Battery icon with a red line

Hi
my curve has stopped working. on the screen there is a battery icon with a red line through it. have tried taking the battery out and putting it back in with no luck. any ideas ?

Hello,
I had the same problem yesterday. After troubleshooting I found that the my memory card had become corrupt causing the device to fail.
I removed the memory card and performed a soft software reboot, when the unit turned off I removed the battery and put it back inn.
My curve restarted twice on its own and now its working just fine.
I ran the same test with the memory card installed and it consistently failed.
I hope this helps.

Battery icon with a red on it

please help my phone does boot, switch and i have tried so much nothing works...can one of help i hope there someone who once had the problem, how did you resolve it

Yez, some details would help.
If your battery icon is RED, it is discharged below 10%.
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.
Here are some good charging tips, please read and you'll see that many of them will apply to you.

Battery icon with red line

I have a curve that only displays the battery icon with the red line thru it.
I have tried 3 different batteries in it and have also tried reloading the OS thru DM but no luck. I have a second Curve that works just fine with all the batteries I have for it.
Is there anyother way to reload the OS without using DM to do it? or any other cure for the battery problem

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Try doing the application load with the battery out. It will error out and give a message similar to "unable to connect to device during a multi-stage load operation". Once you get the error, put the battery back in and try the application load again.
You may have to try this four or five times, but if you can "spark" it for the second it looks for the PIN and gets connected you can finish the load.
Make sense?

Battery Icon with Red Line on BB 8310

So, how pervasive is the problem of theBlackberry 8310 and its icon with the red line across from it? Is it a problem with the battery? Or is it a problemwith the phone? IS there any fix?
Mine came brand new in a box a few daysago. It came with a blue battery (C-S2). As soon as I put the battery into thephone, the dreaded Icon (battery with a red line through it) showed up. I charged it, thinking that means the batteryis empty and left it charging for over 5 hours, hoping the Icon will go away.It never did, and now 4 days later and an infinite number of battery pulls, some with a twist or two, it is still there. If it was any otherpiece of technology I would dismiss it as junk. But, oh, this is the famous BB.
Instead, I did some research, have spentupwards of 15 hours over the last 4 days, trying to figure it out. I ran intolots of things on the Net, including the crackberry postings with people sayingthat they got rid of the problem by dropping (!!) the BB from 3-4 feet,sometimes repeatedly, until it fixed itself. Others report the problem aftersome time of use (flaky construction?). On this forum alone there are at least4 recent postings with the identical problem (search for “8310 battery line”and find the post of “Spyridonas” 12-13-08, of “black_black_b” 06-10-09, of “hades” 09-27-09 and of “Alien_X” 09-28-09. None of those seems to have got the attentionof anyone from RIM, and nobody offered any meaningful solution. As people have reported time and again, it isvery unlikely to be the problem with the battery, so we are left to conclude thatthe phones are lemons.
We spend lots of money for a useless pieceof junk and nobody at RIM cares. If this was a car, it would have been recalled a long time ago. I will get my money back and buy somethingelse, maybe a Nokia or even a Moto. Watch out RIM, you are pissing off a lot ofpeople, and some of them are the wrong people to piss off.

I did not overlook anything.
I think you did. You pointed out each instance you could find when this fix did not work. You failed to point out the dozens of times this fix did work.
So, to answer your initial post questions:
So, how pervasive is the problem of theBlackberry 8310 and its icon with the red line across from it?
Not very pervasive. It certainly is not one of the top ten problems judging from the questions I see asked here and elsewhere.
Is it a problem with the battery?
Could be. Have you tried a brand new battery (I forget if you said).
Or is it a problemwith the phone?
Again, could be. There could be an issue with your battery contacts on the device.
IS there any fix?
For most, yes. We've been over that.
Try cleaning the contacts on the device. See if that helps. Try a new battery... and often new batteries are very low or close to dead upon purchase so follow the directions above to charge and bootup.

To: JSanders,
I had already seen this bit of lame “advice” that has been circulating on BB boards and hadtried it several times,
Oh, thank you so much. You know, you get what you give. Your initial post above did not state what you had tried several times. We don't read minds, well, I don't at least.
Alien_X wrote:
Anytime you buy a brand new item and it fails to work after 4 days of trying anything you can find I”d say you got a lemon.
You've had it four days, brand new, and you haven't returned it for a new device? That would be my first suggestion had you stated that first off. I would not keep that device if first off it didn't work. But a lemon? Nah, it's not a pervasive problem inherent to the model, which is what a lemon is normally defined as.

This is a community support forum. Your post above just reaks of attitude. If you're expecting users here to flock to your post to help out with that kind of attitude and silly threats, well, as you can see, it just didn't happen.
Try being nice and seeking assistance, you might just get a better response. There's been NO personal attacks on you, I don't operate that way.

To: JSanders,
On Moto, much as you deride it,
I'm afraid that is just indicative of whole problem here, I don't think you are reading these posts. I didn't deride the Motorola. I said you'd love it, unless you consider that derision. How odd that you would. They have great devices.
Good luck.

Battery Icon with Red Diagonal Line

My phone is displaying a Battery icon with a red diagonal line. I figured the battery had finally died and ordered a new battery. When I installed the new battery it displays the same thing. I have tried the Support Q&A and unplugged from the charger, removed the battery, waited a while, reinstalled the battery and then plugged into the charger. Nothing.
I tried the same procedure but used the USB cable to try to charge through the USB in case my charger was the problem.
I have waited for a while now and the icon is still displaying.
Any help?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yep! Same issue with my 8800.
Bought a new wall charger as well as a new battery as the old one had expanded.
Let's see how it goes.

I am getting a pic of the battery with a red line around its base?.

I am getting a pic of a battery with a red line around its base. Does this mean the battery needs replacing?

It means the battery needs charging. If it doesn't charge with the wall charger and a good cable the battery needs replacing.

Why does screen show battery icon with red ring?

Why does screen show battery icon with red ring?

What does it give as a percent charge" The red band usually means the battery charge level is getting critically low and it needs to be recharged.

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

Ask and you shell receive.....lol
Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
Go look at pop download
There you'll find 3 numbered lines
Go to 1. Status
And select enable pop for all mail
Then save the settings
Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
Let me know how it works out.
I just did it and it sync within minutes.

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.
