Blackberry curve 9360 hang on playing audio and video and then automatic shut down

Welcome to the BlackBerry Support forums!   Try and pull the battery to reset the devicem first before we move on to other diagnostic steps. If the battery pull does not work, you may need to reload the software through BlackBerry Desktop software. Here is a link to download BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows.https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22&dl=A2C0D61EB187AB3AFD247A852FAD3647 Here is instructions on how to reload your device software.http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?externalId=KB11320&sliceId=2&docType=kc&noCount=true Keep me posted on your issue. Good Luck!

Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • Blackberry Curve 9360 Frequently shutting down at random

    Having some real issues with my blackberry shutting down at random. Somtimes in my pocket, somtimes when its just sitting on a table, often several times in a day. No, before you ask, its not getting unlocked and shut down by accident. Ensured its not just a low battery issue, as it happens even when it has been fully charged for several hours. When it eventually boots back up, it seems to have forgotten the time and date. It is, very inconvieniant. I am however by no means an expert when it comes to phones, as this is the first one i've had that does anything more than call and text, so any help or advice anyone could give would be greatly appriciated. 
    Random Details: 
    Provider: Orange
    Model: Curve 9360
    OS System: Had some real issues finding this, ill write down what i found (though its probably incorrect). 7.0 bundle 1825 (v7.0.0.400). 
    The only app i've downloaded onto it is sky news, and the battery has been replaced and played with many different ways to no improvement. 

    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.
    If your BB remains under warranty, it may be just as well to cease any further diagnostics and seek support from your warranty service provider.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Blackberry curve 9360 shuts down even when full battery

    Can anyone help me pls? My bb curve 9360 phone shuts down even when almost full battery. Then when i try to reboot by taking in and out the battery, it shuts down again many times. i changed my sim card recently cos the old one spoilt. the battery drains very fast. i deleted many apps. i reduce backlighting to min. i reduce time for the screen to off. i off location services. i increased the interval for updates for my apps till very long. i noticed when it is connecting to 3G network it shuts down. and keeps shutting down upon reboot. battery runs out very fast. but can also shutdown on full battery. it also auto shuts down when i am using apps or connected to internet. Can pls help to resolve? Thanks. appreciate.

    The on-device battery meter is 'off sync' with the actual battery charge. There are a couple of ways you can try to repair this...
    Leave the device to charge an hours or so, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. Watch over the next couple of days to see if the charge and the battery use is in sync.
    Roughly every 30 charges, deliberately discharge your battery to 10-15%, and fully charge to 100% afterwards. This will help maintain the accuracy of the “fuel gauge” on the device (your battery meter or scale).
    Don’t drain your battery every day to 10-20% of its charge. You can actually expect battery problems by draining the battery. Again, to repeat, top-off your charge during the day whenever convenient – even ten minutes in the car or at your desk will give you an extra 20-25% charge.

  • Blackberry Curve 9360: How to fully turn off?

    I have recently got a Blackberry Curve 9360 running on O2 UK and the latest update of OS 7 and love it, but want to turn it off over night without setting times for it to turn off and on. I have looked at many posts on forums and want to fully turn it off, as when i click the 'power off' icon or hold down the end key, it just goes into standby. when i set an alarm, it gives me the option to 'turn off' or 'full power off' but they both do the same thing. a battery pull does NOT work as it just turns on again straight away. Help me please! 
    thanks, 

    Ok, I've read what you said.
    If you press and HOLD the "end call" key, far right of the trackpad, hold it for about 5-6 seconds, you should get TWO choices, power off and Full power off.

  • Update problems with blackberry curve 9360

    I need help, I downloaded the latest software update for my blackberry curve 9360, during installation the freezes at 9%, I've looked everywhere for the answer to fix... I've tried safe mode but it doesn't let me select the 'OK' option, I downloaded the bb desktop software where it can find my phone but down the bottom right corner it just says connecting, would really appreciate the help

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!

    There are two methods of recovery for you to try:
    One:
    Open Blackberry Desktop Software & Connect your device with PC using USB cable, without inserting battery.
    You will get three option Retry, Update Or Cancel, then click on update.
    Once it is to the stage of the update "initializing handheld", then insert battery.
    If this does not work, and you remain stuck on the backing up the Social Feeds database, go to the second method below.
    Secondly:
    Start your BlackBerry in Safe mode.  Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Modehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
    Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow your handheld to connect. If you are prompted to upgrade, cancel the upgrade for later.
    IF you cannot connect or your Desktop Software does not recognize your device while in Safe Mode, please follow the directions here to force the detect:  Article ID: KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
    Go to Device > delete > SELECT DATA > select to delete both the Social Feeds and Smart Card databases, and follow the remaining prompts to complete it. 
    Now, you can return and click to upgrade the device through the Desktop Manager, or reboot the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue the over the air upgrade.

  • Can't connect my blackberry curve 9360 to my internet home router

    hey everyone, so I have a blackberry curve 9360 and I wanted to connect my blackberry to my home router while I'm at home, but away from the computer, so I did this:
    -I went to Manage Connections
    -I went to Wi-Fi Network
    -My network at home, which is my saved network, shows up and I click on it
    -instead of asking for a passcode even though it shows that my home internet is locked, it immediately starts trying to connect to my internet, and then says "Failed to authenticate against the network"
    Since this happens ALL THE TIME, I went to "other ways to connect", then "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" and I see that the two options are "Press button on router" or "Enter PIN into router."
    So I clicked the first choice and it tells me to press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on my wireless router or its administration screen. That will probably get my internet working on my Blackberry, but I have no idea what this is asking
    Someone please help meee!

    1. Delete the saved home WiFi network from your BlackBerry saved WiFi profiles.
    2. 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.
    3. Reboot your WiFi router (unplug the incoming internet cable and the power input for a minute, reinsert both and let it the router restart.
    4. On your BlackBerry, return the WiFi setup and select your home router name when it sees it. If you asked again for the "Press button on router" or "Enter PIN into router." methods, click your escape key once and you should go back to be able enter the password for your router.
    good luck.

    I rented the movie Chronicle and it show it playing on my comp, but no audio or video, just the timer counting down, what should I do?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.
