BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Taking Apart Telus - Screen Off
May 18, 2010
i was in the process of taking apart the 8530, and i got the screen off, then went to remove the bezel. in all the video's i found on Internet they were taking apart verizon phones and the oem bezels are different. the telus bezel is in 2 pieces. the telus sign in the bottom is seperate from the bezel. is there screws holding this telus piece down or do i have to really pry it up. i put some decent force on it but it still didn't move.

I've noticed that when the Blackberry loading page start up and the little status bar reaches full, it takes a few seconds longer to bring me to the home page. Before, it would fill up, then like 2 seconds later the carrier splash page would come up and then my homescreen. Now, it stays on the black Blackberry loading page for at least 10 seconds before the carrier logo comes up. Is this normal? I don't my phone to die on me or something.

I've had my 8530 for a little over a month, every once in awhile after I end a call the screen goes blank but when I use the track pad the screen comes back in sections. After I use the track pad to scroll upper left then upper right the bottom right and bottom left the screen is normal. Has anyone else had this issue?

I recently purchased a brand new Blackberry Curve 8530 from Telus. Bought it outright so I wouldn't be stuck with it for 3 years if I wanted to upgrade. Anyways...So I'm on the Blackberry $40 a month Email and IM plan, great plan! But I want to unlock my new device so I can take advantage of the built-in GPS without having to pay for the data fees. Is this possible? I bought the phone outright so I think I should be able to do this without breaching any contracts. Am I correct in assuming that if I unlock it I won't have to pay for a GPS service with Telus or data fees for using the GPS?

I understand lots of people have had the same problem, but I just cannot find a solution which works for my Blackberry 8520!It has a white screen showing nothing, it boots once you put the battery in, and the only way to power it off is to take out the battery, I think it also keeps rebooting.I have replaced the screen - still white screen.I have re-installed the OS - still white screen

I looked through the forum and couldn't find this question answered before, so please forgive me if it has.Is there any way to do away with the Home screen altogether? I'd like to be able to just have the Apps shown. I'm sure there's probably a theme out there to do it, but I'd rather not have to use a theme.
I've got an 8530 from Sprint.

Hey everyone, I'm a new Curve 8530 user with sprint and have had my 8530 for about 6 days now and I just happened too look down at the screen while it was locked and the bottom left corner is full of dust on the inside.... Has anyone else seen this on the 8520/30 yet? Is it difficult to get a replacement device?

What's the best way to get rid of the dust under the screen of a 8530? I recently noticed this and my carrier said it was caused by dust getting in through the speaker area on top of the phone and that there was nothing they could do, they tried using a canned air, but didn't budge. I asked both U.S. Cellular and Verizon reps what I should do and they say that I need to replace the phone. (Contact my Insurance Company, which is DTS Insurance I believe my carrier uses.)
So far to correct the issue I've applied a case that covers up most cracks and a privacy protector which made it so I can see the dust under the screen. but, still I'd like to know how to fix the issue.
So far the only thing I can think of is to take the housing apart and probably just put a new housing on, but clean the lcd underneath the plastic screen.

I have a ton of dust under my screen right now, and it is really starting to bother me. Is there any way to get the dust out of the screen? I don't mind taking the phone apart if it gets rid of it. I already tried to take the phone to the VZW store, but they didn't do anything.

So basically I must have pressed Alt and Enter and the language options came up. I cleared that screen and now every time I go to type whether in an email, bbm, sms, or my browser I have a little EN box in the top right hand corner of my screen. And it's pretty darn annoying. How do I get rid of this?

Just out of curiosity, what do you put on your lock screen? I currently have my name and my husband's phone number, since putting my own number on there would be pointless. So, what do you have on yours?

Just had to downgrade from a Tour to Curve 8530 and I know the screen resolution is much different in terms of clarity. What is the clearest font that looks the best on the 8530? I dont see any option for smoothing.

When using the browser other other app. And I select Switch Application. How do I set which icons are available from the pop up screen? And sometimes they switch. I want to be able to have icons I use. Not what my BB 8530 thinks should be there.

It will be a couple of days before I can purchase my skin from BSE and was wondering if anyone has any tips on protecting my screen from pesky scratches (I have a tiny one already from over-cleaning the screen, damn fingerprints!) until then. I know it would help, if not eliminate, my fear of scratches if I could just stop cleaning the screen, but those fingerprints drive me mad!

Now I've had this phone for about 2 months...decent phone, few problems here and there but good for the most part.
I originally got one which had a dead pixel on it, and was sent a replacement phone free of charge, no hassle.
Now with this phone, about a week ago I noticed a black faded spot on my screen upon waking up, having it charge overnight.
You can really only see it when there's a bright white background or if you tilt the phone, its about 1/4".
I called Fido, they said to do a system restore/backup to see if that resolves the spot. Didn't work.
I call back, they said they'd ship one out and have a tech check it out and determine if it was caused by physical damage, and if it was I'd be invoiced $200 for a refurbished phone and not able to get this unit back.
Now I'm pretty sure I didn't drop or ding or pinch my phone, but I cannot be entirely sure. It's also protected by an Otterbox Defender series case which is pretty rugged...but I'd hate do be billed for $200 when I guess I could learn to live with the spot, but still sucks considering I paid full price for it and I don't believe i caused any damage to it..
Anyone else experience similar problems with their LCD's?

I have a curve 8530. How do I change the icons on the home screen? Also, the messages icons, there are 2, one plain envelope and one envelope with a earth on it. Do the same messages from the earth one (which I assume means email) go into the plain envelope one which I think means ALL messages including BB PIN Messages? And then to other texts show up in the plain one?

I have several confounding issues. My new Curve 8530 will not boot. Nothing appears on the screen. The only thing it does is flash the red LED indicator once and then 4 quick consecutive times. In searching the forum, suggestions say to run apploader. However, I get stuck because my device can never be recognized by my computer!I was installing a factory update over the air. I cancelled the download because I thought doing it over Desktop Manager would be much faster. I connected the device via USB (for the first time ever). Drivers were recognized and were being installed. After a while, nothing happened with the device OR the computer. Now I have a brick of a phone that only blinks the LED at me. The device cannot be detected by my computer when I run apploader directly or through Desktop Manager. Yes, I have also tried fiddling with the Connection Options in DM.

One of our employees just got a new AT&T BB 8520. By default, it goes to the "short home screen" where it only shows one row of icons instead of the full menu screen. Is there some way to disable this so it will show the full home screen by default and not require you to press the menu button to see it?
