8900 keeps going into standby and the only way to unlock is to press the power button?

Hi,
I Recently had my T-Mobile blackberry unlocked for my wife to use.  It is now on Virgin.  I have upgraded the software and everything is working well with the exception that the phone keeps going into some kind of stand by.  It isn't the normal keypad lock,  the unlock button wont unlock it, you have to press the red power button for a few seconds to wake it up.
It appears to be on a timer as it locks after about 2 minutes and goes to a black screen.  It will happen in the middle of typing a text or whatever you are doing and when you press the power button to unlock it, it then takes you back to the home screen.. Very annoying!
I have gone through all the options and cant find anything to stop it.  The auto on/off if off.  Password is disabled with security time out set to 30 mins.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Managed to sort the problem by roling back the software to version 4.6.1
Thanks for all your help.....??

  • Curve 8900 Keeps going in Standby Mode

    Hi,
    My Curve 8900 keeps going into Standby mode by itself even when nothing has been touched.  Gives message "Entering Standby mode.  Press the Mute key again to exit Standby mode."  Looks like others have posted similar problems.  The device is quite new but without warranty.
    Thanks.

    Mine keeps going into standby too. What a piece of **bleep** all blackberrys are. If it weren't for the messenger I would have switched to a nokia a long time ago. I doubt this thread will raise a response from RIM.

  • When I am in firefox and I go to google and click on a link, it pops up as something else randomly. The only way it works is by coping the link into address bar

    When I am in firefox and I go to google and click on a link, it pops up as something else randomly. The only way it works is by coping the link into address bar. I thought it might be google so I went to bing and it did the same thing. it will not go to the link but instead change to livesearchnow or ihavenet.com
    It is really a pain as I search google ALOT. So please someone help. I reset firefox once and even reinstalled it once as well as updated it once. Nothing works.

  • If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock is from the original computer?

    If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock the phone to connect to the original computer? Is there no way to connect to itunes? HELP!

    Restoring as a new device means you will loose everything.  You can restore from a backup, but if that backup includes the same passcode you cannot remember now, then it will just put it back in place and you will be right back where you are.  If the backup does NOT include the passcode currently on the device, you can restore from that backup.
    If restoring as new, you will loose any pictures in camera roll not already saved somewhere else (like your computer).  You will loose any contacts also not already saved somewhere else.
    Once you've restored the iPhone though, you can re-sync the contacts and other content from your backup copies on your computer.  iTunes and App store content can always be redownloaded.

  • The scroll bar for Firefox cannot be controlled by the mouse, the only way I can scroll is with the arrow keys, help!!

    I have a brand new Dell Alienware laptop running Windows 7 and I just installed the latest Firefox browser. My problem is that the scroll bar for the browser does not work when using the mouse... the mouse cannot control the scroll bar either by clicking the up or down arrow or by dragging the bar with the mouse. The only way for me to scroll using Firefox is to use the arrow keys on my keyboard.

  • Is there a way to make touch id the only way to unlock the iPhone 5s?  I don't want a password code to also be able to do so.  Thanks!

    I know touch id replaces the need to input a code but I would rather only have my fingerprint as the only way to access my iphone.  Is this possible? Thanks!

    Thanks Chris.  I had already read this.  It seems like Touch Id will make it faster to access a locked iphone but the security code remains an alternative option to unlock an iphone, which is what I wanted to avoid.  In other words, I would want Touch Id to be the only option to unlock my iphone but it seems like this is not an option.   
    If you have a concern that someone would guess your four-digit code, try turning off Simple Passcode, and choose a complex alphanumeric passcode.  Perhaps that would help.

  • Phone goes into standby and wont turn off after update!!! please help me as hate it

    On Friday I turned my phone off as per usual and turned back on in the morning to find the phone totally different.
    The red lock button now only sends the phone into like a sleep mode, and i cant find any where to turn it off.
    The screens keep fading down and I have re set the backlight to not dim but some thing is over riding it.
    I used to love my phone and now hate it so much, is there a way of booting this update off my phone and putting it back to how it was. I tried to restore and its the same and then tried to put the phone back to previous settings I had stored on my lap top but again nothing.
    I now have some new blackberry software on the lap top too which now does not even recognise my phone and there for the past restore points I had.
    My daughters bold 9700 does the same thing now too, please please help

    Hiya!
     Blackberry doesnt actually "turn off" it only goes into a standby mode (press and hold the end call button). To fully power it down, you would perform a battery pull.

  • IPod goes into standby and immediately wakes without unlucking it

    I have some iPods which I can't always put in standby the first time.
    When i press the topmost button it goes in standby for about a second and then it wakes again
    I have a few iPods (all touch 5g) on which this occurs.
    Other symptoms of these devices are:
    Takes 10 - 15 seconds after wake from standby before touch is reactive.
    After a hard reset (holding both buttons until Apple logo appears) reopens previously closed apps
    iPod hangs from time to time, even with no apps opened
    There is 10Gb + available on the device so this should available space should not be a problem
    Is there anything I can change in settings to solve this?

    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • When I do a Google search Firefox will not connect me to the links. The only way for me to connect to the listed pages is to right click on the link and open in a new tab or window. I have reinstalled Firefox and the issue still remains.

    I run windows 7 on a Gateway FX6000 series computer. This issue has been going on for some time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. There are not any malware programs on my machine according to the scans I have run using Ad-Aware. If I use another browser I can connect to Google search links with no problems.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • My 3050 J610 printer goes into standby or sleep mode and then I cannot print docs to it wirelessly

    Everytime I do not print something for a few hours, my printer goes into standby or sleep mode.  When it does this, it cannot be used to print from my laptop or android to it.  Is there a way to set this up so that it doesn't "go to sleep" and it is always available to me to print with.  I like the printer, but it seems kind of off that you cannot print on it wirelessly and it is considered a WIRELESS printer.  That's the only reason I bought it and now I can't even use it without walking downstairs and turning the printer back on again.  If I wanted to do that every time I would just print from my main computer!
    Thanks,
    Ashley
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, I know this thread is a little old, but it would not allow me to start a new one, since I am new. I am having the same issues with my 3050 J610 as everyone else. It makes you think there is a wireless connection problem, but that is not the case. The printer goes into a standby mode and there is no way to bring it out of it, unless you cycle the printer. The panel buttons will still work, you just lose the ability to print wirelessly.
    I have had my 3050 J610 in two different rooms, master bedroom and basement office. Both areas work well when it is connected and awake. After a while of inactivity, it goes into standby mode and cannot print wirelessly. Here are steps I have taken so far:
    When the printer goes into standby and will not print wirelessly, I have check to make sure there is still a connection between the router and the printer - There is
    I have set a static Id for the printer at .210
    Cycling the printer brings the connection back instantly.
    The front panel buttons work just fine when it does not have connectivity
    In the basement, the machine has excellent signal and connection.
    I have checked the recommendations in this thread, and like others, there are no options under the advanced tab of the maintenance page. The problem is a standby or sleep issue. When this arises, it has connection to the router, but the wireless computer does not have connection to the machine. I know when it was in the bedroom, the light would blink 3 or 4 times now and then throughout the night. We need a way to turn off the standby, or bring the machine out of standby mode. It is not an issue of the router, channel, interference, or software. It is the sole issue of standby or sleep modes. I have been pulling my hair out for almost two years over this issue. I swore I would not buy another HP product after the problems I had with a printer and laptop. But I thought I would give HP another chance.

  • The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos

    The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • Has anyone found the iPhone 4 alerts sounds keep turning down. The only way to get them back up is to switch the phone off and then back on.

    My iPhone 4 alert volume keeps turning its self down even though the volume is turned up. The only way to correct is to turn the phone off and then back on.

    YES!  This is really killing me and you're the only one to bring it up in discussions!  I constantly have to turn it off and on to get it back to norm, and this other reply about clean wiping in/resetting it is just too much of a pain in the @#*.  I don't have the apple warranty, but do have verizon as a carrier with insurance.  I wonder if they'll have a clue as to what to do, or just default to the idiocy that is the norm.  Good luck to us both.  Btw, I have the 4s..
