Not your usual trackball failure - 8100

Now I've heard from many people that their trackball wasn't scrolling properly anymore after a while. Usually the reason was dust collected somewhere underneath the trackball.
Since Saturday I am experiencing something I haven't been able to find anywhere online so far:
- My trackball works perfectly fine for scrolling, but the "selection" function, i.e. pressing the trackball down, does not work anymore.
- Furthermore, all functions that involve pressing two keys at the same time, e.g. Alt+Enter to change the language when writing an email, don't work anymore. Likewise, I cannot hold shift and type a series of capital letters, but have to press shift and let go before typing each letter and then press again for the next letter instead.
I've tried taking out the battery to restart the device, I've also wiped the device (options, security, advanced options, menue, wipe device). That has reset my device basically to virginity, but the problem still remains.
Any ideas what might be wrong here? I am thinking that it shouldn't be a hardware error, since all the keys (except for the trackball) are working perfectly fine individually.
Is this just some weird setting I accidentally changed and can't find again now, or what could it be?
Thanks for your help!
Lars

It sounds like a software fault. Even more so if nothing is behind the trackball to cause it getting stuck.
You need to download the latest version for your device from the carrier the phone was sold with.
Save the folder to your desktop, double click it to install it your computer. (can take 40 mins to download)
Then you connect up the blackberry and using the program called application loader,(which is built into the desktop manager program that came on the cd) push the new software to the device. Ensure when you see an 'advanced' box, you click into it, to check both check boxes to remove all current installed software.
Here is a list of software carrier sites:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/do ... _sites.jsp
And Also
Use BlackBerry Application Loader to install BlackBerry Device Software
Good Luck and let us know how you go..
9/10 times this is a software fault.
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
OR
If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

  • Why does my ipod touch 4g do this when i plug my headphones in? (not your usual headphone question)

    Can anybody help me out? I bough my Ipod Touch on December 26th at about 11 am. I took it home registered it all all of that stuff, downloaded some apps and put music onto it. I then proceeded to use my headphones with my ipod and everything worked fine. Then at about 9:30 pm i went to listen to my music once again and when i plugged in my headphones the weirdest thing happens. The screen changes to the black screen with the apple logo on it (like the one after you restart your ipod) but it also has a little (i would call it) buffering symbol (the circle made up of 12 individual lines) located at the bottom of the apple (Apple logo). That screen stays up for 5 seconds and then switches to my lock screen which stays up for only 1 second and then the cycle begins again. It never ends! I don't understand!!! I didn't even have it up and operating for 12 hours!! I am looking to see if anybody has any ideas about what to try. I have tried doing all of the below:
    - switching off the password lock
    -switching the lock to 'never'
    -restarting my ipod
    -turning it off and then plugging in my headphones then turing the ipod back on
    -started playing a song over the speaker and then plugged in the headphones
    -turned off all applicaitons etc.
    11
    *** The headphones still work I can hear an alert sound through them as the screens change, and i have tried a multitued of different headphones with my ipod***
    i am in the middle of downloading the latest version of itunes/software for my ipod because i am also trying to get imessages-- i was hoping that that would work to get it on there- and now i am hoping it works for my headphone problem (do you think it will) .
    *** as soon as i unplug my headphones the ipod goes back to the lock screen, i unlock it, and it works normally (even if i dont have the lock screen/password turned on)
    please please please please help This is my first ipod touch and i have no idea how to solve this problem
    **ps if you can tell me how to get imessages that would be awesome too

    Not an expert, but plug it into your computer.  If it comes up hit sync.  Unplug it and see if it works, if not, plug in again and hit reset (I don't have the screen in front of me, but I know you get a main screen on iTunes you get an opption to upgrade or reset.)  When you reset it's kind of like nuking and paving.  It will erase your internal memory completely and reinstall everything on it.  Make sure you have updated your computer using software update first.  It takes a while, but that should fix it.

  • Not your usual "Windows won't recognize my iPod" post . . .

    My problem's unique, I fear. My 5G, 80gig iPod works perfectly when off the computer. When I connect it to a USB port (I've tried all of them), nothing happens, although the unit does receive a charge. No plug-and-play sound, no disk drive listed in the drive list, nothing shown in the device drivers list, etc. The wrinkle is that a friend's identical iPod, when connected to my same computer, is recognized just fine in both Windows and iTunes.
    So it's clear there's something going on with my iPod, and not with my computer or drivers. Yes I'm using the most up-to-date software and firmware, and I've tried all of Apple's suggested fixes for unrecognized iPods, though like I said, other iPods seem to work fine on my system.
    Any advice, short of getting a replacement from Apple?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    yes, I have this exact same issue. I have a 30gb 5th gen (i think), doing exact same issues as above. To make worse, this first began to happen when I purchased new computer, and some how when trans library, my ipod only downloaded songs that i purchased, but not my library, and it deleted on my ipod, so my ipod only has 30 of the 1,500 songs in my library. I can't believe there is no solution to this, I have been searching all over, including previous threads on this site, I have been through all the fix's, and nothing. This must be an ipod issue, as i have tried it on 6 computers, and the exact same result...the windows message that the usb device is malfunctioning. If anyone has any idea's it would be most helpful.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • Node failed to join the cluster because it ould not send and receive failure detection network messages

    One of my customers has a Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster for an Exchange 2010 Mailbox Database Availability Group.  Lately, they've been having problems with one of their nodes (the one node that is on a different subnet in a different datacenter) where
    their Exchange databases aren't replicating.  While looking into this issue it seems that the problem is the Network Manager isn't started because the cluster service is failing.  Since the issue seems to be with the cluster service, and not Exchange,
    I'm asking here. 
    When the cluster service starts, it appears to start working, but within a few minutes the following is logged in the system event log.
    FailoverClustering
    1572
    Critical
    Cluster Virtual Adapter
    Node 'nodename' failed to join the cluster because it could not send and receive failure detection network messages with other cluster nodes. ...
    It seems that the problem is with the 169.254 address on the cluster virtual adapter.  An entry in the cluster.log file says: Aborting connection because NetFT route to node nodename on virtual IP 169.254.1.44:~3343~ has failed to come up. 
    In my experience, you never have to mess with the cluster virtual adapter.  I'm not sure what happened here, but I doubt it has been modified.  I need the cluster to communicate with its other nodes on our routed 10. network.  I've never experienced
    this before and found little in my searches on the subject.  Any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I suspected an issue with communication on UDP port 3343. Please confirm the set rules for port 3343 on all the nodes in firewall and enabled all connections for all the profiles
    in firewall on all the nodes are opened, or confirm the connectivity of all the node.
    Use ipconfig /flushdns to update all the node DNS register, then confirm the DNS in your DNS server entry is correct.

  • PPS dynamic filter creation - not your normal thing but we need a solution, dont think Performance Point can handle it!

    My challenge at the moment is that I need to create a dynamic filter. To explain this is a cascading filter but not your normal cascading filter,
    ie, Year/Month/day etc.
    Here we have a single Dimension, Organisation. It contains every level of a business,
    Site,
    Dept, 
    Company name,
    Division
    Holding
    Strategic Area
    From these as a default we have 4 built hierarchies with a different combination of the above.
    Activity (Strategic Area, Dept)
    Organisation (company Name, site, Dept)
    Sites (Division, Site)
    Holdings(Holding, Strategic Area, site, Dept)
    At any given time we have have additional Hierarchies created within the Dimension, further adding to the hierarchy list.
    We now have a challenge where we require our users to be able to in the first filter select the Hierarchy they want to use, ie, Holdings, Site, Organisation
    or Activity. This should then cascade to the second filter and contain the relevant hierarchy and levels as a multi select filter. Of course this also needs to be connected to number of graphs, charts and scorecards on the page, dynamically. 
    I have gone around the houses to get this to work but not having any luck. Tried the variety of filters available, MDX, member selection, tabular,
    SharePoint, and attempted to mix and match to get this to work. I cannot find a way but I don't believe this is not possible.
    If it is not possible we must look around for another front end solution for our BI Dashboards which I would prefer to avoid. Any response or suggestion
    would be much appreciated.

    Sheb

  • Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

    Hello,
    We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
    If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
    Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
    WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
    It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
    This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
    As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
    Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
    Kind regards
    Udo

    Hello,
    Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
    Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
    It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
    Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
    In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
    - Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
    - Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
    - GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
    - CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
    - After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
    - Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A

  • This is Not Your Primary iCloud Account

    When I go to System Preferences -> iCloud, it says "This is not your primary iCloud account."  I've seen this problem mentioned here a few times, but no answers, so I'll ask again.  What does that mean?  I was not aware I had more than one iCould account. The iCloud prefs panel only shows the one account, which is apparently not the primary one.  The Details.. button does nothing.  The Account Details button just shows the name on the account.  How do I find out what my other iCloud account(s) is? Where did this other account even come from?  How can I set my primary account so it works on my Mac?
    Curiously, in the iCloud Settings on my iPad it says nothing about a primary account, and shows Bookmarks, iCloud storage, etc. all available (not available on my Mac).  It shows the same name and email as my Mac does for the account, but no mention of it not being a primary account.  Even more curious, I now seem to have 20 GB of storage through 9/30/50!

    I had the same notice on my iMac. I checked my iPhone and that is where my primary account is happening. In my iPhone Settings > General > Usage, scroll down to iCloud click on Manage Storage > Change Storage Plan. This is where you will find what your storage is, and what you can purchase to upgrade.

  • Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

    Hi people
    it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
    Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
    Console looks like this:
    Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
    Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

    I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
    Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
    Cheers,
    Daniel

    I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
    To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
    And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
    It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
    I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..

    When the problem occurs, the stored procedure returns @ID = 0, which I think means the query
    When the problem occurs, the procedure does not return anything. SQL Server was told to stop executing. Furthermore, unless you issue the command SET XACT_ABORT ON, SQL Server will not roll back any open transaction. Which is one more reason you should not
    permit command timeouts.
    As for why this procedure sometimes take a long time, I would primarily suspect locking. When this occurs (but before the timeout elapses!), you could use my beta_lockinfo to see if there is any blocking going on. You find it here:
