Blackberry Curve 8530 text issues, please help!

I have a problem opening some texts on my blackberry curve 8530, most of the texts i get are threaded and i can read them fine. When I get texts from certain people and i open it, its just black and i cannot see any text so I have to forward the text to my phone to see what the person has texted me. Then i have to delete the text i forwarded to myself otherwise it wont work the next time i send another fwd text to myself to see what they said. It happens consistently with the same people in my contact list. Most people are fine, but theres a few people i text that this happens with and it happens every time they text me. Ive looked through settings and I have no idea how to fix this or how to change it. Its getting really old to have to fwd the texts people send me back to my phone to read them every time they text me. Can anybody please help me????? It would be much appreciated. Please please help me with this or explain to me whats going on with it. I have no other problems with my phone other than my screen freezing up every once in a while.
Thanks so much!
Diana

Diana, the first thing I would suggest before doing something more invasive like a device wipe and restore is a simple reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
See if the issue perists.

Hello Darcey11,
Do you have a proper active data plan with your carrier? It is required in order for BBM to function correctly. Check out why contacts request remain in Pending state in BlackBerry Messenger http://bbry.lv/dz6zah

BB Curve 8330- Calendar issues, please help.

Hi,
I just got the phone a couple of weeks ago. I use the today theme that came on the phone because I like to see my upcoming events on the phone when I turn it on.
I have a couple of questions:
1. I notice that my All day events, like someones birthday, or NO School, do not show up on the today screen as an upcoming event. /Any way to change that?
2. Some upcoming events are not listed (it only lists 2 events at a time) but others after them are listed, even though when I go to the calendar application, they are there. For instance, I am working 5-11 on Labor Day. So I have that entered on 9/1. It is not one of my two upcoming events on my home page, but events occuring on 9/6 and 9/7 are. Why is that, and how can I change it?
While these are not really big issues, because the events are not missing from the calendar and I can still see them, its just odd to me and annoying me because it doesn't make sense.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Thank you!
Carol

Hi Carol,
How long has this been occurring?
try this: pull the battery while your device is ON, leave it out for a minute, replace it,
Let the device reboot 1-3 min. See if you calendar displays correctly.
Thanks

BLACKBERRY CURVE 8530,, help me ASAP.. P L E A S E

So I had this blackberry curve 8530 for about a week already. I like this device, but it does not let me send or receive picture messages. I need help ASAP... P L E A S E

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Picture Messaging (technically, MultiMedia Messaging Service -- MMS) is a function of your contract with your mobile service provider (Sprint). You must subscribe, from them, to a plan level that is adequate to include MMS (and any other services you desire). As such, discussing this with them would be the best approach. See this for general guidance:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
Again, that is only general -- with hundreds of carriers in the world each with dozens of different data plans, only they can answer specifically about what should and what should not work.
If they tell you that you are subscribed to an adequate data plan, then don't let them fob you off. After all, you pay them for 100% of your services and 100% of your formal support...you should insist that they deliver both.
Good luck!

HELP!!!! Can't Open Picture attachments on my email on BlackBerry Curve 8530

I am having many problems with my new blackberry curve 8530. I just purchased this last week and can't seen to be able to view my pictures that my brother sends me from across the country of my brand new nephew. I NEED HELP!! I called Bell Mobility and talked to them for 40 mins and I got no where.
Can someone help me!!!!

Where are you clicking to view the image, like I asked.
At the bottom of the email, ON the attached file?
Try that.
You might need your BlackBerry Attachment Service Books re-pushed to the device, although your not being able to SEND an image sorta makes me think that is not the issue.
Anyways, do this:
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
Now, try retrieving a picture again.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

A soft reset may resolve the issues outlined on your post. To perform a soft reset on your phone please follow the instructions below:
Remove battery with phone ON. Replace battery after 10 seconds. Power phone ON. Allow phone to complete the applications registration.
Please keep in mind that Smartphones are like computers and from time to time they will stop responding due to multiple factors including the amount of applications running at the same time, the amount of media saved and the amount of memory available, and just like our computers need to be rebooted, our phones need to be rebooted from time to time.

V5.0 software update for Blackberry Curve 8530

I updated my virgin mobile blackberry curve 8530 to the v5.0 software update , but the sms text DOES NOT look anything like the BBM chat. It hasn't changed at all from the last version . That's the whole reason why I updated it. Please help . Thank you .

That's one way to do it... you could also do it Over The Air (Options - Advanced - Wireless Update) or you could download the file and install the update via Desktop Manager. One word of caution though... personally I recommend the OS 5.0 .459 update not the .654... There are many posts on many forums detailing why people have issues with .654 (I'm one of them and I downgraded from .654 to .459). Of note, loss of the manual standy feature and changing the keyboard lock methods, and the trade-off of battery life over reception.
You can get the download file starting here and choosing what is applicable to you :

My Blackberry Curve 8530 keeps shutting down

WHy does my BB Curve 8530 keep shutting down every half hour or so? And of course, it takes 9 minutes for it to restart so I am missing calls and texts many times a day. Is it a software thing that can be fixed? I am not upgradeable for another 7 months, so I'm stuck with this phone! Help?

Hi rowinchrist,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
To rule out any possible software issue that may be causing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8530 smartphone to shut down, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
Please test to make sure the issue has been resolved before restoring any data from your backup file.
Thanks.

Blackberry curve 8530 wont accept password

I have had a blackberry curve 8530 since march and it is now july! Everything has worked until now when i tried to install the desktop manager and it wouldnt accept my password. I tried 10 times and now it says "last attempt" and i don't want my phone to reset everything! Pleas help me!!!! I don't know what to do!!! (P.s i haven't backed up my phone!)

Hi 85curve30,
If you have any numbers in your device password and don't hold in the Alt key when entering them on the device, try entering the corresponding letters on those keys on the PC when it asks for the password for your connection to the Desktop Software.

I need help!
My Blackberry Curve 8530 is stuck on a white screen with battery image in the middle of the screen with a red line accross it.

Just to let you know I have dwonloaded the sofware and installation loader from my carrier. I connected my BB to my PC via USB cable- the PC rocognized the device at first and istalled the drivers, but when I run the application loader it says that the BB is not connected and I have the option to connected and retry it---I did, I disconnected the USB and re-connected, tried it again, but I keep geeting the same thing. Not sure what to do next-
Can someone help me with this issue?
I appreciate any help in advance.
Thanks!

How do you add footers in the BlackBerry Curve 8530?

I'm actually asking on behalf of my employer. I wanted to know how to add/create footers using the BlackBerry Curve 8530 model series.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't know what footers are.
I know what an email signature line is.
For example, each email you write would have automatically added to the end:
"Thanks,
Bob Smith
Smith Corporation
111-222-3333 phone"
That?

Toggle iMessage Off then On
Turning iMessage off then on again worked for my particular issue. You can do this by following these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“
Slide “iMessages” to off for about 3 minutes, then turn it back on.
Your iPhone will be re-registered and may clear up the duplicate text message notification problem.
Repeat Alerts Setting
There is a setting that repeats notifications which could cause this issue. Check it with these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Notification Center“.
Choose “Messages“.
Ensure that the “Repeat Alerts” setting is set to “Once“.
Send & Receive Setting
Another setting that involves sending notifications to multiple numbers could be the issue as well. Check the following:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“.
Choose “Send & Receive“.
Ensure that only your phone number is listed in the “You can be reached by iMessage at” area. If you have an email address or anything else listed, it could cause duplicate text messages.

Headerrenderer issue -Please help

Headerrenderer issue -Please help
hi
I have a datagrid and I am doing a custom sorting on the grid(by getting data from DB).
I achieve this by capturing the headerrelease event of datagrid .In thee venthandler I will query from DB and do event.preventdefault to prevent standard grid sorting.
Now I need to display my own custom ascending/descending arrows in the header.i have created an header renderer for this,
In the headerrenderer I am lsitening to the headerrelease event of datagrid and in the eventlistener, as per the sortfield, i am trying to make the sort arrow visible/invisible.
But somehow making the sort arrows visible/invisible is not working.The initial arrow works fine.it is shown the correct column(Name) as done in the init() method.
The eventhandler is invoked on clicking the column headers and all the alerts are shown.
Please see the headerrenderer code below and help me.(code is not complete only the relevant part is included)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:HBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" creationComplete="init()" implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer">
public function init():void{
headerLabel = dataField.label;
_dataGrid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,sortChanged,false);
if(_dataField.localeCompare('Name')==0)asc.visible=true; }
private function sortChanged(e:DataGridEvent){
var dg:DataGrid=e.currentTarget asDataGrid;
varcolumn:DataGridColumn = DataGridColumn(e.currentTarget.columns[e.columnIndex]);if(_dataField.localeCompare(e.dataField)==0)
if(asc.visible ||(!asc.visible&&!desc.visible))
Alert.show(
'in..');
asc.visible=false;
desc.visible=true;
else if(desc.visible){
asc.visible= true;
desc.visible=
false;
else{
asc.visible=
false;
desc.visible=
false;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Text text="{_headerLabel}" />
<mx:Image source="{ascIcon}" id='asc' visible="false">
<mx:Image source="{descIcon}" id='desc' visible="false"/>
</mx:HBox>

I got the solution!!
i need to assign the headerrendereer to the columns dynamically inorder for this to work:
if anybody wants to know details of solution let me know

Certified Pre-Owned Blackberry Curve 8530?

I'm looking at getting a blackberry curve 8530 and i was wondering, how good are the certified pre-owned ones? In general, are certified pre-owned phones just as good as brand new ones? are certified pre-owned blackberries prone to more defects since they have been used by someone else? i would like to hear anyones personal experience with a certified pre-owned blackberry, thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to the Verizon forums. The Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) phones are checked and double checked to be in superb working order. CPO devices are, for lack of better description, just like new phones. It will come with the same warranty as a new phone from Verizon. Myself, I own a CPO Blackberry Bold 9650. I could not tell it was used when I looked at mine after I received it from Verizon. If there had been a problem with the phone, it was fixed by RIM and I could not tell what had been wrong with it. Usually, CPO devices are phones that may have been on display or ones that someone bought but later returned shortly after the purchase. (See Verizon Wireless' Return Policy and Worry Free Guarantee). I hope this helps answer some of the questions you may have. Good luck with your purchase and if this is your first Blackberry, you will love it.

Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
THANKS GUYS

THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...
BUT YEAH THANKS AGAIN...
WASTE OF TIME THIS IS...
