Verizon Curve 8330 speaker

Whenever I get a message, either email or MMS, that plays a sound, my speaker for the phone stops working. The only way to correct the problem is to remove the battery and restart it. I have replaced it at the Verizon store once already. They were not surprised when I told them of the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this problem? Thanks in advance for the help.

So it just wont work again, or wont play that sound?
If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

New verizon curve 8330 missing browser

Hi,
This may sound like s dumb question, so my apologies. I just activated my new (well old, but new to me) Verizon Curve 8330 and it does not have a browser app. I tried to go to opera to send me a download link, but even with that I can't get my phone to go to it. I did perform a security wipe before I activated it. I can't seem to find a browser to download to my computer to install through the desktop manager either. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Are you sure your data plan is in place? How did you activate it?
Lets try this:At the home screen go to the connection icon,click on it,
and go to service status, click on it, menu key, select diagnostic test, select
run. In the course of the test the phone your data access will be checked and
a registration request will be sent. After the test completes you can read the categories
and see if a PIN test worked, and registration request was sent successfully.
If the test fails I would call the carrier and have them verify you plan,
If the test is successful they the following:
Go to options/ advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification email. Then go to email settings and send service books.
You will get an confirmation of setup for each email account.
After this is complete, do a battery pull to reset the device.
Let us know now it goes!
Thanks,

Google Maps no longer works for my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. What is wrong with Google???

For the past 11 months, Google Maps and Gmail have worked wonderfully with my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. Tonight, all of it stopped working. I tried to load Google Maps and failed. Kept getting the error message "Network Unavailable, blah blah blah". I tried restarting the phone, removing and reinserting the battery, until I finally uninstalled Google Maps. Now when I point my browser (OperaMini) to m.google.com to download and reinstall Google Maps, it says "Sorry the Google Maps application does not work on your 8330." This makes NO sense. Why would Google suddenly remove support for my phone? Is there a work around? Before uninstalled, I tried all sorts of tricks with editing permissions to no avail.
Also, Gmail is refusing to check mail, occasionally saying that a data connection is needed. That also makes NO sense as I have great phone reception.
My internet (OperaMini) and normal calling and texting capabilities are unaffected.
In conclusion: Is there ANY WAY to get these Google applications to reinstall and work on my phone? Or has Google screwed me over? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks,
Hyun

BB Curve 8330 that chirps

I have a BB Curve that chirps when I am in the middle of a call. It doesn't matter if I am using my handset, if it is on speakerphone, or if I am using my bluetooth. Verizon sent me a replacement phone and it is still doing it. Is anyone else having the same problems>

Hi,
The problem you describe was found to be an error with the software on your phone. See the thread at http://community.vzw.com/t5/BlackBerry-Devices/High-pitched-sound-beep-while-on-calls-on-BB-Curve-8330/m-p/169248#M13360

Blackerry Curve 8330---I cant hear anything, but they can hear me??!!

I recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8330, Verizon. In the first couple of days, I started having problems where I would go to make a call and wouldnt hear anything....however, the other person on the other line tells me later they heard me. In order to fix this, I have to take out my battery and put it back in. Apparently, I know two other people that this has happened to on several occasions---as for myself, Ive had my blackbery for a month and had this happen at least 4x and its starting to get annoying.
Any advice on what to do?! Return product?
Thanks

This type of issues arises due hardware melfunction. Contact your carrier for support or else you can take help from RIM support if available.

Help: Syncing Curve 8330 with Mac OS 10.4!

Hi... I posted something months ago, but never got an answer -- and REALLY need to fix this!
Got Curve 8330s for my mother and myself in 08/2009 -- I have a PC, she has a Mac with OS 10.4 (Tiger). She has NEVER been able to sync her BB with her Mac. Pocket Mac didn't work, so she never got her contacts from her Yahoo account into her Curve, then DTM (finally) came out -- but since she doesn't have the right OS, we can't install that.
So...
1) Can we do anything, short of spending another $500 to upgrade her OS to Snow Leopard? (Oh yeah, she'd need to get more RAM at the same time to make that work... this just keeps getting better.)
2) Is DTM for Macs still wiping everyone's BlackBerrys? Has this been fixed? Or is this all a big waste of time?
Needless to say, we're both quite unhappy to have spent so much time and effort on this (I'm her de facto IT person), especially after purchasing the devices and contracts so recently. And I'm having my own issues over on the PC side.
We don't WANT iPhones. We LIKE Verizon, and love having each having a BB -- but as others have said, it would be nice to make them actually talk to our computers... and we can't shell out any more money at all right now.
Thanks in advance for your help! And how do we actually get RIM to do anything about this issue?

How did you come up with $500? Is your friend on an intel mac? If it is intel mac, the upgrade to SL is about $30. The cost of ram is <$100.

Facebook 2.0 Upgrade on Curve 8330 Problems.

I've got a Blackberry Curve, 8330 (v4.5.0.191) (Platform 3.4.0.62), currently have Facebook 1.9.0.28 installed, running fine. I've gotten a notification saying Facebook 2.0 is available, but I cannot download it for some reason. I go to the "Options" setting within Facebook, "Check for Upgrade," get a notification saying there's one available, etc. Click the "Yes" button to perform the update, which opens the BlackBerry Browser. The page ends up being blank. The page address is
http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/mobileapps/facebook/static/index_redirect.shtml
Have tried various emulation modes with the BlackBerry browser, as well as trying to get -somewhere- using Opera, which is also installed on my phone with no avail. I have no cord to sync my phone to my computer and do it that way, as I moved and a few things were misplaced.
I've gone through the Blackberry App World, although it shows that the newest version is 1.9.0.28, even though I know there was a recent release. My phone is entirely up to date, as far as OS and everything else goes.
Is there a place I could download the .jar/.jad file directly? or is there a fix for this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Same with mine.
Apprently there's a new OS release for the 8330 (v5.0.0.438), although not released through all carriers. My phone is "Up to date" according to the over-the-air Wireless Update in the settings thinger (I use Verizon), but this is installable. I personally have issues getting the Loader.exe to work , but you may have better luck. Have a gander at this thread-

Curve 8330 Stereo Headset Issue.

Hello, I purchases a new Curve 8330 a few days ago and the headset which was included with it (the 3.5mm 4 Pole Stereo Headset) does not work when I play music from the Internet or from the Media. It also doesn't work with any calls. The volume always comes out of the speaker in the phone, not the headphones. Is the headset exclusively for Bluetooth use? My iPod headphones work on my Curve and the Curve headphones work with my iPod, so I'm confused.
I read the previous posts related to headset issues and I couldn't find an answer to this. Thank you!

I'm having a similar problem... my blackberry headset does not work properly. I mean.. it was working when I first got it-- and then all of a sudden, it stopped. It was cold outside, and I never really thought about it again. I was frustrated... and about a week ago I called tech support to inquire...
They siad my blacberry headset jack was most likely damaged, as:
My boyfriend also has a blackberry, and I had the same problem with his out-of-box blackberry headset. (It would work, and then not work unless I pulled it out of the jack slightly).
Regular headphones I use with my ipod worked just fine in my blackberry (curve, by the way).
My headset worked in a sales associate phone when I took it into the store. Granted... my store doesn't fix blackberries-- they just have you send them in.
Luckily... I'm under warently. I wish I weren't so in love with this phone... it seems to be really fragile. My last one was coming apart at the seams in the back around the battery come day 2....
... wait until you try to upgrade your phone's software...... whew. It's rough.
--- ps. it's working plugged in right now and i'm indoors...

Battery Status Level In Desktop Manager Does Not Agree With Battery Level Indicated On My Curve 8330

I just got a new Curve 8330 from Verizon. It came with a Desktop Manager 4.3 disc. I installed it, but then learned that version 4.7 was available. I uninstalled 4.3 and downloaded and installed 4.7 from RIM. When I started to charge my Curve via USB cable to my PC, the Desktop Manager showed a battery charge of 37%. My Curve was 100% charged later in the day, but the Desktop Manager still indicated it was only 37% charged. I uninstalled 4.7 and reinstalled it, per advice of Verizon. Then the Desktop Manager correctly showed a battery charge of 100%. But as I used my Curve and used up battery to a 50% level (as indicated on the Curve), the Desktop Manager still showed a 100% charge. A minor glitch with the Desktop Manager software? Any solutions? Thanks.

it's a glitch. The(false) value can be updated by going into the Help menu if I recall correctly.

Curve 8330 Voice dialing and sound problems, Please help!

I got this black berry curve 8330 from a friend on the weekend to replace my broken Pearl. He said it worked fine but it sometimes had a voice dialing problem. After wiping all the personal data and activating the phone the voice dialing went nuts. Every 6 to 9 sec the voice dialing would activate with no sound. meaning you don't hear the lady voice say, "say a command". After reading many forums posts I download memmax and removed all VAD files. But I will still left with no sound. I went and did a test on the hardware and the speaker and microphone both worked fine. Puzzled I tried playing a ringtone, , it plays maybe the first second of the file and then the sounds goes away but I am able to get it back by press the Speaker/$ key. I then tried making a phone call and the phone was working just fine. About an hour later I tired calling someone and the issue had raisin again. This time I was unable to get the sound back. (I tried resetting many times with no success.) I could still play media files, but was unable to get sound making or receiving calls (this includes the other party not being able to hear me as well.) I tired changing profiles with no success. I then did some more reading and tried updating the OS. Once that was done and voice dialing had been reinstalled and started acting up again. SO I removed it and basically everything happened all over again. So right now I have a phone that I can’t make calls on but I can still text and use the internet. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Should I try wiping the OS and reinstall or is this phone toast?

Calendars for Blackberry Curve 8330......

Ohhh please help me!!!! I just bought the Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. I a coming from a Palm Treo 700P. I love the Curve but I do not want to have to use outlook. Anyone who used Palm knows you could have multiple calendars and on both the Pam and Computer. I have all my dads medical, appointments, my cancer appointments and both of our lives on my Palm. When Verizon Synchronized it only the phone #'s came through and nothing for the calendar. I am now having to carry my palm treo for the personal information, drug histories, appointments, etc. Does anyone know of a program with the Calendar for both the desktop and the blackberry that I can download that will synch to each other or have any other ideas on what I can do? I would so appreciate it. Thank you so very much for any help.
