Happened a good three or 4 times on a call yesterday. I was talking on the phone and made sure I locked the screen and then ever couple minutes the screen would switch back n forth between that and speaker and nope it wasn't my face hitting the button on the screen.
View 5 RepliesFirst I couldn't find a post that had an answer for this question, so sorry if I am repeating this question.
So when I lock my phone, the screen SHOULD lock too, but it still clicks when I touch it which is bad because I have actually called people while it is in my pocket hitting my leg. Is there a reason for the screen not locking?
Just the other day, I had to use my phone while it was charging (wall charger).The phone kept kicking into speaker mode everytime it went from portrait to landscape mode and back to normal when in portrait mode Is this a bug or by design and why the eff would this be by design?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a storm2 that was replaced a few times and the current one is the those newer issued ones with the improved touch screen. I've had it for about 2 months and my accelerometer doesn't work anymore it seems like it blew out. My phone won't rotate and if it does it stays locked and I have to open an app that only works in portrait mode. Does anyone else have this issue? What do I do?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI miss the owner information on a Storm2 when the device is locked.Having upgraded from a Storm to a Storm2 using the DM Device Switch Wizard, there is no owner information showing.
The owner information and the blue screen shows quickly up when the device is booted but not when it is locked. Does anybody know how to get the owner info back showing up on a locked screen or has an idea for a workaround?
When I'm on the phone many times the speaker phone comes on without me selecting the option.Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a fix?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOk So i'm going to try and explain this and see if you guys can help me. When i'm on a phone call it automatically brings up the dial pad instead of going to the standard options like speaker phone and mute and all that. i often switch to speaker phone when on a phone call and i have to click twice when i could just click speaker phone.its just annoying i was wondering if there is a way to switch it to default to the speaker phone screen?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had my Storm 1 since it came out originally, and it looks like it survived a road-side bomb in Iraq; cracked screen and all.A friend of mine got a free replacement Storm 2 which he gave me over the weekend. The phone is mint, I'm just waiting for my Verizon store to get me the battery cover so I can use the phone in everyday use.
My question is this....I saved all the device memory from my ST1 to my DM, and I'm going to transfer it to the ST2...what else do I need to know to switch it over seemlessly; SIM card etc., because the ST1 was my first Blackberry, so I'm not exactly knowledgeable about switching between devices.
I just got my new Moto Droid in and am making that switch today! It was nice working with all the blackberry members! I will be on the website still, however just in the andriod section. The Storm 2 wasn't much of a big thrill over the storm 1 imho. It was nice not having to pull the batt every 8 hours tho!
View 12 Replies View Relatedfor some reason, when ever i do a battery pull and when my storm starts back up, the screen clicks so easy, but as time goes on (min or so) it gets stiffer and you have to use more pressure.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have scrolled through the forums reading about both these phones and i have a few questions
1.What i am still unsure of is which phone is better suited to Canadian phone companies neither will get 3g coverage but will one work better than the other like will they both get 2.5g coverage?
2. Also i have read that possibly the 9520 will be comin to rogers but i havnt heard anything recent on it does anyone have news on a release date or anything?
3. Right now i am thinkin of buyin the storm 9550 from telus and either goin with fido or terminate my contract with them and stay with telus or move to rogers. Is there a company that is better suited to the storm 2 or will either giv me 2.5g?
I have got a blackberry storm2 .The problem i have is the phone powers up ,red led flashes and the bottom 4 symbols light up.But the screen does not light up.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently went to Verizon and had my storm2 replaced due to a crackle and distortion in the handset speaker. The new phone just yesterday developed the same problem.I am wondering if it is the result of getting debris into the speaker, and I would like to know if there is a way to clean it if so, as it is a pain in the *** to deal with the replacement thing.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI got my refurb in the mail today and the left side of the screen sounds like someone spilled soda under the screen and it dried. So when I type, especially with typing in landscape it clicks and makes this weird sound like there is something sticky under the screen. Anyone else had this issue? I called Verizon and they are sending me another phone overnight...but still...
View 12 Replies View RelatedI just got a replacement Storm 2 dated Mar 6, 2010. My old Storm worked pretty well but sometimes the bottom row buttons would stick, especially when using the Seidio extended battery with the plastic battery cover. I have a week or so to try both out before sending back the old one.
The new screen feels more... buttery. Its smooth. Buttery smooth. The old screen is clickier. The bottom row buttons on the new screen are a little sloppy compared to when you press the middle of the screen. Does anyone else notice this? I don't like that.But so far the new screen hasn't locked up on the bottom row as much, especially when trying to use it while the Storm is lying on a table.
For typing, the old screen seems just a bit faster, maybe just a bit less pressure required. New screen is a bit harder to type on but smoother.The old screen has a warmer white color than the old, but that is OK the old was fairly "blue".I don't know for sure yet which I like better! But will update here as I find more. If new screen prevents "hard button" syndrome than that's probably enough.
I was wondering do vodaphone 9520's need the screen update like the Verizon version.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOkay, got some dust under the screen. Not really noticeable except for one spec that catches my eye every time I look at the screen. Really annoying. I don't have insurance. Is there anything RIM or Verizon will do for me?
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy phone fell out of my coat pocket and landed on my garage floor and shattered pretty good. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a replacement screen? The LCD is not damaged at all, and if I were to have Verizon replace the screen it would be about $120.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI know there are a lot of these threads, you don't have to tell me.But i've read some and didn't find what I was looking for, exactly.I am selling my Storm 2 9550, and want to make sure all my information is out of it. But I don't want to make it incapable of using for the buyer. So how do I wipe or just clean out of phone of my info, and still have it working for him? Should I just do a wipe, and then reinstall the OS? Or will he be able to reinstall the OS when he puts it and installs the BlackBerry desktop software? How does it come when you buy it from Verizon?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have insalled a lot of OS's on my old storm one but for the life of me I can't get the storm 2 to take 436. It acts like it is but when I go to options it still shows 320 installed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe fist time I didn't get a green dot a good date or a good number as far as I could tell. This time I got the green dot, but the dates are all in 2009. I have been looking for the 3 digit number in the red circle. Can you please tell me were to find these. I a have been up for 20 hours and I have steam coming out my ears at Verizon. I am not going to bother transerfering if it isn't the new phone. They are both refurbished.
View 12 Replies View RelatedEver since I installed .713 OS my storm 2 keeps locking up for ten or fifteen seconds at a time.The little clock is in the middle of the screen and spinning. This happens so much it is getting disgusting and annoying. Has anyone else ran into this and what did you do to fix? I did a search but found nothing on this.

View 14 Replies View RelatedIts been 4 months now that I have taken my screen protector off. Always had one because I was scared of scratches.
My phones in my pocket all the time with keys and change, Not one scratch, plus the screen is more responsive without one.
Not saying if I drop it something would'nt happen but theres really no need for a screen protector.
My BB browser home page currently defaults to a T-Mobile web'n'walk page. no matter what I set in the options, it is overridden when the page loads. I don't actually use it as my browser, but I do have a couple of launchers that require the default browser and when launched, they also end up being overridden and defaulting to this annoying home page, making any launchers completely useless.
Does anyone know of a way to further dim the clock when the BB is in bedside mode? I keep my screen brightness at 60%. When my BB is in its charging cradle and in bedside mode at night (set to auto dim) it is still too bright (according to my wife). I'd really like to be able to dim the screen so it is barely visible - perhaps 10% brightness - while in bedside mode.
