OK, this is not in the search that I can find. I have a bb 8800 with t-mobile.

I downloaded an application called bbcalls. I decided I did not want this application and deleted it from my applications list inside my advanced options, or so I thought.

I came to find out that while this app no longer shows up on my app list, or permissions list, it remains on my desk top and is still functional. I have pulled my battery, multiple times. I have wiped my phone only to have it show right back up again and still functional.

I am not sure what else to tell you. So, what is going on here? Any ideas on how to get rid of this from my bb.

Well, here is an update. I have wiped my phone which didn't remove said application. I have gone into my desk manager and through the advanced option tried to wipe all of my applications, which didn't work either. I have spoken to T-mobile blackberry people and they have not heard of such an issue before. I couldn't get to the RIM people last night as they were swamped. So, I remain with this issue and no more ideas of how to get rid of this application.

I've had that problem too before. But with a different program. I backed up my info. (everything but 3rd party apps) and restored through desktop manager with a clean firmware file. It worked fine after that. What I think the issue is, I think it embed itself in the system software. It has happened on my pearl. Download a clean firmware from www.t-mobile.com/BBupgrade. Select your model and get the handheld software. Restore your device with that, wipe from the handheld, and reinstall it again. It should be off by then. If not, I would call rim back with your case number. That's a really weird issue

Well, I have completely reinstalled my OS and in the process the "unidentified module bbcalls" was discovered and removed. I also removed all of my third party applications, which I will reinstall later. This seems to have corrected the problem. Now I only have to go back and reinstall the applications that I wanted to have in there in the first place.

dankarlinski, thank you. I think this is actually what I have done. You are the first one to mention having a similar problem. It is weird, you are so correct on this as well. Thanks for the help!

Are there many things out there that stick themselves to BB's OS? I have read alot about the growing trend of cell phone viruses out there. Fairly new to the US from what I understand, but there are tons of viruses for phones in China and Japan....from what I've read.

rjansen3, I certainly do not know about this, however, I must admit that having gone through this with this particular app, I wondered about the same thing. This has made me alot more cautious about the apps I put on my phone.
