Curve 9360 won't charge

This morning when I plugged my phone into charge, instead of showing the usual lightening symbol in the battery bar, it just showed a red charge symbol, which it's never done before. It won't hold any charge, even though I turned it off for a while, I battery pulled, waited 30 secs, pressed alt+shift+del twice, and used a different charger. The little light at first flashed red but now is yellow, and has been for the best part of the phone being plugged in to charge. The tricky sitch is I bbought it in England but am in Germany for the next two weeks. Anyone know of a way I can fix this for now, bar having to buy a new battery? Thanks

Hi Franziww
Sorry to hear that it still not working for you ! But as I said If you can manage or borrow a charge battery from any of your friend it may help , use it on your device it let you know if the issue is because of a battery or your device itself has encountered an issue.
If your device get working after using a fully charge battery then simply replacing the battery will fix the issue and if you notice that the issue is with your device you can try a few things like :

Good luck .

  • Curve 9360 won't install apps! Just automatically reboots after 'installing' and hasn't done it..

    Blackberry Curve 9360. New device received yesterday after water damage to my old one. I upgraded to the latest OS and AppWorld yesterday and everything has worked absolutely perfect. Except every time I try and install or upgrade an app it reaches the end of the installation bar then reboots itself and when I look after the reboot I find the upgrade or app hasn't been installed. It does this with every app I try and install. I've tried working on just Wi-Fi or Network and it makes no difference. Can anyone help? has anyone had this before? Incredibly frustrating considering I've just got a new one back!!!
    Thanks!

    Hey ChrisWatkins93,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    How much free memory is on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone?  Go to Options>Status to find this information.
    To determine if this a operating system issue, I suggest following all the steps in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    Then test out BlackBerry App World™ afterwards to see if the issue is resolved.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Blackberry 9360 won't charge

    I've had my curve for going on 2 and a half years and obviously there is bound to be issues with it after this long of being used, but even when the phone was relatively new, I had problems with it. I have literally tried everything. swapping chargers, swapping batteries, using a USB port, the 4 hour and 15 minute "kickstart" process and a bunch of other little Internet hacks. the amount of people having problems with this phone is unbelievable. I've been on 4 different sites with forums talking about this phone not charging or turning on. I took my phone in a few months ago when it wouldn't turn on. miraculously, the second the tech held the end call button it turned on even though it hasn't for almost two days when Id been trying. they sent me away saying it was just lagging. should I just get a new phone, or is there something I can do?

    I don't follow at the end? Does the device turn on?
    If the device turns on and you want to continue using it, do a backup, then do a clean OS install. Test right after the OS install after you go through setup. Assuming it charges, when you restore, just restore your personal data. Do not restore settings. Do settings and customizations over from scratch. And for now, only install add-on and third-party apps that you absolutely need.

  • Curve 8320 won't charge

    I have a new Curve 8320 that doesn't charge.  It worked for a week and then it just stopped charging.  I've tried the USB charger, three different BlackBerry wall chargers, and two different batteries and nothing has worked.  I had a friend charge my battery in her Curve and the battery and phone both worked fine until it was time to recharge again.  Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? If not, does anyone know where I can send the phone to have the problem fixed?  BlackBerry has been less than helpful since I don't pay for their technical support (which is BS if you ask me....it's not like I'm trying to run the world from my phone, I just want it to charge).  The phone less than a year old.
    Thanks in advance,
    WJ

    Where did you purchase the device?
    The carriers which sell the devices provide the initial first line support. If it is less than a year old, in most cases, the warranty is good for a replacement device. That will vary for some carriers.
    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB 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).

  • Curve 9300 won't charge properly

    I've had my Blackberry Curve 9300 for about 7 months now & I've been experiencing this problem for the past 3 months. For some reason my Blackberry "chooses" the chargers that can charge it, i.e. If I use my wall charger, it randomly works, If I use my Boss' Car Charger, it works like any normal charger, I tried using my friend's wall charger, same problem as mine, then I tried another friend's Car Charger, this time it didn't work.
    I haven't installed any 3rd party apps apart from the usual package like facebook & bbm so I'm guessing the problem is elsewhere.
    The main problem is the "randomness" of my wall charger; sometimes it takes me a few minutes of pluging the charger to the usb port over & over again till the lightning sign shows that it's charging, but most of the time it takes me as much as 4hrs to get that sign to pop up, in which by that time my BB's already dead. The clock appearing at the time you plug the charger in has no effect as I press the return button every time after the clock appears, & the charging sign still isn't there. It's annoying because everytime the battery goes red are the time when I need it the most, like when I need to meet someone outside the office. I don't want to go through the inconvenience of purchasing a new phone of replacing this one as I have had lots of notes & messages that I want to keep but since there's a USB port problem, I can't even connect my BB to my laptop as it says it can't recognise the USB connection. I've tried with multiple cables as well & none can be recognised.
    Can someone please help?

    Hi

    The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Be very careful as you proceed...you only get a maximum of 10 attempts (it could be less, depending on how you configured it when you created the device lock password) to get it right before your BB wipes itself clean. If, when you connect via USB, you can get your PC display to prompt you for the password, then you can enter it via the PC keyboard...that will reset the counter (it's the same counter regardless of entering the password on the BB keyboard or via the PC keyboard when connected via USB).
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • BB Curve tried 2 new batteries won't charge - battery icon flashes yellow for few seconds then shows a black plug

    BB Curve 9360. Please help.
    My 6 month old battery stopped taking a charge.  Had left to charge overnight from the mains and phone was dead in morning.  Wouldn't turn on or take a charge.
    Had a spare battery from before and tried this.  Charged to 25% and then showed battery icon with black plug and wouldn't take any more.  If unplug and re-plug, shows yellow flash as if charging for a few seconds and then shows black plug.  25% charge runs down very quickly.
    Bought a new battery.  Exactly same experience. Sometimes gets between 5 - 25% charge but mostly is completely dead and not enough power to get beyond red flashing indicator.
    Tried on and off.  Tried taking out battery (many times!).  Tried taking battery out while charging, waiting 30 seconds and then replacing battery (many times).  Tried 3 other chargers, both from mains and from USB.
    Have left it plugged in for hours even when showing black plug or just empty red battery - nothing.  Just dies completely and hard to get enough power to get started again.
    Left it unplugged and without battery for 2 days.  Plugged into mains, got yellow flash and then black plug.  Every time got black plug would unplug and re-plug to get yellow flashing back.  Got it to 80% that time.  But now gone back to only reaches 5% or won't take a charge and just red batterys sometimes with black plug or just empty, red flashing indicator.
    Plugged into BB desktop manager to back up and checked for software updates.  No updates available.
    Only thing I can think is mini USB slot on BB is broken and need a new phone.  Any ideas of anything else to try before bite the bullet???  Thank you!!

  • 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 won't charge

    This is the second Curve in a month that won't charge. USB or wall charger. Charge light comes on and goes off after about a second. Tried various chargers and checked those chargers on other Mini USB type phones. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi PPeldner and welcome to the forums!
    When you got the second phone did you notice if the carrier put the old battery in the new one?
    Please do this,
    Go to OPTIONS STATUS click to enter, and write down the file free and file total numbers, Also the current battery charge level.
    Next:
     Pull the battery while the device is ON, replace after a minute,Let the device reboot 1-3 min, 
    Then check the numbers again and  of the battery too, and send them to me.
    OK?

  • 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 ?

  • All my windows live messenger contact have disappeared of windows messenger and appeared in my phone contact list on my curve 9360, Why, and how can I get them back where they should be?

    I went onto windows live messenger today and all my contacts have disappeared from it, but I also noticed that they had somehow now appeared in my curve 9360 phone contacts. How did this happen, and how can I get them back into windows live messenger and out of my phone contacts on my phone? This is driving me crazy, can anybody help please?
    My phone is the curve 9360, OS is 7.0.0 bundle 2259 And it was purchased Easter Monday
    Thanks.

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.
