View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOK, 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?!

She noticed her battery was running low when she got home from school, so put it on charge.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
View 8 Replies View Relatedgot a 8520 a couple of months ago, and after two weeks the phone speaker would break up when making a call, so you could only hear 1 in 3 words someone was saying, and inbetween was silence.T-mobile sent me a new one out next day, but now after 4 months the new one has started doing it.Can make calls fine with ear piece, speakerphone is working for playing music, haven't tried it for calls, and handset speaker works fine for music too, but breaks up when phoning anyoneThe second time it happened was just after okaying an upgrade. Anyone heard of this before?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt seems like it happened after I plugged my bb into the computer for the first time. My wall charger will not charge my phone. I know it's not a problem with my charger because I was able to charge my old razr with the charger. And i've tried numerous wall outlets, so it's not the outlet I was using either.
My phone charges when I plug it into the computer, so i'm not sure whats going on. I just got this phone a few months ago after having problems with my oldd blackberry.
I don't want to have to get rid of my bb, because for the most part I love it, so has anyone had to deal with this? And maybe fixed it without having to spend money?!
I used to charge my BB using a cradle. Last week I went back to using the USB connection. Now, every time I
a) turn it off
b) charge it via USB
c) turn it on.
The Mobile network comes up as off.
I go to Manage Connections and check the box, and everything is fine again.Anyone have a clue what's going on? BB 8330, VZW, v4.5.0.77 (Didn't upgrade because their newer release is supposed to be less good).
I want to get a carphone cradle for my 8520. The only one that Mercedes can offer is for the 8300 series - 8300/8310/8320. Will the connections on this one be compatible?

I have:
BlackBerry Curve 8520
Windows 7
AT&T
Had my BB on Orange 1 week PAYG. It took a week to bring my phone number from previous carrier,
Meanwhile I was given a temp one. The number appears when I press send but although my number has now been transferred, the temp number still appears when I press send. Don't remember whether I input the number when setting up or whether it appeared automatically when the phone read the sim card. Please is there a way of me entering the new number or do I need to wait for Orange to do something, or tell Orange?I'm sure there is a very simple answer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy 8520 has done this since it was new (now 1.5 yrs old), and I'm sick and tired of it. When I get a call or text from someone on my contact list, about half the time it only shows the Number but not the Contact Name. This is very frustrating b/c I obviously don't have all my Contact numbers memorized, and so don't know who is sending me a text or phone call (this is especially annoying while texting!!!)I've talked with my service provider multiple times and they have tried to help, but say it's really an RIM issue and needs to be address by them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I purchased a blackberry curve 8520. The phone worked great and was one of the best phones I had ever used. But now it doesn't seem to respond anymore. The only way to get into my phone when turned on is to push the switch off button for about 3 seconds and then the phone will ask me to unlock it. This is kind off annoying because I'm not used to using the phone like this. I don't know how this happened. The only reason I can think of is that a few weeks ago I was pushed and I hit a wall with the phone in my pocket, this broke my g-key. The key did not fall off it just stopped functioning. This used to annoy me too but I learned to live with it. My question now is, will blackberry still repair the phone if I send it back ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust wondering if there is a way to block certain phone numbers from calling you?I haven't found any such option in any menu on the BB.am I not looking in the right place, or can you do that by calling your carrier?
