Does anyone know how to solve the yahoo mesgr problem on the curve 8330 for Sprint. Tech Support has never even heard of this.

I didn’t come up with this on my own. All credit goes to DBraxton on crackberry.com but it worked for me so I thought I would share it. I have a curve 8320.

“8320 Users. You CANNOT delete the modules. I don’t care what the techs tell you.

If you are a t-mobile customer (If you’re not a t-mobile customer… keep reading), don’t waste time on tech support. They can’t help you either.

go to t-mobile.com/bbupgrade. This requires you to enter a valid phone number. Download the software for your phone. (ignore the stuff about version info. My version numbers matched, but this still worked.)
Its about 82MB. The installation package has a complete version of Yahoo, AIM and other stuff that wouldn’t install on my BB.

If you are not a t-mobile customer, call RIM at (877)255-2377. They can lead you to your providers hidden location.

I hope this helps!”

YAY! I have yahoo messenger again!

MAKE SURE that the icon of the new yahoo is not hidden. I had to go into menu, show all, then go under the IM menu in the curve and it was right there, simply hididng. unclicked hide and I was good to go.

Does anyone know how to delete a module on the Curve 8320? The only thing it will let you do is edit permissions.

Hey Matty.

Try mobile.blackberry.com

From there you can access the new version of Googletalk that works with the Blackberry Curve 8310

There’s no delete option for deleting the modules in the Blackberry Curve. Anybody find a way to delete modules for the Curve?

Ive been using Gtalk for about a year. Use to have it on a 8700, then 8810, and recently got a 8310 and CANNOT download gtalk for the life of me to the curve (ATT). I have tried EVERY avenue to DL OTA with no luck… Any suggestions?

Thanks

I followed the link, downloaded and installed Yahoo Messenger successfully. Could it be blocked by company policy ? But there is no icon showing. I check in Options|Advanced options|Applications and in the list I am seeing Yahoo Messenger 2.0.38 but I just can’t run it.

Please advise.

Found a solution on one of the other forums. Go to Options/Advanced Options/Applications/Modules then scroll down until you see net_rim_yahoomessenger module (v 1.*.*) and delete it. After it deletes, the device will reboot, and when it comes back on, the error is gone and the icon is there.

Jason,
What can i say? you’re an angel! thanks!!
I thought I really messed things up upon upgrading my 7130g to YM ver 2. Same things happened, icon gone and “uncaught exeption:java.lang.error” appeared after reboot.

But after deleting the file, it works fine and the YM ver2 is great with new features Im now enjoying. Your post is truly appreciated! you’re the man!

note: the file to be deleted is at the bottom of the list (might help)

I know that some people have been having problems with installing the new GTALK 2.0 on the Blackberry. I have a 8100 and figured out that if you update the software on the Blackberry GTALK 2.0 will work. The software must be 4.2.1 or greater for GTALK 2.0 to work. Once you update the software you might have to download GTALK again.

It works great.

Thank you Jason!

I am very disappointed about how both Blackberry and Yahoo! guys are helping out users solve this. I spent a lot of time searching both sites for helpful info. Zero results!

Thank God there are search engines and people willing to help!

I had the exact same problem. Loaded the new yahoo version 2.0 and it just screwed a lot of things up, 1) Yahoo Messenger disappeared 2)a new application , Voice Note was installed, and then the Compose Icon nows leads up to the Address book/Contacts.
I am getting the same java.lang.error

I just tried what Jason said, deleting the old Yahoo Version 1.0 first – found in the section Module from the Yahoo Messenger 2.0 Options/Applications/Yahoo Messenger section. It works now, thank you.
I have a Pearl 8100.

Now I just have to fix the COMPOSE icon!

anyone know what it is acting up?

Jay- Thank you, thank you, thank you for the fix!

Dear Blackberry-

Would it be that hard to put this into an immediate fix (or at least post a message saying what to do if you run into this problem)instead of ignoring every potentially negative thing that came your way? Sad. Disturbing.

The solution with removing the net_rim_yahoomessenger module works like a champ. I am using a BlackBerry Pearl from T-Mobile. Thanks! This was driving me crazy!!
