when I flip up my phone, the screen goes black. If I'm making a call and I flip it up, it disconnects. When the phone is down I can do everything, text, call, just like normal. But when I flip the phone up the screen is black and I can't do anything. Does anyone know why/how to fix this?
My wife's storm 2 recently started acting very strange. The storm 2 is running .428. About 5 days ago, she told me that she was deleting e-mails, and it just spontaneously flipping screens, going from e-mail, to phone, to voice dailing, to camera, and also to some some other menu's (that she had never seen before), to other screens, going so fast that the phone wasn't working for her. She She didn't trust it to even use the phone to call me, or even answer it if I called her.
That day, when i got home, I went to hook it up to my pc to back the data from her phone, and I saw a white error page (of some sort, I couldn't read what it said), then it rebooted. After the reboot, I was able to backup the data, and the phone seemed to work right then.Then tonight, as I'm coming home, she told me it had started acting funny again. This time, she was typing up a text message, when the phone started double typing (i.e., she would press a letter/number and she would here 2 clicks, and 2 characters would appear on the screen, so she had to spend alot of time removing the extra characters. Then all of a sudden, it started flipping screens, going into phone mode, going back to home screen. Then the a menu would pop up, with one of the items highlighted, but she couldn't change the option it had highlighted. She had to do multiple battery pulls, to finally get it to work.
Is there a way to keep the contact icons on the home page from flipping. I would really like to to have either the photo or the name show without the animation.
My iPhone 3Gs is constantly flipping between "searching" and "no service". I had the SIM card replaced at AT&T today, but that hasn't helped. I've done multiple forced restarts. Any other ideas? I don't want to replace my trusty 3Gs yet...
I recently purchased a Blackberry Sync Pod and for some reason the phone will not charge while on the dock. The phone wil enter bedside mode and i get a message stating that the phone will not charge. I am able to charge the phone without the dock using the exact same cable. The retailer isnt willing to assist in this matter as they say it is something I need to take up with the manufacture.whats wrong or how to make the phone charge?
i had a torch 9810 previously and it was stolen so i bought a new torch 2 but this time it was having some american company's symbol on it. I upgraded it to the next firmware and downloaded blackberry protect but the problem is my phone isn't being displayed on the blackberry protect website even after 10 backups.
I wanted to transfer my contacts, ringtones, pictures, and memo pad info from my storm 2 to the 9800. I didn't want to use the DM "Switch Devices" utility because I don't want everything copied over including the settings.The pictures and contacts were easy as I just switched SD cards.Ringtones and pictures I transferred over by plugging in the phones up and used Windows to simply drag the files over.My problem is the memo pad info. How do I get that to my 9800?
I now have a second blackberry and want to get a blackberry id for it. I already have one for my first phone. I tried to register but it won't allow it as I tried to enter the same email address that I use from when I registered my first phone. Can't you use the same email address as user name for both as long as each has a unique password?
My menu button loads my 'phone' and not the menu for the phone. I cannot access the menu that includes: hide, move, open tray etc. I cleaned up the phone and uploaded the newest software via the BB desktop application software. I ended up cleaning it up so well it seemed to go back to factory settings as I lost all my apps. It seemed to solve the problem though and I got my menu button to work properly again. I have since uploaded App World and a new theme. The button still worked properly for 24 hours. Today, I turn it on and all is working well but the menu button loads my phone again. Do you understand that the menu does not load, but rather the 'phone' menu pops up as though I'd pressed the phone icon. I wonder if the 'flex ribbon cable' underneath the buttons is misaligned somehow and when I press the menu key, it is loading the green telephone key menu because of malfunction of the ribbon.
About once a week, my Blackberry Torch turns itself off and the only way to turn it back on is to take out the battery and put it back in again to reboot. Is this a problem that anyone is having and how is it rectified?
I have a new Torch 9810 and am not able to confirm my BB ID. I am able to access my BB ID from my laptop but when trying to access BB ID from the phone it says "unable to login to your Blackberry ID account"
Why does my data usage continue to rise even though my phone is not being used. I shut everything down and got rid of all downloads and email connections? Can my usage be stolen?
I have a blackberry torch 9800. From yesterday morning phone's ringer is not working .. I tried to reset factory settings, clear log and switched of phone for 5 minuets by taking of battery out of the phone but nothing happened. The same problem hit the phone around 2 months before, that time I reset phone and its starts working. But this time its like big bang, I can not hear the ringtone of phone , I can't hear music on it ...
I have previously used a 16Gb micro SD card, but it crashed. I then bought a 32Gb card and it was working fine for a few weeks, but now that too has crashed. I have tried to re-format both in my phone but it keeps failing and now I have lost my phone ringing normally. I had no problems regarding losing my phone ringing before.
i was downloading a free app, not sure if it was successful, as my phone has switched off and i cannot get it to work again, have removed battery, to see if that works, but hasn't?
My Torch will not charge/ I had it plugged into the wall all night and it just keeps flashing a green light. Then I tried plugging it into the computer an it said it couldn't take a charge from that device.
Ever since I got my Torch, I've found I can't charge my phone as I'm talking to someone on it. What I have to do is hang up with whoever I'm talking to, pull the battery out, wait for it to reboot, plug it in, then call that person back. And if, when I plug it in after it reboots, it still won't charge, I have to do a battery pull all over again. And even when I do all that and manage to get it charging, it still stops charging after ten minutes of me on the phone so I end up having to cut the phone call short, which leaves the person on the other line less than impressed. I invested in a Blackberry because I assumed things like this wouldn't happen.
P.S. I've only had my Torch for six months, and I've done all the tricks (ie turning off the wi-fi) to make the battery last longer, yet over the past couple of weeks it needs to be charged everyday or it will die.
i had need to remove my battery and sim, to reaccess the phone its asking for my username and password. i KNOW beyond any doubt that what i am entering is correct. it says that they are not valid. when clicking the "forgotten password" link, it says to ensure that blackberry id has been activated and that i have entered the correct email. I HAVE ENTERED THE CORRECT EMAIL.
I have 2 BB Torch 9810, Both have different IDs, but if I try to use the same e-mail, one of my phones will erase the others' e-mails, and vice-versa. How can I get two different BB IDs' for my phones and still use the same e-mails on both? Cause I need to access my e-mails in both phones.
I would like to check why does my BB blackout during phone calls. I had this handphone cover over the receiver or if i cover the 'Blackberry' word on top it will black out during the call. May I know why and does this happen to all the other users as well?
just got my new Blackberry Torch 9800.Don't know how i managed to do this but i just have my wife as a contact, when i try to phone my wife, i go to contacts my wifes number comes up, but when i try to ring her, the phone says Disconnected.
I am getting a new torch in the next few days due to it freezing and having to take the battery out to reset it i might be being stupid here but how do you copy your whole contacts list from your fone to the sim
How do you Enter characters such # while on a phone call if your phone pad is disabled? How do you ENable the phone pad or enter non-numeric characters?
