Curve 8330 Custom Notifications

Hello all. New Blackberry user here. Just got the unit yesterday and spent a few hours trying to get everything set up.
The problem I am having is trying to get my custom notifications to work with my contacts.
Ok, so here we go:
Sender A sends me a text or e-mail, and I want lets say Notifier_ChiGong as the sound for them.
Sender B sends me a text or e-mail, and I want lets say Sound A on my media card to play for them.
Now, I want all other texts and e-mails from everyone else (on or not on my contact lists) to play lets say Sound B on my media card to play for these.
When I receive a voice mail notification, I would like a completely diffrent sound, lets say Sound C from my media card to play for this one.
I have tried setting up the excpetions and all that but nothing works...All texts emails and voicemail notifications plays the same sound, Sound B.
I have searched the forums, but I can't figure this thing out for the life of me. Everything else is coming to me as I keep playing with this unit. I also spent 2 hours last night manually entering my contacts into this unit, since my previous phone was not a smartphone, and I did not want to synch into my e-mail software and destroy my many various contact lists...
Andy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I copied and pasted the post below.
It is complicated for SMS tones, but possible. Follow the directions here:
This workaround will allow you to have specific alerts for email and messages from specific senders:
(Works with OS 4.2 and above)
1. Go to Profiles on your BlackBerry and create a new custom profile, naming it the name of your targeted sender.
2. Edit and change the Messages, Level 1 Messages, MMS, Phone and SMS notifications for this profile to the custom ringtones you prefer for this contact. Don't worry about changing things like Calendar, Messenger Alerts and Tasks don't matter for individual users.
3. Once all of your ringtone settings are set for the new custom profile, save the changes. Now you will be back to your Profiles list and will see your custom profile listed there with the standard ones.
4. Now wheel click and select New Exception.
5. Title the exception whatever you want (would be smart to name it again the name of that particular contact).
6. In the FROM line, click the trackwheel or trackball and select the user from your address book. They should now show in your From line.
7. Scroll down and change the Use Profile option from Active Profile to your newly created custom group.
8. You may remove the check box from "Custom Phone Tune" if you already have a custom phone tune for this contact, or leave it and set it in the new custom profile as well.
9. Save the changes.
Now once you have followed these for each SMS contact - click save as number nine says. Go back to your profile and click either normal or loud for the profile sound. Make sure you do not have any exceptions already in your exception area regarding the ones you have made a SMS tone for. if you do, remove them so you SMS tone will work. You can actually set your ringtones under each one of these you set up as well. When you are changing your SMS sounds, you can click on phone and change your ringtone to that specific one. Hope you can understand this.
All of us will be more than happy to help you, just let us know!
Have a great day and good luck. Enjoy your blackberry!

Facebook 2.0 Upgrade on Curve 8330 Problems.

I've got a Blackberry Curve, 8330 (v4.5.0.191) (Platform 3.4.0.62), currently have Facebook 1.9.0.28 installed, running fine. I've gotten a notification saying Facebook 2.0 is available, but I cannot download it for some reason. I go to the "Options" setting within Facebook, "Check for Upgrade," get a notification saying there's one available, etc. Click the "Yes" button to perform the update, which opens the BlackBerry Browser. The page ends up being blank. The page address is
http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/mobileapps/facebook/static/index_redirect.shtml
Have tried various emulation modes with the BlackBerry browser, as well as trying to get -somewhere- using Opera, which is also installed on my phone with no avail. I have no cord to sync my phone to my computer and do it that way, as I moved and a few things were misplaced.
I've gone through the Blackberry App World, although it shows that the newest version is 1.9.0.28, even though I know there was a recent release. My phone is entirely up to date, as far as OS and everything else goes.
Is there a place I could download the .jar/.jad file directly? or is there a fix for this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Same with mine.
Apprently there's a new OS release for the 8330 (v5.0.0.438), although not released through all carriers. My phone is "Up to date" according to the over-the-air Wireless Update in the settings thinger (I use Verizon), but this is installable. I personally have issues getting the Loader.exe to work , but you may have better luck. Have a gander at this thread-

Blackberry Curve 8330 (Facebook Push Notification Settings) Please Help

I have a BB Curve 8330. I received a warranty replacment two days ago. I installed the Facebook application and I am not receiving push notifications to the Facebook App on the Blackberry.
The thing is, I used to receive push notifications to the FB App on my original 8330 Phone. I looked at all my Settings on Facebook.com, And Installed Facebook App for Blackberry.
Could anyone please help me out? My Friend has a BOLD and he was receiving notifications instantly to his Facebook App on his BB Bold, while I was not. And we even compared settings and they matched, I am getting e-mail notifications to my account so I am receiving the notifications, just not thru the Facebook App on the phone......what gives?
I did a Hard reset, and reinstalled my Facebook Application to the phone.
HELP Please!
I figured it out. The email address associated with my facebook was not setup on the Blackberry. Facebook e-mails my acocunt then that pushes to the Facebook App on the Phone.

Having trouble loading pics to facebook from Curve 8330

Is anyone else having trouble loading pictures to facebook from their Curve 8330? I have had my phone for approximately a year and a half and have had no issues loading pics to facebook up until I received the most recent notification that there was a newer version of facebook for blackberry. Ever since I loaded the newest version I have had nothing but problems trying to load pictures to facebook. I have attempted to load approximately 100 pictures and 3 or 4 have successfully loaded. The rest I get an error message indicating there was an error uploading the photo. I am getting very frustrated as there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it loads the photo's it does!? Just this morning I went out to my photo's on my blackberry and hit the "SEND TO FACEBOOK" option and that picture loaded, so immediately after that I tried to load two more and they failed? I have no trouble posting to facebook or replying to other posts or even commenting on photo's from my blackberry but for the life of me can't get photo's to load consistently! I have been loading pics with no issues since I've had the phone so I don't understand why now I am having nothing but issues! HELP.........PLEASE...........AND THANKS! Carrier is verizon, not sure if it matters?

You are not alone.

Curve 8330 has sound in all but phone calls....need options

Got a blackberry curve 8330 that will produce sounds for videos, music and other media but, when calling or receiving calls, there's not sound at all. Tried the tried and true battery pull and an OS update but, neither were successful. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Thanks!

Hi bhamnite and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Are you still experiencing the issue with your incoming call alert?
Are you using a custom ringtone or one of the device defaults?
You can check the profile settings by going to:
Profiles -> Advanced -> select the current profile which will be identified by active in brackets -> Phone
You want to check to make sure “Out of Holster” is set to Tone and “Volume” is not set to mute.
Thanks and have a great day!

BlackBerry Curve 8330 Sound Problems...HELP!!!

Okay I just got my BlackBerry Curve 8330 about 2-3 weeks ago and it's great. But yesterday I noticed that the notification tones for the sound profiles aren't working I've checked them to make sure it's not on mute or turned off, and they weren't. And when I went into the media thing and went to go listen to the ringtones, they wouldn't even play. I don't know what's wrong with it, I've tried looking at the help thing in my BlackBerry, but it doesn't help. Also I don't have internet on my BlackBerry so that can't be a cause. Can anyone please help me and tell me what's going on with my BlackBerry and help me fix it?

Does it happen 3 times a day?
I do a pull once a week just for maintenance. Like a PC you can have fragmented memory, temp files, open files from rouge apps, etc and doing a battery pull resets them.

Can't open picture attachments on BlackBerry Curve 8330

I just traded my Pearl 8130 for the Curve 8330 yesterday. While I think I made the right decision, I'm a little annoyed by the fact that for the most part, I can't open email attachments. Keep in mind, this is when I actually use the Internet Browser to access my various accounts. In other words, I'm actually going to www.gmail.com and www.hotmail.com. When I get into my Hotmail, it'll show the paper clip signifying an attachment but won't give me any sort of option to open it. It just lists the file name(s) and that's it. When I go into my gmail, if I've got an email that only contains one or two pictures it'll usually open those. But any more than that and it's the same deal with Hotmail, except that it'll actually have the "6 Attachments" link that I can actually click, but when I do it just lists the file names in regular type and there's no option whatsoever to open them. It doesn't open any kind of thumbnail either.
It's kind of a bummer to me because I have a lot of saved pictures in my email accounts that I'd like to save on my phone as well. If all BlackBerrys are like that, I'll just deal with it and shut up. When I get email attachments in the accounts I've set up to go directly to my BlackBerry I can always open them, so maybe this is just normal for BlackBerrys. But if mine is actually having a problem I'd really like to get it fixed. If that's the case, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I already resent Service Books and took the battery out and put it back in. That's all I've tried so far. If all else fails I can just take it in to Alltel to have it looked at but it'd be nice to avoid having to do that. I know there are other ways to go about this... I can always just manually move them to my phone's memory card from the computer and stuff. Getting them directly from my email would just be a little quicker.
Thanks, everyone!

Blackberry browser isnt exactly the same as a browser on your PC. It has limitations, such as sizes. when you added the email to your BIS account its now mail on your device which is the primary function of a blackberry. when using BIS or BES emails, they are designed to truncate if too big, but if you wish to look at more it gives you that option. www.hotmail.com is not designed to accomodate blackberry. Your best option is to stay to the BIS email option.
Not to mention it uses less of your data bandwidth to use BIS email rather than browsing to www.hotmail.com

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

Curve 8330 not being recognized by the Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager . . .

I just downloaded the Mac version of BDM. It's a long time coming, but I'm glad that it works. I have a Pearl that was easily recognized by the software and easily synced with all my data. However, I also have a Curve 8330 that will not sync. In fact, when plugged into the USB port, the BDM doesn't even see that the 8330 is plugged in, it still sits there asking, "To beging, connect your device to your Mac using the supplied USB cable."
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.
UPJ

I would suggest, first off, rebooting the Curve.
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

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)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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!
Thanks,

How to make fields mandatory in Message Address for Custom Notification.

Hi Experts,
We have created a new custom Notification Type and we were in the process of configuring it. I want to know, if I want to make a few fields obligatory in Message Address, can that be achieved through configurations. I am basically an ABAPer so please pardon my ignorance if the question looks basic.
In our implementation, I have seen different Work Orders with different mandatory fields in Message Addresses. I hope the same is achievable for notification as well.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Subhrangsu

There are 2 ways to make any Notification filed mandatory.
1. Configuration route:
Here Under Plant Maintenance->Maintenance and Service Processing>Maintenance & Service Notifications>Notification Creation>Notification types> Set Field selection for Notifications:
You select influencing button and your notification type then select the Radio button under Required column (against the
field you want to make mandatory)
2. User Exit Route: Through SMOD -->User Exit QQMA0014 -->Cutsomer Exit EXIT_SAPMIWO0_020 -->Include ZXQQMU20.
Then put your code in this include.
Code Sample:
IF I_VIQMEL-QMART= 'AC'.
IF T_VIQMSM-MNGRP IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE ID 'IW' TYPE 'I' NUMBER 464 WITH 'Tasks'.
RAISE EXIT_FROM_SAVE.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
(The above Code makes the 'Tasks' filling mandatory in the Notification type 'AC')
Hope this answers your query.
Regards

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.

10.3.1 Update - custom notifications still broken

I have a z10 and since I purchased it over a year ago, my custom notifications set for contacts for text messages are ignored.
Whenever a text message comes in, the phone plays the default tone not the custom tone I have set for that user. The other custom tones work (for BBM and phonecalls).
This has been several updates and this function - included in the original rollout of BB10 - has never worked.
Any one have any solutions or explanations.
(Please, do not recommend I buy an app for a feature that I paid for with the included OS. I am asking for solutions to the problem in OS 10.3.1. Thank you.)

Nor do I have any way to know which is causal...at an internet distance, all I can do is try to evaluate what you say and make sense of it. If the OS isn't working correctly for you, then it is possible that the version you are now on is somehow corrupt. Or perhaps that the update process itself caused error. Both are possible, but we can't really tell you which it is (if either, for that matter).
So, what I would suggest is a very clean OS reload, and not do any restore from backup unless and until you find a version that works as you expect. You can use LINK to reload what your carrier has approved, or you can use AutoLoader to load any version that you desire.
Good luck and let us know!
