Default Can't play WAV files

Please Login to Remove!

First I have OS 4.5.0.75 loaded on my Blackberry Curve 8320 from T-Mobile. I have my home voicemail setup to send an email when someone leaves a voicemail containing a .wav file of the actual voicemail.

It will not play on my phone but plays fine on my wife's curve (they have the same os). I get an error message of the media being played is of an unsupported format.

Anybody got any ideas as to why it won't play?

That very document shows .wav as a supported file.

Exactly, it works great on my wifes curve but not on mine. In an effort to fix the problem I downgraded and re-upgraded this morning.

Alas it still does not work.......

Is it just WAV files? Are you able to download/open every other type of attachment?

Option -> Advanced Options -> Applications, look for BB Attachment service.

Also login into your BIS and re-send your service books.

Are you on a BES?

I can't play voice mails sent as wav files attached to an email either. When I try to play or save the attachment, I get a red x

But my friend has no trouble on her Sprint 8330m. Is it carrier related, or BES related (she's on BES I'm on BIS), or just random? I'd *really* like to be able to listen to those voice mail wav files on my BB. I wasn't able to play them on 4.2 or 4.3 either.

The BES can control the attachments, and I do believe .wav are allowed on BES.

If you are on a BES I'd shout over to the IT/BES guy.

i am the BES guy. i am allowing .wav files without a filesize restriction (size set to 0). i've double-checked and triple-checked my IT policy in case there is something in there, tried a default plain-vanilla policy on my own device...just no luck...i'm convinced this is a device issue and not a BES issue, at least for me...
