How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

Hi Vanessa,
There are two ways to solve your problem.
1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
Hope this helps

Curve 8320 corrupts OS periodically and then cannot boot (blinking LED only)

I have a T-Mobile BB Curve 8320 that I've had for about 9 months, and I have what appears to be a recurring problem.
Three times now, the phone has corrupted its OS, and it will not boot. Each time it does it, the symptoms are first the phone is non responsive, and just shows the spinning hourglass cursor. The last time it did it while in the Mail app, which is the one I use almost exclusively. The phone appears to lock up, showing the wait cursor indefinitely. This time I waited a half hour, and it was clear that it wasn't coming back. So I pushed the power button, and it shut down the phone. But then when I tried to turn it back on, the screen never came up, and it just blinked the red LED "forever." (It was about 18-20 hours before I got around to trying to reload it.) The first time this happened was when the phone was running the OS version it shipped with, which I think was 4.3, but I don't recall. But now it has done it twice while running 4.5.0.81, which is the OS distribution T-Mobile makes available for the Curve.
The first two times it did it, I used the application loader to wipe the device and reload the OS. When in this state, BB desktop manager doesn't see the device since it can't boot. But if you click through to the application loader, you can get it to load. (Or you can run the application loader outside of BB desktop manager)
This time, the application loader started up, offered the choice of what to load, and then proceeded into the next phases. Erasing the device succeeds, as does the next phase where it loads the OS. But then it gets to where it is loading application modules, with a progress bar for each module and one for the overall progress. It got halfway through the overall progress, and failed with an "unspecified error", suggesting to try again. I tried it three times, and it failed the same way each time.
After calling T-Mobile, they bounced me over to RIM, and the first guy had me go through the app loader again with the same result. When he started pursuing USB connectivity issues, I asked to speak to someone else. (There are other devices on this system, both mass storage and input, and none of them ever show connectivity issues. )
The second tech had me rerun the application loader, but this time only select the core OS, leaving out all the apps. This succeeded, and then he had me rerun it, loading the rest of the applications. This also succeeded.
But the problem I still have is this. There is no explanation why the phone corrupts itself every couple of months, or why loading the OS and the applications in one step failed to work _repeatedly_. I believe the device has a bad memory address, and the two step OS load simply danced around it. And it is that which is causing the phone to corrupt its own OS to the point that it cannot boot.
The tech tried to pass of the corruption due to loading third party applications, and while I can accept that a rogue application can corrupt memory locations that it has the ability to write to, I don't know if the BB OS/device uses any form of protected memory, or if apps are essentially unrestrained. The only third party applications I load on this are the Google app, with Gmail, and Opera Mini.
To be honest, if the BB OS is that fragile that I can't even load these two applications on it, I'll be trading it for a different email capable phone.
Anyway, I'm looking to find if anyone else has a phone that repeatedly gets corrupted so it can't boot, and requires a complete reload. Also, is there anyway to test the memory on the phone? I'm going to call T-Mobile back and try to get them to swap my phone, because I can't afford to spend three hours on the phone with tech support every couple of months when my phone dies.
thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Our cases sound a bit different. I seldom use Desktop Manager, as I sync through BES. I do use it for backup though.
But over the time my phone corrupting itself has happened, I've upgraded from BB OS 4.3 to 4.5, which required an update to Desktop Manager, and following that I upgraded to a new computer. So I've changed computers, BB Desktop software, and BB OS software, and the problem has happened across all of those changes.
You should have been able to restore the OS even if it was corrupt. Desktop Manager won't recognize the device if it won't boot, but application loader will still find it. The first two times I did it, I used instructions basically like this: http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry?page=4
But since then I've found I can just access application loader via BB Desktop Manager and do the same thing. I did notice when my OS reload kept failing this last time, that using application loader directly showed more of the failure message. It still wasn't anything useful, but when I reran the reload via Desktop Manager, I recognized the error was the same, but noted that I didn't see all of the output of the standalone application loader.

How can I get Video Recording! on my Blackberry curve 8320 ???????????? HELP PLEASSEEEEE

Hi, Im a bet stressed out i just got the blackberry Curve 8320 from Tmobile and realized it has no Video recording however the person that sold it to me says they downloaded a program like a converter or something and they used to have video recording on it. Can you please tell me how i can get video recording on mine Please. Thank you.

to use video you need an upgrade. The name is handheld device software OS. I believe you have 4.2. 4.5 is required.
You have to wait for TMobile to release the 4.5 OS.

Blackberry Curve 8320 Smartphone - Recording Videos

HELP! I can't for the life of me figure out how to record a video with my Blackberry Curve 8320 Smartphone. Thanks!

I have may icons but not one for Video Camera. I have one for Media and when I click on it there is an option for videos but can't figure out how to record from this location or perhaps this option is only for watching videos. Thoughts/suggestions? Also, how do I check software version? Thanks SO much!

Curve 8320 How to read and input Japanese?

i've got Curve 8320 with UK orange carrier. i've already downloaded Desktop Manager version 4.6 with Media on my PC. I want to know where i can download software for japanese support to my mobile? Orange UK seem doesnt have East Asia or Chinese, Japanese support in https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.75 (Multilanguage)
Package Version: 4.5.0.75
which doent include Asian languages. many thanks in advance

Wireless carriers disfavour that but you can install device os for your device model but from another wireless carrier.
Check this link: Blackberry OS FAQ
Find a carrier who provides device OS with asian language support download OS package and install on desktop computer.
After that delete Vendor.xml from installed files.
Connect your device to desktop computer and run BB Desktop Manager/App Loader to update the device OS.
Do not forget to backup all your sensitive data before updating the device OS.

My Media Card keeps Rebooting my BB Curve 8320

I recently got a replacement bb Curve 8320. I had a media card in my old phone and when I put it in my new phone it kept rebooting my cell phone every 1-2 minutes. I went and bought a 4GB Media Card, had the guy at T-Mobile Format it and then went home and placed all of the photos, videos, music and purchased ring tones from my old media card to my new one. When I placed the new Media Card into my phone it keeps doing the same thing. I get the hour glass and then the phone reboots over and over again. Someone please help!!!! The phone has been wiped out and all applications have been updated, so I am not sure why this is happening.
Very FRUSTRATED!,
Thanks,
Jes

its also best when installing the 4.5 software to your BB, that the media card is removed from the BB during the installation. It has been known to cause these problems. Once the software has been fully reinstalled, you can then reinsert the card.
If your card was in for a previous installtion, best to format the card within the BB again.
babylabes
In my very first post I gave you directions on how to locate the exact version installed on your BB. It is very useful information to be able to help you. Also why do you plug the card into your PC to put files on it, you can plug your BB into your PC and transfer them to it that way. and in your case I would follow the instructions of making sure the .dat files are not being copied over, and make sure you dont have anything that is not media content. something you are transferring is corrupted. dont copy the folders over. Copy content in the folder to the new empty folder on the BB. (reformat while in the BB first so you have the folders)

BB CURVE 8320 Rebooting

Apparently my BB Curve 8320, is rebooting constantly, what could it be? and how can i repair it?

If you installed any application recentely the try to remove it (if you can access the device). Also remove the media card that is installed in your device and have a soft reset by pulling the battery out for 30 sec.
If performing above doesn't solve the issue then you can try updating or reinstalling the device OS.

Disc Card Size for Curve 8320 (AT&T)

I ordered the Curve 8320 (AT&T) which is in transit as I type and I was looking at ordering some accessories from Amazon. While checking the SanDisc Cards I noticed several different complaints about the sizes.
Some said 8 GB was too big and there were complaints about what class they came at. Some thought it was going to be class6 or 4 and it came as class 2. I'm pretty ignorant to any of these things and wouldn't have even known about it had I not read the reviews.
Also they were talking about getting the card with the adaptor. I suppose thats so the card can be put in the desk top slot?
I'd like to know in laymens terms what I should get that will make things the easiest for me to deal with.
wouldn't simply connecting the BB with the cord to my PC be the simplest...and why would I need to do anything different like some of the reviewers in Amazon speak about?
I was looking to buy this card with the adaptor. 8GB class 4 with adaptor for $20 Does that sound right? (or the one below this link? )
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CQT0X4/ref=s9subs_c1_23_at2-rfc_p_si2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_...
Then there's this 4GB that says it's specifically for the Curve 8320..hmmmm

First things first. You will need to check what version OS your device is running before deciding on what size card to get - unless you upgrade the OS to 4.5.0.81 or higher. The 8320 can come with OS 4.2.2 which only supports a 4 Gb card. Supported card size info can be found here. Check this post for info on upgrading you device's OS.
Second, I don't know what "Class" means with an SD card - I would guess it means what speed it is. Speed is really only a significant factor for high resolution (over 5 Megapixel) cameras.
While you can simply plug your BlackBerry into your Computer using a USB cable (at which point the SD card will appear as any other USB removeable drive), it is always pretty slow. I would strongly recommend getting a Micro SD card with an SD adapter - and of course a card reader for your PC if you don't already have one. Do major transfers using the SD adapter (more than a Gig of data), and use the USB cable for smaller transfers. You'll want to keep the shuffling of the card to a minimum as it is difficult to get to on the 8320.

BB Curve 8320 OS 4.5 hangs periodically, makes the phone unusable

Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile Curve 8320 running OS 4.5 whcih I updated from the web on my laptop, and installed to the BB device via a USB cable. I also am running the latest BB desktop software, 4.7.
I'm having hanging issues where a clock icon appears on the screen and makes the BB impossible to use for several minutes. This happens several times throughout the day and is very frustrating.
I do not use a media card. I am, however, using Google's synch software for my calendar. I wonder if that's causing the hang.
I went to Options/About and see this:
BlackBerry 8320
smartphone (EDGE, Wi-Fi)
v4.5.0.81 (Platform 2.7.0.78)
Cryptographic Kernel v3.8.5.32a
Micro Edition Configuration: CLDC-1.1
Micro Edition Profile: MIDP-2.0
Micro Edition JTWI Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Media Version: 1.1
Micro Edition PIM Version: 1.0
Micro Edition File Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Bluetooth Version: 1.1
Micro Edition Location Version: 1.0.1
Micro Edition Security and Trust Services (APDU) Version: 1.0
WLAN Version: 2.3.0.74
If you can help me solve this hanging issue, I'd be very grateful.

Low Memory. 4mb file free is severely lacking. You need upwards of 15mb file free.
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free? Now, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot. What is the File Free now?

BlackBerry Curve 8320 : How to setup the Wifi connection like a modem with a laptop.

hello All,
I have a BB Curve 8320 and It's already setup tu use the modem throught my provider : Tethered modem capability
What I ant it's use the Wifi connection like a modem with my Laptop.
Do you know how i can do that.
In advance many thanls and sorry for my poor english.

Instructions for using your BlackBerry as a Tethered Modem can be found here.
You should check with your Carrier before doing this as many charge very high fees for this use without a plan, and it's pretty expensive even with a plan.

Unable to use Curve 8320 with new pay as you go orange sim card

Hey everyone. If someone knows the answer to my dilemma, please help.
My dad just gave me his old Blackberry Curve 8320 Smartphone. He's hardly ever used it and it's been in a draw for a long while, anyway, today I bought an Orange pay-as-you-go sim card for it and having checked the blackberry is all charged up, have now tried it.
No matter what option I pick on (wizard set-up, help, Call Log and all the others), it comes up with on the screen saying:
My number
Then my dad's old number and a six digit number.
I don't know what to do and neither does my dad, so please help and thanks.

Welcome to the forums j9wolf
1. Was the phone previously with Orange? It may be locked to a specific carrier.
2. Can you make calls with the phone even if it shows the wrong number on there?

BB Curve 8320 software problem

I got my BB Curve 8320 today ... everything working well and I've been able to figure things out myself. Amazing!
BUT ... I went into BB Desktop to remove some applications I don't want. Device was plugged in ... this is the error message I got:
"BB Desktop Software does not have BB Device Software for the device that you have connected to computer."
My device says: Platform - 2.5.0.36 and Application - 4.2.2.180
BB DM version: 4.3.0.17
So ... what does all this mean? And what do I have to do to fix it? (I knew everything was going too well!)
Thanks ...

Migrate from Curve 8320 with OS 4.5

How to migrate data from my Curve 8320 with OS4 to Q10 smartphone? BB Link is only for OS5 and above.

Well, there is no problem syncing the contacts and calendar. Unfortunately, the Link software for the BB10 devices does not sync tasks and memos. For that I recommend signing up for Evernote and transferring that data to Evernote. Then you can integrate Evernote as an Account in the Account settings.
Make sure your old device is sync'd up with Outlook.
Then download and install the Link software for the Q10 and set up the sync.
Do you have an email account somewhere? If so, where? GMail? Outlook.com?
