Help! Blackberry Curve 8530 won't go to Home screen only stays at carrier screen!

The other day I updated my Quick Pull app. I forgot to reset the times in which i wanted it to reboot. Last night I remembered and set the time. I normally set it for 3, but since it was 3 it wouldn't be able to reboot until this evening. After I was done with my phone, I rebooted it manually by going to the app and clicking reboot. My battery was also low in the red so I stuck the charger in it. When I woke up this morning my phone was dead, if had fell on the floor and the charger came out. I put the charger back in a waited a little while for it to charge. When it came on, it only went to the Cricket screen, but would not go to the home screen. I took the battery out multiple times, I waited patiently, yet my phone is still stuck on the cricket screen.. Is there anyway to reset it so that it can work again? 

Please try this first:
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.

  • Help Blackberry Curve 8530 won't join calls!

    Okay so I have the curve 8530 and when I am on a call and another call comes in and I want to conference I can't. I can flash between the calls but add participant only allows me to add call from contact list.  Thanks for the replies.

    The "conference call" option only works if YOU are the one in the middle, so to speak, and initiating the calls to each party. If you are RECEIVING a call, you cannot initiate a conference with someone else from that call.
    You would call person #1, then flash and call person #2, then flash again and all three of you are connected.
    To conference with an INCOMING call, the person calling YOU would have to initiate the three way calling.
    I hope that makes sense....

    A soft reset may resolve the issues outlined on your post. To perform a soft reset on your phone please follow the instructions below:
    Remove battery with phone ON. Replace battery after 10 seconds. Power phone ON. Allow phone to complete the applications registration.
    Please keep in mind that Smartphones are like computers and from time to time they will stop responding due to multiple factors including the amount of applications running at the same time, the amount of media saved and the amount of memory available, and just like our computers need to be rebooted, our phones need to be rebooted from time to time.

  • HELP! My Blackberry Curve 8530 won't reboot

    Last night, my blackberry was freezing up, so I took the battery out to reboot it. I fell asleep with it rebooting on the charger, but when I woke up around eight hours later it still wasn't finished rebooting. The white line was only about 3/4 of the way full and it wasn't moving, so I took the battery out to reboot it again. It was going fine until it reached that spot again, and stopped about 3/4 of the way full. I took the battery out for an extended period of time and tried again, but the same thing happened. What shoud i do?

  • Blackberry Curve 8530 won't let me set up my email

    When I go to the Setup file, thre is no icon for my email set up.  When I go to the setup wizard for my email, it doesn't give me the option for my personal email - only for a corporate account.  Help! I want my email on my phone!

    Hi,
    First, try to remove the battery and keep it out for at least 30 seconds.  Then put it back in and allow your device to restart.  See if that works.  If not, lets try something else.  We will now resend your service books.  Normally, you do this under Email Settings, but obviously, you can not do that route.  So, you need to resend your host routing table.  On your device, go to Options>Advanced Options>Host Routing Table.  Now, press the Menu key(button to the left of the trackpad) and select Register Now.  It will take a moment, but your device will be re-registered with the Blackberry Internet Service and you should recieve your service books, which will give you the option for Email Settings.  Hope this helps,
    Doc

Not sure what to do next-

  • Blackberry Curve 8530 text issues, please help!

    I have a problem opening some texts on my blackberry curve 8530, most of the texts i get are threaded and i can read them fine. When I get texts from certain people and i open it, its just black and i cannot see any text so I have to forward the text to my phone to see what the person has texted me.  Then i have to delete the text i forwarded to myself otherwise it wont work the next time i send another fwd text to myself to see what they said. It happens consistently with the same people in my contact list.  Most people are fine, but theres a few people i text that this happens with and it happens every time they text me. Ive looked through settings and I have no idea how to fix this or how to change it. Its getting really old to have to fwd the texts people send me back to my phone to read them every time they text  me. Can anybody please help me????? It would be much appreciated.  Please please help me with this or explain to me whats going on with it.  I have no other problems with my phone other than my screen freezing up every once in a while.
    Thanks so much!
    Diana

    Diana, the first thing I would suggest before doing something more invasive like a device wipe and restore is a simple reboot:  With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    See if the issue perists.

  • BLACKBERRY CURVE 8530,, help me ASAP.. P L E A S E

    So I had this blackberry curve 8530 for about a week already. I like this device, but it does not let me send or receive picture messages. I need help ASAP...  P L E A S E

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Picture Messaging (technically, MultiMedia Messaging Service -- MMS) is a function of your contract with your mobile service provider (Sprint). You must subscribe, from them, to a plan level that is adequate to include MMS (and any other services you desire). As such, discussing this with them would be the best approach. See this for general guidance:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    Again, that is only general -- with hundreds of carriers in the world each with dozens of different data plans, only they can answer specifically about what should and what should not work.
    If they tell you that you are subscribed to an adequate data plan, then don't let them fob you off. After all, you pay them for 100% of your services and 100% of your formal support...you should insist that they deliver both.
    Good luck!

  • HELP!!!! Can't Open Picture attachments on my email on BlackBerry Curve 8530

    I am having many problems with my new blackberry curve 8530.  I just purchased this last week and can't seen to be able to view my pictures that my brother sends me from across the country of my brand new nephew. I NEED HELP!!  I called Bell Mobility and talked to them for 40 mins and I got no where. 
    Can someone help me!!!!

    Where are you clicking to view the image, like I asked.
    At the bottom of the email, ON the attached file?
    Try that.
    You might need your BlackBerry Attachment Service Books re-pushed to the device, although your not being able to SEND an image sorta makes me think that is not the issue.
    Anyways, do this:
    On your BlackBerry device, go to:
    1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
    2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
    From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
    Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
    Now, try retrieving a picture again.
    From your desktop PC:  http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
    WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
    3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

  • Blackberry curve 8530 wont accept password

    I have had a blackberry curve 8530 since march and it is now july! Everything has worked until now when i tried to install the desktop manager and it wouldnt accept my password. I tried 10 times and now it says "last attempt" and i don't want my phone to reset everything! Pleas help me!!!! I don't know what to do!!! (P.s i haven't backed up my phone!)

    Hi 85curve30,
    If you have any numbers in your device password and don't hold in the Alt key when entering them on the device, try entering the corresponding letters on those keys on the PC when it asks for the password for your connection to the Desktop Software.

  • V5.0 software update for Blackberry Curve 8530

    I updated my virgin mobile blackberry curve 8530 to the v5.0 software update , but the sms text DOES NOT look anything like the BBM chat. It hasn't changed at all from the last version . That's the whole reason why I updated it. Please help . Thank you .

    That's one way to do it... you could also do it Over The Air (Options - Advanced - Wireless Update) or you could download the file and install the update via Desktop Manager. One word of caution though... personally I recommend the OS 5.0  .459 update not the .654... There are many posts on many forums detailing why people have issues with .654 (I'm one of them and I downgraded from .654 to .459). Of note, loss of the manual standy feature and changing the keyboard lock methods, and the trade-off of battery life over reception.
    You can get the download file starting here and choosing what is applicable to you :

  • My blackberry Curve 9380 won't switch on

    Hi, my blackberry curve 9380 won't switch on and i have had it on charge since last night.  The red light or green light isnt on and it doesnt want to switch on even after i take the battery, sim and SD card out? It is just under a year old.  Can anyone help because i need my phone to be on urgently!!!!

    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!

  • How do you add footers in the BlackBerry Curve 8530?

    I'm actually asking on behalf of my employer.  I wanted to know how to add/create footers using the BlackBerry Curve 8530 model series.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't know what footers are.
    I know what an email signature line is.
    For example, each email you write would have automatically added to the end:
    "Thanks,
    Bob Smith
    Smith Corporation
    111-222-3333 phone"
    That?

  • Certified Pre-Owned Blackberry Curve 8530?

    I'm looking at getting a blackberry curve 8530 and i was wondering, how good are the certified pre-owned ones? In general, are certified pre-owned phones just as good as brand new ones? are certified pre-owned blackberries prone to more defects since they have been used by someone else? i would like to hear anyones personal experience with a certified pre-owned blackberry, thank you.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Verizon forums.  The Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) phones are checked and double checked to be in superb working order.  CPO devices are, for lack of better description, just like new phones.  It will come with the same warranty as a new phone from Verizon.  Myself, I own a CPO Blackberry Bold 9650.  I could not tell it was used when I looked at mine after I received it from Verizon.  If there had been a problem with the phone, it was fixed by RIM and I could not tell what had been wrong with it.  Usually, CPO devices are phones that may have been on display or ones that someone bought but later returned shortly after the purchase.  (See Verizon Wireless' Return Policy and Worry Free Guarantee).   I hope this helps answer some of the questions you may have.  Good luck with your purchase and if this is your first Blackberry, you will love it.

  • My Blackberry Curve 8530 keeps shutting down

    WHy does my BB Curve 8530 keep shutting down every half hour or so? And of course, it takes 9 minutes for it to restart so I am missing calls and texts many times a day. Is it a software thing that can be fixed? I am not upgradeable for another 7 months, so I'm stuck with this phone! Help?

    Hi rowinchrist,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    To rule out any possible software issue that may be causing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8530 smartphone to shut down, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
    For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
    For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
    For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
    Please test to make sure the issue has been resolved before restoring any data from your backup file.
    Thanks.
