Blackberry 8520 with no internet!!

ive go a curve 8520 and since reseting my phone due to wanting to sell the internet will not work. the message i get is "this is a wifi service please ensure your device has an active wifi connection and try again". ive never used the wifi on it before, just the internet my network provides. im stuck and dont no how to sort it .

Hello !
Firstly, check with your service provider that do you still have an activated BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) Plan on your device?
You yourself can also check by seeing "EDGE" symbol on your homescreen.
If you have BIS plan, then follow the step mentioned below.
Try the following:
Go to Options> Advanced Options> Browser> Select "Internet Browser" (drop down menu) in Deafult browser configuration & Default MDS browser configuration.
Hope this resolves your Problem!
If your problem has been resolved then would request you to Click on "Like" and accept as "Solution" so that other Advisors doesnt invest their time on this Message anymore.

Application error with blackberry 8520 curve

hello,
i own a blackberry 8520 curve and i keep having the same problem with logging in into yahoo messenger.
while i can log in from a PC or another phone, logging in from this phone seems impossible, regardless the account i try logging in with. after it displays the ''connecting to" message it pops this: "'internal error. please try again''.
i tried reintroducing the internet connection settings; i reinstalled the application, i've put another SIM card into this phone and i've removed all the entries from my yahoo account's apps and website connections list - and it keeps popping the error message
i hope receiving an answer, 'cause it's been 4 days without getting to use the app.

Hiya!
Personally, I havent seen this so it may be isolated to your device.
Your best bet for warranty is to call your carrier.
It very well could be classified as physical damage and void your warranty. Or they may classify it as "manufacturer defect" and replace it.
Its hard to say as carrier's policys are different

Blackberry 8520 curve hangs, suddenly white screen comes and the only solution is to re-insert battery with power source on?

My Blackberry 8520 curve suddenly hangs giving a white screen and when i restart it - the screen remains white. After i put it into charge - then only a successful start is done. So the only solution as of now i have - is whenever my blackberry hangs - i need to remove the battery - insert it again - and immediately put it into charging via USB/Electric-Power. Even if i re-insert the battery - the white screen comes - unless and until i put it into charging Earlier i was guessing - my battery was weak - but no such problem. pls advise.

Using Blackberry Messenger with 2 Sims

A friend has a Blackberry 8520 Curve on 02 Pay Monthly and is able to use Blackberry Messenger fine, they wanted to use an Orange Pay As You Go Sim and loaded this with credit and purchased the Blackberry Data Bundle on Orange for £5.
The internet now works fine with the Orange Sim, but Blackberry Messenger doesn't appear to work with the Orange Sim. Any idea's why??

what do you mean by "doesn't appear to work"?

BlackBerry 8520 won't support BBM and AppWorld

Hello all,
First, I would like to apologize for my English, I'm French ^^
Here's my problem.
I bought a BlackBerry 8520, second hand for my daughter
Since that day, I can't have BBM, Email and Appworld on the phone.
I check with my provider, I have all the BlackBerry's options.
The OS is V5.
I've sign in to the BlackBerry ID Services.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Thanks for yours answers.
Miharu

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull 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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! Otherwise, your next step is formal support, which is available from your mobile service provider.
Good luck!

Help! Blackberry 8520 browser white!

Hi! I have a Blackberry 8520, and every time I go and use the internet browser, it takes like 10 hours to load, and once it has loaded, the page is still blank! It's not a case of internet connection, because my apps work. So I don't know what to do, I've tried resetting, and it sometimes does the trick, but after a little it starts to not work anymore.
Any helpful advice??
Thanks!

Sounds like you may have an issue with the service book database. Try clearing your Service Book database then resend Service Books and test again.

Using my Blackberry 8520 on Virgin Mobile

I have had my phone for one month (curve 8520) with Virgin Mobile and managed to run up a bill of over £500. I put this on here to warn other Virgin customers to be very careful how they use their phone. There is a 25mb daily allowance for blackberry usage and a 1Gb monthly allowance for internet usage. I cannot understand what the difference is. When I contact Virgin I can check the balance of my internet usage - this never changes. Unbeknown to me I was using blackberry usage which I could not check with my provider. I had the facebook application and the ubertwitter application on the phone. These are now removed. As I understand from Virgin using any applications on my phone will mean using the blackberry usage which will not be enough and therefore I will get charged. Blackberry is marketing these phones to my age group - early 20's and Virgin are advertising it with application use.
Has anyone else had this problem? I cannot understand what I can do with my phone or how to use it. Thank you for any advise you can give me.

Hi hunnybee - don't panic. This seems to be a problem that Virgin are having with some Blackberry phones and not others. At the minute they cannot separate blackerry usage (emails) with normal internet usage. When you ring for a balance it says you are still OK. Your best bet is to check online just to make sure you are not incurring any unexpected charges on your account. They are hoping to get some sort of patch out in the next couple of months to sort it out.
On another post here Bifocals has given me some great links how to get used to your new blackberry. The best thing is to take it slow and post questions here if you need help. I learnt so much which was very helpful. I'll copy some of Bifocals post for you.

Synchronising blackberry calendar with online work diary?

I am told that it is possible to synchronise my blackberry calendar with my online work diary, so that my blackberry calendar always remains up to date (when entries are made online). I am trying to achieve this but do not know how. Can anyone help?
I have a blackberry curve 8520.

Hey saifonline,
Sorry, but there is no supported way to sync this type of calendar with the BlackBerry.

Activation Issue - Blackberry Connect with e61i on...

Hi,
I have been using the Blackberry Internet Service on my e61i with Vodafone UK for the past 9 months.
Today I upgraded the e61i firmware to version 2.0633.65.01, and the Blackberry Connect 4.0 7.45.0, but I am unable to re-activate the Blackberry service with my operator, Vodafone UK.
I also tried the BB Connect 4.0 version that is recommended on the Nokia site to work with Vodafone UK, but no luck either - possibly as the new e61i firmware is not backwards compatible with the older BB Connect 4.0 7.17.2 release.
My guess is that Nokia have not validated the latest BB Connect 4.0 7.45.0 version to work with the e61i on Vodafone UK's Blackberry Internet service, but I am stuck?
I thought of re-installing the older e61i firmware that did work, but I cannot seem to find a link to download versions other than the latest release (via the Nokia software updater) from the Nokia site?

I have posted already a couple of messages - no reply so far. I have done the same upgrade like Patrick- with German's T-Mobile. So, it does not seem to be the provider whi i sleeping here. I asked already in 4 Club Nokia Service Points and two already commented that Nokia is releasing theor firmware at times too quickly and before having validated the most important applications on compatibility.
I really, really hope that Nokia realises that all those potential eg. E61i fans are up against the Blackberry fraction and if they cannot maintain their BBConnect SW up-to-date they will loose a bunch of "business users" to their competitors which are hooked to a BB enterprise server with no choice of another corporate mail handheld system.
Just wanted to share this with you so that you don`t waste your time finding what YOU did wrong in your upgrade. Been there done that.
Pleeeaaasse submit if anybody has an idea.

i believe this link might solve the problem, i did the same thing but this version of the bbc software solves the problem, at least it works on vodafone uk :-)
