Can't change bbm display picture

Hi I have a blackberry curve 8520. For the past two weeks i haven't been able to change my display pic on my blackberry messenger.
I have called my phone company and they told me there is nothing they can do. I have tried to take out the battery and reset the phone
and it still does not change! I am getting really fed up with this phone now its getting ridiculous. Please help me fix this problem that has
been going on for the past 2 weeks. Everyone on my list can change their pictures except me.

For the past week there have been many users in the Asia Pacific area such as Malaysia & Indonesia who aren't getting their BBM avatar synced across the network to their friends. Perhaps that is Africa as well.

  • CAN NOT CHANGE MY DISPLAY PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PLEASE HELP AS IVE BEEN RECEIVING THIS BROADCAST THE WHOLE MORNING
    DISPLAY PICTURES WILL NOT CHANGE UNLESS YOU BROADCAST THIS MESSAGE: HAVING THE CODE #REP26356
    SFTBC.
    THIS CODE HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED TO ALL BBM ACCOUNTS & TO GET YOUR DISPLAY PICTURES TO CHANGE YOU WILL NEED TO BROADCAST THIS CODE: 0FBC57ZQ69
    IS THIS TRUE???? DONT HAVE TIME TO SIT AND BROADCAST THE WHOLE DAY. ONLY HAVE MY BLACKBERRY FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND ALREADY NOT HAPPY WITH ALL THIS!!

    I think it might be a prank. I just received like 2 and half hrs ago. And, what do they mean broadcast? Like we should pass it on to bbm contacts? Reminds me of Whatsapp prank msgs. If ma fone give me problems. I'm takin it back to where I bought it(TFG). Don't care whether warranty/guarantee has expired.

  • BBM Display Pictures Not Changing

    Hello, the display pictures of some of my contacts have been stuck on a picture for like two weeks now.. I've restarted the phone a couple of times & I deleted and reinstalled the bbm yet its still the same pictures but they have changed their pictures like a million times since then. Help please
    Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

    The problem has been fixed. I can now change my display picture. I guess it was a temporary problem. You can try yours now, and try it with a display picture different from the one you have...
    I guess the morale of the story is, if multiple people are having these kinda issues, just wait a bit; the folks at RIM will notice & get it fixed.
    Deuces!

  • Q10 bbm display picture frozen/not changing

    Please whats the way forward with the Q10 bbm dp not changing that several users are experiencing? Technical kindly give us an update as several complaints have already been lodged on this forum.

    I have had my Q10 for about 3 months and its been a rocky experience. After about 20-30 call log entries, it begins to mix my contacts. Now I have not been able to change my BBM display picture for over a week. And yet I find there are several threads on the Forum about users having this problem but no solution. Is BB Technical listening?

    Hi Lisa06
     If you are having the issue you can Contact your Carrier MTN's tech support , they can look at the issue .
    Still which version of BBM your are having on your device ? Have to try to reinstall the same , If you want to try that then from your Homescreen Go to Options > Device > Application Management > Delete BlackBerry Messenger from that list , then perform a battery pull restart by removing the Battery while your device is Powered On .After reboot from your BlackBerry Browser browse to www.blackberry.com/bbm to download BBM again. try it and see if that help in resolving your issue.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • Why I can not change the display when I turn the Ipad from horizontal to vertical position ?

    Please help to give me the guide line to solve the problem in my Ipad
    I can not change the display when I move the ipad from horizontal position to vertical position

    Have you got a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there is no lock symbol then try a reset and see if rotates after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Bbm display picture not changing

    My contacts can seem to view my display picture when I change it. They can view a picture I up loaded two weeks ago. How do I fix this. :-(
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sometimes it can just take a few days for an avatar to update for other friends of yours.
    Tell them to try this:
    Open BBM by tapping the BBM icon on the homescreen
    Navigate to contact showing up as a PIN, either via the BBM Group members list or your BBM Contacts list, and tap their name as if to open a chat conversation with them
    Tap the top bar of the chat window
    You should then see a refresh (looks like a circular icon) icon next to the BBM Video icon on the top right, tap that and the contact's name should appear and it may refresh the avatar.

  • BBM display picture is blurry! Can not rotate and zoom. Update please

    Hi.. Please help me.. I just bought blackberry q10 but I really don't like how the BBM works. How to fix a blurry display picture on bbm? I'm using blackberry for a long time and I need to share and update my pictures to my family and my friends which are mostly live in another country... Please please fix it.... It can't rotate and zoom too... I tried all pictures to put on my display picture but still blur.. Even the picture I took from Q10 itself which is have 8mp but still blur too.. my friend asked me why my pictures always blur like i took pics with a bad quality camera.. It's not cool thank you before

    This seems to be an issue for some but not others and I haven't yet seen a resolution. It only happens with display pictures. If you send a picture via BBM it should work fine.

  • BBM display picture does not update mine nor contacts

    Please assist. I have a BB 8520. I am running version 5.0.0.57. I am having a major issue. My bbm contact display pictures are not changing, nor are my contacts. I deleted my wife to re invite her, when request was accepted,  I ended up with a blue man.   I have reinstalled bbm and I have rebooted. I added myself to my contacts and I appear as a blue man when I actually have up a picture. I have been checking my concerns over the net and quite a few people are having the same issue. Can any one please assist.
    Thanks

    Hey BRO9220,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    How many BlackBerry Messenger contacts are currently on your BlackBerry?  If over 100, I would suggest lower to less than 90 and see if the avatars update.

  • Can I change the display timing for my wallpaper?

    Apologies if this has been asked and answered. I tried several searches and couldn't find anything.
    I teach project management, and during breaks, I have my desktop set to display pictures from my travels. I normally set it to "change picture: every 5 seconds." However, my students will generally ask for some commentary, and for many of the photos, 5 seconds is really too short.
    Is there any way for me to add another option to the choices in System Preferences for 7 seconds? Failing that, is there any way for me to change the 5 second timing to 7 seconds?

    This is a pictorial teardown of a rMBP. In Step 15, you can see the motherboard with the GPU chip firmly soldered to it. While the GPU is often called a graphics card, as is the ATI Radeon 5870 in my Mac Pro, it's a discrete graphics chip, as opposed to the graphics portion of the CPU which your rMBP also has.

  • Can't change my background picture

    I'd just like to say thank you for your help if you ever do check this out.
    My friends, as a prank, changed my background picture to some random photos I had on my Macbook. However, I've been unable as of yet to actually revert it back. Though they only changed one background, none of my desktops can have their background changed. Also, none of the methods I know actually work - going to System Preferences and manually changing it from there doesn't work, nor does simply clicking a photo and choosing the option to 'set as background picture'.
    Many thanks.

    You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.
