BB Bold :: Screen Has Locked Itself And Wont Let To Unlock It
Jun 3, 2011
My BB has been working fine. It's set to ask for a password if its been untouched for 10 mins and I've never had a problem with that. I do sometimes lock the keyboard by pushing the button top left, but again that's never been a problem. Right now the screen is blank. If I push the ball or any keys, nothing happens. If I plug in a charger the clock comes up, but still nothing works. If I remove the charger I then briefly see the screen and if I'm lucky pushing the ball brings up the "device is locked" screen with options saying unlock, emergency or cancel - but it stubbornly refuses to respond to pressing anything else, goes dim and then goes blank again. The battery has lots of power (it wasn't flat but has been charging anyway) and I've tried removing both the battery and sim card several times - all without success.
My device is locked my password will not unlock it. Asks to Enter "blackberry to continue. Which I do. Says Last Attempt! Information will be erased on failure! I select OK. Screen reads: Enter Password (Final Attempt): I enter password and it does not work.
I'm experiencing some weird problems on my 5800 xm. When I unlock the phone after it has been locked for a while the touch screen doesn't react at all. But if I lock and unlock again, it starts to work. Not a very big problem but kinda annoying. The other problem is that none of the physical buttons are working, except for the on/off button.
All those problems came at once and from no where. I hadn't installed or updated anything recently when it came. I've tried to update to v.50 and I've tried a "soft reset" but it isn't working. I can't do a hard reset since the buttons used for doing aren't working.
It feels like it's some kind of software problem rather than a hardware problem or what do you think? Anything I can try before going back to the store?
Screen unlock pattern failed 20 times, phone is now locked pending google username and password, which I have enter hundreds of times with no success, I know the username and password is correct as I can log in via PC and view latest downloads on my phone etc.
Have tried to repair the phone via PC companion, everytime the download begins an error message comes up "unable to start update"
Have been to the optus shop and contacted sony over the phone, being told by optus that my phone is 7 days over its warranty and it will cost me to unlock, Sony helpdesk advised that it was "Easy" to fix and i just needed to repair the phone via PC companion, which clearly is not as easy as stated. I am left without a phone which is badly affecting my work, I have been told it will take at least 2 weeks for the phone to be unlocked if it is done by the provider, google password is not working.
I recently found out that my blackberry is network locked. So I can't use other SIM card besides the the original carrier network which the phone is locked to. How I can get the unlock code for free?
How do I remove the camera icon next to the "slide to unlock" bar on my iPhone 3 locked screen? It's a camera with 2 horizontal lines above and below the icon. I don't know why it started appearing. It didn't use to be there.
Just noticed my screen goes black when i lock the phone. Is there a setting to change this? Sorry im still new to BB.Btw, i just upgraded to the new OS .545
I have had my Bold 9900 for less than 3 months and in the last week I have experienced the following issue: The screen stays lit up constantly, which is making the battery run out very quickly. When I press the lock button the screen turns off for about 5 seconds, then lights up again, and stays lit. I can't see anything in the Options menu that will fix it. As I say, the problem has only been occurring in the last week.
Does anyone know how to change the default setting for the locked screen? Right now when I press key lock, my wallpaper shows for a few seconds, but then it switches to the big clock. How to I get it to stay on my wallpaper and not show the clock? I just upgraded from My curve 8300 to the Bold 9700 and the only thing I hate about it is the big clock that shows up when I lock the screen.
I was trying to unlock my iphone4 Baseband 04.12.01 with SAM but I didn't realise it was detected by Apple. SAM didnt work and now my phone is locked, asking for a compatible Sim card (may be it means AT&T but not sure) which I dont have. I only have T-mobile sim. My iphone 4 iOS 5.1 is already jailbroken and I want to unlock it but most important thing is I need to use it now..because I only have one handset. So can u suggest me how to unlock my phone without AT&T sim card. Should I send it to Apple Store or T-mobile ?
I have a BB Bold 9790, How do I unlock the screen? I do not have a password. I tried several basic ones as 000 999 123, but did not work. I understand from the forum I should not try 10 times, so I stopped trying. Is it possible to do a reset?
I purchased a bb curve 8520 a week ago and suddenly the keys became locked. I tried taking the battery out and putting it back in but that didn't' work. The phone comes on for a few second then goes off.
my Blackberry Curve 8900 is completly locked. The screen is only on when I put the phone in the charger, but my problem is also that the unlock key at the top is locked, so even when there are lights and energy in the phone I can't unlock it, and therefore I can't use it at all. I've tried pulling the battery out and in again about 3 times. I've tried taking both the battery and the sim card out. I've tried connecting my phone to the computer, which it can, but it didn't help me since the phone is still locked. I've tried resetting it by pressing ALT + CAP + Del. but that doesn't work either.
I have an iphone 4 and it is now password locked. How can I unlock it? I connected it to iTunes and it says that it cannot open because it is password locked.
Just wanted to ask as i found a bb 8900 lying on the road the other day....it is locked on a contract....is it possible to unlock the phone ....?and also will i need internet to use the mobile?
My iPhone 4S locked up twice when I swipped to unlock. Now won't start. I soft reset it both times and now it flashes the Apple icon followed by spining beach ball and that starts over indeffinately. This was after deleting apps becasue it said I had low memory. Before I had 600mb and then I had 2 GB after deleting a bunch of apps. When I plug it into itunes it says it cannot access becasue it is locked with a passcode, but it still shows the beach ball.
I yesterday purchased second hand factory unlocked iphone 3gs (iOS 4.2). I did "settings -> erase all iphone data and settings" and after that phone was not working for me. Finally I tried upgrade to 5.1. After that it did not detect my sim card.
I have one problem with e-mail.When I go to settings>mail,contacts,calendar my accounts are bleached and I can not do anything with them.They are locked. How I can change that?
I have BB 9900 bold. My operator is Turkcell from Turkey. My BB device is unlock by unknown reason. I using same operator and I know my devices supported my sim. I try to wipe , update version and reset factory but still my unlock screen doesn't t come for code entry.
My battery was going on my phone so I went and got the charger and on my return my phone had died. I plugged this in and gave it the 5 mins to charge up a bit. However when this had loaded and turned on - my screen was locked. I clicked the side button to unlock this which asked me to type my password in! It wont allow me to typeit in .... its like my phone doesnt pick up the buttons I am pressing. After turning this on and off several times whilst also taking the sim card out etc etc it still wont allow me to do get in my phone.
