    Woke up this morning, BB working just fine. BB Curve sat beside me on my desk all day at work. Seemed like a quiet day today for my Curve, so I started surfing the web with it. Picked it up, and the home screen was frozen. Cannot move highlight anywhere. Did a battery pull. Whew, it worked, for about 3 minutes. Home screen froze again. Tried to make a call and nothing. Called my number from land line, and only voicemail.

    Searched this site and found a way to use Jl Cmder to wipe Curve clean and redownload 4.5.81. Tried to backup first, cannot do total backup. I did get a good sync, so contacts not lost.

    Wiped and reinstalled OS, now no Browser.

    Please help.

    If everything else is good, then -
    Go to Options> Advanced Options> Host Routing Table> hit Menu> Register Now. Wait for Confirmation email, should be good-to-go.

    Any idea why the home screen just froze?
    As for the back up failure, I have uninstalled and reinstalled DM and OS twice now, and still back up will not complete.
    Any suggestions or should I go for the sledgehammer?

    Not sure WHY the freezing occurs, but I can tell you I had the
    exact issue with both .81 and .93. It does not happen to the
    majority though.

    To the backup issue, try restarting the PC and do a battery pull
    on the phone and give it another go. Make sure the vendor.xml
    file is deleted also.

    Is there a diagnostics that I can run on the BB Curve, to find anything wrong with it? It just froze again, and after restarting again, the icons bounced around the screen for a while, then stopped and all is well, for now.

    What gives? New OS was soooo sweet.

    What happened to telenav? No Icon now. Just AT&T Navigator. Is this the same thing?

    Go to Options>Status. In the status screen, type the letters 'test' without the quotes. This runs a series of diagnostic tests on your Curve!

    Ran the test. All is okay.
    I also deleted a few quick launch Icons, after saving the websites to my bookmarks. Deleted VAD, PTT. Now I stand at 23mb free file space. Works great now. I was down to 15mb with numerous quick launches and apps that I did use but not daily.

    As always, Thank You to the many BB experts on this site.

    Just type test as soon as the status screen appears. You don't have to actually type it in a certain place.
