to start if off, i've had the same yahoo account for many years. i know my screen name and i know my password..

on email setup when i send my account info i get "an error occurred during email account validation. please check your information and try again. if the error persists please contact your email account provider. please try again"

so i downloaded yahoo GO. "log in failed"

downloaded yahoo messenger v 2.0 " service not enabled for this handheld"

what the hell is going on ?

So, you have no problem logging off and logging back on from computer? Problem is only accessing yahoo services from blackberry?..... Have you tried hard reset?

never had a prob gettin into yahoo from my pc. only from the blackberry..

by hard reset , you mean taking the bat out ? if so, yes.

this is so frustrating


also my BB messenger has pending contact info and wont send the invite
thanks for the reply

Yep, ^^Needs a battery pull reset. What is happening with BBM?

dunno about the BBmessenger. i didn't change anything. although i did drop it last night, but it wasn't bad. i don't think.. just stopped working

But you still have BIS (I'm assuming BIS) services, otherwise, BoostedSupra? The blackberry browser works?

yes, the browser still works .


thanks for the replys guys

Carrier issue?..... Can you log in to BIS on carriers website and edit yahoo email settings, save, and get confirmation? Then resend service books?

Not sure what troubleshooting to try with yahoo messenger and Yahoo! Go

so i did the battery reset. no dice.

i went through the browser to yahoo mail and it tells me "the ID or password you entered is invalid . please try again"

The pending contact just hasn't responded.

You are talking abiut blackberry browser here, though, right?

Can you set up or edit yahoo email in BIS on carrier's website using computer, and get a confirmation?

i had the other phone in my hand..

yes. i went to yahoo through the phone.

i don't completely know what you're talking about in that last part, but i'm looking around yahoo to see if i can make something work

Honestly, I'd deletw the pending contact. Try a PIN message to the other BlackBerry. And another battery pull reboot. Leave the BlackBerry powered on and pull the battery.

ok.besides the pending contact, i have a contact whom i've been communicating with through BBmessenger for the last week. now our devices aren't communicating anymore

BoostedSupra, checking my assumptions: you are not on BES, right? You have BIS, correct?

not on the BB enterprise server. correct

FWIW, sometimes in the past I had trouble logging into yahoo mobile site. Same thing; would not accept my username and password. My workaround was to log in to yahoo using the regular web site, then go back to the mobile site and refresh the page. As far as yahoo mail from the blackberry browser, you could try that.

If you are on BIS, it is much better to set up to have yahoo email pushed to the blackberry. See BIS section at blackberryfaq.com to get you started (if you are on BIS).

i guess i'll just go to an ATT store tomorrow on lunch

this sucks

I'm curious... Were you able to send a straight PIN message as JS suggested trying?

i attempted to. i havent gotten a reply .. ill ask the person with a text if he got it

Ttt?

details?

ttt = to the top ?

AT&T doesn't support Yahoo Messenger.

You'll probably have to do some sort of service book hack. There have been some threads on sharing service books from other users from supported carriers.

well that is lame.

Lame, but there is a workaround, there were instructions posted last night in a thread here. I'll look, you can too.

Hey all,
I had this same issue and found this thread through a Google Search. The thread never really had a resolution so I wanted to add my two cents. To make my blackberry work again, I ended up changing my password in Yahoo. Then I went over and changed the corresponding password on the blackberry setup site, then went back to Yahoo and changed my password back to the original, and went back to Blackberry and changed it back. I know this is convoluted and may be unnecessary, but it did save me a trip/call for help.

did you then resend service books and does yahoo messenger work for you now?
