Curve 9360 slow performanc​e

My blackberry is so slow at times! It just randomly freezes for like 20-30 seconds and it seems to take like 10 seconds to do anything on it. Whenever I reboot it, it will work fine for about 2/3 days but then it will start freezing again. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Thank you

try clearing the cache in browser, facebook. twitter bbmaps and any other app that has a cache, also on the home screen hold ALT and press LG LG then options clear log, should speed it up and stop it freezing. Just do this as often as you please. Also where it says your carrier, don't put your phone number, put your networks name

  • Problems with OS 7.1 on Curve 9360

    Hello, I am new to the Blackberry world of things having been previous Apple and Android... I have just bought a new Blackberry Curve 9360 on Tesco Mobile (uses o2 network) and, it came pre installed with OS v7.0. (The 9360 came with a 4Gb memory card) As recommended, I have upgraded to OS v7.1 however; I seem to be having several issues with this... 1. Since the upgrade, the OS seems to hang and freeze quite a bit when switching between apps etc. I have tried a battery pull but no different. 2. I don't seem to be able to download some of the apps from Blackberry App World because my device is not compatible. I believe this is probably because the the App Developer hasn't updated the code for OS 7.0 / 7.1?? 3. Since the upgrade, I am unable to install ANY applications because it is saying I have less than 5Mb of storage space remaining on the internal storage. I have tried a battery pull but this hasn't fixed the issue. I also have a Blackberry Curve 9300 for work and, have no problems with this at all and, am very pleased with it. I noticed that my 9300 is running OS 6 and, that I have more apps available than on my 9360 so... If I downgrade my OS to v6.0 on my Curve 9360, will this (1), cure the slowness problem? (2) download the same amount of apps as on my 9300? (3) will a downgrade cure the space issue or, can you provide any other help on this?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Your assumption about app compatibility is correct...every app must be ported to every specific BB model number as well as major OS level. Some developers choose to not do so, others just take longer to catch up.
    As for your other issues...every situation is unique. Each BB has a fixed amount of AppMemory which must house the OS, all apps, and some amount of app data, overhead, etc. So, the mixture of those that you choose will determine what you cam have as far as additional apps, performance, etc. But, this KB might give you some help:
    KB14320 How to maximize battery life and free memory on the BlackBerry smartphone
    You also should try other 7.1 packages...some are reported to be more stable than others.
    Sadly, it's pretty much impossible to tell you what the exact results will be for you...every situation is unique as well as every users tolerance levels, so you must figure out what works best for you.
    Good luck!

  • Curve 9360 Charging Problems

    I've had a couple problems with my blackberry curve 9360, battery life, slow, freezing, but this one is the worse.
    When i go to charge my phone, it doesn't charge properly. I plug it in and it shows a plug type icon in the battery, not the normal charging icon. The phone charges for a minute then goes back to the icon, In order for it to charge properly I have to hold and push the plug harder into my phone. 
    Is this a problem I should just go to koodo and get fixed? Also, I have had this phone for only 4 months, is it possible I am entitled for a replacement, becasuse Im getting really tired of it.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Run, don't walk, to Koodo. But first, check your paperwork and know your warranty rights and provisions...those will govern what you are eligible for. Be sure to take everything with you so that you can properly demonstrate to them the exact behavior.
    Good luck!

  • Curve 9360 Freezing

    So i got a new blackberry curve 9360 for Christmas but recently it has gotten very slow and most of the time when i try to unlock it nothing will happen for a good few minutes and then the phone will unlock like it has frozen.
    I havent dropped it or anything yet and the only apps i have are the ones that came with it like google and facebook and then the bbm.
    Has this been happening to other people? Should i take it back to the shop?

    I have a 9360 and experienced the same issues.  I wiped the device and loaded everything from scratch.  Its working better now.

  • Text Message display on Curve 9360

    Hi...just got a new Curve 9360. The default text message display shows all messages i.e. if I've sent a text most recently that is what I see at the top. What I want it to do is show the SMS Inbox (which I can navigate to via the folder options, but I can't find a way to set it as a default). Can't work out how to do it either on the device or when connected to the PC. Any suggestions...?...R

    Do you mean that currently ALL of your email messages and SMS text messages are mixed in one folder when you view, and you want to see a folder on your homescreen of ONLY your SMS text messages? And your email messages in another folder?
    If so, on your device, open that Messages folder > press the Menu key > Options > Inbox Management and check the box on "Text Messages", and save. That will put an SMS Text message folder on your screen.

  • Curve 9360 Notification Bar

    Hi,
    I'm new to the blackberry world!  I just got the Curve 9360 and used to have a notification bar under the time and date.  It displayed any notifications (text, bbm, email, facebook etc..) also a search bar, and the volume button.  not sure how I did this but it's gone,  can anyone help?  how do I re-add this bar.  It's a pain having to go into all the menus to see where the notification are and changing the volume etc...

    Will you do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    After rebooted, let me know what you see on your homescreen?
    If it remains the same with this notification bar missing, could you please post a screenshot here?

  • Curve 9360 custom sound alerts for messages will not work. Tried EVERYTHING.

    I have a brand spanking new BlackBerry Curve 9360 that just arrived yesterday.  It is great apart from this very frustrating small prob.  I can not customise my message alerts for individual people in my address book.  When I click on "try it" only the LED button flashes and there is no sound or vibration.  I am trying to get the sound and vibrate to play as "active profile" but it just won't.  I can override it and have custom volume and vibrate that plays no matter what the profile but as I sometimes like to set my main profile to vibrate or silent, it won't do.
    So far, to fix it, I have tried:
    Wiping profile and sounds from the blackberry software
    Full factory reset
    Creating my own profile and using that instead of "normal" or any of the other preset ones
    Loads of battery pulls before and/or after any changes
    I have also had a few different people text me to make sure the problem isn't just the "try it" feature.  It isn't.  The sound that plays is always the default message sound for whatever the default profile is.
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
    Deb

    I have also experienced exactly the same problem.
    The profile is set on normal, with the ringer volume on 10, the ring tone has been selected, and I have also selected the option of the vibrator along with the ring tone.
    Now here is the problem, initially it rings and works perfectly, however it seems to automatically turn off the volume so the LED light keeps flashing, however there is not ring tone or vibration.
    If you select the "normal" profile or any other profile and change the ring tone or the volume, and click on the try it icon at the bottom, it still only flashes the LED, with no sound.
    Have tried everything that you have mentioned in your email, however still unable to rectify the issue. the only way to rectify is it to hard stop the BB, by pulling out the battery and restarting the Blackberry.
    Can anyone help or suggest what needs to be done ?

  • Curve 9360 OS 7.1 update problems

    Couldn't find any threads with this particular problem, so here goes....
    I'm trying to upgrade my T-Mobile Curve 9360 to OS 7.1, so I try checking for updates, either over the wireless or connected to the desktop using the BB website and Desktop Software v7.  Every time, it tells me my phone is up to date, even though I'm running OS 7.0.0.319.  The only other version indicated available is the one I already have.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
    Solved!

    Hello!
    Please refer to the official download portal to know what OS packages each carrier has released and is therefore supporting:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Also, at the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for each model. You can use those as reference as you proceed.
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • Cannot open pdf attachment on Curve 9360

    Hi,
    I cannot open some pdf attachments on my Curve 9360.
    Some pdfs are fine but our fax to email service pdfs will not open - just get a qustion mark in the file icon and when trying to open I get 'This attachment type cannot be viewed on your device'.
    This is really frustrating as it means when I am away from the office and we get a fax (which comes through as a pdf attachement by email) I cannot see what it is !
    The same pdf files open fine on my laptop (in outlook) and a friend has a blackberry bold and the same pdf opens fine on his bold !
    I am on OS7.1 (Bundle 2494) on my Curve 9360 but I have had the problem from back since OS6.
    Any suggestions guys ?  Could something be missing/corrupted on my Blackberry casuing this problem ?

    Hello Sparpo,

  • Curve 9360 not ringing with incoming calls

    Good day. I am using a Blackberry Curve 9360 Smartphone.
    Hope you can help me, I have inadvertently ticked the "All Alerts Off" option instead of the "Silent" option.
    The phone rejects my attemps to change it back to All Alerts on, with a reply "Alerts  Off cannot be editted or deleted"
    There's a red tick mark next to the icon, and the icon is also highlighted in red.
    The "Normal" option is ticked at the moment but the "All Alerts Off" option remains the same.
    Incoming calls go straight to voicemail without a ringing alert, and a sms informs me of a missed call.
    Please advise me how to resolve this problem, URGENTLY !!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    That is strange indeed...typically, only one profile at a time can actually be active...from what you describe, both Normal and All Alerts Off are active at the same time...not normal. Lets try this...
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Now try to reset your sound profile as you desire.
    Best!

  • Curve 9360 TrackPad gone bust what to do?

    Hi guys I've had my BB curve 9360 for around 2 months now, recently the trackpad started not working I've tried all of the methods such as taking out sim memory card battery etc these all worked temporarily but did not fix the issue.
    These methods have finally stopped working and my trackpad light doesn't come on at all now, I think it's tracking functions have come to an 'end', it does click to open things but it doesn't scroll so as you can imagine almost impossible to navigate on my phone. Having to use the search function to find things now, but it's hell trust me...
    I have tried looking online for a replacement trackpad but because this phone is still fairly new I have been unable to find a replacement OEM replacement. All I see on ebay and other online sites is trackpads for other curves not this one...
    I am wondering if a curve 9300 3g trackpad would work or if anyone can tell me the best thing to do cause this is a real nuisance for me, I love this phone but right now I can't do a thing with it...
    Is the 9360 trackpad any different from the one used in the 9300 3g?
    Thank you guys

    OK, so you really don't have any warranty, having bought the device used.

    I can't find on the BB website a page where I can consult confortably,  on my PC, the available apps for BB Curve 9360.

    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    If, by "apps", you mean those natively included with the OS package, then that's tricky...there is a variety of core apps, but each carrier is free to "wrap" the core OS package with things specific to their network and/or that they have chosen to push on to their customers.
    If, by "apps", you mean add-on and 3rd party apps that the user chooses to download, then there are a variety of resources:
    AppWorld: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/product/1/?LID=us:bb:apps:blackberryapps&LPOS=us:bb:apps&reg...
    MobiHand
    Handango
    BPlay
    GetJAR
    Each of them functions differently, so it's rather difficult to provide you with specific detailed instructions for each.
    Good luck!
