Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Having a SIM card in won't matter for what you're wanting to do.
1. Make sure you are connected to a main REAR usb port, not a front USB port or a usb hub.
2. a. Go to Options >> Media Card
(some themes or BlackBerrys may call this "Settings >> Media Card")
b. Check the following settings (if they are not listed this way, then change to reflect the following:
Media Card Support: On
Mass Storage Mode Support: On
Auto Enable Mass Storage: Yes
c. Save the settings and exit

  • 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.

  • My blackberry curve 8520 wont connect boot room.

    I recently wiped my device then I tried to reload the OS I could not load because it got stuck on connecting to boot rom. When ever it tries to connect boot rom my device restarts and say USB not recognized.

    Hi there,
    Given the number of things you've done, I suggest a complete start over...
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Some have reported that there are more registry keys to remove than are discussed in that KB
    Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • 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 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

    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!

    Depending on your BlackBerry® device model and wireless network, some profiles might not be supported.
    A/V Remote Control (AVRCP): This profile allows you to use the buttons on a Bluetooth enabled headset to perform actions such as adjusting the volume or playing the next or previous media file on your BlackBerry device. Data Transfer: This service allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to Bluetooth enabled devices that support the transfer of data such as media files.
    Desktop Connectivity: This service allows you to connect your BlackBerry device to a Bluetooth enabled computer that is running BlackBerry® Desktop Software so that you can synchronize your organizer data.

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 Case Suggestions

    Hey gang I'm Jarrod, first I wanted to say nice to meet all you. I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8330 and I love it very awesome phone (this is my second Blackberry) I do have one question would anyone please make some suggestions on some cases for me. I am looking for something like a holster style case and something with a strong belt clip (wont break off easily) and that will protect my phone. I was looking at the Blackberry leather holster case with the magnetic flap that goes over the top. My only concern is some of the upper part of the screen is unprotected (sorry im really protective over my phone) does anyone have this case and if so how good does it work? has anyone got any scratches on the screen or body with the upper part being exposed on this case? I'm open for any other suggestions on cases as well (although I have mostly had holster style cases in the past) I have also looked at the otter box case for the curve as well anyway thanks for the help!

    Have you looked on EBay? They have huge selection and very cheap. I have bought a number of cases and accessories there.
    Cheers

  • BlackBerry Curve 8330 Email Deletion Question

    Greetings and Salutations Black Berry People!
    I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330 and a question concerning it.
    My phone is currently connected to an exchange server that I sync with my phone. Is there a way to delete emails from my phone all at once, a mass purge of old emails under 1 condition: I don't want the emails on the exchange ( the old ones) to be deleted as well.
    I've set my phone to delete messages from my phone after 30 days but can I do what I said in the above paragraph now?
    Thanks a bunch!

    hello,
    in the messages application options, there is one to check delete on : handheld only.
    so that if you delete a message on your blackberry, it is not deleted on the server.
    in the messages list, you can hover on a date, hit menu key and select "delete prior". It will delete all messages that have a date before that date.

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 – fixes for poor audio quality?

    Hello,
    I have a BlackBerry Curve 8330.
                When I use it to play music (mp3s with a good high bit rate) the sound quality is excellent using the “official” headphones that came with the phone (3.5mm jack) and when I play music using the phone’s speakerphone.
               But I run into problems when connecting the phone to 1) External computer speakers (good ones) and my car’s auxiliary input (2007 Camry) to play music off my Curve on the car speakers/system. In both these instances I am connecting the BlackBerry with a male-male 3.5mm connector wire (I understand that the Curve has a 3.5 mm headset/audio output, unlike most phones which are 2.5 mm outputs?).
               I have tried several 3.5 mm male-male connector wires but get the following problems when playing music on both the external computer speakers and my Camry:
    -- Low volume and muffled sound
    -- A loud one-second burst of static/click when the music player goes to next song
    Can you help me figure this out?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem. Using my iPod fixed the problem.

  • 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 and Exchange Email??

    Just got a Blackberry Curve 8330 and was hoping I could use it to get my corporate email.  We are using Exchange SP2 behind an ISA 2006 firewall and OWA is using a self-signed certificate for SSL.  When I attempt to setup this email on my Curve it can not connect to the Exchange server.  I was told that the Blackberry could use OWA to connect, but I am guessing either the ISA server or the self-signed certificate for OWA is causing the problem.  I really love the phone and don't want to have to swap it for something else because of this issue. 

    Ok, well first things first, Does your company have a Blackberry Enterprise Server with their exchange??
    If they do, u need to have a Blackberry Enterprise plan on your service and you can connect straight to their BES/Exchange.
    If they don't have a BB server, you will need to create a pop3 email to link to your device, and have your company forward all your exchange email to your pop3 email.
    This is so large companys must 'pay' a few grand to host a Blackberry server and thus have the email all go through fine..
    If your company does not wish to do this, you must sneak around it the 'Blackberry Internet Solution' way...
    If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
    OR
    If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

  • 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.
