image Finally I got the Chinese Characters display well on my BlackBerry Curve 8330 handheld from Verizon Wireless provider. Since Verizon from USA is a very special wireless service carrier who is using CDMA network technology, it is very slow for us to get some advanced features from Verizon compared with other GSM BlackBerry carriers.

Anyhow, recently I found out Verizon has its latest 4.5 OS software for the BlackBerry Curve 8330. And this new OS support Chinese and other East Asian types of font which the big reason for me to upgrade.

Fix RIM BlackBerry 8703e "JVM Error 523"

blackberry_8307e Challenge: Today when I tried to browser a website on my BlackBerry 8703e, it all of the sudden frozen up and then showed a white screen with "JVM Error 523" in the middle after a self-reboot.

I tried to scroll down and clicked the Reset link under the error message, but nothing happened. I could not even do a power off reset, since the Power button on the top was basically non-responsiveness.

So, I opened the back cover and took out the battery, and then I put back the battery. Yes, I could see the desktop after the boot-up and even the message of "verifying security software…". But unfortunately the blackberry immediately went back to the White Screen with the same "JVM Error 523". At that point, the device is totally useless, since none of any buttons on the blackberry was functional.

How to initial and cancel the call forwarding on Verison phones

Published by WebGuru on April 21, 2008 in Consumer Electronics. 0 Comments

Already got back to the office, and need to return the loaned 3G phone which I used overseas. Before I gave up this cool baby, I would have to cancel the calling forward to get my phone number back to my blackberry. Since I am not good at  remembering all these codes, I put them in this post for the future reference. Please be noted the codes here only for Verizon wireless provider.

To forward phone number A  to phone B, use *72 + phone number B:
On the phone currently using phone number A, dial “*721234567890” and send. Here, *72 is the special code, and 1234567890 is the new phone number which accepts the forwarded calls.

To cancel the call forwarding, dial *720
To cancel the forwarding, just dial “*720” on the original forwarded phone, and that is it.

On both of the above processes, please do not forget the * sign at the beginning. And normally you will hear a continued beep sound, that is OK your request still goes through if your provider allows you to do the call forwarding(meaning you paid this service).
