BB Curve :: 8520 Randomly Change Letters To Symbols In Typed BBM Message
Mar 24, 2011
Well a couple of months ago, on bbm, if I was to type a message it would delete what I was saying and randomly change to symbols instead of letters, and it would be stuck on alt. Recently, I have not had the charger for three days, as my brother took it, so my phone was dead for three days. When I got the charger back and charged it up, the keyboard wouldn't work, then it would go dead even though I am pushing the button that turns it on. And the only way it does turn on is when you charge it but it lasts for 5 seconds literally. The weirdest thing is the light is still flashing?
Sometime typed letters will erase automatically. i tried with all types of keypads (mini,hand writing, full qwerty, numeric) software version v50. v51 not available.
After updating to new firmware via online. Whenever I type using the qwerty keyboard the letters do not appear in the box. Although they are there i.e. when I go back to message screen then what I have typed is there. Anyone who has same problems along with a solution please.
I got a Wifi Xoom with 3.0.1 stock firmware (like if I could have it in any other version without voiding warranty) and I'm having some problems with my Moto BT keyboard. It connects well, pairs well, types well and without lag, but from time to time, when writing things longer than an URL or a login (for example an email) one of the letters typed repeats and repeats like holding it's key. It's quite annoying, and one of the times, the repeated key was backspace, so it erased all of the text.
I just switched from a Blackberry to HTC Desire 601. In my contact/people list my contact's last names are written in symbols and letters. Never seen anything like it!
okay so for the past few months whenever I text people, they text back saying they get the message as a bunch of symbols or jibberish. It doesn't happen every time but it happens often. I went to verizon and they told me they couldn't help me and gave me the number to customer support which I have yet to call?
The keys on the key pad of my BB curve 8520 are inverted (4 of them) when I press the A key I get the Q and vise versa and so are the W and the Z. The funny thing is that the symbol keys on those same keys are correct! How I can correct this.
My daughter has bought a Curve 8520 in january and put her personal code in there with letters. Now we can suddenly not use the keyboards letters to unlock the device.Probably a combination of keys which I can't find in any blog or website
I've been receiving fowarded messages on a day to day basis and it always cuts out after a paragraph or two. Can anybody shed some light onto this problem I've been having. I believe it might be the network I'm on, or is it something else.
my curve randomly turned itself off this morning (battery at 90%) and will not turn back on. I have removed the battery and tried to charge it; nothing.
OK so basically my blackberry curve 8520 will turn on fine, but it keeps restarting itself at random times when I play music or if I am half way through writing a message to someone, if it restarts when I am playing music it makes a funny loud noise. It is really starting to test my patients and it keeps restarting when I type to people. Sometimes the blackberry will go onto a white screen before restarting, sometimes it will just freeze and go off, then sometimes it will just go off with a flashing red light. I don't know what is wrong with it and I cannot find another person with he same person
My wife has just started using a Curve 8520 and has had it for less than 1 month. In the past few days, they phone has started unlocking itself randomly. She's using the 'A' button to lock the keypad at which point the screen goes off (as I believe it should) and then after a minute or so, it unlocks itself and the screen comes back on.
I've recently just had to change handsets to the Curve 8520 model; mine is approximately 1 year old and previously used as a pay as you go phone but my SIM card is on contract.However, whenever I make or receive calls my voice will randomly cut out to the recipient for a few seconds and then return to normal but will reoccur shortly after even though I have full signal.
Anyone else suffering from their curve 8520 os: 5.0.0.681 randomly crashing and only showing a white screen as well as it being unable to reboot unless it is plugged in? It often occurs when I'm playing media, using apps and maps. Had the same problem with my previous phone so it was sent in for repair and replaced but I'm still suffering from the same problem with the replacement handset!
Starting today my music player has been randomly stopping during songs. I checked my memory card in another phone to make sure it wasn't the problem, and it wasn't. It also happens on the stock Blackberry Music. It will play for a minute tops, and then stop playing. The music player doesn't close, it's just like if I had pressed pause. Normally pressing the play/pause button at the top of the phone a few times will do the trick, but this is quite annoying. If I wait long enough the music will resume again. I also checked my device memory and it's not low at all, and this will happen as soon as the phone is on with only the mandatory programs running. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas what could be causing it? I've done a few battery pulls but I'm still having the same problem.
my screen randomly lining into pure white and becoming unresponsive. It requires a battery pull to correct the problem, and it doesn't seem to affect the way everything else is running. BlackBerry has had me do a 'clean install' on the device
I had to get a new bb becuase my old one messed up. With my previous plan I did not need the AT&T bb datapackage... I don't need one now. However, with the new phone, AT&T automatically added the BB dataplan. I cant get rid of it, and i dont want to get rid of the phone.
Heres what I did: I put my sim in another non-BB phone, call AT&T and deleted my dataplan. It worked. I then put my sim back into my BB, and a few mins later got a txt msg saying AT&T has added the BB data onto my phone. aaahhh! So, how do I change the IMEI number to my old non-BB phone, so that AT&T can't tell i'm using my BB?
i want my third party apps to use Google maps instead of BBMaps as BBMaps doesnt work.. i have a Curve 8520 therefore i have no GPS only GPRS. Apps that rely on finding your loaction will not work because BBMaps cannot find my location so i would like to change the default to Google maps but it doesnt appear in the drop-down list.
I have a blackberry curve 8520 and I would like to know how to change the conversation style. A friend of mine has the same make of blackberry as me, and when she goes into the options menu etc., she has the option conversation style. However, on my blackberry I do not have this option and it is frustrating me, seeing as we both have the same make of phone?
I just upgraded my blackberry curve 8520 smartphone to the newest software upgrade. Now when I lock the keypad I need to press the mute button to unlock it. My problem is, when I put the phone in my holster it always unlocks itself by rubbing the mute button in my holster. Is there any way to change the button to unlock the keypad?
I brought my bb off ebay and the seller never took his email off i have tried to change it and it won't let me, I have tried contacting the seller to ask him but no joy. please help
I have the Curve 8520 and I use the In The Know theme with the bottom sliding dock. I uninstalled Facebook from my BB but for some reason only calendar appointments that have the "sent with Facebook" at the top show up on my theme's calendar home area.
I want facebook completely GONE from my black berry but there's no calendar option that lets me get rid of the "Facebook calendar" or at least change it so when I make a new appointment it defaults to starting with my email instead of stupid facebook.
