Blackberry 8520 - Software v4 - NO SERVICE

Can anyone help me? My BB is unlocked but when I put any SIM in there it says "No Service". I have no idea how to resolve this problem. My initial thoughts are:
1) Hardware issue - antenna has come loose or something
2) Software issues - I would update but the charging port is missing and needs to be replaced
Can someone please advise me what it could be or if anyone has exprienced this also.
Many thanks all.

Can you find an authorized repair shop? Not much can be done online about those hardware issues.

Blackberry Desktop Software shuts down when running Sprint Smart View Internet Service (Air Card)

Just installed Blackberry Desktop Software and it runs ok when I am not running Sprint Smart View (This is my program for my internet service / sprint air card). As soon as I start Sprint Smart View the desktop software no longer works and just shuts itself down after a minute or two.

I'm not familiar with this particular package, but with similar packages from other carriers there's usually a setting that lets the program control your Network - it may only say Wi-Fi.
The BlackBerry drivers include a Dial-Up connection which is probably getting shut down by the software which kills Desktop Manager.
If you turn off that option, the problem should go away (reboot probably a good idea).

Nope... it's a hardware need, and it is not and won't be available on the 8520.

All BlackBerrys have the ability for BlackBerry Messenger.
You must have THE BlackBerry Data Plan on your service provicer account for it to work.
No Blackberry Data Plan = No BlackBerry Messenger.

Blackberry 8520 does not start up

HI,
I have just bought a Blackberry 8520.
It has been working fine till today suddenly a white screen came on with a small clock icon in the centre.
The phone does not switch on. I have tired taking the batter off, sim and the memory card but nothing helps.
If anyone know how to rectify this problem I would really apprecaite it.
P.S I use MAC

You'll need to get access to a PC.
If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

Problems loading applications using Blackberry Desktop software

I am using a Blackberry Bold 9000 with OS 5.0.0.681 (Bundle 1137, Platform 5.2.064) and Desktop Software 6.0.0.40 (Bundle 42) on Windows XP. I have about 20 MB of memory available for apps, but I cannot load new applications using Blackberry Desktop software. Now I can remove or unload software with no problem. However, when I attempt to load applications or software that I don't have, the following happens: I can click on the grey cross icon under "Action" to indicate I want the module and status changes to "Pending Install". The apps I want are English UK, Spanish, Supplemental SureType Wordlists for English and Spanish, Blackberry Application Centre, DOD Root Certificates, TTY Support. I then see the following on on the screen: "Update - Uploading Device software -->" "Update - Loading applications -->" "Loading device modules -->" "Loading applications from device - Searching for available device software -->" "Loading applications from device - Read device service information -->" "Loading applications from device - Searching for available device software -->" And lo and behold - the applications are not loaded; they appear as uninstalled in the application list and I can't access them on my Blackberry. During this process the phone does not reboot... previously when changes were made the phone would reboot. My question is, is there a way to force Desktop Manager to load the applications? How can I load the software I want? I have done a wipe and reinstall of apps and OS on my phone; delete and registry clean of my laptop followed by reinstallation of Desktop Software; battery pull and SIM card pull, but to no avail. This is frustrating as I have friends with whom I converse with in Spanish but it isn't my first language so the spell checker is very useful. Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem, after weeks of no problems.
Hard reboot of 8520 several times, reboot desktop, tried different USB ports.
Intellisync crashes on organizer sync and Destop Manager cannot read applications.
Is there a fix?

You have to call the carrier so they can add the blackberry data plan. Without that plan it will not work.

My blackberry 8520 device can't attach file *.doc

Dear all,, My device can't attach file *.doc when I want to send an email using attachment file My device is Blackberry 8520 Gemini Need help and suggest here Thanks

OK thanks, that clarifies many of the points. You have successfully registered HRT as well as received all new Service Books, so from that perspective, things should be good to go. A few more thoughts then.

By this, do you mean that you cannot navigate out of the picture folder it initially shows you? If you don't create a new email, can you use the on-device file manager (Homescreen > Media > > Explore) and navigate to any folder you like? If you can navigate via this, can you further select and send your .doc in this manner?
Are you a 100% personal BB or is this a corporate (BES) BB? If BES, then stop now and go see your BES admins as they have full control.
If this is a personal BB, how did you acquire it? Was it purchased directly from your carrier or was it somehow second hand? If it was second hand, you may have a latent IT policy on board from the prior owner...which would need to be removed via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/Remove-IT-Policy-from-personal-pho...
Further, you are one version behind on the OS from your carrier...the most recent they now have is 5.0.0.681. I cannot tell you if your specific issue is addressed in that update or not...but a clean reload of your OS, with this new version, might be helpful. The best instructions I know for loading (upgrade, downgrade, reload) are here:

Glitch in the BlackBerry 8520!!!

Hello all,
I have purchased a Blackberry 8520 through the Rogers Mobile Network about 3 months ago and I just started having problems with it. When someone calls the phone, there would be no ring when the phone is on Normal, Medium, or Loud profile. This affected all incoming alerts from Blackberry messenger, SMS messages and phone calls. It also stopped any music from playing and a red bar that says "Error Playing." would appear in the top right corner of the screen. Below that, a message pops up that says "An error has occurred attempting to play media "MusicDemo_Fontainebleau"." I contacted my service provider and they sent me a replacement phone as it was under warranty. Two days after I got the new phone, the same issues started happening. I new it couldn't be a physical problem with the phone so I started troubleshooting. I found that when the "Word Mole" game is running with the sound disabled for the game, and a call comes in, no ringtones or incoming alerts will work. The speaker is also hung up not allowing any music to be played. The phone can still be used to make calls or use other application. If the game is reopened and actually closed properly by clicking "Exit", all functions return. This only happens when this specific game is running. All other games are ok and there are no issues with any other programs that I tried. I have not downloaded software or music on the phone so it can't be a virus, and it is only running the basic programs that the phone comes with.
I hope this helps BlackBerry find a fix to this problem.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Here are some articles from the technical library on similar problems,
Basically we know the error occurs but we can't prove the Word Mole did it,
First always go with the hard reset (battery pull)
Try the extract procedure and lets get some documentation.
Thanks

Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead. Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread.
I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
Thanks very much

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
(Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If that's not it try the following:
Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
I would suggest logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
resolved.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,

BlackBerry Desktop Software doesn't support the BlackBerry 10 OS

a feuniquely useful and unique to BB.w years ago I upgraded to a OS 10 device and owned for less than 24 hours before paying to get my OS7 bold 9930 back. Currently debating on getting a classic, but believe that OS10 still does not support BB desktop nor the BNA website.
These were two features that I used very often and that I found unique to BB and very useful.
How is OS10 supplanting these tools and services?
Why in the world are they not retroactively supported?

Hello,
It is completely well documented what is required...here:
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/overview.html?LID=us:bb:software:desktopsoftware&LPOS=us:b...
As you can see, BBLink and BBBlend exist for BB10, while the BB Desktop Software exists for legacy devices. BB10 and legacy devices are very very different...I can completely understand why they would need a totally new set of PC software for such a new and different device. It is what it is, and Blend provides a level of functionality never even dreamed of for legacy BBOS (well, maybe dreamed...but never delivered).

Blackberry Desktop Software V6.0.2

I just recently joined the RIM Blackberry family. I've installed the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop software, but am having trouble loading the program.
I get a Windows error report...
"BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Does anyone know what issues the program could be having? I've downloaded the program multiple times, re-installed, repaired, and tried to contact Blackberry. I'm incredibly frustrated. Anyone else having this issue, and possibly knows how to fix this?

OK I FIND SOLUTION FROM FIRST TIME. I was in January already registered under nick name HONGKONG
and here is solution what work first time. But now after DMupdate again DONT WORK.
I had all the same problems as everyone else on this thread, but it was just as simple as renaming Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll.old and then back to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll it worked.
The file is located in:
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Modules\
I can only say RIM, I never buy again BB units. Bye [keep it courteous please].

Opening pdf file in Blackberry 8520 curve

I am unable to open pdf file in my blackberry 8520 curve. Can anyone help me in this regards. The mobile does't have any pdf reader pre installed. Do we need to install software, if so please send me the link to download or the software itself.
Thanks

PDF files can be easily viewed as an attachment to an email.
If you are wanting to view a PDF file downloaded to your Media Card, you will need a third party application, such as PDFtoGO, BeamReader or Repligo. Google will find any of those three for you.
Good luck.
