Keypad Lighting for BB Curve 3G 9300

Hi, can't seem to find in the options how to enable the lighting for the keypad of my BB Curve 9300 3G model. Can't type anything in the dark because i can't see the keypad due to absence of back lighting. Thanks.

hello,
the backlight of the screen can be configured, but the backlight of the keyboard cannot. It is automatically triggered when the proximity censor feels it's dark.
I suggest you to go to your carrier support and have them look at this issue, and maybe change your device for another one.

Please help! I have an old BB and loved the Dimension Today theme.
I now have the new 9300 and can not locate this theme anywhere. I have called ATT and searched on net but cannot find an answer.
Hoping someone can tell me how to get the today theme on my 9300?
Thanks!
Hello trish88,
Are you using BlackBerry 6 on your Curve 9300? If not, it is available from AT&T download site (click here) which, when you scoll up to bar between the Sounds and Search, you have the Today theme view.
For more information, have a look at this article: KB24838

Hi bhogendra75,
Welcome to the Community,
I agree with your concern but if an authorize service center says so then there is a little chance of getting it on road,But if you still think that there is no liquid damage then you can try a few things to reassure yourself,and I also think that there is no problem in trying,So we can just try for that have a look :
1.First make sure you have your backup.
2.KB02318 : How to delete all the data or all data and applications on a BlackBerry Smartphone.
3.Installing OS on your device :
Credit sdgardne :
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
2) Download BB Desktop Software BlackBerry desktop software
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:Carriers ( but make sure it is of the same device model)
4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then 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
5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
Don't forget to backup.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Good Luck

Hi pxajb002,
Welcome to the BlackBerry family!
When integrating an email account into BlackBerry Internet Service, old emails are not sent to your BlackBerry, only emails from the point you integrated, onward.
Hope this answers your question!

Pdf viewer for curve 3g - 9300

i have purchased Blackberry Curve 3G - 9300 but I am unable to view PDF files. Pls guide as how to proceed.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As long as a PDF remains an attachment to an email, the BB will render it. Once detached from the email or otherwise not an attachment, you need a 3rd party app in order to render it. There are many in the world...you will need to search, research, and choose.
Good luck!

Problem with E61 - no more light for keyboard

I have a E61 and now there is no more light for the keyboard
I put all default settings but the keyboard stays always dark
What is the problem ?
Thanks for helping

The problem could lie with your photo detector on the top left corner of the phone. If this does not detect light correctly or if it does not detect light at all it will cause the keypad lights to malfunction.
Best let your NSC test it and repair what is necessary.

N85 keypad light problem

My n85 numerical keypad approximately 5 seconds after the light is off, the buttons on top of the light is on normally, pressing the numeric keys the light side still does not open when you on/off keylock or slide open and close keypad light back normal(on)

it is most probably a bug in the firmware, the only solution to this issue would be to wait for a release of another fimware hoping that this might get solved, tho it does not have to. i had issues with the keypad on the frist firmware but that got fixed since v11....was released

Nokia 6680 - Keypad Light Problem..

Hi can anyone tell me why my keypad light switches itself off while the screen remains bright? Its impossible to text in the dark!

I have often wondered this, mine does exactly the same. I have S/W Vers 4.04.07.
I can only presume that it's some sort of battery saving feature that Nokia have put into the unit. What the unit should do is keep the keypad light lit whilst buttons are still being pressed and then only turn off when no keys are pressed for a certain amount of time.
Any ideas people???

Nokia 6500slide Keypad light problem

I am having a problem with my nokia 6500s, the keypad lights with the numbers on will not switch off unlike the buttons on the top((select etc))
Can anyone give me any help??
Would be really grateful.

Hi
I have the same phone...8 months old..actually it has been in for repairs 3 times..the new one they gave me to replace it is is for repairs as I type this.
My keypad lights go off after a few hours...whatever buttons I press..the keypad lights will not come on. Sometimes the delay is 3 or 4 days..but they eventually don't come on. The only thing that resolves it for a few days/hours is to switch it off and on.
I suggest you take it back to where you bought it.
Hope it helps.

When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

OK, I have a fix.
After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem. I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

Hope this helps.

Unable to unlock blackberry curve 3g 9300 with the unlock code

I have the same problem and could not unlock my blackberry curve 3g 9300 from Canada's wind network.
I have called my network provider twice and obtained the unlock code. I also called back to reconfirm the unlock code.
However each time I tried to unlock my blackberry curve 3g 9300 with the unlock code ,it refuses to unlock.
please assist me with a solution.
I am John Green

After the ten attempts have been used, you must get RIM to unlock the device.
There are two routes, and only two, to achieve this.
* IF your device is in warranty, contact your service provider technical support. Tell them you have this issue which needs to be escalated to RIM level customer support. I'll warn you that most carrier technical support people will first assume and think you are referring to a device security unlock, and you will need to convince them otherwise and explain clearly what you need. THEY will not be able to help you because the carriers themselves cannot unlock a device which has had the MEP code attempts depleted, and should (and you will need to ask) to have the case escalated to RIM level tech support.
* If your device is out of warranty, contact RIM direct. See the Contact Us information from the website: http://ca.blackberry.com/contact/ The options you want to select to speak to BlackBerry Customer Care are 3 (for inquiries, orders, billing, e-RMA etc) then 5 (e-RMA and Out of Warranty).
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

E52 Keypad Light LEAKS!!

Hey,
Bought an E52 this week..of many Many keypad light leaks..the one below the Home key's the worst; you can actually see an LED. In low light situations, this actually gets to you.
This picture is from a Lebanese handset reviewed by somebody at Symbian-Guru..its the same in my Indian handset..
Went to a Nokia Care centre where they showed me a spare keypad cover..I turned it around and there's a HOLE in that spot on all E52 keypads!!
If somebody could please explain the logic behind this...?
Thanks in advance,
Gopi A.

I suppose it's not just on the E52 then. The light leakage also occurs in the E72 and many have mentioned this flaw, thinking it's only their unit that has this design defect.
In the E72, it has exactly the same light leaking under the Home key. There's also a slighter light leaking beside the left soft-key and also beside the right-soft key. (probably not as bad as the E52 for the light leaks on the sides of the soft-keys).
