Camera - Torch 9800 - Unable to capture the image

Hey everyone!
Had a torch 9800 for 18 months now and always been working fine... until today.
I went to use the camera and it all seemed to open up fine but instead of seeing what the lens sees the screen was black. The centre focus [ ] was there and I could zoom back and forth just a black screen.
When I click for a photo I get a message " Unable to capture the image "
I have searched the web and found nothing conclusive. Battery pulls, a full wipe and installation of the o/s have made no difference to it's lack of function.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion?

I am having the exact same issue. I also tried rebooting, taking out the battery and sim card and cleaning out the back, alas no difference.

Torch 9800 ''email set up icon not responding'' ... unable to edit or set up email accounts.

Torch 9800, Network provider, O2 UK.
Although my BlackBerry service with O2 is connected and working as normal, I am totally without email on my Torch 9800. I have owned the Torch 9800 since March. All has been well until last week when I changed the password on one of the 3 email accounts I had set up on my device. This password change left one of the accounts unable to send or receive mail, and is also what lead me to discover that I could not enter email set up on my device or via my network providers website ( www.o2email.co.uk ) .
I have spent hours on the phone with O2 discussing this issue. The usual checks and procedures have been carried out, battery pulls, checking settings etc and the service books have been deleted and resent several times. These actions have not resolved the problem but instead led to the loss from my device of the other 2 email accounts which were working correctly but have now disappeared into thin air. Having tried all possible solutions with O2 I now come here looking for an answer.
When I visit my Network Providers BlackBerry mail service trying to create an account using my pin etc, I am without fail getting a pop up box containing the error message ''Your account is not accessible via HTML browser. Please use your devive to access BlackBerry Internet Service'' !? The result is the same whether I log in from my device over 3G or Wireless, or from a PC (have tried several browsers) .
On my device, when I click on the Email Accounts icon from the setup menu nothing happens, no response at all. I have tried many times and there is just no way to set up or edit mail accounts. I am without mail on my device and growing increasingly short of patience.
I am now hoping somebody here can offer me some advice on how to resolve this issue. What use is a BlackBerry without email capabilities ? I see from researching email set up problems on the Torch 9800 that I am not alone here so if somebody at BlackBerry is listening ? If this is a Torch 9800 issue then I am sure you will be doing all you can to resolve this but in the meantime PLEASE help by offering a solution to the issues I have mentioned.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums, bs342!
Well, since you searched the forums, you are undoubtedly aware that the problem you report is unfortunately a common one these days. The good news is that RIM is definitely aware of and working on the problem.
First, let's try something on your computer. What browser are you using? Your problem there might just be as simple as clearing cache in your browser, then closing and reopening the browser to try the website again.
If that doesn't work, try this:
From your device's browser, go to mobile.blackberry.com. Select your country of choice, then go to Communicate>Email. Scroll down to Other Personal Email and click on Integrate Now, then Launch Email Setup. You should be able to integrate your e-mail accounts that way until RIM has fixed this issue.
Please let us know how it goes!

How can i find out serial no of torch 9800 without the phone.

How do I find out serial no of my torch 9800 without the physical phone ( is it in the packaging to the brand new phone?) so that I can report it being stolen and alert anyone buying a stolen hanset in 2nd hand Market. Who should I report it having been stolen after repotted it having been stolen to the police.

Your cell carrier would have a record of it. They might even blacklist the phone so nobody else can use it.
Give them a call to see what they will do for you.

No longer able to locate the Twitter icon anywhere on my Torch 9800

I have Twitter version 4.0.0.15 installed on my Torch 9800 and have been using Twitter frequently for the past six months or so. For some reason I can no longer find the Twitter icon anywhere. Not in "All", "Favourites", "Frequent" or Downloads. I have tried uninstalling, re-installing, pulling the battery for a reboot (both with the Blackberry turned ON as well as with it OFF), all to no avail. This just started the other day. At about the same time, or shortly before this problem started, I upgraded the News/sports app "Canoe". Thinking that it might have been this upgrade that is causing the problem, I currently have Canoe uninstalled and went through the same procedures but have been unable to correct it.
Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, how did you correct it? I miss using Twitter.
Thanks much!

TORCH 9800 - Calendar and Contacts no longer syncing with Google

Hi. I got my Torch 9800 (software version 6.0) in April and up until a couple of weeks ago, no problem syncing two-ways with Google calendar and contacts. For some reason, sometime over the past two weeks they have stopped syncing. I still receive Gmail on my Torch, no problem. Strangely, if I am sent an invitation for an event on my Google calendar, it still shows up on my device AND my Torch, However it does not sync if I create it myself, in either direction (if I create on the device, it does not show on Google calendar, and vice versa). It is set to sync wirelessly. PLEASE HELP!!!! The calendar is the main reason I even have a BlackBerry!! TIA.

I have almost the same problem since I upgraded to 6.0 B2647. If the invitation is sent to me from someone else and I get it as an email, I can accept the meeting request and it is added to my BB but it is still not added to my gmail calendar. I have 8 accounts synched with my BB, 4 of them gmail accounts, 2 of them have gmail calendars.
I just got off the phone with Rogers BlackBerry support where I was told that I should backout the upgrade and the tech support guy (Peter) was unable to tell me what version I should go back to. BB DTM knows though but I'm reluctant to go back.
It was a Rogers specific upgrade! The upgrade itself went badly. I couldn't upgrade wirelessly and when I did the upgrade using DTM the software upgraded but the restore failed. I was able to restore some of my information (password keeper - thank goodness!) but I lost a number of updated address book entries and have had to reenter them manually as people contact me (or I call them if I know their number).
I worked for RIM for 10+ years and this is one of the worst upgrades I've had and I used to run early pre-release versions all the time.
I've tried:
-- turning off wireless calendar sync and then turning it back on.
-- deleting the account from my bb and readding it
-- changing the default account to my gmail account for calendar and contacts and email
Nothing has worked so far, especially talking to the Rogers rep!

AW version 4.3.0.26 installation story on a Torch 9800

This story began when I received a message that AW version 4.3.0.26 was available. I have a Torch 9800 with software version 6.0.0.706 and for the last 2 years every time I tried to install a new version of AW I ran into icon issues, either by clicking the AW icon it did not open the AW start up page or the icon could not be found. So I was curious what happen this time.
After I downloaded the new version and clicked the AW icon the app did not open. I checked the 'Application Management 'info and alas: AW was installed but already running showing CPU time had accumulated, i.e. AW was stuck in a loop.
I then tried to recover by pulling the battery a few times and uninstall/reinstall the AW software but to no avail. (This often is a quick fix but mostly not for a Torch 9800).
The only way I knew how to solve this issue was to wipe the phone but with an 'auto restore' feature for my current data. While this method wipes one's phone, i.e. it removes first all current device information and applications it is smart enough to reload all your device info and all apps including the paid apps later automatically.
I call this method 'auto restore'. A classic wipe leaves your phone with no data as suggested in other threads but then one has to reload  the backup data file by hand to restore stuff but it does not restore your apps automatically and is quite cumbersome.
Here are my initial conditions:
I have the newest DTM (Desktop Manger Software) installed, e.g. version 7.1.0.41
I have a copy of my current device software on my (Windows XP) PC
I made a backup file of my current data and apps
I had previously installed a valid ID
I installed the newest AW version, e.g. 4.3.0.26 (but with issues)
Here are my actions:
1) I selected 'Update' on DTM under 'Device' on the main DTM screen getting this message:
An updated BlackBerry Desktop Software component must be installed before you can continue.
2) I selected 'Install'
Windows Installer Window popped up.
Please wait while Windows configures BlackBerry Device Software Updater.
Existing BlackBerry software has been detected on your computer and must be closed before proceeding. Disconnect your device and click OK to close the applications. Otherwise click Cancel to stop the installation.
3) I disconnect my phone and clicked OK.
DTM shut down and then restarted after the BlackBerry Desktop Software component installation was complete.
4) I reconnected my phone and selected again 'Update' on DTM under 'Device' on the main DTM screen getting this message:
There are no BlackBerry Device Software updates available.
5) I unchecked 'Keep me subscribed to email notifications' and selected 'View other versions'. I then selected 'Install' using the currently installed version with the default check mark.
DTM checked again for updates but now I got an 'Update Option' box with 2 default check marks:
6) I unchecked 'Keep me subscribed to email notifications' and then clicked 'Install update'.
7) After the 'auto restore' installation was complete I disconnected my phone and followed all prompts. (Make sure you can receive and send emails before you continue).
I then looked for the AW icon but this time it was not there!!! Normally this 'auto restore' resolved the 'non responsive click issue' but today it did not.
8) I decided to delete the just installed AW version and then reinstalled it. Alas, finally the AW icon appeared and now it was responsive.
I followed the phone's prompts, installed my ID and then initialized my paid apps. It is important to do it in this order (install the ID first) or the paid apps will not work properly.
This 'Update' path method  which leads later to the 'auto restore' resolved my issues and all was good again.
Note: If you have a large music library on your phone as I have make sure it has stopped loading all files before you try to start your ID installation or you get some 'unwanted' messages.
While KB29422  suggests to install App World 4.0.0.55 to avoid the 'no show icon issue' I found that the 'auto restore’ method was always a good work around for either issue to have the latest AW version on my phone.
So this is my today's story which I wanted to share with the community. It might give you some new ideas to try out. I you liked it click either the 'thumb up' or ‘Like button' in the thread. Thx.

I can't send a photo by text - New user, Blackberry Torch 9800

I recently started using the Blackberry Torch 9800 and I'm still getting the hang of things.
This means I'm at the stage where i'm still accidentally muting myself while i leave a phone message or putting people on hold with my ear. If anyone has a master solution for this, that's welcomed, but it's not my main question.
I want to know how to send a photo by text. I've tried, and it comes up with an x next to it, as it hasn't sent.
i looked around the internet and found the suggestion that I resize my images using some app. The app they suggested doesn't exist anymore so I downloaded "Fast Photo Editor Free" and resized my image. It still didn't send. I made it smaller than you'd ever want an image to be, and it still wouldn't send.
To be clear, I can put the photo in the text, but once I push send, the text shows up with a red x next to it.
I'm not really sure what to do.

Problem connecting desktop manager with torch 9800

I have a lot of difficulties with my BB Torch 9800, since I forgot my password (for desktop manager).
Can't connect neither BB Protect to save data nor browse with Google search.
Could somebody help me solve this?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You've got a lot of inter-related and separate issues all mixed up in there. Can you perhaps separate them and provide adequate details of each so that we can perhaps understand and help you?
For example, the Desktop Software password is the exact same one that you use to unlock your BB after you either have caused it to password lock or enough time has passed that it has auto-locked. But that password is totally irrelevant to everything else you've mentioned...and you really need to figure that one out first, as without it, you cannot even use your BB for the other things at all.

BLACKBERRY TORCH 9800

Hello everyone. A few days ago the screen of my blackberry torch 9800 stopped working, if i switch on my phone the keyboard and the red light on the too of the screen work, but the screen stays black. I would like to know if somebody else had this problem and if i have to change the entire screen to solve it or there's something else i can do. Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper 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.
Failing that, 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, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then 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.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may indeed have a hardware problem...for which no amount of OS or Software level "fixes" can be of any use.
Nevertheless, you may want to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

How to block my lost BB Torch 9800?

I lost my BB Torch 9800 few days ago and I have not download/activated the BB Protect feature. There was no password, no lock at all. I also removed my sim so I could not even try to call it. I hope you could help me block the unit in order not to be accessed or used by anyone.
Below are info I got from the box, which I hope could help..?
Pin # [removed]
IMEI [removed]
BT MAC [removed]
I just sent a BBM invitation thinking that someone already has my phone and hoping that I can talk to the one who found it, but still pending. I really don't know if this will help but just trying my luck. I will appreciate any help...
Thanks!
MOD EDIT: Removed personal information to comply with Community Guidelines and Terms and Conditions of Use.

There is nothing we can do here. We do not work for BB. Please remove your personal information from your post as it is not allowed to be posted here (PIN, IMEI, etc.)
Your only recourse for blocking the phone would be with your wireless service provider.
