Is it possible to get the BlackBerry Curve to be a reliable MODEM?

My BlackBerry has been a constant source of frustration since it is worthless as a data device, it frequently drops connections and often will not reconnect again.  The phone provider just runs through a standard set of clearing cache, removing battery, etc. types of circumventions that may get the connection back but it fails soon after.  It is pointless to have a device that needs to have the battery removed multiple times every day, and that ends up being an unreliable MODEM for connecting to the internet.  Talking to the phone service provider is of little help since they are a middle man for RIM whom seems to provide them with no real means of resolving problems, and RIM seems to have isolated themselves from the customer base so that they have no idea about how the customer experience with their product.  The problem is encountered from both a Windows Media Center (WIN/XP) desktop and a Windows Vista Laptop, using my sons NOKIA E51 works without any problems and even provides faster connections in the process.  It seems that this is a problem with the BlackBerry product, but I have not been able to find any support that can resolve the issues.
ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO GET THE BLACKBERRY CURVE TO BE RELIABLE?

I would recommend that you update the handheld operating system. You can see a list of latest versions available HERE. If your problems persist then you need to get a replacement device from the carrier.

  • Does the BlackBerry Curve 9300 support OTG?

    I have a BlackBerry Curve 9300. I was recently shopping and saw a flashdrive that can be plugged into smartphones to transfer data between your phone and another device. The package said something about OTG. Does the BlackBerry Curve 9300 have OTG? Or is there any way to get OTG support for my phone?
    If not, are there any other microUSB drives that would not require OTG support to be compatible with my phone?

    You would need the original installation disks or files for the Adobe software to get it onto your iMac, and having it on two computers may not be allowed by your university's licensing. Talk to whoever issued the MacBook.
    As to the music, just copy it over to the MacBook, either via Home Sharing, file sharing, or an external storage medium (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc.).

    Hi Poojith
    Not sure if this would solve your requirment but just in case might be helpful:
    1. We can mix up the HTML and HTMLB components in the JSP Page. However, can access only the HTMLB components in the controller. The following link refers to what customizations are offered by the HTMLB framework:
    [http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/]
    2. Another option would be to use AbstractPortalComponents or a simple web app if that's feasible. (where custom UI themes, css and layout are more in control of the developers.)
    Thanks

  • HT1222 Is it possible to get the SSL fix without having to install ios7 (which I tried and hated) or jailbreaking the devices?

    I have a few ipads, iphones and ipod touches of various models, and all run iOS6 of various types (whatever they were running when I last updated them before iOS 7 came along and stopped me being able to get newer versions of 6).
    I tried iOS7 for a while but hated both the appearance and some of the things that changed.
    My ipods have updated to a new version of iOS6 with the SSL fix.
    I can't seem to get this option for the ipads or iphones.
    Is it possible to get the important SSL update for iOS 6 for iPhone5, iPad3, ipad4 and ipad mini (not retina) without having to go to iOS7?
    (It seems that I can get a fix by jailbreaking but I really don't want to do that if there's another option since I have no need for it otherwise.)
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks, that's helpful. I expected that answer, since I read a load of stuff about Apple pushing people to get iOS 7 despite it having people who disliked it, but was hopeful it was not the case
    Some of the changes, like to calendar were just frustrating.
    Not a big problem though - just means that the next phone and tablet hardware update I get won't be apple.
    Thanks a lot for the swift and helpful replies.

  • Is it possible to get the information from the complete forms send to different email account

    When i have a paid account is it than possible to get the information from the different forms send to seperate emailaddresses.
    Who dont have a account from formscentral but just need the information directly in there own inboxes?
    Because we're looking for a good and simple way to make qoustion & complain forms. But these need to go to different people in the company.

    You can have notifications sent to multiple email addresses, but each will need to have a FormsCentral account.  They can be free accounts.  What you do is create your form and set up the email addresses that you want the information to go to to be Co-authors or Contributors.  The co-author/contributor accounts will then need to log into FormsCentral, go to the Options tab and check the email notifications checkbox. 
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to get the image from the i pad when mirroring via Apple TV to fill the screen instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

    When mirroring, is it possible to get the image from the ipad to fill the screen on the TV instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, a TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9, to fit one into the other is impossible without distorting the picture. If your TV has a zoom feature, you may be able to use this to fill the screen a little more to your liking, but this will result in cropping top and bottom.

  • Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?

    Hi !
    Is it possible to get the position of a charcter from a string ?
    Example:
    @VAR contains the following text "ABCDEFGHIJKLM"
    I'am seaching for FGH, it start on pos. 6 en ends on pos 8.
    How can I get these numbers 6 and 8 ?
    So, I can use them in the MID(text,start,len) function.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sooraj,
    I'll explain more in detail:
    From a web-service I get a variable called @Spec.
    This variable contains the following:
    "MOTORTYPE[CR]D-QW1234[LF]PART[CR]1234-FRD-X[LF]"
    or
    "MOTORTYPE[CR]ABC[LF]PART[CR]E-435[LF]"
    I need the values behind MOTORTYPE[CR] and behind PART[CR]
    But you’ll see that the positions of these values are different each time.
    If there is a way to get the (start) position of "MOTORTYPE[CR]" or "PART[CR]" and the (end) position of the first "[LF]" behind that,
    then I could use the MID() function to get the correct values.
    The values will be displayed in a table view (between other fields).
    An ABAP-call/function won’t work . . . how should I invoke this within a table column/field object ? (system action ?)

  • Is Verizon going to get the Blackberry Storm 3 (9570)?

    I am currently an Alltel customer that was bought out by at&t.  We are set to change over in December or January.  I may or may not stay with at&t as I have heard bad things about their service.  I am interested in a complete touch screen Blackberry and am wondering if Verizon is set to get the Blackberry Storm 3?  I heard they were and then heard it was cancelled?!  Anyone know? Thanks!

    Hello,
    The services you listed in your post will require a data plan which is provisioned by your wireless provider. You may want to contact your wireless provider to see if you have the correct plan.

  • Data recovery, possible to get the file structure back as well?

    Hi Apple Smarties,
    I closed my laptop lid on my external LaCie drive without ejecting the drive first (smart one!). After that the external drive wouldn't mount. I've used Data Rescue 3 to recover all the files from the drive... however it's just lumping all the files into one big batch :-( ...anybody know if it's possible to get the files into the correct files structure they were at before the drive got corrupted?
    Assistance would be HUGELY appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Kind regards

    Thank you Barry. Yes, Comcast is my mail provider. It is a POP account.
    Now, if you could point me in the right direction to do that re-build, I would be ever so grateful. I did use the "rebuild" button on the Mail tool bar for that box and it did not help. Perhaps there is something else I could do?
    As I mentioned, I am very new to the Mac world, and I get a little lost. Well, at age 73, I guess that's not hard to do! Been on Windows forever so lots of the terminology in Apple is quite different for me.
