Severe 8900 curve problems...

I purchased a 8900 curve off amazon and it was working fine for two months. Yesterday however, i had problems while entering my password to unlock the keypad. Although i entered the right password it repeatedly denied me access. I became fed up and removed the battery, hoping that this would solve my problems. When i put the battery back in nothing seemed to work anymore, and the only thing happening till now is the light flashing red in a certain sequence. I'm completely baffled about what to do so i would really appreciate some help.

8900 curve CALENDAR BIG PROBLEM

Hello. Scuze me if my english isn`t so good. I have a big problem with my agenda(calendar). If for example i have an alarm set to 12:00 it`s possible (not always but in most of the cases) that the phone give me another alarm for another hour or even another day. This alarm it`s written first and whne i push the o.k. button the phone give me the original alarm. The problem is very annoying because after that the false alarm doesn`t ring at her time. I couldn`t get a pattern and i don`t know what causes this. It`s important for me because I use this phone as a bussiness phone and agenda(calendar) was always very important for me and i choose my phones because of their agenda. I must tell you that i think that this problem is not so rare because i had another 8900 curve with the same problem. I was with it with one problem of sound quality and this problem at an authorized service and i told to the man at the service about this problem and he said that it is a software problem. In 4 days I receive the phone back with the same problems. I came back at the service and i give it back. In 4 days I get a new phone but SURPRIZE with the same problem. Please verify your phones. Put many alarms and see if they are the same or if you know the solution please help me to solve this problem or simply tell me where should I ask for help.
I must tell that the problem are with alarms and not with apointment. I use alarm because i have more than 20 of a day at work.
Thank you very much.
Claudiu

It`s diificult for me to answer because i don`t have my phone right now. It is in service again. The same problem with the sound and I told them again about the `alarm` problem.Maybe i will receive again a new phone.
Answer for the first question: I use several alarms every day and for most alarms - not all - that are configured to ring i receive first the text for another alarm, alarm which is configured to ring later at another hour or day and hour, alarm which will not ring anymore at her time to ring this is very annoying because i lose the alarm and my meeting program is tuined. What happens next, second event is the fact that If I push the o.k buton i receive the original text for the right alarm.
Answer for the second question: I bought my bberry device an year ago, before that I use another tipe of phone ten years. I hope that i answer exactly because i told you before that i don`t have my phone rigth now. I cannot use the hour schedule (meeting) because i have many tasks to do and this require events of 5 minutes or less that1s why i use alarms. It`s not the clock alarm. In my organizer menu i have the comand new alarm..i can tipe the name of the alarm and the hour. With this kind of alarms i had the problem. Yes are the same type as the clock alarm but the organizer permit many alarms of that type. It`s easyer to organize the shedule with alarms of that type.
I hope that you understand what I write.
Thank you very much

How to get my software on my 8900 curve and view home security cameras ?

hello, i was hoping to find a solution on how to access my home security cameras on my 8900 curve ; was told it was possible but the attet tech didnt know how exactly ! is there a way to download my software and view my home cameras on my curve ?

hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You will need to do one (or more) of several things:
1) Find out if the maker of your cameras has an app for your BB. Do whatever they say to do to make it work.
2) Create a compatible web page from your cameras that you can then view using your BB web browser. Compatible media streams can be found in this KB:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
I think this has been done before -- do a wide search on this forum and see if you can find the answers that others have found in the past.

Desktop Manager refuses to recognise 8900 Curve.

This has been an ongoing problem for a while, the Desktop Manager refuses point blank to recognise the 8900 Curve when it's connected to the PC by USB, Bluetooth isn't an option with the PC. It did recognise the device initially but just stopped. I have tried removing and reinstalling the software, from the CD and the latest version from the net with/without the PC's security software active, rebooting the PC and the Blackberry before connecting, all Blackberry/RIM features are checked as safe in every part of the security software. In short I have tried everything that has been suggested on every forum I can find.
The USB connection is not the problem, it charges the device and it functions in mass storage mode but nothing else. On the Desktop Manager at the bottom LHS, Device Connected (PIN): None and nothing I have tried changes that.
Any suggestions for overcoming this extrememly exasperating problem would be greatly appreciated. It's my wife's phone and she is desperate to get some music onto it but unless I can get the software and phone to speak to each other that's not going to happen! She got the Blackberry because of it's features and at the moment the majority of them are useless because it doesn't connect with the PC.

HI there!
A couple of things...
First --- 8900 <> Storm. Storm = 9500 or 9530. 8900 = Curve.   So, which device is it that we're talking about?
Second --- here are a bunch of troubleshooting links:
KB02640 Troubleshooting USB connections
KB15486 Top 10 BlackBerry smartphone and BlackBerry Desktop Manager troubleshooting tips
KB00019 No PIN displayed in BlackBerry Desktop Redirector
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Cheers!

BB 8900 cosmetic problem on my phone

recently i have bought a BB 8900 Curve. To my surprise in less than 5 months the outer jacket of the phone (steel like plated jacket) is peeling of from various places spoling the entire look of the phone. What is more surprising that I am clueless on whom I should raise this complaint. Technical support of BlackBerry says that the local service provider will have to address this and the local service provider is clueless about this & doesn't seem to be bothered. If someone is facing a similar problem, pls share on how to get this rectified or event better any blackberry official can reply to this post. Very unexpected of a BlackBerry phone - either on the quality or on the after sales service support.

Sure they do. The carrier retailer IS the mechanism for all after sales support and warranty.
That is where you need to turn. If you can't get satisfaction from them on a reasonable matter, you should start of the chain of that company.

Hello vishalbhansali,
Back up your BlackBerry data and do what is called a clean software reload.
KB11320 will show you how to do this software reload. Before you restore any data, use the device to try and replicate the white screen.
It is recommended to restore selected data after doing this type of software reload. You can follow KB23680 to do an advanced restore and restore the essential databases, such as Contacts, Calendar, Memos, Emails etc.

8900 curve loud speaker comes on when for 3 seconds when i answer a call?!?!

8900 curve loud speaker comes on when for 3 seconds when i answer a call,
i use the green answer key to answer.
is this something in the settings that is wrong?

I had exactly the same problem when I first received my phone. I was using an old sim card (non 3G) which I had been using for over 3 years. To solve the issue I got a new 3G sim from the network which resolved the problem.

I have the latest version of free Quicktime, Itunes and unable to view video on my PC all i get is a pink screen the audio is OK i have uninstalled and installed several times same problem, i have a Iphone 4 and unable to view the content.

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

What's the latest OS for 8900 Curve?

I recently got the 8900 Curve and want to make sure I have the latest OS on my phone. Right now I have 4.6.1.315...is this the most recent one?

The operating system for your phone is provided by your carrier. Check with them to see what their latest operating software is that they support.

8900 Curve - HTML 4.01 and JavaScript 1.5

Hi. I am trying to run a chess Web app (www.gameknot.com) that requires HTML 4.01 and JavaScript 1.5, so far unsuccessfully when it comes to moving pieces. Does my 8900 Curve support HTML 4.01 and JavaScript 1.5? Thank you. Jeff

Hi Jeff. I'm also trying to make JS works, in my case using a PhoneGap application so it browses local html/JS instead of www (but it's html&javascript after all). I had some troubles when it comes to move items like small images even though the other JS functions seem to work fine. It seems we need to focus on which properties/functions related to positionning are available on the BB browsers.

Icons/Applications have suddenly dissapeared from my BB 8900 Curve

I have a BB 8900 Curve and it has been working fine up till now. A few applications/icons have dissapeared from my phone and I haven't changed anything. So now my icon for textmessaging is gone, also the BBmessager, and the icon profiles that shows if you want the phone to ring/quiet.
I did not hide them in the menu.
Can anyone please help me !!!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
See if you have moved them in to a folder?
Try a simple reset: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Look all over again, and click the menu to SHOW ALL just in case.

Install a swedish operating system on my blackberry 8900 curve

I just bought a blackberry 8900 curve in India. I'm moving back to Sweden in a couple of weeks.
I have two questions; Does the blackberry 8900 curve support the swedish letters Å, Ä and Ö? Or is it possible to install a swedish operating system on the phone?

Virtualbox is one of the simpler programs to do so, plus it only costs the Windows license. Same with Apple's Boot Camp, but it requires using the special Boot Camp partition creator which could result in data loss if you aren't careful. See my user tip on the many various options available.

My children enters wrong password several times on problem my ipad ..., the was it is indicated that it was disabled ... how can i access my ipad thanks please help ... thank you

my children enters wrong password several times on problem my ipad ..., the was it is indicated that it was disabled ... how can i access my ipad thanks please help ... thank you

If it's reached the point where you can't try re-entering the code then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

Is the curves problem fixed?

I abandoned lightroom 4 when the curves problem was identified.
Is the curves problem really fixed in lightroom 4.1?
I have many images that I have modified in lightroom 3.6 with extreme curve adjustments. Will these images import correctly into lightroom 4.1

Hello Victoria, Thank you for your reply. I am looking forward to importing my catelog to Lightroom 4.1. This however poses another question. When I open LR4.1 it appears to use the same catelog as my LR3.6.
When I import my LR 3.6 catelog to LR4.1 will it convert the existing 3.6 catelog or make a new LR4.1 catelog?
If I wish to continuing having 3.6 available after converting to 4.1 Will different catelogs be maintained?
How do I import my entire 3.6 catelog if I did not do it when LR4.0 was originally installed?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Jim
