Curve 8330 saves files to device memory

I'm an experienced BlackBerry user and currently have an 8330.  I have a 4GB micro-SD installed and no matter how many times I select to "save media on memory card", after a couple days or some unknown event the device automatically reverts to the "save media in device memory" option.  It seems like a software problem so I want to see if anyone else has had the issue.

Well there are no matching problems in the data base. My thought is to resend service books and refresh the options on the device. The next would be reloading your Device OS.
Thoughts?

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 and Desktop Manager v5.0

    I have a BB curve 8330 running the current device software, BB Desktop manager v5.0 and Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista and have just recently experienced problems syncing.  I continue to get an error message such as below...
    Faulting application DesktopMgr.exe, version 5.0.0.11, time stamp 0x4a4bd539, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03821, exception code 0xc0000374, fault offset 0x000afaf8, process id 0x1dc, application start time 0x01ca41d751046e2b.
    I've tried everything I can think of from reinstalling DTM, previous versions of DTM...getting rid of the "intellisync" folder that others have discussed...scanning my PST and OST files for errors, reconfiguring the sync settings...all with the same result.  Everything is fine until it goes to read the calendar off of outlook and sync it...then it crashes saying the program has to close and windows will notify me if there is a solution....I've even tried running DTM with Vista's "Administrator" option and no dice...
    I'm thinking this is an issue either with DTM or with the latest Vista Update (Windows 7 can't come soon enough!)....anyone else have any other ideas as to what this could be??? 

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    While you have tried many things, I cannot tell if you have tried this...so apologies if it is redundant in any way.
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Memory on Curve 8330?

    General question...what is the hard drive capacity of the Curve 8330?  I can't find the spec anywhere, wondering how much data it can hold.  Appreciate any info you can share!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hello,
    there is no hard drive on modern smartphones. It's a Flash drive.
    On the Curve 8330, the internal memory is written on the specification page for the Curve series : 96MB
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/blackberrycurve8300/curve_specifications.jsp?navId=H0,C221,S2
    the internal memory, also known as the device memory. It has these usages :
    bear the OS (can occupy up to 40MB)
    regular RAM for things to work
    bear all the applications and their datas
    store media files (bad idea)
    on top of that, you have the "media card" : a slot for a microSD / microSDHC card. You can put a card as big as you want, but depending on the version of your OS, your device will see only part of it. There is an article on the public knowledge database about the limits. For a 4.2.2 the limit is 4GB. For a 4.5 it's much much more.

  • 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?

    Hi

    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.

    Trying for hours to import data using switch device manager from old Palm Treo and Palm Desktop 4.2 to my new Blackberry Curve 8330.  Blackberry seem to connect...but second step of choising Palm or Mircrosort will not allow me to select anything.  I do not believe Palm is connecting...Is my palm to old?  If I cannot tranfer data this way, especially contacts is there any other way besides entering it into Blackberry one by one?

  • Exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop: Not Enough Memory To Save File

    Exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop: Not Enough Memory To Save File
    I have plenty of memory (6 GB) and the files I try to export are not very big (some less than 5 MB). Yet, I keep getting the above message: Not Enough Memory To Save File
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks!

    Up-thread, John Joslin mentioned that "memory" is more than RAM. It is RAM, Virtual Memory, Scratch Disk, and is also governed by the allocations for your Adobe programs (in this case).
    The first thing that I would explore is the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File) settings. This ARTICLE might give you some tips.
    Also, see this ARTICLE on setting up a computer for an editing session. It's geared more towards doing video editing, but applies to PS work too.
    Then, go to Edit>Preferences in both PS and AI, and check the allocation of your memory. Too often, people run that up, and then they starve the OS, or any other programs.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Another save for web devices error - File already exists?

    I've been using the same Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 for about a year now, and only now this problem occurs to me.
    Whenever I try to preview gifs in any browser (tried a few), I get the error message "Could not complete this operation. A file by this name already exists."
    Tried renaming the files, replacing them, creating new ones, tried to enter preview on old files that previously worked, but always get the same error message.
    I did some research and tried deleting both the main Save for Web and Devices pref file, and the other so called "hidden one" in the plugins folder. I've tried reinstalling photoshop from scratch. Nothing works.
    Please help me. I'm near desperate :/

    Ah, sorry, now I see what you're doing.
    I haven't had the issue myself, but I can guess that one or more of the temporary files it needs to create in order to show them in your browser must be failing in creation.  Check the permissions on the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable - you should have Full Control of your TEMP area..
    Specifically, it creates a "Save for Web" subfolder there.  You might be able to delete that entirely in order to start afresh.
    Just to test, I've opened Photoshop CS4, entered Save for Web & Devices, and pressed the Preview button myself and it worked okay here...  Your TEMP area is likely different than mine.

  • Not enough memory to save file.

    I am getting this message when I try and export an AI file as .psd file. Illustrator is the only app open on a new 24" iMac running 10.5.4. The illustrator file itself is only about 5 mb. Yet . . .I get the message "Not enough memory to save file." Any thoughts, gang?

    I know this is an old thread, but anyone trying to export large files out of Illustrator CS5 (maybe even CS6 and CC) still face this "not enough memory" challenge.
    To summarize the above comments, this is what worked for me...
    1. Using Windows 7 or Windows 8, and Illustrator CS5
    2. Close Illustrator (if open)
    3. Right click the Illustrator application > Properties > Compatibility (tab)
    4. "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" > Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
    5. "Run this program as an administrator" (optional, but recommended)
    6. Apply (or "OK")
    7. Open Illustrator > Open your Illustrator file
    8. File > Export > (DO NOT CLICK SAVE YET...)
    9. (File Save Dialog Box) > At the bottom of the dialog box, tick to select "Use Artboards" > Range "1"
    10. (name your file) > "Save"
    11. (Photoshop Export Options) > Select color mode > Select Resolution > Select "Flat Image" > Select "Anti-Alias
    12. Click "OK"
    Doing everything above allowed me to save a very large Illustrator file as a 300ppi RGB Photoshop file and avoid the "Not enough memory..." problem.
    I hope this helps, but as usual: your mileage may vary... Shalom!

  • Computer AND Device manger won't recognize Blackberry Curve 8330. .PLEASE Help

    I have tried so many different things. . I am at the end of my rope.  My computer AND the Device Manager won't recognize my Blackberry Curve 8330 anymore.  It use to but then Sprint had me to do a hard reset and it hasn't done it since.  I am running Vista.  I have downloaded all different versions of the Desktop Manager, Blackberry Drivers etc.  I know that the USB works because it recognizes other devices.  Plus when I plug the blackberry in, the little plug shows up for about five seconds and disappears.  Plus when I unplug it and the blackberry screen is dark, it lights up so something is being recognized somewhere.  This is frustrating because I don't have my contacts backed up and I am trying not to do a hard reset to lose them again.  I have tried this on two different computers running Vista and the other XP.  I get the same result with both.  I don't know what happened to make both stop recognizing my blackberry.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Bell as usual is  not being straight to their customers.
    RIM has released OS5 for the carriers. Each carrier decides to test those OS5 and when they are satisfied with the OS, they release it to the public.
    Boost Mobile has released OS5 for 8330 for the public, you can get it here : http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    On the other hand, Bell has not.

  • Can't open picture attachment​s 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

  • 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.

    Yeah wow,  thats alot of stuff  half of which I have no clue what it means .
    Anyways I am aware that my machine is not the best to run Photoshop CS5.1  but it has allways worked well for me until this morning.
    I have tried all the usual stuff .. restarting windows, restarting program, resetting prefs, etc... 
    I have not done an uninstall and reinstall as I hope to find a solution to this problem before resorting to the reinstall.
    Thanks in advance...

    FIXED....
    Strangly enough after the 3rd time deleting prefs it started working........
    Just goes to show.  To err is human, to realy foul things up it takes a computer....
