Hi
Whats the version of the operating system please. Go to Options > About and it looks like OS 5.0.0.681 (which happens to be mine).

Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?
Solved!

Bios Locks when going into "Advanced Chipset Features"

Hi, My bios locks up about 70% of the time when I try to go into the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu. I've tried clearing the Cmos, and still have it freeze most of the time. Every once in awhile It works, but its very rare. I havnt done any overclocking or anything. Anyone have any Ideas for me? System specs are in the sig.

Hey, thanks for the response. I used Arctic silver Compound as directed by their documentation. Processor temps are around 46 (c) degrees at idle in windows, so I kind of ruled out a heat problem. Am I overlooking somthing?

HT201401 My phone won't lock or go into sleep mode when answering calls

My phone won't lock or go into sleep mode when making or receiving calls. Consequently I keep activating the mute or loud speaker buttons with my cheek. Can anyone help please??

That is a Proximity Sensor Problem, which is located above the earpiece speaker. Do you have a new screen protector or iPhone Case which could interfer with this?
Reset iPhone, Restore iPhone.
If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

My iPad2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet.

My iPad 2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet. I've tried 12W and 10W original Apple iPad chargers as well as iPhone 4 chargers. It charges (very slowly) when I plug it into my laptop but I've tried every outlet in my house and at work with no success. So I am stumped as to why it won't work in two completely different locations when plugged into the outlet - because it's obviously not the charger, cable or the iPad batter.
I've tried blowing out dust from the port, resetting my iPad (holding down the home and power buttons at the same time) and jiggling the cable.
Note: I am still on iOS 6 so upgrading my OS isn't the issue.
I would appreciate any assistance with this as it's very frustrating!

If it will charge when connected to the computer, but very slowly, typical of a low power USB port, but will not charge with the chargers you have tried, the issue is then most likely with the chargers. However, to be sure, take the iPad and charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see where the problem is occuring.

My BB Curve 8520 will power down when it has 3 out of 5 "bars" of battery power left.

My BB Curve 8520 will power down when it has 3 out of 5 "bars" of battery power left. I have replaced the battery twice. It is out of warranty. The software update did not help the problem. Do I just need a new phone?

Hello debra85,
I can imagine the frustration the battery life is causing! To confirm are you using the Blackberry Curve 8530? Have you attempted restoring the operating system through the Blackberry Desktop Manager? This will help clear corruptions that may be present on the phone. We can also discuss what options you have to get a new phone, if needed. I look forward to hearing from you and finding a solution to your concerns.
Thank You,

It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

My ipod touch won't connect when plugged into Bose speaker

Whenever I plug my iPod touch into my Bose speaker system, nothing happens. It doesn't say that there is an error or anything. It starts charging just fine but it won't play when it's plugged in.
I know it's not an issue with the iPod's abililty to play music because headphones and the built in speaker work just fine. Other iPods connect fine to that speaker, just not this one. I'm just not sure why it won't connect to the speaker.

- Does Bose say it is compatble with your 4G iPod and iOS 6.1.6? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility
- Did it work before the iOS update?
- Have you went to Bose's support site/contacted them?
Trey:
- Resetting the Bose unit
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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.

My Blackberry Curve 8520 get authorisation failure when i call people

I bought a Blackberry Curve 8520 yesterday on pay as you go on virgin. I got my £10 top-up that came with it this morning and so i thought would call a friend. when i do it says 'authorisation failure'. This is quite annoying as i only bought it yesterday and yet i cant even call anyone, already!
Ive looked all over the internet and havent come to a clear solution, this sort of problem seems common with second-hand phones, not phone that are brought brand new. cheers for the help, would be welcome.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
There is definitely something not correct, but it is at the voice-level functionality, not the data level. So, you need to talk to Virgin about it...it is their network, after all, through which your BB is unable to communicate.
Good luck!
PS -- you did not say clearly...but is your BB new or used? If new, did you also buy it from Virgin? If so, then they are 100% responsible for all of your services as well as 100% responsible for all of your formal support...which only bolsters the "ring them up" path to seek resolution.

My Blackberry is the V4,6.1.314..So, basically whenever I connect my Blackberry to my computer it just starts to charge!

IPhone 5 won't charge when plugged into lightning connector one way but if it flips then it works

My iPhone 5 won't charge when it's plugged into the lightning connector one way but if I flip it then it works. It's not my charger because it's the same way with other chargers. What's wrong with my phone?

Yes I've tried multiple ones and none work. My boyfriend's iPhone 5 and my brother's all work either way the charger is turned.

Blackberry Curve 8520 won't turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on,there was a red light on for a minute! Took out my sim card,memory card & battery and tried to charge it then. It came up for literally one second a drained battery sign. Really don't want to send it away, any help would be great Thanks!

Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.
