Hello jaydencanada,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums
The only supported method of installing Chinese Language and input support through your wireless provider's latest software package.
Please keep in mind that the language packages included in each version are determined by the wireless provider.
You may want to download Bell's latest software and see if this language package is available:

Traditional Chinese Input

I know that it is possible because once upon a time, I had installed it somehow on my blackberry... but for the life of me I can't remember how. How does one get the Traditional Chinese Input capability on the BB 8310?

You need upgrade the software to multilingual that includes Chinese Input.
Check with your carrier to know the BlackBerry device OS release or click on this link. Look for the multilingual OS version. Download and install using desktop manager.
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

8830 Chinese Software

Just got a 8830 from Sprinit. But I have many emails in Chinese charaters. Anybody knows how to read or type Chinese in 8830 World Edition?
Thanks

Sprint desktop doesn't have CJK support, only EFS (eng, french, spanish). Can you find out where I can download 8830 OS with CJK?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
This is all I found on the Blackberry website through Sprint's website

Bluetooth Keyboard and Blackberry 8830 - Can they pair?

I have a co-worker with a Blackberry 8830 and he is looking for information regarding pairing that with an Apple BT keyboard. In fact, he already purchased one and has asked me to try and make it work. I have had NO luck, obviously.
I believe at least one of the problems to be the fact that the BT keyboard uses an 8-digit rotating key for the pairing. Is there a "backdoor" key that will always work on these keyboards? I'm mentally answering this question even as I type it...probably not.
Anyway, if anyone has worked on this and wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction, I'd certainly appreciate it. My Google skills are turning up nothing. Thanks!

Eureka!
I got the two devices talking by:
-On my MacBook, I started to pair the BT keyboard
-On the Blackberry, I initiated a search for devices
-Both systems found the keyboard
-Started up the pairing sequence on the MacBook and got the key BUT DID NOT ENTER IT
-I let the pairing sequence time out on the MacBook
-By this time, the Blackberry had also timed out and was asking for a retry
-Selected "Try Again" and entered the key displayed on the MacBook screen
-Also entered the key on the BT keyboard and pressed "Enter"
-BOOM - paired....
Now the bad news...even though the devices are paired, I cannot use the keyboard for input. Back to the drawing board!

Error when running the application in BlackBerry 8830 Sprint Simulator

Hi,
I have created a web dynpro java application and when I tried to run in the BlackBerry 8830 Sprint Simulator, I am getting the following error
I am trying to take data from the R/3 Server through RFC Model,
Error:
HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
An unexpected condition was encountered which prevented your request from being fulfilled. This could be caused by a problem with the gateway, a problem with the destination server or a problem with the page itself. Please try loading a different page. Contact your service Provider if this problem persist.
Regards, Mathan MP

Hi Mathan,
You can configure the proxy server by following these steps
Make sure that MDS is stopped.
1. Go to installation folder of your MDS. Like for example in my case
    "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.0.2\MDS\config"
2. Open the file rimpublic.property with a notepad/textpad.
3. Under section "# [HTTP HANDLER]", Change the following 3 properties
    a. "application.handler.http.proxyEnabled = true" from false
    b. "application.handler.http.proxyHost= proxyname"
    c. "application.handler.http.proxyPort=portnumber"
After this you can restart the MDS and try to access any web link. Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Siva.

Now on iOS 5.1.1 - Chinese Input STILL not working 3+ years later

I have just updated to iOS 5.1.1 and after ONE day I already have to restore my iPad. This is, of course, after reinstalling all kinds of apps and getting data back into my programs.
I added several languages to the keyboard options but everytime I tried to change from English (the default) to another one (almost always Chinese Pinyin) it would crash.
So I thought I had too many languages installed. So I uninstalled every single one except English and Chinese Pinyin.
The Chinese Pinyin would STILL crash. So stupidly (I say this because Apple doesn't think to add "safety nets" to their bugs) I removed English and left ONLY Chinese Pinyin.
Now when I go into ANY program and "click" on a text box, the app will crash. Every single app (except Spotlight, strangely enough.)
The worst part is, when I open Settings and go to Keyboard, the Settings app immediately crashes, so there is literally NOTHING I can do at this point.
Here we are on iOS 5 and the problems with Chinese Input (and many other foreign languages) are NOT fixed. Actually this seems to have gotten worse because now my iPad won't even function without a restore.
This is disgusting. I have read MANY complaints about this in ENGLISH forums. Imagine the 10's of millions of Chinese people that have purchased iOS devices and are facing these problems. I guess Apple is forcing them to type in English? I guess Apple doesn't understand that just as many people type in Chinese as English?
When is this going to be fixed?
Does anyone have a quick solution to access the Keyboard section of my Settings to "fix" the problem (remove Chinese Pinyin and live without it again)?
I use my iPad for 2 things: to read my school textbooks (mostly pdf format, using GoodReader which is an excellent program) and for studying Chinese. Well guess I can't study Chinese. Thanks for not fixing a problem that has been going on for 3+ years, Apple! Glad I'm using an Android phone that doesn't have these kind of problems. After the iPad dies, I will definitely switch to an Android tablet. What a joke.

I was having the same problem few minutes ago. Here's the solution I found. You have to do these settings in all your apple devices (ie: iPhone, iPad, etc). In your iPad: first got to Settings, then to messages (make sure iMessage slider button is ON), the go to Receive at, then in the apple ID you have to sign in with your full email address (not your short apple ID) the same one you use in iCloud, iTunes, etc, then after you put your password your are sign in with your iMessage account.
After that go to You can be reached for messages at, and then enter you full email address and since you are already signed in your email address will be verified in your device. In you iPhone use your cell number instead an email address since most of your contacts know your phone number, but you have a choice to use your email address instead with your phone. So it's up to you what you wanna use.
Rememeber you also have to do this same procedure with Facetime to work with all you devices. To test Facetime i called my iPhone with my new iPad and voila...it worked. Good luck trying these settings.

Bug in Chinese input (Pinyin Simplified)

Hello, I think I've found a bug in the OS' language input for Chinese input. It just doesn't seem to like writing the combination of letters 'zhe'. This is really annoying, as these letters spell the Mandarin for 'This', amongst other things, so I want to use it quite a lot. Every time I try to write 'zhe' using 'Pinyin- Simplified' it works fine for the first two letters, then when I type 'e' it beachballs and then just writes the English letter 'e' instead of giving me a choice of characters spelt 'zhe'. The 'zh' just disappears. Any more writing is just rendered in the English alphabet, despite the symbol for Pinyin- Simplified being displayed on the menu bar, unless I switch out and in of input languages. Resetting in this way doesn't cure the problem. This only seems to happen for 'zhe' as far as I can discover - 'zhou', 'zhi' 'zhang' etc. render in Chinese just fine.
Perhaps someone could test this on their machine, and let me know whether it's a problem with my computer or the OS, and give me suggestions on how to fix it, if possible? I'd be grateful for any help.

I can't duplicate your problem with 这 or 你。But I am only on 10.6.3.

Chinese input in Gnome via scim

I really love this distrobution. Its fast lean and mean. However, I am having trouble with Chinese fonts and especially Chinese input via scim. I have installed the required packages, but it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have clear, step-by-step instructions to install and configure scim with both Traditional and Simplified characters? I believe that any clear instructions for setting up Chinese input via scim would also benefit other non-native English speakers, as, scim provides an input system for a variety of languages including Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc... Just an idea for the Arch maintainers... Relatively hassle-free internationalization IS a good idea.

Can not sync my Blackberry 8830 with MacBook using Pocket Mac for BlackBerryto Entourage 2008

I recently purchased a Verizon plan with my new BlackBerry 8830 Curve. I also downloaded pocketmac for blackberry with the Verizon technical support person. He spent almost 2 hours with me yesterday. We still can not sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar events to my mackbook on Entourage 2008.
This is the message I get:
[02:20:57.110] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
[02:21:01.076] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
PS, they even typed in locate incorrectly.
Can some help? I am stressed out that I only have one location where my contacts are located- the BB
Thanks
Henry

Guess what ? Pocketmac for Blackberry just released a new version this afternoon. 4.125.
I downloaded the new version and it now has a sync for Entourage 2008 and it works BB to Entourage 2008 and Entourage 2008 to BB.
Thanks to them for finally fixing this major flaw

Firmware Update for my blackberry 8830 world edition with Bell Canada

Hi does anyone know if there is firmware update for the Blackberry 8830 world edition with the carrier being Bell Canada? I am running version 4.2 and I know there is 4.5 but I am not sure if this applies the my phone with Bell Canada. When I boot up my desktop manager and checks for updates and says that there is no update. I don't want to update if it is not necessary and not be able to run my blackberry. If I am able to update where would I go to get the 4.5 update?

You have to repair Desk Manager or unintall and reintall DM, but this time uncheck "Auto update" and anything that refer to "update" the reason why I mention that is because everythime you run DM, it goes online and check for newer version and put this file "vendor.xml" in the Blackberry Common Folder, and with that file in place, it will block the program from installing the newer version from a difference cell company..
From what I see 4.2 is the only version that is up to date for a 8830...but if you have a 8820, you can update to 4.5.

Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message:
"a problem occurred when trying to render page"
Can anyone help?

If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

Rime Chinese Input Set Keyboard Layout

Hello,
I am trying to install rime chinese input. Unfortunately I have a keyboard with a QWERTZ-Layout, which I am very accustomed to. I am using rime in Gnome Shell. Is there any way to keep the German keyboard layout whilst switching to rime? My chinese is not very good, so I hope this forum appropriate for this question.
Any help is welcome.
Edit:
I solved it for the while by tweaking the rime.xml in /usr/share/ibus/component/
This is my customized file:

Edit2: Unfortunately rime only gets started with the original layout somehow. Thus I reverted to simply tweak the <layout> option in the default engine in the rime.xml file.

i use fcitx-rime, you can change the layout for rime in the input method configuration panel while not change you system layout.

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario
