Blackberry Curve 8520 OS 4 Remove Speed Dialing Code

Hi i have an older Blackberry 8520 OS 4 which i am trying to remove the "1" dialing code
Instructions for newer OS say to change the "Country Code" in "Smart Dialing" to a chosen country or "unknown"
This is in the newer OS and Bold 9900
In OS 4 I can find no such setting
Can someone please help me find it
thank you

Hello redlake,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
The following section from the BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone user guide for OS 5 should help as the steps for Smart Dialing should be the same:

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
There's pretty much no diagnosing those -- they are the equivalent of the random errors in Windows for which tracing the root cause is fruitless. Basically, these are the last out in the programming code -- some event occurred for which there is no handler in the code. The fix is a code update that handles the event...but, again, knowing what the event is is pretty much impossible. So, there are a few things to try:
Sometimes, the code simply becomes corrupt and needs to be refreshed -- just like a reboot:
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.
If it won't boot up cleanly, then you may need to try Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
There might be an updated code set from the carrier -- check them via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
The toughest possible cause is a badly behaving app. To find it, there are a couple of options. One is to see if you can read the log file:
Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type 'lglg'. (You will not see anything while you type).This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably many pages) untill you see a line that says 'uncaught execption'. Click on this line. The name of the app will be in the info. Alternative methods for bringing up the logs are in this KB:
KB05349How to enable, access, and extract the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone
The other method is to remove apps one at a time, waiting a while in between (I usually recommend a week), until the problem ceases...thereby discovering the offending app. Still another method is to reload the BB OS cleanly, leaving some time between adding other apps onto the BB so as to be able to determine exactly which one is the cause.
Good luck and let us know!

thanks

Do you have a media card installed? If so, remove the battery while the phone is powered on, remove the media card (leave it out), then reinsert the battery and let the phone fully reboot. See if that makes a difference or not.

How to download Thai Font to Blackberry curve 8520

My blackberry curve 8520, T-mobile network, ver 5.0.0.681 hasn't got Thai Font on it. I would like to download Thai font for reading and input (writing).please explain how to do it step by step because I do have not much knowledge about computer or software. I have read some topics says that I have to download and choose the network provider which mine is T-mobile and it provides only Muli-language (not All Languages) which I can't write it (only reading). I am not too sure it is correct or not.I believe I need to download Blackberry desktop software as well. please also give advice on these software.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages (add/remove programs, Uninstall a Program -- it depends on your Windows OS level)
2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
If your carrier only provides a "Multi Language" package, then you may need to look at other carriers OS packages, and find some that have "East Asia" or "All Languages" ("Multi Language" indeed does not have Thai, as per this KB).
4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
5) Now launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC, and you should be able to select the languages you desire If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
Don't forget to backup.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software

Mi Blackberry Curve 8520 no se reinicia

Hola, el día de hoy mi Blackberry Curve 8520 se auto-reinició pero en la pantalla inicial, donde la barra va marcando el avance del inicio, se atora después de haber marcado un avance del 70% aproximadamente y no hay modo de que avance y concluya el proceso para poder usar el dispositivo... ¿qué puedo hacer para solucionar este problema?
Gracias!!!

Thank you for your advise, I really apreciate it, I wrote in spanish since I wasn't aware of the other site.
In this case I'd like to get help with my device since it self-restarted and then it won't reload the OS again, it stops on the black screen where the Blackberry logo is shown above the progress bar and when it gets to a 70% it won't move and I need to know if I can do something about it or if I must go to a service center in order to get the device fixed.
I already removed the battery, applied the soft reset and anything is working.
Thank you again for your help

Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?
Solved!

BlackBerry Curve 8520 stuck in alt mode

My BlackBerry Curve 8520 got wet a few days ago, it's since been left to dry out with all parts removed on top of my Virgin Media box. I checked for damage today & it appears to be working fine, apart from the fact that it's stuck in alt mode.
Any suggestions on how I can get it out of alt mode? The button doesn't appear to be stuck. The 'alt' icon in the corner changes to '123' when I select the left shift button, but when deselected it changes back to alt mode.
I've done a few battery pulls, removed all third party applications & re-installed its OS.
To be able to type normally with letters I have to either hold down the 'return/back' button, 'X' 'V' or 'B' button, or the '$' button. Whilst holding these I can select whether I want 'alt' or not, but then it returns when I let go anyway.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Was using the phone just on BB messenger, holding '$' button to type letters & the alt mode went off on its own! Hope it doesn't come back now!

Hi!
When this happened to me, I searched endlessly for a solution but I couldn't find anything that didn't involve going to a repair centre or taking my phone to pieces. I was hoping for a simple solution! I was really frustrated as my phone's relatively new and well looked after and I couldn't do a thing. After about an hour of doing everything I could, it fixed itself and I forgot about it.
Luckily, whwn it happened again I was with my boyfriend who asked me to let him have a look. I was adamant that he wouldn't be able to fix it - I'd tried everything!
When he handed it back to me, no longer stuck on Alt, I was amazed. Now every time it happens I simply press (hard) and hold the Alt button for a second or two and that fixes the problem! Amazing.
I just knew I had to post it on here to save people time, anger and money, so I created an account. Hi!

Blackberry curve 8520 buttons not reacting properly

I have just bought a blackberry curve 8520, I have put in my sim card,everything goes fine, but the keyboard was not reacting,only the roller in the centre, now i have seen the posts about taking it out and cleaning it,but I just cannot get it out, the more i try the more it looks like it is getting damaged. But anyway after fiddling around with it. I discovered if I hold the button on the left side of the phone(the voice activation button) then press the back button etc i can control it, and get to the different screens, but obviously this is not ideal. Does any one know how i can sort this problem out? I have gone to options and checked if it has been changed to do this on the keyboard options and it has not, the option is still set to voice dialing. Help Please!!!!!

Hey ruang007,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
From what you have described this sounds like a hardware issue, I would suggest contacting your point of sale to review warranty and repair options.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Blackberry Curve 8520 won't turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on,there was a red light on for a minute! Took out my sim card,memory card & battery and tried to charge it then. It came up for literally one second a drained battery sign. Really don't want to send it away, any help would be great Thanks!

Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

Youtube on Blackberry Curve 8520 only working in 1 certain place.......why???

I can never get youtube to work on my blackberry curve 8520 (orange) except when im at my workplace.
At my work im connected to their wireless network, but im also connected to a wireless newtwork at home yet it doesnt work at home.
It also doesnt work anywhere outside.
Why would it only work in my workplace, something to do with my broadband provider at work? I cant seem to think why that should make a difference?
any help would be great.

It would have been great for you to mention what error you get when trying at home or anywhere outside of your work WIFI. I also have a Curve and I cannot play Youtube on Vodacom, problem is to do with bandwidth allocation by service provider, at work you might have higher bandwidth speed allowing video streaming, check if someone with similar phone on Orange is able to playback Youtube videos. The networks are not willing to release bandwidth for video streaming unless you will be billed extra like some networks do. Hope this solves the issue.

Blackberry curve 8520 doesnt stop vibrating!!!

Hey; I posted about my blackberry curve 8520 not stop vibrating; but its been like if for about 2 weeks; its really starting to annoy me now; ive even tried a new battery; can anyone please help me; i really regret buying this crappy phone!

(Goes well with a crappy attitude, eh?)
While you do have a previous thread running on this same issue, I'll offer my advice here anyway...
It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

My Blackberry curve 8520 wont turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 doesnt turn on and when i try to charge it , there is just the red LED light and the screen shows up some picture which shows a red cross on top of a battery. I also tried to connect this to my computer but it doesnt respong and also try with another blackberry original battery it showing same . but when i put my battery to another blackberry phone that phone is turning on properly . please help asap.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
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 an 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. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
