  • 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.)

    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.

  • In my BlackBerry Curve 8520 any applicatio​n is not working

    Hello..
    My name is Hamza Qureshi. I am using blackberry curve 8520.
    My service provider is Airtel Prepaid.I am facing some problems when i am using 2g plan in my curve 8520 then except browser not a single application is not working like (whatapp, wechat, line, operamine browser) not a single 1. May i know the reason?
    I had reset my phone last month and from that point of time i m facing the same problem infact the wifi is also not working, when I connected my phone with the wifi of my home is shows that its connected but its not working. 
    I thought the problem is that my blackberry id and bis plan is not activated in then i recharge it for 1 week and create by bb id and that particular period of 1 week I downloaded the application but after that I am facing the same problem so can any one help me in this.
    Right now i am using 2g plan but except browser nothing is working not a single application nor a wifi.
    please help me I wanted to use these app on 2g plan not on BB plan or airtel.
    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.

  • HELP PLEASE! Blackberry curve 8520 - keep getting stuck on "white screen"

    Hi i only have this blackberry curve 8520 for like 3 days and already its getting stuck on the "white screen" i experienced this problem with my previous blackberry and after several battery removals it broke and wouldnt turn on again and NOW this new blackberry with the same white screen problem! please HELP ME ANYONE PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!
    thanks  

    Do you have a media card installed? If so, remove the battery while the phone is powered on, remove the media card (leave it out), then reinsert the battery and let the phone fully reboot. See if that makes a difference or not.

    Go to Solution.

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

  • BlackBerry Curve 8520 stuck in alt mode

    My BlackBerry Curve 8520 got wet a few days ago, it's since been left to dry out with all parts removed on top of my Virgin Media box. I checked for damage today & it appears to be working fine, apart from the fact that it's stuck in alt mode.
    Any suggestions on how I can get it out of alt mode? The button doesn't appear to be stuck. The 'alt' icon in the corner changes to '123' when I select the left shift button, but when deselected it changes back to alt mode.
    I've done a few battery pulls, removed all third party applications & re-installed its OS. 
    To be able to type normally with letters I have to either hold down the 'return/back' button, 'X' 'V' or 'B' button, or the '$' button. Whilst holding these I can select whether I want 'alt' or not, but then it returns when I let go anyway.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
    Was using the phone just on BB messenger, holding '$' button to type letters & the alt mode went off on its own! Hope it doesn't come back now!

    Hi!
    When this happened to me, I searched endlessly for a solution but I couldn't find anything that didn't involve going to a repair centre or taking my phone to pieces. I was hoping for a simple solution! I was really frustrated as my phone's relatively new and well looked after and I couldn't do a thing. After about an hour of doing everything I could, it fixed itself and I forgot about it.
    Luckily, whwn it happened again I was with my boyfriend who asked me to let him have a look. I was adamant that he wouldn't be able to fix it - I'd tried everything!
    When he handed it back to me, no longer stuck on Alt, I was amazed. Now every time it happens I simply press (hard) and hold the Alt button for a second or two and that fixes the problem! Amazing.
    I just knew I had to post it on here to save people time, anger and money, so I created an account. Hi!

  • Blackberry curve 8520 buttons not reacting properly

    I have just bought a blackberry curve 8520, I have put in my sim card,everything goes fine, but the keyboard was not reacting,only the roller in the centre, now i have seen the posts about taking it out and cleaning it,but I just cannot get it out, the more i try the more it looks like it is getting damaged. But anyway after fiddling around with it. I discovered if I hold the button on the left side of the phone(the voice activation button) then press the back button etc i can control it, and get to the different screens, but obviously this is not ideal. Does any one know how i can sort this problem out? I have gone to options and checked if it has been changed to do this on the keyboard options and it has not, the option is still set to voice dialing. Help Please!!!!!

    Hey ruang007,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    From what you have described this sounds like a hardware issue, I would suggest contacting your point of sale to review warranty and repair options.
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks.

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 won't turn on or charge

    My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on,there was a red light on for a minute! Took out my sim card,memory card & battery and tried to charge it then. It came up for literally one second a drained battery sign. Really don't want to send it away, any help would be great Thanks!

    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.

  • Blackberry curve 8520 doesnt stop vibrating!!!

    Hey; I posted about my blackberry curve 8520 not stop vibrating; but its been like if for about 2 weeks; its really starting to annoy me now; ive even tried a new battery; can anyone please help me; i really regret buying this crappy phone!

    (Goes well with a crappy attitude, eh?)
    While you do have a previous thread running on this same issue, I'll offer my advice here anyway...
    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 can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. 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
