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, 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.
Good luck and let us know!

  • My Blackberry Z10 wont open after heating up

    Hi Please Help me. I charge my battery for almost an hour and i saw the screen with battery charging icon that look like this.   I notice that my battery was freaking hot, so i decided to unpluged it. After i unpluged it i was trying to open it but the screen is still black and it keeps on heating up. So i decided to remove the battery for a while. After 15 minutes i put in the battery but it wont open and i notice that the + and - (not the battery but in the phone) keeps on heating after 10 secs of putting the battery. Please help me.  

    My world will not load, I've tried re booting and done a security swipe and still won't open. Any ideas welcome as I have no apps at the moment

  • Blackberry desktop wont open

    hi guys i recently downloaded the blackberry desktop software to upgrade my curve 9300 but everytime i try to open it it says "blackberry desktop software has encountered a error and must close. we are sorry for the inconvenience". i tried to download it throuogh the disk that came with my phone, i then tried downloading it again but repairing the programme and still no look
    when i opened the error report there was no error message just just info about the software
    my pc is quite old and runs on xp so any help will be greatly appreciated, 
    will you also dumb it down a little for me as i am USELESS with computers lol

    Delete the program from the computer and check the box that says all user settings, restart your computer.  Go to
    https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB06...
    to download the new version of software.  Make sure to save it first.  Then run it and it should fix it.

  • My BlackBerry world wont open on my q10, I've done a. Security swipe and nothing helped there anyone

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    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 (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to arrive2) RebootPre-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 contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry 8120 wont open a lot of webpages yet opens others

    Hi
    Firstly i am a newbie to this site as i have owned a Blackberry for the past 24 hours or so, its a second hand one bought from ebay and im after some help.
    The blackberry came unlocked so i am using my Virgin Mobile simcard with the phone.
    When i access the internet via the browser and select sites such as gmail, facebook & twitter on the log in screens they never open. i always just get the message unable to open site.
    I have noticed they often start with Https if this is of any importance. also when i open the browser it automatically opens to the T-Mobile tzones site first. could i change this to something like google?
    thank you very much for your help

    Do you have a BB data plan? 
    Not all data plans are the same and the BB data plan is specific to BBs, as many websites require that you connect through the BB servers, which cannot be done without a BB data plan. 

  • Blackberry 8520 wont turn on

    My batter deid yesterday and i was unable to charge my phone for the whole night. I got a usb port and started to charge it on my laptop this morning. But only the LED red light comes on and it has been charging for over 2 hours now. I keep doing a battery pull but the bb still wont turn on. Please help me?

    Hey Stacyb22,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    I'd suggest trying a different battery in the BlackBerry and if it still doesn't respond, contact your network service provider for exchange/repair options.

  • Blackberry 8520 wont charge

    I have an 8520 and I just came home from the hospital.  I have upgraded to the 5.0.0.822 op sys the phone battery died before I was able to get home.  When I go to plug it in after getting home it will not charge or even lite up when plugged in.  I have tried plugging it into the wall and the computer but I get the same reaction from both and that is nothing.  I have tried to pull the battery and it is still the same.  Does anybody have any suggestions for this? I am on the at&t network also.

    Solid green? I'm not at all sure what that means. Try this...while still hooked up to the charger, remove the battery. Wait 5 minutes and then put the battery back in.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry 8520 wont sync previous dates in calander

    Hi there,
    It is the 23rd June as I post this. I dont know why an appointment I entered on the Blackberry last week  wont sync in the usual way to outlook. The appointment was on 21st June. Also an appointment I entered on Outlook calander last week, also for the 21st June wont sunc on the Blackberry. Would be grateful for any help. I dont appear to have had this problem before. The sync was attempted this afternoon.
    Mikey

    Hello,
    This occurs because a few settings may be off on your BlackBerry smartphone and on your BlackBerry Desktop Software. Have a look at this article http://bbry.lv/jQ9ha2 to make sure appointments are set to be kept forever and then navigate to BlackBerry Desktop Software and re configure the synchronization settings http://bbry.lv/jxCCRQ Make sure in step 7 you select to Transfer all scheduled items.
    Thank you

  • Opening pdf file in Blackberry 8520 curve

    I am unable to open pdf file in my blackberry 8520 curve. Can anyone help me in this regards. The mobile does't have any pdf reader pre installed. Do we need to install software, if so please send me the link to download or the software itself.
    Thanks

    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.

  • MY blackberry curve 8520 wont work ) :

    Hi. 
    I found an issue with my blackberry 8520 a day ago.
    I texted my friend, Before going to sleep The letter key " A " was working perfectly fine.
     I woke up the next morning, and i went to put my phone on charge because it was on 11% 
    When i came back, a friend had left me a message so i was going to reply him. I was going to reply  "ya" 
    and i was stuck with " Y " i couldn't type A at all. With this, my phone would auto lock itself, and i had to press any key till any box would prompt and allow me to continue. I couldn't answer any calls as well. So i did a restart and i couldn't switch back my phone! I then took off the battery and tried it again Nothing helped after that reboot. I have got no idea how i should fix this. 

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath, gym locker, sweaty face or pocket can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
    Does this sound likely?
    It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    *Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    *On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    *On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • My BlackBerry Curve 8520 Wont Turn on With No LED

    PLEASE HELP ME
    Thank You 
    Nathan

    Hey hakmilton,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest contacting your network service provider to look at possible repair and exchange options.  Since you tried a new battery and the LED won't come on, we can not even try reloading the device software.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

    We have no way to know what you have read, so can't actually answer that question. But...
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper 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.

  • 8520 wont find orange network

    8520 wont find orange network
    ive done all i need to if i do a network search orange dont come up it was working before

    If you simply can't find the network, that's a problem you should take up with Orange, or try from a different geographic area. 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.
    Right now, there is a known data issue in Europe where you might be located, causing an outage of BlackBerry data for email, messenger, etc., but if you can't get a signal, that's a totally different issue.
