Was it there before and just went missing? If you change to different theme (Options | Theme) is it still missing.
Try reregistering the device by going into Options | Advanced Options | Host Routing Table. Select the bold entry, hit the menu key and select Register Now. That should send a registration message from your carrier to the device. Afterwards try removing the battery for 30 seconds.

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!

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,

IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

Bridge Browser icon missing after the upgrade to OS2

I have suddenly realised that the Bridge Browser icon has been missing from my PlayBook after the Upgrade to OS2. My service provider data plan supports browsing and I use to do that earlier on OS1. Now a days, since I am mainly using Mifi device...did not use Bridge Browser....BUT suddenly realised that this icon is missing.....
Any idea what I need to do to get that icon back on PlayBook? and also use it....

It's really funny...The OS2 manual says that there will be an icon for Bridge Browser....but in reality...you do not require any separate bridge browser icon...Browser main icon works for both...wifi connection as well as bridge connection....
I am surprised, why RIM has not highlighted this fact in its OS2 manual.....
Anyways....my problem is resolved....

Bridge Browser icon missing - even though connected on BES

The Bridge Browser icon has disappeared off my Playbook.
Before you tell me it's OS2 it's not - the Playbook is connected to a BES smartphone, and I've had OS2 since I first got the Playbook and it's only now that the icon has gone.
I've tried a reset, I've tried re-pairing the tablet and the phone. All the other Bridge icons are there and the tablet is fuctioning normally other than this.
Any help is much appreciated.

Image Button file browser icon missing

Hi there, I've been using C5 this week for the 1st time and have been working through a project. All has gone ok to date, a few niggles along the way but I've run into a huge bug this morning which is wrecking my plan to finish the project.
I'm adding an image button to a slide and have found to my frustration that the file browser in Properties has vanished, pushed out past the properties block, which of course cannot be resized to the right (thanks Adobe, nice UI design there). This means I can't choose any image for my button apart from those already loaded in the preview which is utterly useless. I've attached a screenshot to show what it looks like.
As you can see the Image Button drop down has gone very wide and pushed the folder browser icon out of sight. Simply maddening!
I had been using image buttons all week with out any issues. Yesterday an update appeared (5.0.1.624) for C5 so I applied it. Then this issue started. I have since uninstalled C5 and reinstalled without applying the update and its still doing it. What I didn't do was reboot after the uninstall, maybe I should have done...
Anybody else come across this? if it is a bug its a crippling one!!!!

Hi Niall-Mac and KiHwa -
This is indeed a CP bug!!! We found this some months ago - it turns out that if you name your button images with a very long file name (35-40 characters plus), it slowly starts pushing the "browse" folder icon further and further to the right of the panel. Add a few more buttons with longer file names to the gallery and eventually it disappears altogether, like you both have encountered (see image).
Workaround 1 (best practice IMO until CP dev team fixes this):
We started creating buttons in a separate CP file, creatively named "projectName_buttons" - this way any time we need a button we go to this file and copy/paste it into our project and we never have to mess with the button gallery in our working (source) file. If the "browse" icon disappears again in our buttons file, we simply copy all our buttons from our "project_buttons" file into a new blank project and save over the old (broken) one.
Workaround 2 (not so user-friendly):
1. Stretch your timeline panel as wide as it can go on your monitor (I use two 21" monitors to develop so I can make my timeline rather long)
2. Undock the properties panel so that it is a floating window
3. Drag the properties panel by the topmost dark gray bar just above the "Properties" tab and place it just below the timeline until it snaps into place - now don't let go of it just yet, drag it up a tiny bit further - as you do this a blue bar will appear signifying that it will dock to that position (underneath the timeline) - when you dock it to the timeline it will stretch to the same length as the timeline and voila, you can now see the "browse" icon - however, who wants a properties panel that takes up your whole monitor!!!! I certainly don't.....
On a side note, it is very disheartening that once buttons are in the button gallery you have NO CONTROL over them - if they need to be edited you are forced to rename them so you can import a fresh button. This method unnecessarily creates TWO copies of a button in your gallery - the more edits you make to a button the more copies of that button you get in your gallery....some control over the button gallery would be nice.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Blackberry Browser Icon Missing, NOTHING helped...

Hey guys, I got my blackberry Pearl 8100 for quite some time now, but for some weeks now I got some Problem I wanna fix right now.
Since I never wanted to use my blackberry browser I didnt even realise its icon was gone, but now I do and I want it back...
I've tried different solutions offered in other threads (resend service book, reregister HRT Host Routing Table and even pull out the power cell while it was turned on and leave it out for at least 30 seconds)
Nothing helped, the Icon is not showing up, not at the Theme Im using where it should be at the home screen and not even in the menu.
I can only start the browser while doing this in the main menu: switch application and then chose the browser.
Ive found something which could at least help to help me, when Im at Options under the Blackberry Browser, then go to advanced options and then under default browser I cannot chose anything at all. Just Empty...
Since the Browser is installed there must be some kind of solution to bring the Icon back, but I dont know how...
On the Home Screen at my Today & Zen Theme there is just an empty place now where the BB Browser Icon should be...
Thanks a lot for your help!

So the icon isn't hidden?
Does it show the IPPP service book is listed?
Does the Browser show as being installed under Options | Advanced Options | Applications?

Browser Icon missing

I do nto have the Browser Icon on my 8700 desktop.. does it need to be installed ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you do happen to have a data plan and it's still not working, try the following:
Go to options > advanced options > host routing table > click in on your trackwheel > select register now
This should provision your data services.

Home screen Browser icon

I have had my Verizon BB Curve (8330) for about 6 months - all of a sudden my home screen displayed a "Browser" tiny icon - the globe so it looks the same as my Browser icon - with a "1" by it -
Does anyone know what this is - or how to clear it? Thanks

That would be a browser message. Go into your message icon and hit the menu key. Select view folder and then select browser messages. And that should do it.

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

Update to Device Software 5.0 on Curve 8330

RIM sent me an e-mail today inviting me to upgrade my Sprint Curve 8330 to Device Software 5.0. In the past, this wasn't available on Sprint devices. My computer is a Mac, so I connected to Blackberry Desktop Manager and it said that there are no upgrades available. Am I able to upgrade my device software?

Same experience with me. Carrier is Bell Mobility. I think BlackBerry has missed a step somewhere. Mine says same message "no updates available" and takes me back to reference v4.5 which is my current OS.
Check the FULL OS version. 4.5 on its own is meaningless. Options > About 3rd line will show the full version on your device. For example, mine shows v5.0.0.681.
Then find your carriers' latest offering from here
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and compare the two.
There is nothing preventing you upgrading to a newer version from a different carrier providing you navigate to the downloaded OS on computer C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader and delete the file vendor.xml.

Can't get Desktop Software to link up with Curve 8330

All the following is from running Win XP in VirtualBox.
When I hook up my Curve 8330 to the computer via USB the computer recognizes it: I'm asked to enter the Cuve's password, the Blackberry Device Manager pops up in the task bar to tell me that the Curve is connected and I can even browse the device via Explorer, but when I open the Blackberry Desktop Software (6.1.0.35) it just endlessly says it's "Connecting" without ever actually connecting. Also, when I hook it up, the Curve's screen very briefly goes to the white "Connected to Desktop" splash before returning to normal. Mass storage mode is turned on.
Please, if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated; I've had some close calls recently and need to backup my numbers and data. I can't find any posts with people having similar problems.
Curve 8330

Hello Atimkelly,
First check your default services on the device under Options, Device, Advanced System Settings, default services.
If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this article http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
