My BB curve 8520 keeps freezing at reboot a the exact same place, the e. Ive taken the battery multiple times and left it to load for up to 45 minutes with no luck. I've wiped the devices memory and its not possible to connect to the computer as for it connect it requires me to put a password in on my BB and since it is frozen it dosent allow me to choose this option.
Starting of today when i reboot my bb, it freezes halfway on the loaidng bar. I've waited for several minnutes and even tried with different batteries, i've also tried with no sim and i have left the bb to rest with no battery on sim in it at all.
My battery went lat this morning and when I got it on charge, it froze about two thirds of the way through the restart. It's been sitting there for 4 hours now, despite trying to remove the battery and start again several times.
My bb 8520 keeps freezing in example when it is inactive for approximately 30 seconds my phones freezes and i have to hold down any button and then it would then start to work back to normal.
My boyfriend recently got a BB from a friend to replace his broken one. when replacing the simcard the phone wouldn't turn on, not even when connected to a computer. So i tried to update the software however this failed and now the phone will boot to 2/3rds and then freezes. I have tried to wipe the phone and reinstall the OS however this doesnt work either. The program used to wipe does not connect to the phone and it appears I cannot overwrite the OS without wiping it first.
Whilst I'm at it... I have my own old curve which I then gave to my brother when I upgraded. He failed to tell me that he'd dropped it in water and just said the keys were broken so I was unable to dry it out at the time. The phone works but none of the keys or tracking pad do. I have upgraded the OS and even wiped the software and done a total reinstall and still no luck.
ivehad my curve 8520 for a while now, and a couple months ago the trackpad froze for a couple minutes... I didn't think anything of it because it started working again... That's continued happening, getting more and more frequent and now sometimes I have to restart my phone two or three times for it to work... Everything else on my phone works even when the trackpad is frozen I just have to find another way to get to whatevr it is that I am trying to do. I can't scroll up or down or side to side but I have found out a way to munipulate my way through options and different menus and hotkeys..
I have a Curve 8520 and the trackpad is constantly freezing. It's happening at all different times and while in different programmes. I've had the phone for about a year and my provider is O2 (UK).
My phone is v4.6.1.314 if that makes a difference.
I bought my nephew a Curve 8520 only last week. He has hardly used it and now has noticed:
(1) the button movements are delayed, (2) When you go to dial it makes the button noises but does nothing (3) won't access blackberry app world (4) battery running out too quick (hardly any use)
When I bought it from Phones4u it was the last Curve 8520 phone in the shop - the woman brought the box out which was already openend and started to set it up. The phone refused to come on, we had to wait 20 minutes for her to charge it - now I thought that all phones came with a short amount of battery.
I have a Curve 8520, and have recently developed a problem. When I open contacts to search for an address it freezes. I can escape by hitting menu and switching application to the home page again. Eventually I get an error message telling me I have an "uncaught exception" it tells me that the app is not responding and the process has been terminated.When it first happened I called Orange my provider and they sent me a new handset, I retained the battery and reloaded and then funnily enough new phone started same issue. It is using software v 5.0 so I followed advice on blackberry and tried to reload software but that has not worked?
I recently had my curve replaced after the trackpad stopped working. Now my new curve keeps freezing when I'm on the internet, the screen will get white lines across it which gradually get bigger until the whole screen is white. A reboot doesn't work unless the phone is plugged into the charger and the problem never happens when the phone is on charge.I've tried changing the browser settings so JavaScript isn't enabled, I've also reinstalled the software and finally decided to wipe my blackberry and restored it to the file i had saved from my old curve and I'm still getting the same problem.
I'm not sure whether it's linked to the battery as it also happens when making a call if the battery is low and when I reboot my curve after it's gone to a white screen the battery has usually dropped a few bars (usually from full to 2 bars)
my battery fully drained and I plugged it in it started to reboot but then at about 70% it froze and won't go passed this. I've left it for over a hour and even plugged it into my pc and the blackberry manager doesn't make any diff I think it doesn't even pick it up as it says device is rebooting/ needs charging.
how to reboot my curve 8520?i have app updates but cannot get into my app world until i reboot the device.it told me to hold down the power key but all that does is turn the fone off. the icon on my screen saying i have updates knowing i cant update them makes me want to throw the phone at the wall?
I've got my blackberry a couple of days ago and it seemed all fine and stuff but suddenly it started freezing occasionally and when I try to unlock it it doesn't seem to respond and anywhere I press goes to the missed calls list and starts typing the same letter whatever I press and kind of going crazy. Could it be a virus? Should I format it ?
A few days ago my phone froze (as usual) so l pulled out the battery so it would reboot and that'd fix the problem, right? BUT, after waiting almost 3 hours i got NOTHING. I gave it all night to finish loading but doesn't go further than "blackb-", the last part (-erry) just wont load Obviously Desktop Software doesn't detect the phone when i connect it via USB so i can't back up my files.
AI have look around the Forum and have found nothing that will help with the situation at hand.. I decided to do a Wireless Software update on my Blackberry 8530 (Sprint) and as the process began it came to a halt. The overall Restore Progress is stuck at 1% and the Current Database: BBGroups is stuck at 69%. I figured that I would take some time so I ran this update before going to bed last night, Well 9 hrs later and we are still stuck at the same progress. I tried to do a battery pull and that didnt do much, The device reset and automatically restarted the update freezing at the same exact place. There is no option to cancel the update and it will not allow me to even access my BB home page.
My fiance's phone is having issues, i've been trying to get a backup created and do an os upgrade on the phone to the latest release but I'm having no luck. everytime i hook the phone up to a system (have tried 3 with the same issue) the phone reboots once the drivers are loading on the system for the phone. This continues to happen as the phone is loading up and puts the phone into a loop until i unhook the phone from usb. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas how i could get a backup for the phone to atleast save her contacts and other information, or any idea what i can do to get a new os loaded.
Whenever I try to reset my blackberry it will freeze at 75% and the screen will go off and it will do it all over again, when I connect my bb to desktop software it will come up with a message saying the device software needs updating during the update it says "reconnecting to JVM" and the desktop software will disconnect my blackberry is there anyway to stop this from happening.
My phone will not switch on after BB told me to reboot having downloaded an App! My desktop will not recognise my BB when i attach! BB is stuck and i cannot do anything with it - apart from throwing it out the window!!
My daughters curve 8520 has crashed and will not reboot. All it does now is loads up to a white screen with an icon in the middle and the text "reload software: 552". The desktop software will not connect to the phone either.
After installing the Twitter update, my phone had been trying to reboot for over 30 minutes. It just keeps trying to boot up, and then stops and starts again. I am panicking! Did I just kill my phone by upgrading one of my apps? I took the battery and SIM card out for a while and nothing. My worst fear is that my phone is dead because I wanted to tweet which is ridiculous and now I'm gonna lose everything I have stored on it (pics, games, etc.).
Yesterday afternoon, I rebooted my device. A white screen appeared and it says reload software 552, I have looked all over the internet downloaded jl_cmder but it doesn't work. It wont even connect to the blackberry desktop via USB. I am not bothered about losing all my stuff from my phone, I just want it to work.
I have a Curve 8520. I was taking a little look around it last night and saw this "Memory Cleaning" option and I thought "I wanna clean it's memory of cache and such stuff" - so I enabled it. I then locked the phone and it said it was going to start and would take a few minutes. Half hour later it was still "going". By going I mean it goes to the white screen with the timer, after a while in the top right it does the whole "receiving/sending data" arrow thingy, then goes back to timer. Then it goes dark; the red light stays on, then goes out, and the white screen reappears.
I thought this was normal, but after it happening for half an hour I thought "surely not" - anyway I decided to leave it going overnight. When I woke this morning my screen was black; blasted thing must have been doing it so much during the night, it drained the battery! It's now plugged it, and it's doing the same thing - there seems to be no way of stopping it. The phone won't turn on. And it just keeps doing the same thing - I fear something's gone wrong and that it's now broken.
I tried installing an app and after installation, I was asked to reboot my bb. After the reboot, the error message Reload Software 552 came up on my screen. I don't have the box of the bb any more and I had never backed it up on the PC. I have tried all the solutions I found but to no avail.
I updated my app world yesterday and since it has rebooted my phone won't work it is stuck on the screen I can't use my trackpad or go to the menu but I have tried taking the battery out and it's still the same and it's been on charge all day but I only have a iPad 2 so can't plug my phone to the computer.
I have a Curve 8520. I installed a new theme today. It was the Beautiful Sunset in motion theme. Since then, when my phone reboots, the theme with its moving water appears, but nothing else works on the phone. None of the keys work and the screen display, other than the moving water, is frozen too. I have tried taking out the battery, waiting and then rebooting. All that happens is that the theme returns, and is stuck again. I have attached it to my laptop, but the Blackberry Desktop Software can't connect with the phone. I tried the "Start Run" App Loader, but got a message telling me the "Location is not available".
