Switch b/w edge and GSM on Blackberry Curve 9380

Hey few days back I bought Blackberry Curve 9380. Basically I'm new to Blackberry Universe.
Generally when I'm at home, I prefer to use GSM only coz I have Wi-Fi. But when I swtich off data usage, connect to Wi-Fi, the Browser and other internet applications say that they are unable to internet.
Also guide me how to switch b/w GSM & edge network...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First Your need BIS - Blackberry Internet Serives subscription from Vodafone IN, this is the unique feature which seperates other mobile devices from Blackberry.
Browser, Facebook,twitter and all other apps require BIS subscription. Only appworld will work in Wi-Fi mode.
You can change the Browser settings to Hotspot to work in wifi, but i think in OS 7 it will detect automatically.
if you have BIS subscription 3G is free.

My blackberry Curve 9380 won't switch on

Hi, my blackberry curve 9380 won't switch on and i have had it on charge since last night. The red light or green light isnt on and it doesnt want to switch on even after i take the battery, sim and SD card out? It is just under a year old. Can anyone help because i need my phone to be on urgently!!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

My BlackBerry Curve 9380 is lost/stolen

Please help me...
How can I track my lost BlackBerry Curve 9380 by its pin? It has been stolen and I don't know what to do.
Note:
I don't have BlackBerry protect account and I think the thief through away my SIM card but am sure he must not be switched off the device.

Hello,
Please see this helpful thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Device-software-for-BlackBerry/Lost-or-Stolen-BlackBerry-What...
It is a pity you did not activate the FREE BB Protect app...it can be quite useful in your situation. But, like insurance, the time to prepare for this situation is BEFORE the need arises.
Good luck!

My Blackberry Curve 9380's screen won't turn on!

My Blackberry Curve 9380's display screen won't turn on! The flashing red light still appears so I guess I am still able to receive texts. I can also receive calls; my ring tone goes off but I cannot answer! I have to unlock it and I can't do anything on a touch screen that's virtually useless now. I've done so many battery pulls yet it doesn't work.
I did drop it but it wasn't very hard. My bb fell when it was in my rubber case and the fall was around knee length (I am very short only 5'0). My friend said its possible that the backlight broke. If it is true, how much does it cost to repair it? My warranty expired a few weeks ago...
My friend also said there could be something else wrong with it. Like a downloaded an app that had a corrupt file (this has happened to me before and the phrase "Uncaught exception java.lang.error" kept popping up every time I did a battery pull) or a programming error. I tried Jl_Cmder and I've done reset to factory. I've even tried to wipe everything completely. "The device will reboot to a white screen with a '507' error" this didn't happen... It did reboot but nothing can be seen. I regret it deeply ...
I'm sorry this is so long but please can someone help me? ):

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. Even though it's out of warranty, you should check first with your mobile provider for a repair estimate.
Sorry!

Hi ritikapal
Welcome to the Community
Sorry to hear about your problem but As you also known that this is just a user support forum ,here user like you and us try to help each other as much possible.
On your Home screen Go to Options > Device > Application Management > Move your Trackpad left or right on the screen to CPU USAGE... check which application(s) is using the CPU resorces.
Regarding your device problem if anybody told you that BlackBerry are meant only for calling I think he has a little knowledge about BlackBerry.Your device can handle much more application but it depends on the way we use it.pressing the menu key for a few second  will pop up a screen which will show all running programs in the background ,generally five will always there ( Home, BBM, Message,Phone , Browser ) look if any other apps. are running.
        Always try to Close Applications Correctly - Avoid using the End key to close applications as this simply minimizes the application and leaves it running in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select the Close or Exit option to exit the application.If programs run in the background it will also lead to Battery drainage and also device hangs .Please have a look at this Article :
  KB14320 How to maximize battery life and free memory on the BlackBerry smartphone .
Try following those steps mentioned at the KB to see if your problem resolves.
If problem presists try it by youself :
1.Locate your Carrier and Download the OS you desire from here and Install it in your PC or Laptop Carriers
(make sure you are downloading for the same model as you have )
2. Download and install the latest BlackBerry desktop software from here BlackBerry desktop software
Then if it allow perform your backup of your device.
3.Search your C: drive for Vendor.xml and delete them, there may be one or two vendor.xml ( On your Pc change your folders option to show hidden files/folders ) :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\Windows UserName\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
  4. Use BBSAK from http://bbsak.org/   and wipe the device then after you get the error 507 ( no OS ) then proceed to next step.
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. (For 64-bit Vista or Windows 7, the path will be C: > Program Files x86 > Common Files > Research In Motion > AppLoader) double click Loader.exe.

Blackberry curve 9380 keeps crashing

hey,
my Blackberry curve 9380 (whcih i've had for 3 weeks) keeps crashing all the time, the loading square thingie appears and then it's stuck. after a while it even gives an error message. i tried pushing buttons, but the only solution so far is taking out the battery and re-installing it. then restart the phone (which normally takes 4 seconds but when it has crashed it takes 5 minutes...) i've installed the latest blackberry software, so that can't be it... can anyone please tell me why my blackberry curve 9380 keeps freaking out like that?
siincerely,
Kjaaps

the error message, i can't give any details, since i have given my cell back to the wtore as it still is in waranty and so they will search for the errors.
as for the loading clock, sometimes it just appears and then all of a sudden my cell blocks...., don't think that it's normal that that thing appears and blocks even when you're not using internet, or clearing cache, history, cookies etc... now i know this sounds vague and all, but since i've only had this cellphone for 3 weeks, i hadn't figured everything out.

About Blackberry Curve 9380 Battery Warranty

Hi,
I have bought a BB Curve 9380 from Sharaf DG 4 U (Mirdiff Centre, UAE) dated 30-06-12. The phone is dead now as a result of a faulty Battery. I went to the Customer Service at Sharaf DG 4 U today and they are saying that there is no Blackberry warranty for Battery from the Manufacturer.
Guys, kindly help me out in finding a solution for this. Is it true that the BB Customers are not eligible for 6 months Battery warranty??
Looking forward to receive your opinions,
Regards,
Jaimon Joseph

Blackberry Curve 9380 stuck on Platform screen

Two days ago my Blackberry 9380 randomly turned itself off and went the Blackberry loading screen and kept loading only until three quaters of the way, then stopping. I took the battery out three times and each time it did that, then it loaded and went to the 'Blackberry Platform 9.32.0.51' screen and has been there since. When I click any of my apps it says 'Error starting net_rim_bb_file_explorer:' Could you help fix this problem? Thanks.

Try starting the device in Safe Mode.

Randomy connection switches between 3G, EDGE, and home WiFi

I'm working on a Calibre/Stanza connection between my iPhone and my laptop so I can read my .lit/.mobi/.txt/.pdf/.etc ebooks all on one device: the iPhone. It's a portability and convenience thing.
However, the connection between the two devices and their respective apps will only work over WiFi.
My iPhone will connect to the home WiFi, alongside the laptop, no problem, but then randomly switch to 3G when I load various apps. It actually matters with the Calibre/Stanza thing because both devices must be on the same WiFi.
I turned off 3G. The phone now switches to EDGE whenever I load the Stanza app. There doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the EDGE option in the iPhone settings.
How do I give my phone no place to go but the WiFi? How do I turn off the EDGE bit?
Both Calibre(laptop) and Stanza(iPhone) seem to be in otherwise perfect working order.

You cannot force the iPhone to use 3G. While you can force it to use EDGE by toggling off 3G, your iPhone will automatically drop down to EDGE when it cannot get a good 3G connection. If you want to use only WiFi, simply place it in AIrplane Mode. Note that while in Airplane Mode you cannot receive calls or text messages.

Blackberry curve 9380 and Mac

I do not succeed in synchronizing my new MacBook Air OS X 10.9.4 with planner and address data stored on BlackBerry 9380 Curve. If I use BlakBerry Desktop for Mac, the message is "Sync Services is not active on this device. Please activate it" . But it seems to be impossible for a Mac with OS X 10.9.4. On the other hand, if I try with BlackBerry Link, I get this reply "Your smartphone must be equipped with BlackBerryu 10 software". Which is not the software running on 9380. As a result, I'm unable to utilize 9380. How can I fix it?

Hi bilal7777
With those higher OS releases the option only " 2G " is not available ,your device will automatically catch the signal it recieves ,you can set it to " 2G & 3G " it will do the same as it was before.

Are you getting this error regularly or on specific websites.Try clearing your device Browser data at a regular interval if you are a heavy user and also a battery pull restart occasionally. To clear browser data Open Browser > Press the Menu Key > Options > Scroll down to " Clear Browser Data " ( Mark all field ) then hit Clear Now .Then perform a battery pull restart like this device POWERED ON remove the Battery wait a min. then re-insert it back.
Try it and see if problem resolves.

Data usage in BlackBerry Curve 9380

I am on a 250Mb allowance contract but don't know how to check how much data I have used so far. I am on Orange and I spoke to an advisor who said its best to reset the counter every month but I cant seem to find the counter. Any help??

Hello Weezy12,
Welcome to the forums.
You can see the life time data usage by doing the following. ***Note*** This number cannot be reset and you should any you should always rely on your wireless service provider for the most up to date and accurate information.
Go to Options - Device - Device and Status Information Once on this screen type buyr
You will see a new field at the bottom that will show your total data usage since the device was purchased. You will need to note this number on the first day of your billing cycle every month to get an idea of how much data you are using.
Hope this helps. Have a good day.
