Curve 9320 intermittent strange cursor behaviour

I bought my wife a Blackberry Curve 9320 for Christmas on the Three UK network.  All went well for about 5 days, when coming out of standby using the button on the top, the cursor could only be made to moe within the app icon area, not first her up to message notification or network areas.  Also, pressing the trackpad button or any keyboard button had no effect.  I had for restore to pulling the battery out.  i put the battery back in after a few minutes and hen it restarted everythinng was back to nomal.  Approximately five days laer the same thing happened, with te same 'cure'.
is this a known problem (OS info in sig) or is there some action I should take to resolve it?  I'm sure my wife's patience will run out soon if I don't find fix permanent fix.
Thanks for any help.

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • Strange cursor behaviour

    My iMac has developed some strange behaviour involving the cursor. I cannot correlate this with any other events, such as software updates.
    On web pages and similar windows, the cursor no longer changes shape when hovering over hyperlinks. The click still works and the cursor changes to the pointing finger as, or immediately after, the link is clicked.
    On menus, the selection highlight doesn't move with the mouse, and the subsequent fold out sub menus don't appear unless the left mouse button is held down, in which case the menu selection works fine.
    Yesterday, the click and drag stopped working for files in finder windows. It still works on the desktop icons, and text in windows and documents can still be selected by dragging the mouse. But I can no longer move files between folders by dragging; in particular, I can't move files out of the Trash without copying and pasting.
    I have repaired permissions and checked the disc for errors, no change. I have started up in safe mode, where the odd behaviour is still present, and it remains after restarting normally. I have tried different user accounts, no change. My MacBook has virtually identical settings, applications, etc. and this is not suffering the same problems.
    Anyone have any ideas what to try next, or what might be at the root of this issue, please?
    Many thanks,
    Stephen

    Further update:
    Following research in other topic discussions, I suspected that the problem was related to Intego VirusBarrier X5, which other users suggested caused problems when near or beyond expiry of the subscription. Mine has expired. On removing the Intego software, the drag and drop functionality was immediately restored. (The other, lesser problems are still there, but I can wait for a fix for those.)
    This is a bizarre issue, and if it is deliberate to 'encourage' renewal of the subscription, it is disgraceful. I shall spend no more money with Intego.
    Intego's uninstaller can be found here: http://support.intego.com/kb/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=214 and works well and quickly.
    I would still be interested to hear any solutions for menu and cursor problems, please.
    Regards,
    Stephen

  • Lenovo Flex 15 strange cursor behaviour

    Hello everyone,
    I've purchased a Lenovo Flex 15 and downgraded it to Windows 7. Everything works like a charm, except that sometimes the cursor starts to move on its own to the top left corner on the screen where the "computer" and "my documents" folders are located and it starts to open them.
    This behaviour happens randomly... do you have any idea what is causing this?
    Thanks for the help.

    I'm glad to hear it's improved! I haven't dug into the hardware too much, but usually the touchscreen is a USB device of some sort. However, the touchscreen usually uses a bus on the LVDS (maybe it's eDP now?) cable. This is why the resolution is typically lower than 1920x1080.
    For what it's worth, I've had no problems with mine either. I haven't pushed any new updates lately apart from the standard Windows updates, so your guess is as good as mine .
    Thank you for the update!

  • Outlook 2003 Contacts Sync with Curve 9320

    Blackberry Curve 9320 | Blackberry Desktop Software (7.1 Bundle 1319) | Windows XP SP3 | Office 2003 SP3
    Email stored in local pst file (no Exchange server)
    I'm  trying to sync a specific Contacts folder from Outlook to the 9320. I do the following in the software:
    - Organizer
    - Tick Contacts
    - Configure…
    - Sync direction: One way to your device only
    - Contacts account: Microsoft Outlook
    - Configure… | Outlook Profile: MS Exchange Settings (Only option)
    - Advanced…
    At this point I get a message box twice:
    "WMS Idle: Rim.Desktop.exe - Unable To Locate Component
    This application has failed to start because BJABLR32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
    Advance Contact Settings still opens so I:
    - Folders tab
    - Select different contacts to sync
    - Add required mailbox
    - Change Default Folder
    - Close and Sync Organiser
    Then I get:
    "Synchronization Error
    A program error occurred at line 1548 in .\OIAccess.cpp. Please report this error by sending a log to technical support."
    It appears to try and transfer 3 items (there are 100+) but no contacts are transferred.
    I have reinstalled Blackberry software but the error remains.
    The missing file is part of Office 2003 SP3 but despite a reinstall of the Service Pack the file was not installed in ..\Windows\System32 where it belongs.
    What should be my next step?

    Are there any alternatives to importing contacts from Outlook?

  • Curve 9320 does not sync with outlook 2010

    Well, I've seen some posts about this issue, yet, not found much in the way of solutions.
    I have a curve 9320, oldie but goodie.  I also have Outlook 2010 on this Win 7 Pro computer.
    The BB desktop software is v.7.1 bundle 2814.
    Now, when I ask the BB desktop to sync with outlook it gives me one choice under config - Outlook profile. that seems to make sense, I only have 1 profile in Outook.
    I ask it to sync,and the progress bar moves along, the task completes and it says sync complete.  And yet, nothing in the contacts, or calendar on either side has changed.  It says there are changes, but I can't see them on the outlook calendar or contacts. 
    I read in one post that having a blank email field might mess up the sync with the contacts, but could that compromise the calendar sync as well?  I set the BB desktop to only sync the calendar, and still no changes.
    Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
    Or should I just grin and bear it until I can get the classic....
    thanks

    OH Crap, I just purchased one today and all my contacts, scheduling etc, are in Outlook.  A friend told me to stick with HTC I should have listened.  I guess I've got time to take it back since it's only 10 hours old.

    Hello Sushu
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    If you want to access most BlackBerry Application over your Mobile Network then a  normal 3G data plan will not allow us, for that you have to activate BIS / BlackBerry Data Plan from our Carrier . However currently many application may work over a WiFi network .
    So if you want to use those applications over your Carrier Network then call Vodafone and activate BIS  on your account.

    Regards,

    It is not possible to use the .dbk file to transfer your contacts to your BlackBerry. Are your contacts saved in any other place other than that file?

    Hey shivamr25,
    Thanks for the reply.
    After checking your PIN number, it shows you do not have a BlackBerry® data plan with your network service provider.  This is required to use Google® Talk.  Contact your network service provider to add a plan.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Gmail App for BB Curve 9320

    I'm trying to find Gmail app client on BB curve 9320 for some reason this app cannot be found on BB App World, HELP PLZ!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Gmail client was never available in App World, but rather directly from Google. However, they have now withdrawn the app as most functions provided by it are available via the built in email client and the enhanced Gmail plugin pushed to your device when you setup a gmail account via BIS

    Hello csamit2004
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    Whenever you feel any problem always the first and best practice is to perform a Battery Pull Restart by removing the Battery while your Smartphone is Powered On , then wait for atleast a min. and reinsert it back .your device may take a long reboot . Rebooting in this manner fixes most issues within our BlackBerry Device , you won't loose any data while doing so .
    Also be sure that you're closing all application correctly , If we press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will pop up a screen which will show all running programs in the background ,generally five will always there ( Home, BBM, Message,Phone , Browser ) you can always look if any other apps. are running in the background. Always try to Close Applications Correctly - Avoid using the End key to close applications as this simply minimizes the application and leaves it running in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select the Close or Exit option to exit the application.Don't leave your Browser open on any active webpage when not in use.
    If programs run in the background it may lead to device freezing and also quick battery drainage.Please have a look at this Article I am sure it will help you a lot in overcoming your problems :

  • BB curve 9320/15

    Why are blackberry curves 9320's heats up so easily when its on 3G or when its on 2G?

     High data transfer causes high processor use, which in turn causes high battery usage, which in turn causes heat.
    Perhaps heavy usage, heavy data download, watching a video...
