My black berry storm i just bought unlocked and got it hooked up to web from tmobile is running super slow!!!! Need help it goes eventually but takes forever.... Do i have to have the black berry data package or maybe change some settings...
View 5 RepliesMy Storm 1 has recently become so slow that when I receive a phone call, I just get the flashing LED, and the screen tried to turn on, but I just get a black screen with the little "loading" icon. I can't answer the call, I can't do anything. Once it finally catches up with itself, I've missed the call. I have normal applications installed on my phone (weather, call blocker, quickpull, and a few others), and I always check to make sure that none of them are running unless I am using them. I have to reset the phone at least 5 times a day to keep it running at a speed I can deal with, and even then it HATES receiving phone calls. Any idea how I can speed this thing up? I'm not opposed to doing a complete wipe at this point....
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy 9530 (4.7.0.148) has started running slow at times for no reason that I can find. Simple things like un-locking the screen, deleting an email, switching to the home screen, highlighting a folder, and of course opening an app, can take up to 15 seconds. This doesn't happen all the time but is frequent enough to be annoying.
I haven't installed any apps that I can trace it to and my memory level is about the same as it has always been. I only have the normal 5 apps running in the background along with Berryweather. I do frequent battery pulls too.
I have had this OS since it came out and it has worked well for me. I have the phone set up just the way I want it.
Any ideas what could be causing my BB to slow down for no apparent reason? I have searched the board for ideas but haven't found a similar issue. I think somewhere I saw someone mention that over time the phone could accumulate a lot of old "junk" on it and this could slow it down. Could this be my problem? Should I wipe it with JL Cmder and then re-install .148? Would I be that much better off upgrading to 5.0.0.328? I would prefer to stay with .148 so I don't lose some of my apps but I'll upgrade if I have to.
Since yesterday my storm has been running very slow, with the clocktimer staying on for some time.
Nothing has been installed recently, so i dont understand why this has started happening all of a sudden.
The battery drained within the day also, without it hardly being used!
I have now deleted photos, apps and some music, even though not much is stored, but i keep getting a message that the memory is low.
I have to keep pulling the battery as it often freezes on the clocktimer on a black screen or the background, and I have also removed the battery for 2 mins.
Is there anything else i can do?
I am running OS 5.0.0.451
So lately, I've been having trouble with my storm running very slow. It does the "loading" graphic, or the spinning clock, or whatever it's called ALL the time. I pop my battery all the time and it doesn't seem to help. And the Storm will do this even when I have barely anything open. For example, at the moment, if I press the menu key, the only programs I have are my browser, BBM, the home icon, message icon and phone icon. That's it. But every time I pick my phone up to do something, I get the loading thing. I tried clearing my browser cache, but that didn't help. I also deleted a bunch of saved y!m message logs and deleted some pics, but still no go. It never used to be this slow, I have Verizon Wireless, and I'm running on V4.7.0.148.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy browser and email stopped working about 3 days ago and I spent almost a whole day on the phone with support, no help. They had me do everything including delete all my service books and now there is nothing in the host routing table. They finally said, we cant help. My phone is stuck on lower case edge and I cant get data.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am building a client/server UDP application similar to the UDP demo that comes with the 9530 simulator: http://www.blackberry.com/go/udpsample. This sample works fine. However, in my application, the simulator sends a UDP message to the server and it is handled just fine, but when the server sends a message beck to the simulator, there is a problem. As far as I can see, the UDP datagram is transmitted by the server, but the simulator/client gets stuck on the "[UDPDatagramConnection].receive([Datagram])" command. It sits there on that command for about 10 seconds, and then must time out or something. It then responds with the correctly received message, and everything is fine. As far as I can see, no new information was received at the end of that 10-second delay, so I guess it's not the server's problem. So everything works fine, except for that 10-second delay. Of course, since the source code for this function is not provided by RIM, it's impossible to get the debugger in there to see what it's getting stuck on. Are there any known issues with UDP connections being slow to receive an incoming connection? Again, my setup is very similar to the one in the RIM-provided example.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI had a question about the 9500. Im currently using the 9530 from verizon and was thinking about selling it and getting a 9500 cuz i have t-mobile and im tired of the EDGE/edge problem.....I was just curious if any of you happen to know if the 9500 has the EDGE/edge problem that the 9530 has with T-Mobile.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wish there was an easy way for me to portray the amount of disdain I have for my Storm at this time, however, that won't do me any good!I'm just looking to get some insight to my problem and whether or not it can be resolved! It would be really unfortunate if I had to replace my lump of a phone as I am a college student that just moved away from home and am in the middle of my two-year contract.My phone is still in operating order minus the faulty touchscreen, it still receives messages, emails, and even phone calls. All the side buttons work, in short, the screen is just dead.I did not drop it nor spill any liquids on it and I've performed a plethora of battery pulls. I'm at a loss!Let me describe the events that occurred before (seemingly) death of my touchscreen. I was at a friends house preparing for a 9/11 5k race when I noticed my battery was running low so I left it in a safe place to quietly run out of steam because I had no need to carry a phone during a race. At this point it was still fully functional. After the race, I check my phone to see if it was out of power yet which it was. I get home later that night and charge it only to rudely surprised by an inoperable screen. I cleaned the screen and did a few battery pulls afterwards in hopes it was only a minor problem to no avail.
A little hardware information that may be of use:
Verizon Carrier
OS .328
I was also in a moderate car crash the day prior so perhaps that may have caused some problems? Externally, my phone is in mint condition. I suppose this just hasn't been my week!
According to bbleaks, it sounds as though there insinuating that an OS leak for Storm 9500/9530 will be coming within the next week or so. If its true then sweet! Can't wait!
i dont remember my secret pattern code, then i want to know how to unlock my blackberry storm 9530 or reset.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHas a Storm and it just shut off on. When I pull the battery, the red light comes on for a few seconds and the screen and buttons light up. Then, it starts over. 20 minutes later and it's still in that same cycle.
It's rocking Verizon's official 5.0 and she doesn't do anything to modify or hack it. I've never encountered this before.
I'm wondering if the OS became corrupt, but we're @ Red Lobster and there's nothing I can do now.
Somtimes when reading a text or using camera my Storm will re-boot and when it comes back up it will say the battery is dead. This happens after its been on the charger all night. The only way to fix it is to use quickpull. Which i have set to re-boot everyday at 5am.. Could my battery be going bad or what?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo my old, wine covered Storm is gone and I got a brand new replacement from Telus today. Hurray! I backed up the old phone and restored it backup on the new one, but all my third party apps are gone (Telus told me that they should transfer, but I was skeptical). Is there anyway to get these back without having to re-download them all? There's two or three that I actually paid for... it would suck to have to re-buy them!
I'm looking at BlackBerry Desktop Manager, and there's an option to import 3rd party apps from the old phone to the new one, but you need to have both phones at the same time I think. Not too handy!
For the past 4 or 5 days I am waking up to find my 4 E-Mail accounts wiped off my Storm. I add them again and by the nex day they are all gone again. I went to a Verzon Service center and they were at a loss as what to do. They suggested I go home and call a Verizon tech to walk me through a hard reset. I insisted on calling from the store which clearly irrritated the employees there. When I spoke to the tech at the 800 number she was incredulous that they wouldn't help me at the store. She asked to speak to the supervisor there. They had a short conversation and he hung up and said I need to do a hard reset but the store policy is not to do that.
So, I went home and calle dtech support again and did the hard reset and reset my 4 email accounts. This was last night. This morning 2 of my accounts were deleted from the phone and the other two, while there were non-functional. The E-Mail setup function was gone from my phone. I had to do a restore to get it back and reset my accounts again. I'm guessing my only recourse is to go back to a verizon store again and insist on yet another replacement? I'm really beginning to hate Verizon.
I'm having trouble with video playback on my Storm. I put movies on that I have used and have worked before, and now will not. When I play movie it gets the green loading alert in corner then starts to play the audio only with no video. I am on .419 shrunk, is it possible it removed something to play video. My recorded movie from camera do playback.

I turned it on a few days ago and got a white screen that had a JVM error 102. Called VZ tech support and they told me I had a corrupt file in the OS and asked me to unistall and reinstall. I have done this 5 times and still I have a white screen that has reset on it. Even doing a cold boot, nothing changes.

Basically, i have a custom built pc and windows 7. All usb ports have been tested with other devices. I tried the desktop manager 5.0 and 4.7 and that doesn't recognize my BB. Windows says that i have connected an unknown device.
I tried rebooting the device and pc and removing the battery from the device. All to no avail.
Someone please tell me where to find it, give me steps to get it working, or where to find a self extracting driver. Also I downloaded the RIM blackberry smartphone driver from the windows update site and it still says it didn't install correctly
