Blackberry curve password issue with alt

Hi,
can any one please resolve this issue.
I had set my password in lowercase alphabets, I am not sure what went wrong that after my phone got locked I am able to enter only special character, I tried 4 time and after that I get an option of entering "blackberry", now I am stuck here.
The concern is that the alt key is enabled, I see the alt icon on the right top corner of my screen, and now when I am trying to enter alphabets its not allowing me too...
How do I go about this...???

Are you saying the ALT symbol is stuck on in the upper corner?
Leave your BlackBerry powered ON, remove the battery and replace to reboot.
Upon reboot, is the ALT icon still there?

My Blackberry Curve 8520 came with no SIM card.

My Blackberry Curve 8520 came with no SIM card. Could some expert advise me what to do now, it's with vodafone, and I don't know whether it's contact or PAYG, thanks

Is it a brand new service for you? Or did you have another phone through them previously.
If you had another one previously, take the SIM card from that and put it into your BB. Otherwise, go back to your carrier and get one.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 stuck in alt mode

My BlackBerry Curve 8520 got wet a few days ago, it's since been left to dry out with all parts removed on top of my Virgin Media box. I checked for damage today & it appears to be working fine, apart from the fact that it's stuck in alt mode.
Any suggestions on how I can get it out of alt mode? The button doesn't appear to be stuck. The 'alt' icon in the corner changes to '123' when I select the left shift button, but when deselected it changes back to alt mode.
I've done a few battery pulls, removed all third party applications & re-installed its OS.
To be able to type normally with letters I have to either hold down the 'return/back' button, 'X' 'V' or 'B' button, or the '$' button. Whilst holding these I can select whether I want 'alt' or not, but then it returns when I let go anyway.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Was using the phone just on BB messenger, holding '$' button to type letters & the alt mode went off on its own! Hope it doesn't come back now!
Solved!

Hi!
When this happened to me, I searched endlessly for a solution but I couldn't find anything that didn't involve going to a repair centre or taking my phone to pieces. I was hoping for a simple solution! I was really frustrated as my phone's relatively new and well looked after and I couldn't do a thing. After about an hour of doing everything I could, it fixed itself and I forgot about it.
Luckily, whwn it happened again I was with my boyfriend who asked me to let him have a look. I was adamant that he wouldn't be able to fix it - I'd tried everything!
When he handed it back to me, no longer stuck on Alt, I was amazed. Now every time it happens I simply press (hard) and hold the Alt button for a second or two and that fixes the problem! Amazing.
I just knew I had to post it on here to save people time, anger and money, so I created an account. Hi!

Blackberry Curve 8520 problems with Blackberry Bridge

Hi All Please help me!!!
I have a curve 8520 details & spec below. I have owned a Blackberry Playbook since Feb this year. Originally when I installed the Blackberry Bridge to my curve I managed to pair the 2 devices and I happily used this for a few months. I think an update came on my phone in App World and one day a couple of months ago I simply couldn't pair the devices. I did the usual un-install and re-install of all necessary applications but to no avail. I have searched forum after forum to try and find out what is wrong. I can see the application on my curve from Appworld and from options/applications/Ad-ons. However is is not visible on the phone in downloads or applications. I have un-installed and re installed numerous times.
Phone details
BlackBerry® 8520 Smartphone (EDGE, Wi-Fi) v5.0.0.681 (Platform 5.2.0.67)

I am hoping someone has a simple explanation!
Look forward to hearing from someone out there!

Hello campocath,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Are you able to see the BlackBerry Bridge application icon on your device home screen? If not, have you checked to see if it is hidden? You can press the menu button and select show all to unhide it. If you are able to locate it, try moving the BlackBerry Bridge application icon to the applications folder. Use this link http://blck.by/1g0TgHg to see instructions on page 197 on how to move application icons to a folder.
Let us know if that helps.
Thank you

My Blackberry Curve 8520 turns itself off, lock and get a white screen.

Whenever I'm making a connection, it starts to give strange noises during the call and ends up shutting down completely. When I try to turn it on again, it starts loading the OS, when the progress bar loads halfway, he gets the white screen and locks up completely, making it impossible to use again. The Blackberry only back to work only when connected to the battery charger. I hope someone can help me! Thanks in advance. The text can be somewhat meaningless, because I'm from Brazil and translated using Google Translator.

Hi denisssilva94,
Welcome to the Support Community!
I would suggest first testing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone with another battery to rule out any issue with the battery itself.
If you have the same issues when using another battery, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
Please test to make sure the issue has been resolved before restoring any data from your backup file.
Hope this helps.

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.

My Blackberry curve 8520 wont turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 doesnt turn on and when i try to charge it , there is just the red LED light and the screen shows up some picture which shows a red cross on top of a battery. I also tried to connect this to my computer but it doesnt respong and also try with another blackberry original battery it showing same . but when i put my battery to another blackberry phone that phone is turning on properly . please help asap.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
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 an 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. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry curve 8520 is not working/rebooting

since last week my blackberry curve 8520 is shut down and not rebooting, I have tried many time but when reboot it an error # 523 accour and set goes held, pls help me that How I can start it

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
Just select the appropriate device model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html
or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php
If JL_Cmder does not work, you can try this:
KB10144, http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10144
and this: KB20371 http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB20371

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Battery life issue and Loading icon

Hello, I have an issue with my BlackBerry Curve 8520, the problem is that it has extremely low battery life and half the time it has the loading circle thing in the middle, I first thought it was my batteries fault but after buying a new battery the loading circle thing still comes up but not as much but the battery life is still extremely low (locked or on standby whatever its called it lasts around 2-3 hours, Ive turned off my bluetooth and the problem still remains please help!

Anthony (or anyone else monitoring this thread):
So, what was the outcome of the troubleshooting session with "windycity"?
I don't have a problem with a mysterious icon; however, the anemic battery issue is exactly as windycity described: new charged-up Samsung Haven phone is on; no calls in or out; no text messages either; however, in slightly less than 24 hours, the Haven goes from having a fully-charged battery to one that's dead, or just about.
Like windycity, I bought this simple phone for my father, who just wants a phone he can make voice calls with, nothing more.
However, the sad peformance of this phone+battery has not helped me in my campaign to at least get him to dip his toes into the digital stream -- in fact, he wants me to take it back and cancel the plan!
I'd really rather not do that, but we'll need some kind of resolution to this problem first.

Help blackberry curve 8520 screen gone white with funny icon and saying reload softwear 552

hello my blackberry curve 8520 screen has gone white and funny circle icon has come up with reload softwear 552 at bottum of screen what do i do as it wont do anything ive tried battry pull and turned back on and it still brings that up
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
Good luck..!!!

Blackberry Curve 8520 (o2) - No data plan - Using browser purely with wifi?

I have just got a Blackberry curve 8520. I'm on o2.
I haven't got a plan that includes data, so was wondering how I can use my Blackberry internet over wifi.
Under mobile network settings I've disabled data services, so I don't get charged for data without me knowing.
I've also changed my browser configuration to Hotspot browser, and its found my Wireless network okay and saved.
However when I go on browser, It just keeps coming up with unable to connect to the internet.
Am I doing anything wrong?

I dont have a data plan (work phone) and can get internet through wifi, and have done so without any issue.
check 'Menu', 'Manage Connections', Wifi is ticked, with network name in Green
check your using Hotspot Browser, (you did say this, I know). So it definately says Hotspot Browser at the top of the browser when open rather O2 Active (or similar)
I'll keep looking to see if there are any settings I can find which could help
