BB Curve :: Cannot Scroll Past Certain Areas In Apps?
Sep 23, 2012
I encountered this problem a long time ago but it just recently became very disruptive.(first off, my phone is a BlackBerry Curve 8530)It appears that a bug causes the trackpad to stop scrolling past a particular area for whatever reason.Some time ago, I encountered this problem in my iheartradio app. I was unable to scroll through all of the genres to get to the one I wanted. I can't remember which, but for all intents and purposes, let's say there were 20 genres. I could scroll down through genres 1-15 but I could not scroll any further in order to get to 16-20. I never figured out why it did that, but the problem was "resolved" after I updated the app (because of the interface change). The problem went away becauses the list of genres were oriented in a very different manner.
Now, I have encountered this problem in the App World app.I was bored and started playing in App World and came across "iSpeech Translator" (which is No. 25 in the "Top Free" category). When it was installing, I hit the back button to go back to the "Top Free" list (did this cause the problem?) and now it appears that my phone became "stuck" at No. 25....in ALL categories. Top Free, Top Paid, New Arrivals, Top Rated....in all of them, I cannot scroll past the 25th app....and it is incredibly frustrating. I can only scroll from 1 to 25...and no further.I've tried reinstalling App World, downgrading App World, and pulling the battery but nothing has worked so far. I was unable to find a reference to my specific problem through Google so I'm not sure what to do.
Last night my phone froze. I took the battery out and reset it. I put the batter back in. It turns back on and does the security verifying and then shows the main screen. The issue is that i try to scroll through the applications and it does not respond. I cannot dial numbers or anything. It just stay on the main screen. When I pulled the batter I notice that there is a red line on the white part near the pickups on the battery.
I have a blackberry curve 8520 and my BBm messages go through only in certain areas which is really starting to annoy me! It used to work at my house all the time but now my messages won't go through at all!
I cannot scroll to the right or come back to the left when I select "all apps". This is a change as somehow this selection was changed by me inadvertently. When I open "all apps" I can only scroll down and the matching letter appears on the right side i.e. A thru Z as I move my finger. Previously I swiped my finger to the left and a new app screen appeared. To go back I would scroll to the right. Now, I can only scroll down to see all apps. Changed something somehow and don't know how to get back..
I have had my bold 9000 since it was released and lately the scroll ball has been a pain it wont let me scroll down. I`ve cleaned it with alcohol also put the phone on its face on a flat surface rolled it around it that way. any other ideas?

I recently acquired a bb curve 8520 and it won't get past my bb I'd details. It doesn't say invalid I'd just can not access at this time which has been going on over 24hrs now!
I need some expert help on loading the continued error I am receiving while loading the software to my 8350i. After going through the tutorial on crackberry.......everything appears to be loading just fine when this same error continues to display:
An error has occurred while updating your device's software.Device communications error encountered. [A:0x0000000F] Please try the following: - Disconnect your device and restart your computer. - Restart the loading process.
How do I get past this and reload the software successfully??? I have desktop manager closed and am loading the correct software.
I need help please! My curve won't load past the white loading blackberry screen. I downloaded an app from the app store and it crashed my phone. I called my carriers tech support but they are backed up and it might be a days before they can get back to me.
This is my first Blackberry. It's a Curve 9320. I switched it on, and it comes up with Device Language Selection Screen with English (US) and a down arrow, and an OK box. Nothing I've tried gets me past this screen. I would prefer UK English, but either English would do if I could use the phone! The paperwork that came with the phone seems to assume you know how to use it. Searching the Blackberry site hasn't come up with anything useful.
I dropped my phone I've had for the past 2 years for the last time. I need to access my contacts but I guess when it hit the ground the face buttons got disconnected so I can't do anything at all. I'm due to get my new phone this tuesday and I have a couple hundred contacts, most are important. What should I do? I've tried syncing it and backing it up but that's only for the media card. I can't access the device memory to get into the contacts. I also have like a bajillion texts left unchecked.
my phone recently re-started itself and now wont go past 70% on the white loading bar,ive tried charging it without the battery,charging it with the battery,leaving the battery out over night,leaving it on for a few hours and nothing seems to work
I have a blackberry curve 9330 and it won't make it past the rebooting page, one day my phone didn't want to respond that much so I took the battery out and put it back in and it won't finish loading
I recently upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5. There were no problems at first, but suddenly my screen hanged. After rebooting my phone, the touch interface was no longer working properly. Whenever i touched an area, a white frame would appear around the item touched. I would then have to press the area a few times in order for the number or letter to appear. Swiping doesn't work, everything else is very laggy.
There are two areas of my Droid 2 Global that do not work. The far left side about 1/8inch running top to bottom and directly above the Home key about 1/8 inch running top to bottom.
I've got a curve 8520 and earlier today it was playing up and so I decided to re-boot it by taking the battery out. It seemed normal and I'd left it for a while but when I came back to it, the re-boot hadn't gone past about 2/3 of the way. I've tried several different things, plugging it into the computer, and the wall, and also taken the battery out several more times and each time it still doesn't go past 2/3.
You know the sound the phone makes when you send an SMS? The little "boop" sound (haha). I like it because when I am texting from apps like tlert or biteSMS, it verifies that the text was sent. This is useful for me in areas where I have poor service as a verification. Why do I need this? Because I have often sent a text, then gone back hours later to see that it never sent. This is due to a combination of poor service in certain areas and the fact that I usually keep the ringer switch set to vibrate.
I searched a long time trying to find something that would make my phone vibrate when the message was sent, but couldn't find anything, so I went into the files and figured it myself. I did this all in iFile, because it was way easier then through SSH - but you can do either one.
1.) open iFile/SSH into your phone.
2.) Go to System>Library>PrivateFrameworks>Celestial.Framework and open the file "SystemSoundBehaviors.plist"
3.)* Scroll down to: <key>SMSSent</key> <dict> <key>RingVibrateIgnore,SilentVibrateIgnore,RingerSwitchOff</key> <array/> <key>RingVibrateIgnore,SilentVibrateIgnore,RingerSwitchOn</key> <array> <string>Beep</string> </array> </dict>
You will want to change this to: <key>SMSSent</key> <dict> <key>RingVibrateIgnore,SilentVibrateIgnore,RingerSwitchOff</key> <array> <string>Vibrate</string> </array> <key>RingVibrateIgnore,SilentVibrateIgnore,RingerSwitchOn</key> <array> <string>Beep</string> </array> </dict>
4.) Save the file, and reboot your phone.
5.) It may not work right away; it actually took a day or two to take affect on my phone, but is working now. It a nice verification system.
* There are all other sorts of sound behaviors that you look at it in there, such as when you flip the ringer switch (whether it vibrates or not).There are multiple settings for each action. Look at the keys: Ring or Vibrate? Or ignore? Silent or Vibrate? Or ignore. Is the ringer switch on or off? Or ignore?
i have a new torch 9800 and the keyboard does not light up, even in dark areas. i have tried the battery on and off but nothing. is there a setting for this.
My XOOM returned from 4G upgrade refusing to search for WiFi once it has been allowed to connect 4G. I have experimented with many ways to improve this including changing from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only (just to test 3G connections), disabling the 'data enabled' setting, disabling WiFi too, then turning on WiFi both before and after blanking the screen, and trying all 3 options of when to change from 4G to WiFi (after screen blank, etc.). The only fix is a complete shutdown and cold boot for it to wake up and search for WiFi. The WiFi in question are the same I used before the 4G upgrade and nothing has changed but the XOOM hardware and presumably software. If it is restricted to WiFi only and I move from home to office to a public WiFi, it will happily switch back and forth UNTIL I coax it into a 4G connection. Then, it takes a cold reboot.
I have a 6 week old Curve 9320, I have recently started having problems scrolling through chats on BBM. Everything else is fine but I can't scroll up or down to earlier messages in a chat.Also I sent a message to all of my contacts but it doesn't say I'm in a chat with every contact.
my blackberry droped in the toilet i quickly remove my battery and sim card then put them back everything is fine but my scroll button is not working i can push but i can scroll to the left right top and bottom. itried to dry it (i put it outside on the sun but it still not working
I've had my phone nearly a year and constantly the trackpad keeps Freezing I have tried cleaning it,left battery and sim card out I've tried loads of things. Recently it has froze since Tuesday. I am getting very annoyed. It clicks but does not scroll and gas worked like s tiny bit like scrolling down 1 space.
A few weeks ago I was on my phone and it was dying, I went to get the charger but it had already died. I plugged it in and turned it on but the scroller wouldn't move. It would click but no matter what I tried it wouldn't move. I looked it up and it said it needed to be wiped, so stupidly I wiped my phone. But still, nothing. It would just click. Now, it's stuck on terms and conditions and non-usable. I've had to use my old blackberry which is falling apart I tried looking again online to see if there was any other solutions and I came across one saying that the software needed to be update.
I have a 8900 and it does not charge past 2 bars it shows it chargin but doesn't move past 2 bars I wiped hanheld deleted all apps and a tmobile rep had send me a "updated" O.S through email to reinstall which was the same sh*t I had by the way 4.6.1.231 and I did it and still won't charge past 2 bars anyone have this problem I was told it was a phone issue and not battery but I don't want to buy another battyer till I get a reasonable answer what you guys think anyone have this happen?
I enabled a password on my blackberry 8530 (boost mobile) and after a few minutes it turned off and restarted itself. It loads the bar all the way but then starts over. I have tried a battery pull, and plugged it into my computer both with and without the battery but the DM wont recognize the device. What (if anything) can I do???
I have a blackberry curve 9630, and my scroll thing does not work. I've tried updating my blackberry but now my phone is stuck to "THIS HANDHELD INCLUDES SOFTWARE..." page and now I can't use my phone at all..
