Strange Text in Blackberry Messenger

Anyone else had this..Started getting strange characters in the text when using Blackberry Messenger.
Totally random...sometimes it will be fine and then it will start randomly changing characters....hard to show here as I can't type them..but as if it is typing foreign characters...
It only happens in messenger.

Fonts are stored in several places, for example:
HD/System/Library/Fonts
HD/Library/Fonts
Home/Library/Fonts
Home/Library/Font Collections
The easiest way to sort them and avoid duplicates etc, is to use Font Book.app which you will find in either your Applications Folder, or in the Utility Folder.

Blackberry messenger text no clearing after sending message.

Hi
I have a blackberry 9800 torch with the latest version of blackberry messenger on it. When typing and message and sending the message, the txt stays and wont clear at all. I have to delete the txt by deleting it. Only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall messenger then it will be fine for a day or two then it starts again.
Any idea on how to fix it so that it doesnt happen at all ?

Hey jacoatnos,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you provide your BlackBerry Device Software that you're currently using on the BlackBerry Torch?
Also what version of BlackBerry Messenger you're using?

URGENT HELP REQUIRED FOR BLACKBERRY MESSENGER ON CURVE 8320

Can anyone out there please help me. I have two invitations to join Blackberry Messenger that tells me where to go and download the software. When I try to download the 4.0 and 4.1 latest software, I get the error message that my phone is not able to do so.
I also tried to download via the Internet and Iget the same error message, can anyone help as I am in love with my smartphone and my wife is jealous that I give the phone more attention than she ever got.
Also can I type mails or send SMS through the Roxio desktop Interface? I do that easily with my Nokia PC Suite but it seems impossible with my BlackBerry.
Please help.
ibk

Hi and welcome to the forums!
There is no text option in Roxio media manager, it's sole function is to manage your media between PC and BB.
Do you have a data services Package with your carrier, as well as a text package?
Please let me know!
There is no group I know of for a Blackberry widows club....but somebody ought to start one, my wife would be the first to join

BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23 Fault

I have a BlackBerry 9360 (3G, Wi-Fi), 7.1 bundle 1717 (v7.1.0.569, Platform 9.6.0.86), BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23
The team originally had the version of BlackBerry OS 6 operating system, for months to upgrade to the latest available for the team that is the Blackberry OS 7.1.
Apparently the problem started when upgrading BlackBerry Messenger to the latest version (7.0.1.23), I installed it through the BlackBerry App World for my team.
The team has about 6 months of use working perfectly, until recently that within BlackBerry Messenger application does not update the profile picture. I tried everything to fix it, between this I:
1. Off and removed the battery long enough, the problem is solved partly because after the smart phone turns on the changing profile picture (but only sometimes), and when it does, it only once since before a second consecutive update the problem recurs, have to repeat the procedure.
2. I deleted and reinstalled the application without any success.
3. Reset the entire smart phone and reinstalled all applications again, without success.
4. I've used all sorts of different connections (including 3G, 2G, Wifi) and in all alike the same problem.
5. registered the BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network, and also sent the service books through the application of e-mail settings on your smartphone. (Without success)
I would like to help me find a solution without resorting to absurd solutions like:
1. delete all contacts and add them one by one again, since I have 300 contacts! and that's not humanly possible, also a risk that after adding back the problem recurring.
2. get the battery every time you want to change my profile picture, (I do not buy a phone to get the battery every time you change a simple photo)
3. nor reset the phone, update or delete the application because as I said I already did and did not solve the problem.
otherwise I can not back up my contacts and I have the latest version of MSN BB and this does not bring this option, since all contact data is automatically saved in the cloud of my ID.
*** At first I thought it was just a glitch in the profile picture, but then I realized that after pulling off the battery did not keep him to publishing the names of my contacts, and the contacts reappeared I had removed, ie there is a problem with the transmission of data from my device to my cloud data of my ID, ie these are not synchronized properly and changes made by me (as the profile picture and editing contacts) not saved, strangely I have no problem with sending messages from my contacts in BlackBerry Messenger, I can normally chat with them, nor do I have a problem with any other application or with the transmission and receipt of data from the device. ***
Aja?, Now tell me, I do?

Hi Fanfan514
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If you're having problem with recent update , you can try reinstalling it again cleanly , but first On your Homescreen Go to Options > Device Application Management > Locate and delete BlackBerry Messenger from there.
KB10040 : How to view or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone
After deleting perform a battery pull restart by removing the Battery while is device is POWERED ON , wait a min. then re-insert it back . let your device takes a long reboot , finally from your BlackBerry Browser browse to www.blackberry.com/bbm and download the most recent version available for your device .After reinstalling see if that helps
Please Note :
If you're having BBM7 then your BBM Contacts are integrated with your BlackBerry ID , after installing when you login with your BlackBerry ID your Contacts will be restored back , but if you're having any previous persion then first do a local backup , you can backup in your Media card, refer to this KB for further help:

Blackberry Messenger, unable to view others' replies

I've had my phone working for about a week now. It's a Curve 8320. I've noticed that yesterday and today there is a BB Messenge icon and when I check the messages I can see the first few words of the message but am unable to view the remaining text. Also when I open up BB Messenger, I only see my comments and not those of my contacts. I know I have a message because of the red blinking light but for whatever reason, I'm unable to view their messages. Has anybody else had any similar experiences with their BB Messenger or have any suggestions to get it to work properly.
I have a 4GB Micro SD card.
Yvete

I have the same issue with my blackberry messenger - it only started a few weeks ago, but no incoming messages can be read.
I can sit next to my gf and send her messages, but I only see the first 4 characters of my received messages in the initial message list and then can't read messages in BB messenger.
Any ideas on fixing this?

BlackBerry Messenger - Share Prompts

Hello All,
Sorry if this has been answered before (i have done quite extensive searching on it).
Awhile ago I installed the new BlackBerry Messenger and created a group. I am also using NotifyLink to import my calendar from work into my bb calendar. However, everytime a new even comes in bb messenger prompts me if i would like to share this item with the group.
Some times there are 20 or more items that come in.
My question is there anyway to turn this so called "feature" off?
Thank You

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.

Blackberry messenger problems messaging, (Curve 8520 sorry forgot to include first time) PHOTO'S AND VIDEO OF PROBLEM INCLUDED NOW!

Hello,
I am having a problem with Blackberry messenger on my handset where the text box at the bottom of the screen goes blank where you type and I can't see the text I have written. And orange customer services are near enough useless and have told me to ask here about this problem.
Also sometimes the cursor moves and no text is written while typing.
I have un-installed the application and re-installed it with no help and performed about 10 hand held wipes.
Please can someone give me the solution to this problem before I take a hammer to this phone.
Thank you
Aeron

Actually others do have the exact same issue. I've seen it. It's not a problem now.
Upgrade your OS to the latest officially released for the 8520, 5.0.0.592
See the link below, for the download.
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8500-series-discussion-gemini/223862-latest-os-8520-5-0-0-10...
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Blackberry Messenger history

I know you need a court order to get a print out of text messages but can you get one for BBMs as well? How far back does the history go for texts and/or BBMs in the history that is obtained by the court order? Is it the entire length of the contract?

Verizon Wireless text message content is retained an average of three to five days, but never more than ten days (240 hours) from the date/time the message is delivered. After that, the message content is overwritten by our message center server and cannot be retrieved. Due to system limitations, only terminating content may be available. Additionally, system outages, upgrades and other unforeseen events may result in Verizon Wireless not capturing content.
For information on your messages from Blackberry Messenger, please contact Blackberry directly as their servers may have different settings and limitations. For options to contact Blackberry please visit the link below:

I just checked on my BB BOLD 9900, and the contacts are all located inside the CONTACT of the phone, I can not add any directly into the BBM, but I can make any contact part of the BBM by using the Invite to BBM in the menu, so since the BBM contact are in the CONTACT of the phone they are backed up, but they may need to be re-invited after the restore is completed

Accidentally Moved Blackberry Messenger Into Wrong Folder - How Do I Move Back?

Hi Guys, I accidentally moved Blackberry Messenger into the SMS and MMS Folder instead of just moving the icon around.
Please advise how I move it out of this folder and back to the Home Screen?
Thanks,
PETER

Scroll to the icon > press the Menu key > Move to Folder > and choose which one you would like it put in, Home Screen, if that is where you want it.

Blackberry messenger 5.0.0.33 - options to send pics or file or voice note is not available

I updated the blackberry messenger from the pre-loaded version 4.7.1 to the latest version of 5.0.0.33. I was able to send pictures, voice note, and file during a chat session by clicking the trackball to bring up the menu and click "send voice note" or "send picture". This option is no longer there in the 5.0.0.33 even though the user manual indicate this function is there.
Anyone has the same problem? Where can I download the previous version (4.7.1 for tour) and how to re-install the previous version of the blackberry messenger?
Thanks for your help

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You have not updated to the current BBM version...you are on an old version. The current version is 5.0.0.57...

Very strange text on screen - Server 10.2.8

One place I work has a Mac network based around a G4 1.25 Ghz server running 10.2.8 Server and some Mk II iMacs running normal 10.2.8. Yesterday when I came in the server was showing a black screen with the following text scrolling down the screen in great lines:
diskOs9; Ox5 (UNDEFINED) <- written down in haste, I think I got the O as a letter not a number 0
... touching mouse or keyboard added further strange text and then it would return to the above.
Totday it all seems happy. But somehow I doubt if this is healthy. Any advice greatly appreciated. I'm trying to persuade the outgoing CEO not to set in train the acquisition of PCs, if only because I genuinely think it would end up costing more in the long run, and the place is hard up already!
I'm also wondering if the batteries on these machines are getting old - the network dates from 2003. Some of the last saved dates on the server are definitely totally wrong. Moreover there are strange things happening too; last week my files were dated things like 1911, 1942 etc etc, this week they are perfectly OK.
Getting worried!

How do i find out who my blackberry messenger service provider is?

Hi bought a second hand vodafone blackberry in UK - now in barbados - want to use the blackberry messenger service .Went to the local phone companyies who explained the phone current subscriber needs to deactivate the service. I rang Vodafone uk states their are not the messenger subscriber for the phone. Is their a way on the phone i can find out who is the current subcriber is - and to de-activate it so i can get the activated with a local provider ? Thanks

hello,
please read the following article from the public knowledge base:
KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
The previous owner of the device has linked his device to his carrier. In the article, in step 2 of the "seller" part he is supposed to have released the PIN of the device, so that you can link that PIN to your own carrier.
You need to contact the previous owner and ask them to do step 2.
