Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given your description, I'd deduce low/poor signal from your mobile service provider. Digital devices modulate their power consumption depending on the strength of signal they receive from the carrier tower. Lower signal strength/quality, higher battery drain. To firmly check that, you need to contact your mobile service provider as it's there network that is the cause. It is possible that they have some problems in the areas you are in.
You could also attempt to boot into Safe Mode, so as to suppress all 3rd party apps from auto-launching (even if you don't see them in the AppSwitcher ribbon, they can be running):
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, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then 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.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

Blackberry Curve 9220 - A disgusting Model....

I have seen a lot of Users of 9220 posting message with heating & hanging issue with BB9220. I would like to add to that -
I was excited to have bought the newly launched Blackberry Curve 9220, however was least bothered to encounter what was in store for me during the coming days. The nightmare started the very next day when i could feel my BB Device heating up automatically in standby and the battery draining within 3-4 hrs of full charge. If this was not enough, my 1 day old device started to hang on every other call where i couldnt pick the incoming call and had to remove the battery everytime this happened.
I thought this was a minor issue and would rectify within a day or two. But to my dismay this started increasing as time passed by.....and i was completely frustrated within 10 days of my device purchase.
I rushed to Redington Office @ Cunnigham Road and they kept my device for 1 day for issue verification. I demanded a DOA certificate so that i could get another 9220 device from the same dealer (No other choice).
Question is -"Is RIM working on a solution to this...Wasnt this model tested before release to India Market. Is RIM considering returining our hard earned money which we wasted in purchasing this disgusting model...which failed to deliver what it committed in those advertisement - "Long Battery Life", "Great User experience"....etc
If RIM is listening please answer.....

Hello,
Just to set your expectations, these forums are a user-to-user community of volunteers who attempt to help out other kind souls to the best of their abilities. It is not to be considered a user-to/from-RIM formal channel of communication. Sometimes RIM actually does participate here, but that must be considered quite rare indeed. Hopefully your message will at least be read by someone of authority, but I would not expect any formal response.
Good luck!

Issue with Blackberry Curve 9220

Hi,
I have a problem with the blackberry curve 9220 joy stick or laser (do not know what to call it exactly - phone terminology). I could see the laser light while switching the phone ON and then later it disappears. Due to this I'm unable to navigate the screen through the joy stick. This is becoming very difficult to make phone calls nor for any usage per say. Is there something wrong and needs an urgent attention?
+ I agree about 3 months ago the phone fell into a mug of water and after a day it worked with no problem till date.. Need your help and insights to see if I can put the phone to sleep and buy another one.....
I really love this phone and wanted some solution to make it work.
Need help
Thank you

Up until that point, I thought that I would have useful advice for you...but that information changed everything. There were steps to try ("the rice trick"), but they needed to be done 3 months ago...too late now. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing those processes reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later (which sounds like your situation). And everything in between.
Good luck!

BB Curve 9220 not reading the memory card

Hello,
I have a Blackberry Curve 9220
v7.1.0.746 , Platform 9.50.0.80
1 week ago I was using this phone and that time i didnt have a memory card in this device. I opened wechat and it showed either to insert memory card or to disable usb mass storage in this device. I didnt have a memory card that time, so, i tried todisable the usb mass storage and I did that.
Today, I inserted a memory card in this device, it shows that "Media Card is presently not inserted in this device"
When I searched the internet I got some solutions. They showed that to enable mass storage mode and check media card support on.
I turned Media Support set to ON.
I have made sure that the media card is formatted and inserted properly.
BUT
When i pressed the option (BB Logo key) button , it didnt show the option to enable usb mass storage. It just showed these options : "Switch app" ,"Select Text" , "Save" , "Help" , "Close".
There is no option to enable usb mass storage and it is not reading the memory card
Please tell me what to do !
Thankyou

Hi Manabb04
Enable or disable USB mass storage mode
If you connect your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer using a USB cable but does not appear as a drive on your computer, you may need to activate the USB mass storage.
On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
Click Device> Storage.
Press  > Enable USB mass storage.
If necessary, type the password for the smartphone.
Your smartphone appears as a drive on your computer.
To disable USB mass storage mode, press  > Disconnect.

Contact Display problem in my BB Curve 9220

Hello guys..
I recently bought a BB curve 9220. When someone call me at that time caller name not display (Caller Name already added in my contact) only caller number displayed.
In short sometimes Caller name display and sometimes not display.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There could be any one of four solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your Country Code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your local area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
OS5 devices: Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
OS6 devices: Homescreen > Options > Security > Encryption > UNcheck the box next to Encrypt.
4. Go to Options on your device > Security Options > Encryption > Include contacts set to "No"

BB Curve 9220 Issue

Hi,
I am using BB curve 9220, i bought it in Aug 2012 and it is still under in warranty period. I am facing extreme fristating issue with this handset/model. Its getting automatic switched off while talking or while chatting, and this is very irritating.i visited authorized service center 6 times. But they only upgrade the version, but still its getting switched off. and i have not got any solution till now. If this is the service standard of your brad so its shame,we are using 37 BB handsets in our company.and personally i am using 3 handsets my own,
if i will not get any solution so i will be force to change the entire phones to other company's handsets in my company.
Looking for prompt response,
Regards,
Anil

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
First off...refer to this information posted at the top of every page of this site:
There will be no official answers here, as this is not a channel for any formal support.
I recommend an OS reload as a starting point...
Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. 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.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
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. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to 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
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
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-how-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:

Hi VirajR
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
If you have any media card on your device then remove it and see if that helps.Otherwise Perform a Clean Reload of your device Software to rule out any software issue :

But always Backup First. Please Try it and let us know .

Hem(personal info removed)
hi, my name is hem(personal info removed) from ahmedabad.
i m feeling like a fool after buying a blackberry curve 9220 white handheld from snapdeal. i received the phone in the last week of april'13 and on 31st may'13 my phone got dead. i submitted to the service centre in ahmedabad @ mithakali on 3rd june'13(WORK ORDER NO. - (personal info removed)223). i have been told that it needs to be sent to bangalore and will be back in aroung 15-20 days. still i have not received my phone. no one from blackberry is responding to me. from service centre ms. shweta told me that it will take one week - the same reply since last two weeks. mr. chintan has cooperated well on the no.((prsonal info removed)70). mr. chintan said that this service centre does not belongs to him so he has given me one more contact no. of mr. pravin - (personal info removed).
i m trying to get connect to this no. since last two days. this no. is either busy or not getting replied. i tried this no. in last two days for more than 50 times atleast. today mr. chintan has given me one more no. of mr. prashant ((personal info removed)13). he asked me for the WO no. and told me that some one will get back to me. i got a call from mithakali service centre and same reply - one more week. now mr. prashant is also not replying my phone. i m really not understanding a phone like blackberry which i hardly used for 4 weeks is lying with service centre since almost last four weeks. now in no way this phone is acceptable to me. now this long message is my last hope. i hope to recieve at least a reply as this is the longest message i have ever drafted in my life and that too for a bloody phone like blackberry. black service and black associates.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. BlackBerry provides zero front line support to end users, including warranty...all support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into BlackBerry at no charge to the end user.
So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. Rather, it is through your service center and/or place of purchase...even if they may have so far been unhelpful. You have no free path by which to bypass them, and should be escalating to their management levels.
There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the initial question, since you are bypassing the contract you signed upon purchase. If you wish to investigate that, you can review it here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.html
There also might be some good reading here:

Serious Malfunction with Curve 9220 since the time it has been bought

Had bought a blackberry curve 9220 in March 2013. Since the time it has been bought, there were network related issues.
In October, this phone got switched off by its own too. FInally after showng up at the service center they got this fixed.
Within a month, the trackpad started to deviate and stopped moving up and down.
Once this error was reported and shown at the service center, I was asked to pay 10000.
This is sheer malfunction and for no reason I have been asked to pay an amount which is more than the cost of the phone itself.
Can someone please reply to this and check into the issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Ratnesh
