BlackBerry® Curve™

[camilotelles]

Sirs,

I have a Curve 8900 with the  4.6.1.133 (platform 4.2.0.85).

This device keeps beeping every 10 seconds, I have tried remove the battery when the BB was on, waiting for 1 minute, put it again.

I have looked all configurations.

I don´t have any idea and want to throw it in the window.

Any ideas? Hints?

NEW INFORMATION. The device only keeps beeping if the wireless connection with the carrier is active. If it´s disabled the beeps stops. I´m using Claro in Brazil. 

Camilo

Go to your Profiles and edit the settings.

Or, set the device to PHONE ONLY as your Profile. Find the icon "Profiles" or sound.

---

1. Select the Profiles icon

2. A box will appear where you can quick select between Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal, Phone Only, and Off. If you wish to quick change the device profiles then select the one you want and exit out.

3. If you want to edit the tones assigned to the device applications then select the last option, Advanced
(some older models and OS 4.1 and below will not have the "Advanced" step--if Advanced is not present go directly to Step 4 below).

4. Select the profile you wish to edit. (Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal (default), Phone Only, Off)
Note: on the 8100, 8800, and 8300 models: Do not click the trackball. Instead, click the menu key to the left of the trackball).
Note: The profile that is in use will say: (Active)

5. You will now see a list of all applications that can have a tone assigned (Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, Messages (email@domain.com), Messenger, MMS, Phone, SMS, Task ect..)

6. Select the application you wish to edit the tone / notification for

7. You can now edit Out of Holster and In Holster tones/ notifications.
a) Select between: None, Tone, Vibrate, Vibrate+Tone
b) Select the Tune you wish to use
c) Select Volume (options are Mute, Low, Medium, High, Escalating)
d) Select Number of Beeps (options are 1, 2, 3)
e) Select Repeat Notification (options are None, LED Flashing)
f) If set to Vibrate or Vibrate+Tone then select Number of Vibrations (options are 1, 2, 3)

8. Repeat a-e for each of the desired applications listed in 5 above

Sanders,

I have updated. I pinpointed that the device only keeps beeping when the connection with the carrier is active. If wifi is active it will not beep. Only when the "Mobile Network" is active.

I honestly have no idea then. Most sounds come from the profile settings.

If you set the device profile to silent or vibrate, does the beeping persist?

[camilotelles]

If I set the profile to silent or vibrate, it keeps beeping.

I have found the solution. This is a bug beetween a software in the SIM Card from the network operator and the BlackBerry device. It´s already solved. I had to follow some steps to enable and disable a specific feature of the network operator and wait for a dialog box to confirm my operation.

The beeps comes with the dialog box, but the dialog box only apears if you are in a specific screen of the blackberry. If you are in the home screen, it will not appear and you only hears the beep.

Camilo, could you be more specific as to what are the features you have to enable and disable to stop this beeping. I'm having the same problem, same carrier (Claro) and same phone (8900). Really driving me crazy.

[camilotelles]

Go to the menu from the SIM Card, disable and enable the option DDD Claro. Wait in the screen for the beep. When the beep´s come will show a dialog box. So you will confirm the operation and everything will be fine. (i hope so...)

[fnmattar]

Camilo, thanks for the prompt response. Problem solved. Not crazy anymore.

Best rgds
