Many Recurring Problems w. new Blackberry Curve - 3 new phones in 2 months

I got the new blackberry Curve on Jan 1, 12 and right away started experiencing problems with the texting (as I have seen many on here having the same issue as well) - I am unable to scroll through texts. Switching it to "stripes" and not "bubbles" does not help. Pulling the battery doesn't even help anymore. I've had the phone exchanged twice already and each time, have had the same issue.
The other problem is that my internet consistently freezes on me - pulling the battery will only help for me to load the internet page fully once, then immediately stops loading after that. This is beyond frustrating and I don't see the point in exchanging the phone over and over again when clearly it is an issue with the curve itself. Please help! I really cannot be pulling my battery 20 times a day to perform the simplest of tasks.

Clarification to the above:
Running chmod on a given mbox file didn't help Mail import it. It still imported a folder that's empty and that would disappear after quitting and restarting Mail.
New mystery involving Smart folders:
Mail was able to download mail that was on my POP server (since September). I defined a few smart folders (to identify mail from given senders). These Smart folders see some of the messages from my backup. If I try to click on one of those old backed-up messages, it says that the message "has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." But I don't have an IMAP account. Does this tantalising hint suggest that Mail sort-of sees my messages, and if it sort-of sees them, can we make Mail really see them?

I want some kind if software where I can put all my documents on my phone I all ready have ms office on my pc but im looking to have one on my blackberry a pace of software where I can save, edit, all my docs (ms office, open office) or anything like that. Free if

Regarding the MS office, if you install the BB OS V. 4.5.0.x, it comes with Documents2Go. By registering, you get the updated version of the app which includes the ability to read/edit MS Excel docs. When all is said and done, the standard version of Documents2Go allows you to view/edit Word, Powerpoint, and Excel documents. To create new documents, you need to upgrade to the premium version of Documents2Go. Documents2Go requires BB OS 4.5.

Unlocked Blackberry Curve - Not allowing phone calls - UK

Hi all,
Recently took ownership of new blackberry curve 8520 which was locked to Orange network. Have unlocked and tried using my existing phone sim (virgin), and presented with "call forwarding conditional" then "authorization failed"
I tried a friends sim (they have a working BB), and this time I got "call failed" - For both sims, wifi works fine...
Anyone can offer any advice what I should and can do? I was thinking the BB might be still previously registered which might be the problem?
All answers much appreciated
Big thanks

Hello,
It is possible that the unlocking did not succeed...you can check via this FAQ:

Blackberry Curve is worst phone ever

I upgraded to the Blackberry Curve less than a year ago. Within that year, I have gone through 3 (THREE!!) Blackberry Curves. The first phone stopped working after about 3 months and they sent me a "refurbished" replacement. So I PAID for a new phone and was already using a used phone in 3 months. Well that phone overheated and the battery fried the phone about 3 months later. So in about 6 months, I was onto my third Blackberry Curve. It is now about 5 months later and my phone has stopped working again.
But here is the best part- after the phone turned off and I pulled the battery out 3 different times, I realized the phone was broken. So I had to wait the entire day to drive to a Verizon store to get ANOTHER phone. Magically, as I was driving to Verizon, the phone cuts on and is now working. I still went to Verizon, hoping they would be able to diagnose something so that I wouldn't need to go days without a working phone. I was told that since the phone is currently working (mind you- it was broken for 10 hours and had now been working for about 10 mins), there was nothing that could be done to help me. Instead, I was handed a PAMPHLET providing me with a number to call when (not if, but when) the phone broke down again, I could use this number to call and GET ANOTHER REFURBISHED PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said, "So I literally have to get a new refurbished phone every 3-4 months until I'm allowed an upgrade?" The Verizon store clerk said, "Yes, unless you want to pay for an upgrade."
Verizon has been NOTHING but a pain since I joined them. And this Blackberry phone is worth more trouble than it's worth. I have several friends who are also unfortunate Blackberry owners, and their phones are constantly breaking down and shutting off and the only thing Verizon has to offer is a refurbished phone.
I still don't understand how I paid for a new phone a year ago and was only able to use it for 3 months. Since then, I have been forced to use refurbished phones since. So why not just offer me a refurbished phone upfront, at a discounted price since you already know the Blackberry Curve sucks and is going to break down anyway?
Way to go Verizon!!! I can't wait until my contract is up with you so I can switch to a network that offers phones that work.

Is it the curve 8530 by chance? My entire family is cancelling all of our verizon phones once our contact is up (ONE MORE YEAR cannot come soon enough). So basically I upgraded to that stupid phone last August. Little did I know that it would be the WORST PIECE OF SH*T i've ever had to deal with in my life!!!! My original phone was actually the best one i had, in perfect condition until the battery overheated one day. The verizon people said it was due to a bad software update that kills the battery so they sent me a refurbished curve. Of course they said they'd "overnight ship" but it didn't arrive for 3 days. Did i complain? NO. Now this "new" curve lasted maybe 2 months max, before the trackpad suddenly switched directions for absolutely no reason!!! So yet again I had to go deal with verizon store which is my worst nightmare because the customer service is so bad. They wasted like 2 hours of my time testing out the trackpad before they finally could conclude that YES it was backwards for no reason. SO they said they'd send me a new replacement and GUESS WHAT they send me the WRONG phone so i was without a phone for basically a week waiting for them to figure it out. THEN finally this new replacement came and literally i had it for 3 weeks when suddenly the charger stops working. First I take it in and the chick at the store tries to claim that i'll have to pay for a new replacement because there is this TINY scratch on the front CLEARLY having nothing to do with the phone's ability to charge!!! So I freaked out and left and sent my dad in later. He comes back and my phone is working perfectly and he said that they first tried to claim it was a pressure crack but then they switched the battery and found that it was working fine and the battery went bad. So i was like oh good at least i won't need to replace again... BUT THEN ONE WEEK LATER, i wake up and my phone's dead and won't charge AGAIN!!! So i take it back and try to explain that this happened last week blah blah and the guy at the store is SO rude and shows me that this tiny little prong in my phone charger port is bent, so that's why it won't charge. **bleep**? I've had this phone for THREE weeks and the charger can break when i've done NOTHING to damage it??!! ANyways i wanted to try another store so my dad and i go in and they basically confirm there's a chip in the charger and they claim that it's ALL my fault and it's physical damage and i'd have to pay $300 for a replacement. $300 for a f*cking refurbished Curve that has already broken on me THREE times???? IT's a joke. I'm sorry that this is so long but right now i'm using my FOUR YEAR OLD LG DARE that actually lasted me for 2 years with no problems. I just can't believe after being loyal Verizon customers and dealing with ALL the problems with my blackberry and their customer service that they would blame ME for breaking the charger when clearly everyone knows that refurbished phones are sketchy (GOOGLE IT, they all say that the charger ports are usually messed up!) And we WILL be cancelling our accounts as soon as our contracts are up, Verizon. I've also advised all of my friends and coworkers to NEVER sign up with VErizon due to the horrible service I've experienced. Hello AT&T!!! one more year and I will finally leave this horrible company!

Any problems with new phones?

Some people got their new phones today. But I haven't seen any posts from any of them with complaints. Has anyone heard anything? Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

Unpair the headset from the phone with the problem. Restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears), the pair the headset again. Also, look for things nearby that may be causing interference in the Bluetooth band. Cordless phones are a common cause of interference.

SDcard problems on new phone

I had a four year old Cosmos. Got an SD Card around six months ago. Accumulated about sixty pics and sounds I use as ringtones. My new Cosmos 3 doesn't read any of the previous data. I have taken pictures with my new phone that show up. The Verizon store guy said the data had been lost. Yet, I put the card back in my old phone and everything is still there, except the pictures I took with my new one. I have looked through all the settings and can't figure it out.

Actually it wasn't too hard to figure out. The old phone had it in a different directory and folder setup by filename... And funny enough it changed from 'sounds' and 'pictures' to 'my sounds' and 'my pictures'. So just a quick little linkup with the USB cable on the charging device I was able to cut and paste them into the correct folder. It's kinda funny how much these phones are still basically computers despite the fact they are basic. Everything turned out well!

I am having a problem with my Blackberry Curve's "Convenience Keys."

My Convenience Keys (voice command and camera) randomly stopped working! When I try to use the voice command (even after troubleshooting), it does not respond at all and the camera asks me to close all other applications in order for it to operate! What can I do to fix these two "Convenience Keys?" I have not changed any of my options and I have not dropped my phone. (As a matter of fact, I have only had this BB Curve for a couple of weeks.) The only thing that I did differently was download two games. I have already verified that I am connected to the network and I have already verified that my “Screen/ Keyboard; Convenience Keys” are still set to “Voice Command” and “Camera.” I’m baffled and just don’t know what to do. Can someone please, help me figure this out? Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

Hi,
You have low free memory left on your device. I usually average around 45 to 46 mgb.
Do you have a lot of third party applications on your BB weather, icall,bbalerts etc?
I do not know your experience level, so if you know this I'm sorry but please read and let me
know if this applies to your use of the device.
Most people close the applications by pressing the escape or red key. This does not close the applications.
Each application has a CLOSE option. For instance if you are in the calendar hit the menu key (spotted key) and scroll down to the bottom CLOSE is listed. Go through each application and press close. Go into the browser press menu and options select cache operations clear all categories and hit escape it will say cleaning memory.
Go to options - security - memory cleaning - enable it. The BB will now clean memory when idle for 5 minutes.
you will have an icon on you screen for memory cleaning make sure you press it.
And make hitting the Close button a habit !
This is a link to a post by Tanzim for increasing the memory on your device, I would do every step you can. The more device memory you free up, the faster and smoother your device will run.

Problem with my blackberry curve 8520 smartphone

Since few days ago, the keyboard of my blackberry is not responding again and when i enlight the phone this is the message which appear: App error 523 reset
I need your help to solve this problem please.

See if you can boot the device into safe mode. Remove the battery. While holding down the back key reinsert the battery. Continue to hold the back key for another 20 seconds. The device will then boot into safe mode. If it boots up then you'll want to delete all third party apps or whatever you might have installed that caused the problem. If it doesn't boot up then here is KB that gives instructions on what to do:

Problema con mi Blackberry Curve 8520

Ayer al descargar una actualización del App, no se reinició correctamente. Saqué la batería y reinicié el dispositivo.
Ahora no puedo oir ni me oyen en las llamadas de teléfono. Se oye un plof plof.
Con los auriculares conectados el dispositivo funciona correctamente. Y todo lo demás también funciona: mensajes, internet, chat. También se escucha correctamente la melodía de llamada y la música.
Unicamente falla al hablar y escuchar, que no emite y recibe sonidos, sólo se escucha el plof plof, y se ve en la pantalla el signo de los auriculares intermitentemente.
¿Pueden ayudarme?
Muchas gracias,
Fina

Thank you for your advise, I really apreciate it, I wrote in spanish since I wasn't aware of the other site.
In this case I'd like to get help with my device since it self-restarted and then it won't reload the OS again, it stops on the black screen where the Blackberry logo is shown above the progress bar and when it gets to a 70% it won't move and I need to know if I can do something about it or if I must go to a service center in order to get the device fixed.
I already removed the battery, applied the soft reset and anything is working.
Thank you again for your help

Sounds to me like you don't have a plan that has data on it, or a plan that doesn't include social networking. Call your cell phone company and ask what your plan includes or visit the website and log in using your details and see what your plan includes.

Restore Blackberry curve contact after phone blocked due to wrong pin

Help! I have a very upset daughter whose 'friend' tried to guess her PIN incorrectly many times so the phone blocked. Her suppllier, Tesco, unblocked the phone for use. Unfortunately all her contacts and BBMs are missing. Tesco cannot retrieve them and I cannot copy them from Sim. Is the Blackberry still blocked due to the pin errors, how can I get her contacts back? A desperate mother.

I found out the PIN.
I have installed the latest OS, followed all the instructions here with AppLoader and Loader and running updates from Desktop Software and installing the updates from the carrier...
Still nothing. I have a white screen. If I turn it off, it lights up with a white screen, turn it on it lights up with a white screen. I have charged it, and it's sat there charging with a white screen.
When I turn it off it flashes the red LED in the corner, if I turn it on, it flashes green (well i'm assuming it's off and on, I don't really know...)
Any help at all?

My blackberry curve 8520 have a network problem... edge isn't working

Hello sir,
am facing a serious problem with my blackberry curve 8520. My mobile network is based on edge. And since 2 days GSM is shown at the place of edge and if I make a out going call, it shows " the call is Failed" and even messages can't be sent. And I get a incoming calls with out any problem, when I get a incoming cal GSM is changing to EDGE and then I can make a outgoing cal..In order to make a out going cal from my mobile I should receive a incoming cal first to change GSM to EDGE. And some times edge changes to SOS and no network is activated. Please solve my problem.

The first thing I'd do is to get a free SIM card swap from Airtel.
