Backup Assistant on BB Curve 8330

I woke up this morning to see that the Verizon Backup Assistant for Blackberry was loaded on my phone.  Thought this would be good if I ever needed to change from the Blackberry.

However, when I run from my device it tells me it encountered an error and can't connect to the service.

Anyone know what's up with this?

Have you tried to update your roaming capabilities by dialing *228 then selecting option2 to make sure you have great signal? Hope this helps.

Yup...but it didn't help.  Hard-boot and all.

If you are trying to download an app why would a roaming update help correct this?

Just a shot in the dark here, is you firewall enabled?  And have you checked the permissions for the application?  Try resending your service books and last thing uninstall the software.  After uninstalling it do a battery pull and the app should be sent back to you from VZW then attempt a reinstall.

Firewalls are disabled. Removed app and service book. Rebooted and re-installed...same error.

Only other suggestion I have would be to wipe the device and reinstall the OS.  Sounds like something is corrupted.  Be sure to back up first.

 

Good luck..............

Updating your roaming capabilities will connect you to the most relevant towers so signal issue is not one of the factors when downloading the application.

Updating roaming had no effect. Neither did uninstalling/reinstalling/rebooting. Running v4.5.0.175.

Doesn't sound like connection is the problem here.  Looks like something has gone bad in his OS.

Here's a shot in the dark. It is possible that you have an app download block in place on your account. It is rare that a block would not drop off when activating a data plan, but it could be stuck in the switch.
