BB Curve :: It Won't Start Up: Broke
May 13, 2012
Some background info:Carrier: Vodafone (holland)Model: Blackberry curve (I think 8520 but I am not 100% sure).OS version: unknown (I think maybe 5, but I am not sure sorry, since it won't start up I can't check. my phone is about 3 years old, I've tried to install updates but on the website it always sais that there is no new updates available whenever I try).
The problem:Since yesterday afternoon, my blackberry won't start up.When I plug it in, nothing happens. When it is plugged in and I hold the green button, a red light appears for about 20 seconds, this disappears and then after about 10 seconds a large picture of abattery with lightning appears (it is light blue and it is large, not in top of the screen but in screen center).After a a few seconds that one disappears as well.
Ive tried:
- another charger
- remove battery
- remove battery and replace after 5 minutes
- remove battery and replace after 5 minutes while phone was on charger
- left it on the charger the entire night.
I don't recall doing anything special before this happened, my phone worked. A couple of hours before I had plenty of battery.
I do think this happened before, but after starting it a couple of times (pressing some buttons at once, battery pull) it started again. Now it doesn't .
- What is most likely ging on
- How I can start my blackberry up again.

Desktop manager informed me that there was an update available, so I opted to go ahead with it.Version 5.0.0.411 installed successfully and all data was restored.
Phone does everything except receive incoming texts - voice, email are working fine. Vodafone suggested downgrading to the version 4, so I got 4.4.6.1.310 by following links from Vodafone's web site.Still no incoming texts, more time talking with Vodafone conclude it's a problem with the handset.Their third level support people say it's a return to base "for zapping".

Recently 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 ?

I position my iphone how I want it which is just in a natural positon infront of me and press the center G-Scope button. But during the game if I move back to my original position the crosshair is way off to the right and not center and the more I play the more off to the right it goes.

I have just updated to OS 7.0.0.540 (2290) and when it rebooted 98% of all my downloaded programs were gone. When I log into App World on my BB, it says that I have no programs under any of the areas (i.e. Installed, Uninstalled or Upgrades). I have downloaded all of the Free 'thank you' programs but none are there. I have done a battery pull 3 times, no luck though and even logged back into BB App World, but still no programs. Tried to install a program I did once have (15 mins ago) and it allowed me to, no error like it was already installed.

I installed Frash (Flash for iPhone) using the original deb, and then, again via Cydia. It worked pretty good for me and I like that it didnt load any flash unless you tapped on it, saving you from all the pop-ups and ads on some pages. I did find that very large pages would have a hard time keeping up with the combination of Frash and User Agent Faker (iPad/Mozilla settings) I was running and would sometimes cause Safari to crash to the Springboard.
That only happened 1-2 times a day so I would've kept it, but after a couple of days I realized it had broken my MMS. I could no longer send them and I was not receiving them either. I really don't know what one had to do with the other, but it was the only change I had made. Sure enough, when I uninstalled Frash, MMS worked again. While I actually did like having the option to load Flash in Safari, it was not enough for me to give up MMS. I couldn't find a fix so Frash had to go but I'm interested in hearing about other user's experiences and opinions.

I have recently upgraded my Xperia Pro to Android 4.0.4. Since then, I cannot connect to my home WiFi network. The phone cycles in Obtaining IP -> WPA2 -> Connected -> Obtaining IP..... Occasionally, the phone will connect but only after a few hours of cycling.
My wife's Xperia Pro is still using Android 2.3.4 and the WiFi connection works fine.
Two identical phones with different Android versions. It is likely that the upgrade to 4.0.4 is the root cause of the problem. This upgrade wasautomatically recommended by the phone.
I can temporarily work around this problem by changing the home AP security to open. But this is unacceptable. I read that many people have WiFi problems after upgrading to 4.0.4. Will you be posting a patch anytime soon?

my samsung galaxy s2 broke down on me a week ago. How this happened was that I saw the ota update being available for downloading so I proceeded to download the update. Now, when it got the update and it automatically started to install, The phones battery died (inthe middle of the installation). when i charged it up and turned it on an error message comes up after the samsung logo saying the package installer got an error and now wont let me use the phone at all ( it freezes up after the message). I tried restarting it but the same thing happened. the phone is now unusable. i visited a phone stor asking if they could repair it but no, they couldnt. what to do? send the phone in/swap it out?

Only the glass broke, the LCD is intact and fully functional. Any idea on how much apple would charge to fix? A few months I broke the back glass and they fixed it for $30. I know this fix requires more work, but has anyone had any real experience with this happening to them? I live in Atlanta if that means anything??

Phone fell out of my pocket on a roller coaster, it stayed in one piece and will turn on but with no screen activity. To back up my phone itunes tells me it requires me to input the password. I created the password via find my iphone. Is there a way to turn off the iphone password through icloud or a different method? I am in need of recovering what I have on this phone.

My Curve 8520 is freezing on start up. What happened was my facebook app froze after I tried to log out so I decided to re-boot the phone and now it freezes 3/4s into the start up. I have tried connecting with my desktop software, it is being recognised but not connecting fully so therefore I can't connect with any of the function ie restore. I have tried to do a safe re-boot but it still sticks at the same point.

Last night around 10:00pm ET I was using my3G and facetime while i was out. This morning, Cydia had a couple updates, one of them being Mobile Substrate. After updating Cydia, I can no longer get Facetime to work. It attempts to connect, but then call failed.I tried on 3G and WiFi, with no luck. ANyone else having this issue? I tried rebooting, disable and re-enable facetime, and reset network settings. UPDATE: In the Phone settings, it now says "Facetime ON. Activation Unsuccessful. Turn on facetime and try again and it repeats with attempting to activate.

My SE Aino's body has one nasty breakline. Because of this the front part of van de body, the body undeneath te screen can break off soon.
When i turned the phone in, the whole phone worked and only had that breakline. No other damage. It wil cost me €93,56 for changing the front! Well the phone has not been fallen or something. It is just the plastic that was weak.
