Blackberry curve 8520, please help!

Took my blackberry back to shop, have had it 6 months, First it kept loosing it's charge, then the speaker went, couldn't hear properly, then to end it all the scroll wouldn't work all the time. They sent it off 4 a repair then got told it's unrepairable due to water damage which it has not got wet to my knowlegde, ( is there any way of telling if it's water damaged), they are also saying there is damage to inside of the phone (a dent) by the memory card slot which i can't see unless taken apart. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to take it apart and is easy to put back ok or would they be able to tell i've done this before i take it back again due to me being unsatisfied. I haven't got insurance due to not being asked when i purchased the phone 4 my daughter 4 christmas. I'm new to buying this type of phone, give me the basic ones any day.

Hi Olistreet,
Battery pull Restart is recommended for software and also hardware as an first step to sort out any issue but if it fails then you can jump to other conclusions. as you said you heard a sound so please check your profile managment to make sure vibration mode is not on.

Annoying problem with CURVE 8520, please help !!!

My blackberry Curve 8520 connect to the mobile internet (not the BB service ) automatically everyday without me logging on any application or browser or making any updates.
I tried installing a new software, formating the phone, removing all the aplication and restoring the factory settings and all of them did not work and the same problem PRESISTS.
I contacted my provider customer service and they said that they can not know what exactly connects to the internet
Does anyone have a clue what may be this annoying OPTION that makes the connect to the internet without any notification?
I appreciate you help !
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Give it a little time to resyncronize all your contacts, etc. Also reboot the device by removing the battery. The older versions are not made available.

I just got a Blackberry Curve 8350i and I'm trying to figure out how to stop sending the text message I'm replying to with my reply. If anyone could tell me how to fix this I'd greatly appreciate it.

You aren't, actually.
The initial messsage is ONLY there for your reference, it is not sending.

Blackberry Curve 9360 Please Help..

I've had my curve under 3 months and last night it started freezing then rebooting, it done this over and over on a loop.. In the morning I tried reinstalling the software and also restoring the phone to factory settings both through the blackberry desktop software, when I now turn on my phone the intro message comes up which asks for you to accept the terms, but now it wont let me scroll down to accept, although the click on my scroller works.. Any idea's on what is wrong and how I can fix it ? Thank you

It sounds like something may be wrong with the trackpad. Since you've had the device for such a short period of time I would contact your carrier for a warranty replacement.

Crashed Curve 8520 Please help??

My daughter tried downloading multiple apps at the same time and the device froze, very very slow on the main menu. I have tried pulling the battery and alt, caps and del. Eventually starts with LOCK symbol bottom right of screen, The volume has a gold star next to it and the signal icon has an x next to it. I can only charge via USB and device will not let me do anything not even option for password. Will also not recognise device via USB. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks in advance...

Download the latest Blackberry Desktop Software to your desktop and go to your wireless vendors sight and download latest bbupgrade for your phone model i.e. www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade. Follow the instructions should get you up and running again.

HELP PLEASE! Blackberry curve 8520 - keep getting stuck on "white screen"

Do you have a media card installed? If so, remove the battery while the phone is powered on, remove the media card (leave it out), then reinsert the battery and let the phone fully reboot. See if that makes a difference or not.

Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?
Solved!

I need help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520

I nee d help, I cant updat my blackberry curve 8520 everytime i go here in blackberry site and check for update my phone it says try again.. and no updates for your software, how is that? I have v4.6 please help meee

You do, for sure, have your BB data plan active and are able to get email, etc.?
That is required for updating to OS 5.0.
If the OS you downloaded is not specifically for the carrier that is branded on the device you will need to install the OS to the computer and then when you're done, delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader.
Then after you delete that, in that same apploader folder, is a file called Loader.exe. Double click that to install the OS to your device.

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..!!!
Regards,
Mayank
