I have an unknown icon on my Blackberry 8900 curve display...?

The symbol is a black circle with a white arrow pointing South West and a white star in a red background in the top right of the black circle. My key pad is also not working when I want to type a name to go the the number it goes to the short cut of the functions.  Any ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Are your two issues related? Different? The same? I can't tell...
That icon is an indicator from AppWorld of an available update. Go into MyWorld (log in if you have paid apps) and check each app...it will tell you if an update is available. Then, go to Messages and find a message from AppWorld...deal with that (read, delete, etc.) and the icon will then go away.
Cheers!

  • TS3992 I have an unknown Icon on my Ipad mini..screen is locked & will nt let me in.

    I have an unknown icon on my Ipad mini.
    The screen also says
    Cannot Back Up
    This ipad cannot back up to iCloud
    without a verified email address

    Tty a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that clears it then in Settings > iCloud does your account id show correctly ?

  • Install a swedish operating system on my blackberry 8900 curve

    I just bought a blackberry 8900 curve in India. I'm moving back to Sweden in a couple of weeks.
    I have two questions; Does the blackberry 8900 curve support the swedish letters Å, Ä and Ö? Or is it possible to install a swedish operating system on the phone?

    Virtualbox is one of the simpler programs to do so, plus it only costs the Windows license.  Same with Apple's Boot Camp, but it requires using the special Boot Camp partition creator which could result in data loss if you aren't careful.  See my user tip on the many various options available.

  • BlackBerry 8900 Curve - images in Excel

    Hi, I'm a new user with a Curve on Verizon. I am able to download Excel attachments successfully but cannot view photo's that are cut and pasted into Excel pages. This is an important corporate communication issue from offshore, and a co-worker tells me he can view them with his i-phone. I have searched the site and googled the web but did not see a solution except get it changed to a pdf or jpg but this is not an option at this point.

  • Blackberry 8900 Curve

    Hi All,
    I'm new to this site, but love blackberry phones. I need some help though.
    I'm looking into getting a Blackberry curve 8900 in the UK. Will this phone work in the USA?
    Thank you 
    Mark
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, it will.
    Get it unlocked from your carrier in the UK so that you can use while travelling. They should do so for free.

  • BlackBerry 8900 Curve - Message Alert Tone

     Hi, Is there anyway I am able to change the message/email alert tone?
    At the moment the only way I get notified of new mail/sms is buy a very quiet beep and the light flashing.
    Are you able to assign a ringtone to different aspects of receiving new data?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes you can. Just go into Profiles | Advanced. Next click into the "Active" profile. In this next screen you'll be looking at the different categories in which you can modify the ringer/tone settings. So in your case for emails you would go into the "Messages" category and change the Out of Holster, Ring Tone settings.SO for example for Calendar reminders you would edit the Calendar category. For text messages you would edit the SMS Text category.

  • Unknown icon in menu bar

    I have an unknown icon in my menu bar. Ir It looks like two long, downward pointing triangles with a smaller triangle pointing up in the middle. The number 1 appears just to the right of the icon. When I mouse over it, I get the beachball spinning cursor, so I can't find out what it really is.

    I think the problem is in the menubar, not the dock.
    Some things to consider trying:
    What happens when you restart your computer? Same again?
    What happens if you quit SystemUIServer from Activity Monitor?
    (It will relaunch, but maybe without the problem icon.)
    You could try trashing the SystemUIServer preferences in your home directory/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and then restarting SystemUIServer from Activity Monitor.

  • Unknown icon in running applicatio​ns tray

    Good day,
    I sometimes find un unknown icon in my applications tray called menu.  I reboot my phone and the icon disappears.  The last two days I had the exact looking icon but this time it's called Startup2.  Even when I reboot my phone it stays there.  I've gone so far as to downgrade my OS and upgrade again, but it still does not go away.  The icon looks like the icon on the Application folder.  It is square with a thick white line at the top.  Sort of like a "window".  Can you please help me to get rid of this icon?  I don't have a clue what it's for...
    I'm currently running the newest update of OS 6.
    Thank you!

    Sounds like BeBuzz... see the thread here:

  • Curve 9300 - New Unknown Icon next to New Messages Icon

    Evening,
    A new and unknown icon has appeared next to the new messages icon.  It is a white envelope with a black splodge in the centre and a red circle in top right corner.  It is not clear what is in the black splodge or red circle - could be an exclamation mark in the red circle.  The Icons and Indicators guide does not show this one.
    It also does not refere to any messages from any app that I can work out.
    Any clues?

    Hello ColinStone,
    The steps in the following article should help regarding the update icon appearing on your BlackBerry® smartphone screen:
    These same steps will apply in BlackBerry App World™ storefront 3.0.

  • Unknown icon in top menu bar

    I discovered an unknown icon in my top menu bar. It is a blue "S" with a small drawn picture of a guy with brown hair, facing left, in front of it.
    When clicked, it performs no action, it is just sitting there, apparently doing nothing. I cannot seem to find a way to get rid of it, nor does it show any pop-up message. Anybody got ideas?

    I have tried it wih AppZapper and also zapped the last 4 apps I installed . No effect on the icon. The S behind the guy's drawing goes dark blue at startup, and then slightly transparent when fully started. It looks like some activity, but no clue as to what it is. It looks like a virus or something.
    Only thing I can think of is the installation of a Samsung printer driver...

  • PSE7 on XP - My .atn files have no "action" icon. How to fix?

    I have had PSE4 & 7 on my computer for some time, so I uninstalled PSE 4 today.  When I did, I lost the icon associated with all abr, atn, asl and other files (including those that came with PSE).  By suggestion, I have already done the following:  Ran a repair on Adobe Reader thru my "Add/Delete Software" option in Windows XP Control Panel which did nothing.  I uninstalled PSE7 and reinstalled (per suggestion of Adobe rep) which DID fix all the icons (to the best of my knowledge) EXCEPT for the .atn files.  I did the uninstall/reinstall again to no avail.  Any suggestions on how to get my icons back and did the uninstall of PSE4 cause this problem?  Thanks for any info.

    Thank you so much for your response.  I tried your suggestion.  When I did the right click on the file it was considered an unknown file type. I now have the "pse" icon which is better than the generic windows icon (wish I knew if this windows icon had a name or could see it better to describe it).  I would very much like to have the original .atn icon back.  I really felt foolish asking my original question, thinking it must be a simple fix, but based on the number of replies I've received this must be an unusual problem.  Bummer!  Thanks again for your suggestion.  Although it does not "fix" the issue, it may be the best that I can get.  We'll see.

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    See if you have moved them in to a folder?
    Try a simple reset: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Look all over again, and click the menu to SHOW ALL just in case.
