BBM stopped working Q10.

I am having a really infuriating problem with BBM.
It is receiving BBM's, but I cannot send them or reply, (they just sit there in my hub queue, with a grey tick against them). It's like been stuck in cyber-hell.
I have tried everything and have done security wipes, with sim/sd card in and out. No difference.
I've had BB's for years and this is just frustrating the hell out of me......all I want is my BBM back.......
Help! (Please)...   :-)

  • BBM stopped working

    My wife has a Torch 9800. A few days ago she got a new SIM. Everything worked fine for a day, then her BBM stopped working. It wont send/receive. Every other BB service is working fine as are all other elements. I called the provider, they checked everything from their end and it seemed fine. I have done dozens of battery pulls, uninstalled BBM and reinstalled, sent service books......... nothing has worked.......ANY IDEAS?

    it is related to the new service provider read the thread below

  • BBM stopped working and keeps trying to restore itself

    My BBM has suddenly stopped working. When I click on a BBM from the Hub I get an option to Setup or Cancel. When I click setup it tries to restore but it just hangs. I've waited over an hour multiple times.
    I've tried to reboot and done a battery pull but the same thing happens.
    When I try to open the BBM App itself it goes straight to restore and then hangs.

    There many ppl complaining of this issue today, please check this thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Z10/blackberry-z10-restoring-your-bbm-information/...

    I hadn't updated or backed up my BlackBerry torch 9800 or my 16GB playbook.  Started by taking updates on my phone, all went well. Then I backed up my playbook.

  • Email service blocked and BBM not working on BB torch slide

    HI.
    I have real issues with my phone. First, my BBM stopped working, so I thought it was the bbm rim server because all other applications were working(whatsapp, email, facebook etch). Then I stopped receiving emails. Again, I didn't take it too seriously until I tried to send emails and a red cross appears with a message saying "service Blocked".
    At this point, it is strange cause my browser works and my facebook. What really got me pissed was that my whatsapp stopped working as well, and I'm no longer on my mobile service plan, I'm using wifi at home. I was two seconds away from resetting my phone when it occured to me that it might not solve the problem.
    I have looked at other possible solotions online and my phone does not have the advance system settings or the enterprise activation menu. I don't know what to do, HELP!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Some clarification is needed...I cannot tell exactly if your device is a BES-enabled one or not...if it is, then stop now and seek support from your BES admins as they control, well, everything.
    If you are not BES, then with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. 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.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    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.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Then again...

    If, by that, you mean that you have allowed your mobile service plan to expire, then that could explain everything. There are many services on BBs that are proprietary, and access to them requires subscription to an adequate data plan from your provider, regardless of the channel you use them through. Even if you only use WiFi as your connection pathway, you still must have an adequate data plan from your carrier in order to do many things, including email and BBM.
    So if that's the case, then it explains everything...sometimes, when a data plan is allowed to expire, it takes the carrier a few days (sometimes longer) to "catch up" and shut things down that you are not paying them for.
    Good luck!

  • Q10 keyboard stopped working after 10.3.1 update

    Hi everyone. I did the 10.3.1 update on my Porsche 9982 today and all is great. I did the update on my wife's Q10 and the keyboard stopped working. I have pulled the battery a couple times but still not working. I dont even know if I can restore to factury as I am not able to type 'blackberry' in the screen to do the reload. Any suggestions? This was a Q10 that was used for beta testing but is the newer model. Help

    I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • BBM & Email stop working every morning...​.

    Every morning my BBM, Whatsapp, Email and Facebook notifications stop working....
    BBM has a red clock when sending and doesn't receive and the others don't receive or send anything...
    The only fix has been pulling the battery or doing a soft reset with ctrl+alt+delete.
    I have tried reinstalling the apps, reinstalling the OS (don't know how to format and reinstall tho)
    Can anyone give me some solutions? Does it sound like a hardware problem?
    My phone is a brand new out the box Blackberry Curve 8520, its got an etisalat sim card as I live in Dubai if that matters. 

    Cat and Maximo,
    > Let me try to get that straight. Your BM does static NAT for your
    > mailserver (and other boxes), and suddenly UDP and ICMP from these
    > natted servers through the BM still works, but TCP doesn't?
    Yes. That's what it looks like.
    > Can you still do TCP *to* the BM from the natted devices when that
    > happens? As you say your proxy continues to work, it sounds as if TCP in
    > general on the server continues to work, but does it also work from the

    Everyone browsing via BM proxy continues with no interuption.
    The mail server can telnet to any other server on the internal LAN but
    nothing past BM. DNS continues working for the mail server too.
    > If really nothing changed, this might be a (succesful) DOS attack of
    > some sort. I wonder if a LAN trace could reveal anything of interest.
    Do you mean port scan the BM server?
    I know that "nothing has changed" is a loaded statement. The only thing
    (that I know of) that has changed relatively recently is the addition of
    the Squid server. It has been running behind the BM server for about 3
    weeks. Recently I added a filter exception allowing the Squid server to
    access higher ports (dyn/tcp).
    But, as I noted before, I think removing ipflt should eliminate any
    doubts there. Is there some way Squid could be corrupting something there?
    The problem was compounded this morning (saturday). I came in today so I
    would have the network essentially to myself. But, to my surprise,
    everything was ok.
    Cat, You're right. This server is no spring chicken. It is an IBM
    Netfinity 3000. Its probably 3 or 4 years old (maybe more). I will think
    about this as a hardware problem but I just wish the thing would die
    altogether and get it over with. :o)
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • My internet and bbm has stopped working !?

    hi my bbm and internet has stopped working since about 5 o`clock yesterday , when i click on the internet "error " and i can click on the bbm but the recent updates has gone and i will try and send a message and it has the red clock next to it.

    Are you receiving or able to send email?
    ashlee, 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 reboot give it a few minutes and see if your data starts working again.

  • Q10 synching to my computer has stopped working -why

    can anyone suggest why something that was working has just suddenly stopped? Neither calendar nor contacts are now being applied to the Q10. My PC is a Dell machine running windows 7 and everthing was fine one day and then not the next day. Backing up the Q10 to the PC still seems to be working perfectly well. Hoping someone has some ideas?

    Did you make any changes to your computer the day before or on the day it stopped working, such as Windows updates, add a new program, delete a program, run a scan.
    What is your anti virus program, do you use any registry editors, or other security programs.
    Can you think of some other info that might help diagnose the issue. Which browser do you use as the Default.

  • My bbm suddenly stopped working

    I turned my phone off when I got to school yesterday and then turned it back on once I had finished school, I then went onto bbm and all of my recent updates were from the morning, I gave it 10 minutes to warm up but my friends bbm was working fine. I have restarted it 3 times and it still doesn't work?!

    Hi HIvp
    Text message is a part of Voice level services not Data Services. whenever we have any problem with data services we can try those steps in a sequence :
    1- Register your Handheld .
    KB00510 : How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Wait till a Registration messages comes in your message box.
    2- Resend your Service Book
    KB02830 : Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    ( Wait till a Registration Message comes in your message box for each email that you have configured on your device )
    3-  Then perform a battery pull restart like this while the device is powered On remove your battery wait for a min. then reinsert it back
    You have to receive those registration message in your message box. Or you have call your Carrier or wireless service provider to know if they were having any problem with their network. as you're having problem with only your data services.

  • Desktop Manager 6.0 stopped working

    For no apparent reason my DM version 6 stopped working yesterday.  I have de- and re-installed it and rebooted with no improvement.  When the application opens I see a partially loaded screen.  Very limited text and drop down arrows that do nothing, no menu options.  I do not get an error message.  I'm using Windows 7 and nothing about my laptop has changed since the last time I used the DM, except for I installed SKYPE. 
    What can I do if a re-install did not take care of it?

  • PLEASE HELP! BB CURVE 8520 EMAIL AND BBM NOT WORKING! :(

    Ok, i would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my BB curve. i've tried the shop i bought it from and many other people and all ive been told is to send it away to be fixed. i really need my phone every day and dont want to send it away so im trying for a quick fix kind of thing, thanks to anyone who replies.
    My blackberry was bought in October 2010 so its not old, from an o2 shop, it was working completely fine and great up until about 1 month ago.
    i was trying to get onto the internet and a message came up saying 'unable to connect to server please contact service provider or try again later' or something similar to that.
    from this appeared my phone is no longer receiving or sending any emails from or to anyone at all and my blackberry messenger has also stopped working.
    i can open my email and bbm but when i open my bbm i type out my message and hit send and the message sends with a tick to show this but the little D for delivered never appears and my friends are not receiving my messages and im not receiving their messages either.
    my phone says its connected to the internet and wifi, at the top of the screen the signal is full and it says EDGE most of the time or sometimes GPRS. i dont know what's wrong but its so annoying
    i know this message is long but i want to give all details so someone can help me properly, ive tred resetting pulling the battery out, deleting and resetting up my wifi and all that, can anyone please help me? thanks so much if you can! its much appreciated! i can upload an image of what my screen says if it helps just let me know!

    Hi, I'd recommend checking to make sure that you still have a Blackberry Data Plan by contacting your Network Provider (i.e O2)

  • Curve 8520- email and bbm not working

    Hello,
    Over a month ago i started having this problem with my blackberry curve. My bbm wont send or receive messages, at all. So I deleted my only contact which was hubby, and tried to add him again, but the request is just pending and he hasnt gotten a message to accept me at all. Soon after my emails stopped working as well as facebook. I could not send nor receive emails. I might also mention that I have a wi-fi conection working, i can use the browser and all, but the wi=fi symbol doesnt light up, it just stays dull.
    So i deleted the email account I had on the phone and took it into the vodafone shop I got it in. I received the phone back this week with a latter telling me they could not find these problems and that the phone had been updated and was fixed.
    It was not. So i pluged it into my laptop, tried updating and all that, also brought £10 credit incase that was the problem. Still nothing. Emails, BBM and facebook are things I use often on my phone and I would love it if anyone had any suggestions, maybe I have my settings wrong?

    Hello Amy and welcome to the Community!
    Its pretty hard to understand how you lost the Blackberry Service. Kindly contact your Carrier and check if your BIS is active. You should also check if your data coverage is ON and the wireless service indicator appear as GPRS/EDGE. These indicators appear in uppercase if the BIS is up and goes back to lowercase when you lose the service.
