No browser button on 9300 curve?

Hi all, my sons original BB curve 9300 was stolen - he liked it so much that I bought another from an Internet auction site. All was well till my son noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said all was fine with his contract. They helped me by remote access and backed up then tried to restore and update all to no avail. The only thing they could think was that it's an enterprise phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they don't want them surfing the net so it's disabled. My question is, is that right? Can anything be done to restore browsing or is it something else?
Thanks Nicky

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
What they say is true...see this
KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
If the Seller did not complete ALL of their steps, then you have bought a device that may never be able to fully function. But, if all that the Seller neglected is removing the IT Policy from the BB, then you can indeed do that:

Other methods of WIPE do not remove an IT Policy...only this method does.
Good luck and let us know!

  • 9300 curve memory

    I had an offer I couldn't refuse from virgin for a 9300 curve. It was my intention to use it mainly for calls and texts. However I now want to use it for web browsing as well. I am finding that on some sites the memory is not large enough to open the files. I know I could get another version with a larger memory, but is there any way I can upgrade/increase the memory on my current phone? I would appreciate any replies in non technical language as I am not experienced in mobile phone technology
    Thanks, hope to hear from someone soon

    If you want to delete apps, scroll to in on the menu and hit the BB menu button (you know, the one that looks like the Blackberry logo). Delete should be in there. You might need to reboot your phone after deleting some apps though, it'll warn you if you do.
    That usually works if you select other stuff - like photos - that you want to delete too.

  • I cannot access the Advaced Email set up screen from my 9300 Curve

    Can I talk to someone in Blackberry who can solve my email problem? Blackberry premium email team have been unable to help me for the last 5 weeks despite many attempts. Blackberry forums and BIS do not address why I cannot access the Advanced Setting screen to set POP/IMAP details for my primary email address from my phone. I have 3 other email address's working fine. I have had a 9300 Curve for the past year and this problem only occurred when updating the Blackberry software to 6.0 Bundle 2647 (V6.0.0.00 - Platform 6.6.0.223) 5 weeks ago.I am desperate for help....Jeff Dakin - 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    So as to avoid wasting your time with redundant advice, please post EVERYTHING you have already attempted, with exactness and clarity, especially since you've already been escalated to the folks who certainly should have been able to solve it.
    Thanks.

  • 9300 curve acting crazy

    I am having a problem with typing messages on my 9300 curve in any application. Example: trying to type message in bbm and cursor bounces all over screen, and when you are finally able to type a letter, sometimes wierd accent marks appear above the letter. also when trying to use gsp, the page flips on you. Any advice? these problems happen sometimes, then other times it works perfectly fine. Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    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.
    Best!

  • 9300 Curve wifi problem - cannot connect to internet using only wifi once data turned off

    I've got a 9300 Curve with a data plan from Rogers. I want to use my wifi in hotspots when I go overseas without using my data. I have no problems connecting to wifi networks. Once I turn off my data services, my connections to the wifi network show that the signal is still just as strong, but I can't use my browser, facebook, bbm, etc. - message is "unable to connect to internet" when I try and access my browser. This problem occurs whether I'm using a public hotspot or my home router. I used to be able to access wifi without using data from Rogers on my older Curve (can't remember the model), so I don't think it has anything to do with my plan.
    Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply!
    Did you mean "leave data ON and turn off data roaming"? But that would just turn off my data while I'm roaming, and while I'm not roaming, it'll still access through data and not through wifi like I would prefer. That's what I understand, but pls correct me if I'm wrong! I guess I meant to also mention that whether I'm in my home zone or overseas, I still can't use my browser, bbm, etc through wifi only, with data turned off...it just says there's no connection to the server/internet, even though it shows that I'm connected to a wifi network.

    On all model BlackBerrys, first make certain that you in an area of good signal coverage AND outside with a clear view of the sky in an open area of no tall buildings.
    For GSM network devices, do this:
    Click Options > Advanced > GPS > Menu > Refresh GPS.
    Give it up to 10 minutes to refresh, and try 2-3 times in a row. 
    For the 9800 model:

  • Wifi issue in blackberry 9300 curve

    Respected sir,
     i am vinod and i have blackberry 9300 curve.. whenever i turn on wifi able to connect to the wireless network but am not able to use internet. its giving the error message ie 
    '' unable to coonect to the internet, please try again later. if the problem persists please contact your service provider'' and i am sure that wifi is nothing to do with service provider. please help to resolve this issue.. and i hope for positve response from you.

    You're running OS 5 on your BB 9300, right?
    So go into your Browser -> Browser Option -> General Setting -> Default Browser Configuration -> You choose: "Hotspot Browser"
    (If necessary, you should check at Browser Option -> Browser Configuration, it should be "Hotspot Browser" too).
    Then it will enable to use wifi in browser.
    Hope it works for you, buddy
    P/S: In case, your device's running OS 6 or the above solution can't solve your problem, let me know

    The box to select a file from/to the HD doesn't open. I can't save pages, images, Export/Import the Bookmarks via HTML, open file (CTRL+O), upload images via a browse button on sites, etc. Since I don't have a printer Print print (CTRL+P) defaults to xps which requires a save as dialog.
    Only in Firefox.
    Version 6.0.2
    Windows XP SP3
    Last confirmed save as via Firefox was August 22nd.

    Well I don't know, I do see in your system details it says..

  • Detect if time/date browse button was used

    Hi,
    I have a position control vi for indexing elements inside array and displaying corresponding time and date. I have large number of control signals inside my block, but I have removed all irrelevant blocks and signal for this discussion. I have replaced all unnecessary controls with constant values, so don't waste time analyzing it.   
    If you take a look at my vi, you will see Star/Stop control, Position control and a time stamp indicator (Waveform time) with a time/date browse button from another time stamp control. I have all desired functionalities, but I have problem when using browse button for setting up time. I can't set my time two times in a row at same value because I'm comparing "Last entered time stamp" value with current one just entered. I would not like to completely change my blocks because I'm using a lot of property nodes and variables inside my project. I'm just looking for a way to figure out if time/date browse button has been pressed so I could jump to desired point in my recorded waveform.   
    Solved!

    I can't change Waveform Time Indicator to a Control because that would make other controls much complex (not shown in attached vi)
    I have modified my block to the simplest form. I have changed some control names.
    There is now only one problem - how can I detect if user has pressed time/date browse button? I'm not interested at this point which value has been entered.
    I need to replace User has entered value in  Jump to time/date with some kind of Boolean logic or event case.

  • How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

    I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
    If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

  • Removal of the the Browse button at the lower right corner.

    Just would like to send out a request for apple to update the new iTunes 8.0 by re-adding the "Browse" button at the lower right hand corner, along side of the new genius button. I found the feature in the drop down view section on the top bar, but I'm sure users will be lost and have a hard time finding it.

    You can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
    You can also use a keyboard command to open and close the browser. Hold down the Command and B keys together.

  • After I have migrated a 'master' profile into another, the browse button (for a download location) in Options, General doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this?

    Hi Supporters,
    I've been struggling with this some time (downloading / saving problems) and tried all kinds of variations. But I'll keep it simple for now.
    As a test .. I've just created a fresh firefox profile. Checked out if could change the download location, through the Browse button, and indeed that worked. I got an explorer dialog to choose a folder.
    Normally I would do the options, manage the search engines, do some layout stuff etc etc in order to get some 'baseline / master' profile I can evolve further into other more extended profiles. So you see this master profile will get copied into another one.
    But, having copied that fresh profile (having done nothing yet) into another seems to disable choosing another download folder. The Browse button in Options > General does not work anymore.
    There's more. If I browse to, say, C:\ as default download location but then enable 'ask me where to save ..' in the fresh profile and then copy this profile to another one .. if I then want to change the download location (which shows C:) it jumps to Desktop and again the Browse button won't work.
    This is driving me mad. Any ideas? Sorry for the long story, hope it helps.

    Hi guys,
    @cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
    No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
    @jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
    No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
    Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
    Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

  • File path control - browse button colour/color

    I can't change the colour of the browse button on a file path control. I'm using LV 8.5, but I think I have the same problem on 7.1
    Is the only way to change the colour to customise the control? Every other part of it seems to take colours from the tools palette.
    Thanks for any pearls of wisdom.
    Jon.

    I am able to change the path browse button color in 8.51 are you trying to change the button color or the color of the folder on the button.  To change the buttoin color use the paint tool and make sure you hit the space bar so you are painting the left color (Background color I cant remember which is which).  This probably doesnt work on system buttons.

    Hi,
    Although the mobile version of Internet Explorer is supported by SharePoint 2013, however, for Office 365 SharePoint Online 2013 which keeps updating all the times, there may
    be some compatibility issues during the process.
    As this issue is more relate to SharePoint Online, it would be more appropriate to open a thread in Office 365 forum, you will get more help and confirmed answers from there:

  • HT5361 When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.
