Blackberry curve 9300 manual network selection

when i set my curve 9300 to manual network selection, and i select my networ, if i go in a palce underground or something and i lose the signal, the phone doesn' t pick up the signal automatically when i am back in a coverage area. instead, i find an alert window that says "can't find home network and asks me to chose whether i waast to: set it to automatic, go into settings, or cancel" and i have to either go in settings and select it again or jsut set it to automatic and it will find it. in other smart phones it usually gives that alert, but as soon as i am back in a coverage area, it picks up the home network on its own without having to go to settings. so is this the normal behavior?

Correct, because you have set the device MANUAL network selection.

Need help with a Blackberry Curve 9300, please...

Hello, everyone, I had a look around the forum and came across a post which offered advice one what to include in questions, so I have tried to include the info below.
Device info
Your carrier: Unlocked (was using Virgin)
Model info and OS version (Go to Settings, then Options, then about): Blackberry Curve 9300, OS 6
Apps and free space
File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 60%
Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
Apps installed and their version if possible. (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None, only the ones that come with it after reset to factory
BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): Don't know what this means
When writing your question
Any other details that would help us out with your issue: This was my teenage brother's phone, which since has been given to me. The phone was severely mistreated; thrown around, stepped on and chewed. The battery had to be replaced as well as the middle chassis and the front and back cases along with the keyboard, bottom clip and screen.
Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before: I managed to get it working after I had replaced everything listed above, but it will not charge using the cable. I have to keep taking the battery out and plugging it in seperately to charge, then putting back in the phone. This is after replacing the cable as my brother broke that too, so it's not the cable. He's damaged the data/ charge port.
The camera will not work, but at the moment I am not looking for a solution for that. The error is: "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again". No applications are open and the OS has just been updated to the most recent version. For this reason, I think he's managed to break that too and it would need to be replaced if that's possible.
My issue at the moment... My mother, as you can imagine is furious with him for trashing the phone she bought him at about £250 when it was new a couple of years ago. So, as I have managed to get it to turn on and pick up wi-fi, she has said I can keep it. I am on Virgin Mobile and this phone is unlocked. It will not pick up any network even using my Virgin SIM card which works fine. My brother was also using it on Virgin.
I can use it with wi-fi and have already contacted t-mobile and Virgin Mobile to make there there's no problem with them. There isn't. The number has been put under my ownership and the phone registered to me now. It is not blocked or blacklisted, yet, only comes up with SOS for network.
Because of this, they and the local phone shop think he might have damaged the antenna inside. I am an iPhone user, this is the first time I have used a Blackberry, so I have no idea - can the antenna be repaired by myself?
Or, given that the camera doesn't work either/ needs replacing, would it just be better to get a replacement using my contents insurance? I am unsure which would be cheaper, to get the parts and try and fix it myself, or pay the excess for the insurance.
Advice appreciated... Thanks in advance.

Hey MaggzieP,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This KB article will determine if it is a software or hardware related issue for the camera: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15544
Also if you tried more than 1 SIM card in the BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone and it still shows SOS, this could be hardware related as well.
For all repairs, I can only suggest checking with the point of sale or network service provider for further options.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

TWO PROBLEMS:( BLACKBERRY CURVE 9300) 1) Unable to send/receive e-mails 2) black square with a minute hand whizzing round

Hello,
I have a BLACKBERRY CURVE 9300
i would be most grateful if someone could help me with persistent problems, which ive previously enlisted the help of T-mobile to resolve but to no avail.
1) I am unable to send/ receive e-mails, this has been an ongoing problem which seems to sort itself out for a short while then returns, i have been asked to remove e-mail accounts from device and re-boot, and as i say works for a short time then starts again.
2) I have this annoying black square in the middle of the screen with like a second hand whizzing round which can sometimes last ages. I was told by t-mobile this was due to not doing regular device updates, i have since done this and as i type continue to see this symbol.
Any advice/suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thankyou.
Andrew Goodall

The spinning clock is usually an indicator of low memory. Make sure you are completely closing apps your aren't using by using the close or exit option in the menu instead of just backing out of the app with the escape key. Also check your memory after you have rebooted your device. If it is still low then you may have to delete apps you absolutely don't need or use to get memory back.
As for the email issue I am assuming you have a data plan since you have tried to fix the problem with Tmobile. If you haven't done so you may have to re-register your phone on the network and or log into Tmobile's BIS site to resend your service books.

I need to know a lot of things about Blackberry Curve 9300, I need hel please...

Hello there! Some of the questions or problems I'm encountering now maybe for some is nothing & seemed silly but for me it's giving me headache. First, just downloading & installing the Blackberry Desktop Software for PC is giving me a problem already, I downloaded & installed Blackberry Desktop Software v.5.0 but seemed not compatible with my PC & Blackberry Curve 9300, some options & features were missing/incomplete. So what is the best BB Desktop Software for BB Curve 9300? And I want to upgrade my BB Curve 9300 v.5.0.0.977 (Platform 6.3.0.63) to 6 OS. However, I want to know the advantages of the 6 OS first, what features are so special with this OS? Is it ok to download & install the 6 OS leaks? Among those leaks(V.6.0.0.448; v.6.0.0.418, v.6.0.0.380, v.6.0.0.344; etc.) what is the best & safest & most compatible with version of blackberyy Curve 9300 that i have??? Is it a must to upgrade my version of BB Curve 9300 to 6 OS? Í love changing my themes, wallpapers & ringtones but the version I have doesn't allow me to do so... So limited choices... What can I do???
I will really appreciate any comments, suggestions, replies regarding my concerns... Thanks!!!

Hi and Welcome to the forums!
Wow...that's a lot to pack into a single paragraph with a large colorful font! But, let's see if we can take your points one by one, shall we?

Exactly how did it seem not compatible? Precise descriptions are always better than vague generalities...which leave us to only guess...which helps no one I find...
Netteski wrote:

Again...what, exactly?
Netteski wrote:
So what is the best BB Desktop Software for BB Curve 9300?
The most recent version (6.0.1.18), available here:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
BTW...the version of the Desktop Software itself is not at all tied to your BB model, nor your BB OS level. It is always best to use the most recent Desktop Software version, regardless of BB model/OS that you have. (There are some very special cases that are exceptions to that...but they are indeed very special.)

OS 6 is very very different from OS 5. I suggest you read the release notes, view the videos, and other things. If, ultimately, you decide you don't want it, then you can always fall back.

I don't know if those versions are leaks or not. But, if they are from a carriers download web portal:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
then they are official and not leaks. From what I can quickly find, the most recent official OS for the 9300 is 6.0.0.461 (from Telus). Typically, on this officially sanctioned (by RIM) site, we shy away from much discussion about leaks since they have bypassed the official channels and are not sanctioned by anyone for release to the general public.
Netteski wrote:

Nope...you can stay behind for as long as you want. Just be aware that someday your OS will be End Of Life and there will be no further formal support. Before you ask...no, I've no idea when that would happen.
Netteski wrote:

Given that OS 6 is even newer, I'd expect that your choices for those things would be even further limited. But, over time, that will shift and there will be plenty of options for OS 6 for you to play with.
Good luck!

IPhone 5S manual network selection

Hi all,
I have an unlocked iphone 5S and seem to have an issue with the manual selection mode. I was travelling outside my resident country and switched to manual network selection mode to choose my preferred roaming network in the foreign country. After spending 10 minutes scanning, the phone didn't come back with any results although there was clearly network coverage of my preferred roaming network where I was standing. I had to restart the phone and then surprisingly ios 7.1 changed the network selection mode from manual to automatically. After changing it back to manual, I was finally able to get my preferred network. However, there was another issue with this - after successfully registering onto the preferred roaming network and having made calls on this network, the phone for some odd reason switched to another network which I hadn't chosen. This happened despite the network selection kept on manual. Eventually, my roaming bills went through the roof due to this.
Can someone pls help out with this issue?

Just to clarify the original query.
1. I manually select, say, three Sweden when I'm in Sweden.
2. Just so we're clear, I have tried switching off and then re-booting the phone in manual mode.
3. I do whatever mail sending etc is necessary only to find the phone has flipped over to, for example, 3G Sweden, which is not part of the Three Group.
4. It seems to me that in the midst of preparing a message etc, the network goes down and the phone then picks up the next strongest network signal in the vicinity, even though the network selection is set to one network only. And therein lies the problem - the flicking over and back costs money.
Three.ie blame Apple, but why do I have a sense that it may not be all Apple's fault, that there may be a network switching issue mixed up in it as well?

Memory Card Issue with my BlackBerry Curve 9300

Hello,
I have been using the memory card for more than a year. It's a SanDisk or a ScanDisk memory card. It's 8 GB. I didn't use the card that came with my BlackBerry Curve 9300 phone. I'm always trying to delete files or to copy files, most of them are music files from my laptop to the memory card via memory card reader.
Now I am encountering a message that I need to repair the memory card whenever I try to insert it to my phone again. And most of the time whenever the phone automatically repairs it, some files are corrupted or considered as a "lost chunk files".
How can I recover those files? And why did it happen or always happen in the first place?
According to this site, you need to reformat it: http://www.techtalkz.com/tips-n-tricks/1535-memory-card-corrupted-here-solution.html
So what I did is to copied everything to my laptop then reformatted it completely.
It kinda solved the issue but for how long will I won't be experiencing the "repair memory card" issue and the "lost chunk files" issue?
Do I need another program to reformat the memory card and not to use the one that comes with every windows computer?
Does using a memory card reader or using a memory card adapter (for the microSD card) corrupts the memory card?
I have been researching on how to completely recover the files but I'm a bit confused.
There are a lot of recovery programs out there.
Can you guys help me out here? Thanks.

I think you should try each and everyone of the solutions suggested in the link I provided, given that it covered both harware and software suggestions. And always reset the device by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2 after each step.
See if that resolves the problem.

Blackberry curve 9300 photos wont view

My blackberry is taking pictures, but when i go to view them in my media, i cant see them? is there anything i can do to solve this?

Hi EMS1994,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Please try to reinsert both your media card and your battery and test again.
If this does not resolve the issue, are you able to see the pictures by navigating to your Pictures folder in Explore? This KB article provides the steps. "Explore the media card and Internal Memory Content" http://bbry.lv/SczDmH
Are you able to access the pictures using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software when your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone is connected to a computer?
Hope this helps.

X3-02 "roaming" manual network selection reverts

Hi,
As the header states, I wish to lock my phone to the "roaming" network. The phone successfully connects to roaming for a few minutes, then frustratingly reverts to it's Home network automatically.
It can be seen that the menu option also reverts back to "Automatic" network selection.
The conditions are as follows:
3G 'Three' 900Mhz - very poor reception that drops out
3G 'Roaming' 850Mhz - perfect reception
Please advise how to make the manual selection stick.

Different carrier, despite manual network selection

Why does the manual network selection not fix the chosen network carrier.
I use the option manual network selection, select my preferred network carrier, but once I loose the connection to the chosen carrier (train ride), my iPhone 3GS starts a new search and switches to a different available carrier, despite manual network selection activated. As far as I was concerned, manual network selection should prevent the iphone 3GS to search for a different carrier, except the one chosen.
When I go back into the network selction menu, manual network selection is still activated and a checkmark is set on the preferred chosen network. Despite these facts, the iPhone 3GS is logged in to another carrier's network, indicated in the top left corner.
This is a big problem, when I'm using my iPhone in another country. Roaming Costs are high!
A quick search in the www indicateds, that I'm not the only one with this problem. As it can cause high additional costs, this problem should be fixed as soon as possible.

honestly i don't think its a apple iphone direct issue. here's what i know...i have had a no service on my 3gs randomly coming up on my phone for nearly a year now. i have done everything you've stated and still the same. i recently just went to australia and used a telstra sim card and it worked flawlessly for 2 months. i believe that bell and telus have changed their signal or something that is causing this but they will deny it to the bitter end. so...why not just buy another iphone? Exactly! thats what they want you to do! It's just a ploy to get you to buy another phone. if you can get another carrier besides these 2 crooks i think you will find it works. try buying a cheap prepaid sim card to see which carrier works best in your area before selecting a plan.

Nokia E71 Manual Network selection Problems

HI
I have the E71 on the Three network and it allows roaming in this country (something thats usually locked off) to avoid roaming charges I went to change the phones network select option from Automatic to manual, I get the usual pop up to select the network I want to connect to but when I go back to the network options screen it shows as automatic and does indeed allow roaming. How do I actually change to manual network selection.
Cheers

I can't believe that Nokia have not resolved this problem.
The problem gives a direct influence on the cost of calls, which is very excessive.
I spent 3 hours on the phone to Three to try to resolve the problem and nothing worked. Tried removing sim card and putting it back in, factory reset and hard reset.
For a regular traveler this phone is a nightmare. Call charges can range from £0.25p to £1.50 and 0.12p to 0.25p. Also call charges may be applicable in the UK depending on your network provider.
Quite simply not fit for its purpose. A mobile phone by definition is "a hand-held mobile radiotelephone for use in an area divided into small sections, each with its own short-range transmitter/receiver provided by a specific network carrier".
Unfortunately the phone does not meet this definition. Under the Trade Descriptions Act of 1968 should be entitled to a refund as customers have been mislead by the sale of the handset. Also the phone directly misleads roaming customers.
Also under the Sale of Goods Act of 1979 the mobile phone should be "fit for purpose". Unfortunately the E71 is not fit for purpose as a mobile phone does not meet its definition and as a customer the network provider does not provide a fair service carried by the network. Most networks are contractually bound to do so.
If you have a problem with this phone please contact Nokia or your provider to try to resolve the problem and push the new firmware as soon as possible!

Manual network selection for iPhone 5

i need manual network selection for iPhone 5 why do not?

You bought the wrong phone.
Yes, it will work. Up to a point. LTE will not work as they use different LTE bands. Contact AT&T to make sure 3G data is provisioned properly on your account. And consider returning the phone and purchasing one intended for AT&T (or an unlocked phone) instead.
