Blackberry Curve 9300 won't send or receive BBM messages

Hi
I have a blackberry 9300 and it won't send or receive any BBM messages for some of my contacts. When I send a message it shows the tick without a "D" or "R" over it and I can't receive messages from some of my contacts. They also can't see any updates I do like status update, display picture update, etc. My BIS is activate because I can go onto the internet and I can use Whatsapp, the problem is only with BBM. I have tried deleting and sending service books but it hasn't worked. I also deleting my contacts and re-invitign them again but that also doesn't work. My last resort was deleting BBM and downloading it again, it also didn't work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
SMS is a purely voice-level service provided by the mobile service provider, and not technically a component of the BB-level services. Hence, you need to work with your formal support from your mobile service provider to resolve this. If you are paying them for SMS services and they are not delivering them, then they need to resolve that. If they need enhanced assistance, they can formally escalate to BlackBerry for that...but you cannot.
Good luck!

Phone won't send or receive picture messages

My phone won't send or receive picture messages. How do I fix this? Is there a way to get picture messages without turning on my internet?

Curve 9300 will not send or receive emails.

I have a curve 9360 that is out for repair. I have a 9300 as a loaner. my email account shows up, but I cannot send or receive emails. it wont let me access it via setup either!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull 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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Blackberry Curve 9300 won't boot up

So I have a BB Curve 9300, and yesterday it was very slow, timer icon kept popping up etc. This in itself is a fairly common occurence on my phone, as it's 3 and a half years old and well used. Anyway, as per usual when this happens, I did a battery pull and left it to reboot. Anyway, about 5 minutes after I put the battery back in, I noticed that the "loading bar" on the boot-up screen was roughly two thirds full. Brilliant progress, I thought, and left it to carry on. I checked again 5 minutes later, and the screen hadn't changed, and it still hasn't. I've battery-pulled it several more times, each time getting to the same stage before freezing. I've tried getting it to work whilst charging, without charging etc, and nothing works.
If someone could offer me a solution that doesn't involve sending it away (I'm a teenager who really doesn't like being away from my phone), I'd be hugely grateful

Unlocked bb curve 9300 , can't send or receive pictures

I bought an unlocked at&t bb curve 9300. At&t, Verizon doesn't work where I live, (northeast USA) I was told by my local wireless company that I could use my sim card with any at&t , or tmobile phone, as long as it was GSM, unlocked. My friend has a bb curve and I really liked it, so looked at one and it was GSM and At&T, unlocked, put my sim card in and I can call , I can text, my wifi works, but I can't send or receive pics or use the 3G. I took it to my local wireless company who then said "oh a bb, I don't know if I can make it work" After they had it for over and hour, came back and told me " no luck"
Is there anyone out there that may be able to help me or is it a hopeless cause? I really like this phone.
Thanks!

Wind doesn't offer the Z10 so you obviously brought an unlocked phone to their network. Unfortunately, the carrier (Wind in this case) controls APN settings so the ball is in their court. Keep in mind that just because a phone works on a carrier's network doesn't mean that every feature will be perfect. Since Wind doesn't support the Z10, you're on your own.
I hope that answers your question.

Blackberry Curve 9300 won't start

Hi, I was using my blackberry on low battery, listening to voice notes on blackberry messenger (another user was sending some series of voice messages, one after another), when my other phone rang I've pressed the pause button to answer my other device. When I came back to my device, I noticed it was totally dead. I assumed it ran out of battery, but after 3 hours plugged to the wall charger, I still have no sign of life from the phone, not even the led light turned on.
So I unplugged it and try to connect via USB to the notebook, no answer either.
Is there anything else I can do?
Regards.

Hi cacao,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
You may need to start a software reload without the battery inserted then reinsert the battery after the software reload has started. http://bbry.lv/k9pwuZ
If your PC is still unable to connect with the BlackBerry, try the following steps to reload your device software:
1. Verify that your BlackBerry Device Software is installed on the computer. You can download it from your wireless provider's website in this list. http://bbry.lv/ad7CII
2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert it.
3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer with the USB cable.
4. Navigate to the file path shown here for your PC OS. http://bbry.lv/nPyBiQ
5. Open Loader.exe and follow the prompts.
9. When you have clicked Finish and the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
Hope this helps.

New iPhone 4S on Verizon won't send or receive picture messages.

Its a brand new iPhone 4S 16GB on Verizon and ive reset it in iTunes like 3 times, called iPhone support line, took it to verizon, and then to the Apple store. All no luck. I can't replace the phone due to my parents being out of town... for 3 weeks. Anyone have any suggestions? Ive tried turning on and off stuff and reseting and still nothing.
Thanks, Dalton

SMS & MMS are carrier features, is your iPhone provision to use MMS by your carrier?
You have to check with them.

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.

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.
Here are the researches that I made:

Tried a couple of things. Still my issue is not resolved
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.

Need Help with App World on the Blackberry Curve 9300

Right i got the new Blackberry curve 9300 about a week ago. All my mates already have blackberry curves 8520's. I downloaded App World to get the same theme has my mate, but when i go on his it says he has over 1300 themes on his App World and i only have around 300 on my App World. Why is this? Also i can't get the theme i want because i don't have all the themes on my App World for some reason. If you could help please reply.

The 8520 and the 9300 are completely different devices with different OS's etc. The theme on an 8520 probably won't work on the 9300. The 9300 hasn't been out nearly as long as the 8520 so there are fewer themes available. This will change with time.

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.

Curve 9300 won't turn on all the way, please help!

My daughter has a blackberry curve 9300. It froze on her so she tried to reboot it and now its gets 3/4 of the way and reboots again. Ive tried everythings possible like desktop manager and jl_cmder but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any suggestions i would be very greatful

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!
