Music over BT on Curve 8520

I'm new with a BlackBerry Curve 8520. I came from a "standard" non-smart cellphone where I could play "music" over most Bluetooth earpieces / headphones. Now it seems that only stereo Bluetooth headphones will allow music to be played over Bluetooth.
Does anyone know of an "affordable" stereo BT headset?
Also, the headset jack uses a "three wire" system (Left, Right, "pause"," use with a BlackBerry headset. What "wire" is required to connect to a standard "AUX" stereo jack on PCs or "stereo" systems?

Affordable and quality are subjective. If you Google it there is a good choice of H/S.

Correct.

I use Mikomi headphones with my stereo and pc and, the the adaptor removed, also with the 8520. I'm not sure quite what you are trying to do.

Problems Setting up Email on Curve 8520

I'm not able to set-up email on my new curve 8520. I know that other people have posted about it before, but I still can't seem to get it working!
I have BIS and have already created a Blackberry ID. Whenever I go to email setup, the only option I'm presented with is "I want to create or add an email address" and when I click next it says "After you click Next teh Blackberry Internet Service setup application opens. After you finish setting up yruo email press the menu key and click close". On the next page , I'm asked for my username and password, and when I fill it in, I always get:
"The information you provided is incorrect. Retype your user name and pasword."
I know that my username and password are correct, as I've double checked them in BlackBerry App World, so the issue has to be coming from somewhere else.
I've contacted Vodafone several times, and RIM but no one has been able to give me a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Heathermac, the username and password for setting up your email on your BIS account is NOT the same as your BlackBerryID... two very different and totally separate things.
You might want to make your BIS login the same as your BlackBerryID, that would be convenient and a good idea, but they are not the same. They are set up differently, and one does not carry over to the other.

Curve 8520, 2 little things I would like to know.

Hello everyone,
I have a Black Berry Curve 8520 and I would like to know 2 things.
First:
I would like to know how to add a contact from a text message, like I just gave my number to my mate and he sends me a text how can I add his number to my contacts from his text ?
Second:
When some one sends me a text or calls, it comes up with there number not there name that I put as they are in my contacts, how can I make it come up with there name instead of the number because I never remember numbers ?
Thanks in advance to those who help me.

I am now able to connect to the Internet on my laptop via my Blackberry's data plan using Verizon.
I'm somewhat lost with this question or the way it was worded which isn't hard for me most of the time.
You are able to connect with your laptop over the internet using your Blackberry to access files available on your laptop or are you referring to using the iPhone as an internet connection device for your laptop?

Cannot open transferred .doc files on my BB Curve 8520

I am a new user and have just bought a BB Curve 8520. Carrier is Virgin Media; OS is V4.6.1.314 (platform 4.2.0.135); Desktop Manager Version is 5.0.1.2.8
I have transferred photos, music and some documents from my PC successfully to my BB using Desktop Manager. However some .doc files transfer, but I cannot open them on the BB. I get an error message saying a file cannot be opened as it is an RTF file. I also notice that when I start to transfer the files, the little window that pops up does not give me the option to convert them - it is grayed out. Help please - I am totally new to Blackberry and not a whiz! Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should save the files as true Word documents on your PC first.
WordToGo on your BlackBerry will open MS Word documents.

What is wrong with my Curve 8520? Please help!

I am having problems with my BB Curve 8520. v5.0.0.592
First the phone started freezing all the time and I had to do a battery pull to unfreeze it, and everytime after it restarted it got the Uncaught Exception: java.lang.error.
I uninstalled my BBM V6.1beta and my appworld 3 beta and installed the lastest official releases for them but it didn't fix the problem.
I then deleted all the apps that I installed recently and after installing Photo Editor Ultimate the java error stopped.
Right now the freezing is gone but now when I download pictures or songs, they don't show up anywhere on the phone. Not in the gallery and not in the file explorer. They only show up after I reboot my phone. Also when right now when I press the menue button, the menu at the left doesn't show, it only appears after I scrolled over every item in the menu, so basically it was invisible until I went up and down on the trackpad.
What can be the problem?

Hi MarcC8520,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT Make sure to test for the issue before restoring any data from your backup file.
Hope this helps.

Annoying problem with CURVE 8520, please help !!!

My blackberry Curve 8520 connect to the mobile internet (not the BB service ) automatically everyday without me logging on any application or browser or making any updates.
I tried installing a new software, formating the phone, removing all the aplication and restoring the factory settings and all of them did not work and the same problem PRESISTS.
I contacted my provider customer service and they said that they can not know what exactly connects to the internet
Does anyone have a clue what may be this annoying OPTION that makes the connect to the internet without any notification?
I appreciate you help !
Thanks

Hi gom3a and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
The BlackBerry® smartphone will always make a connection with the data network in order to ensure you are always receiving email and messages when then are sent to you.
The BlackBerry® data services do not require you to login and most applications only require you to provide your login information once, then its saved so you don't have to login over and over again.
Thanks.

BB Curve 8520 : Too many files per directory ?

Hello,
I recently bought a 16 GB micro-SD card, and formatted it for my BlackBerry Curve 8520, but when I try to copy the entire content of my music folder (about 2000 files) in the card, my BlackBerry tells me the card contains some errors and i need to format it again. However it works when I only put a small amount of files on the card (for example, 50 music files). Is there a way to fix this ? Do i need to split my music into different folders or something ?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
After several tries, it appears that my BlackBerry simply didn't like the songs with japanese characters in their title. I just renamed some of my songs and now it works perfectly !

Cant Update BB curve 8520 from 4.6 to 5 OS

I recently tried to update my BB curve 8520 OS v.4.6.1.286 to OS 5 .
I did all these steps.
1) Downloaded 8520wifiM_PBr5.0.0_rel860_PL5.2.0.47_A5.0.0.509_Wind_Hellas
2)Deleted "vendor.xml"
3)And executed LOADER.EXE
I followed all the steps and i couldnt update my OS.
I dont know what else to do i followed all the steps still i failed
Is there any other way to update my OS ???

if you have BB Desktop Manager installed on your computer, you should just have to plug your BB 8520 in and Desktop Manager will automatically tell you that theres an update and give you the option to do it. A data plan is required for OS5 to work. Thats how I did mine and the whole thing took all of 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind though that there are apps that will not reinstall after the update so you'll have to reinstall them, but it will tell you which ones didnt carry over.

My Curve 8520 stops working

Hello,
My Blackberry smartphone curve 8520 stops working. I can't call or ping. It has given me the message to reload software 552. Even my service provider can't help me. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Hi
I'm sure we can help
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
If the PC does not recognize the BB, You need to connect the via the USB cable. Then pull the battery from the BB.
With the battery pulled, connect the BlackBerry to the USB connector and as SOON as you see USB-PIN:UNKNOWN hit Next. You have to be quick. From there you can put the battery back in (make sure you install the battery or else when the OS update is completing and the device disconnects from the computer to reboot, it will lose the power provided by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to do it all over again!).
If you don't get it right the first time, try again (unplug from USB, pull battery, connect and hit Next while USB-PIN:Unknown is showing). You have to be fast and the timing is key, so it may take you three or four attempts.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Listen To Online Music over Bluetooth?

Just a question...
I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 (obviously), and I also have a pair of wireless Jaybird Bluetooth Headphones. I successfully got them to sync to my Blackberry and successfully am able to listen to music I put on my micro card. That all works great. However, if I try to listen to some online radio (such as Pandora, or and NFL Live feed) I am unable to hear it thru my BT Headphones. Another example would be not being able to listen to Youtube music over the headphones as well. Now is there some setting that I am just completly missing here to enable me to listen to online stuff over my BT? Like I said before it works with local songs on the device. HELP!
Blackberry 8330, Shoulda got the Tour

Not sure about from other programs, but check the following setting in Pandora. One you go into Pandora, go to the Stations List screen. In that screen, hit the menu button, choose Options. Set the "Bluetooth" option to enabled.

Headphones messing up handset audio - Curve 8520

After owning my Blackberry Curve 8520 for 8 months - I had my first issue when I plugged in the headphones that come std with the device. Once I unplug the headphones - the handset audio is completely messed up. When you dial out, receive a call, or listen to music - all you hear is a clicking sound as for some reason the sound toggles between headset and handset (the headphone logo flashes on and off in the top left hand corner of the screen). It's utter BS.
Seriously - what is the issue with the headphones on a blackberry?
I've seen so many posts on this very issue in this forum that are unresolved - can someone from RIM not just take some responsibility and tell us why it causes the sound to go postal? Perhaps suggest a solution!
And no, the following don't work:
Taking out the battery and rebooting 1-3 mins later.
Plugging and unplugging the headphones repeatedly until it stops going mental.
Clicking activate handset on the menu when listening to audio or taking a call
Bascially now I can only use my phone when i have heaphones in - which is LESS THAN IDEAL.
Any other solutions?

I have an 8520 and got the dreaded clicking sound when calling where the 8520 screen flips between the headset and handset audio features making phone calls unworkable. I resolved the problem by inserting the headsort cable, pressing 1 for voicemail and then when the call started pulled out my headset jack from the phone and the problem disappeared. It happened randomly so I can't tell you exactly when I yanked out the jack, but it worked and not the problem has disappeared.
