did a PRAM reset after the update and tested the machine for 2 hours without a freeze or video artifacts, looks very stable, but I have to test it more.
You guys tried the Tiger last update ?

Blackberry 8330 Syncing issues

I have been trying to sync my phone for the past week and each and every time I attempt it I get an error message saying that Yahoo is inaccesible at this time and try back in a few minutes. I talked to Tech Support and they referred me to Blackberry and still have yet to reach anyone at Blackberry without having to pay. I REFUSE TO PAY for this. I have never had an issue syncing my phone. I even updated my Desktop Manager Software and still no luck. So I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it thinking that it would help, but still no luck. I just want my phone to sync so that all of my contacts are up to date. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I have listed an article and steps below that will help in syncing your Yahoo contacts with your Blackberry device.
***Before following the steps below I would recommend a soft reset of your device. A soft reset is where you would remove the battery for a few moments, and place the battery back in the device. The device will power up automatically.
***I would also recommend resetting your current Synchronization settings (on the Blackberry Desktop Manager) to ensure the proper steps are taken. To do this, follow the steps below:
-Connect the device to the computer using the USB cable / cradle.
-Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
-Click on Synchronize
-Click on Synchronization on the left hand side
-Click the “Reset configuration” button.
The article below is the step by step set up for your synchronization with Yahoo. The article will show Calendar on step 6 and Outlook on step 7. Change this to Contacts on step 6 and Yahoo on step 7.Replace Outlook with Yahoo following the remaining steps.

I have also listed the advance settings below for your convenience.

ThinkPad T400 - small issues, need assist

hello ... i am not at all familiar with this laptop (i have a different brand) ... my friend owns the Lenovo T400 ThinkPad ... i tried to download (from a flash drive) two Windows Movie Maker Slide-Movies i made for her sister; but was unable to *open a new folder* so that i could then give her a desktop shortcut; nor could i 'drag' them to an existing file, it gave me the *circle with the slash* symbol [why, i do not know] ... also, her Desktop Icons are the size of a *pea* and i could not locate the Instruction to "Increase their size" ... i realize these two issues are very basic, and i'm almost embarrassed to ask because i thought all computers had pretty much the same instructions on how to do stuff and it would be fairly simple to locate, however, i need some step-by-step instructions that I can relay to her ... we do not live close by ... thanks for any help you can provide, patidee

(my computer has been in the shop for 2days ... just got it back) >>> thank you JDay for replying ... i thought i did right-click the desktop, but perhaps i didn't ... that's how it works on my PC, but, whatever, i will tell her to do that. okay, so i inserted the Flash Drive into her ThinkPad and we *watched the 3 movies* ... what i wanted to do was FILE them on her ThinkPad so that she did not always have to view the movies via the Flash Drive, however, i did not see anywhere where i could OPEN a *new folder* ... on my PC when i go into my files, there is a kinda tool bar and one of the options is NEW FOLDER, so all i need to do is click on those words, or click on the word "pictures' and a window w/open and to add a New Folder is one of the options; but when i went into her files, i did NOT see those options, i clicked on a few things, but i couldNOT locate that option ... my intention was to open a folder and file copies of the 3 movies in it, and then do the *ShortCut* .. i even attempted to drag one of the movies to an existing folder and that's when i got the symbol which prevented me ... so, anyway, then i sent a Shortcut to the Desktop, thinking that all she would have to do was to Click on that shortcut Icon, however, [later] when she did, it would not open because it was a Shortcut from NOwhere ... her son got her the ThinkPad, she really does not know much about it's operation, and apparently she does not see him that often either ... so you see, we are like the blind leading the blind ... so any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated - pati

Multiple ipods syncing issue - need assistance

Have a Windows XP computer and while on user B's profile, plugged in ipod A to recharge battery. When I plug in the other ipod B within the owner's (User B) profile, a window pulls up stating that ipod A is tied to another library and if I want to erase this ipod B and sync it to this library. I can see the library in iTunes and its the correct library for ipod B/user B, but do not want to lose the songs. Right now, no songs appear on ipod B, but they are all in itunes at this time. So, if it ok to erase and sync so that when I plug in ipod B into this windows profile itunes, it syncs back to the existing library?

Additional detail to the issue above: iTunes is not identifying the device correctly. It states its one ipod when the other is plugged in. And the existing library is for the other ipod, not the one with the device label.

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

Suggestions needed for blackberry 8330 curve

Hi
I have a Blackberry 8330 Curve and am on Verizon. Saturday night my messaging system decided on it's own to separate all my messages. Some of the saved ones I have are now dated 12/5 (were from august!). On top of that when my email is downloaded into my Outlook account the emails are no longer taken off the phone. It is very very hard to open up any of my messages-usually takes 2 or 3 clicks to get them open. Am able to send emails and messages.
Another problem is that I can not update information or comment on people's status on Facebook. This isn't a big problem but is frustrating to me.
I have occasionally been getting this error message: uncaught exception:Java.lang.ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException
I
have rebooted multiple times went to Verizon & this very unhelpful man said all he could do is wipe my phone since there was not a technician there that was proficient on Blackberry.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks
Kitty

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

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.

Solved!
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."

Forms10g freezes frequently-need help urgently

Hello,
we have just migrated all our forms6i to 10g environment,
our OAS is running on the Red hat Linux 4.5 and the DB is 10.1.0.3
the problem we have is once the form is loaded on the web browser, the forms is getting freezed very often , so our users are very frustrating, especially whenever we exit from a called form it is freezing. then we need to kill the IE seesion and re login.
we tried everyhitng from our knowedge but it is still doing the same thing, I am not sure if the problem is at the OAS side configuration or PC level issue. currenlty our application is very unsable on the web. we need to relase the new version to our 23 clients but i am so worried becuase of the freezing issue.
did anybody experience the same problem? any solution to fix the problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edited by: Josh Samuel on Jan 10, 2009 12:43 PM

"if not, the forms application should run fine in any supported browser with the same 'baseHTMLJinitiator' value."
Assuming, that the right Java Version(s) /Jinitiator Version(s) are already installed - yes.
But guess following scenario: One user has JInitiator already installed by his Admin, and now he starts the JRE config by accident. Sun JRE Version whatever is not installed. Additionally he has not the privilage to install software on his PC (or maybe he is using a Terminal Server). Well, if you write
baseHTMLJinitiator=basejpi.htmin your formsweb.cfg there's a Java Runtime required which is not installed. You can configure the formsweb.cfg so that not only JInitiator get's downloaded and installed; this is also possible with JRE (I can't memorize but I can look it up if you want). A try of the install fails (no privilages), so "the damn application doesn't work" ;-). I don't believe the browser will take JInit if it doesn't find a Java Runtime.
Internet Explorer simply takes the highest JRE version nevertheless what you specify in your formsweb.cfg (except you set a registry key at the client) until the specified version is > as all of the actual installed JREs. But it doesn't switch to JInit if JRE isn't installed (If you got this working I'm really interested in this). If the specified version is higher, IE also won't start the forms app until you install the proper JRE (or one which is higher).
Firefox is somewhat tougher regarding JRE versions; he insinsts on the exact java version(not higher, not lower). Except you remove the version from your "jpi_mimetype" value in the formsweb.cfg, then Firefox chooses "his" java version...

Nokia E7 freezing and needing to be re-booted dail...

Hi.My E7 keeps freezing and needs re booting.It's been re flashed at the Nokia Care Point and has been back to Nokia themselves.I have installed every update available including Anna.Still the problem persists.
The problem occurs mostly after the phone has been on standby overnight.Upon waking the screen and performing a few tasks it freezes.Also when trying to open the camera function it often jams.Furthermore it seems to be at it's worst when slightly cooler than normal (perhaps why it's worst on a morning,having been left out of my pocket overnight.
Anybody got any ideas? It's all very well saying 'return it to the N.C.P' but how many times do i need to go? I have been twice already and it's an 80 mile round trip!!!

I agree that you should push the point if the visits to Nokia care haven't resoved your issues. But , even though it shouldn't be necessary after a re-flash, it may be worth doing a reset before you try anything else, it could resolve the issues, and if not , you've lost nothing, If it doesn't work, you need to approach Nokia for a replacement ?
If you try the reset, backup calendar, contacts and notes ONLY, as a full backup and restore would restore anything causing your issue ! Dial *#7370# followed by 12345 if required, and then set up the phone manually. May also be worth re-installing Anna ?
Good Luck
