Blackberry 8900 wont Upgrade

Hi all,
My blackberry 8900 wont upgrade from the desktop manager.
I downloaded the Latest Desktop Manager 4.7.
When i go to Options\About on my handheld, its says, v4.6.1.101 (Platform 4.2.0.72).
Is this the latest? Dont think so.
I read a bit of upgrading your OS and just wondered if i can do it on my handheld, but i cant.
Please Help.
Thank you
Human

Here is a link to the most recent OS for the 8900.

Help Blackberry 8900 issues

Hi i have a Blackberry 8900 from Orange in the UK.
The device is running version 5 software. The phone is constantly crashing blank white screen when i am browsing the net or even sometimes when i try to make a call. Other times it just crashes for no reason and i have to pull the battery to restart it. Sometimes on restart the blank white screen is still there and have to reset phone again by pulling the battery. I have been onto Orange for the past 2 weeks now and they have sent me 4 different phones, yes 4 different phones and also a new sim card the other day but every phone i have recived is doing the exact same thing. I am also having problems making phone calls from device. When the handsets do let me make a call i get lots of crackling and intereference. Orange cannot send me a different model of phone as it is a business phone paid for by my work.
I also tried reloading the software on 1 device they sent but i had no luck doing it and kept getting JVM error as i was reloading the software.
I am at my witts end now can anyone help??

Ok.
I'll post something you might try for the Media Card below.
Meanwhile, you should consider upgrading the OS on the device to latest official release of the operating system for the 8900.... 5.0.0.822
Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=06997F04A7DB92466A2BAA6EBC8B872D
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
Read this on how fix the Media Card (courtesy of John Clark, another expert here in the Forum):
1. Removed the Media Card from the device and put in a card reader. This makes the rest of the process much quicker. However, you can do it with the card in the device.
2. Copy the entire contents of the card to your PC.
3. Put the card back in the device and go to Options >Media Card >Menu key >Format Card. This will wipe the card and reformat it. (if using a card reader remove the card and put it back in the reader.)
4. Now copy back JUST the media to the device. Do NOT copy back any "BBthumbs.dat" files or any system files. I went through the entire folder and deleted every .dat file before copying the contents of the music folder and pictures folders back to the device. The device will recreate these files. Also, I didn't copy the actual "music" folder but rather just copied the contents and pasted in the card's \Blackberry\music folder. Do this for each folder.
5. When finished put the card back in the device and try the Media App again. It should scan for music. If you have lots of music it can take 5-10 minutes. During scanning you can open the Music app and you should be able to see the songs moving around in the list as the device scans
If after transferring all your files back you still get a stuck scanning bar or device reboots then you have a conflicting file on the card. I've seen video files do this but it could be a music file too or (less likely) a picture file. Remove all the files you transferred and see if the reboots stop. Then add back each folder one at a time to see if you can narrow down to the folder that's causing it. Once you find the folder then you can narrow down to a particular file.

Transfer contact between blackberry 8900 and visor mount speakerphone vm-605

I am using visor mount paired with my curve 8900 and it is working well
the only thing I am not able to get, is to transfer contact from my smartphone to the visor mount, so when I get a phone cal it is never recognized, and the voice tells me only the phone number
blackberry 8900 v4.6.1.250 (platform 4.2.0.113)
any suggestions?

you need OS 5 on your phone for that feature to work.
Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
Enjoy the new OS.

Problem opening email attachment Blackberry 8900

Hi I am a recent user of Blackberry 8900 on Airtel in India, I have 2 email accounts Gmail and another work account on Rediffmailpro with pop3 access, I can open word, xls & pdf attachments in Gmail but not on my Rediffmail Pro account.
I was earlier using Blackberry connect on Nokia E61 and everything worked fine.
Also when I open Blackberry Maps the screen just becomes blank, I can use Google maps. Does the Blackberry maps require a separate service from my Cellphone provider. I already have GPRS active on my phone
Can some one help
Best regards
Uday

Hi please help me for my blackberry 8900

Hi bheth_16,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
If the Desktop Software is unable to connect to your BlackBerry, try the following:
1. Verify that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and BlackBerry Device Software are installed on the computer.
2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert.
3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer.
4. On the BlackBerry Desktop Manager main screen, click Application Loader.
5. Click Start.
6. Click Options to add or remove applications.
7. Click Next.
8. Click Next.
9. Click Finish.
10. When the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
This will remove all personal data from your BlackBerry. To restore your data you will need a previously taken backup file.

Updating T-Mobile Blackberry 8900 to local iWirless Carrier

I'm working with a blackberry 8900 and the GPS does not work. I was told to update my operating software. I purchased this phone from a costumer of T-Mobile as an unlocked 8900 to work on all carriers. My network provider is iWireless (a relatively local network) when I called them to ask if I should use their 8900 OS update that looks like it is for the iWireless phone or if I should use T-Mobile update they said I should contact the manufacture.
So my question is can I use the OS update package from iWireless without locking or messing up my phone? Or do I need to find a T-Mobile update?
Also when I perform the update will this lock the phone back with a T-Mobile sim card, or will the phone remain unlocked for all carriers?
Thank you for your help,
Ben Roti
(Sorry the previous link I posted was broken)
The Website link for the iwireless download is: iWireless Update:https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=174F8F613332B27E9E8A5138ADB7E920
Select the 8900 From the list.

I would look to T-Mobile as the delivery of the SMS is likely to rest with them.
As far as the Blackberry is concerned it will be just another SMS

Hi Livvy00,
Welcome to the BB Community...
Since ur having a BB 9300(as mentioned in ur profile), its a trackpad, not a scroller...
The things that u have already tried does works at times(as it did in ur case too) but those are a temporary solution...permanent solution wud be replacing the trackpad...do take ur BB to a BB service center and get it replaced...
NB: do take a backup b4 that cz after replacement, ur OS wud be reinstalled.
with regards

Wireless Sync keeps being disabled when connecting Blackberry 8900 to DM 6.0.1

Our MD has a Blackberry 8900 on Vodafone (UK), which is exhibiting very odd behaviour when he connects it via USB to Desktop Manager 6.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit.
Despite enabling Wireless Calendar Sync on the device (and indeed it working), the moment it is connected to DM it shows as disabled and when disconnecting the device it is now disabled on the debice too. In additoin, he then can't accept meeting requests on the BB until a hard (battery removed) reboot.
I've already tried the following:
- wiping the handheld and re-running Enterprise Activiation.
- complete uninstall of the desktop software and associated registry entries and files (as per RIM KB)
It also worth nothing that we use a Hosted Exchange / BES proivder (Cobweb), but they say they have not experienced this issue before and that we are trying to sync against an Exchange 2007 mailbox calendar accessed via Outlook 2003.
Any ideas or thoughts most welcome as I've hit the proverbial brick wall. Thanks,
-David

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
We have received word that if you are
experiencing this issue that you need to contact your carrier for formal
support and escalation to RIM. I suggest you be gentle yet firm with
them...sometimes, the front line support at carriers doesn't always
understand how the process works. If they tell you that you need to
contact RIM, tell them that's exactly what you are doing...and it is
their (your carrier) responsibility to escalate your case into RIM.
Good luck!

Blackberry 8900 not charging

My blackberry 8900 isn't charging. For the last two weeks or so, I have realised that the phone was not holding the charge and at times it would not charge or lose its charge very quickly.
Yesterday the battery was drained and when i tried charging it (with several different chargers-wall, usb and car) nothing happened , even after leaving it to charge for a while(about 30 minutes), not even the LED light came on.
I figured the battery was the problem and so i purchased a new battery. Today the battery was low and so i charged the phone and it wouldnt charge.
The new battery is now dead, and the phone still isn't charging...
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

Hey Pallie76,
This could be a hardware issue with the USB port and may need to be repaired but first I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here:

http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Please test before restoring any data to the BlackBerry® device.
Thank you.
