Updating apps on Blackberry Curve 8520

I hope that someone can help me...
I have been trying to update some apps on my Curve for a while. When I go to appworld on my phone and try to run the upgrade, it says "facebook is not available for download from Blackberry App world"....
Then I tried to upload it on my PC and I go to the appworld page and it asks me to connect it to my payoal account. I go through the steps and get the confirmaiton from paypal, but then go back to appwork and get the folowing "The PayPal email address you provided is not correct. Please log in with the email address(it lists my e-mail address)"......
This is my correct e-mail...the only one that I have....what can i do....??

1. Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Now, try using AppWorld to upgrade again.
2. You can upgrade Facebook by using your BlackBerry browser to visit www.blackberry.com/facebook

HELP!!!! Error 80003 App World Blackberry Curve 8520

Hi,
I have been getting the error message for the past 2 months. I've tried the option of setting via the Advanced Options > TCP/IP > APN and ticking the APN box and typing "Internet", and my App World still gives me the same error message, I rebooted my phone after the setting and tried to access the app world, still got an error message, i tried it without rebooting and the results are still the same. What do I do now?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB29613 The error "BlackBerry Identity installation failed. Please try again later. (80003)" is displayed within BlackBerry App World
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message or code, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
Good luck and let us know!

Updating blackberry curve 8520 OS

Hi,
Can anyone pass me a link to the tutorial on how to update blackberry curve 8520 OS?
Thanks ahead.

Updating the OS will not ruin any carrier services or provisioning it will only update the OS on the blackberry.

I need help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520

I nee d help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520 everytime i go here in blackberry site and check for update my phone it says try again.. and no updates for your software, how is that? I have v4.6 please help meee

You do, for sure, have your BB data plan active and are able to get email, etc.?
That is required for updating to OS 5.0.
If the OS you downloaded is not specifically for the carrier that is branded on the device you will need to install the OS to the computer and then when you're done, delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader.
Then after you delete that, in that same apploader folder, is a file called Loader.exe. Double click that to install the OS to your device.

Attempting to update blackberry curve 8520 to version 5.0 bundle 1168 timing out

I am attempting to update my blackberry curve 8520 to version 5.0 bundle 1168. However when it attempts to install it reaches module 386 of 399 it gives a message that an error has occured while downloading software and to check the internet connection. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I have tried unistalling all the software ie desktop manager and reinstalling and it makes no difference? help.

Hi there,
Try manually downloading and installing the OS to your computer first. You can do this by searching for your carrier's name in the following link and then simply download the OS installer fir your device. Once you've done that, install the file to your computer and you can then perform the upgrade.
Here's the link:

In my BlackBerry Curve 8520 any application is not working

Hello..
My name is Hamza Qureshi. I am using blackberry curve 8520.
My service provider is Airtel Prepaid.I am facing some problems when i am using 2g plan in my curve 8520 then except browser not a single application is not working like (whatapp, wechat, line, operamine browser) not a single 1. May i know the reason?
I had reset my phone last month and from that point of time i m facing the same problem infact the wifi is also not working, when I connected my phone with the wifi of my home is shows that its connected but its not working.
I thought the problem is that my blackberry id and bis plan is not activated in then i recharge it for 1 week and create by bb id and that particular period of 1 week I downloaded the application but after that I am facing the same problem so can any one help me in this.
Right now i am using 2g plan but except browser nothing is working not a single application nor a wifi.
please help me I wanted to use these app on 2g plan not on BB plan or airtel.
So kindly provide me a proper resolution regarding my query.
I am requesting with warm warm warm regards

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
There's pretty much no diagnosing those -- they are the equivalent of the random errors in Windows for which tracing the root cause is fruitless. Basically, these are the last out in the programming code -- some event occurred for which there is no handler in the code. The fix is a code update that handles the event...but, again, knowing what the event is is pretty much impossible. So, there are a few things to try:
Sometimes, the code simply becomes corrupt and needs to be refreshed -- just like a 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.
If it won't boot up cleanly, then you may need to try Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
There might be an updated code set from the carrier -- check them via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
The toughest possible cause is a badly behaving app. To find it, there are a couple of options. One is to see if you can read the log file:
Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type 'lglg'. (You will not see anything while you type).This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably many pages) untill you see a line that says 'uncaught execption'. Click on this line. The name of the app will be in the info. Alternative methods for bringing up the logs are in this KB:
KB05349How to enable, access, and extract the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone
The other method is to remove apps one at a time, waiting a while in between (I usually recommend a week), until the problem ceases...thereby discovering the offending app. Still another method is to reload the BB OS cleanly, leaving some time between adding other apps onto the BB so as to be able to determine exactly which one is the cause.
Good luck and let us know!

How to download Thai Font to Blackberry curve 8520

My blackberry curve 8520, T-mobile network, ver 5.0.0.681 hasn't got Thai Font on it. I would like to download Thai font for reading and input (writing).please explain how to do it step by step because I do have not much knowledge about computer or software. I have read some topics says that I have to download and choose the network provider which mine is T-mobile and it provides only Muli-language (not All Languages) which I can't write it (only reading). I am not too sure it is correct or not.I believe I need to download Blackberry desktop software as well. please also give advice on these software.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages (add/remove programs, Uninstall a Program -- it depends on your Windows OS level)
2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
If your carrier only provides a "Multi Language" package, then you may need to look at other carriers OS packages, and find some that have "East Asia" or "All Languages" ("Multi Language" indeed does not have Thai, as per this KB).
4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
5) Now launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC, and you should be able to select the languages you desire If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
Don't forget to backup.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Blackberry Curve 8520 'frozen'

My Blackberry Curve 8520 seems to have frozen. None of the functions such as the trackpad and answer button work at all, only the keys on the keypad SWLHG & Y do. I can't answer calls or place calls. It connects to Desktop manager with no problems at all and I have tried updating the software. The phone has not been dropped or had any water damage and I checked inside for the water sticker, which is fine.
The phone is on a contract with Orange and I have insurance on it, but I am wondering if there is any 'fix'

Ah yes, knowing what has already been attempted certainly prevents wasting anyone's time.
So, with that, what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? Something else? The tiniest thing could be causal, so think very carefully.
If there was some change, then you have two possible ways to proceed.
1) Remove the change. Given then behavior, you'll have to use the Desktop Software to remove whatever the offending thing is:
KB10376Remove applications from the BlackBerry smartphone
2) Reload your OS clean, and then start putting apps back on. You'd want to go slow here...giving it time to know for sure that the behavior presents or not. Once it starts, you know the culprit.
If there was no change recently, then you likely can only go with method 2...
Lastly...don't rule out moisture damage. The behavior could actually indicate that. And moisture intrusion into a BB is much easier to suffer than one would think (with the indicators sometimes not presenting positive). To attempt to treat that, you'd need to follow this FAQ:

Can't create a personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520.

I cannot create an personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520. I’ve already followed some of the instructions from this forum and on the main website of Blackberry but still can’t create an email account for my phone.
These are the steps I’m doing when I’m trying to create and email.
From the home screen, go to Setup.
Click Setup Wizard.
Click Email Setup.
But when I’m in the email setup, the only option I have is the “I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
I don’t have the option of “I want to create or add an email address”.
Now, how can I create a personal email account on my phone?
I hope somebody can help me in my problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
Good luck!
