BB Curve :: The Rubber Buttons Started To Fade Off?
Aug 29, 2010
I own a two Blackberry 8520. Almost 1.25 year i bought it. Both mobile has crossed 1year warranty. In Both set the rubber buttons started to fade off... The volume, Voice dialing button is faded off completely with the Cam button on the sides.When I called Redington India Ltd Jaipur & Delhi they told the rubber panel has to be replaced completely and they need to send the phone to Banglore ( Min 10 days of time) and it would cost WOOPING 2500Rs just to replace the rubber coat on the phone! What I would like to know is
1. Why 10 days of service time?
2. If I sell my phone I wouldn't even get 2500Rs now and the repair costs WOOPING 2500rs just to replace the rubber panel on the phone. Is it the right cost given to me?
3. Can the service be done within few hours or 1 or 2 days?( Since its just replacing the rubber panel)
4. Why is the quality of Blackberry 8520 not up to BlackBerry standards? The buttons just fade off what ever is done! Sir. Spending 2500rs for one mobie is very expensive just for the rubber panel.
5. The total cost for both mobile is around Rs 5,000. It is very expensive because in both sets body (front & Back) is OK but rubber panel was fade off.
6. Having such a reputed company the quality of buttons is so poor. Is this a manufacturing Defect?
the problem started with the 8520 stop working... it will load then started to fade to white screen after using the app loader to restore the os the problem got worse... now even the app loader wont detect the blackberry it will detect for a second after batt removal then the app loader wont detect it anymore
A few days ago my phone just suddenly started pressing buttons on its own and ignoring my button presses. Turning off the screen and turning it back on again fixes it temporarily, but within just a few seconds it will often continue again.
Is this a virus? Or is my phone broken? Nothing happened to cause it to break.
My BB 8520's (IMEI 358472.03.890910.6) rubber lining is of poor quality. Hence the volume button and shortcut buttons on the side have peeled off and other parts of the lining are also tearing off. This is a manufacturing defect. I have checked on google and have seen that there are lot of people complaining of the same problem.
I have the curve 8520 and it keeps fading to a white screen while I'm doing pretty much anything on the phone. It has done it after I check voicemail, on BBM, fb, email...etc.etc. After it fades to white, it will freeze like that until i take the battery out or plug it in...sometimes it will just turn itself off and stay on black screen... do i need to get a new battery?
My phone is in warranty and mute button rubber is peeling of from blackberry curve 8520 Let me know can i replace it from service centre as it is in warranty if not then is rubber cover available outside?
The rubber bumper that goes around the edge of my iphone4 is splitting. This is the bumper apple gave me in leu of replacing my phone due to antenna problems.
I have a HS -500 blue tooth on which I lost the rubber ear piece and broke the plastic ear loop holder. I have gone to several cell phone stores, contacted blackberry directly and have gone on web sites. i cannot find anyone who sell these spare parts. I can't believe that an 80$ blue tooth has been rendered useless because of this.
No Browser is running and I dont have any apps. I was on the phone for 15 min and my battery was half dead when I got off. Was never like that before. I've had this phone for almost 2 years. The same thing is happening with the rest of my families Blackberrys. Why is this?
I could not find a rubber cover/case. I bought the plastic hard rubber item that is fake paint that looks like rubber and scrapes off real easy. The plastic underneath is white so it looks like crap after a few weeks.
I lost the little eloastomeric (EPDM, BUNA?) cover for the micro USB port. SE support says replacements are unavailable. I'm sure there were millions of the components molded at the OEM manufacturer. Anyone know where to get Sony Ericsson parts?
it has rebooted itself literally 2times in 5mins.. i was on the speaker phone, and in the middle of the conversation it goes black and the red flash goes on and it reboots, then i walk away for 2mins, and its back at the same blackscreen with the red light on, idk why its doing it.its happened when i use Internet, or the internet, and the facebook app.
my blackberry 8520 has been freezing up on me for the past three weeks and i dont know what to do it usually starts back working but not today i am getting messages and calls and i cant view them do i need to flash my phone or throw it away
I recently received my E72 and love it! Just a question regarding the display of words in certain screens. Depending on the actual screen displayed , the text seems to fade - which is quite weird. On screens where the icons are displayed and other screens all seems fine. Switching off and rebooting doesn't help - it remains there. Is this normal or is the handset faulty?
My wife's BB has suddenly (last 3 days) started discharging the battery at a silly rate full to flat within 3 hours without use. The only activity seems to be a small clock appearing in the centre of the screen intermittently which she says she hasn't noticed before. This also comes on when writing mails prior to the typed in letter appearing on the screen It has the latest soft and firmware.
I've had my blackberry for almost 2 years now and my bbm and internet suddenly started not working 2 nights ago, ive tried resteting my phone and it still doesnt work, when I try to send a message or someone tries to send me one, it just comes up with a cross and I can't connect to the internet.
I have the BB Curve 8520 and until recently I wasn't using my BBM and I never had any issues with the phone.However ever since I started using BBM a few weeks ago, I haven't been able to load a single page on my internet browser.Is anyone facing the same issue? If so how did you fix it?
I got my curve 9900 about a month and a half ago and I haven't dropped or damaged it in any way but the battery has stated to drain itself in a few hours when fully charged (this has been happening for the past week) and phone lags and freezes on the loading clock sign. Also, when I turn it off at night and try to turn it on in the morning it's battery is dead and I have to charge it again.
I noticed the screen started flickering on my blackberry 8520.Then all of a sudden it went off and I can't switch it back on again. I've tried taking the battery out and putting it back in again and that didn't work.
I have a BlackBerry 8520 . A few days ago the battery held almost 2 days . everything was ok. now, I don't use my phone for 5 or 6 hours and my battery is dead.
For the past few days, old messages from hotmail have started popping up on my blackberry, some over a year old. They do not reappear in my hotmail account, only on my blackberry.
for past few days bb curve started showing gsm insted edge . i checked with other mobiles they are working fine.i switched off and restaterd it .but no use . i wiped all the settings also but it is not changing.
it started that the battery life was at about 6 hours, then it started to freeze and become very slow now its the fact that you can almost see the battery drain down and it only lasts 2 to 4 hours and both the screen and battery gethot.I have read lots of posts and done every thing they say to do and nothing works todate i have done the followingReplaced the battery with a new onechecked the cpu to see if anything was running in the back ground (nothing running)closed downed all apps so none are runningdown loaded and installed lastest softwareuninstall lastest software and then reinstalle
On your Z5's when you let the screen turn off automatically due to timeout, what is your animation? Does it dim out and turn off instantly or does it have a fade out effect?
Mine dims and turns off without a fade out effect which I swear was there before? I don't know.
Im wondering if theres anything to disable this...or its just me...i turned off the theme effects already. I just dont like it, i feel like it slows down the fone...im wondering if there could be any future updates on the nokia X6 since the last one was v40? Nokia need to remove this menu fade effect!
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
My blackberry started booting and it never completes this process. I have waited and the bar never passes letter "e" in blackberry. I have waited a lot of time and also tried taking out the battery and rebooting it again. What can I do? Is there a way to reset my phone manually?
This had been bugging me for 3 days now. I don't have another phone to use. I've tried to repair the software using Update Service but it do no good. After pressing the On button at the top of the phone, the phone will vibrate after a sec and then there's a backlight but the "Sony Ericson" logo does not appear and after about 6 seconds the backlight will fade.
