Hey BaByPaW1990,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
You can get your APN settings from your network service provider, also make sure you have a BlackBerry data plan.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

My internet settings for blackberry curve

i have a blackberry curve 9520 i have been having internet problems so i contacted vodafone the man said try and reset your internet settings , the problem is i dont know how to do this can you help?

Hello!!
And you let him get away with that? Really? You PAY them for your support, and they didn't provide it to you.
My guess...
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull 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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then should contact your mobile service provider for formal support...and this time don't let them fob you off so easily.
Good luck!

I need help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520

I nee d help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520 everytime i go here in blackberry site and check for update my phone it says try again.. and no updates for your software, how is that? I have v4.6 please help meee

You do, for sure, have your BB data plan active and are able to get email, etc.?
That is required for updating to OS 5.0.
If the OS you downloaded is not specifically for the carrier that is branded on the device you will need to install the OS to the computer and then when you're done, delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader.
Then after you delete that, in that same apploader folder, is a file called Loader.exe. Double click that to install the OS to your device.

Settings for prepaid Curve 8520

Hello,
I am using a Blackberry Curve 8520 in Germany. My provider is ALDI Talk (which uses the network of E-Plus).
I have a prepaid option with internet package (a Blackberry option is not offered).
My problem is that I can only use the explorer for internet. All apps (such as Whatsapp, Facebook App) are not connecting to the internet.
The ALDI Talk support told me that it is possible to make the apps work, however are they not allowed to tell me the specific settings. I should ask Blackberry Support for this as it is a complicated matter.
Please, can anyone tell me, how to get my apps work with prepaid tarif!
Thank you, I will be glad to give more information if necessary!

You need a Blackberry Data Plan in order to use these apps, so if your current carrier does not offer a Blackberry Data Plan you may want to look at moving carrier,

Hey bbgod,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If this BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphoneis from a different provider, you can only update to the latest version from that provider.
You can check for updates by going to www.blackberry.com/update
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Help with print settings for Panoramas

Hi,
I use an Epson 2880 and I am trying to figure out the print settings for doing an 11 x 34in panorama print on 13" roll paper from Aperture 3.0.3. I finally got it to do one print properly, but the setup was totally counter intuitive and I can't reproduce it. I tried using "Custom" Paper size and setting it to 13" x 36", then using the landscape mode and setting the Image Size to 11 x 34". Any way I did this ended up with the image printing the wrong way on the paper. So I went back and picked "Roll" paper. This leaves only one field to fill in, which I presume is the paper width (it really didn't make this obvious in the dialogue.). Then I set the mode to Portrait, and made sure that the settings for the Image size were 11 x 34. It then printed fine. But when I went back to print another file, even though I had saved the settings, now I am presented with only one box for specifying the Image Size and there is no way to get it right again. HELP! The settings for this kind of print in Photoshop is also counterintuitive, but when you get it set right, and you know the settings, no problem reproducing it. I think maybe there is a bug in AP3 with regard to this sort of setup.

WiFi for Blackberry Curve 8520?

For the longest time, I have been trying to figure out how to get the WiFi option to work on my Blackberry. I have tried to set everything up according to different forums and seeing if it would help, but nothing seems to be working. It always seems to refer me back to the settings/options. Can anyone help with my problem?
Anything would be greatly appreciated

Hi Vivian, Internet by wifi on blackberry is a miracle to work. Some routers (I think a lot of..) don't work with blackberry.. but.. the true is.. blackberry wants that you pay data plan service.. but try do this:
1. go to mobile service . .active data plan menu.. if you don't do this you never get IP address from DHCP server from wifi router
2. try again to connect the wfifi network

Help with FMLE Settings for Sports Broadcast

Hello,
I am in need of some help tweaking my settings in FMLE. I put on various sports broadcasts, but one of my clients has limited bandwidth (avg ~2.5-3mbps upload).
I'd like to keep the output pixel size at 640x360 so that it takes up our entire player and doesn't letter box it, but with the larger video size I sometimes run in to either buffering,or pixelated video depending on how the bandwidth is that particular day. I'd like to stream between 800k-1000k.
I am using VP6 codec and using an Osprey Card as my capture device.
Some of my questions are:
1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window. Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data. Same with Datarate Window. Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function. Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit? If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
4)Should I deinterlace my video? We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher. Everything is analog SD.
I am able to drop by bitrate down to 600K and the stream does not buffer, but it starts to get pixelated. I would think that 3mbps upload bandwidth is enough to stream at 800k. Any help adjusting my settings to shapen the imagine would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
--> Always capture at the same size, unless the device/card doesn't support that size.
2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window. Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data. Same with Datarate Window. Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
--> Data rate window is useful for unexpected source data that might not encode well within the specified bit-rates. For example, if you set data rate window to "tiny" and a complex frame (source data) arrives, then encoder will not allocate some extra bits to encode that frame in good quality. But if you set the window to huge, then that complex frame will be encoded in good quality by allocating more bits to it. So, basically, the "delta" around the specified bit-rate increases on moving from "tiny" to "huge" data rate window. Your output bit-rate will vary more in case of "huge" setting.
3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function. Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit? If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
--> I can explain the difference between the 2 options and you can experiment with both and stick to one, which gives a better user experience under your bandwidth conditions.
a. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Drop frames option will intelligently drop some frames. As a result of this, you might observe video stalling depending upon the severity of the bandwidth conditions.
b. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Degrade quality option with a min. video bit-rate value of say 500 kbps will try to encode all the frames within this 500 kbps limit. As you are reducing the bit-rate from the original value of say 800 kbps, the quality is bound to degrade. If you check the "preserve per frame quality" option then the encoder will encode >=50% of the frames within the specified bit-rate of 500 kbps. As the no. of frames are less the per frame quality will be better than the previous case. There is a possiblity that even after degrading quality, the buffer is exceeding the given limit then the degrade quality option will automatically switch to the drop frames option.
4)Should I deinterlace my video? We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher. Everything is analog SD.
--> Deinterlace option is only available for video sizes >= 640x480.

Help with PAL settings for Sequence

Hi –
I’m having some issues with a PAL project and need some help with the right sequence settings. I have 3 camera angles that are all PAL that I am trying to edit together in a multi-clip sequence and everytime I add anything to the timeline I am getting the red render bar. I've tried all different PAL settings but nothing is working. Here are the specs of the DV clips:
Frame Size : 720 X 576
Vid Rate – 25 FPS
Compressor DV-PAL
Data Rate – 6.9mb/sec
Pixel Aspect – PAL – CCIR-601
Audio 48Khz
Aud Format – 32bit – Floating Point.

From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. What setting is selected there?
From the menu bar: Sequence > Settings. What setting is selected there?
In both cases they should be set to DV PAL.

Help please: I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 and I am unable to log into Blackberry Internet Services

and I am having problems in receiving my emails, it says that I have to reset my password. When I try and log in it says: username/password incorrect.
Have requested the password to be sent to my device, which I have now received but still unable to log in....not sure if I am using the correct username. Have been trying for days to obtain a reply from my provider (virgin) but they are unable to help.
does anyone know how I can retrieve my username?   plz plz plz....I am going mad!
thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sadly, the only place to retrieve the information you need is from your carrier. Request escalation from their initial level 1 support up to their dedicated BB support staff.
Good luck!

I'm having trouble with WiFi on my Blackberry Curve 8520?

I am currently using a Blackberry 8520 Curve, and I am using it without a data plan. So, I use internet by using WiFi.
However, I have found that when I am using internet it will often display 'Unable to find the requested server'. The browser is set to Hotspot, and connections on other devices such as laptop work fine.
The only way I can get internet working again is to go to 'Manage Connections', and switch WiFi off and then back on again. Only then does it start working. If I leave WiFi switched on, the connection eventually times out.
Has anyone else had this problem and how can it be fixed?

Ok, you did.
Then try this, delete the WiFi profile for you router, do a simple reboot (With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot) and then set up the router again.
Give it a few days and see how it worksl
