Help! Blackberry Curve 8530 won't go to Home screen only stays at carrier screen!

The other day I updated my Quick Pull app. I forgot to reset the times in which i wanted it to reboot. Last night I remembered and set the time. I normally set it for 3, but since it was 3 it wouldn't be able to reboot until this evening. After I was done with my phone, I rebooted it manually by going to the app and clicking reboot. My battery was also low in the red so I stuck the charger in it. When I woke up this morning my phone was dead, if had fell on the floor and the charger came out. I put the charger back in a waited a little while for it to charge. When it came on, it only went to the Cricket screen, but would not go to the home screen. I took the battery out multiple times, I waited patiently, yet my phone is still stuck on the cricket screen.. Is there anyway to reset it so that it can work again?

Please try this first:
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

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.

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."

Blackberry curve won't show any app icons in home screen

I have a curve that isn't registered because my dad gave it to me, but it was working fine until I took a picture and put it as my background. Then in the home screen no apps(even preloaded ones) will show up.

How Do I Remove the Email Address Attached to the Home Screen of my Blackberry?

Hi!
I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110 that I purchased on Craigslist and I'm having trouble removing the email address from the previous owner of the phone.
On the Home Screen there is an icon, but I can't figure out how to remove the previous owner's email address so that mine will be the only one on it.
Any further assistance anyone can provide would be appreciated. Thank you so much!
Feel free to email me at
Thanks!!!

Blackberry Torch 9860 hangs on home screen

I was using whatsapp and suddenly the phone freezed. When I re-inserted the battery, it froze again at the home screen where we have to enter the device password. It freezes in safe mode too. This is the first time I'm experiencing this problem. Earlier, it used to hang on logo screen but I got my phone replaced as it was in warranty. now it is out of warranty. Please suggest me some solution for this. I tried to wipe all the data by connecting it with my pc. But it doesn't get connected to the pc. Please help. Early response will be appriciated. Thanks on advance.

Have you tried Safe Mode? Remove the battery. While holding down the back key insert the battery. Continue to hold the back key for another 20 seconds while the device begins to boot. If that doesn't work proceed to this step:
Download JL_Cmder and see if you can wipe the device with that. You may need to remove the battery and reboot it and then plug it in right away to see if you can get connected to it. It may take a few tries at various stages of boot to get it to connect. If you can get the wipe to take and give you a 507 error you can easily reload the OS.

Blackberry bold 9900 Number of Icons row in Home Screen.

Occassionally the "All" screen starts displaying two rows of icons instead of the normal single row. Again, very random. To correct this, I open Options, Display, Home Screen Preferences, then Rest Setting and select Icon Arrangement. That fixes it immediately, but still not sure of the root cause.
I have worked this out on the bold 9900. You simply touch the screen to open up the menu. When it is opened, simply touch the menu header and drag it down to show the desired number of rows. One or two, or pull it down till they all go down to show no icons!

Thanks for your help buddy. I know now how to do it.

HELP!! App 200 error? Cannot click on/select anything on Home Screen/no buttons work.

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330 and it's worked great until last night. I kept pulling it out of my pocket and it would be off. And when i would turn it back on, i'd put it back in my pocket to wait for it to start up and when I looked at it again, it would be off again. so I finally waited to watch it and see when it was cutting off, and when the home screen came up, i scrolled over everything as normal and it appeared to be working fine, it would still say the name of the app i was hovering over.. but when i tried to click that, which has been my text message mailbox the most, it doesnt do anything. nothing happens at all. It's like it doesnt even realize I'm clicking it. And the enter button on the bottom right doesnt work either. and I try to turn it off to restart it and the end button doesnt work. No Keys or Clicking with the scroll ball works, just scrolling? I can only restart it if I take the battery out. And last night when I plugged it in and took the battery out and restarted it, it suddenly worked, but after having it off the charger for a while it stopped and started again when i plugged it back in, but the batter life is completely charged and fine. and the second time i plugged it in, something came up saying App error 200, reset. so i clicked reset and it worked fine all night and day today until tonight when it's started doing the same thing, except now nothing will make it work. Taking the battery out while it's charging, nothing at all. i've taken the battery out and restarted it atleast 20 times since I've been home. It's really frusterating. Can someone tell me why this is happening?? And maybe how to fix it?! Much appreciation.

You may have to do a reload of the OS. Some app on the phone is causing trouble intermittently I'm guessing. Here is what you can do:
1.Backup phone data: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB12487
2.Perform a clean installation of your OS: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
3.Restore the backup after you have verified it doesn't occur again

Permanent 1 unread message symbol on home screen

Hi!
I have a relatively new Blackberry Curve 8330 (I bought it about 2 months ago!) and the symbols at the top of the home screen (for missed calls, unread messages, etc.) had been working fine until a couple of weeks ago when the unread message symbol became stuck on the screen for some time now. I have gone through all my messages and even pressed "U" to find unread messages - but the following message comes up:
"No unread messages in list."
There seems to be no real reason for the symbol to stay popped up, since all of my messages have been read.
It's annoying me and I really want to get rid of the symbol, since there are no unread messages.
How should I go about this?
Thank you!

Sprint Blackberry 8330 v4.5

Hi. I just updated my Blackberry 8330 to v4.5 and I was wondering if theres that theme available that comes out on all the new phones.
I was at the Sprint store today, and I saw that they had a Blackberry Curve 8350 out on display with the theme. And when I went into Options>Themes they only had that theme as the defult one (so it wasnt downloaded).
Any idea how to do this or download the v5.0?
I checked in about and I think the version on the 8350 was 4.5 or 4.6

So I'm looking for the one that I had before all of this nonsince, also if a New OS is made does some 1 check them out becouse the 1I have has so many flaws.
If its possible that u can point me in the right direction for the OS that came with the Cell.
Hi again. Yes can point you in the right direction. Below I will post the instructions I used to cleanly install a new OS. Within the instructions is a link to download from your carrier, sorted by geographical location. Usually there are a couple of choices, the latest and the previous. Sometimes there is only the latest. If you carrier doesn't have the version you want. You will have to find a carrier that does have the nearest equivalent OS, download it to pc and then locate it using the path C: Drive > Common Files > RIM > Apploader and delete the XML file. Then you can continue with the installation. And its quite easy (even I did it!!!!).
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Home screen Browser icon

I have had my Verizon BB Curve (8330) for about 6 months - all of a sudden my home screen displayed a "Browser" tiny icon - the globe so it looks the same as my Browser icon - with a "1" by it -
Does anyone know what this is - or how to clear it? Thanks

That would be a browser message. Go into your message icon and hit the menu key. Select view folder and then select browser messages. And that should do it.

How can I show my appointments directly on my home screen without changing the layout to "today" and keeping it at "zen"?

I would really like to keep my home screen with all of my applications lined up at the bottom but I would also like my current appointments (my appointments for the day from my calendar) to shop up as well. Is there a way this can happen?
If the only option is switching themes from "zen" to "today" is there a way I can choose what is listed on the "today" one, for example instead of call log have bbm.
Ideally, I would like to keep the home screen the way it is now with the calendar addition.
Thank you,
Margot

Hi
Which model do you have?
Which OS? Go to Options > About, it looks like v5.0.0.681
Are you using the calender that came pre-loaded?
With the basic theme, you get the 6 choices only at the bottom of the screen. It sounds to me as if you you need some sort of calender them that would permit more icons. Have a look on App World

Returning to home screen from inbox and accesing diff account.

Hi,
I have set up 6 different email accounts on my iPhone. In order to access inbox 1, selected Mail -> Accounts - > Inbox from there I can directly go to home screen by pressing HOME button.
My question is next time, when I click on Mail its going to Inbox 1 where i had left earlier. Is there any way where I can go to accounts instead of going to inbox1?
Another question is instead of going to check 6 different inboxes, is there any way to get all the new emails under one place? In blackberry phones u can check all different accounts mails under one place.
Thanks
Hith
Thanks for your suggestions.

I've had the same problem and asked AT&T to assist in one of their store fronts and was told that my phone was out of warranty. BB support was of no help, stating that they had no idea what I was talking about.
