Blackberry Curve 8520 not working correctly

My Blackberry Curve 8520 is not working correctly. It has worked on and off for about 2 days now.
The first thing to stop was the media files - at first it said the SD card was inserted, but couldn't find any files. I've tried repairing the card. Then it is said there was no card inserted. Have taken out and re-entered the card, and formatted it. It now says there is no card inserted again.
Also, Whatsapp and BBM are not working. I can open them, and can type a message, and press send, but no message actually sends.
Plus the screen keeps freezing, will only work again through a battery pull.
I've had the phone for about 3 months.
Please help!

Hello Sarahhelen,
I would suggest backing up and doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339.
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you.

Youtube on Blackberry Curve 8520 only working in 1 certain place.......why???

I can never get youtube to work on my blackberry curve 8520 (orange) except when im at my workplace.
At my work im connected to their wireless network, but im also connected to a wireless newtwork at home yet it doesnt work at home.
It also doesnt work anywhere outside.
Why would it only work in my workplace, something to do with my broadband provider at work? I cant seem to think why that should make a difference?
any help would be great.

It would have been great for you to mention what error you get when trying at home or anywhere outside of your work WIFI. I also have a Curve and I cannot play Youtube on Vodacom, problem is to do with bandwidth allocation by service provider, at work you might have higher bandwidth speed allowing video streaming, check if someone with similar phone on Orange is able to playback Youtube videos. The networks are not willing to release bandwidth for video streaming unless you will be billed extra like some networks do. Hope this solves the issue.

my blackberry curve 8520 will not send or receive sms and calls. is there any way i can reformat the phone so i can start from scratch again. i have tried everything else including asking my provider forn help but nothing helps

Go to Solution.

Did you change anything or do anything on that date?
My guess is there's little you'll be able to do on your end but it can't hurt to make a full backup using Desktop Software and then do the wipe and see what happens. Do you have another device you can put your sim card in and see if text messages show up?

MY blackberry curve 8520 wont work ) :

Hi.
I found an issue with my blackberry 8520 a day ago.
I texted my friend, Before going to sleep The letter key " A " was working perfectly fine.
I woke up the next morning, and i went to put my phone on charge because it was on 11%
When i came back, a friend had left me a message so i was going to reply him. I was going to reply "ya"
and i was stuck with " Y " i couldn't type A at all. With this, my phone would auto lock itself, and i had to press any key till any box would prompt and allow me to continue. I couldn't answer any calls as well. So i did a restart and i couldn't switch back my phone! I then took off the battery and tried it again Nothing helped after that reboot. I have got no idea how i should fix this.

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath, gym locker, sweaty face or pocket can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
Does this sound likely?
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

Blackberry curve 8520 keypad working by itself?

Hi.
Basically, earlier i put my phone down on a wet side, about half an hour later it completely frozen and the keyboard and touchpad wouldnt respond, i connected it to the computer, updated it and it worked fine after, the problem i have now is the letters H and L work completely by themselves and without warning, my phone is still on, works fine except those keys, checked battery and its not water damaged, does anyone know if this will fix itself or will it get worse? will it eventually affect my whole phone?
Any replies would be appreciated, i basically need it to work till monday, i can get a new one then!

Hiya!
Let's check something first.
Remove the battery.
There should be a little square on both the battery and the device where the battery goes.... It should be white.
Is it any other color, such as pink or red?

Blackberry Curve 8520 Keyboard not working

A few months ago the keyboard of my Blackberry Curve 8520 stopped working out of the blue, I checked the water damage indicator and it is was still white. I left the phone and used a spare one, so I knew it was nothing to do with the sim card. Yesterday I decided to check on my blackberry and it worked! Then this morning at 8am the alarm went off, I turned it off and left my phone alone but when I went to use it at 8:30 it had completely stopped working, not even the trackpad. A few hours later the trackpad started working again but that's it, no keys or any of the side buttons.
So now as soon as the screen goes black that's it you have to do a battery pull to get the screen to light up again.
This is very annoying and has been going on since April now and I would really love to know what causes it, anyone know?

If you can tell that it is not a harware issue or what not, then it may be a software issue that can be fixed by a clean reload. Please check the link below to guide you through the steps.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 BIS not connected

Hi,
I got a BlackBerry Curve 8520 at work and for some reason my BIS is not working, it says not connected and I cannot manage to fix it. The below is what I did so far.
1. Verified with my carrier (MTEL.BG) that I have all necessary data serivices enabled.
2. Restarted the handheld a couple of times (battery pull and waited 30 secs).
3. Resed to factory settings.
Tried to register my device using Host Routing Tables (the table is empty) but nothinh happen.
Called Tech support and they attempted to register my devide without success. They said that probably my handheld have a defect and to replace it.
Somehow I believe that either my carrier or me are missing something and this must be fixable.
Any ideas?
EDIT: My phone signal is always edge but I noticed that workmates (with BIS working) have EDGE instead.
Thanks in advance!

A few thoughts...

Since this is "at work", is it a BES-level BB? If so, then you will need to check with your BES admins...it is possible for them to block BIS services via IT Policy.

That is very indicative. You should receive one message from your carrier when you register the HRT. If not received, then no other things will work. So this must be resolved first.
I suggest, as above, that you talk to your BES admins.
Good luck!

Right now i am using 2g plan but except browser nothing is working not a single application nor a wifi.

So kindly provide me a proper resolution regarding my query.
I am requesting with warm warm warm regards

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Blackberry curve 8520 is not working/rebooting

since last week my blackberry curve 8520 is shut down and not rebooting, I have tried many time but when reboot it an error # 523 accour and set goes held, pls help me that How I can start it

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.
BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
Just select the appropriate device 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.
IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html
or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php
If JL_Cmder does not work, you can try this:

My blackberry curve 8520 has lost all my pictures in the lost.dir folder how do I recover them

I have a blackberry curve 8520 and it has moved all of my pictures on my memory card into a folder called LOST.DIR (I`m not 100% sure they have moved there but I found a lot of files in there that seem to be my pictures) I am not sure how I can recover these files, please help! I`m not sure if it has something to do with the fact that a few weeks ago I was taking a picture and a pop up came up and said something along the line of there wasn`t enough memory on my SD card so pictures will save on device memory and I clicked yes. I`ve taken out the SD card and battery several times and that hasn`t worked. I took someone else`s advice an moved the folder into the DCIM folder where I was able to rename one file to . jpeg but I cannot open it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tosin29188,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Are you able to locate this folder when accessing the media card from a PC or Mac? Also are the pictures files renamed to a different extension? (For example: Picture.rem)
Are you able to open the media files up on a computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
