I have a BlackBerry Curve 8520. I am trying to charge my phone (right now) and the battery just will not charge. My screen shows the icon with the drained battery with a bolt of electricity going through it. I have tried removing the battery from the back and reinserting, no fix. I know my charger is not broken.
i have a Blackberry Curve 8520. I plugged the phone in to charge about an hour ago and it seemed to work alright. I then went to move my phone plus charger upstairs so i could charge it overnight, plugged it in with the same charger it worked with earlier and no sign of charging. I've tried with my pc charger aswell and tried different plugs/chargers.
If anyone out there could lend me a helping hand with this. Well, im not a very heavy BB user but ive never had my batt go dead on me but it happened! i totally couldnt turn my phone on until i put in my charger.Then it happens randomly whereby my phone will heat up and the battery drops 5% every 10mins or so! until it shuts off!! It happened once right after i fully charged my phone and it shut off within the next hour.Anyone knows whats happening?? i suspected whether it was any of my installed apps that are draining my batt, so i shut off everything! i mean no msn no foursquare no twitter only emails are on but yet it still happens!!Help please? i hope its just the batt thats screwed not my phone.
i got my blackberry curve 8520 about 4 months ago and it wont charge, i have had no problems before now and just want to use my phone but every time i plug my phone in, the clock comes up but its not charging
OK, so I got my phone back from the O2 store yesterday, because it had a charger port error, the charger just wouldn't go in. I got a replacement phone, but I had lost my charger, so I bought one from Tesco, it ha the red LED for around 5 seconds, then it showed up on the screen the battery with the lightning through it. I took the charger out and put it back in, and after that it just wouldn't charge. I went back to Tesco and they exchanged the charger. Still didn't work, what should I do?!
My daughter has had her 8520 since Xmas and yest we experienced our first big prob! She noticed her battery was running low when she got home from school, so put it on charge. While it was plugged in the signal went on her phone the battery said it was drained and switched off completely! Now it won't charge or turn on any fixes very welcome as its still quite new. It does have os5
basically my phone wont turn on or charge and the led light doesnt come on when i insert the battery, i went to carphone warehouse and they told me i might need to do a update, so i came home and connected my blackberry to the computer by usb, but i cant do a update because my phone is totally dead, it will not turn on, and the blackberry desktop manager cant detect it when its dead, ive charged it for 4 hours straight and it still will not turn on, the chargers fine and so is the charging port as i recently got it fixed?
my Curve 8520 has broke 4 times!+been sent off every time, its so annoying! i've also topped up before most of these happend so while its getting 'fixed' its wasting my credit days!anyway to the point; my phone was on red so i plugged the charger in and it didnt charge? so i left it and carried on, on bbm and then it said 'battery to low for radio use' i tried charging it again and it just wouldnt charge! it ran out of bttery and i thought it was the charger, but then used my other charger and it still didnt work! where you put the end of the charger in the blackberry its very wobbly and last time i sent it off the whole inside bit of where it plugs in came out, but they fixed that..

I have an 8520 and I just came home from the hospital. I have upgraded to the 5.0.0.822 op sys the phone battery died before I was able to get home. When I go to plug it in after getting home it will not charge or even lite up when plugged in. I have tried plugging it into the wall and the computer but I get the same reaction from both and that is nothing. I have tried to pull the battery and it is still the same.
how to stop Texas Hold-em from running in the background. I cannot figure out how to actuall close it and I think that is why the battery is draining so quickly.
My phone battery won't charge above orange. it goes back down to red whilst still plugged in, then instead of the lightning sign, it is a small plug on the battery icon. It then charges again to orange, stops, and repeats. Do i need a new battery?
I have two fairly new 9320 phones. Both phones do not hold their charge for more than 24 hours. Is there a setting on the phone which I can check to potentially fix this problem? This is a new phenomenon. The phones were OK ( for holding their charge) when I purchased them. If it is relevant I recently spoke to my service provider about the poor signal in my area and followed their instructions to make certain adjustments on the phones to (marginally) improve the reception. Is it possible that this operation/adjustment could have changed the battery life characteristics?
My battery is not holding charge, i have replaced battery and it is still running out really quickly. How do i find what is running and using my battery and how do i stop them running?
I just got my very first blackberry Curve 8530. is if I download the software to my computer can I then charge my phone on any computer or must I download the software on every computer that I'm going to charge my phone on. My dilemma is I would like to be able to charge my phone at work but we aren't allowed to download personal software on our business computer so I sure hope that I'm able to charge my phone without downloading the software.
Ive got a big problem with my phone. It went dead last night and i tried to charge it with my pc and all i got was the red light. Once i got it to a wall charger the phone charged for a little booted and everything. It even accepted the txts i recieved while it was off. I leave the house for a couple hours i come back and the phone is off. When i plug the phone in nothing happens not even the yellow charge light. when i unplug the phone the red light comes on for a minute but the phone wont boot ive tried battery pulls and everything but the same thing happens everytime and i have no idea what to do. Ive never had this problem with any blackberry ive ever had.
how long I should charge the battery of ny new Curve 9360 before first time use? Also anything else that I need to know / take care before I start usign it?
my phone went down, it has a blank screen with a battery and a red line going through it. I have tried to charge it but it wont come back on. What does this mean?
ive had a blackberry crbe for about 4 months it is brillaiunt condition , but all fo a sudden the phone switched off and now wont turn on . ive tryed charging it but all that comes up is a empty battery sign with a red cross i had it on charge all night and have tryed 3 different chargers and 2 batterys and still nothing ?
I fell asleep last night with my phone on a low battery, I wake up this morning and put it on charge, the led light holds a red light (not flashing) for around 15/20 seconds then nothing.
My bb has been annoying me for sometime because it drains the battery so quickly. I've deleted lots of apps etc I don't use to try and help, and I make sure I properly close everything down so it's not running in the background etc. Even if I put it on standby mode the battery has usually drained by about 1pm even though it's been fully charged.Me and my fiance have the same phone so I've tried his battery/charger etc. If I use his fully charged battery the same thing was happening. On saturday though, it just will not charge at all. A red light comes on and goes and that's it. If I use a fully charged battery it will still last a few hours, but I can't charge it myself.It's a bit of a nightmare as my fiance had emergency surgery last night so we need to both have working phones so he can contact me from the hospital if he needs to, and I need to take his phone home to charge at night, but it's leaving me without a working phone.
Ever since RIM went down and i have installed OS6, my blackberry curve 9300 isnt not holding charge.The battery indicator will get to about halfway with little help and then the phone blacks out. Its starting to do it more frequently, it even did it when it was on charge
I just picked up two new nokia icons off ebay.. it was listed as new at least.. came in a box etc..
If i plug it in to charge.. it charges at about 1% per hour if that.. turn the screen on and it drops several percent,. use it unplugged and it rapidly discharges maybe 15% or more in a very short period of time.
Im guessing i got a bad batch?
Its very odd that both phones exhibit the same behavior.. and just for kicks i left 8.1 on one and put 10 on the other.
I have a Bold 9000 and it is draining the battery very quickly doesnt even last a few hours with a couple of calls and when its flat will only charge if I take out the battery and put in on a universal charger it wont charge with the blackberry mains charger, car charger or usb connection.I have bought two new batteries and all the same thing, turned off all applications I can see.The phone was bought new from an ebay seller in December and I cant get any response now from them and they are no longer on ebay.I have seen something about updating the system.
HI my 4 S doesn't take the charge any longer, and sometimes when I turn it off and plug it, it takes a little bit of charge but doesn't hold it long, and the phone get super hot. What should I do to fix that problem, I have donwload all the last version and the phone is only a few months old.
I have a blackberry 8520, I have had it for about 2 months now. My blackberry battery gets really hot than within the hour the battery dies. This happens randomly. First time it happened to me I was in a movie theatre and had the phone on silent. The second time it happened I was wearing it on my belt clip and had it on loud. I do not keep any apps running and usually only use the phone for txts and email. My fiancee bought his blackberry curve 8520 the same day and he has the same problem. My blackberry is updated with the latest software.
What do you do save battery life? I always put phone in standby mode using mute key found this saves a lot and screen brightness down to 20 %. any free programs that free up ram memory like close unused programs after 5 mins of inactivity of that progra by the user
