Curve 9360 Trackpad problems

So about a week ago, my trackpad stopped working, to get it to scroll I had to hold a piece of clothing such as my shirt between the trackpad and my thumb. It would go between working and not working without the article of clothing for a few days but now it only works if I have something between my thumb and the trackpad. Not sure what to do, I got it 9 months ago and its in really good condition.

Hi KayelaDenman
Welcome to the Community
What is your present Device software version. Have you tried Updating your Device software if not then Updating your device software may help .You can try that.
KB29640 : Trackpad ,trackball, or keyboard not working on a BlackBerry Smartphone.
If even after performing the above task problem remains ,then I think your trackpad needs to be replaced or repaired.

Curve 9360 TrackPad gone bust what to do?

Hi guys I've had my BB curve 9360 for around 2 months now, recently the trackpad started not working I've tried all of the methods such as taking out sim memory card battery etc these all worked temporarily but did not fix the issue.
These methods have finally stopped working and my trackpad light doesn't come on at all now, I think it's tracking functions have come to an 'end', it does click to open things but it doesn't scroll so as you can imagine almost impossible to navigate on my phone. Having to use the search function to find things now, but it's hell trust me...
I have tried looking online for a replacement trackpad but because this phone is still fairly new I have been unable to find a replacement OEM replacement. All I see on ebay and other online sites is trackpads for other curves not this one...
I am wondering if a curve 9300 3g trackpad would work or if anyone can tell me the best thing to do cause this is a real nuisance for me, I love this phone but right now I can't do a thing with it...
Is the 9360 trackpad any different from the one used in the 9300 3g?
Thank you guys

OK, so you really don't have any warranty, having bought the device used.
I don't know who will have the parts if those two links do not.

Curve 9360 Charging Problems

I've had a couple problems with my blackberry curve 9360, battery life, slow, freezing, but this one is the worse.
When i go to charge my phone, it doesn't charge properly. I plug it in and it shows a plug type icon in the battery, not the normal charging icon. The phone charges for a minute then goes back to the icon, In order for it to charge properly I have to hold and push the plug harder into my phone.
Is this a problem I should just go to koodo and get fixed? Also, I have had this phone for only 4 months, is it possible I am entitled for a replacement, becasuse Im getting really tired of it.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Run, don't walk, to Koodo. But first, check your paperwork and know your warranty rights and provisions...those will govern what you are eligible for. Be sure to take everything with you so that you can properly demonstrate to them the exact behavior.
Good luck!

Curve 9360 os problems

i am using an redington carrier curve 9360 indian handcet i cannot install os 7.1 on my cell it displays the os 7.0 only after formatting !! can you help ?

Redington might not have released OS7.1, but you can do this manually if you prefer. Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
Instructions and download for OS 7.1.0.336 for the 9360
http://www.blackberryos.com/9350-9360-9370-operating-software/29938-official-os-7-1-0-336-blackberry...
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Blackberry curve 9300 trackpad problems and Freezing :\

Hey,
i've had loads of problems with my Blackberry i've had it for about 3 months now and my trackpad keeps on Freezing!
This problem occured a couple of weeks after i brought the phone and its still happening! i've tried taking the Battery out several times and it did work at first but now it just doesnt, it goes days without working!
I thought it may be a problem with the software as that always crashes and freezes multiple times a day -.-
It's still under garuntee so should i take it back. Its got scratches and stuff on the screen it but that should effect the software or trackpad or me being able to take it back?
Please help, its getting so annoying!
Thanks

Curve 9360 WiFi Problems.

So recently my BBM and Internet package run out so I thought I'd use my WiFi but only the browser works. I rebooted my phone earlier today and WhatsApp worked after I left the house and when I came back it stopped working so I rebooted once again and it won't work :/

Hello,
Many apps require that your BIS data plan be active, even if you are using services via WiFi. From what you describe, this is what I would deduce to be your situation.
Good luck!

Curve 9360 OS 7.1 update problems

Couldn't find any threads with this particular problem, so here goes....
I'm trying to upgrade my T-Mobile Curve 9360 to OS 7.1, so I try checking for updates, either over the wireless or connected to the desktop using the BB website and Desktop Software v7. Every time, it tells me my phone is up to date, even though I'm running OS 7.0.0.319. The only other version indicated available is the one I already have.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello!
Please refer to the official download portal to know what OS packages each carrier has released and is therefore supporting:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Also, at the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for each model. You can use those as reference as you proceed.
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. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.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.
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:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Good luck and let us know!

Problems with OS 7.1 on Curve 9360

Hello, I am new to the Blackberry world of things having been previous Apple and Android... I have just bought a new Blackberry Curve 9360 on Tesco Mobile (uses o2 network) and, it came pre installed with OS v7.0. (The 9360 came with a 4Gb memory card) As recommended, I have upgraded to OS v7.1 however; I seem to be having several issues with this... 1. Since the upgrade, the OS seems to hang and freeze quite a bit when switching between apps etc. I have tried a battery pull but no different. 2. I don't seem to be able to download some of the apps from Blackberry App World because my device is not compatible. I believe this is probably because the the App Developer hasn't updated the code for OS 7.0 / 7.1?? 3. Since the upgrade, I am unable to install ANY applications because it is saying I have less than 5Mb of storage space remaining on the internal storage. I have tried a battery pull but this hasn't fixed the issue. I also have a Blackberry Curve 9300 for work and, have no problems with this at all and, am very pleased with it. I noticed that my 9300 is running OS 6 and, that I have more apps available than on my 9360 so... If I downgrade my OS to v6.0 on my Curve 9360, will this (1), cure the slowness problem? (2) download the same amount of apps as on my 9300? (3) will a downgrade cure the space issue or, can you provide any other help on this?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Your assumption about app compatibility is correct...every app must be ported to every specific BB model number as well as major OS level. Some developers choose to not do so, others just take longer to catch up.
As for your other issues...every situation is unique. Each BB has a fixed amount of AppMemory which must house the OS, all apps, and some amount of app data, overhead, etc. So, the mixture of those that you choose will determine what you cam have as far as additional apps, performance, etc. But, this KB might give you some help:
KB14320 How to maximize battery life and free memory on the BlackBerry smartphone
You also should try other 7.1 packages...some are reported to be more stable than others.
Sadly, it's pretty much impossible to tell you what the exact results will be for you...every situation is unique as well as every users tolerance levels, so you must figure out what works best for you.
Good luck!

Update problems with blackberry curve 9360

I need help, I downloaded the latest software update for my blackberry curve 9360, during installation the freezes at 9%, I've looked everywhere for the answer to fix... I've tried safe mode but it doesn't let me select the 'OK' option, I downloaded the bb desktop software where it can find my phone but down the bottom right corner it just says connecting, would really appreciate the help

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
(Credit JSanders)
There are two methods of recovery for you to try:
One:
Open Blackberry Desktop Software & Connect your device with PC using USB cable, without inserting battery.
You will get three option Retry, Update Or Cancel, then click on update.
Once it is to the stage of the update "initializing handheld", then insert battery.
If this does not work, and you remain stuck on the backing up the Social Feeds database, go to the second method below.
Secondly:
Start your BlackBerry in Safe mode. Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Modehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow your handheld to connect. If you are prompted to upgrade, cancel the upgrade for later.
IF you cannot connect or your Desktop Software does not recognize your device while in Safe Mode, please follow the directions here to force the detect:  Article ID: KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
Go to Device > delete > SELECT DATA > select to delete both the Social Feeds and Smart Card databases, and follow the remaining prompts to complete it.
Now, you can return and click to upgrade the device through the Desktop Manager, or reboot the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue the over the air upgrade.

9360 Trackpad Help

Hello.
I really need help with my trackpad. There's a problem with the actual pad. Recently the old one messed up, it stopped working completely so I purchased a new one from a seller I bought all my parts off and installed it myself. The trackpad works sometimes, but only when the keyboard and trackpad backlight are off, this happens every so often, and also when the phone is on charge it works perfectly even if the backlight is on. I think that there's not enough power getting to the trackpad, because the backlight is a lot brighter when on charge and then it works, and when the light is off there's more power going to the optics of it. If anyone has any idea's or any way to turn the light off please let me know
Thanks

Curve 9360 custom sound alerts for messages will not work. Tried EVERYTHING.

I have a brand spanking new BlackBerry Curve 9360 that just arrived yesterday. It is great apart from this very frustrating small prob. I can not customise my message alerts for individual people in my address book. When I click on "try it" only the LED button flashes and there is no sound or vibration. I am trying to get the sound and vibrate to play as "active profile" but it just won't. I can override it and have custom volume and vibrate that plays no matter what the profile but as I sometimes like to set my main profile to vibrate or silent, it won't do.
So far, to fix it, I have tried:
Wiping profile and sounds from the blackberry software
Full factory reset
Creating my own profile and using that instead of "normal" or any of the other preset ones
Loads of battery pulls before and/or after any changes
I have also had a few different people text me to make sure the problem isn't just the "try it" feature. It isn't. The sound that plays is always the default message sound for whatever the default profile is.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
Deb

I have also experienced exactly the same problem.
The profile is set on normal, with the ringer volume on 10, the ring tone has been selected, and I have also selected the option of the vibrator along with the ring tone.
Now here is the problem, initially it rings and works perfectly, however it seems to automatically turn off the volume so the LED light keeps flashing, however there is not ring tone or vibration.
If you select the "normal" profile or any other profile and change the ring tone or the volume, and click on the try it icon at the bottom, it still only flashes the LED, with no sound.
Have tried everything that you have mentioned in your email, however still unable to rectify the issue. the only way to rectify is it to hard stop the BB, by pulling out the battery and restarting the Blackberry.
Can anyone help or suggest what needs to be done ?

This is really frustrating as it means when I am away from the office and we get a fax (which comes through as a pdf attachement by email) I cannot see what it is !
The same pdf files open fine on my laptop (in outlook) and a friend has a blackberry bold and the same pdf opens fine on his bold !
I am on OS7.1 (Bundle 2494) on my Curve 9360 but I have had the problem from back since OS6.

Curve 9360 not ringing with incoming calls

Good day. I am using a Blackberry Curve 9360 Smartphone.
Hope you can help me, I have inadvertently ticked the "All Alerts Off" option instead of the "Silent" option.
The phone rejects my attemps to change it back to All Alerts on, with a reply "Alerts Off cannot be editted or deleted"
There's a red tick mark next to the icon, and the icon is also highlighted in red.
The "Normal" option is ticked at the moment but the "All Alerts Off" option remains the same.
Incoming calls go straight to voicemail without a ringing alert, and a sms informs me of a missed call.
Please advise me how to resolve this problem, URGENTLY !!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
That is strange indeed...typically, only one profile at a time can actually be active...from what you describe, both Normal and All Alerts Off are active at the same time...not normal. Lets try this...
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Now try to reset your sound profile as you desire.
Best!
