Hi guys,
need you help. Have a storm and i have a “wap push icon” that I cannot get rid of. I have tried all of the advice above and it’s still there. I also have a “new email” icon that says I have 3 unread messengers but I’ve gone through the accounts and marked all as open but the illusive three are still at large..please help! I’ve also had replacement handsets and setup the accounts again but still to no avail! argh!

I am an idiot, sorry to bother you. I didn’t think to “scroll up” to find the Browser Message folder. Problem solved and thank you all again.

Thanks for the great information in this string. I have had the annoying globe icon for awhile with a 7 beside it. I have gone to messages/view folder/WAP Push Messages (do not have Browser Messages) and it’s empty. Nothing I do gets rid of the darn globe icon. Anything else I can try or am I missing something? Thanks!

To fix this just do a battery pull while the device is on.

Wait 30 second and then replace the battery – should be all fixed.

I have the blackberry curve 8330 and every now and then I cant scroll down the thumb wheel works in all directions except down some times it locks up for a short time and sometimes for several hours. makes it almost usless.

Hi, my blackberry bold, is just displaying a white screen and is functioning like a normal phone but i cant see the screen because its constantly plain white, so i cant check my emails, ring anyone, or send messages, please reply asap because the blackberry help line is absolutly rubbish, that ive been told to ring and i just had to listen to a tone.

thanks.

You cannot “highlight it and delete it”. It is an icon that sits above the main screen icons, and is not acessible by cursor. However, the initial method (locating the saved browser page in the message folder) DOES work. Thanks!!!!
