You would need to ask BlackBerry India that question. This is a user-to-user community support forum. We are not RIM employees, but volunteers who enjoy assisting other users. RIM personnel rarely comment on queries posted here.
Meanwhile, you can find replacements to replace yourself at cnn.cn and truesupplier.com

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
1) Check and, if it exists, remove AppWorld from your BBKB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphoneIf it requests that you reboot the BB, do so2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorldhttp://blackberry.com/appworld/downloadAgain, if it requests to reboot, do so.4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works. Otherwise, please expand on...JameelKhan2k wrote:and i cant download through internet

Curve 8520 Volume Button No Longer Working

Today the volume up button on right side of my Curve 8520 no longer works. Is there a fix? Is there another way I can control my volume when listening to music? I really don't want to replace my current Curve if I can. Please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply unleashurself,
When listening to music, listening to voice notes or watching video's there is no sound. When I push on the up volume button, volume does not go up & little speaker icon on bottom right of screen shows no bars (ie: no sound)
When making a phone call and using speaker phone, noticed I am able to volume down with the volume down button, but cannot volume up.
It does seem like a hardware issue (up volume button is done), I am wondering if there is another way I can control my volume through menu settings.

Blackberry Curve 8520 - Volume Button (increase/up) not working

The increase (top one) volume button on the side of the phone does not work. The decrease volume button work fine. For example, I open up media player, put on an mp3, but it is too low to be able to hear so I click the volume button to increase it but it just does nothing. I have threw my Blackberry once or twice in frustration since I got it for Christmas. I imagine this might have something to do with the fault but I don't know for sure. Hoping someone could help us here. How can I get this fixed?

Hi.
I've had the same problem on my 8520. I'm pretty sure the handheld hasn't been dropped/abused.
I fixed it the first time by setting the Key Tone in Options|Screen/Keyboard settings to On then back to Off (a bizarre fix I saw on another bulletin board, but amazingly it worked).
However, it happened again a week or two later and the same fix didn't work a second time.
I've just reloaded the OS (5.0.0.1036) but made no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas? Would be v.grateful....

JH,
I don't have a 900 G3 iBook here (BTW 14 or 12"?)
What I do have is an 800 MHz G3 12" and the picture of the power socket is here:
http://tinyurl.com/b345hq
My trace out of the two points is here:
http://tinyurl.com/dhc2sq
Now I take NO responsibility for the accuracy of these two trace outs.
I have an 800 12" board and yours is a 900 ?" board.
This will give you an idea of how to do it.
Here's a long discussion detailing some of my methods to effect this repair.
http://tinyurl.com/d799xs
Note that my methods have evolved during this post. Toward the end I recommend the the use of "grain of wheat" wire. I like this a lot better, it's smaller and easier to handle than CAT 5 wire. It's also one wire. Not all grain of wheat wire will be like this.
So the other end of those two wires are attached to the original power contacts of the torn off socket and the normal plug is plugged into that. Proper insulation practice should be used. I use shrink tubing.

Blackberry Curve 8520 - random buttons?

So I dropped my phone in water yesterday and the trackpad wasn't working, I just pulled the battery out and put it back in. It started working fine then all of a sudden today whenever i'm texting it presses random buttons. It keeps asking me if I need to change the time, etc , etc.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'll warn you, that the longer you keep the device powered up and the battery in, you're likely gonna end up with a totally non-working Blackberry.
Electricity + water does not mix. Never good.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

Curve 8520 random reboot

Hi guys I recently got my bb curve 8520 but I have noticed that it would reboot randomly without me having to do a battery pull or the alt-shift-delete method. It has reboot twice randomly I am I am very confused as to why it does that and when I rebooted it it started up normal but when I checked it again it rebooted on its own, you please help me!!!! I don't know if this is normal or what please help!!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I do indeed.
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps. This option is available with
BlackBerry Device Software 3.8 and later.
1. In the device Options, click Security.
If you are using BlackBerry Device Software 4.1, click Security Options > General Security.
2. Click the trackwheel and select Wipe Handheld.
3. Click Continue.
4. Type “blackberry”. All the data on the BlackBerry device is erased.
On some new versions of BlackBerry software, the menu navigation is slightly different.
1. Go to Options.
2. Select Security Options.
3. Select General Settings.
4. Click the Menu key.
5. Select Wipe Handheld.
6. Click Continue.
7. Type “blackberry”. All the data on the BlackBerry device is erased.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1. Connect your device to your computer.
2. On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Update my device.
3. Do one of the following:
* To download an update, click Get update.
* To view other available versions of the BlackBerry Device Software, click View other versions. If applicable, click another version. Click Install.
Ensure the new OS is the one you prevously downloaded.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Blackberry Curve 8520 will not turn on!

Hello, I am desperately hoping someone can assist me with the problem I am experiencing with my Curve 8520.
I have spent ages online looking at other forums and trying to see if people have had the same issue as me and to see if anyone had worked out what the problem was and could resolve it. It appears as though I'm the only one having this exact issue!
Yesterday, my phone turned off, without me using the off button. It was sat beside me, untouched but when I went to check it, it had turned off. I believe this has happened before and was not an issue, so didn't panic. However, when I tried to turn on the device, it would not work.
Whenever I attempt to turn it on the red light shows for a while, before it attempts to switch on (loading bar screen shows). It looks as though it is about to work sometimes, but gets to the same point, which is probably about 5% complete and then goes dead again. It continues to try to switch itself on without my command.
I have tried charging it, leaving the battery out for a while and trying again etc etc but to no avail.
It's such a shame because I was looking to splash out on a new model (as this now, it quite a low grade of BB!) but after this issue I am not so sure. Reading forum posts from other users whilst attempting to find a remedy for my issue has only out more doubt in my mind about using BB again. I sincerely hope my faith can be restored.
Please let me know if I missed any information which would be helpful, I am not very 'techy' at all.
Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
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 a 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.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Curve 8520 'frozen'

My Blackberry Curve 8520 seems to have frozen. None of the functions such as the trackpad and answer button work at all, only the keys on the keypad SWLHG & Y do. I can't answer calls or place calls. It connects to Desktop manager with no problems at all and I have tried updating the software. The phone has not been dropped or had any water damage and I checked inside for the water sticker, which is fine.
The phone is on a contract with Orange and I have insurance on it, but I am wondering if there is any 'fix'

Ah yes, knowing what has already been attempted certainly prevents wasting anyone's time.
So, with that, what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? Something else? The tiniest thing could be causal, so think very carefully.
If there was some change, then you have two possible ways to proceed.
1) Remove the change. Given then behavior, you'll have to use the Desktop Software to remove whatever the offending thing is:
KB10376Remove applications from the BlackBerry smartphone
2) Reload your OS clean, and then start putting apps back on. You'd want to go slow here...giving it time to know for sure that the behavior presents or not. Once it starts, you know the culprit.
If there was no change recently, then you likely can only go with method 2...
Lastly...don't rule out moisture damage. The behavior could actually indicate that. And moisture intrusion into a BB is much easier to suffer than one would think (with the indicators sometimes not presenting positive). To attempt to treat that, you'd need to follow this FAQ:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
Good luck!

Script for Button 3 or using side buttons on Mighty Mouse for Button 3

Looks like the preferences for Mighty Mouse only allow the side "squeeze" buttons to be used for Button 4. I don't want to use the scroll ball for Button 3 because it keeps zooming when i do. Does anyone know how to write a script to configure the side buttons to be Button 3?

I think I'm having a similar problem. Lately, my side buttons have been activating seemingly on their own. I hear multiple clicking sounds. I know I can turn off the button, but I use USB Overdrive to activate page back in browsers and the Finder, so I can be surfing and be brought back several pages at once. Very irritating. It doesn't seem to be consistent either. I bought my latest iMac in June, so I the warranty should be in place, but I'm an hour and half from the nearest Apple store, making it somewhat inconvenient to have the mouse looked at.
Heh, right when I was about to post this message, it went back several pages.
