OS6 on Curve 9300 - maps icon dissappeared

After OS6 was downloaded and installed on my Curve 9300, the Maps icon dissappeared.
Using the Desktop Software, in the list of installed applications Maps is listed.
What must i do to get an icon for Maps?

Hide an Icon:
1. Click and hold the icon you want to hide.
2. Select Hide from the menu that appears
3. If the icon is colorless but not hidden, press the Menu key and make sure that Show All is not selected from the action menu.
To find and Unhide an Icon:
We will reverse the process to find and unhide and icon. Reference the photos above if you are confused.
1. Press the Menu key and select Show All
2. Find your “hidden” icon which should be colorless on the All view on the home screen.
3. Press the icon and press the Hide button from the menu appears
4. You will want to press the Menu key again and deselect Show All so the icons you want to stay hidden will disappear again.

BB curve 9300 - MAPS

MAPS screen stays blank ( = white, even though 8- satellites are found). OS = 6. Carrier is subsidiary of 02 Germany. Google Maps hangs up, insufficient memory. Was initially working fine with MAPS and ETISALAT carrier (even in Germany, until change of provider). I've done several remove / reinstall / reset / reboot on install of both applications, to no avail. Any ideas (before going back to 2 different devices) pls?

Quax_1, please for now ignore Ereamazing's advice.
In what country are you located now where the Maps is not working?
This is Google Maps?
Have you tried BlackBerry Maps? Does it work?
Also, with your new provider SIM card, do you have the required BlackBerry Data Plan provisioned to your account?
On your Manage Connections screen, click on the Services Status. What is the status of the BlackBerry Internet Service?

App World Missing Icon Curve 9300 OS 6

I recently noticed that my Blackberry App World icon was missing from my home screen. I drilled into each of the sub folders, selecting 'show all' for each, and still could not find the icon. I attempted to re-download the app from the blackberry website using my browser, but was informed that I already had the application on my device. I then attempted to replace the existing version, and still no icon.
I then decided to navigate to the application center and remove the app world application. I then navigated back to my browser (cleared the cache) and attempted to download the app. I received a 'download failed' notification, with the details of 'Invalid COD error 907' message (or something to that affect).
Based on a google search attempt, I have also attempted to register my device via advanced system settings -> host routing table.
And yes, I rebooted the device with a battery pull multiple times.
Now I'm stuck. Thanks for any replies or guidance.
-Jake S.
Specs:
Device: Curve 9300
Carrier: Vodaphone UK
OS: 6.0 Bundle (v6.0.0.448, platform 6.6.0.124)
App world: v2.1.1.19 (i think)

RH - Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have already attempted your provided suggestion.
I navigated as follows: Options --> Device --> Applications Management; and removed the App World applicaiton. I rebooted the device, and used my phone browswer to navigate to the appworld download page at blackberry.com.
When I attempted to download, I received a 'Download failed.' notification. When I select to see the detail of the error, I receive this message: '907 Invalid COD A network error occurred'.
Any other suggestions?

Some problems I have with my Curve 9300. Hope you can help me.

Hi everyone.
I decided to post here to know if someone can help me out, I'm a blackberry curve 9300 user - O.S. 6, I've had the smarthpone for a while now, but since the beginning I've been having some minor details, I want to know if there's a simple solution for those things.
1. Browser.
Since the beginning, the phone native browser has this problem where it starts to load a page but at the middle it just stops and goes back to the home page, so that I can't load any page. I have to search for another browser which works just fine, but maybe there is something I can do to solve this since youtube or othe pages only load on the BB browser and as I said, it doesn't load the pages. It doesn't promp any error message or anything.
2. Don't-know-what-it's-for Icon.
For a few months now, there's this icon that I can't tell what it's for, I've already search all over the APP for updates but nothing, I just decided to coexist with the icon as it never goes away. Maybe there's something I'm not doing right to check the icon. Here's a screen capture of the mentioned icon.

3. Crazy pointer.
Sometimes, not always, the pointer just go mad, it start to move by itself, and when one tries to write it becomes impossible, I've tried changing the sensitivity of the pad but no changes.
Thanks in advance for any advices you can give me.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Awesome! You should now be fine for those two... my guess is the crazy pointer may just be due to an over-sensitive trackpad (usually happens when the trackpad gets covered in skin oils). Try cleaning it once in a while with a soft cloth to remove any finger oils and that should help with that.

Why Application Storage is only 250 MB (Curve 9300)

I have a Curve 9300 with a 2 GB memory Card but when I check the APPLICATION STORAGE it only displays 250 MB (40 MB free).Why is it displaying only this much memory and Is there a way to increase this free space
I have recently upgraded to OS6 and that has taken most of the space. I used to have around 150 MB left but after the upgrade its only 40 MB free
Please advise

Fair enough. BUt why is it we only have like 50mb free space. Thats not alot to work with and a heads up before purchasing the device would have been appreciated. Now i have read you can clear some of the memory.. any advise as to where we can do this. Because i promise you 50mb will not be enough for me... There has to be a solution to this...!!
This is very dissapointing. And everytime i upgrade a app it takes more space...!!!
Please advise...

Trouble when typing and scrolling on Curve 9300

My girlfriend had a bb curve 9300 and has an issue when she types text and scrolls through the menus. When typing txt the phone will produce random foreign characters (the language is definetly set to english) and the cursor will move randomly throught the txt so she can't construct sentences as it will sometimes start typing within another word. Also when she's scrolling through the menus the cursor will move all over the screen and not in order. E.g when she scrolls down it will jump to an icon sometimes on the other side of the screen. Her phone provider has washed their hands of it saying its out of warranty but they sent it away anyway and it came back saying its water damaged, impossible as its always in a case and never out of her sight, and wasn't worth their while fixing it. I sent it off through my bank insurance and its come back today allegedly 'fixed' however within half an hour its doing it again. Any suggestions apart from giving her my bold when I get my new one when I upgrade next week?

In order to use your 9300 you will need to have a specific BlackBerry BIS data plan. Without it your device will not work as expected.

I REALLY NEED HELP WITH MY CURVE 9300'S WIFI!

HI !
i have a blackberry curve 9300, OS5. I got it secondhand. It worked really great, but the problem started when I've done that thing within the host routing table. Though my wifi is connected, I can't use the internet. whenever I tried the BB browser and any other application (e.g. facebook, opera mini, etc.) i get a message that says 'i am not in an area that supports blah blah...' or 'unable to connect to internet please try again later'. I checked the browser under browser config and it is set to my local network provider. i changed it to hotspot browser, saved it. But whenever I go back it also goes back to my local network provider. i have tried almost EVERY troubleshooting I've read on this forums and in other forums but still no luck. The problem worsened when I did a security wipe on the emails, contacts, etc.
-APN settings are disabled
-default browser set to hotspot browser
-firewall disabled
-data services are on
Everyone said that it has nothing to do with that activation enterprise so I did not configured it after wiping.
I also tried doing a hard reboot (pulling the battery out and waiting for 5 minutes before turning it on) but it will only fix the problem for sometime and it will go back again.
Calling my network provider would just suggest to get a plan when in fact, I was able to use the device's wifi well before without any plan.
I don't want to upgrade my BB to OS6 coz it easily drains the battery of device and I cannot afford doing that because I go out a lot.
I also tried changing my sim card and network provider but wasn't successful.
I also tried deleting the name of my local network provider in the service book under options.
What do you think could be the problem? Any suggestions? I really, really, REALLY, need help.
PLEASE ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

Hi miochan984,
Welcome to the support community!
A supported data plan from your mobile network provider may actually be required to use the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones application as well as the browser. I would recommend verifying with them which services they support over a Wi-Fi connection without a data plan.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi everyone,
I am currently using the Curve 9300 and I am not able to use my work email with the Blackberry Enterprise software. When I go to settings --> advanced system settings (which it says has enterprise activation) THERE IS NO ENTERPRISE ACTIVATION OPTION...
I also go to the set-up wizard and click email and my only options are yahoo, gmail, aol, windows live. There is no option for Blackberry enterprise.

Firewall Curve 9300

Não consigo desbloquear o firewall do blacberry curve 9300.
Acredito que por este motivo, não há o icone do navegador, então não consigo entrar ne internet, facebook, twitter, etc...
Aparece para mim apenas o Enable, mas não consigo clicar no icone?
Como faço para desbloquear???

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Unlocked bb curve 9300 , can't send or receive pictures

I bought an unlocked at&t bb curve 9300. At&t, Verizon doesn't work where I live, (northeast USA) I was told by my local wireless company that I could use my sim card with any at&t , or tmobile phone, as long as it was GSM, unlocked. My friend has a bb curve and I really liked it, so looked at one and it was GSM and At&T, unlocked, put my sim card in and I can call , I can text, my wifi works, but I can't send or receive pics or use the 3G. I took it to my local wireless company who then said "oh a bb, I don't know if I can make it work" After they had it for over and hour, came back and told me " no luck"
Is there anyone out there that may be able to help me or is it a hopeless cause? I really like this phone.
Thanks!

Wind doesn't offer the Z10 so you obviously brought an unlocked phone to their network. Unfortunately, the carrier (Wind in this case) controls APN settings so the ball is in their court. Keep in mind that just because a phone works on a carrier's network doesn't mean that every feature will be perfect. Since Wind doesn't support the Z10, you're on your own.
I hope that answers your question.

Accuweather on Curve 9300 never connects

Hi all,
I wonder if you can assist with a perplexing issue.
I am having a major issue with Accuweather on a Blackberry Curve 9300. when I install it and open it it simply never connects and I have noticed that my BIS service (blackberry logo next to the 3G notification) seems to disappear at the same time. Once Accuweather is closed down, my BIS service(logo) returns.
I have tried the following:
Upgraded my SIM card.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Accuweather.
Done a factory reset (loader.exe /resettofactory) on the blackberry and reloaded the OS6 firmware (6.0.0.749) for the phone and then reinstalled Accuweather.
Nothing helps, it does the same thing every time.. Please note that this is a brand new phone and all other services, such as email etc. work flawlessly. also my husband has an identical phone with the same OS 6 and the same upgraded SIM card and Accuweather works fine on his phone.
Any assistance in this regard would be really appreciated.
Thanking you,
Gail de Wet.

You tried running a diagnostic report, settings>network and connections>mobile network>press blackberry button>select diagnostic test>press bb button>run, see then if everything is working
