I have forgotten my device in my pocket while swimming in Sea Water. Eventually , the device got water damaged , I've taken out the battery, used the hair drier and still didn't work. All My concern is how can I retrieve the data on my Device Memory. Most important the Media Files (Photos, Videos...etc),
View 2 RepliesMy friend dropped my handbag into the sea a week ago.My blackberry curve got wet but not soaked. Ive dried it out as best I can, but it still wont switch on.I havent backed it up in over 4 months! Im gutted that all my information may be gone for good..Is there anywhere I can send the phone to get it booted up for just long enough to retrieve my information? I dont mind paying for the service, as long as I get all my info back.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been traveling for 8 weeks and have hundreds of photos and videos on my s5 internal memory. Unfortunately I went swimming with my phone. I plan on buying another s5. Is there any way of transferring the internal memory module to a new phone and hoping that it's not also water damaged? I really want the photos from my trip. I am confident repairing phones.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy phone has been acting really strange recently (multiple apps shutting down, long app loading time, extremely bad battery life-- almost 20% decrease with 2 hour use) So I visited apple store today and they told me that all of the symptoms were due to water damage of my phone.
And water damage was least of my suspections. Okay so my phone has been near water, but never in it. I take my phone to the shower sometimes for music and that's the closest my phone got to water. The apple store showed me how the supposed to be white sticker inside the charging jack turned red and they told me that my warranty is now void.
They also told me that I need to pay $200 if I want a replacement and that there is nothing they can do when I told them that this phone has never been in water or suffered water related accidents.
I asked them if there was only one water damage indicator in a iphone. The person told me that there were four, two on the outside and two in the inside. He opened up my phone and told me that only one water damage indicator (external one) but they only need one indicator to turn red to void my warranty.
When I repeatedly told him that I never had my iphone near water he told me that it only takes one drop of water to trigger the indicator and that it could be anything like a raindrop. I think this is absurd.
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Is it possible for a phone to have water damage while the water damage indicator is inactive (white)
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy daughter has bought today a new Torch 9810. She has entered a new device password. After a few hours she tried to enter her password, but she forgot her password.
After a read of some internet groups, the solution is simple, just type 10 times your password and the BB will restart. I know that all data will be removed, but that is no issue.
Unfortunately the BB will not restart after I retype for then times the wrong password After the reset it starting with a White screen, with a sort of document icon. Within this document icon, appear a lock and cross sign, beneath this icon there is a counter with is repeatedly showing from 0 till 100% and then start over again.
I've tried to disconnect the battery for at least 1 minute, Put in a different sim card, let it run for almost one hour, but nothing seems to work.
I was told I would be able t bring pictures from my old device, but when I did the switch device on Desktop Manager, everything EXCEPT my pictures came over to the new device?

View 12 Replies View RelatedMy last phone was the pearl and it was slowly dying. A girlfriend of mine had a very new ish torch she no longer used. I have switched all the data and third party applications to the torch using the desktop manager however I can't get the app world or my e-mail working. When I log in to the App world via the computer it doesn't show the Torch as a possible device. It still has the pearl and the playbook. I need help as I believe that it thinks the torch is still the pearl and wont let me activate my e-mails or get the app world. Do I need to get rid of the Pearl on the desktop manager?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I change the BB ID associated with a particular device? I have recently been given a new BB Torch 9860 by my employers so I now have 2 BBs. However, during setup I associated the new phone with my BB ID that is still in use on the other phone but it doesn't look like I can run both devices with the same ID - so so how do I remove the ID from the new one?
I will be keeping both phones so I guess I will need seperate IDs for both?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently dropped my phone in water, and as a result it wouldn't work (obviously!). I took it to get fixed, and the entire back was replaced. This resulted in me getting a new bbm pin etc. I was told that this would work fine, and that I would still be able to use bbm and my wireless internet (such as bbm, twitter, facebook etc) When I called o2 to have my blackberry services reactivated, they told me that "the device cannot be recognized" Now I'm wondering what else I can do. Is there anything I or o2 can do to fix this problem? Or perhaps the shop that fixed my phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was so excited to have a Blackberry device and my choice was the Torch 9810 mainly for 3 reasons.
1- The big screen.
2- The touch screen with the sliding keyboard.
3- Latest OS.
As I watched and read so many reviews about it and compared it to the Bold 9900 and the Torch 9860. The reviews for the Torch 9860 were somehow negative, and the sliding keyboard was a win over the Torch 9860. Bold seemed to be a good phone but the bigger screen was again what made me go for the Torch 9810.
For a new Blackberry user like me, I couldn't really figure out much differences between the three phones.
Unfortunately the Torch 9810 is not yet here in Egyptian market and I was about to buy a Bold 9900 till I noticed it would be locked to my carrier and then I changed my mind. I asked a family member to buy the Torch 9810 for me from the UAE and I finally got it one week ago.
I updated my Blackbery Torch this morning, after it reset, I got 3 messages in my email.When you click on the messages is ask you "Add new device setting?" and when you click "yes", a new question pop up:The new settings are secured with a PIN that should have been provided to you. Please enter the PIN:
