Blackberry curve 9320 batt too low for radio use

I have had this fone since june and have constantly had probs with the battery life.its now sayin battery is too low for radio use even when there is half a white bar.keeps cutting out during calls.I've constantly got to do a battery pull!any ideas??

Hello guys,
I found the solution! I have 2 9320 and both developed this problem after 5 or 6 months. Battery too low for radio use even if nearly fully charged. I tried everything what described here- battery pulls, soft reload, deleting apps, pulling battery out with charger connected- nothing worked- just dont waste more time. The solution is easy and its not software problem! Just open your phone- if you dont know how check on youtube so you don't damage your phone and simply clean battery connector in a place where it is touching the mainboard. My bb board was black in that place- came off easily and connectors on mainbord looked like new after. I used zippo lighter fluid and clean cloth. Since then no problem on both my blackberries- never switched radio off again with battery not beeing red. I think there was not enoug power flow through this connector causing me going crazy. Now my blackberries are amaizing again! Hope it helps!

  • "Battery too low for radio use" - Curve 9320

    Since early on my curve 9320 has given me a "battery too low for radio use" warning at very random moments often times when the battery is still halfway into the white area. Sometimes this can be reset manually in the setting by turning radio back on, however this does cut into calls, messages and other activities.
    I have changed the battery recently thinking this was the cause of the issue, however this did not help. I am still getting the error...not to mention the short battery life of this device...this is very frustrating.
    Is this a common problem and if so how is it solved? Any help is appreciated!

    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!

  • Low Battery - Battery too low for Radio use - And Curve will not Charge - HELP!!!

    Need help and lost without BB.  My BB displays Low Battery.  If I try and make a call I get Battery too low for Radio use.  I have tried to charge the BB but nothing happens and still cannot make call or charge unit.  Tried charging overnight with car charger and A/C adapter.  Tried removing battery for one minute and reinstalling.
    Any ideas????

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    When you are connected to the charger, do you see the lightning bold charging symbol displayed over or next to the battery indicator on the screen of the device? If so, then let it charge a while. A battery at less than 10% charge can take an hour or more to get just 10% higher, and then the charging will move faster.
    If you are not seeing the charging indicator, then you could have a bad USB port.
    If you connect it to your PC via the USB cable, does the BlackBerry appear to connect?

  • Battery too low for Radio Use - Even on Full Charge

    Off late I have been having an issue with my BB Curve 9320, even when battery is fully charged, at the time of checking SMS, BBM Messages or Whats App Messages, the phone show up with "Battery too low for Radio Use" And put off the wireless services off the phone. Once I exit the applications the phone turn back on an continues to work as normal, untill I  launch BBM or whats app again.
    I had given the phone to the Blackberry service centre for this problem, they kept it for a week and gave it back to me today saying the problem has been fixed, however am still getting the same problem.
    My phone is still underwarranty, please suggest what needs to be done.
    Thanks!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given that you've already begun formal service for this issue, I recommend you continue with that. After all, they said it was fixed, but it's not...don't you want to challenge them on that fact?
    Good luck!

  • Too low for radio use at 50%

    my blackberry 9360 with the newest update out when at 50% battery comes up saying too low for radio use then just suddenly goes from 50% to 0 in a matter of seconds as i watch it cant down faster than anything. i tried pulling battery out when fully charged with charger in but still not working how do i fix this?

    Oh...sorry...I think I was not clear..."known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing. While rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. Plus, finding someone with an identical BB without these same problems, and trading batteries, is certainly a less expensive method for carrying out this test. Again, sorry about not being clear on that point...
    Anyway, refer:
    KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
    It is really quite impossible to predict the "normal" consumption rate for any individual user -- each person is unique, and will demand a different level of resource consumption from everyone else. To me, the key is to determine what is normal for your usage patterns...and then become concerned when things deviate from that.
    It is also always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
    Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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. 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. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
    Good luck!

  • Battery too low for radio use

    When the battery level falls below 15% on the Blackberry, the radio automatically shuts off.   Can someone tell me why you cant turn the radio back on again until the charge level is over 15% again, even if you supply external power to the device?   Also, when the radio shuts off below this level, I have found that I have to manually go back in and turn the radio back on again after the charge level is sufficient -- sometimes I forget to do this after putting the phone on the charger and I end up missing calls, SMS, etc.
    Why wont an external power source allow the radio to remain on?
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    when the charge falls below 15% the blackberry goes into survival mode, and turns off all functions not
    considered "life support" the radio being one. Unfortunately the switches/options do not automatically
    recognize the new power level (not connected) and do not reset the options. You will have to
    reotption the radio when this happens. You may want to check the age of your battery and
    replace. Here is a link about power management

  • Blackberry 9320 broken,9360 on the same route due to "battery to low for radio use" etc

    My previous blackberry 9320 ,which I can't use anymore, aswell as my 9360 that's on the same route as the previous one started out in the beginning with
    -battery to low for radio use(which I would turn back on)
    Later my memory card couldn't be recognized, after some attempts of "fixing the broken files" as the phone would say, and then "repairing failed"
    Problems got worse ,as if I allready can't use a memory card because all 3 got broken somehow,but after that it started saying "battery to low for radio use" then my battery would in a matter of seconds drain and then a message I get atleast 30 times a day "battery drained,shuttingdown handheld". It gets worse, then it says the same message ,but only this time the battery is full, because the phone must be pluged in too a charger to be able to start, and as I call it, then has to be on "life-support"(charging like 24/7). These problems seem to be activated by high radio use or just plainly to irretate a person. I'm very dissatisfied with blackberry and I seek answers. now here comes the catch, I took my previouse blackberry,the 9320, in 2 times to get the software updated and the last time they couldn't say why this is happening , aswell as try putting another(new) blackberry 9320 battery in the phone. It worked for 3 days,no kidding, and the same problems in their stages began.I fear my blackberry 9360 is on the same route and I'm dissatisfied with these products for its expensive and causing trouble. Please help me resolve this problem ???p.s both phones were newly bought since they are contract phones.

  • Speakerphone option is too low for practical use. Can this be corrected?

    I have the iPhone 2G and the speakerphone really ***** (for lack of a better term). I'd like to use it more often but even on its loudest setting its barely audible. Can this be fixed without hacking? Is the 3G significantly louder? Thanks for any insight as I love the phone but may have to switch if this can't be resolved.

    You will have to send feedback to Apple as this is a User to User forum.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    I agree that the volume is to low for practical use, and the physical aspects don't help. The speaker is one of the tiny holes in the bottom, so you need to aim the end of the iphone at your face to make the most of it.

  • My Blackberry Curve 9320 freezes to often :L

    I recently got a Blackberry Curve 9320 which I was told was the latest model and would have the least problems. However I have been witnessing many problems with the device. It repeatably freezes when on apps like pictures when im scrolling through the images. It will freeze half way between two images and then close and will not let me back on the app until I restart it by taking the battery out. Also sometimes when I edit the volume the symbol will stay frozen on my screen until I restart it. I do not understand why it is doing this and it is annoying having to keep restarting it. Can anyone let me know why it might be doing this or anything I can do to solve it? I am trying to avoid taking it back but would appreciate advice on this. Thankyou.

    I have 7.7MB isnt that quite a lot? What would that have to do with my freezing?

  • Camera on blackberry curve 9320 not working

    Hi. I am in real need of help now. This problem started 1-2 months back, but I only noticed it about 1 month back. The camera on my blackberry curve 9320 isn’t working. At first, when I opened the camera, it said that I needed to close other applications to use the camera, and I did do it, but the camera still didn’t work. Now, when I open the camera through the icon or the convenience button on the right of the device, this screen comes up. It doesn’t let me take pictures for anything, but does let me open the options. It does the same for the video camera. Please can someone help me.  I need to sell this phone to get a Blackberry Z10 but I cant sell it with a camera that doesn’t work. Please, anyone reply with a solution ASAP. Thank.  />

    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    You may also need the use of these tricks:

    KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
    http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-ho​w-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

    hello,
    I bought 3 weeks ago a BlackBerry Curve 9320 but there is dust that has gottenunder in the screen, there is more and more with time and it bothers me. My phone did not fall and I find thatit is abnormal that dust gets under the screen if the telephne have not suffered from shock.
    I am looking for a repair solution.
    Thank you for your help
    cordially

    Même problème sous l'écran de mon 9320 (coté gauche, prise USB). C'est très énervant surtout qu'il n'y a pas eu de choc et qu'il y a de plus en plus de poussière qui s'accumule. Y a-t-il une solution que l'on peut faire sois même, ou peut-on faire jouer la garantie constructeur ?
    Merci de votre réponse
    Same problem on my 9320 Blackberry Device (left side, USB plug). It's very annoying, moreover there were no bump that could cause the problem, and there are more and more dust under the screen. Is there anything I can do ? Or can I send it to repairment ?
    Thank you for answering

  • Blackberry Curve 9320 keypad and trackpad not working

    So I have a Blackberry Curve 9320 and I accidently dropped it down the toilet. Both the water damage stickers (on my battery and on the actual phone underneath the battery) are red. So I put my phone in a bowl of rice in my airing cupboard for around a day and a half to dry it out (I also tried drying it a little with my hair dryer). Anyway, I charged it overnight and when I took the battery out then put it back in, it started up and the screen was working! Of course I was really exited, thinking it would work, only to realise the trackpad and and all keys/buttons are unresponsive. Is there anything I could try to get them to work again? Or if I took it to a phone shop would they be able to do anything? :/
