I've got a bb torch 9800 which I've had nearly a year but over the past few months I've had problems with the trackball were its working 1 min then the next its not but recently I did a software update and it seems to have just stopped working altogether no matter what I do and try
So I got my first BB 6 months ago! I loved it I babied it! I never had a phone do so much keep me so entertained. Keep me so up to date with everything> I left the G1 for the BB and it was still much better I could contact friends I could not any other way with the BBIM. Then one day she died in her track ball! So I had to replace her. That was 2 months into the love affair I was having with the BB.
So I got the replace meant and it was harder than anything to tell her by. I could tell my wife by with ease but not her. I loved her! She was my best friend my companion I never left her behind! So many bars so many experiences SO MUCH TROUBLE ELIMINATED. But she had to go, Like a horse with a broke leg she was worthless!
So on to my second one not so much babying as I still thought of her predecessor. She could never be HER! I however gave here a chance! and we grew a bond unlike no other.
we were inseparable every where together only a handful of hungover days did I forget to bring her with me to work. I m,ade up for that many a time!
She finally committed suicide of the track ball as well. Following her predecessor. So I had to replace her again but this time I had new knowledge of how to use her while I waited. I also had a callous numbness to her loss from my first marriage to a BB! So I was not hurt or lonely!
So as I awaited my replacement BB Curve 8900. I did not care as soon as it arrived she was done she was gone to the wayside! I hope you can be refurbished but I can never trust you ever!
My new mistress arrived I opened her fondled her and loaded her with all I had! Only to find out I had been burned. She did not work for data. or incoming calls. She was a teasing *****! So back to my previous mistress! With no track ball while I fight for a free upgrade due to have gone through 3 BB 8900 in 6 months WTF
On my blackberry, when i press the trackball, the pound key and number key show up on my dial number screen and all i want to do is click on one of my applications ive tried taking the battery in and out and
As the title states, my keyboard won't work at all and my trackball won't click in. I think it's because I touched my trackball when my finger was slightly wet. After that, I tried texting and the characters on the screen didn't correspond with what was being typed. Now it won't work at all. What can I do?
I have the 8900 and my carrier is Tata Docomo. None of the keys and the trackball are working, This includes the mute key on top of the phone, the lock key, the side push button keys , . . all keys are not working. And neither is the trackball.I flashed the OS, as in reinstalled the OS, 5.0.090 (Platform 4.0.023) but that didnt solve the problem.
I've also plugged out the media card, to avoid any conflicts.Have done hard resets of course, but thats not helped either.Except for the keys not functioning, the phone is otherwise functioning, I can recieve calls, which I of course cant pick up. I am being able to use it as a modem and connect to the internet using Desktop Manager. The Desktp manager is detecting the phone, too.
The Desktop manager version I am using is 5.0.1.11.Out of the 252.5 M device space available, I have 131.0 M free.
so here's my problem. i went over to a friends house today for a barbecue, and when i got there i sent a text so i know everything was working fine. a few hours later i get home and notice that the screen on my Curve is black, and i knew something was up because i know it was fully charged before i left the house earlier. hit the buttons and nothing. so i do a battery pull and it reboots fine, then the screen goes black after 30 seconds and then hit the buttons and nothing. when i hook a mini usb cable up to the port, the screen comes back on for the usual 30 seconds, then goes black like the other times. when i connected it via the cable and the screen lit up, i noticed that the trackball scrolls fine left and right, but pushing the trackball does nothing.the phone is about a year and a half old, through Verizon. i have no problem with getting a new phone, but i don't want to loose the 150 or so contacts i have on the phone. i don't have Google Sync installed on the phone, and i'm guessing that it's too late to back anything up now on my end. when i connect it to my PC, i can access the usually Media folders and Slacker, but nothing else. if i take it into a local VZW store, would they be able to back up my address book the exact way it is now, since the phone powers on and the USB port works fine?i'm going to remove the shell tonight and see if i notice anything.
Got my first bb ever last night with the bold and I love it. But, I have a question: when browsing sites in the browser, when you hover a link aren't you supposed to be able to just push in the trackball button to 'click' the link? Its not working for me on any sites. I actually have to press the BB menu button and select "Open Link". (e.g on crackberry wallpapers, when i click on a specific genre of wallpapers like "ART", I have to select "open link" instead of just clicking the trackball). It might just be because I am not familiar with all the menu settings yet and this is a buried setting somewhere.
I upgraded my Verizon Curve 8330 to a Tour and now my trackball is acting up. I'm thinking of changing the trackballs since I never had a problem with the Curve. Are they all the same size or has anyone had problems trying this. I'm not worried about taking it apart or the warranty, but would like to see if this was successful for anyone else first.
my touch pad on my torch scrolls but will not click on anything. is there anything i can do to get it to work? i just had the phone replaced in december and it crashed in april.
The cursor on my Torch 9810 has disappeared. No matter how much I try to rub the 'trackball/trackpad' the cursor just won't reappear.I removed the battery, waited about 2 mins, reinserted it, but the problem persists!Please help! What shud I do? A lot of aplications depend on the trackpad and cursor.
what is the difference between 8900 trackball and 9000 trackball.and what if i have installed 9000 trackball in my 8900.In fact 9000 trackball is bit smother and crispier,can i use it on 8900
Have noticed that I'm unable to send / receive messages unless I'm connected to a Wi Fi network. I was in Singapore last week and the only way I could use messenger was to use my laptop as a hotspot using Connectify ad yes I did have data roaming enabled but I get exactly the same problem back here in Scotland, if I send a msg I get the 'pending' icon and nothing happens. I have spoken to my service provider today (Vodafone UK) and they said all the required features are in place, the settings at their end look correct and that I should post something here.
I am using BB Torch 9800, I can see the BB logo on the top right corner of all other pbones but its not in my handset and thats the reason BB services do not work on my phone when I am using it thru a wifi. Can you explain me how it is to be done.
BBM and Facebook wont work on WIFI ,before I installed a loadtalkslite applications everything was working fine using WIFI emails facebook APP and BBM but after i remove the loadtalkslite app i wasn't able to use BBM and FACEbook or receiving emails via WIFI
I purchased a blackberry torch 9810 in Dubai from a Vodafone shop at the airport (brand new), I have had it for about 2 weeks and my keypad seems to stop working when it feels like it, it is usually the "ALT" and "n" key, I currently live in South Africa, where I can take my phone to be repaired? Should it still be under warranty even if I purchased it abroad?
i have been going through some tough times the last month, all my blackberry keys did not work at all, only the touch screen worked, i gave it to a service center and then now all the keys but one work, thats the menu button
I've changed my GMail password from PC and consequently I didnt receive any mail on my BB. I tried to change the psw on BB as well, but when I go to SETUP... nothing happens. The icon remain unactive. I tried to reboot and updated but no way to get access to Setup function.
I received a BB Torch 9860 as a Christmas gift and have been having some problems with it. First of all, I had issues registering a BlackBerry ID and was finally able to register online and set up my ID. I then signed in on my device using the password I'd created, and this prompted a back-up, followed by a lengthy process which I assumed to be a restoration back to factory settings, based on what was appearing on screen.I left the device to complete this process, which seemed to take over an hour, and a message eventually appeared to tell me that it had been successful. From then on, I had problems with the screen freezing and all buttons and icons have been completely unoperational. I rebooted several times, removed the battery, the sim card and the memory card individually and then a combination of all of these things together, but nothing helped and each time the device restarted, the screen was still frozen. I then removed the battery while it was switched on, and this seems to have solved the problem, but I'm now really worried that I'm going to have ongoing problems.
I am currently using a Torch and my BBM used to work on Wifi until a week ago, wherein it does not work on Wifi anymore. My Data Services is on and I have turned off roaming. Under service status, it says that my Blackberry Internet Service is Not Connected.
I've done a update in my app would and when I went back on to 'bbm' it's saying ' cannot set up BBM, A temporary BBM server error has occurred' I've got wifi connected but its n still not working, bbm is still working since I'm getting messages to my phone but I can't see it since the screen is coming up saying its not connecting..
My trackball won't click. (It will move the cursor, it just won't select anything.) I've found the that "enter" key will work in instead of the trackball click in most cases, but there are a few where it doesn't. For instance, I can't select a text field within a web form.
Can you suggest a keyboard shortcut to replace the trackball click?
Almost 3 yrs old. Suddenly the trackball will scroll up, left, right, but not down. So I can't scroll thru my email, contacts, or access any application on the 2nd row of the menu. Anybody have a fix for this
Works in every direction but down. Works for days then goes on the blink for days. I was told it was the battery so I got a new one. Still doesn't work.Is this a software or a mechanical problem? I can use space bar to navigate through messages and text, but can't access applications, utilities, etc. unless there's a work-around I'm unfamiliar with.
The trackball on My blackberry curve 3g 9300 moves by itslef as if someone else is using it. normally it just scrolls itself up , but occasionaly it goes all over. it makes it hard to text, visit apps, or to just generally use the phone. ive had my phone for 9 months now, and it started doing this since 2months of me owning it.
Is there a way to scroll without using the trackball on my bold? I need to get pics off of device that are *.rem. change them to jpg works so far. I know I can email them to myself to get them, but the trackball quit scrolling upwards. I would like to get them off this phone so I can get a new one. This one has always had trackball issues but is getting worse.
