Mar 13, 2011

I havn't used my bb since i left t-mobile about a year ago. i would like to unlock it to use a different carrier. I forgot my password to unlock it and. well i got scrubbed. What do i do from here. The network MEP code i had to buy to unlock the phone wont work and i only have 5 attempts left on that. I've e-mailed that website about the situation, just thought someone here might know whats happened to my bb and why i get an error code.

Curve :: BB9320 Unlocking Itself Randomly

Oct 16, 2012

I purchased a BlackBerry 9320 last week, and at the start of this week the phone started to unlock itself when ever it wanted, even if it was on the table and not being touched. I restored the phone to its factory defaults and this has made no difference in trying to resolve the problem.

BB Curve :: Locking And Unlocking 8900?

Apr 11, 2011

Each time I press the lock button or I hold the A key, the display automatically turns off and the phone is locked. I cannot check the time on the phone or see if I have any new messages without unlocking it, checking, then relocking it again.

This may seem really miniscule but on my old hanset when the phone was locked if you pressed and of the buttons on the keypad the screen would light up, not unlock, and i could check the time or whatever.

BB Curve :: Keep Locking And Unlocking Several Times?

Apr 11, 2011

Device info Your carrier: T-Mobile Model info and OS version: Curve 8900 and Blackberry OS v4.6.1.231

Apps and free space Did a battery pull fix your issue? Temporarily Apps installed and their version if possible: No apps because I do not have internet on the phone

When writing your question Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before:

I didn't do anything to it but before the speaker would fuzz in and out of call and then it started doing that permanently. Afterwards my phone just started to lock and unlock several times before it ultimately locked me out even after I tried to press the unlock button. I tried pulling out the battery several times and it alleviates the symptoms for about 3 minutes and it goes right back to locking and unlocking again.

BB Curve :: 9320 Faulty - Keeps Locking / Unlocking Itself

Dec 29, 2011

I recently upgraded to a new BlackBerry Curve 9320 smartphone in about September 2012. Recently it is acting all faulty. It keeps locking and unlocking itself. The trackpad gets stuck and will not scroll but then will scroll in some apps or menus. Is it a software or hardware fault? What can I do to sort it out?

BB Curve :: Phone Not Unlocking When I Press Mute

Oct 23, 2011

I bought a Blackberry 9300 Curve (3G) at the end of August, with OS 6 on Tesco Mobile. Over time it has developed the problem that it will not always unlock when I press mute, so I have to do a battery pull or wait at least ten minutes before it actually lets me unlock and use the device. Literally what happens is I press the mute button and the device remains completely locked, really irritating when I have the LED flashing at me too! It mainly happens when I'm messaging someone a lot, so locking and unlocking really frequently.

BB Curve :: Unlocking It To Enable Network Transfer?

Nov 27, 2012

I am in the process of transferring between networks. My old network (t-mobile) have cancelled my account and I have received my new sim card from my new network (3). The trouble is my phone will not accept my new sim, as i require a subsidy pin to unlock my t-mobile blackberry. I have contacted them, but as the account is now cancelled they can no longer give me the required pin.Instead, they asked me to contact blackberry directly to get the phone unlocked.

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Unlocked Att 8520 For Tmobile - Can Setup Email

Aug 11, 2010

I have an ATT 8520 Curve unlocked to work with a tmobile sim card and have a few questions...Now that's unlocked I cant setup an external email account (hotmail, gmail, etc...) that icon is missing from the setup section. how can I get that feature? can I also use the bbm feature? I added a friend (and vice-versa) but it just stays as pending. is it possible to bbm? for the above 2 do i need to get the bb data plan so they can work? I've read elsewhere that the best way to get the features would be to load the tmobile handheld software. I went to tmobiles site, I enter my ph# - select the 8520 - click on handheld and it takes me to their 'shop for phones' page. I guess they now by the number that i dont currently have a bb. So I tried a friends ph# from tmobile who has a bb and it still took me to the 'shop for phones' page. So I Am hoping it's just a link glitch going on right now. I did download from this forum the 5.0 OS "8520wifiM_PBr5.0.0_rel860_PL5.2.0.47_A5.0.0.509_W ind_Hellas.exe" which obviously is not tmobile. What would loading this different OS allow me to do? Or what features will I have available? and I have lowercase 'edge'.

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Official Notice Of Passing Over Of 8520/30

Aug 3, 2010

Mods, Please do not move this as it is not a discussion of OS 6 but of the 8520/30 and it's lack of OS 6.

We now have official word from RIM via press release today that unless you have a 9650, 9700, or Pearl3G you have to buy a new phone to get OS 6:"Subject to carrier certifications in the months ahead, the new OS is expected to be available for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650 and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G, as well as future BlackBerry smartphones."

That being said, are you going to be dumping your 8520/30 for something new just to get OS6?

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: 8520 Will Not Turn Back On

Apr 19, 2010

My 8520 was working fine last night but the battery was down to 10% charge.

Charged the battery up and phone worked fine and I turned it off before going to bed.

The phone turned on fine this morning and was showing a full charge. I did turn it off when I got to work and when I went to turn it back on when I went to lunch I got nothing. The LED glows briefly and faintly when I try to power the phone on.

I tried hooking to my car charger but with the same results.

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: O2 UK - 8520 Which Software Version?

Jun 16, 2010

I did a search but apologies if this has been covered already...

I just got my new Curve 8520 from O2 (UK) and the software version is 4.6.1.314.. this seems to be really old?

Should I try an OTA update or should I force one using the links I can probably find on here?

I'm having a few issues with gmail not notifying me and a few other things, and I figure they have upgraded software for a reason!

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Updating Firmware On 8520

Jul 10, 2010

I'm having a bit of a problem updating to the latest version of firmware for my 8520. Currently I've got v4.6.1.314 but Vodafone have released v5.0.0.1168 so I'd like to upgrade to that.

I've already downloaded and installed the firmware on my computer but when I try to use the App loader to install it on my blackberry it tells me v4.6 is the most recent available.
Any ideas why v5 won't show up when I try to install it?

BB Curve 8520 - 8530 :: 8520 To 5.0

May 15, 2010

I'm trying to update my 8520 to 5.0, and no matter what I try I cannot get the thing to work, I've tried to delete and reinstall the update of my computer many times (5.0.0.509, platform 5.2.0.47), tried unplugging the internet, turning off connections on my phone, taking out the SD card, I mean just about everything, except wiping my phone, obviously I'm saving this for a last resort. I'm not on a carrier (etisalat) where the update is released, and probably won't be for a long time. So I've deleted the vendor file and all that, and when I go into loader.exe or Desktop Manager, the only option for my phone is the 4.6 software.
I don't know what else I can do?

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Is The 8520 Housings Compatible With The 8530?

Apr 6, 2010

is the 8520 housings are compatible with the 8530? I know the answer is probably yes because there's no differences at all in the phone not like the 83XX series. Also, mine is Grey OEM by Telus. I just don't know what colour i'll customize it, any Idea? I like black and white just like my old Tour, but there's white 8520 so it would be less unique
