Curve 8520 keeps freezing and going to white screen

I recently had my curve replaced after the trackpad stopped working. Now my new curve keeps freezing when I'm on the internet, the screen will get white lines across it which gradually get bigger until the whole screen is white. A reboot doesn't work unless the phone is plugged into the charger and the problem never happens when the phone is on charge.
I've tried changing the browser settings so JavaScript isn't enabled, I've also reinstalled the software and finally decided to wipe my blackberry and restored it to the file i had saved from my old curve and I'm still getting the same problem.
I'm not sure whether it's linked to the battery as it also happens when making a call if the battery is low and when I reboot my curve after it's gone to a white screen the battery has usually dropped a few bars (usually from full to 2 bars)
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

Could someone please help me. I have a blackberry 8520 and I recently accidentally put ONLY the keypad in the water but luckily I read that you have to keep it in the sun for 24 hours and it worked, next my charger port broke of then I got it fixed but right after I got it fixed every time I fully charge my phone or it have 2 or more bars in like 10 or 7mins it freezes and their are these lines then it goes into a white screen. I took the battery and put the batter back in the phone worked fine but then the battery went from full to battery drained shutting down?!? What do I do??

  • Curve 8520 crashes alot and shows a white screen

    I bought my bb in may. Now since a week ago it sometimes crashes the screen turns green and purple and it fades to white. I have to take out my battery and charge it without. Then when the sign of no battery shows I put it back in. When I reboot my bb without taking out the battery first it gets stuck in the process.
    But the BB keeps on crashing, and the amount of crashes increase...
    help me please?

    Hello salgaga and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone.
    It would be advised you backup your user data using BlackBerry® Desktop Software and reinstall your software as shown in KB11320 How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows or KB19915 Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

  • My Blackberry Curve 8520 keeps freezing.

    While trying to perform all the standard tasks on my Blackberry, it freezes for around 3 seconds, during this time it goes to white screen then flashes back on. This happens whenever I try to send a text, bbm or email, and also while searching Facebook and Twitter. I have restarted my phone on several occasions and taken the battery out. How can I stop this from happening?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    That's a tricky one...it could be a badly behaving app, it could be a corrupt OS, it could be defective or damaged hardware, it could be a combination of things, or even other things that I've not yet thought of. If you really want to diagnose, the process I'd recommend is this:
    1) Reload your BB OS clean, as "bare bones" as possible (no themes, no add-on apps, nothing that is optional). If the behavior immediately presents, then your problem is likely hardware (though you might try an updated OS if available).
    2) Run for about a week -- long enough to be sure that the behavior will not appear.
    3) Add just one thing.
    4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the behavior appears, at which point you know the culprit (the last thing you added).
    5) If the behavior does not reappear, then you know it was a corrupt OS, and that as well was cured by step 1.
    Good luck!

  • My blackberry 8520 keeps freezing and crashing

    i can't get onto my phone once i take the battery out because it keeps crashing, is there a reset button on blackberry curve 8520 ecause if not i can't use my phone right back asap thank you

    I bought the new snow leopard disk directly from Apple, so it is fine. disk utiliy erase/formats the disk drive and shows a fully verified disk, then the osx install proceeds smoothly. Then after the install, eventually the disk crashes again with spinning beachball. It will either let me shutdown eventually or i must force shutdown and then it won't reboot and must use the cd-boot again. disk utility then says it can't verify the disk (Invalid B-tree node size) and the process statrts all over again.

  • Hanging and going to white screen

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13 with XP (with all updates). When I leave Firefox up for a period of time (usually an hour or more though sometimes less than that), Firefox hangs at a all white screen and I can't do anything except open Task Manager and shut it down, then restart it.

  • What should i do if my contact app freezes and goes to home screen by itself?

    Hi, does anyone know how to deal with this kind of problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New iOS 7 Keeps rebooting and going to apple screen?

    I downloaded the new ios and the phone will stay on for a minute then crash and go to the apple screen.  Impossible to do anything on the phone. Any ideas?

    Hold down the Power and Home keys until you see a steady Apple logo on the screen.

  • My screen keeps freezing and turning white

    My MacBook keeps occasionally freezing and slowly turning white. Sometimes it reverts back to normal if I leave it but other times I have to wiggle the screen back and forth to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I think I may be experiencing a similar problem. My screen display starts to shake, flickers, turns "pixelated," freezes, and slowly fades to white. Sometimes if I leave the computer alone it rides out the problem, or sometimes I restart it. But, that's only a temporary fix and it seems to be worsening. Let me know if you hear of a solution, and I'll let you know!

  • I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • Why Does My Curve 9300 Keep Freezing

    Why does my BB Curve 9300 keep freezing? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The reason it's freezing all the time is you are out of application memory.
    I recommend installing BlackBerry Desktop Software and making a full backup of the device. Then do a Security Wipe. You can do the wipe by going to Options and type security wipe in the search bar. Don't include the media card but include 3rd party apps. You can install those again later via BBWorld.
    When it's done, you can restore only the databases you really need like email, calendar, contacts, etc.
    When you're all done make sure that media is saved to the media card. I recommend getting a much bigger card so you have room for pictures and videos. You don't want that data saved on the device memory.

  • My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off...

    Moderators, I really need your help.
    My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off after my power supply got damaged (the cord was cut open and the two small cables were touching each other causing it to spark a little). Now I turn it on and just 5 to 10 seconds later it shuts itself off everytime. The media card is damaged too. Last night I charged its batteries and 5 minutes ago it was already drained. I dont want to lose my contacts, notes or BBM contacts.
    Please at least help me diagnose the problem.

    Hi dalstongirl
    Have you already sent your BlackBerry in for service?  If not, I would advise checking for any software updates by plugging in your BlackBerry to your PC and going to www.blackberry.com/update
    Thanks

  • Keeps freezing and opening random apps

    So, I got my iphone 5 around February, and now it keeps freezing and opening random apps. Or when I am on the keyboard, it types random things.I have tried "Reset all Settings" and "Erase all Content and settings" without backing up with cloud and NOTHING is working. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, after reading all responses, I must say first of all thank you for keeping this active. It might help more people since I am not the only one with this issue.
    What have I done so far? I used the soft reset quite often since it freezes often and the only way to get something out of it is the soft reset. It then takes a little while to reset ( more than once it seems) where the white light with black apple shows up and goes black again, then the home screen, flashes a few times, goes white again..... Black.... Home screen. I noticed that if I just let it do what it does, eventually it will get back to normal..... Until next time. I have emptied the ram, deleted pictures and apps to free space and keep my email accounts low. After all of that I noticed that it still reboots by its own ( suddenly white light w/ apple) and it gets warm on the back ( must be using lots of energy) at least once every day. Even when I think, ok 1 day w/out frozen screen, the light comes on suddenly at night while charging. I also noticed that it even happend once to my iPad ( 2) after updating to 8.3 so I still think it has to do with the recent update to iPhones 5 or older. Dont know if some one has had any problems like that with iPhone 6 or plus.
    just wanted to follow up from my end and I think I will just hold on to the next update that hopefully solves the issue. If more ppl have that same problem it might happen soon. So, please keep posting and make the community aware of this so a fix will come soon.. !

  • Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

    Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
    Cheers

    Maybe disable hardware acceleration? This article should help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram

  • Apple TV keeps freezing  and snow picture

    Guys
    Again I need your help.
    My AppleTV keeps freezing and have white dots while displaying menu and playing the content.
    When I try to restart it it shows the Apple logo and freezes while the dots keep appearing and flashing (think Matrix movie). It doesn't make any sound. I have unplugged the cable/ restart it (took ages), changed HDMI cable.
    Nothing. My TV is new and never had that problem before, it happened after last upgrade.
    Any Ideas

    I am also having this same issue. I tried both HDMI and Component connected directly to my TV. Cables are known good with my Bluray player.
    I did a factory restore and it got to 1.0 software. I still had the snow effect and also freezing on the bootup movie. After a few attempts I was finally able to get through to the menu and upgrade the software the latest release, and it still had the snow effect on either HDMI or Component. It also froze in the menu system.
    From that troubleshooting, I think it is hardware issue. I have left the apple TV unplugged since last night. when I get back home for the evening, I will check again and see if the long time of being unplugged will fix it. If not, time to take it to the Apple Store.
    Had it for a little more then a year and it is already broken. Poor Poor quality, but that is what I get for getting the first gen.
