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.

Blackberry 8900 Curve

Hi All,
I'm new to this site, but love blackberry phones. I need some help though.
I'm looking into getting a Blackberry curve 8900 in the UK. Will this phone work in the USA?
Thank you
Mark

Yes, it will.
Get it unlocked from your carrier in the UK so that you can use while travelling. They should do so for free.

BlackBerry 8900 Curve - images in Excel

Hi, I'm a new user with a Curve on Verizon. I am able to download Excel attachments successfully but cannot view photo's that are cut and pasted into Excel pages. This is an important corporate communication issue from offshore, and a co-worker tells me he can view them with his i-phone. I have searched the site and googled the web but did not see a solution except get it changed to a pdf or jpg but this is not an option at this point.

I have an unknown icon on my Blackberry 8900 curve display...?

The symbol is a black circle with a white arrow pointing South West and a white star in a red background in the top right of the black circle. My key pad is also not working when I want to type a name to go the the number it goes to the short cut of the functions. Any ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Are your two issues related? Different? The same? I can't tell...
That icon is an indicator from AppWorld of an available update. Go into MyWorld (log in if you have paid apps) and check each app...it will tell you if an update is available. Then, go to Messages and find a message from AppWorld...deal with that (read, delete, etc.) and the icon will then go away.
Cheers!

BlackBerry 8900 Curve - Message Alert Tone

Hi, Is there anyway I am able to change the message/email alert tone?
At the moment the only way I get notified of new mail/sms is buy a very quiet beep and the light flashing.
Are you able to assign a ringtone to different aspects of receiving new data?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes you can. Just go into Profiles | Advanced. Next click into the "Active" profile. In this next screen you'll be looking at the different categories in which you can modify the ringer/tone settings. So in your case for emails you would go into the "Messages" category and change the Out of Holster, Ring Tone settings.SO for example for Calendar reminders you would edit the Calendar category. For text messages you would edit the SMS Text category.

Blackberry 8520 curve hangs, suddenly white screen comes and the only solution is to re-insert battery with power source on?

My Blackberry 8520 curve suddenly hangs giving a white screen and when i restart it - the screen remains white. After i put it into charge - then only a successful start is done. So the only solution as of now i have - is whenever my blackberry hangs - i need to remove the battery - insert it again - and immediately put it into charging via USB/Electric-Power. Even if i re-insert the battery - the white screen comes - unless and until i put it into charging Earlier i was guessing - my battery was weak - but no such problem. pls advise.

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.

Hello antoni,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums
It sounds like there may be an issue with the device software or hardware. I would suggest getting access to a PC with your USB cable and device then attempt to reload the device software.
Try these steps first.
If you have issues getting the reload to begin, connect the device, go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and click on Loader.exe. (Make sure you have the latest device software downloaded and installed on the PC) Press next on the first wizard screen until it takes you to the connection screen. Next, pop the battery out of the device and reinsert it. If it comes up with the PIN or PIN unknown click next and try to proceed through the application load.
If it still fails to reload the device software you may need to contact your point of sale for replacement options.
Cheers!

Problem opening email attachment Blackberry 8900

Hi I am a recent user of Blackberry 8900 on Airtel in India, I have 2 email accounts Gmail and another work account on Rediffmailpro with pop3 access, I can open word, xls & pdf attachments in Gmail but not on my Rediffmail Pro account.
I was earlier using Blackberry connect on Nokia E61 and everything worked fine.
Also when I open Blackberry Maps the screen just becomes blank, I can use Google maps. Does the Blackberry maps require a separate service from my Cellphone provider. I already have GPRS active on my phone
Can some one help
Best regards
Uday

Video recording Blackberry 8900 resolution

Recently bought an 8900 curve as an upgrade to my contract and it says on the Blackberry website that the 8900 curve records video at 480x352 resolution. Looking in the options on video recorder the most I can set it to is 240x180. I have noticed that the videos recorded are .3gp format. Is it possible to record at the higher resolution on this device? It's part of the reason why I went for it in the first place.

I would also like a response from RIM regarding this issue. Pre-release models of the Curve 8900 had a camera capable of at least 320 x 240 resolution video capture, but the official release models are limited to 240 x 180. Why?

Hi please help me for my blackberry 8900

hi please help me for my blackberry 8900 reload software. i make a password but stil not working now the screen is all white and the writen only is reload software 513....please help me

Hi bheth_16,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
If the Desktop Software is unable to connect to your BlackBerry, try the following:
1. Verify that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and BlackBerry Device Software are installed on the computer.
2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert.
3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer.
4. On the BlackBerry Desktop Manager main screen, click Application Loader.
5. Click Start.
6. Click Options to add or remove applications.
7. Click Next.
8. Click Next.
9. Click Finish.
10. When the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
This will remove all personal data from your BlackBerry. To restore your data you will need a previously taken backup file.

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.
