Blackberry Curve 8330 & The New Jawbone

I recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8330 & The New Jawbone, and I'm having a trouble with Bluetooth connection. Once Ipair them up, they stay connected well, and suddenly, it disconnected and reconnected by itself. Sometimes, Bluetooth function in Blackberry becomes disabled by itself. So I took the Blackberry to Verizon store and replaced to the new one, but still same problem occurs. Any ideas??

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Two things to try:
1. Options - Bluetooth - Scroll to paired device (jawbone Click - options Make sure option Trusted is enabled
2. Options -  Bluetooth -  Address book transfer Disabled
According to the knowledgebase it fixes a problem where the Bluetooth accessory drops off after a call is made.
Hope this helps!

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 not playing music

    I purchased this Blackberry Curve 8330 in new condition. I bought a 4gb sd card for my music, ringtones, etc. I synced the music to my sd card using windows media player and then plugged the sd card into my phone. It plays some music. Most of the other music has this error, "An error has occured when attempting to play media." Then it just goes to the next song, same thing happens, next song, and so on. The music plays perfectly when I play it from my sd card on my computer. I have tried the files in MP3 format and WMA format. Any help?

    eh? No, that is not true.
    While charging either to a wall outlet, automobile charger or the USB cable to the PC, the device is perfectly usable for ALL functions.

  • Syncing contacts from a Blackberry Curve 8330 to iPhone 4

    I currently have an Blackberry Curve 8330 and want to transfer my contacts to my new iPhone 4. The Blackberry I have does not support Verizon Wireless’ Backup Assistant. I used Blackberry Desktop software on my Mac and did a backup/synced my phone with the application. What do I do next to get my contacts onto the iPhone?

    Indeed, you carrier may prevent you from using the Windows Live service on your BlackBerry device.
    but it was available back in July 2008.

  • Turning off all key tones on Blackberry Curve 8330

    Is there a way to turn off all of the key tones on the Blackberry Curve 8330 so that when you dial numbers you do not hear a noise?  The only thing that I see is to turn the Key tones on which makes all of the keys make a noise.  I want to be able to dial a call without hearing the key tones.  Is it possible to do this on this phone?  Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello jhnstn33. In the newer device software if your Profile is set to Quiet, Silent, or Vibrate then you won't get the tones when you dial a number. I'm not sure if that changed in 4.5 or 4.6. Which version of the software are you running? You can find out under Options | About.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8330/BlackBerry Storm Dilemma

    So I'm a college student and it was just time for a new Cellphone and I wanted the BlackBerry Storm. I was going through with the deal on a particular site that had it lower priced than the original price. So I was filling out the contract and by the end decided, it may be cheaper to get another phone. (Well I didn't decide this, but it's not the point)
    So instead I go and checkout the BlackBerry Curve 8330. I'm filling out the contract and I fail to realize during the process that it's basically around the same price as the BlackBerry Storm with all of the features that add up at the end. So I go ahead and get it.
    After the fact I do the math and finally realize......"HEY! For the price I might as well have stuck with the BlackBerry Storm."
    So now I'm just wondering, before I beat myself up too much if there is any reason to beat myself up. Is the BlackBerry Storm really that good or am I better off with the BlackBerry Curve or does it matter? I really wanted a new TouchScreen phone and I liked the look of the Blackberry Storm. Not to mention I'm finding out that the Curve is rather old right. Although I do like the Curve. So yeah.
    Any input will be greatly appreciated. I just joined just to ask this so I hope it was worth it.
    Thanks.

    So, I got the Storm.  
    Has some really jiggy action problems on the keyboard and in other areas.  
    I found the Curve so much easier to operate in just minutes of playing with it at the store.
    I just got back from Verizon where another guy was having the same problems.  He had the Curve prior to the Storm and recommended the Curve over the Storm.  
    He pulled out from Verizon and went to AT&T for the new Bold.  
    I think you can chill and enjoy the Curve.  
    I am sleeping on it and may go back pay $35.00 restock and get the Curve.  But maybe not.  My 12 year old son is talking me into staying with the jiggy Storm.  
    I'd say stay with your Curve and move on!
    Peace,

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 vs Droid 2

    So I'm heavily considering trading in my Blackberry Curve 8330 for a new Droid 2.  Was wondering if anyone else recently made the switch and can shar their experiences/opinions.
    I like my Blackberry a lot, but it looks like there is a lot more stuff I can do with the Droid 2.  My biggest concern is that I have read a lot of comments saying that the service/reception is kind of Shotty on teh Droid 2 and people are having reception and dropped call issues. 
    Overall I would say I am pretty happy with Verizon service when it comes to coverage area and reception (at least with my Blackberry), so I am compelled to beleive that the issue is with the Droid 2 phone itself.
    Would love to hear others opinions on this topic.
    Thanks!

    I got a Droid 2 last week and had the original Droid before that. I taught my Mom how to use a Blackberry last year (8900). Based on that I can say that the Droid 2 is a highly functional phone, especially from a email and internet, especially internet standpoint.  The pages load in 5 - 15 seconds depending on web density. Its nearly laptop fast. I know the brower on Blackberry's is weak to say the least. The camera is excellent and you can take video with it too. From a communications standpoint it's outstanding. It's very easy to take a picture of something and with the click of 1 button, you can email it to anyone, post it on facebook or myspace or anywhere you like. I like that functionality a lot. The best way I can describe the phone overall is that it's like having a small powerful computer in your pocket, fast, functional and pocketable. The Android OS works best when you have a gmail account as your primary email account. It downloads messages quickly. Gmail also uses your list of contacts as contacts for the phone. You can transfer your contacts from your old phone into the Droid 2 and it will populate in your gmail contact list. My friend just took my old Droid and transferred his yahoo contacts into it and it populated in gmail and he set up his yahoo account in the phone too, so he can work from both.
    Overall, I really highly recommend the Droid 2. It has a learning curve if you're used to a Blackberry, but worth it in the end. Its a great daily phone with a nice camera and camcorder and excellent social capabilities. I find myself using the pc at home less because the Droid is so capable. Get it!!

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 smart phone

    Regarding the MS office, if you install the BB OS V. 4.5.0.x, it comes with Documents2Go.  By registering, you get the updated version of the app which includes the ability to read/edit MS Excel docs.  When all is said and done, the standard version of Documents2Go allows you to view/edit Word, Powerpoint, and Excel documents.  To create new documents, you need to upgrade to the premium version of Documents2Go.  Documents2Go requires BB OS 4.5.

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 Error when doing backup

    My blackberry curve 8330 has never been able to back up ... i thought that it may have just been my laptop as it was on its way out but i just bought a new laptop and set up the software on it and my blackberry still will not back up or sync with my laptop.  What can i do to fix this problem?

    your backup is good except your sound profiles
    you could also go to backup-restore- advanced
    push all databases from right to left except profiles
    then file save... this way you get backup without the sound profiles

  • Google Maps no longer works for my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. What is wrong with Google???

    For the past 11 months, Google Maps and Gmail have worked wonderfully with my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. Tonight, all of it stopped working. I tried to load Google Maps and failed. Kept getting the error message "Network Unavailable, blah blah blah". I tried restarting the phone, removing and reinserting the battery, until I finally uninstalled Google Maps. Now when I point my browser (OperaMini) to m.google.com to download and reinstall Google Maps, it says "Sorry the Google Maps application does not work on your 8330." This makes NO sense. Why would Google suddenly remove support for my phone? Is there a work around? Before uninstalled, I tried all sorts of tricks with editing permissions to no avail.
    Also, Gmail is refusing to check mail, occasionally saying that a data connection is needed. That also makes NO sense as I have great phone reception.
    My internet (OperaMini) and normal calling and texting capabilities are unaffected.
    In conclusion: Is there ANY WAY to get these Google applications to reinstall and work on my phone? Or has Google screwed me over? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Hyun

  • Calendars for Blackberry Curve 8330......

    Ohhh please help me!!!! I just bought the Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. I a coming from a Palm Treo 700P. I love the Curve but I do not want to have to use outlook. Anyone who used Palm knows you could have multiple calendars and on both the Pam and Computer. I have all my dads medical, appointments, my cancer appointments and both of our lives on my Palm. When Verizon Synchronized it only the phone #'s came through and nothing for the calendar. I am now having to carry my palm treo for the personal information, drug histories, appointments, etc. Does anyone know of a program with the Calendar for both the desktop and the blackberry that I can download that will synch to each other or have any other ideas on what I can do? I would so appreciate it. Thank you so very much for any help.

  • Computer AND Device manger won't recognize Blackberry Curve 8330. .PLEASE Help

    I have tried so many different things. . I am at the end of my rope.  My computer AND the Device Manager won't recognize my Blackberry Curve 8330 anymore.  It use to but then Sprint had me to do a hard reset and it hasn't done it since.  I am running Vista.  I have downloaded all different versions of the Desktop Manager, Blackberry Drivers etc.  I know that the USB works because it recognizes other devices.  Plus when I plug the blackberry in, the little plug shows up for about five seconds and disappears.  Plus when I unplug it and the blackberry screen is dark, it lights up so something is being recognized somewhere.  This is frustrating because I don't have my contacts backed up and I am trying not to do a hard reset to lose them again.  I have tried this on two different computers running Vista and the other XP.  I get the same result with both.  I don't know what happened to make both stop recognizing my blackberry.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
