BB Torch :: It Still Won't Power On
Aug 11, 2012
I can't get my phone to power on. I've removed the battery, waited a few minutes, replaced the battery and it still won't power on. It was last on the charger so it should have a full charger

i bought a 9810 and this is what happens: i connect it to the charger, then the red led turns on, eventually it goes off and a little sand watch appears for like 5 seconds, disappears, and the process starts all over again.

I just upgrade my OS from 7.0 to 7.1. When I started uprgading, it says, it will take 2hours then I agreed by clik ok/yes. Then my phone suddenly off, upgrading in process. After 3hours, my phone still didn't switch on. I took off the battery and put it back but it still won't power on. What should I do.

Q) How can you power the phone down?
When the phone is off, it seems that a simple tap of the Red power button turns the phone on again. This seems like a design flaw. All other non BB devices that I know off require you to hold the power button for a couple of seconds to turn it back on.This prevents the phone from accidently being turned on.
Let me explain a use case. When you are flying you have to turn your phones off.So the normal procedure is to hold the red hang up key and the phone will power down. This is as expected.Assume you then put the BlackBerry device in the seat pocket in front of you.Midway through the flight you hit your knee against the seat pocket.The red power button it tapped during this process.The phone now powers on.You are about to land and your phone rings.The flight attendant and the passengers all give you unpleasant looks through no real fault of your own.This type of issue has occurred a few times.
I realize you can go in and manually turn off phone connections but this is an extra step.Turning the phone off should take care of this and there should stay off until the user wants to turn it on.
I see this behaviour on my 8310 and 8900 and 9800.I hope there is something simple I'm missing??

This is a software issue, for sure. I've removed battery, sim, memory, still no power up. New battery in shop fully charged put in, still no power up. Phone call to O2 will replace in the morning.ooking at the boards, theres a common issue out there. Software, not hardware.So I tried following a Blackberry 7 upgrade offered by the Desktop manager, which incidently recognised I had a 9860 - so something is talking! - Unable to reconnect to the device during a multi-stage load operation. is the only result I get as I've followed the Device Software update , Bundle 1645 is being offered but it fails the install .At the start it downloads 497 modules, then startsErasing applications(!!). But fails on the next stage.I also read that connecting the 9860 and pressing ctrl + alt + del would active the phone, all it did (even that was surprising) was let me see a Battery sign on the screen. However interesting that was it soon disappeared.

I am quite unhappy with my blackberry 9810 and with Research In Motion at the moment. I noticed my phone would suddenly go off and restart. Only a few weeks later, it wouldn't restart by itself after suddenly going off. I had to restart it whenever i noticed it was off. But it got worse, it later would not respond at all after it had gone off and it would sometimes take a whole day to start. It was then I went to the ResearchInMotion site.
Nothing specific. Only links in the help forum to crackberry.com. I read the many stories I saw like "put your battery in your palms and rub it till it gets warm" and "use a short cable to connect your device to the laptop"... I have swithced batteries to be sure it was not a battery fault. I have re-installed the OS, upgraded to 7.0 and used the Loader.exe countless times. Those worked only like 3 times after days and days of labour, many missed calls, records and events in my planner. Often, it would work for one day and then go off for two. It has not worked for 2 days now and non of these troubleshooting work again; no red light indicator when i connect it directly to the laptop using a USB cable, nothing.

after the latest os update, system locked-up while starting a Internet video. used the power off app to restart the hung system. now the power off app no longer appears. is this app only restored with an os update or can it be restored separately?

I plugged my Torch 9850 into wall charger last night to charge. I woke up and the LED was slowly blinking red on and off. I pulled battery and that didn't reboot device. I plugged device into computer, and blackberry manager and computer recognize device when led is on but when led goes off it disconnects. It continues to go through this cycle of connecting and disconnect if connected to computer. Additionally, if I remove the battery the same process happens when connected to computer with no battery message on screen. Finally, with battery in but disconnected from power and computer the led still continues to blink but wont let me power on.

I have tried all the fixes on this forum and the two I found (AppLoader and Car charger) didn't work. how to hard reset the power management system for a Torch 9850. We just got this phone one month ago and this is our second phone with the same problem. Verizon has no clue and just replaces the phone. I can't believe that RIM would sell a device with this many hardware issues. There must be a way to force a reset of the power management system?

I'm traveling to London, England this upcoming week and purchased a Power Converter/ Adapter with a USB port. When I plugged the Blackberry into the USB, it said the charging device doesn't have enough power to charge the Blackberry. It says the USB output is 5VDC, 1 A max.How much power is required to charge the Blackberry and do you have any recommendations for power converters/adapters that are compatible with the Torch?

I've had my Torch now for many months (approx. 9) from Vodafone. Last week, all of a sudden and for no apparent reason, the Vodafone app (icon looks like a SIM card with Vodafone written underneath it) automatically opens when the phone is switched on. For example: I have auto on/off enabled, so when the phone autos on - the Vodafone app is launched; or if I switch off the device using the power on/off, when the device is switched back on the app loads.
I have called Vodafone about this - they passed me to Blackberry. I have been trying for 3 days to speak to someone at Blackberry - virtually impossible and when you do get through they immediately refer me back to Vodafone.

My blackberry torch 9810, switched off after having a low battery, i put it to charge, but the red light keeps (blink....blink blink blink) but it won't charge nor power up, i have tried connecting it to my pc the pc won't even detect it and the read light keeps blinking.Idid my research at crackberry.com and saw a software update would solve the issue, but i cannot update it using the desktop software because the pc won't recognize it. I tried removing the battery then connecting it to the pc but still its not recognized what could be wrong.

I'm afraid I know the answer to this issue, but is there a quick-fix (or has anyone had this before) to the lights underneath the bottom right panel buttons (the "Back" and "End Call/Power Off" buttons) not working?The lights underneat the bottom left side are still working, but barely.

My Blackberry Torch will not power on. It was working today with a slight delay and in attempt to speed it up I attempted to power off and was unable to do so. I then took that battery pack out but was unable to power back on at all. The battery is fully charged.

I have the Blackberry Torch 9800 and for the last while my battery will constantly randomly drop to almost dead. If I remove the battery it usually goes back up and sometimes it's okay for the rest of the day or for a few days, while some days it does it 2-3 times every hour to the point it basically needs to be left plugged in.

First off, I returned my Torch because of software problems that I couldn't wait to be fixed; namely the BT streaming glitch. That said, I have noticed some commentary regarding the Torch processor speed that I see as seriously ignorant and wanted to provide some insight.Processing power is not a function of clock speed. Processing power is a function of the elegance of the instruction set, the design of the processor's peripheral registers and buses, and the programmer's competence.What does this mean? A very simple processor will have lots and lots of instructions that you can use to build the machine code. Also, a simple processor will have registers to accept instructions and registers to respond linearly to what was input, with no peripheral registers. Think of a box with a chute where something comes in and a chute of identical size where something comes out. In contrast, an elegant processor design will have very few instructions, will have peripheral registers, and require a much more intelligent programmer to utilize.
For this type of processor imagine a box with a chute where something comes in, a chute where something comes out, and chutes all around the sides of the box where specific products automatically come out that can be used to make something without more coming into the "input" chute. FYI, the elegant processor has fewer instructions because it already performs automatically many of the functions that require an instruction and extra clock cycle on simple processors.
A processor works by taking the product that comes out, storing it, waiting for more product to come out, then combining products to come up with usable data. Obviously the faster you pump out products, the faster you make something usable. But what if the elegant processor has products coming out the side chutes automatically, without being told by the programmer, that can be used to keep from having to input and output info over and over to come up with the same end product? Well, it can work more slowly and accomplish more in less time, because the design is sophisticated and the programmer knows how to instruct it. Think of the products coming out of the side chutes on a good processor as products that come out the end on simple processors. The simple processor needs extra instructions, and consequently extra clock cycles of output going to the input over and over, to make specific products come out that the elegant processor simply places on the side chutes without being asked. For this reason, good processors usually have fewer instructions to use.
Let's go back to the year 1997. You had Intel Pentium, AMD Athlon and Duron, and Motorola processors, in general. Intel has always had many instructions, few peripheral registers, and fast clock speeds. Motorola always had a very simple instruction set, peripheral registers, and relatively slow clock speeds. AMD fit in between.What did everyone buy? Well, of course Intel because Intel was faster. But guess what? My AMD at 700 MHz smoked the crap out of an Intel at 1 GHz. Did the Intel fan boys care, or know what they were talking about? Of course not. We all know that old Macs with Motorolas killed PCs with Intel processors of identical speed and did not require ultra high processing speeds such as Intel.
Intels have historically been designed for newbs to utilize. They have (or at least had) an instruction set and overall design that requires an ignorant programmer to use clock cycles for every single calculation. The Motorola was designed for intelligent people to program however. The Motorola will yield usable data(on the side chutes) that can be used, or not used, for every clock cycle that can be combined with output to effectively stack data in one clock cycle that an Intel will need at least 2-3 cycles to produce by going from output to input over and over. Thus, the Intel has to be significantly faster than the competition to do the same work. I suspect that Intel, over the last 10-12 years, has caught up with the overall quality of its processors because the top speed is changing little while their productivity is rising quickly.

I've searched and am struggling to find much on these. What do they do, and how are they different?
According to HTC: Note: IfData connection is selected, HTC One automatically disconnects from the mobile network after 15 minutes when the screen is off and the data connection is idle (no download activity, streaming, or data usage). It reconnects and then disconnects periodically when the data connection is idle to save battery power.
Do these affect mobile data, Wifi, or both? Do they affect anything else?
I've left these off because I don't know how they work, and am getting fairly short battery life (10 to 15 hours, depending on use).

This morning I powered off my iPhone 4s waiting a few minutes before attempting to power back on. When I turned back on the apple logo appeared as usual, but then never fully loaded to the home screen. Ever since the phone continues attempting to start up. The screen with the clock keeps popping up and then flashes back off. Then starts the process over again. I have held the power/sleep button for 10-15sec until the apple logo appears but still won't fully turn on.
