Help blackberry curve 8500

Hi had my phone for about to weeks and the trackpad dont seem to work.  The only problem is all my contacts have been saved to the phone so i cant get my contacts and its for work use. please can someone tell me how i can get my contacts.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

    Go to Solution.

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

    A soft reset may resolve the issues outlined on your post. To perform a soft reset on your phone please follow the instructions below:
    Remove battery with phone ON. Replace battery after 10 seconds. Power phone ON. Allow phone to complete the applications registration.
    Please keep in mind that Smartphones are like computers and from time to time they will stop responding due to multiple factors including the amount of applications running at the same time, the amount of media saved and the amount of memory available, and just like our computers need to be rebooted, our phones need to be rebooted from time to time.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8500/8520, Appworld trouble, please help.

    Right so I downloaded Appworld and I just got my Blackberry on Sunday last (the 11th of September) and I am having some trouble logging into Appworld using my BB ID it comes up with "An error has occurred. Please try again later" I have been trying solidly for two days now and tbh I am getting rather tired of it, I have checked and made painstakingly sure that my email address and password are right but they just wont work, please help, any and all help will be appreciated!

Go to ur time and date settings and make sure they at set to automatic and not manual and that's it believe it or not. Let me know if it works also once u've done it take ur battery out and put it in again to reboot it

  • NEED URGENT HELP-BLACKBERRY CURVE 9300

    Got it like two weeks ago. About a week ago it kept rebooting a lot. Like three days it kept rebooting continuously and viciously often shutting off during rebooting. Today I connected it to my PC, I was upgrading the OS hoping that this would solve the problem but during the upgrade their was an error. It was suggested that I disconnected the blackberry and restart my PC. Did that but now my bb is not even rebooting, it keeps blinking red and is not being recognized by my PC. I don't know what to do and I'm about cry. I am very appreciative of any reply. My device is unlocked and the software is OS5.

    Hmmm..OK...thne you should probably do a clean OS reload.
    At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

    Hi Ludwigsburg, 
    Try these steps:
    From the BlackBerry's main menu, select Options.
    From the Options menu...
    BlackBerry OS 6 and OS 7 users select Device and then select Application Management.
    BlackBerry OS 5 users select Applications.
    BlackBerry OS 4 users select Advanced Options and then select Applications.
    From the Application menu, select Epocrates and press the menu key.
    Select "Edit Permissions."
    Press the menu button and select "Reset Firewall Prompts."

    Press the menu key and select "Save."
    Back out to the Options menu. Select "Security Options."
    Select "Firewall."
    Be sure that Status is set to "Disabled."
    Be sure that none of the boxes under the heading "Block Incoming Messages" are checked. If any are, uncheck them.
    Press the menu key and select "Save."
    Back all the way out of the Options menu, and try the Epocrates update process again.
    Good luck!

  • Help Blackberry Curve 8530 won't join calls!

    Okay so I have the curve 8530 and when I am on a call and another call comes in and I want to conference I can't. I can flash between the calls but add participant only allows me to add call from contact list.  Thanks for the replies.

    The "conference call" option only works if YOU are the one in the middle, so to speak, and initiating the calls to each party. If you are RECEIVING a call, you cannot initiate a conference with someone else from that call.
    You would call person #1, then flash and call person #2, then flash again and all three of you are connected.
    To conference with an INCOMING call, the person calling YOU would have to initiate the three way calling.
    I hope that makes sense....

  • Need help with a Blackberry Curve 9300, please...

    Hello, everyone, I had a look around the forum and came across a post which offered advice one what to include in questions, so I have tried to include the info below. 
    Device info
    Your carrier: Unlocked (was using Virgin)
    Model info and OS version (Go to Settings, then Options, then about): Blackberry Curve 9300, OS 6
    Apps and free space
    File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 60%
    Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
    Apps installed and their version if possible.   (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None, only the ones that come with it after reset to factory
    BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): Don't know what this means
    When writing your question
    Any other details that would help us out with your issue: This was my teenage brother's phone, which since has been given to me. The phone was severely mistreated; thrown around, stepped on and chewed. The battery had to be replaced as well as the middle chassis and the front and back cases along with the keyboard, bottom clip and screen. 
    Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before: I managed to get it working after I had replaced everything listed above, but it will not charge using the cable. I have to keep taking the battery out and plugging it in seperately to charge, then putting back in the phone. This is after replacing the cable as my brother broke that too, so it's not the cable. He's damaged the data/ charge port.
    The camera will not work, but at the moment I am not looking for a solution for that. The error is: "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again". No applications are open and the OS has just been updated to the most recent version. For this reason, I think he's managed to break that too and it would need to be replaced if that's possible.
    My issue at the moment... My mother, as you can imagine is furious with him for trashing the phone she bought him at about £250 when it was new a couple of years ago. So, as I have managed to get it to turn on and pick up wi-fi, she has said I can keep it. I am on Virgin Mobile and this phone is unlocked. It will not pick up any network even using my Virgin SIM card which works fine. My brother was also using it on Virgin.
    I can use it with wi-fi and have already contacted t-mobile and Virgin Mobile to make there there's no problem with them. There isn't. The number has been put under my ownership and the phone registered to me now. It is not blocked or blacklisted, yet, only comes up with SOS for network.
    Because of this, they and the local phone shop think he might have damaged the antenna inside. I am an iPhone user, this is the first time I have used a Blackberry, so I have no idea - can the antenna be repaired by myself? 
    Or, given that the camera doesn't work either/ needs replacing, would it just be better to get a replacement using my contents insurance? I am unsure which would be cheaper, to get the parts and try and fix it myself, or pay the excess for the insurance. 
    Advice appreciated... Thanks in advance.

    Hey MaggzieP,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    This KB article will determine if it is a software or hardware related issue for the camera: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15544
    Also if you tried more than 1 SIM card in the BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone and it still shows SOS, this could be hardware related as well.
    For all repairs, I can only suggest checking with the point of sale or network service provider for further options.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

    thanks  

    Do you have a media card installed? If so, remove the battery while the phone is powered on, remove the media card (leave it out), then reinsert the battery and let the phone fully reboot. See if that makes a difference or not.
