Go to your message icon>>Press BlackBerry Button>>Press options >> General options > > SMS EMAIL Inboxes > > Separate

That shows up as a SMS to alert you that you have a missed voice mail.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 Sound Problems...HELP!!!

Okay I just got my BlackBerry Curve 8330 about 2-3 weeks ago and it's great. But yesterday I noticed that the notification tones for the sound profiles aren't working I've checked them to make sure it's not on mute or turned off, and they weren't. And when I went into the media thing and went to go listen to the ringtones, they wouldn't even play. I don't know what's wrong with it, I've tried looking at the help thing in my BlackBerry, but it doesn't help. Also I don't have internet on my BlackBerry so that can't be a cause. Can anyone please help me and tell me what's going on with my BlackBerry and help me fix it?

Does it happen 3 times a day?
I do a pull once a week just for maintenance. Like a PC you can have fragmented memory, temp files, open files from rouge apps, etc and doing a battery pull resets them.

Blackberry Curve 8330/Verizon-PIN msgs & charging time

Hi folks-
I just recently upgraded to an 8330 w/VZW as the carrier. I noticed the PIN msgs are red. I went to general options under msgs and changed to the feature no for level 1 msgs under PIN. This does indeed change the font to black but you get no notification. I'm a frequent "pinner" and would like notification, however the red font is annoying. How new is this? Is there a way to override this? Are all carriers doing th is as I asked my friend who is with AT&T and his font is black with notification.
Also it seems like it takes longer to charge this model than the 8703e......or am i just imaging?
Thx for the assist!

maybe the red font is something that depends on the theme.

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

BlackBerry Curve 8330 Media Card Problem

I just bought a BlackBerry Curve 8330 from amazon and activated it. Everything works perfectly except when I put a formatted media card into the device it says in options>media card: A media card is not presently inserted in the device. I have tried everything, the battery pull, reformatting the card, reformatting the O.S. and nothing seems to work. I have tried 2 different media cards in this device, a 1gb one and a 2gb one and both don't work. I tried them in other phones and they work perfectly. I would greatly appreciate some support. Also, could I send the phone into Verizon or take it to a Verizon store for repairs even though I bought it online?

OK, try this with the Media Card in the device:
(you cannot "hide" the entire Media Card, you can hide subfolders)
So, open the Media icon > press the Menu key > Explore.
Navigate to the Media Card > BlackBerry > Pictures.
Press the Menu key there > Properties, can you UNcheck the "hidden" property?
If it is grey and uncheckable, it is an empty box, or checked?
Can you see ANYthing in the pictures folder?

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.

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.

Go to Solution.

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 wont charge

When i am charging my blackberry curve 8330, it doesn't charge. It has a green light that is flashing !! Can anyone help me with this problem. I just got it today !! It turned on for a good 5 minutes but than died !! HELPPPP ??????

Hi aeroyang12
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If green light is flashing , then it might be possible that your battery has completely drained out .So please connect it with a good wall charger it let it charge for a few hours, Don't try to turn on your device again and again. After a few hours say 2 hrs while it is connected to the charger remove the battery from the back of your device and then re-insert it back , you can do this sequence every 2 hrs to see if that helps .
Try it or if you can manage a good fully charged battery try that on your device to see if your device boots up.

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!

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.

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.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 won't boot, LED blinks and hourglass spins

I bought this pink BlackBerry Curve 8330 in December of 2008. It has worked perfectly since and I've never gotten it wet. It's been dropped 4-5 times, but never from more than 3 feet.
This afternoon, in the middle of writing a text, it suddenly powered off and the red LED light came on like it does when it is turning back on. It went off, the screen stayed black, then a few seconds later the screen turned on with an hourglass spinning for about five seconds, then the light turns off and everything goes black again for a few seconds, then the LED light comes on again and the cycle is repeated. It did this five times before I had to put it away as we drove home. When I got home, it had finally booted the whole way, but the battery was so low the radio was off, so I plugged it into the USB charger on my desktop computer.
When I came back later, the phone had stopped charging and was on a black screen with the LED light on, just like earlier. It went through this cycle a few times.
I pulled the battery and put it back in, same thing happened. Black screen, white screen with hourglass, black screen.
I plugged it back into the USB charger and as I type this, the little psycho has booted completely and it shows that it is charging.
Device info
Your carrier: Telus Mobility
Model info and OS version: v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59)
Apps and free space
File free before and after a battery remove/replace.: 28042909 bytes / same
Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
Apps installed and their version if possible.: Too many to type out right now, but the latest ones to be updated were SocialScope Lite v0.9.6.20, BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.2.12 (both updated automatically)
BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): No bluetooth (hope that's what BT stands for)
How can I fix this so it doesn't keep happening? Thanks so much in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!
