BB Bold :: Continuously Locks Up Showing Hourglass After OS 6 Update
Apr 6, 2011
Since updating my OS to 6, my phone is a disaster. All I see is the hour glass. My phone continues to lock up. Should I (can I) change back to OS 5 for now until this thing is stable?
Even if my phone has been lying unused on the charger, if I want to start using it I get the "hourglass" sign that shows the phone is busy downloading something. I don't understand this as it happens even if I want to look up a contact. I can't dial or open a message or anything for up to two minutes while I wait for the phone to finish whaterver it is doing. It also drains the battery as I only get a half day's life out of the battery, even if I only used the phone minimally.
I live in Canada and when I cross oever to the United States i need to shut down my provider in order not to pay fees for roaming I`ve done this often in the past without any problems until yesterday.ver since i turned it back on, the hourglass icon pops up every few seconds which is extremely annoying My BB is only 18 months old but must say I seriously think i have a lemon. I`ve always had odd problems with it.Problems none of my friends have with theirs.This is really making me think of swithcing to Apple Does anyone else have this latest problem with their Torch 9800
I accidentally deleted my downloads/games folder on my 8310, I downloaded kaspersky for 8310 now i cant find the icon in the menu and my blackberry start showing frequent hourglass.
I updated my blackberry tour to the 5.0 version i believe through the wireless update. After the update was installed or so i think i returned to my phone to it playing the hourglass constantly and nothing for about 5 hours now. What do i do??
I have an LG G4. The voicemail message icon is showing in the upper left hand corner stating I have 2 outstanding messages even though all messages have been reviewed and deleted. I've trieeld everything I can think of including completely shutting down and rebooting the phone....
I have purchased this device from my colleague, he is a US citizen, this device worked for some time than suddenly asking searching after trying Airplane Mode Off/On , Reset Network Setting , nothing worked than I try to restore from iTunes unfortunately , I am not able to activate it. and it still showing searching...I know my ICloud  login Id and Password .
Blackberry Bridge stopped working suddenly on my smartphone and showing 'OFF' continuously with following message;Failed to turn off MAP services.Blackberry Bridge cannot start.Turn off unused serial port profiles under Bluetooth > Options and try again?
I have been using my bold now for about a week and I'm puzzled. I came from a storm2 and loved it. I love things about my bold a lot. Here is my issue, I have seen more hourglasses in a week with my bold than I ever did with my s2. I have done battery pulls and all the standard stuff but I find my phone is very laggy. Do I have a lemon and should I exchange it?
To add to my complaints for the Blackberry 9650 (internet browser problems, forced to use Bing, 5 minute boot-up time), the blackberry runs very very slow. Constant hour glasses. Compose an email results in an hourglass (not all of the time,
Feels like Blackberry is turning more into Microsoft than apple. Instead of quality improvements, we get more powerful hardware that runs slower with unpredictable feature availability and an eye for $ for sake of purely $. FWIW, I upgraded to 9650 from the original Bold with AT&T in late 2008. I am nervous about how slow the 9650 will be in 2 years if its this slow out of the gate.
Every time i lock the screen the SIM locks as well, meaning I have to enter the SIM pin code every time I unlock the phone! Also no one can call me since the SIM is locked. This happened once in a while on 1.6 but since my update to 2.1 this morning it happens every time.
Having recently updated the device software to 7.1 bundle 2061(v7.1.0.714, platform 5.1.0.532) I have noticed that when receiving a voice call the contact name is not displayed just the number, unless you know the number then you can't be sure who is calling? However after the call has stopped the name is displayed in the call log, assuming of course that the person calling is in the contact list
I had a perfectly functioning Bionic camera before ICS.During the ICS update (which was supposed to take 10 minutes!) the phone showed updating media database for over an hour and I did a battery pull to restart the phone since I needed it later that night. After a few reboots I could play music and see my camera gallery.Since ICS the camera app will stop working -- the screen goes dark but the camera won't load. It happens to FXCamera app and it happens if I call the camera via online banking to take a picture of a check. I can always access the gallery of pictures. If I clear the 8KB of data and the cache in the camera app and reboot I can then use the camera again. If I do a "fast reboot" or just clear data is still won't open. Only if data and cache are cleared then phone is rebooted. The camera will work fine, but hours or days later it will fail to open.
I'm trying to update the os on my Blackberry Curve from 7.0 to 7.1. I started at 6pm last night and 18 hours later the phone is still continuously rebooting. Should I pull the battery out?
I have a new Bold 9700 from T-Mobile running stock OS and once in awhile I get the message the keyboard has locked itself, soo, I then have to unlock it by pressing the two prescribed keys. Why is this happening and how can it be stopped?
My BBBold9000 has locked up on me a few times when on the web and I have been unable to get it to stop showing a 'busy icon' or shut down. Why would it do this and how do I shut it down if it happens again?
I have my device since a few days. If I want to type a telephone number I can only type 3 digits, or less, and then the device is locked and have to unlock it all the time. I can not even type a simple message, it always locks and have to unlock it like 10 times until I have completed my message.
I have a Blackberry Bold 9780. It was working fine till this morning until I installed an update for the Tube Map application. After that it automatically restarted and has been continuously doing so without even entering the OS once. In other words, it just keeps restarting itself without actually booting. I tried entering into the safe mode, even that doesn't work!
Last night my phone started rebooting continuously. Today I have found that it will only stayswitched on if I knock my O2 network connection off. BB and internet work fine but as soon asmy phone searched for network connection it starts to reboot over and over again
Today I got my new BlackBerry 9900. The phone restarts suddenly itself. I can't really work with it, because it restarts continuously. Even if I just look at the menu.
Media Player on my bold 9790 closed after the screen is locked. I have activated the screen lock after 60 sec. and apparently media player also closes with the screen lock. How can this be solved?
First day with bold. A web page that I visited now continuously loads without request no matter what I am doing with the device. How can I make this stop.
I thought my problem was a battery enhancer app, so I installed it. That didn't fix it. I used to connect my Jawbone to my Curve 8900 with no problems. I was having a problem with an older Jawbone ( the IKON) and so purchased the ERA. They both behave the same way on my Bold.
When making calls, the sound will keep continuously cutting out, and the icon in the top left corner will keep flicking back from the headphone icon to the regular icon, even though no headphones are in the jack...
On my BB, when I press the lock button on the top left, the screen goes black and it locks. I'm sure I changed it to this at some point from something else however I don't know how or where etc. My friend's Blackberry (same Bold 9700) has a lock screen that shows a padlock to say it's locked but I don't get this? Any ideas? This lock screen displays her background image and a little padlock in the bottom corner etc.
