BB Torch :: Premature And Unexplained Cut-offs/Battery Death
Dec 21, 2011
I've recently started having a problem with my device. It is was replaced in August, and is now acting strangely. First, it began to use the battery life quickly - despite charging fully, it will be depleted in a matter of a few hours (or after a 4 minute phone call). Now, it shuts off, and I originally thought it was because the battery was dead, but when I plug it into the charger and turn the phone on, the battery indicator shows that it still has significant life. I am not sure if it is the device or the battery, but I don't want to have to pay $40 for a new battery to find out I need a new phone.

2 months ago, my blackberry started transferring impressive amounts of data, which I discovered when I got a (delayed) alert from ATT. In one instance, per my ATT bill, the blackberry transferred 150 MB of data, in apparently 2 minutes in London, which feels like it is bending the laws of current cell technology. For a total monthly usage of over 450 MB until I shut down all roaming.
I have had a personal blackberry for 3 years (current one for 2). I have not changed my behavior or my applications and my usage is always a few MB per month (<20). So this recent spike is quite unusual. I travel overseas frequently and this spike was quite expensive. I have switched off roaming data, but that is now limiting my ability to read my emails (unless connected to wifi).
I have a blackberry 9900, 7.0 bundle 2392 (v7.0.0.576, Platform 5.0.0.733). I do not use facebook or watch videos or anything. Primary use is email (very limited and very few attachments) + consumer Bloomberg (occasionally) and some browser use. I play Sudoku everyday. I have taken the odd photograph, which is usually transferred during synch.

The past few days my phone (torch 9810) has started coming up with the old "battery too low for radio use" but when it has loads of battery! It's a tad frutrating as I know I have plenty of battery but it could still go at any time.

I dropped my blackberry and it hasn't worked since. It wont turn on but it will for a few minutes, then will randomly shut off and blink like 2 times in a row in perfect intervals. After it turns off... it will not come back on no matter what. I have tried a different charger and even bought a new battery to put in it... But nothing has changed. Its still the same red light! Is there anything I can do that I haven't tried, before taking it to a repair shop

I tried to search this on this and other websites. When I plug my LG Accolade ( aka VX5600 ) into my desk top computer (Dell , Windows XP ) using the LG supplied USB cable, my computer displays the dreaded " Blue Screen O' Death " and says something about needing a driver or some such. It is convenient for me to plug my cell into the USB for recharging while I work at my computer ( it also seems to charge faster ). My last phone, Samsung Gleam, was a pleasure to use in this fashion but it would not SYNC with my Ford Sync system. The Accolade does that quite nicely,but kills my PC.

I tried to do a reboot. I think I tried to start up too soon, and it has put my phone into a deathloop. The apple logo appears, with the little circle of "thinking" (it's frozen). Then it jumps to my password login, but won't respond to touch. I tried the "facebook locked my phone" discussion solution, but it won't work. I've tried a hard reboot, tried entering iTunes then turn off phone, attach connector to turn on, but iTunes won't do anything because the password needs to be entered, but I can't enter it because of the DeathLoop.

I have had my Sensation for about 6 months now. I am having significant problems with it. It is very slow and it continually resets to the white HTC screen screen and proceeds to reload. This happens when simply trying to touch the "home" key or the back key.
I cannot resolve the problem. I have removed all apps.

I discovered that my blackberry got a white screen, I researched it and thought it was the white screen of death, but the everyone is saying that it occurs when the battery is dieing. My LED light is still flashing and it goes off whenever I get a text or email, it's just a plain white screen. Have I damaged the screen or is it the software?

Clue anybody to probable cuase of white screen of death on a 5800 xm . Where phone just sticks on the white screen or sometimes the actual boot screen . Its not a reboot that happens phone just freezes battery out solves the problem . Have an idea that it could be tied to the Auto Keyguard switch but that may be a red herring.

Just got a problem with my X6. When I switch it on the phone vibrates and the three lights at the bottom of the phone come on. ( the call, menu and end keys). But the screen stays black. I try pressing the power button but nothing. Take out the battery and leave it out for a while then but it back in. Press the power button, phone vibrates, the three lights come on but the screen stays black. I have not yet tried the four finger reset method although I guess I might have to.Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be.

I have a Curve and this is the second time that I have plugged my Curve in (via USB) and used the Desktop Manager to back-up my Blackberry and it crashes my computer. I got the Blue Screen of Death both times that I tried to back up my Blackberry. I'm afraid it's going to crash my computer, or my Blackberry. I have read that by having the HP Printer driver installed it could cause it. I don't know if it's true or not.

So I have a Blackberry Curve 8520, Recently it has been fading into a white screen whether im listening to music, searching images, browsing the web, in a phone call etc. then it will not fully load up after I take the battery out and put it back in so I attach a charger which gets it to work every time.I went into the Orange shop and asked what this may be, they said to do updates on the phone, which there are no updates to do.

Right, I've had my blackberry for a few months now, it was bought from someone else. Only recently, my phone has been turning itself off and giving me the "white screen of death" but I've always managed to get passed it by removing the battery then restarting it. But today, it has turned itself off, reloaded to the main screen where it then freezes, the screen goes white and it says "app error 523 - reset". Ive clicked reset about a billion times and it keeps doing the same thing over and over again. I downloaded blackberry desktop/device software but it won't find my device. I tried that app wizard loader thing, but that didn't work either. And yes, my phone is charged.

I dropped my iPhone 3g this morning and the screen is white now. I can't restart it or charge it or anything. I can do my passcode though and I can hear it unlock or vibrate if I enter it wrong, but I can't see anything on the screen besides white and the occasional black or blue lines.

My Curve 9300 ran out of battery last night, so I plugged it into the charger and the blackberry logo and loading bar appeared.Problem is that instead of going to my home screen there is a white screen which says:
App Error 523
Reset
I hadnt installed the desktop software before so I have now, but because my phone has no charge as it ran out before it failed, the desktop manager cannot connect to it to allow me to re-install the software so I really dont know what to do!

5 months ago my 8900 catches the White Screen of death. This past Saturday night, connected it to laptop and 1 hour later its working fine. Pop the sim back into it. Works fine all day Sunday and Sunday night. At some point between 1am and 8am the screen turned white again. Now its stuck on the white screen but I still receive calls and messages but cant see anything. Tried to pull battery and do a complete wiping as well as a restore of applications. Nothing is working at this point. IDK how it worked Saturday night.

After putting my phone in my pocket last night, i took it out to realize that it wouldn't turn on. It was charged, but i tried to charge it again, hoping that would wake it--no luck. So, tried soft reset, hard reset, removing the SIM then soft and hard resets, but no luck. Now all I get is a blue screen after the initial AT&T logo. Very sad, I want to like ths phone, but it is hard to use when it is bricked (or I am waiting for a new one). I guess I am off to the AT&T store for a new one...

I've got a W995 which turns onto a black screen with some horizontal colourful lines running across it on occasion.
The phone is previously thought to be liquid damaged but atleast starting up now. I've disassembled the whole phone assuming the flex ribbon needs changing but after a ribbon replacement, problem persists.Can anyone confirm to me that an LCD replacement will fix this? What other problem is this symptomatic off?

For the past two months after update to iOS 8 i started experiencing Blue Screen of death from time to time.I was ignoring this issue by simple restart, but from today it became unbearable.Blue screen of death appears without any reason and puts iPhone into constant reload which can take hours.Â
I decided to put it into Restore mode, but that blue screen appears even in the middle of the restore - not allowing me even to restore it (constant error 9). I googled the fix - but even though this issue is widespread - there are no known fixes which work to date. What shocks me the most is that Apple is silent about it.Â

I own a Nokia X3-00. When I first purchased it, after 2 days, it failed to switch on. Instead a white screen appeared and after the Nokia logo appears, the screen flashes 3-4 times and than it goes off. I got a new set in place of it since it was just 3 days old. Now the new phone I got also got the same problem of white screen. I wanted to ask that what is the reason behind this white screen problem? I didn't update the firmware and didn't disturbed any settings of the phone.

I have a Blackberry Curve 8520. Yesterday it got stuck on a white screen, with a small black clock in the middle (the kind that you see when you're waiting for a page to load on the internet browser).Even if I turn my phone off, take the battery out, or put it on charge, this "white screen of death" as I've read it being described by other people online, won't go away!!
