PLEASE HELP ME
Thank You

Hey hakmilton,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest contacting your network service provider to look at possible repair and exchange options. Since you tried a new battery and the LED won't come on, we can not even try reloading the device software.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Have followed directions to go through advanced options, host router, register now, etc but its still not working.
Any ideas? Its driving me nuts!

Hi leighpat79
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
Are you able to send any MMS messages from your BlackBerry ?
Try those steps in the same sequence :
1- Register your Handheld .
KB00510 : How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Wait till a Registration messages comes in your message box.
2- Resend your Service Book
KB02830 : Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
( Wait till a Registration Message comes in your message box for each email that you have configured on your device )
3- Then perform a battery pull restart like this while the device is powered On remove your battery wait for a min. then reinsert it back
I assume you alreday have sufficient data plan from your present Carrier which allow MMS or you have to call your carrier to confirm that .Try it and let us know.

Hi shanet88,
Welcome to the Support Community!
If the BlackBerry® Desktop Software is able to connect with your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone, please take a backup of your data then perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
For further instructions, see the following KB article. How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows. www.blackberry.com/btsc/kb11320
If your BlackBerry Curve smartphone is unable to connect with the BlackBerry Desktop Software, please connect your BlackBerry smartphone to the computer without the battery inserted and try to reload the BlackBerry Device Software.
Once the software load has already started, reinsert the battery. This process will remove all data from your BlackBerry smartphone.
For further instructions, please see: How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader. www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10144

My Blackberry curve 8520 wont turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 doesnt turn on and when i try to charge it , there is just the red LED light and the screen shows up some picture which shows a red cross on top of a battery. I also tried to connect this to my computer but it doesnt respong and also try with another blackberry original battery it showing same . but when i put my battery to another blackberry phone that phone is turning on properly . please help asap.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
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 an 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. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?
Solved!

IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
1) From the home screen, select Settings.
2) Select Messages.
3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable. Enabled when set to ON.
Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
1) From the home screen, select Settings.
2) Select General.
3) Select Cellular.
4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
On /Celluar data enabled
Off /Cellular data disabled
Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

Picture messaging help!!!!!!

Ever since I bought my brand new unlocked palm treo 680 I have been unable to receive or send picture messages. My service is through GCI and I have unlimited data texting so that is not the issue. Is there a setting I need to do to my phone to allow this? If so can someone please walk me through it?!

Picture message help!

I tried to send a picture message but it wouldn't go through. I turned off iMessage and set it to go through SMS, but it still wouldn't go through. I then turned on cellular data and it worked. Why is data connection needed? (I'm new to iphone)

MMS & iMessage REQUIRE a data connection. For MMS, that means a cellular data connection, for iMessage either cellular data or WiFi.

Iphone 4 wont save picture messages

I have some pictures that friends have sent me but whenever I try and save them and go to my photos it says "Updating photo library" and the picture wont be there, only a white picture of the text "JPEG".
I have restarted the phone numberous times, updated to the most recent update and yet it still is doing this. Does anyone know of a solution to this? I would like to be able to save these pictures.
Thanks

I'd like to make it a little more clear, all my pics from before are there, just not the new ones I'm trying to save from text messages/internet etc. Also I can not save screen shots and when the camera pics actually do save if you try to click the share button it does the same "saving" bs.

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
