BB Curve :: 8520 Stuck In Alt Mode?
Feb 12, 2011
My BlackBerry Curve 8520 got wet a few days ago, it's since been left to dry out with all parts removed on top of my Virgin Media box. I checked for damage today & it appears to be working fine, apart from the fact that it's stuck in alt mode.Any suggestions on how I can get it out of alt mode? The button doesn't appear to be stuck. The 'alt' icon in the corner changes to '123' when I select the left shift button, but when deselected it changes back to alt mode.I've done a few battery pulls, removed all third party applications & re-installed its OS. To be able to type normally with letters I have to either hold down the 'return/back' button, 'X' 'V' or 'B' button, or the '$' button. Whilst holding these I can select whether I want 'alt' or not, but then it returns when I let go anyway

About a week ago I did a battery pull on my Curve, the phone "started up" but got stuck on the loading Bar about 70% into the process. My Desktop Manager does not recognize the phone, so unable to do a software update.

I bought my curve 8520 about 5 months ago. And just yesterday when I tried rebooting it, it remains stuck on the boot loading screen. I tried battery pull, alt+shiftl+del, but all that happens is it getting stuck on the loading screen.I dont wanna format the phone memory as I dont have a backup of my contacts.

As per subject above. It has been that way for the past 12 hours. My phone was switched off before, and when I turned it back on, it has been in SOS mode. I've tried resetting the phone (taking out SIM card and battery), and I've also tried detecting my provider manually -- all to no avail. I've also made sure my SIM card is inserted correctly. Periodically, an error message with the words "net_rim_bb_simphonebook (213)" comes on. I would also like to add that wireless detecting is not a problem.

I've been trying to reboot my blackberry curve for almost 2 hours now!
I've read various topics and threads and even tried safe mode to no avail. I'm stuck on the reboot screen with the white progress bar around 70%
I've not loafded any new apps, I was rebooting after dropping the phone - however i've done this many times before and never had this issue.
I've tried hooking up to my laptop but I've never used it to sync or back up before and because the device isn't actually on it wasn't finding it.

I just had this bb since december, and it was working fine a few days, then it started giving me a message after booting up: Uncaught Exception 3>3 or something like that, I pressed ok the first time it happened so I didn't mind about it. Then a few days ago, my phone fell over my bed, and turned off by itself, I tried pulling the battery out and it wasn't turning on at all at first, then it turned on and the typical booting process: Red led> Blackberry logo on screen and below the grey bar loading, which only loads until like 3/4 of it. This has been happening for like a month.. the keyboard seems to be working. I've tried with another battery. It doesn't connect to Desktop Manager, jl_Commander or BBSAK.. nothing works, I've tried wiping it with jl_commander and it doesn't connect to the device.. I've tried with other computers, I've tried with other cables.

I performed an upgrade of the software today and it rebooted. However, it is stuck on the applications permission screen.
i can do soft and hard resets but the screen still comes back. It is asking for permissions for ColorID, idotn even want this app.

My phone is on this weird state now that it freezes and nothing happens, not even the little watch comes out and so I have to reboot it. But when I do, I have to use it non stop doing whatever for about 3 hours or so, not being able to leave it alone because if I do, even for a minute it will freeze all over again and the process will start over.But also, sometimes when I reboot it, it doesn't being to reboot. It just stays with the screen shut off and eventually the little red light would turn on and off but nothing else will happen. I left it in that state for about 10 hours and nothing.Right now it has been frozen for almost an hour, Ive had to reboot it about 25times today and I´m beginning to give up and getting scared for my phone.

I have a Blackberry Curve 8520. Yesterday it got stuck on a white screen, with a small black clock in the middle (the kind that you see when you're waiting for a page to load on the internet browser).Even if I turn my phone off, take the battery out, or put it on charge, this "white screen of death" as I've read it being described by other people online, won't go away!!

For the sake of modesty, this is my 1st Blackberry. Have to admit I was skeptical BUT it is a beautiful device despite it isn't the all-friendly Windows OS (insert sarcastic grin here). Now I have scoured a good bit of forums, websites, etc. yet I haven't been able to figure out how to switch TO portrait mode. Reason being, I have downloaded Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (gotta love vintage SEGA!) and installed it but when I go to open it (it's in my downloads folder) the screen says: "Landscape mode is not supported for this application. Please switch back to portrait" at least that's what I assume it says as some of the words are cut off from the screen, I reckon because it is, ahem, in landscape mode.

I have a Curve 8520, and suddenly tonight, I have a read message icon on the home screen that won't go away. I have no emails or messages at all on my phone anymore, and I cleared the messages from the advanced tab thingy on the desktop manager. I've done a battery pull, turned it off and waited a few minutes before turning it back on, and nothing has worked. I even tried sending a text message to my phone from my husband's, and it showed up as 2 messages on the icon, but when I deleted that new text msg, it went back down to 1 read message and is still there.

I charge the blackberrry battery up to 50%, then I unplug the charger then I turn it off. When I sleep, the battery drains so fast, I don't know what's happening, then my battery completely low, so I can't turn on the device.

It is under a year old and I've had no problems with it until last week when the 'alt' symbol started to show on the screen and stay there. With a few clicks of the alt key and waiting patiently for up to 10 minutes, the symbol would disappear.
I started to use my alt key less and less in case there was something stuck under the key.
Today I didn't even press the alt key when the 'alt' symbol appeared on the screen and I've been left with a useless phone for the majority of the day. I can't do anything with it and I can't get the 'alt' symbol to go away.
I've removed the battery, waited for a few seconds and then re-inserted the battery, but even when the phone resets, the symbol is still there. It's driving me insane.

I'm updating my BlackBerry Curve 8520 device software version from 4.6.1.272 to 4.6.1.314. I used the BlackBerry Desktop Software and clicked the "Update my device" button in updating my BlackBerry Curve device software version. The process was started last Monday, November 15, 2010 but until now is not yet finish (Thursday, November 18, 2010). Is this normal? I cannot disconnect my device because it said that "During these steps, do not disconnect your device or interrupt this process as it could make your device unusable."
