Arabic typing in wrong direction after os 5 update Curve 8520

Hello,
Actually I'm posting this on behalf of a friend because I feel responsible for his problem. I advised him to update his Curve 8520 via this link last Tuesday rather than taking it to a mobile shop: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/devices/ .
The update was a success, however, now whenever he wants to type in his native Arabic it types from left to right not from right to left. The Arabic font shows correctly so it is supported but it seems there is this typing direction issue. Both of us live in Dubal and use Etisalat as our provider.
Can someone please tell me how or if the correct typing direction for Arabic can be achieved? Thank you for your time

Hi again

I will ask him to see if he can find a backup. Where would the backup be located?
The correct answer would be to whereever he saved it, but that may prove difficult with a shared PC.
He will be looking for a file with the extension .ipd and I would say it will be only one on the machine.

Can't update Curve 8520 to OS 5

I have downloaded the OS 5 for Curve 8520 onto my computer and every time I go to update my phone when it is connected to the computer, it comes up with a message telling me that there is no new updates available, and the same happens when I try the wireless update from my blackberry handset. I read somewhere that you need a data plan to update and I have a data plan. I have tried this countless times and the same thing happens every time I try and update. Could anybody please tell me how to solve this problem because it is starting to get on my nerves. Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I recommend you abandon the two methods you are attempting to conduct the update (OTA and via Desktop Manager). Rather, use this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
While written for "reload", it is good for upgrade, downgrade, or reload...it all depends on the BB OS package you download and install to your PC.
Good luck!

Cant Update BB curve 8520 from 4.6 to 5 OS

I recently tried to update my BB curve 8520 OS v.4.6.1.286 to OS 5 .
I did all these steps.
1) Downloaded 8520wifiM_PBr5.0.0_rel860_PL5.2.0.47_A5.0.0.509_Wind_Hellas
2)Deleted "vendor.xml"
3)And executed LOADER.EXE
I followed all the steps and i couldnt update my OS.
I dont know what else to do i followed all the steps still i failed
Is there any other way to update my OS ???

if you have BB Desktop Manager installed on your computer, you should just have to plug your BB 8520 in and Desktop Manager will automatically tell you that theres an update and give you the option to do it. A data plan is required for OS5 to work. Thats how I did mine and the whole thing took all of 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind though that there are apps that will not reinstall after the update so you'll have to reinstall them, but it will tell you which ones didnt carry over.

Curve 8520 - Video quality after v5.0 update

Hello all!
Got a Curve 8520 and since updating yesterday, the frame rate when recording video has dropped significantly meaning jerky/jumpy video. It may be worth adding that even when in video camera mode but NOT recording the feed is still jumpy.
I can see the difference by watching video I recorded before the update and also by comparing to my wifes phone (exactly the same as mine) which has not had the update yet.
Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

You can always downgrade back to the previous OS if you like and see if the video quality returns.
Always, do a backup first, using Desktop Manager > Backup.
1. Delete the newer OS from your PC by going to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
2. Then download and install the older version of the OS. BlackBerry Operating System Downloads
3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Can't update software on my new curve 8520!

i got a new curve 8520 from phones4u the other day and the software is 4.6.314 but i would like to upgrade to 5 but on the desktop software it says no updates avaiable and also on wireless updates just wondering if it could be the sim card i got it in the phone or either its just the phone playing up? could someone help me please.

First, in order to update to OS 5 you'll need a sim card with a valid data plan. Once you get that then you can update to OS 5 by following the instructions below:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8500-series-discussion-gemini/241870-latest-os-8520-5-0-0-16...
If you're brave, you can wipe the device with JL_Cmder and then load the OS 5 using the above instructions without a data plan.

Updating blackberry curve 8520 OS

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

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:

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:

Problems Setting up Email on Curve 8520

I'm not able to set-up email on my new curve 8520. I know that other people have posted about it before, but I still can't seem to get it working!
I have BIS and have already created a Blackberry ID. Whenever I go to email setup, the only option I'm presented with is "I want to create or add an email address" and when I click next it says "After you click Next teh Blackberry Internet Service setup application opens. After you finish setting up yruo email press the menu key and click close". On the next page , I'm asked for my username and password, and when I fill it in, I always get:
"The information you provided is incorrect. Retype your user name and pasword."
I know that my username and password are correct, as I've double checked them in BlackBerry App World, so the issue has to be coming from somewhere else.
I've contacted Vodafone several times, and RIM but no one has been able to give me a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Heathermac, the username and password for setting up your email on your BIS account is NOT the same as your BlackBerryID... two very different and totally separate things.
You might want to make your BIS login the same as your BlackBerryID, that would be convenient and a good idea, but they are not the same. They are set up differently, and one does not carry over to the other.

Curve 8520 won't turn on all the way, please help!

I have a blackberry curve 8520, i bought it last month sometime.
I woke up yesterday morning and the balckberry was off, and would not switch on after i pushed down the ON button. So I charged it for a while, and still, it wouldnt switch on. Then, i took it off charge, took out the battery put the battery back in and it rebooted. The loading bar went right to the end, and the logo of my service provider appeared. And that's when it stopped loading. All that will show is the logo, it wont turn off, unless i take the battery out again.
I had downloaded an app the night before it stopped working off appworld, could that have affected it? I tried to link it to my computer, but it wont let me remove or add applications.
I did take out the battery for hours, and the SD card. It still wiil only turn on until my service provider's logo.
PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be helpful.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

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.

Cannot open transferred .doc files on my BB Curve 8520

I am a new user and have just bought a BB Curve 8520. Carrier is Virgin Media; OS is V4.6.1.314 (platform 4.2.0.135); Desktop Manager Version is 5.0.1.2.8
I have transferred photos, music and some documents from my PC successfully to my BB using Desktop Manager. However some .doc files transfer, but I cannot open them on the BB. I get an error message saying a file cannot be opened as it is an RTF file. I also notice that when I start to transfer the files, the little window that pops up does not give me the option to convert them - it is grayed out. Help please - I am totally new to Blackberry and not a whiz! Thanks in advance!

You should save the files as true Word documents on your PC first.
