Curve 8520 - Constant Loading Icon

Hey,
I own a BlackBerry Curve 8520, and whenever I'm doing simple things such as texting, i'll type a few letters and will have to wait for ages until the loading icon goes off. It's happened for a while and is getting **bleep** annoying now. Any advice?
thanks,
Matt

Go to Options>Memory and see what your app memory free space is. That would be the place to start.

    Hi shanet88,
    Welcome to the Support Community!
    If the BlackBerry® Desktop Software is able to connect with your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone, please take a backup of your data then perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
    For further instructions, see the following KB article. How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows. www.blackberry.com/btsc/kb11320
    If your BlackBerry Curve smartphone is unable to connect with the BlackBerry Desktop Software, please connect your BlackBerry smartphone to the computer without the battery inserted and try to reload the BlackBerry Device Software.
    Once the software load has already started, reinsert the battery. This process will remove all data from your BlackBerry smartphone.

  • Curve 8520 starts loading the bar halfway then stops

    I was just using whatsapp before this and it was going very slow and then when I would click on whatsapp, there would be a message saying uncaught exception or something like that so then I pulled the battery out and it never started properly after that but would just load the bar about 2/3 of the way and then stop.
    I've tried charging it, it was fully charged before though and I've left it out the whole night and it still isn't working?
    It's a Curve 8520 with OS v.5

    Hi mairay
    Welcome to the Community
    Please try to start your device in Safe Mode KB17877 ( after inserting the battery before the loading begain and red led blinks just press and hold the Escape  key for a min .after loading complete it will give you an option to start in safe mode )  and then uninstall whatsapp,and it will be nice if you recall the error message you recieved  and let us know.
    Try and and let us know.

  • Curve 8520 will load to homepage but cannot access menu/apps/dialing anything :(

    Hey folks,
    My Curve 8520 decided to die today
    When i try and use it, I view the home page but I cannot access the menu when pressing the BB button, none of the apps work on the task bar, I cant dial numbers and none of the side buttons work. All i can do is move the tracker pad around. When the screen fades out to black, i cant get anything back it stays like that. The red led was flashing as well, but ive had a few messages come through as well now - but it was flashing before.
    Ive tried a hard reboot (taking the battery out) a few times, ive even left the battery out for like 5 mins.
    Ive tried connecting to bb desktop manager - but when the device is connected and the prompt for mass storage mode comes up it wont let me select yes or no - so desktop manager is never able to recognise it.
    please help - the insurance people are rubbish n it could take like 5-6 weeks to get it sorted 
    regards
    tris

    update . I solved it with a reboot (removed battery with phone switched on)....      the missus happy again...

    it does not flash nor effect the phone it's just pretty annoying.
    I have the latest OS installed on the phone.

    Thanks

    Hi Paid4Upload and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Have you recently installed any LED type applications or themes?  I would also assume that the LED is red?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Lost Icon in my Curve 8520

    Hi to all...this is my first post in this forum.
    I´ve been used my Curve 8520 every day with no problem but I updated my device sw yesterday and I lost the icon and the function to block the keyboard. How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks
    Sergio

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Depending on what level you updated to, the function changed. Somewhere in the 5.x BB OS series, the old method was replaced. How it works now is thus. To simply lock the keypad, use the hard button on top of the BB. If you assign a device lock password, you then will have an icon on your homescreen by which to force it into an early password lock state.
    This is how it now works. There is no way to change it except to fall back to a version prior to when the functionality changed.
    Good luck!

    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!

    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..!!!

  • My curve 8520 is stuck on the loading screen :(

    Hi,
    I bought my curve 8520 about 5 months ago. And just yesterday when I tried rebooting it, it remains stuck on the boot loading screen. I tried battery pull, alt+shiftl+del, but all that happens is it getting stuck on the loading screen.
    Any advice on what to do, cause I dont wanna format the phone memory as I dont have a backup of my contacts.
    Thanks

    Have you tried the battery removal and key pressing I suggested above?
    The original poster said they didn't want to reload the OS but ultimately, that is the course of action to follow. If you want to do that then

  • My Blackberry curve 8520 doen't wanna open!!

    Hi guys I'm new to the blackberry world. I recently bought a blackberry curve 8520, now it doesn't wanna open the home screen. What happened is that I took off the sim card that came with it yesterday and put another sim card, now when I took the sim card back in again the phone would show the blackberry screen that shows it's loading and after that it shows the MTN "wall paper" without any icons and my picture. Can anyone help me please?

    Hi Semzo,
    Welcome to the Forums. Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT Make sure the device is running as expected before restoring any data from your backup file.

  • Curve 8520 won't turn on all the way, please help!

    I have a blackberry curve 8520, i bought it last month sometime.
    I woke up yesterday morning and the balckberry was off, and would not switch on after i pushed down the ON button. So I charged it for a while, and still, it wouldnt switch on. Then, i took it off charge, took out the battery put the battery back in and it rebooted. The loading bar went right to the end, and the logo of my service provider appeared. And that's when it stopped loading. All that will show is the logo, it wont turn off, unless i take the battery out again.
    I had downloaded an app the night before it stopped working off appworld, could that have affected it? I tried to link it to my computer, but it wont let me remove or add applications.
    I did take out the battery for hours, and the SD card. It still wiil only turn on until my service provider's logo.
    PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be helpful. 
    Solved!

    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.
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry 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.

  • Help required with upgrading to OS5 on curve 8520

    Hello everyone,
    I'm using an unlocked version of the bb curve 8520 and want to upgrade my bb device os to v5.0. (current version- 4.6.1)
    I tried using the application loader on the bb website (NA & India both) but it just tells me that my OS is updated and that i will be notified if there are any updates available. I would be really grateful if someone could help me update my os.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    Your warranty is not endangered. You are free to use any carriers OS package on your BB. Your carrier may, however, refuse to provide you with support (including Warranty evaluation/service) until you fall back to their supported device OS level. But your warranty per se is not endangered.
    Good luck!
