Curve 8900 on 3G network

Hi All!
I have just signed with 3 Australia for their bb network which comes with the Bold 9000...however I am thinking of getting the Curve 8900. Before I do that though, I'd like to make sure that:
1) The 3G sim will work in the Curve 8900 (I think this was answered in an earlier post, but I wasn't sure about #2)
2) BES/BIS would work as well
Basically, I'd love to simply substitute the Curve for the Bold on the same contract, but obviously without the 3G capabilities.
The 3 personnel were quite adamant that it would not work, but I have had bad experiences previously with their advice!
Any help is appreciated Thanks!!

Hi,
I was making myself the same question, I know the 8900 works on EDGE but will the phone features (basically phone calls) works on the 3G?
Thx,

Freezing / Hanging Screen - Curve 8900

Hi, I have a Curve 8900 which has been working just fine since I bought it more than 3 years ago. Just recently the screeen has started to hang and freeze and its driving me nuts !!! The usual routine of taking the battery out while the device is on solves the problem temporarily, but then after a short while the problem comes back....please help.......I have zero apps on the device. I have been storing some pix on the device recently but the the memory card is still showing 75% free space !!!! Many thanks.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, you may need to consider more drastic remedy attempts (e.g., WIPE, clean OS reload, BBSAK/JLCMDR wipe/reload, etc.).
Also, please be sure that you've got a solid backup in place just in case...see the link in my auto-sig on this post for recommended methods to use.
Good luck and let us know!

Email Error Message on Curve 8900

Hi
I have a curve 8900, when I receive emails and I select one to read I keep getting message "no delivery network error", then it will open the email.
I had this same message on my previous curve 8520 and was told by a local phone shop that it was a software error.
I have recently changed from O2 to Vodafone and only seemed to have notice the message since I transferred to Vodafone.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Thanks

Calendar entries on Curve 8900 get random reminder times after moving in ical

I just upgraded to a Curve 8900 from a Curve 8310 and using the new Desktop Manager for Mac to sync. I'm having 2 issues.
1) After syncing with ical, the entries on my Curve 8900 do not alert (vibrate or give off tone) when the ical alarm is set to "message with sound", however it does seems to work when you only select "message" from the alarm setting.
2) When dragging an event on ical from one date to another (or changing the date using the edit event command or get info command), during the sync it assigns a random reminder time only on my Curve, but not in ical. So I'm getting random alerts on my Curve for events in the future, and random times of 12 hours, 24 hours, 1215 minutes, etc.
My default entry on both my Curve and ical has the alarm reminder set to "0" min, so that I am alerted on the time I have assigned to the event.
It's so frustrating as both pocketmac and missing sync were erasing contacts. I was hoping the new Desktop Manager would have solved any sync problems.

If you are having errors in your Calendar or Address Book on your BlackBerry, and you wish to delete the entire Calendar (or Address Book) database on your BlackBerry, follow the directions below. Make certain you have a good copy of your Calendar or Contacts elsewhere, as this procedure will complete delete ALL Calendar entries and/or Address Book entries on your BlackBerry.
1. Open Desktop Manager on your PC.
2. Open up Backup/Restore > Advanced.
3. From Advanced you'll see a split pane screen. The left pain is what is going to be backed up from your device and the right is a list of the currently existing databases.
3. Highlight on the right side your Address Book database (or your Calendar database) and click the arrow in the middle pointing to the left. This will copy the information over and prepare it for back-up.
4. Once the back-up has completed, hit the Clear button at the bottom to erase and clean out the entire address book database (or Calendar database).
5. After it's finished, it will ask you if you want to save the back-up you've created, say yes and check the device to make sure the address book (or calendar) has been properly cleared out. Now, resync the necessary contact information and you should be set to go.

How can I get my blackberry curve 8900 to update to 5.0 and get wifi to work?

I bought a blackberry curve 8900 around a year ago on an AT&T plan back when data plans werent required, so it just has minutes and texting. because of an issue i had with data before, i have data disabled completely on my account to prevent any mistaken data being used up and charging me. my AT&T contract recently expired so i called them up and got my blackberry unlocked, and will be soon switching to tmobile.
My problem is that it refuses to update past 4.6 over to 5.0 because of some restriction on it placed by AT&T, and my wifi wont work unless i have data enabled for the same reason. Is there anything i can do? I've tried installing 5.0 from different service providers onto my phone but it never installs properly.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While you can (with just a trick or two) use any carriers OS package for your specific model number, it won't do any good since all 5.0 level OS's require a data plan, regardless of which carrier. So, without that, you can't update to 5.0. Further, it is the data plan that activates BIS -- which is what is used to run the BlackBerry Browser...hence that non-functionality also. Basically, a BB without a data plan is, to many, pretty useless.
There are other browsers that bypass BIS and will use a generic data plan (assuming you have that)...OperaMini and Bolt come to mind. You might give those a try.
Good luck!

File Sharing Welcome message greeting - can't get rid of it

A long time ago I had a Tiger server running and I had set it to display a welcome message, a greeting, upon any user connecting to a share point. At some point in time I had migrated over some preference settings into my now current standard Leopard workstation on my iMac C2D 2.4GHz. So now when I have file sharing active and I connect from another Mac in the house, I still get the Welcome message I had set up long ago. I cannot for the life of me figure out which preference file is responsible for this Welcome message that pops up when I connect to my iMac over my local network. Its a problem because I have other Macs on my network connecting for Time machine backups but they get hung up on the Welcome message which requires the other use to hit the OK button to move on. If no one is there then the OK button won't get pressed. Does anyone know how to get rid of this file sharing Welcome message

haha never mind, I found it using Cocktail, has a preference for greeting upon connections with file sharing.

Iphone getting freeze when a message arrive during a conversation

the iphone 4 with os7 getting freeze when a message arrived the phone during a conversation is in progress. needed to lock & unlock the phone to get rid of the problem. Any help?

Hi chocotee,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:

If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

Downgrading is not supported.
Here are some basic troubloeshooting tips:
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
If you want to contact Apple directly, call 1-800-MYAPPLE (1-800-692-7753), or go to getsupport.apple.com.
Don't waste your time asking for a downgrade of the iOS. That's not an option.

Curve 8900 won't get past the T-Mobile screen on start-up

I am hoping that someone out there can help. My T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900 does not make it past the T-Mobile screen on start-up. The battery was fully charged when this happened. Personally, I think it has to do with iHeart Radio crashing, but I could be wrong. I have tried to plug the USB cord into a rear port on my laptop and launch the Blackberry Desktop Manager to see if I could do anything, but nothing happens. The BB Desktop Manager does not connect to the phone, because it is not getting past the T-Mobile screen on start-up. Not sure what to try.

Hey VTX1300R,
Do you have a recent backup of you device? If so the you may want to try to do a reset to factory on the device. Have a look at this article to see how to do it. http://bit.ly/98bCNO

Curve 8900 won't view surveilence cameras correctly

Hi!
I am a locksmith with Carl's Lock Shop in Co. Spgs, CO.
We view a particular web site with our shop cameras in order to sell our services...
The web site is www.videoalert.net
You will automatically be re-directed to thier mobile site...
should say "mobile access" or "mobile viewer" at the top...
Enter user name ppp and password pp then click next...
Choose either rover1 camera or pan and tilt (camera 2 is is disabled)...
Now the image, if you have any other Black Berry other than a Curve 8900, will update every few seconds with still pics...(no Blank screen between pics)
If your un-fortunate enough to have been suckered into buying a Curve 8900 you will get one image for about five seconds then instead of refreshing it just goes to blank screen...(if it does refresh it will just blink a half secord glimpse of the pic every thirty seconds or so)
T-Mobile Black Berry/ PDA support is no help at all...(have tried every setting in the phone and some settings only an **bleep** would attempt)
Have been connected with Black Berry support to no avail also...(if 877-255-2377 case # 7151298 was a legit deal( they seemed kinda dumb)
If you let the screen saver come on it will bring up a permanent pic that will not refresh...(Same thing as turning off java script in browser config)
It's painfully obvious to even a moron like myself that this new Black Berry has a different Java scpript or operating system that is not compatible with this particular 3rd party web site, that neither T-Mobile nor Black Berry are responsible for...Duh
I don't need them to tell me that...
I figured that out before I called them and spent hours trying to fix the un-fixable...
Dumb as I am, I know when I have bought a "Pig-In-A-Poke".
Oh Yeah the Streaming video on this piece of junk skips and locks up unless your on Wi-Fi so don't believe the "Hype" about how good it plays...
"IF" anybody has any ideas on what will fix this thing...
Call me direct at (phone number edited out for privacy)
Thnx,
Stang
problem not solved...

Upgrade OS of BB Curve 8900

Hello Experts,
How to upgrade OS on BB Curve 8900 when we I am getting an error " No Sufficient Memory Available" . My device memory shows that 67MB is available.
Is there any way to upgrade my current OS version to latest version. Hope I am not missing anything during the upgrade planning process.
Looking to hear more from experts.
Regards,
Hemant

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Device Memory is irrelevant for upgrades...AppMemory is what matters...see this:
There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, 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. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
All of that said, you further will need to clarify exactly which method of update you are attempting. There are several to choose from, and many sound similar when they are actually very different. Please provide specifics about how you are attempting this upgrade. My advice is to use this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
While written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you have downloaded and installed to your PC.
As for "latest version" -- you will find that via the download portal sites (a link in the procedure). If you desire to use an OS package from other than your BBs original carrier, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the procedure, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
Good luck!

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Locked - Not Accepting Password - I'm Original/Only Owner of Device

Hello - I'm brand new to this Forum. I've had my Blackberry Curve 8900 since September of 2009 (original owner) and this is only my second problem with the phone. (My trackball gave out last July, but I had it fixed and it is good as new).
Anyway, I received an email this morning to update the password for my email account (Hotmail) and I updated via my settings on the phone. Then 10 minutes later my phone locked and asked for a password. I recently updated my Blackberry ID password and received a confirmation. Now when I enter this password into my phone to unlock it...I keep getting the message that it is "incorrect" and how many tries I have left out of 10 (it says information will be erased if one more wrong attempt). I already have done this 9 times and it keeps getting rejected. I only have one attempt left and I'm extremely frustrated. Isn't this password the same as the BlackBerry ID password? What else can I do? Help! Now all I can do is make call & receive calls. I'm unable to check email or text messages since phone is locked. Please help!

Hello FlowerChick,
Welcome to the forums and sorry to hear about your issue.
Before you made any changes did you use a password to lock your device? If so then this would be the password you need to enter. Hope this helps. Let us know if we can help out in any other way.
