2 week old blackberry curve 3G....keys still very stiff

Hello, my keys on my blackberry curve feel very stiff and shallow compared to my friends curve on sprint.  the keys feel shallow and require a significant amount of pressure to actuate.  it is 2 weeks old and i have been using to phone constantly...texting, phone, bbm, ect...this phones was not new it was a refurbished model from att.  One suggestion i have that might be causing this is that the silicone membrane under the keys was imporperly placed making the keys stiff and shallow. if you have any remedys or suggestions please don't hesitate to post.

    Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • Does anyone know how to make my old blackberry curve 8900 work with my new sim card that has been set up on my 9360?

    i hate my new blackberry 9360  it never gave me a days hassle and i want to use it for the remainder of my contract as the 9360 is just a pain and full of problems and no matter what i do i cannot get an alternative phone despite the fact that i am a high spender with loyalty of over 10 years to my supplier.  i do not want to use a fixed second hand phone.  the reason we get a new phone is emphasis on new.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    back to using a proper phone - please make some more blackberrys like the old 8900 as it is a sturdy, reliable phone.
    so my paid for brand new but got second hand repaired 9360 will sit in a box for two years.

  • Blackberry curve 8530 key pad problemWhy my bb curve keypad don't move when i go to the menu section?

    why my bb curve keypad don't move when i go to the menu section, please help me if this ever occur to yours, and what you did to fix it?

    Hi andersonbx,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT Make sure to test for the menu issue before restoring any data from your backup file. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you may want to contact your wireless provider for other options.

  • 1 week old Blackberry Passport shattered!

    My new Red Passport has a shattered screen and for the life of me I can't find anything on their website on how to get it repaired.  Help!
    SHAME on you Blackberry!  This is not what your user base expects.

    Ugh, hate to hear that.
    I have not yet seen any replacement screens for sale, although sooner or later, I'd expect truesupplier.com, eBay or Amazon to have them.
    As far as official repair, you might inquire by calling  your mobile provider to get escalated to BlackBerry Technical support for the repair. I do NOT know if BlackBerry will provide that repair.

  • I am wanting to know if my blackberry curve that I no longer use could be put on a phone card plan and if the number that she has on another phone can be transfered to the curve?

    I am giving my old phone the curve to a friend who wants to know if the phone can be phone card used?

        Good afternoon shrimpski. What a wonderful friend you are to be giving your friend your old Blackberry Curve. I need to find some friends like you to get me out of sticky situations. Are you wondering if they can use it on a prepaid account? Depending on the make and model of the Blackberry, they may be able to activate it on a Verizon Wireless prepaid account. For more information on our prepaid options please reach out to our prepaid team at 888-294-6804.
    Verizon Wireless phones can only be activated on Verizon Wireless accounts. If they are looking to use the device with a different carrier, they would want to bring it to the carrier to see if it is a device that they can activate on their network.

  • My Blackberry Curve unit unexpectedly shuts down -- any suggestions?

    Dear BB Community
    For the past week, my blackberry curve 8310 has once or twice a day shut down unexpectedly.   The only way I can get it back on is to take out battery and then reboot it.   At first I thought it only happened when the battery ran out of charge but yesterday it happened when I had what I thought was a fully charged battery.   Not sure if this is a battery problem or something else.   Appreciate the support.  Thanks Steve

    Hi steveadolph and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    You should try backing up your BlackBerry and reloading the software using the following article"

  • Blackberry curve 8520 is not working/rebooting

    since last week my blackberry curve 8520 is shut down and not rebooting, I have tried many time but when reboot it an error # 523 accour and set goes held, pls help me that How I can start it

    1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
    "c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
    3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
    4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
    5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
    NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
    BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
    Just select the appropriate device model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
    IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
    Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html
    or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php
    If JL_Cmder does not work, you can try this:

    and this: KB20371 http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB20371

  • Blackberry curve 9220 got dead in just 4 weeks. the worst service center experience in ahmedabad, gujarat - india.

    Conversation started Tuesday

    Hem(personal info removed)
    hi, my name is hem(personal info removed) from ahmedabad.
    i m feeling like a fool after buying a blackberry curve 9220 white handheld from snapdeal. i received the phone in the last week of april'13 and on 31st may'13 my phone got dead. i submitted to the service centre in ahmedabad @ mithakali on 3rd june'13(WORK ORDER NO. - (personal info removed)223). i have been told that it needs to be sent to bangalore and will be back in aroung 15-20 days. still i have not received my phone. no one from blackberry is responding to me. from service centre ms. shweta told me that it will take one week - the same reply since last two weeks. mr. chintan has cooperated well on the no.((prsonal info removed)70). mr. chintan said that this service centre does not belongs to him so he has given me one more contact no. of mr. pravin - (personal info removed).
    i m trying to get connect to this no. since last two days. this no. is either busy or not getting replied. i tried this no. in last two days for more than 50 times atleast. today mr. chintan has given me one more no. of mr. prashant ((personal info removed)13). he asked me for the WO no. and told me that some one will get back to me. i got a call from mithakali service centre and same reply - one more week. now mr. prashant is also not replying my phone. i m really not understanding a phone like blackberry which i hardly used for 4 weeks is lying with service centre since almost last four weeks. now in no way this phone is acceptable to me. now this long message is my last hope. i hope to recieve at least a reply as this is the longest message i have ever drafted in my life and that too for a bloody phone like blackberry. black service and black associates.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    As a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. BlackBerry provides zero front line support to end users, including warranty...all support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into BlackBerry at no charge to the end user.
    So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. Rather, it is through your service center and/or place of purchase...even if they may have so far been unhelpful. You have no free path by which to bypass them, and should be escalating to their management levels.
    There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the initial question, since you are bypassing the contract you signed upon purchase. If you wish to investigate that, you can review it here:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technica​l/incident.html
    There also might be some good reading here:
    http://us.blackberry.com/legal/handheld-limited-wa​rranty.html
    Good luck!

  • Shift key somehow stuck on my 2-week old MBP

    Did anyone have this problem before?
    I turned on my 2-week old uMBP 13" and it wouldn't accept my password! After minutes of frustration, I booted into Single user mode and that was when I realized the Shift key is somehow stuck! Typing will show everything in capital letters, typing "1" will show "!", etc.
    No physical damage has been done to this computer, I have not spilled any liquids on it and the keys are definitely not physically stuck (I did pry them off and check to see if there was anything under there).
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    This sounds like a defect and should be handled by warranty. If you have an Apple Store nearby make and appointment and bring it in. If you did not then contact Apple on Monday using the phone number in your manual and call them. They will help you get it taken care of. You are covered by 90 days of phone support so take advantage of it!
    Regards,
    Roger
