Blackberry 9300 all messaging very delayed

Good morning
I have a Blackberry 3g 9300 on Cell C - I use various messenger apps - mostly BB and Gtalk - and I have noticed that initial messages from other people to me take 7 minutes to appear on my phone - emails are delayed also by the same sort of amount and when in conversation with someone it will say "so and so is typing" and then nothing happens ... unless I send something out (all my friends are getting used to arbitrary full stops in conversations, I tell you) and when I send the something out if the other person has said 4 or 5 separate lines of text - they will all come through at once.
Please help its very annoying and is destroying my social life!
Oh and I have tried hard rebooting several times and deleted gtalk entirely and reinstalled (even though it happens with BB too) and all of that did not help.
Since then i have also registered the handset manually - through thehosting routing table menu - and that didnt help either

Yep, sounds like the batt. If you don't mind me asking, when did you last use the phone and if you kept it in storage, did you ever take the battery off?

The BB is brand new, only 2 weeks old, last week I played the first song and it froze a little every 30 minutes. Now it freezes all the time.
When I bought it the battery lasted 12 hours, now it is down to 3 hours. I removed settings that use up battery power ie. no vibration, low volume, no email notification, I go online quick and close the browser.
1. Why does it freeze?
2. Is 3-4 hours battery life normal? When I got to bed, I charge it fully. I wake up 4 hours later and the battery power is gone (without usage).

Blackberry 9300 g3 curve and Eduroam

I have recently bought a Blackberry 9300 3g curve but I am not able to connect to Eduroam at my work (University of Twente) and I am frustrated. I tried several things but simply it did not connect. However, I can connect to the WiFi network of the university if I login as a guest. But it is valid for one day only. I am sure that some one must have found a way to connect to Eduroam in the Netherlands and will be very grateful if you can help me in setting up my blackberry.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
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.
Best!

The screen of my Blackberry is all white on which there is this message" App Error 523" Reset.

Blackberry 9300 and 2012 4Runner Bluetooth marking emails as "unread"

I recently synced my Blackberry 9300 with my bluetooth in my 2012 Toyota 4Runner. The functionality is fine as far as receiving calls and emails; however, every time I get in the car with the blackberry, about 10 random emails that were already marked as "read" become marked as "unread" on my Blackberry and in my Outlook.
How can this be fixed?

Hi all,
I have the same problem happenning on a 2012 Toyota Rav 4 Limited, issue is really anoying when you receive high volume of e-mail like I do and be forced to go trough them to re-mark them as read once or twice a day.
To get rid of the erroneous message count the only solution that I have found so far is removing the battery from the headset. I have check with the IT crewl at the office and they do not have a clue why this happening, I have paired my BB with other vehicles (other than Toyota Brand) to see if is handset related and there is no issue.
I will approach the Toyota dealer as well to place a claim.

Mail app keeps re-caching all messages when it starts

Hello
In past 10 days i have a very big problem which gives me headaches already. The problem is ( i did not change anything!) mail.app keeps re-caching all messages and attachments everytime i start the app. I have over 40.000+ mails so you do the math about how my bandwith eaten by the app. As i said i did not change anything. Anyway after searching dozens of forums and suggestions i did these steps:
- removed MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 files. No fix alsa mail.app won't create new ones since then
- removed whole cache, files, folders and accounts and re add them. No fix
- Clean install of mavericks. No fix
- Tried other apps like airmail, sparrow. Kinda no fix because airmail wont download whole messages only 1 month period even i choose to have all messages. Sparrow keeps giving error of unable to locate folders on the server. Only my windows thunderbird client works like a charm, there is no any issue at all but i hate windows.
- some terminal commands before clean install which i really dont remember due to high number of commands. By the way i am using IMAP settings
I really need a help here. I am talking about huge number of mails which are very important for me.
Thank you

Console.app "All messages" view is empty

When I open the Console.app on my new MacBook Air, the "All messages" view is empty. I've tried deleting logs and fixing permissions, but to no avail. Any tips?

Yes, you've found one: it happens to me too. Got a new MacBook Pro today, transferred everything via Time Machine, and now I have a few things that don't work, but the Console is completely blank.
I'm guessing the "all" query tries to access some file I have no rights for. That could very well be, since I don't log in as admin. And sure, when I do log in as admin, I can see the logs. They're quite full, actually.

How can I redirect all messages to 2 another mail servers?

Hi all
./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
I wanted to redirect all messages(in and out) to another mail server, I configured as follows,
- imta.cnf
! tcp_local
tcp_local smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
! tcp_intranet
tcp_intranet smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
- backother.filter
require ["fileinto"];
if address :all :matches ["From"]["*"]{
redirect "[email protected]";
keep;
stop;
One e-mail account receives all messgaes and those messages will be kept in sender's or receiver's mail storage.
I want , however, redirect all messages 2 or 3 mail servers.
I tried several things to do this include edit backother.filter(this is written in Sieve ), but I failed.
Is there any way to redirect messages to another mail servers?
Any way would be good , using sieve script, make antoher channel or channel keyword
Thanks

Redirecting the message means it will not be delivered to the original recipient.I know so I wrote 'keep' keyword to deliver messages to the original recipient.
capture "[email protected]";
I tested it but the capture's behavior was very weird, subject had changed to something like,'deliverd status notice', sender had changed to postmaster and additional notice messgae inserted into mail body.The default sieve capture action encapsulates the email to keep a copy of both the envelope information and the original message. MS7u3 also supports the Exchange journal encapsulation format through the addition of the ":journal" parameter.
I edited 'capture' like this..
capture :message "[email protected]";
The ":message" flag removes the encapsulation -- therefore you will have no idea of who the original sender/recipients were as the envelope information has been discarded.
It worked fine. It was same as the result of 'redirect'.
but the following line, sent10 messages to each recipients.(receive_01,receive_02)
capture :message "[email protected],[email protected]";
maybe there was some 'loop' actions happened.The email produced by the capture sieve action is being "captured" which is resulting in a loop. You can stop this by adding an envelope test e.g.
require ["envelope"];
if not envelope :is ["to"] ["[email protected]","[email protected]"]
capture :message "[email protected]";
capture :message "[email protected]";

Serious problem with blackberry 9300 Curve handset and denial from BB to replace the same, under warranty.

Dear Blackberry Authorities,
It is really a horrible experience with the handset of blackberry for me. I have purchased blackberry Curve handset 9300 on 22nd April from a "Phone Store”, Shop No.78,79,community centre, New friends colony, New Delhi, The Invoice No. is 319,The details of the handset are as follows:
Handset: Blackberry Curve 9300 1256-India Qwerty-Pink
Name: Blackberry 9300: ETA-716/2010/WRLO
Model: RDA71UW
It has been more than just three months ,when i purchased this handset ,It worked fine for about only fifty days from the date of purchase and from the second month ,to my shock, serious problem started in the handset and some time it was getting hanged ,sometime some keys in the keypad did not work ,some time it was getting hanged the moment I receive incoming call., sometime sms sending problem, some time some other problem ..Every time I used to switch off the phone and start again, then it used to work but after some days again there were some other problem occurring in the handset.
The phone was not getting connected to PC from the starting, and i have tried so many times but i fail to get success.
Many a times when I used t send sms the entire alphabet typed on sms has gone separately as a single alphabet in a particular sms to the recipient, causing embarrassment for me in my organization. I would blame the black berry for this embarrassment as this has caused due to faulty phone they have sold me,
I am service class person and i get occupied with my work at office in the day hours and doesn’t have time to go to the service centre of blackberry every time the problem occurs, as there are only one service centre available in Delhi at Lajpat Nagar.The service centre is about 20 Kilometers away from the area my office is situated, I managed to keep the phone running by switching off and switching on after one or two minutes, every time the problem occurs but in the first week of last month ,when the problem started continuing after switching off and switching on also ,I was bound to go to service centre at noida since it is close to my place (about 14 Km) in comparison of Lajpat nagar at new delhi,the service engineer at blackberry service centre saw my phone and said there is some software problem which can be rectified by reinstalling the software, and there are some hardware problem also (some keys on the keypad is not et. all working) ,for which i have to surrender my phone to them and they will send it to the Blackberry Office (they did not give address) and it would take 15 days at least ,thus since I had no back up phone and my each and every contact no. was there in phone it was difficult for me to give them handset at that time ,so I requested them to rectify the software problem by re installing the same.
I asked the service manager to get the backup of all the data and contact no saved into the phone, but they refused to do so and they asked me to go to some other shop nearby to get the data backup, I went to that shop and they asked 250 Rupees for data backup of my phone. I was bound to say yes to them for the amount the charge for backup .I gave them my handset and after 20-30 minutes they came back to me by saying, we cannot store your data backup as it is not connecting to PC. It was a highly disappointing reply for me.
Then i again went to your service centre and written down some important contact no.(the number which was stored on phone book) on piece of paper and taken out my SD card ,and gave them handset for re installing the same.
They gave me my handset after one and half hour and said" now it would work fine except hardware problem.".I came back and to my utter shock again after two three days handset was into its old condition ,then also I tried to manage with handset and when i could spare sometime I went to your service centre again on 24th July at Noida,
they took the phone and said it would take 12-15 days to return the handset after rectifying the problem,when i requested them to change the handset with a new handset which is at least in good working condition , they clarified that if the hardware problem is not manageable or repairable ,i would get new handset had no option except to give them handset for rectifying the problem.
Now,It is the time for a biggest shock from blackberry people-Today on 3rd August ,i have received a call from noida blackberry service centre to inform me that my handset cannot get repaired under standard warranty conditions of blackberry as there are some moisture into the phone and there is no warranty if there is a moisture inside the phone.
Thus now i wish to inform all the concerned ,Blackberry/Research in Motion ,managers/authorities ,that i have explained above ,all the things ,happened to me in last three months of my purchase of handset, in detail ,so i would again request to Blackberry/Research in Motion ,managers/authorities, to rectify the problem of my handset or change the entire handset so that I can use the same peacefully and should not roam around the service center of blackberry.
Giving this lame excuse that "there is a moisture inside the handset and thus it can’t get repaired or changed under warranty " is a clear case of cheating and harassing the customer, I have bought the handset to use it for my communication purpose not to roam around the blackberry service center nor to put water or moisture inside the handset and play with the handset and fight with all of you.
If there were some moisture inside the handset then that should have been seen by the noida service centre people also during my First visit itself by them and they would have refused taking the handset for repair. They did not refuse but accepted handset and reinstalled software also, If there was some moisture that would have been seen by them that time only.
In my second visit also the took my phone and seen the inside condition also of handset in front of me ,they did not see any moisture, that time also ,and now after 10 odd days ,there are some moisture inside the phone??????.
I have no idea how blackberry keeps its handset ,which has come to them for repairing ,but if there is any trace of moisture into my handset ,that would have come into the handset ,during these 10 days only when phone was with blackberry authorized service engineers for repair purpose. What I know is that My Blackberry handset is under warranty and it is not working properly thus it should be replaced by Blackberry.
On the keypad if some key are not working that is a hardware problem which was there in the handset and it has no connection with the moisture.
If this is the way blackberry is treating its customer, i would say it is harassing its customer, and does not want to rectify the problem .in this case, I would have no option left except to go to the consumer court in Indian judiciary system. And moreover i would inform my and other friends, organizational employee also not to use services/or buy blackberry handset if this is the way BB is treating its customer.
I would request all the concerned persons/managers/authorities of Blackberry/Research in Motion, take action into my case urgently and rectify the core problem into my handset instead of giving lame excuses, and change the faulty handset of mine with a new properly working handset under warranty condition.
Best Regards
Asim

How do I keep copies of all messages?

Thius may be an easy one, but I can't figure it out. I have three email accounts: 2 IMAP email accounts and a .Mac account. Since the first two are IMAP, when I delete it on my computer, it gets deleted on the server. If I don't delete them, I very quickly reach my 100 Mb limit (in a few days.) I also like to keep my inbox clean, only active issues.
I could manually save all messages, but that is a chore.
Ideas as to how I could set up a mailbox that keeps a copy of EVERY message (in, out, deleted) on my computer, while allowing me to delete from the servers?
Thanks,
Peter

Open Mail Preferences, select Accounts from the toolbar, select an account. Click on Mailbox Behaviors tab. Last item, Trash: uncheck the box labeled "Store deleted messages on server." This will stop Mail from storing deleted mail on the server. All deleted mail will now be stored locally. Do this for each of your mail accounts, then clear out the deleted mailbox on the server to recover space.
You will note that you can do the same for Drafts, Sent, and Junk mailboxes if you prefer to save them locally rather than on the server.

Inbox loses all messages older than one/two days

So, I'm the proud new owner of an iPhone, and while I'm generally very happy with it, I'm having some email troubles that I hope someone here might help me sort out.
The issue is that all the messages that come into my mailbox disappear after a day or two, which negates (at least for me) any advantage to having on-the-go email. My iPhone is set up to receive email from a POP account, and so far, I've had no problems receiving or sending mail - it's the not-deleting-emails-from-my-inbox issue that's giving me fits.
At first, I thought it might have something to do with the settings on the desktop computer (Mac Pro) which is also set up to receive emails from this account. The mail application on the desktop had been set to delete all messages from the server a week after the message had been retrieved. Given that the messages in my iphone are deleted from the iphone's inbox a day (at most two) after retrieving the message, I don't think this is an issue (in any case, i am under the impression that the iphone works like any other email application - once it retrieves a message, it is downloaded onto the device, correct? it doesn't just live on the server). In any event, to be on the safe side, I changed the Mac Pro's email settings to never delete messages from the server, but this hasn't affected my iphone's problem.
I've toyed around with the iphone's settings, but nowhere can I find a setting that addresses this specific problem. Anyone out there had the same trouble I'm having? If so, were you able to fix it? is it something I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance.

That is the correct spot, what is/was that option set to under deleted Messages? Try setting it to Never and see if that might change the emails behavior. If that is not the cause then it might be a issue with the Mail Application Software on the phone in your particular case and would need to restore the phone.
Another thing to try is to remove the email account on the phone then re-add the account and see if it is doing the same thing.

E72 Deleted all messages and now OviSuite backup w...

Hello there - I am in such a mood and want my problem resolved so much that I will pay anyone that helps
Basically on E72, I had messages in inbox, my folders and sent section. Once I restarted phone and then phone froze. I felt the problem was due to Vlingo application, because I pressed home button to see which applications were open that were casuing the freezing. So I restarted the phone and all messages were deleted. However my messages were saved as a backup on another memory card. So I only lost a couple of texts. But the same, exactly same problem happened yesterday. Now all texts on both memory cards have been deleted. I have now disabled vlingo to open on start up.
1. The only backup I have now is a pc suite backup of texts, as an .nbu file which I can restore using pc suite or ovi suite. However after I restore, the messaging application does not open and I have to restart phone. Also the texts inside "my folder" do not appear, only in my inbox and sent. Is there any way, of getting all the texts to appear including my folder texts? I really need the texts in MY FOLDER from the backup.
2. Obviously the above solution doesnt give me all my texts back, so is there any chance of restoring the texts, from the memory cards even though it doesnt work when I insert it inside the E72. Im hoping by restoring old data inside the memory card by opening it on the laptop or something?
3. I heard, that texts do not get deleted at all, but just blocked, so anyone know if I can unblock them?
4. Or can my network provider send me texts, that I have recieved and sent over last couple of months.
Please anything that will help, from anyone thats experienced and can solve my problem or from a Nokia technician, anyone???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Oh right, like I said I saved on mass memory.
Which software do you use to back up - pc suite or ovi suite?
I used pc suite ONLY to backup, hence maybe why it didnt save messages in myfolder? I have 3 other old backups, but even they do not have myfolder messages, only inbox and sent.
The backups are a month old anyway..both the memory cards had new updated texts - anyway I can retrieve them? I still insert them every now and again, hoping they appear, but they dont.
Ive tried using Recuva software, but I dont know which format txts are saved in memory cards, like is it excel etc? So i dont know which files to recover, ive tried recovering everyfile, but then it says material is copy protected or something similar.
Youve been great help so far, regarding NBUexplorer. thank you very much. If you or anyone could help me with recovering memory card texts, then it would help, seeing as the backups are of no use now.
I still dont know why, on two occasions my e72 froze and after restarting it, all texts were deleted. Like I said, I saw vlingo start on both occasions, so Im blaming it on that

Rebuilding my Sent mailbox multiplies all messages!

Hi,
Since I was getting error messages while importing my mailboxes into the freshly installed Leopard mail program, from my Tiger backup, I thought I'd go back into the Tiger version and rebuild my mailboxes. I clicked "rebuild" on my 4000+ message Sent folder, after which all messages were duplicated! I clicked "rebuild" again, hoping this would solve the problem: now I have 17048 messages, four copies of every single one!
Very frustrating.
How can I solve the problems Leopard mail is having with my mailboxes?
And is there some way to reduce the number of messages in my Sent folder back to the actual amount? (Aside from selecting the messages individually and clicking "delete" a little over 12000 times)
Thanks very much for any suggestions!
Alexandra

Andreas Amann's (freeware) Mail scripts includes a 'Remove Duplicates in Mail'.
It works on Tiger and maybe Leopard.
INFO:
Locates all duplicate messages found in the selected mailbox(es) and move them to a separate mailbox for easy removal (duplicate matching is based on the unique message header "Message-Id")

How do archive all messages over 5yrs old for easy access if needed

My Thunderbird folders are very large after 10 years and I have over 100 sub-folders. I need to keep all messages but would like to keep the oldest, say over 5 years old, separate as I rarely need to see them again. Archiving would make navigation easier. Where in Thunderbird's help pages does it explain how to do this , as well as how to access the archive ? Is it better to make a new profile called Archive and move the archived messages to that ?

Assuming you have all your emails pre-organised in folders called : Acme, Brown, Carter etc
When you created the Archive options, if you had selected yearly and retain folder structure, then it would be archived as follows:
> Archives
> > 2008
> > > > Acme
> > > > Brown
> > > > Carter
> > 2009
> > > > Acme
> > > > Brown
> > > > Carter
If you selected monthly and retain folder structure:
> Archives
> > 2008
> > > >2008-01
> > > > > >Acme
> > > > > >Brown
> > > > > >Carter
This would mean that all the Acme, Brown, Carter folders would be in Archives, but the size of the folder will be smaller because it is divided by year, or even smaller if monthly is used. (If you only have a few emails per month then yearly would be ok). So, if you have not organised your emails into eg: Acme, Brown, Carter folders, then do this first, then when you Archive them they will still be located under Archives in a folder of that name, so easy to locate.
Folders containing emails that you see in the Folder Pane are in reality mbox files - not folders, and these files are stored in your profile folder.
Each file has emails stored one after the other, in the order they were downloaded, so emails are not stored in individual files. If you accessed your Profile folder and opened one of these mbox files using 'Notepad', you would see one huge long document. Each mbox file also has a .msf indexing file.
Large documents carry a greater risk, if something goes wrong, you could lose a lot of emails. The point of using the auto archiving is that this will sub divide those large files into smaller files and therefore carry less overall risk per file and use less memory when accessing.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Performance_-_Thunderbird
'' Thunderbird loads a folder's *.msf file into memory whenever it opens the folder. By default it keeps up to 30 *.msf files open for 5 minutes (and their contents in memory), unless they are "special" folders, which it never closes. It loads the inbox.msf file for every account on startup. The best way to minimize the amount of memory used is to archive messages you have already read or otherwise no longer need in Inbox into folders that you rarely open. Moving a message to an archive folder opens it, so consider archiving messages by year and month rather than yearly so that the archive being used doesn't get excessively large. ''
If you choose to not use Archive options and instead manually created Acme, Brown, Carter folders in the Archives folder,it means you will have to manually move emails into those folders.
In which case, you will just be creating new large folders, which will get larger everytime you move an email. As they are Archive folders then they will end up with even more emails than you currently have, so I'm sure you can imagine what could happen over time. With Archived emails you need to consider the long term.
At the end of the day the choice is yours, but at least you now have some information to make an informed choice.
