BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Buttons Non Responsive - Can Select Things But Will Not Recognize ANY Clicks
Alright this is my first blackberry ever, I sold my iphone to get it, I liked the concept, the style of the phone etc etc..I have had the phone for 2 days, everything was fine, I unlocked it, it worked fine.
Now out of the blue, the "click" portion of the touch interface does not work, I can select things, but it will not recognize ANY clicks, it wont recognize the send/end/berries/camera or anything, basically no buttons work, yet the soft touch to highlight things works fine.
I have tried the cardboard thing, did not work, I tried playing with the screws, nothing..Okay so As I am actually playing with it as I type this, there have been some ..developments.
The click screen seems to be working now, however the only physical button that seems to be functioning is the return key, the send key brings up the camera now and the end key does random stuff, the berries still has no response, neither does the camera button or the buttons on the other side.I am really trying to give this phone a shot, but since I bought it from a 3rd party, I cannot return it, I don't think.
The phone has been drying for 3 days, and it will boot up, however it will not recoginise my clicks on the screen (the phone clicks, and will follow my finger, but it will not complete the action requested) additionally none of the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen work.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Non Responsive To Clicking
So I just had a temporary freak-out involving my storm. For some reason, the screen of my blackberry was non responsive to clicking, every physical button worked but the screen simply would not respond to the touch. Some people suggested I pull the battery or reinstall specific software, nothing worked. Now I've seen other posts of people with a similar issue who have had to order new phones or send them in for repair, etc. The Fix: - Air Canister: All I did was take a canister of air, normally used to clean dust off computer hardware, I simply put the nozzle as close to openings in the case without unscrewing anything or voiding any warranties, etc. and blasted away.At first this didn't fix the problem, but through sheer perseverance did my screen begin to operate once again.Why did this work?: I would imagine, as some others have hinted, that the unresponsive behavior is the result of dust build-up behind the screen itself, interrupting connections necessary in the touch-screen process. Simply blasting this away removing the problem. But I'm not sure about this at all, and this process might not work for everyone but I know it worked for me and I didn't see anyone else post it anywhere so here it is!
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Freezes - Reboots And Non Responsive Screen
I have had my blackberry storm since it first came out. I have really enjoyed it so far... however, In the last 3 days it has been acting very weird. For one, it will 'freeze.' then i do a battery pull and it will sometimes freeze right when it boots up again. the times where it does not freeze, the screen is very NON responsive. by this i mean it is not scrolling up and down in my menu, it is not entering into applications when i click on them and it is not recognizing the letters i am typing in a text message. I deleted the 2 apps that i had installed right before this started happening (free tips and whippoh) but it hasn't done anything. when i plug it into my laptop through a USB it works much better, but only when it is plugged in. Idk about you, but i have my cell phone so i DONT have to be connected to a cord. one last thing about my phone, i do not have any screen protector of any form on it so for those of you who think it could be that, it isn't
If anyone would like ANY other information about my phone that they think could help feel free to ask. ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED. I have worked hard to put over 40 apps on my Storm and i really dont want to have to send it in to Verizon and start all over again.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Is Keyboard More Responsive If Held From Bottom With Left Hand?
Do you type with the bottom of the phone on your left hand or the vice versa (ie., which way do you hold it when you are typing). I find that the keyboard is responsive when i'm holding the bottom of the phone on my left hand. or do you think either way you hold it is about the same?
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Too Many Things To Do / When Have Missed Call / New Voicemail
A complaint I have about the Storm is that there are way too many things I have to do to "reset" my notifications, when I have a missed call and a new voice mail. Here's my itinerary for one such occasion: Presented with dialog saying I missed a call. Click button to go to Message list, see "Missed Call" entry. Phone number and time visible right there. In order to make the missed call notification icon disappear, though, I have to actually click the Missed Call entry, which is pointless to me, as it doesn't give me any more information than I had on the message list. Go to my text message list, and see the SMS text message I get (from Verizon?) that tells me I have a new voicemail. It has some poorly formatted information regarding the voice mail that I don't care about. Deja vu here: In order to make the new text message notification icon disappear, though, I have to actually click the text message and view it, which is pointless to me, as it doesn't give me any more information than I had on the message list. Call my voicemail and actually listen to it.
This seems like a lot of unnecessary steps to me. Here's what I think the process should be: Presented with dialog saying I missed a call (or calls). Click button to see information regarding it (or them). This clears the Missed Call Notification icon. Call voicemail. Done. Can anyone give some suggestions on how to get rid of some of these steps?
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: How To Remove All Of Previous Owners Things?
I just purchased a storm for my girlfriend. She won't be using the internet with it, or anything else. Just to play games on, text, and call. As of now anyway.My problem, is the phone used to be a Verizon phone. I've already unlocked it, so that's not a problem. However, I need to remove all of the previous owners records. Like at the top, it says "My number is xxx-xxx-xxxx". Also, the email still says the PO's email. I tried to get rid of that, but it will not allow me to get rid of that either.
Aren't there some buttons I can push, to get into a menu to change the number?Can I completely erase all of the Verizon jazz? The verizon startup screen, verizon icons, ect. So it's not a verizon storm, but just a blackberry storm.I did all of this on both mine, and her pearls last year or so, but since then I've moved onto an iPhone, and lost all of my BB knowledge!I've searched, but can't really find what I'm looking for. I did find a sweet click fix though!
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Touch Screen Not Responsive After Locking Screen
I always lock the screen them I put my storm in my pocket. I use the normal BB lock button on top of storm. Recently I've noticed that the screen is not responsive to touch after unlocking. Sometimes the screen will come back to normal after a few minutes, sometimes it will not until battery pull. Any ideas why?I have not installed any new apps. Running most recent full release.Different issue, I can no longer use quick pull. Gives me an error message, so now I have to physically pull the battery.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Can Select All Messages And Delete
Need to know if I can select all the messages in a folder and delete them rather than only being able to select what appears on the screen and then deleting them. Not swift with my fingers and it was much easier with my Treo 755p where it had an option from the menu to select all.. then I could just delete them....
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: How To Select Clicking Sound Option?

BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Select All Text Messages Easily?

BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Stuck In Select Mode In My Phone?
Seems at least once a day my phone thinks it’s in select mode. So I can’t do anything except a battery pull. I was hoping when I upgraded to 5.0 that this was just a software problem and would resolve itself.Is it possible it’s a hardware issue? I wouldn’t think so but wiping the device and reinstalling the OS hasn’t changed anything. It’s a real pain when you want to scroll somewhere but all it does is select everything like you want to copy paste.Anyone else ever have this problem? And for what its worth I got a storm2 yesterday but have already came back to the original storm, but thats a whole new subject.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: How To Get To Recognize Flash Drive?

BB Storm 9530/9500 :: 4 Buttons Stay Lit Up
My 4 buttons at the bottom stay lit up after the screen dims out. Any suggestions? I use storm slider, and it seems to happen both when i use the lock button & when it just dims out after time.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Buttons Became Overly Sensitive
Up until now I have no problem with my Storm (other than my nails needing shortened). This week I have noticed that when I lightly push the BB Menu button it brings up the window that shows all the programs that are running. THis is with a light short touch. Also....when I am typing on it I am having almost every other letter capitalized without using any pressure. It acts like I am using a heavier pressure and holding the key down when I am not. It seems like the sensitivity has changed...not only on the touch screen but also the BB Menu button. I have NOT changed the pressure that I am using.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Computer Wont Recognize Through USB?
First time I have tried connecting my Storm to my comp since the Windows 7 upgrade and it says "USB Device Not Recognized" and then I try to get it to located the driver with no success. The phone is also not being charged while its plugged in. Im sure it something small and easy to fix but im tired of looking!
-This happened to me for the first time about two weeks ago
-I went on the forums and tried everything to get it to connect so I could upgrade to the new OS
-I dont know what worked, but something did and I was able to get the new 5.0 OS. I tried basically everything, and when I was done and restarted my laptop it connected fine.
-Now i'm back to my original problem (Storm not being recognized) but I cant seem to fix it now as I did before.
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Computer Wont Recognize After Wipe?
I had a problem with my theme I was using and it made all of my icons damn near impossible to see without killing my eyes.I was told to whipe the device and reinstall the os.I used BBSAK to whipe it and now it is stuck at the 507 Error screen and telling me to reload software.My computer will not recognize it so idk what to do now!I use AppLoader and I did delete the vendor.xml.
First, now any hard-button can unlock my screen and I dont want that..Second, before upgrading while having the screen locked, when I long-clicked on the right button up the LED-light, it changes my sound to vibration or silent or reverse.. but now, I cant do it I have to go to the sound application in the Menu every single time..
BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Pressing Buttons Many Times To Register
I just got my storm for couple days, today I notice that sometimes I had to press on a button many times for it to register. I had my phone on landscape mode and trying to press into options at the bottom of the screen, i kept pressing it slow or fast and it just wouldn't go into options.Also pressing the screen in the center there is a click feel, but at the edge of the screens there is no click and it's difficult to select or click stuff at the edge.Is that response thing just an software issue or is my phone defective?

BB Storm 9530/9500 :: Screen And Buttons Starting Acting Strange
About 3-4 weeks ago...my screen starting acting strange. When I would hover a button (not clicking it...but to make it blue)...other buttons would become blue as well. Or the button I was hovering wouldn't turn blue and another would. When I would actually click the button...say for messages...the browser would start instead. Also...sometimes I would have the browser or gmail app open and after I clicked the BB button to bring up the menu...it would be completely frozen. It's like this periodically...but always occurs after a call...and the phone won't work for a good 1-2 minutes. This became worse and worse. So I finally did a complete reinstall of BB 5.0.0.328. Things were better for a week or so...and then it went downhill again. I haven't dropped my phone or added any new applications in months.
I have Verizon warranty...but if I go in there I have a feeling they are going to tell me that its a software issue and not hardware. I really don't know what it is...I just want the phone to work again.
