  • Curve 8330 SMS/MMS not forwarding..PLEASE HELP!

    Hello...I have had my new Curve 8330, software version 4.5.0.77 for about 3 weeks and I am unable to forward any SMS/MMS messages that I receive.  After I read the message, I click on the berry or the center scroll button and click on forward and nothing happens.  It just stays on the message and does not go to my contacts so I can choose who to forward it to.  I've even tried going out of the actual message to my message list and choosing it that way and it still does not forward.  I can forward email messages though?  I thought maybe I needed a software upgrade, but apparently I have the current version?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks! smileyhappy:

    What happens if you change the SMS and MMS setting to combine them back into your Messages list. Does it still look the same?
    In the extreme case we could always clear the Messages database and see if new ones from that point are behaving the same way.

    Hi All
    I am using a lot of <div> tags on my jsp page to be displayed on Curve 8330 I am getting unnecessary white space after the last <div> tag . I have tried to set <div> and <body> tag style attributes like padding and margins to "0px" but with no luck.

    Hi,
    File to Idoc and Idoc used is ORDERS05.
    Is IDOC occurence on target side is unbounded or 0..1???
    If multiple occurence means then u need to change the IDOC structure, just change the occurence to o.unbounded.
    Whenvever i am opening the payload with notepad i am able to see the space as 70th character and whenever i am checking the XML the space has been truncated for same.
    I understand from above that the payload is correct with 70th character is space , but when u see the XML Payload in moni, the size is less or the white spaces are trimmed out.
    So u neeed to add extra attribute on sender FCC
    node.fieldContentFormatting  nothing
    by default it is trim u need to change as nothing..
    Let us know the result

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 (sprint) only revievestext messages from sprint customers

    I just got my first blackberry yesterday, its Sprint's Curve 8330, I have no problem texting back and forth between other sprint users, and all other users can recieve my messages, but when they text me back, the text never comes through to my phone.
    HELP! 

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Since SMS/MMS are a carrier-provided function via your voice services with them, I'd suggest contacting them for assistance since it is most likely an issue with their provisioning of you on their network.
    Unless you are using BBMessenger...in which case it would be different...
    Good luck and let us know!

  • My New Curve 8330! (few questions from a noob!)

    So I finally got the Curve 8330 - I had been waiting all this time for the Thunder but decided yesterday that if my fingers are too fat for an iPhone, then they will be for the Thunder as well. Anyways, I LOVE the Curve thus far...just a few questions.
    #1) Do the "messages" and "[email protected]" icon serve the same purpose? If so, which I think they do, how do I filter the "messages" icon so that ONLY my incoming SMS messages are shown??? As of now, the "messages" icon is cluttered with e-mail, SMS, bb mesanger & voicemail! I HATE THAT! I'd rather keep it clean and organized so that If i wanna view my SMS messages, I click on "messages" If I wanna view my bb messanger messages, I click on the bb messanger icon, If i wanna see my e-mails, I click on the "[email protected]" icon and so forth. Is there a way to filter it this way???
    #2) When I send an e-mail, I automatically get THAT e-mail sent back to me! How do I disable this function? I have no need to recieve in my INBOX the e-mail I just sent out.... I tried going into "Messages->options" and turning the "hide sent" to "ON" but this problem still occurs...... Any help on that?
    #3) I have this stupid "Facebook" icon in my menu, how do I delete this permanently?
    Thanks everyone, I'm sure i'll have more questions as I'm readin through! 

    Yes, when you go into your messages and hit the menu key and select options and general options. Email and sms messages should be set to separate. Hit the back key to the right of your trackball to save. If you do not see an icon now just for sms and mms, do a battery pull. Take the battery out with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot does the icon appear now?

  • 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

  • Google Maps no longer works for my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. What is wrong with Google???

    For the past 11 months, Google Maps and Gmail have worked wonderfully with my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. Tonight, all of it stopped working. I tried to load Google Maps and failed. Kept getting the error message "Network Unavailable, blah blah blah". I tried restarting the phone, removing and reinserting the battery, until I finally uninstalled Google Maps. Now when I point my browser (OperaMini) to m.google.com to download and reinstall Google Maps, it says "Sorry the Google Maps application does not work on your 8330." This makes NO sense. Why would Google suddenly remove support for my phone? Is there a work around? Before uninstalled, I tried all sorts of tricks with editing permissions to no avail.
    Also, Gmail is refusing to check mail, occasionally saying that a data connection is needed. That also makes NO sense as I have great phone reception.
    My internet (OperaMini) and normal calling and texting capabilities are unaffected.
    In conclusion: Is there ANY WAY to get these Google applications to reinstall and work on my phone? Or has Google screwed me over? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Hyun

  • Curve 8330 not being recognized by the Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager . . .

    I just downloaded the Mac version of BDM.  It's a long time coming, but I'm glad that it works.  I have a Pearl that was easily recognized by the software and easily synced with all my data.  However, I also have a Curve 8330 that will not sync.  In fact, when plugged into the USB port, the BDM doesn't even see that the 8330 is plugged in, it still sits there asking, "To beging, connect your device to your Mac using the supplied USB cable."
    Any suggestions on what to do?
    Thanks.
    UPJ

    I would suggest, first off, rebooting the Curve.
    With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

  • Can't transfer calendar: Palm Treo to Curve 8330

    I've been helping my husband switch over from his Palm Treo 600, using Palm desktop, to new BB Curve 8330. A salesman transferred name and tel #s only.  I've managed to switch most of his Palm into Outlook, and sync'd Outlook with the BB.  The only problem now seems to be that the calendar is not syncing over to the BB. Suggestions???
    I have tried to sync setting configurations several different ways: to sync all or calendar only, to have Outlook override device, and two way.  Nothing will get the calendar over to the BB, although all his addresses and tasks are there now. Help!
    TIA,
    Michelle (for Chuck)

    Hi,
    Outlook 2003 and desktop manager v.6 will be perfect!
    Yes install the main email address on the Blackberry to match Outlook.
    On the Blackberry you get a calendar for each email address you use.
    Only one can be synchronized with the Outlook calendar.
    You can go to Outlook, tools, email options and make sure of the default account.
    Then on the Blackberry from the home screen, options, advanced options,
    default services. Use the main email options CICAL is the calendar and CMIME is the email.
    By placing them as default you then sync email address to email address calendars.
    Make sense?
    Let me know if you need anything else!

  • How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

    HI All
    i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
    thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    You can try the following things:
    1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
    2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
    You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
    For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
    Hope this will help.

  • Sql injection character fields

    Is it true that with MSSQL in the background, character fields can't be used for sql injection?
    A)   One source says that in MSSQL single quotes are escaped into double quotes.
    B)   Another source says that " SQL injection (within ColdFusion apps) is really only an issue with non textual fields. If a text value is tampered with you'll end up with tampered text, but that text will all be part of the core string (within quotes) passed as a value, and will therefore not be executed as separate statements. Numbers, on the other hand, are not enclosed within quotes, and so extraneous text can be tampered "
    Questions about A):   How does escaping 's with "s help, by making string literals in MSSQL not valid?
                                    How could A) above be true when names like O'Mally are being stored with a single quote ?
    Questions about B)    Does it mean code like DELETE * FROM atable would just be stored as a string and not execute ?
                                    If so, is that accurate ?

    To actually answer your question's.
    A) A single quote in SQL is a comment.  To store a single quote as DATA one has to escape it by doubling it.  So to store O'Mally it would be passed as o''Mally.
    The simple SQL injection attack is to end a number value with a random value, that is followed with a ; to end the SQL statment and then another statement can be run, this is then followed by a single quote to comment out any other SQL in the original statement.  ColdFusion automatically escapes single quotes in text fields in most situations, so this is harder to do with text fields, but not impossible.
