Curve 8900 Bluetooth

Hi

Is there anything else i can do before i take it in.
Thanks
Etienne

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Please see this KB
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
While it discusses transferring between two BB's, the process is the same -- you must set the receiving BB up for receipt before initiating the send from the other device.
Let us know how it goes!

BB Curve 8900 died and will turn on but still has the red "off" sign

Hi all. Great site.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8900 and last night the battery completely drained and I could not connect it to a charger until I arrived at work this morning. I plugged the phone in around 9:00 A.M., and even now at 2:00 P.M. it is still not charged.
Strangely, the phone WILL turn on if connected to the charger, but the radio is still off. The red "OFF" sign is still there on the upper-right corner of the screen.
Is there something I can do to get it to actually charge back to where I can use it?
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
These batteries typically do not like to be fully drained. Sometimes doing so renders them useless. But, there are a few things for you to try before you determine that as the root cause.
1) Get a new known good battery. See if it will charge properly in your BB. If so, then your battery is indeed damaged and useless.
2) Give your battery to another known good BB of the exact same model. See if it will charge properly. If so, then your BB or your charger may be damaged.
3) Try a different known-good charger in a known-good wall outlet. If it will charge now, then you know it to be your charger to be damaged.
These steps will help determine where the root cause is, which will guide you to the actions necessary to remedy the situation.
Good luck!

Z1 bluetooth and network problem after updating to 1.136

Hi,
Last week I updated my phone via PC companion when it notified me a new system update was available. The update took me from Android 4.2.2 to 4.3, and the biuld number is now 14.2.A.1.136.
I use my phone with a SmartWatch 2 all the time, and a SBH20 bluetooth headset in my car. Before the update everything worked fine, but now I have issues with bluetooth connectivity. My SmartWatch 2 randomly disconnects and reconnects to the phone, and so does the headset. In the watch, specifically the Whatsapp notification app by LIS software stopped getting notifications most of the time, although every once in a while it does. The SBH20 also randomly disconnects and sometimes it takes minutes to reconnect by itself. I already unpaired and paired again both devices, even reset the SmartWatch, and the problem persists.
But the most recurrent issue is that the phone repeatedly notifies me to "Sign in to network"... and has problems connecting to the 4G and even to wi-fi networks, meaning that sometimes I don't get any data at all for who knows how long, because it happens randomly.
One thing that seems to me is that every time i lose my bluetooth connections it's because (or at the same time) of whatever happens that triggers the "Sign in to network" notification.
I was really happy of having purchased the whole package of phone, watch and headset, please help me with this.

This is the responses I go from Sony "Customer DON'T Care....." regarding bluetooth issues -
"We can advise Sony Xperia do not test our products with other manufacturer’s devices and so we can not confirm the two devices are compatible.
As the handset has been updated this does indicate it is running different software which means the Bluetooth will have also been updated. Sadly, as Sony Xperia does not test our products with third party Bluetooth devices we will not have been able to foresee the change with your specific device.
We could only suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the device for any further assistance as there is nothing further we could advise.
We do apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
It is not that the software does not work it is the fact that we have updated the bluetooth drivers withing the update you have which no longer makes the bluetooth compatable with your car kit, if you ahve not contacted the car manufacturer already then I would suggest contacting them and seeing if there are any updates needed to the car kit."
Mmmmmm... so it seems that they DO NOT test any O/S upgrades against anything.....
It seems strange that both Samsung(S3 running 4.3) and HTC M* (running 4.4.2) both work perfectly with my car audio system and the "developers" at Sony cant... either that or they just do not care... The smart money is on the latter... My z1 is THE WORST PHONE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF OWNING....

BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time

Hey all
The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night. I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
Try a different power outlet.
Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
Good luck!

Nissan Altima BlueTooth and USB problems

Just picked up my 2010 Nissan Altima with Premium Sound Package (includes BlueTooth and USB). Palm P100EWW on Sprint.
Problem 1) Bluetooth pairs and connects, allows me to make or receive calls. However, it did not download my phone book, so I am not able to call people by saying their names. If I say List Phonebook, it says that there are no entries to list. Help!?
Problem 2) I want to play music via the USB. When I connect my Pre, the car screen says "Check Device" and will not do anything else. Help!?
Thanks in advance,

Mac mini bluetooth and safari problems

I have done research on the boards,and so far haven't found a solution so i decided to make my own discussion.
I have a 2009 mac mini that has run fine until this last month.When comeing out of sleep, the bluetooth magic mouse doesn't work. When i plug in a regular mouse to get me to my destop, everything in the top right toolbar is missing (adobe icon, time machine icon, bluetooth icon, wireless airport bars, and date and time) the search icon is still there, but if you scroll the mouse towards it, i get the not respinding beach ball.... if i go to system preferences, I get the not responding ball of doom as well... If i go to safari, it says i am not connected to the internet, even though when i do a network check, it says everything is up and running, If I go to restart, it just stays on the white screen with the loading circle unil i have to restart by holding in the button.....after the reset, everytihing works fine till i put the computer in sleep again (or logout of my name) .......
I read that there are bluetooth problems with the mac mini of 2009, but this kind of sounds like more than that.. this hasn't happened before until i updated to LION... but sometimes it sounds like the mini is making a faint "squeaking" sound when it is trying to process things.. this doesn't happen often though... the mini is only 2 years old,almost 3, i can't imigine it dying soo soon... any ideas??? any help would be appreciated... thanks-bruce

problem solved. Replaced key board, mousse and changed brands of USB bluetooth adaptor, which is now a D-Link brand I bought from an Apple store. Works like a champ.

Bluetooth and Wifi Problem

Hi.
I have a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Bluetooth Apple keyboard (not the new thin one). When I have them linked with my MBP the wireless will randomly stop working until I disable Airport in the menu bar and then re enable it. When I don't have the bluetooth devices connected this is not a problem at all. The router I am using is a wireless g router. Is there maybe something wrong with my laptop?
Thanks for your help.

CS3 and Vista problems

A few days ago I bought a new PC with Vista (MEDION® AKOYA® P36830
Authentieke Windows® Vista® Home Premium, AMD Phenom X4 9500 Quad Core (2,2 GHz), NVIDIA® GeForce 9600GT, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 500 GB Hard Disk).
Since I will use this PC for my graphical work I tried to install a trial version of Photoshop CS3.
But... I can't even install the program on the PC !
The setup starts but nothing happens anymore.
In the Task Manager I can see that the process is running but that is all.
I've tried to change the priority of the process to higher and lower with it wont install.
I have read the Tech Note: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400950&sliceId=1 but even switching the RAM modules won't work.
Furthermore: NOT ONE ADOBE programm will install on this PC ! I have tried: Acrobat, Dreamweaver, InDesign...
Please what more can I do to get PS CS3 working before I buy the complete package ?
Sincere thanks !
Lambert

Lambert: There is a notice about the trial downloads on the opening page to the forums. EG: Don't do it right now.
Having said that, I'm running all the programs you are trying to install on Vista without a hitch. Doesn't solve your problem, but maybe something else is the problem.
What permissions do you have? Does your account have 'administrative'?

External Drive and Vista problems

I recently got an external drive with the intentions of keeping my iTunes library on it. So far I have had nothing but problems. In the advance prefs. I set the music folder location to my external drive. To test it, I would rip a CD to iTunes (which is installed on the C drive). Sure enough, the library would be in the folder that I designated it in the ex. drive. My problem is that when I open iTunes, it creates a folder under Music on the C drive which contains the library with the ripped CD. Whats the point of putting it on an ex. drive if it automatically puts it in a folder on my computer? Its frustrating because I set the path of the library to my ex. drive. Why is it also putting a copy of the library on my computer under a music folder? Is it a "Vista" thing or an iTunes problem? I need to get this sorted out because I would eventually like to put my whole library (backed up onto discs) into the library only on my external drive before I purchase a new iPod soon. I dont want any music on my C drive because I need the space.

You know what? I figured this out myself the next day with a solution that I haven't seen anywhere else. I understood all the operations of consolidating libraries to seperate drives, but what was creating the problem was vista's fantastic ability to stick anything ripped into the owner/music folder despite where the library path is pointed. The answer was so obvious and simple. I went into the advanced prefs. and changed the library path back to the default owner/music folder. Then I right clicked the owner/music short cut in the start menu, selected properties and made the whole "my music" folder located on the external drive. Now when I plug in my external drive and open windows, the library is pulled from the music folder on the external drive and runs like normal. When I remove the drive and open iTunes, it gives me an error that the library cant be found. When I right click properties on the music icon in the start menu, it says it takes up zero bytes, which is exactly what I want. Its funny how I utilized the problem to get what I wanted.

Bluetooth and sound problem since upgrading to 10.9.1

Since upgrading to 10.9.1 I often have an issue with losing my sound. The only way I can restore it is to restart. It gets annoying to have to keep doing that. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Also, when I connect to my bluetooth speaker I have no sound (restarting the computer doesn't resolve this).

Addendum to my previous question....the problem started when I upgraded to Mavericks - not just the 10.9.1 upgrade. Can anyone help?

Blackberry Curve 8900 buttons and keypad not working!

I had it in the bathroom while taking a shower, and I got a few drops of water on it while drying my hair.
Now it turns on, but won't let me unlock it or press any buttons on the keypad.
What do I do?!

Immediately pull the battery and keep it out!
Place your Curve in a container of UNCOOKED rice. Leave the lid off. Leave the Curve alone for five days, yes days.
Avoid temptation to pull it out and insert the battery to see if it functions.
The rice is a dessicant in that it will absorb moisture. You want the battery out so as to avoid shorting out the circutry. That will surely firy things beyond repair.
Alternately or following the five days set it on top of a heat emiting source (low temp dry heat) such as a TV cable box. Or on a interior window sill that gets the sun's rays for a long period (somewhat of a push during the winter)
On the dashboard of your car on sunny days.
The idea is to remove the water. Following the above steps are not guaranteed however they are known to have worked for others.
If you follow the steps and your device still does not work it is time for a visit to your service provider. Hopefully you have insurance as it will cover water damage while it is not covered under warranty.
