Blackberry 8520 lock key

Hello. I have just discovered a problem with the 'lock' key. When I press it , I just get my contacts information and it doesn't lock the keys. I have tried all ways to correct this, including re-booting several times. I have not done anything different with the phone, but it started doing it a couple of days ago. The phone is probably about 4 or 5 years old now. Is it the end of the line, or is there some method of sorting it. Can anyone please help?
Best Regards
Andy

Yep Andy.... I think it's "Hand in Pocket" time matey. Locking my 8520 (1st BB I had) became almost an obsession of mine back in the day. And you're right there is NO other way to lock the device.... Genius!
Don't despair though.... I'm assuming you're UK based. If so, then a trip to any Cash Converters/Generators store will usually result in an upgraded device for minimum wedge. Got my daughter a late model curve for £40 after getting them to knock £15 off for the new case it would need. Only last week got my lad a BB Torch for £60 from X-Change and "She who must be obeyed!" a 9700 Bold for £25 from a bloke called "John" down my local boozer.
Come on son.... Update your date and time manually..... It's almost 2015 Bro..........

Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead. Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread.
I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
Thanks very much

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
(Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If that's not it try the following:
Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
I would suggest logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
resolved.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,

Lock key

Hello,
I'm a total dinosaur when it comes to phones and have just swapped my ancient 2004 samsung for a blackberry curve 9320. I managed to configure it last night but now I've left ot overnight, I can't even find the lock key. Please could someone tell me where it is? I know what my password is, I just can't seem to get to that screen.
Many thanks,
Rachel

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
In what condition is your BB now? Locked or unlocked? I cannot tell from your post. If unlocked, there should be an icon on your homescreen (or perhaps a sub-folder from the homescreen) that will activate the password locking function, and lock your BB. If your BB is locked, pressing any key should pop up the prompt for you to enter the password and unlock your BB.
Perhaps I do not understand your situation correctly? If so, please elaborate and we'll see if we can guide you in the proper direction.
Thanks and let us know!

Problem that starts with *apparent* sticking caps lock key

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (two weeks outside of AppleCare, of course!). Last night, it appeared the caps lock key was sticking. It would type in all caps even when I hit the button and the green indicator light went off. Moments later, I noticed that the option that shows you all the windows on the same screen was suddenly going very, very slow. I tried to restart but it started in safe mode - twice. It finally started correctly on the third or fourth reboot. I hoped it was a fluke.
Unfortunately it's happening again and rebooting doesn't seem to fix it - I can't put in my password to login because it thinks I'm typing in all caps.
Any ideas, please? Thanks.

This may enter the Apple Hall of Fame for stupid posts. I spent a couple hours last night restarting the computer, trying restore etc....and really doing anything I could from clinton's link in order to identify the problem. I'd even called our local store to let them know I would be there first thing in the morning (I'm boarding a plane in a few minutes and really needed my laptop for this trip).
So after doing all of those things + removing the caps lock key to see if it was somehow manually stuck, I go the store this morning. Virtual panic. I needed a presentation off the laptop for a workshop tomorrow and I hadn't backed up since I created it...
I enter the store, I begin to explain the situation in detail, I open up the laptop....
And the guy at the store says "Did you notice your shift key is stuck down?". Why No, I hadn't noticed that! With a tiny wiggle and a tap, that key popped back into place and the computer worked fine. The Safe Mode was happening because the shift key was down.

Not able to use facebook on my blackberry 8520.

Still no revert received regarding my earlier post. Not able to use facebook on my blackberry 8520.

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

You don't.
If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

Hi,
What's the type of your computer? Desktop or Laptop? Have you tried to use other keyboard to test this problem.
As In my opinion, Since it shows password input error, it should not Bitlocker encrypt problem. Maybe system couldn't identify the character you typed, maybe it is keyboard or its driver problem. It would be better to change another keyboard to check this
problem for test.

6290 how lock keys in external Display

Hi All,
Could you please advice me on how to lock keys in external display?
What Nokia suggested in the manual does not work not either for internal keyboard.
current firmware is: V 03.03 /09-03-07.RM-176
Thanking you in advance

Wow, you got really bunk advice from both Viewsonic and Apple. First off, Viewsonic are wrong. The driver has to come from them, not Apple. Furthermore, it has to be a plug-and-display driver, namely the driver that comes pre-loaded into ROM within the monitor. It sounds like Viewsonic don't have a correct one. This can be confirmed using SwitchRes X.
Second, Apple is way off base to say you can overheat your video card using SRX. What rubbish. The only potential damage to be done with a program like SRX would be to damage the scan circuit in a really old CRT computer monitor or television. There is zero risk with modern, digital displays.
If you install SRX, click on the "Export DDC" button and it will make a human readable text file out of the display driver (EDID) that is inside the Viewsonic. No doubt you will see that there is no mention of 1440 x 900 in the driver. Email it to Viewsonic's tech support and ask them why their EDID doesn't contain the native resolution for the monitor. Then get your money back. Either that or use SRX to configure the missing timing that should have been there in the first place.

Opening pdf file in Blackberry 8520 curve

PDF files can be easily viewed as an attachment to an email.
If you are wanting to view a PDF file downloaded to your Media Card, you will need a third party application, such as PDFtoGO, BeamReader or Repligo. Google will find any of those three for you.
Good luck.
