firstly the camera shutter cannot open to take photo and now can open but the screen is black, what and how should i do to take photo, I did try to search methods to try but it did not workout on my iphone.
I'm having problem with my storm phone ever since it was dropped in water. I left it to dry for a week. Since then I replaced my battery and the phone came on with the clock and then the screen showed up. and could not do anything. Then the screen went black. Now when I try to recharge it only a green light appears and nothing else. Did I kill my battery and is the phone no longer good or it's just my screen and i can replace it.
I have had my Blackberry Torch now for about 10months and last week i think i may have got it slightly wet after i tried to answer the phone when getting out of the bath. Since then it has been ok but last night when i slid open the screen everything went black. As soon as i slide the screen shut it works again! This basically means that i can only use the phone as a touch screen phone when it is down (which isn't good for me as I always text using the keypad when it is slided open).I called o2 and they said before they send it off to be repaired that i should try upgrading all of the latest BB software as that might fix it. I have never had any upgrades but will this really be able to fix my screen? Is there any other way i can try and fix the phone myself?
I have a Storm 9530 (Verizon), My screen went black today, I can't see anything to do anything. I tried to do a backup to my PC but it kept disconnecting, then connecting. So then I tried to update it, and it did the same thing, the update got part of the way through and stopped because it was waiting for me to "initiaize device", so I just started tapping the screen hoping something would happen (can't see anyhting rememeber) nothing did! I have taken the battery out too many times to count today, trying to figure this out. I even took it out and left it out for over an hour. Any ideas on how I can get my phone back?
this device(storm2)screen remains blank/black when powered on. Both status and backlight lights up but not the screen. Are there any easy fixes for this problem?
So I am totally new to the smart phone idea and I have a problem. My blackberry will just randomly turn itself off, and I can't turn it back on. The screen just fades to black and then nothing, until a few hours later...what in the heck?
I Have just bought a replacement screen an digitizer for my blackberry storm as my screen has cracked. I took apart the storm connected up the screen an then screwed it back up. When I now turn the Blackberry on the back light turns on but the screen remains black. I tried the screen in another blackberry storm an the same thing happens. Is this an issue with the new screen or something else?
A few weeks ago I bought my first Blackberry - Storm 9500, Grade A on ebay.Last week on holiday I left it in the glove box of the car for a couple of days and the touch screen stopped working. I could scroll and highlight but nothing would open.
Returning from my holiday I looked online and realised there was a reset button behind the battery cover.I pressed this last night and the phone worked perfectly again.
However this morning the phone was back to the same issue and now pressing that button does nothing.This is a full description of the issues;Green button works. Red button works, Return button works. Mebu button works. Handset lock button works.Camera button does not function.Volume up and down buttons do not function.Touch screen will scroll on menu and highlights apps, but upon clicking nothing opens.
So although I can press the gree button to answer a call - I can't make a call because I can't select a contact or numbers to dial.
I have bought a USB lead to see if the phone needs an update or to see if I can reset it but i've never connected a phone to my PC before so I'll have to look at it in the morning with the manual.I have personal data on the phone which I must remove if I end up sending it back - I expected to be able to use all the functions of the phone via my PC.
I'm new to Blackberry and have the 9800. When I receive a new message (sms or mms) from a specific contact, the message shows in my text message folder (along with others I've received and am able to open and see), but when I open it to read the full message, it just shows the grey screen and all previous messages also doesn't show.I've deleted the entire conversation and would be able to read 1 or 2 new messages afterwards and then at some point when I receive or send a new message, everything will dissappear again.I've removed the battery, marked all as unopened, changed options settings such as combine sequintial, autoscale images, leave messages on sim, etc. but nothing works.
seems a bit lame compared to other questions! But, how do I set it so that when I recieve a text, it beeps every two minutes or so instead of just once? I can't find it anywhere! Also, when a text does come, the actual message quickly scrolls across the black bar at the top of the home screen..can I remove this? I would normally have the screen locked anyway but if i'd just used it and left it on the table for instance.
In the upper right corner of my screen, when I'm typing a message (email, text, BBM) there is a black icon that contains the letters 'EN'. This appears over the 'send' (envelope) icon. What does it mean?
I am helping out a friend who has a Nokia 6280. She claimed that it's infected by a virus because her problems started after using a Bluetooth headset. I don't quite believe this as I've heard it's more likely to be struck by lightning than to have this phone infected with a virus. Anyhow, the problem is the following: When you power on the phone, you get the Nokia handshake, then the phone loads. However, as soon as the phone loads, a bunch of black lines appear to streak across the screen rendering it black. That's not a huge issue because it goes away after a few seconds. Now I've read this could be an issue related to the ribbon that connects to the screen, but the screen turning black does not occur in any other instance other than right after when the main screen appears. I can play with the slider all day and nothing will happen, but like clockwork the problem appears after the phone loads.What gives? The phone works fine otherwise, so what could the problem be? If you need any more information I will be happy to provide. I've uploaded a video of this issue here (using my 5800 XpressMusic at night - the quality isn't that great sorry, but it does show the problem). Pardon the audio - my kids were watching Spongebob Squarepants so you might want to turn the audio all the way down! I guess my question is two-fold:
1) can this in fact be the result of a virus? 2) if this isn't due to a virus, what is it due to?
i,ve a problem with camera on iphone 4, it doesn,t work, it doesn-t open, i made update, i restart and i deleted photo after back up but the problem is always the same,i can't open camera, it's always black?

I own a storm 9500 phone. It works fine on os v4.7 but after upgrading to version 5.0 I find I am unable to open my SMS messages, I receive them, but I cat open them to view. Also if I try to compose SMS, after entering the number or contact, once I click OK , everything goes off, I don't get to the SMS editing screen.
I cannot open jpg xls ppt doc pdf files from attachments on my phone.It is very frustration that I bought the phone for the reason it was able to open most types of files.I even bought the premium edition of docs to go!I can't even save the attachments to a folder.
For several weeks now I have been unable to open the calandar app.All other apps are working. When touching the calendar app icon, the system does not respond. In order to select something else, I must first touch the "Hang Up Phone" icon on lower right of panel. Touching return does nothing at this point.
composing or reading sms in the OS 5.0 for Storm 9500. I have update to this new OS few days ago and since then I have this constant problem, cannot read the new sms, or compose new sms since everything gets back in the last thread. I have to delete each time the sms in order to read or sent new ones. I have wiped and reload the OS several time but the problem persists..
