I have an 8310 from AT&T. I was in the process of updating to ver4.5 when my computer locked up and I lost the rest of the update. I made it to step 6 of 11. Now my computer won’t recognize my phone when I plug it in so I cannot re-download the software. My phone also will not turn on and the LED flashes red twice in quick succession. Help. I can’t be without my phone. What do I do now?

I will be in India in a remote area where BIS is not available. Will I still be able to use the built in browser and email/messaging apps (except for BM) on GPRS? Your help with making maximum use of the BB in this situation would be greatly appreciated.

I have a question on the emails. Is there a way to sort by the user like you can in Outlook?

Crystal, I have 8330 and 4.5.0.97 and my PDFs are fine. My guess is when you updated the OS, it downgraded your Documents To Go version or deleted it completely if you had premium version. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8330-v4.5.0.97_P3.2.0.52 and change the extension of DocumentsToGo.alx to .old and it should be fine.

Since upgrading my Verizon 8330 to version 4.5.0.97, I can no longer view PDF’s. I recenting purchased the Storm and had the same problem. Although, I returned the Storm due to the fact I did not like for other reasons. I want to be able to view any documents on my device, all Microsoft documents and PDF’s.

I have a few questions, in playing the Guitar Hero, the game freezes the phone (8130 Pearl, 4.5 os), what can I do to avoid the freezing?
Next question, what movie converters stand out for the bb, and what file types look best or work best to view the movies on the phone?
Is there an icon available for msging and email that resembles a star, like the blackberry 3g symbol, the upside down question mark, etc?
And last, when sending someone an address from the address book to the bb messenger, why does the pin not come through?

My area has a very weak signal strength for 3G and so my phone uses up a fully charged battery in less than 10 hours. How can I temporarily TURN OFF 3G until ATT can repair this problem as promised?

Not so much worried about the contest, but my 8830 keeps deleting all of my texts automatically, clearing read and unread texts, phone logs and email for no reason. I have no apps on my phone (recently wiped it) and a 2GB memory card. This can’t be a memory issue can it? Need help!!

Plus, I find my self resetting the phone two or three times a day by taking the battery out. It keeps freezing for no reason.

The smallest things seem to bother me the most some times. I copied my contacts from my old phone ( Rzr V3XX) to my new blackberry 8310 and only 1 number per contact shows. I have some contacts who I call either at work, home or can email or text or who call me from various numbers that I like to keep but unless I load each location separately ( liz work, liz home, liz shop, etc), I have gone in and manually loaded all this info per contact but I still only have one access per contact. What’s up with that?

Why hasn’t anyone said download podcasts? I know you can use Juiced but it sure would be nice to just have them show up on my BB. The beta of Viigo gave it a try but then they removed it shortly after since it was buggy. Any ideas? Viigo, please put it back in the privet beta if your reading this.

I am now onto my second Blackberry with the Bold. Previously had the 8320. Both do not have any sip client and was wondering why. You would think that with the wifi feature, that this would be addressed. Anyone out there have news on this?

Thanks

I just thought of one more – this kills me: How can you separate Voicemail notifications from SMS notifications.

I would like SMS to be on vibrate and VM to be a Vib & Ring. This drives me crazy! Is there any way to do this?

Blackberry Messenger does two crazy things (occasionally)

1) Often when I add someone from my contact list (PIN is part of their info) instead of adding them I get an invite from myself

2) Occasionally I will get the icon that someone has sent me a blackberry message but there is nothing there

Cheers

Hello!
I have something that has been bugging me for months and I know other users have this also. My verizon 8330 curve always displays the hour glass at random times and sometimes it take 5+ minutes for it to go away. Just the other day I woke up to my BBSmart alarm program and BAM got stuck with an hour glass so I could not even turn it off. My girlfriend about this this thing out the window..hah. So, is there any way on helping this or do I need to get it replaced by one of those crazy ass verizon reps?
Thanks!

I have a curve 8310 and I can’t seem to listen to mp3’s with my bluetooth. They either come out of the headset speaker or the speaker phone. I’m using the build in media player.

This is great, I do have a question that I have been thinking about asking someone. I am a new BB user and don’t want to hurt my baby.
I am using the default theme that came on my AT&T Bold and I have moved icons around to my liking and hidden others as well as added new apps.
I do backups on my pc for both the standard backup function and 3rd party apps.
I would like to try changing the theme, but i have read that the theme controls what icons get diplayed andi don’t want to lose any that I currently have.
My question is twofold 1 will I still have access to all my apps including the carrier based ones like CV and 2 if I don’t like the theme and want to go back to how my phone is now can I just do a restore from my PC and have all my settings be the same.
Or will I have to redo everything again? The reason I ask is there is another them that was installed on the phone when I purchased it and when I switched to it I lost all the carrier icons.
It is kinda funny that this contest is for an app that would eliminate these concerns on the theme part but I really would like to know what does the restore function actually restore and how much do I lose doing that?
