Problems with a nuked Blackberry

Hi there,
I, like many others, am having problems with my nuked blackberry 9300. It is always in a reboot cycle, can't get in to the device, nothing. I've tried following the steps for restoring using AppLoader but most of these help posts tell you to press 'next' as soon as USB-PIN : UNKNOWN comes up, but whenever I connect my device it always displays my pin, and not that the pin is unknown. What do I do when this happens?
Thanks!

Continue to the next step...if it recognizes your device, you should be able to continue.

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced. I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced. My current one is working OK but does stick a bit. Seems to get worse over time. My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem. Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen. My wife has the Tour as well. She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it. It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts. When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse. Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster. As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster. If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play. My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine. I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this

Problems with the O2 blackberry data package on my Curve 3G.

I have already informed O2 about this but they claim that I should be used the blackberry support services, but nothing there helps me!
I got my Blackberry Curve 3G on September 9th this year and I put on the Blackberry Data Package bolt-on onto my phone on September 16th. I then received a text to say they've taken £5 from my credit and it will be up and running in the next 24 hours. Its now September 19th and my BBM is not working at all and I am extremely upset with the services and behaviour I have received from both O2 and Blackberry.
Is there any way you can help? If this fails, I shall be forced to go back to the shop from where I got my Blackberry from and ask for their help.
Many thanks, Jade.

Sync Problem with Outlook and Blackberry Calendars

I am hoping someone has an "easy" solution to this problem.
I am using Desktop Sync (BIS) and synching it to my work Outlook 2007 mailbox.
Normally my calendar entries should sync to the Blackberry calendar associated with my work email address. Somehow, over the course of the past several days, some of my syncing was occuring with the the VZW Blackberry calendar. I didn't catch the problem in time and now I have work calendar entries correctly listed on my Blackberry, but in two different calendars.
I have since lost some of those entries originally created in Outlook. They are on the Blackberry, but on the wrong Calendar. When I sync with Desktop, the work entries on the VZW Calendar are not getting over to Outlook.
So the question is - is there a way to "move" the entries in one BB calendar, over to the other calendar? Thanks.

I would love to know the answer to this problem as well. I had the same problem even when I downgraded back to 5.0. It always worked fine before. Very Frustrating. To get around it clearing out all the settings on my handheld. I just have to click no every time it asks if I want to clear all databases on the phone before sync. It still syncs but doesn't change my settings. Annoying but works until they get this aggravation fixed.

Problem with set-up: Blackberry ID- country and language

Hello, I am setting up my Playbook tablet for the first time and have hit a snag on the third or fourth screen. I am supposed to enter my country and language for Blackberry ID, but I see only 'No country indicated' and I find no way to enter a country and language, as prompted. According to the tutorial, this screen should show a language option immediately. I went to get a Blackberry ID, through my e-mail address but it is obviously not 'connected' in any way (yet) to my Playbook tablet.
I hope someone might help me with this and I will certainly appreciate said help! Must say the obvious, I am new to this forum, but I am sure I am posting my question in the right forum.
Thanks a lot!

No worries, It could have been that you lost connection. Doing this will make sure that you are connected. Sometimes you may need to delete the connection and try setting up again and then going further will display what you are looking for.

Problems with AIM on Blackberry 7100i...Please help

I got the 7100i off ebay with AIM preinstalled...it didn't work. I then called nextel and they told me that there was a compatibility issue with the new AIM and this phone...so the guy gave me a web address to download the aim from. It wasn't an address from AIM.com or Blackberry.com...and of course I didn't write it down...and now Nextel tells me that they have never had issues with AIM and this phone. I can download and install AIM on the phone but when I put in my correct (and yes it is the correct one because I also tried putting the same password in my computer's AIM) it tells me that "service not enablesd for this handheld" but since it's third party software...Nextel can't help me. Anyone know how to fix this?

The best advice I can offer is to dump the AOL AIM client altogether, and use a third-party instant messaging application that supports AIM.
For example, Adium X is a full featured IM client that supports AIM as well as many other IM protocols.
It's very stable on Tiger, and it's light years ahead of the official AIM client from AOL.
Try it out!

Big problem with my new blackberry passport

i have been using blackbeery passort for 10 yrs now
i bought new blackberry passport
its been 29 days and today it wont start up
it keeps rebooting and wont start
please help help help
also which number do i ring for warranty
thank you

Try and use Link to reload the device software. I'm not sure if you will lose your personal data or not, but my guess is you will. No worries if you have a backup.
If you can't reload the OS with Link, use an autoloader. (See stick at top of Passport forum.) You will lose your data on the device with this approach.

I cant receive emails, is this a problem with using a Blackberry?

My emails are not filtering through to the 'mail' application on my mac.
I use Virgin, also have a blackberry. I can get the emails from the Virgin site, the emails are coming through on my blackberry.
I can send emails from 'mail'
The error is - The mail server denied access to the account "xxxx" because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Please try again later.
The server error encountered was: user mailbox locked
When I look at connection doctor the error is POP account failed, please make sure user name and password are correct.
As far as I am aware I have not changed anything.
I have been told that the blackberry might not be logging off?
Has anyone got any answers please?

I am having this issue as well after upgrading to 5.0.1

Problems with email on Blackberry

I have an email message that I cannot delete. When I click on the email, the only thing I see to the right is a blank white screen rather than seeing the email itself. How can I delete this email from my inbox?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am assuming you are using a PlayBook. When you see your list of email messages on the left, you should see a small garbage can icon on the lower right. Highlight the icon and tap the garbage can. The email should be deleted from your PlayBook. To delete many, swipe down from the top of the screen, Tap Select. A small box appears next to each email. Tap the box and a check mark appears. After you check all you want to delete, tap the garbage can. All emails checked should vanish. Once gone, they are gone. You cannot get them back although they may be on your email provider server.

Having problem with SMS.

Still a student here, so please help me out.
I think i have the same problem with a few BlackBerry Users out there. I can't view SMS even though there's clearly a notification stating that i've a new SMS. I need to go to View SMS inbox to view the message.
Your kindness will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

Try a simple reboot on the device, first >> With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

Hi Blackberry Team,
I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection.
I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version.
I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

Multiple Problems with BlackBerry Curve 9300

Hi everyone
Model info: BlackBerry 9300 (sG, Wi-Fi)
OS version: v5.0.0.846 (Bundle 1440, Platform 6.3.0.39)
Yesterday night, i get the little envelope saying that I have a sms message but when i click on the icon (sms & mms) on the screen, i couldnt see my latest sms message but infact i could see some faulty messages which i couldnt delete and i could only see half of the list and the other half is empty with blanks. In order to view them I have to go to view folder and select my SMS inbox. It was not like this for the past few days, as i could straight see all the latest sms message just a click on the screen icon.
The only thing I have changed is that i accidently clicked on this:
At the menu of the SMS and MMS, i click on Options - Inbox Settings - Other Message Types - SMS AND MMS <<<i had click on this and save it accidentally and i am not able to normal view my sms message again.
Can anyone tell me how to change it so my sms messages could be seen without having to go to view folder and select my SMS inbox.
Another problem, some of the sms message is undeletable. No matter what method i have try it refuse to delete. I am still able to use it to send message but there will not be any message shown there where normally it should. Can any help on this? I have tried looking in saved folder but there is nothing in there to delete or all the option shown in the menu but there is no solution to this.
And the trackpad, Thought there are times it is smooth scrolling but there are times i had hard time to move it up and down left or left. Worst is sometimes i had to mover many time before the trackpad move up.
Please Help me for the above.
Thank You
Karen
