Bluetooth Curve 8330 Issues

I have a Blackberry Curve 8330. I tried to pair it with my car's HFL, Acura TSX. The car cannot find the phone, and I think I have tried almost everything. Not only can my car not find my phone, but my friends' phones cannot find my phone. I made it discoverable, deselected the serial port profile, removed encryption (security level still high). Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Curve 8330 Stereo Headset Issue.

Hello, I purchases a new Curve 8330 a few days ago and the headset which was included with it (the 3.5mm 4 Pole Stereo Headset) does not work when I play music from the Internet or from the Media. It also doesn't work with any calls. The volume always comes out of the speaker in the phone, not the headphones. Is the headset exclusively for Bluetooth use? My iPod headphones work on my Curve and the Curve headphones work with my iPod, so I'm confused.
I read the previous posts related to headset issues and I couldn't find an answer to this. Thank you!

I'm having a similar problem... my blackberry headset does not work properly. I mean.. it was working when I first got it-- and then all of a sudden, it stopped. It was cold outside, and I never really thought about it again. I was frustrated... and about a week ago I called tech support to inquire...
They siad my blacberry headset jack was most likely damaged, as:
My boyfriend also has a blackberry, and I had the same problem with his out-of-box blackberry headset. (It would work, and then not work unless I pulled it out of the jack slightly).
Regular headphones I use with my ipod worked just fine in my blackberry (curve, by the way).
My headset worked in a sales associate phone when I took it into the store. Granted... my store doesn't fix blackberries-- they just have you send them in.
Luckily... I'm under warently. I wish I weren't so in love with this phone... it seems to be really fragile. My last one was coming apart at the seams in the back around the battery come day 2....
... wait until you try to upgrade your phone's software...... whew. It's rough.
--- ps. it's working plugged in right now and i'm indoors...

Curve 8330 unable to sync due to USB issue

I am unable to sync my Curve 8330 with the desktop application. The error indicates it can not see the device. I have tried all of the USB ports. I downloaded from the web version 4.5 (the Curve came with 4.3). I took the USB cable back to Verizon (my carrier) thinking it was somehow broken. I have my IT work on my system for 60 minutes, and sopke with tech support for Blackberry 3 times.
My system information is as follows:
Phone - Blackberry Curve 8330 (Verizon model # RBU21CW)
Computer - IBM T43 Laptop
System - Microsoft Windos XP (Professional), version 2002, service pack 2
Carrier - Verizon
Any help is more then appreciated....

BB Curve 8330 Trackball issue

Greetings all - I've been having an issue related to my BB Curve 8330. When I roll the trackball, it works fine when it's moving left to right, right to left and moving up. But, it will not scroll down. I've removed the battery to try and reset it, have also used "dust off" to try and blow out any dirt that may have lodged in the ball. All to no avail...It feels like it's "sticking" when I scroll down. Any thoughts as to what may be wrong and how to resolve the issue? In advance, thanks!

IGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard Driver for Curve 8330

I just got the IGO Stowaway Ultra-Slim, my Curve 8330 can see it under discovery, and asks for code, I type in 123 enter and 123 on the keyboard and no response,, I have been been following all sorts of links but no luck, The IGO Site (thinkoutside) is terrible and advises they have discontinued support for their keyboards..
HAS anyone been sucessful getting the two devices to link up?
If I don't get it to work, I am putting it back on EBAY,,,
Thanks in advance
D

Hi...
In the quick setup here are the bullets....
Configuring the keyboard:
1. From the BlackBerry main screen, launch the Stowaway Keyboard application.
2. Select Yes at the "Enable Bluetooth?" prompt.
3. On some BlackBerry devices, when launching the Keyboard application, you may see an
"Insufficient Permissions" status. In this case, it is necessary to change the BlackBerry's
application permissions for the Stowaway keyboard application. The following permissions
must be set to "Allow": Bluetooth, Interprocess Communications, Device Settings,
Keystroke Injection, and Security Timer Reset. If any of these options are set to "Deny",,
the keyboard application will provide an "Application Permissions" button that will take you
directly to the Permissions screen. The options will have already been set correctly for you, you
need only Save them with the BlackBerry "Save" menu option. (Note: If a "Device Options"
button displays instead when you launch the Stowaway Keyboard application, you will be given
manual instructions for setting and saving these permissions.)
4. Once the Application Permissions have been saved, place the keyboard in Discoverable
mode by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> keys on the Stowaway
Ultra-Slim Keyboard. This is indicated by the Keyboard Status Light (above the <T> key),
flashing green once per second.
5. Within the Stowaway application, select "Connect to Keyboard" from the menu.
6. If prompted, enter the numeric-only passkey of (1-9 digits of your choosing) on the
BlackBerry device using the dialpad, and press the Trackball or Track Wheel button or the
<Enter> button.
7. Type the same passkey on the keyboard using <LFn+numbers> using the number row, and
press <Enter> on the Stowaway Ultra-Slim keyboard. If the passkey process succeeds, the
keyboard should be connected within a few seconds.
8. You may receive a prompt to "Allow connection to a local port?". Select "Yes", and the
driver will be available for connecting to your Blackberry.

Curve 8330 email & Mac Mail issue

I have a Curve 8330, about two years old. Service from VZW, and I am set up with BIS. My email account is from comcast.net. My laptop is a MacBook Pro and I use Mac Mail for my email program on that. I just changed over from using Entourage (by Microsoft) for Mac to Mac Mail as my default email. The day I did that I started receiving (on my Curve) emails from Nov. 2009. That corrected when I had Verizon delete my email account and re-establish it. Then just today I received some duplicate emails of what I had already received earlier in the day. NOTE: Neither the old emails nor the duplicates showed up on the laptop, using the same email address. The duplications have not happened since noon today. VZW CSR went into the BIS website to establish my account and I just validated that. THE Question remaining (besides what caused the old emails and the duplication) IS: when I receive emails on the laptop Mail first, they show up BOLD (as unread), within seconds of the same email coming into the Bb Curve, the email on the laptop goes to Un-Bold as in Read already. That never happened in Entourage. What's up with that?

The issue with the duplication and old email is probably due to the messages being left on the mail server, and when you changed mail programs it downloaded them all again. This somehow made these messages look like new email to the BlackBerry Internet Service, so it downloaded them to the device again.
As for the read and unread status changes, I have a few questions. Do you have your email account setup in your Mac Mail as IMAP or POP? Also do you know if your email account is setup to use IMAP or POP on the BlackBerry Internet Service?
Hope this helps.

So u neeed to add extra attribute on sender FCC

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.

Did a battery pull fix your issue? No

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!

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!

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

Can't transfer calendar: Palm Treo to Curve 8330

I've been helping my husband switch over from his Palm Treo 600, using Palm desktop, to new BB Curve 8330. A salesman transferred name and tel #s only. I've managed to switch most of his Palm into Outlook, and sync'd Outlook with the BB. The only problem now seems to be that the calendar is not syncing over to the BB. Suggestions???
I have tried to sync setting configurations several different ways: to sync all or calendar only, to have Outlook override device, and two way. Nothing will get the calendar over to the BB, although all his addresses and tasks are there now. Help!
TIA,
Michelle (for Chuck)

Hi,
Outlook 2003 and desktop manager v.6 will be perfect!
Yes install the main email address on the Blackberry to match Outlook.
On the Blackberry you get a calendar for each email address you use.
Only one can be synchronized with the Outlook calendar.
You can go to Outlook, tools, email options and make sure of the default account.
Then on the Blackberry from the home screen, options, advanced options,
default services. Use the main email options CICAL is the calendar and CMIME is the email.
By placing them as default you then sync email address to email address calendars.
Make sense?
Let me know if you need anything else!

Camera Problem with Curve 8330

Hi - I have a Curve 8330 and the camera has recently started acting strange. When I look at the screen to take a picture, the image is "posterized" (ie, it looks like an Andy Warhol poster, with strange colors).
I can find no setting to fix this...I have also tried both a hard and soft reboot, with no luck.
When I take a picture while looking at the "posterized" screen image, it does not save it, even though I have plenty of file space left.
Help! :-)

I am having the same issue as well (and done the same things), and have not been able to find anything either. I am not sure if this is now a hardware issue and not a software issue.

New verizon curve 8330 missing browser

Hi,
This may sound like s dumb question, so my apologies. I just activated my new (well old, but new to me) Verizon Curve 8330 and it does not have a browser app. I tried to go to opera to send me a download link, but even with that I can't get my phone to go to it. I did perform a security wipe before I activated it. I can't seem to find a browser to download to my computer to install through the desktop manager either. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Are you sure your data plan is in place? How did you activate it?
Lets try this:At the home screen go to the connection icon,click on it,
and go to service status, click on it, menu key, select diagnostic test, select
run. In the course of the test the phone your data access will be checked and
a registration request will be sent. After the test completes you can read the categories
and see if a PIN test worked, and registration request was sent successfully.
If the test fails I would call the carrier and have them verify you plan,
If the test is successful they the following:
Go to options/ advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification email. Then go to email settings and send service books.
You will get an confirmation of setup for each email account.
After this is complete, do a battery pull to reset the device.
Let us know now it goes!
Thanks,
Bifocals

BB Curve 8330 that chirps

I have a BB Curve that chirps when I am in the middle of a call. It doesn't matter if I am using my handset, if it is on speakerphone, or if I am using my bluetooth. Verizon sent me a replacement phone and it is still doing it. Is anyone else having the same problems>

Hi,
The problem you describe was found to be an error with the software on your phone. See the thread at http://community.vzw.com/t5/BlackBerry-Devices/High-pitched-sound-beep-while-on-calls-on-BB-Curve-8330/m-p/169248#M13360
