Installation of Applications on BB Curve 8900

I am facing so much problem in installing themes on my black berry curve curve 8900. I downloaded the v4.6 Desktop Application software and installed it on my computer as my BB is having v4.6 OS Software. Then I downloaded themes from the web with both .alx and .cod files. I mean the download to my knowledge was complete. then i saw the installation process through application loader of my Desktop application software. Now the problem is that those themes are stored on my PC and when I browse the .alx file even, it gives me a message that " There are no new applications available for my device". I cant understand this problem. Can anybody help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Lauren,
It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
I hope by only putting yours in rice overnight that you'll be ok.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

FREE Facebook Application & Skype for Curve 8900

Hi, I just bought a BlackBerry Curve 8900 in last week and kind of frustrated when I was not finding any free application for Facebook chatting. I tried with ebuddy and nimbuzz but both of them did not work.
Can anyone please let me know if there is any free application for Facebook chatting in this device ?
Also, is there anyway to run the Skype in Curve 8900 ?
Will appreciate your suggestion.
Thanks !
Hasan

Well I don't know any free facebooks chat app but there is paid apps which would cost you USD 1.99. If you wish to have this app the check this link.
Skype for BlackBerry is available to Verizon subscribers only. Till date this is exclusive for them only

Upgrade OS of BB Curve 8900

Hello Experts,
How to upgrade OS on BB Curve 8900 when we I am getting an error " No Sufficient Memory Available" . My device memory shows that 67MB is available.
Is there any way to upgrade my current OS version to latest version. Hope I am not missing anything during the upgrade planning process.
Looking to hear more from experts.
Regards,
Hemant

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Device Memory is irrelevant for upgrades...AppMemory is what matters...see this:
There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, 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. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
All of that said, you further will need to clarify exactly which method of update you are attempting. There are several to choose from, and many sound similar when they are actually very different. Please provide specifics about how you are attempting this upgrade. My advice is to use this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
While written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you have downloaded and installed to your PC.
As for "latest version" -- you will find that via the download portal sites (a link in the procedure). If you desire to use an OS package from other than your BBs original carrier, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the procedure, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
Good luck!

My Curve 8900 and Google Custom Search

Hi,
I try to access a mobile site m.yamaha-motor.co.id using my BB Curve 8900, everythings seems OK, but I found out that one element inside this website can't load, then I try to access the same site using Opera Mini and it's working nicely.
This element using Google Custom Search, is there some thing wrong with my device / browser?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thx.

How can I get my blackberry curve 8900 to update to 5.0 and get wifi to work?

I bought a blackberry curve 8900 around a year ago on an AT&T plan back when data plans werent required, so it just has minutes and texting. because of an issue i had with data before, i have data disabled completely on my account to prevent any mistaken data being used up and charging me. my AT&T contract recently expired so i called them up and got my blackberry unlocked, and will be soon switching to tmobile.
My problem is that it refuses to update past 4.6 over to 5.0 because of some restriction on it placed by AT&T, and my wifi wont work unless i have data enabled for the same reason. Is there anything i can do? I've tried installing 5.0 from different service providers onto my phone but it never installs properly.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While you can (with just a trick or two) use any carriers OS package for your specific model number, it won't do any good since all 5.0 level OS's require a data plan, regardless of which carrier. So, without that, you can't update to 5.0. Further, it is the data plan that activates BIS -- which is what is used to run the BlackBerry Browser...hence that non-functionality also. Basically, a BB without a data plan is, to many, pretty useless.
There are other browsers that bypass BIS and will use a generic data plan (assuming you have that)...OperaMini and Bolt come to mind. You might give those a try.
Good luck!

FREE Call & SMS Blocker for Curve 8900

Is there anyone know an application for blocking unwanted call & SMS FREEWARE for Curve 8900???
like black&whitelist... but i don't want the shareware...
Thanks a lot.

I don't know of a free one. You can also look at iCallManager.
Meanwhile if you want to block ALL SMS messages, you can do that at Options > Security > Firewall settings and check the items you want blocked completely.

Curve 8900 - strange errors?!

Hi everyone!
BB curve 8900; v4.4.1.310; Vodafone Portugal data plan.
I'm having this problem:
My emails work wonderfully, so do text msgs, mms; blackberry messenger, all ok, BUT all my other apps won't connect.
Facebook says: error 101 try again later.
BB App world says: java.lang.nullexception
browser via data plan: it gets stuck in "loading"
I can get them all working through Wifi though!
AND YET, they work from time to time...I will receive from time to time, for example, FB notifications on my FB app that I'd already received on my email (and not on the FB app at the same time)
I dunno...I've made several battery pulls; plugged it into my mac and updated, cleaned unused apps and themes, cleared space...
I need some help..
thank you all.

Find a friend with a PC, you can use for a few hours.
I would recommend Desktop Manager, version 6. Download Desktop Manager from here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Use Desktop Manager to backup your BlackBerry first. If you don't already, you should do this on your own Mac Desktop for Blackberry as well.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=06997F04A7DB92466A2BAA6EBC8B872D
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Bold vs Curve 8900

Hi
Other than the ability to hook up to 3G networks is there anything else that the Bold can do that the new Curve 8900 can't do?
If there are no 3G networks (and none planned) in my region (and I don't travel very often) is there any compelling reason not to go for the Curve 8900?
Thanks
Matthew

MY personal opinion, IF all things are equal to you between the two devices, get the 8900, as you have increased 128MB application memory, double that of other (and Bold) devices.

ANYONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
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. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to 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.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
You may also need the use of these tricks:

Curve 8900 Sync Failure

My new Curve 8900 will sometimes 'connect' to my PC via USB cable to the BB Desktop Manager and sometimes it won't. If connected and I take a call I pull the cable from the device but when I re-connect it shows "Disconnected" on the Desktop Manager.
What am I doing wrong - or why will it not re-connect? Any help gratefully appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
When you use desktop manager notice that rimdevmger and BBdevmgr come up as processes.
On my XP driven PC they come up in the system tray. They sometimes remain after desktop
manager is closed and have to be shutdown manually.
Unless you are using the USB to charge the device, you should have the BB disconnected
from the USB cable.
I purchased a charging cradle and have found it extremely easy to charge the device,
and not have to constantly utilize the USB port.
Thanks,
Bifocals

Curve 8900 couldnt on

Hi,i am new here! i am facing some problem,my phone (curve 8900) keep shut down, after ON it not long ago, then its turns off automatically, need your guys experties to solve my problem,thank you

I got this off of someones replies. I have that issue too!! I havent tried it yet tho. Let me know if it works please!!
If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a white or black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

Curve 8900 not connecting to Desktop Software version 6.0.0.40

I am not able to connect my Curve 8900 to the BlackBerry Desktop Software Version 6.0.0.40. When I connect via USB it asks for the password and then it says connecting in the bottom right corner - it never connects. I also have the Blackberry Device Manager version 6.0.0.11 running at startup but it does say that the device is connected. There are no errors in the device manager. I am running Windows XP SP3.

No one else replied, but I seem to have solved the problem, more or less, so I thought I'd report back. See previous message for the setup.
1) First attack - make a concerted effort to truly undelete the 2 old versions of Desktop Manager. The typical list of "how to cleanly uninstall" (link above) is incomplete. This document is much better: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206 .
The part that matters is near the bottom, under Additional Information. Basically, take a shovel to the Registry and start digging out absolutely every reference to "Research In Motion" using the Edit/Find. I added to that recommendation a search on "BlackBerry" and even, for good measure, all the Roxio software (and removed the Roxio folders just like the Research In Motion folders). I can't say which part did the trick, but I could see some of the Install and Uninstall list items go by.
This finally killed the zombie entries in the Add/Remove Programs list, and prevented the Windows Installer attempts on unfindable .msi files.
2) Problems: In killing Roxio, I may have accidentally munged a Sonic registry entry. When I installed the Desktop Manager fresh from the CD, it complained about a registry-style confusion with Sonic software. It allowed me to continue past that point anyway.
I can't fix that, but I will be swapping in new PCs in a couple of months and can live with whatever reduced functionality might be involved.
When I started the Desktop Manager for the first time, I could see Windows Installer popups fly by in the background, but none of them stayed open, and perhaps that will be a one-time problem. Otherwise, if related to the Sonic issue, at least it's not a functional problem that prevents me from using the Desktop Manager.
3) I can now connect to the Desktop Manager via USB, but am unable to successfully update the device software. It goes through the backup process apparently successfully, but issues an error message about "Fatal error" before installing much (any?) of the new software. Seems to be a benigh error - phone still works. Because this will be reinstalled on a clean PC in a couple of months, I can pass on upgrading the device software until then.
4) All I care about is the ability to synch the contact and calendar data and, by god, that seems to be working!!! And it's much faster than my older BB.
If you're reading this, it's because you have an ongoing nightmare... You have my sympathy.
