BB Curve 8300 :: In Salt Water / No Backup In 4 Months / Can Retrieve Info
May 9, 2010
My friend dropped my handbag into the sea a week ago.My blackberry curve got wet but not soaked. Ive dried it out as best I can, but it still wont switch on.I havent backed it up in over 4 months! Im gutted that all my information may be gone for good..Is there anywhere I can send the phone to get it booted up for just long enough to retrieve my information? I dont mind paying for the service, as long as I get all my info back.

I just upgraded the software to version 4.5 and in doing so lost all my photos and addresses. I see that a backup file was created (named LoaderBackup-(2010-08-08).ipd) that now resides on my computer. Is there a way for me to access this file to restore photos and addresses, etc? I'm willing to go back to the previous software version to do this.

He rinsed it immediately in fresh water and we now have it in a bag of rice. Is there a way he can retrieve the pictures off of it? We don't think he had synced with iCloud.

I have been religiously doing auto-backup on to a remote hard drive. But now I cannot seem to access any of those files at all. It keeps saying I have no administrative permission to view the files. Even when copied to my desktop, I can't use them to restore.The issue that started this all is that I switched computers. And every time I sync, the desktop program wants to add or delete about 1200 past calendar items. I have been reticent to allow the sync to continue because I did not want to lose data, but today I said, "what the hell" and let it continue. It deleted everything from BOTH the handheld and computer prior to May, when I started using the new computer. So when I try to reinstall the older backup file to retrieve the lost data, now the program won't let me access the files I saved so religiously.

I dropped my bold in the ocean today, it was washed around by the waves a bit lol. My sim and mem card are working fine in a bb pearl. The bold is drying out in a tub of rice. I desperately need to access the emails on my bold that I had sent and received and we're in my inbox. I was hoping they would appear when setting up my pearl but only new emails have arrived. Can anyone help me? The documents I need are to and from my lawyer and as much as I know how stupid I am not to have them backed up, I have a lot riding on their content.

My blackberry crashed and I can't get anyone to tell me how to retrieve the info from my Desktop Manager Software.I got BB to tell me how to save it as a zipped file, but they (and Verizon) will tell me how to convert it so my laptop can read it. I'm looking for my memo lists and pictures, mostly.My calendar, if possible, but I have a hard copy of that.I upgraded to an I Phone 4, which is why I don't have a working BB to just plug into my laptop.

I've only had this phone for a few months and the battery life is awful, 10 texts later and it's almost dead, one quick phone call same thing. the screen goes dark not long after last communication, I've tried deleting removing apps. This is really odd at least in my opinion I basically only answer a few texts a day and maybe 2 or 3 bbm or nothing at all. wi fi is off.

I purchased the phone from vodafone in New Zealand in Jan and have since moved to Thailand, today I sent an e mail, put it back in my bag and pulled it out a few minutes later only to find that half the screen is white and the other half has pixelated lines running through! I have tried hard and soft reset but to no avail! Will I be able to get the phone repaired in Thailand under some sort of international warranty or what is my best way to go about getting it sorted?

I have backed up my Torch using the BlackBerry Protect application, then I restored it at a later date. I can view my contacts but not my SMS, MMS or emails? I just get a little green icon on them with the date but I can not see any information.

I have recently updated to a new iPhone 4S and want to back up/sync all of my contacts and calendar infor from my old iPhone 3G to my husband's MacBook Pro and then add it all to my new phone. I understand that this needs to be done via iTunes but am worried that if i sync it this way it will wipe all of my details on my phone and replace it with y (empty) ical info from the MacBook?
I have already backed up the phone using itunes - backup - but when i click 'sync calendar' in the itunes prefs it only displays the calendars on the mac (Work and Home) and not the phone (Calendar)

Unfortunately I lost my LG G3 and the thing I need the most is my Quickmemo notes I had. They are stored somewhere on the cloud? I do remember seeing some sync settings but now I can't remember and wanted to retrieve them asap.

I use Ray under official 2.3.4 / built 4.0.2.A.0.62 -> This built is not rootable as indicated on XDA and failed with UnlockRoot.
1. I bought with my previous smartphone Titanium BackUp Pro to backup and manage my Android Phone. Do i have to forget this with my Xperia Ray ?
2. I never use Twitter app, Facebook app, fun to download app, video unlimited app that are automatically loaded on boot. When i go to manage apps menu, i only can "force stop" for those apps. So how can i uninstall or unload them on boot? without be able to root my phone ? adb is a solution ?
3. For some reasons i want to keep wifi connection active even if my phone is in sleep mode, can i manage WiFi sleep policy without root permissions?

What happened is my x10 stopped charging so I did a full backup, using backup and restore, so I had all the information saved. my service provider, when they called to replace the unit, advised me that they no longer supported the x10 and the handsets they could offer me were Blackberry!So although I do have an Android phone now (as well as the Blackberry) it's not an x10, or indeed a Sony Ericsson.Is there any way to get the messages, short of finding someone with a pre 2.3 x10 (as I believe backup and restore doesn't work on 2.3) who will let me restore them to retrieve them that way?

My phone has been acting really strange recently (multiple apps shutting down, long app loading time, extremely bad battery life-- almost 20% decrease with 2 hour use) So I visited apple store today and they told me that all of the symptoms were due to water damage of my phone.
And water damage was least of my suspections. Okay so my phone has been near water, but never in it. I take my phone to the shower sometimes for music and that's the closest my phone got to water. The apple store showed me how the supposed to be white sticker inside the charging jack turned red and they told me that my warranty is now void.
They also told me that I need to pay $200 if I want a replacement and that there is nothing they can do when I told them that this phone has never been in water or suffered water related accidents.
I asked them if there was only one water damage indicator in a iphone. The person told me that there were four, two on the outside and two in the inside. He opened up my phone and told me that only one water damage indicator (external one) but they only need one indicator to turn red to void my warranty.
When I repeatedly told him that I never had my iphone near water he told me that it only takes one drop of water to trigger the indicator and that it could be anything like a raindrop. I think this is absurd.

I bought an iPhone during my last vacation and took 400 pictures before syncing, straight out of the box. When I got home and plugged it in my laptop, it synced with my old iphone, erasing all pictures. How can I get them back? There's no backup, since the iphone was brand new to my macbook.

i'm trying to get my iphone synched with my home computer. I had many contacts entered directly on the iphone and many more synched from my work computer. I retired and now need to synch both. I got the work contacts into my home outlook and synched them into the phone but in doing this I lost the contacts that had been entered directly. Now I need to get the lost contacts from the backup and into my outlook. before the upload of the work contacts i had synched with itunes which apparently makes a backup. i have subsequently synched with itunes. how do i find and retrieve the backup before the upload?

iPhone 3G, Windows XP Pro

My father just passed away a few days ago and I wanted to keep the conversations we had over text messages, but it was over 30 days ago and it just deleted a conversation we had on September 13th. I've been trying all day to see if there is a way to retrieve the text messages, but I can't find a way. I will do ANYTHING as these are memories I will only be able to hold onto. Is there a way to retrieve the text messages by sending the device to RIM for them to retrieve or anything?
