AT&T Unlocked Blackberry Classic Bluetooth Won't Turn On

I just purchased an AT&T branded Blackberry Classic and regretfully I can't get Bluetooth to activate. I've tried EVERY method on the boards and no such luck. Yes, I've restored back to factory 2 times now and still, Bluetooth won't activate. Any other ideas or thoughts?

Thank you. Given that, I next recommend you reload your OS, but via the unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/It may also be that your device has a hardware issue, which of course no amount of OS loading can cure. You can run BBVE to see if it provides you with any information, but if it is hardware, you'd have to seek formal warranty support from whoever you purchased it from.Article ID: KB35973 Using the BlackBerry Virtual Expert (BBVE) diagnostics applicationGood luck and let us know!

Bluetooth won't turn on on my new c5

I received a c5 phone this august but the bluetooth won't turn on. I already updated the software, tried the factory settings but it's no use. Could this be a factory defect? I am planning to exchange it back to Nokia but i don't have the receipt anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you try to switch Bluetooth on? Is there an error message?

IPOD CLASSIC. WON'T TURN ON :/ ANY INFO HELPFUL

I recently recieved an iPod Classic for Christmas, one my parents purchased from eBay. It was working fine for about two weeks, and then it stopped working. It won't turn on at all unless I connect it to my computer with the USB cord. I have USB 2.0, because my computer is new. So, my iPod flashes on and off on the apple logo screen, for about a second and then starts all over again, never long enough for it to access the computer and be recognized by it. But when I push the reset buttons it still flashes, for a second longer. Any ideas on what I should do? And because I got it used, I have no idea about the warranty. Is this possibly a battery problem, if so how can i fix this, possibly the cheapest way. And do you know if all eBay purchases have warranty's? Please respond.

Blackberry Curve 8520 won't turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on,there was a red light on for a minute! Took out my sim card,memory card & battery and tried to charge it then. It came up for literally one second a drained battery sign. Really don't want to send it away, any help would be great Thanks!

Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

IPod classic 80gig won't turn off

My iPod classic 80 gig (2007) won't turn off. It seems to me the whole Play/Pause switch is non-functional. How to fix? Everything else seems all right.
Also, when I do 'reset', and get the apple logo, is that signifying 'turned off'? (I've just bought the iPod 2nd hand, so am not familiar with it.)
Replies appreciated.

For what it's worth:
My iPod Photo (60G, purchased June 2005) wouldn't turn off either. I nearly always play the iPod docked to a Bose SoundDock external speaker. Yesterday, I lifted it off the speaker dock without turning it off first to take it on a trip. Discovered it wouldn't turn off by holding down pause/play, even for a full minute. No choice but to let it drain until the next day. Back home, I placed it in the dock, let it charge for about 15 minutes, turned it on (it turned on OK), turned it off *while still docked* (it turned off OK), took it out of the dock, turned it on out of the dock (OK), turned it off out of the dock (OK).
Not sure what, if anything, this means.

My dad's ipad 2 is glitchy. The icons are small, and some have no design. The dock is gone, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it won't turn

I was just checking fb when suddenly i accidentally pressed this app about this battery thing. Now some icons are small, and some icons have no design
There is no dock, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it didn't turn. I turned it off and on about many times, and the play, fast forward, and reverse button are overlapping. ITS SO GLITCHY!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
Very frustrating.
I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

Blackberry Bold 9700 won't turn on and keeps rebooting!

I tried to remove battery and again place it and I tried to connect with software in computer, But It isn't connect, and I can not back up my files, or reload my blackberry

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

Bluetooth won't turn on...

I recently installed a couple of themes onto my N90. Since then I have been unable to turn on my bluetooth, even after uninstalling the themes to revert the phone back to the state it was in when bluetooth would work.
Please help!
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi there! Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I have an S4 as well and started having the same issue with the Bluetooth functionality on my phone. It was working fine just a day ago and now I can't get the Bluetooth to turn on.
Any information you have is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1st Gen - 2.2.1 update Bluetooth won't turn on

Tried reset / power cycled. Just spins. Doesn't even turn the radio on.
Now what?

How do you know it's not working? Seeing the spinning progress wheel in the Bluetooth settings sections is like seeing the light on in your fridge - when the door's open, it's always on. Even with my Apple headset already paired, I see the spinning wheel.

For the second time my wi fi is grey and Bluetooth won't turn on was already given a new one but leaving for vacation tonight and now will be leaving with no phone working like it should be! What am I to do?

Can't turn on wi fi nor Bluetooth for second time leaving for vacation tonight but without a proper phone happened once before and they replaced it but there has to be someway to fix it without going to apple! My plane leaves in four hours

Hey Webbrowser. I am sorry for the delayed response and that bluetooth and WiFi was giving your device some troubles. I hope that you had a nice vacation that you had a safe return.
Are you still having issues with WiFi and Bluetooth?
If so, please try resetting the network settings, http://vz.to/uLOEAI.
After you update the network settings, please update us with results and let us know if the WiFi and Bluetooth are now working.

Bluetooth won't turn on (iPhone 5)

Hi there,
Have a problem with my iPhone 5. When I try and turn on Bluetooth it gets stuck on the turning wheel icon and never turns on. I have tried turning it on and off, a proper reboot and updating the iOS without any success in getting it work properly again. Anyone got any advice?
Thanks,

If the issue continues, since all other basic troubleshooting has already been done, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Won't turn on

Hi all,
Yesterday my BB8520 froze and I pulled out battery and pull in again after i pull in the phone doesn’t wont to start it just blink my led red 1 long and after series of 4 short blinks.
I read a lot of forums and I tried everything like loader and etc. but the main problem is that my pc doesn’t recognize my bb. I already try with different cables and other pc but steel same story. I put on wall charger to be charged all night but nothing change as well I pull out my battery more than 4 hours nothing change again it’s any possibility this phone to be putted in some kind of flash mode which will help to be recognized by my pc. And steel I don’t know does it charge my phone when is in this mode because I think that I have only 3 stripes when I pull out my battery.
Many thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

Classic 80g won't turn off

I have reset my 80g classic and still can't get it to turn off. Pressing and holding the play button the screen goes blank and then turns back on in about 2 minutes. Any help would be appreciated.

If the pod is frozen--that is doesn't respond at all when you hold donw the play button (which is the Off commenad) then press the menu and center button and hold both unitl the apple logo appears. This is called a "Reset" but it really jsut restarts the ipod and reload the Operating system (like booting a computer). That usually fixes that problem, which occurs on many models of ipods.
If, when you hold down the play button the ipod turns off but immediately turns back on, and it does this every time, I don't think there is a fix for that; I think that is a defective ipod. This is a new problem that's shown up with the new "classic" ipods.

Bluetooth won't turn off or on.

At times, my blue-tooth is very finicky.
When I try to connect a mouse, and I disconnect the mouse, and turn off the BT, I have to RESTART my Mac before BT can be turned on again.
If I don't restart the Mac, the blue-tooth will be in a perpetual "turning on" mode and never actually execute.
I just installed the software update as well.
This happens not just for mice, but if I try to connect to my phone as well.
Any help? Thanks.

I used the Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
that fixed up the problem right away!
