Red LED frequently flashing

Hi, my girlfriend has a new Curve 8520. Since she got it a few days ago the red LED keeps flashing. It seems to start when she receives a message. She then reads the message, replies etc but the light keeps flashing.
Is this is a fault or is it a strange setting I need to turn off?
Thanks

RED led notifies if you have any unread email, SMS, MMS or missed phone call. If all these are read then this should go off. Moreover, even if you have unread email, SMS, MMS or missed phone call after 15 mins RED led flashing should be stopped.
I would recommend you to have a battery pull device reset and then check the behavior.

Problem burning red led constantly flashes

Hi all this is my first post in this forum....( NEWBIE )
as mentioned in subject Problem burning red led constantly flashes then I recieve a message " error reading data"
the dvd burner is a MSI ms 8404a. using Nero6 and princo DVD -R Win XP-PRO
I have had no problems in the past burning with this media and I'm halfway through a stack of 50...
I dont have any other media here atmo so any help would be great..
Also upgraded firmware with msilive although it said I had the current version..
Cheers in advance ROB
Ok just burnt a cd using nero6 while burning the red led flashed costantly, when finished cd ran perfectly ....??? anyone want ABBA GOLD??
Im sure as that when I used to burn DVD's the red led was solid not flashing....H E L P ....!

I don't understand why the light would be solid and not flashing when burning.
If this is a common problem, it's a problem for me because i'm about to order two MSI DR16-B DVD-RW drives, tell me, is this the drive you have in your system? The one with the problem?
If so i could use some advance warning of the problems i might face.
The previous post is correct, make sure that your Operating System hasn't put the drive into PIO mode, it should be UDMA Mode 2 at least.

Pearl 8130 red led double flash code

After connecting pearlie to macbook pro desktop dude woke up and screamed "downgrade os." I acknowledged and allowed the system to perform downgrade. Something about software only has certain amount of time before it expires. About 7 minutes into downgrade, dude yells, "cannot continue," screen turns off, led goes red and flashes sequence two on, two on over and over steady. Now I'm cut off from outside world, no phone. Chalk up another one for manmade **bleep**. At least 12 hours ago it did an "all" back up, so if I'm having to replace phone (if chances are there's no remedies on this site) I didn't lose everything. Is this Verizon's control over the phone or R.I.M's built in gotcha, buy another phone already tactics? I'm wondering...
Is there a list of error code explanations out there that I(we) can reference to fix this? If not, dumb design. Since the verizon tech's phone number is on the phone, can't reach them either.

No, I know that. What I'm specifically talking about is .....
Say you turn on your BB and the light flashes green a few times .... then ... nothing. No flashing or anything. Yes, if I get a call or a message, it'll flash red, but isn't it NORMALLY supposed to be flashing green all the time (while you're not talking or doing anything on it)?
What I'm trying to find out is ...... is it normal for the green LED light (not counting any calls or email messages I may receive) to not flash at all right after you turn the phone on? OR is it actually SUPPOSED to be flashing all the time? Because, if that's the case, I'm worried if I have a faulty LED light in my phone.

Hello RPIGOTT and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I would back up your BlackBerry data and clear out your Profiles database.
If you need the BlackBerry Desktop Manager you can download it here.
KB23680 will show you how to back your data.
KB10167 will show you how to clear the Profiles data base
After you have cleared the database you will have to re-configure your ring tone settings.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Download dictionary within Kindle app causes Notification red LED flashes like crazy

I'm not sure if it's a Kindle issue or BB10 OS issue, but it was kind interesting on my Z10 when it happened.
I've installed the Kindle app from appworld and I downloaded a free book, touch any content would prompt to download a dictionay for it, confirm it and the Notification red LED started to flash like crazy until the download was completed.
Have a great weekend.

It must have been a thriller that you were downloading 'cause you don't get that from heavy drama novels.

Dell switch 8024F - Front left LED is flashing red - no connect terminal

Hello,
I have a DELL 8024F switch not connected console me.
The console cable is correct.
The LEDs on the switch are as follows:
LED right power source is green.
Left power source does not exist.
LED fans are green.
Front left LED is flashing red.
What can happen?
I have inserted several SFP + and are led as if they were not inserted.
I get the feeling as if you did not initiate the boot process.
Any suggestions?
regards

Hi,
The blinking LED typical means a non critical error, but if you can’t connect to console and it doesn’t recognize any SFP+ transceivers, it could be a more serious error. If you unplug it and then reconnect power is there any change? Have you reseated the power supply and fan modules?

Blackberry 9900 bricked with red LED flashing

My cell phone Blackberry 9900 was bricked last night. No special usage or status before. Now it can't be turned on any more, just the LED flashing. I have tried many ways to re-turn it on, not work. It even can't connect to computer. the computer is able to find it just when the red LED is lighting!
What happened on my phone? What can I do next? I must turn it on!

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!

Phone stuck on loading screen, red LED flashing, will not turn on.

So I just bought this phone two days ago and have not dropped it or anything, it keeps flashing on the loading screen then just turns off and the red LED light goes off like I am receiving a message. It will not start up, i've tried charging it some more, i tried removing the battery and yeah.. i'm just not sure what else to do.
I've had a horrible time with this phone(The guy I purchased it from told me it was activated, then when I called virgin a day later they told me he forgot to...), and im really not sure what to do, please help :/
Thank you, any info is appreciated.

We can certain try troubleshooting. I know that some people may just prefer to send it back if it's not working when they first get it. The steps to reload the OS are as follows:
First download and install the Desktop Manager from here (4.7 without Media Manager is recommended): https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Next download and install the handheld software from here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Afterwards try reloading the OS by connecting the device to your computer, open the Desktop Manager, then go into the Application Loader. This will open a wizard that steps you through reloading the OS onto your device. More detailed steps can be found in here:
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-how-install-or-upgrade-new-rim-operating-system-os
If the device isn't recognized when you plug it into the computer then try using the following 2 methods to reload the OS:

Red LED flashes continuously

I have the BlackBerry Bold 9650, it's a CPO purchased a year ago, used off and on till June, and has been my primary phone since June. Up to now it's been fine, and I've gradually added apps and goodies... Anyway, the last couple of days, it seems when I get a phone call my LED will flash red, endlessly. I cannot find a way to get it to stop short of pulling the battery, and my battery depletes quickly if I don't do this. **additional info - the touchpad becomes very sluggish as well, once I receive a phone call after a battery pull. This is getting to be a bit more than an annoyance, having to pull the battery after every phone call.
There have been numerous app updates the last couple of days too, and one was for BeBuzz, so I'm thinking maybe that's the culprit. It seems to be working normally though (the customized lights for contacts I have set do work) and I've gone through settings and don't see what it could be.
Anyone else have any ideas? Or a simpler/faster way to get that red LED to stop flashing? I checked all messages, emails, missed calls, etc and I cannot figure out what is making the LED blink so I can shut it off!!

Hi SuzyQ! I'm used to you resolving everyone else's issues, (LOL, yeah, me too!) so I'll be more than happy to help you with your Blackberry. First, I just want to make sure you have the latest software version on your Bold, which was released 1/10. I believe that update was for the 9930 - I've got the 9650. I am running OS 6.0 and it says my software is up to date. If not, here are some options to manually download the update and also a list of the benefits of the update. If you do have the update already, do you notice this starting afterwards?
Do you have any missed calls, voicemails or new emails when this happens? No, I check all of those and cannot find anything I haven't opened or checked! That's the frustrating part - not knowing why that light is flashing so I can turn it off. Try removing BeBuzz to see if the LED is still flashing and keypad sluggish after receiving calls. I may just have to do that, though I'm using the paid version - I'll back up all my contacts first because I do NOT want to have to set them all up again. I don't get a lot of phone calls - mostly text and email, but it's annoying when it happens.
I have not seen any other reports of this issue. If the issue is still occurring after updating software and removing BeBuzz, then I suggest backing up the phone and completing a security wipe on the Blackberry. Would really rather not go there if I don't have to! Make sure to test making and receiving calls before restoring your data, to make sure no corrupt data is restored. I would recommend backing up just the important info like contacts, calendar, emails, etc.

Thanks for the response Marquia - I was just thinking it hasn't happened today, but then, I haven't gotten a phone call today either. So it may still be an issue. I think I'll wait a few more days and see if it continues to happen or if it was just a weird glitch. I really am enjoying the Bold, and this is really the first problem I've come up against! I'll let you know when / if it gets resolved and what works or doesn't work.

When I wake up, I have email, but no flashing red LED!

Last night, I plugged the charger into my 8900, saw the clock displayed, and went to sleep. When I woke up this morning, I had 4 new emails and 2 text messages, but the LED was still blinking green, not red. Had I not looked at the 8900's screen, I would not have know there were messages waiting for me.
I searched the forums on this issue, and came across one post which said exiting the bedside mode by bypassing the clock application's "Exit Bedside Mode" option can cause this.
All I can think of, is that I might have set it to Bedside Mode (which turns off the LED) and then pressed the MUTE button to put it in standby. I remember seeing the message dialog box show up saying the phone was entering standby mode, but the message never went away. I cleared the dialog box by pressing the red End Call button. I think the phone may also have exited Bedside Mode at that time, or I may have manually exited it via the clock's option. My guess is that this is what caused the LED not to flash red after receiving messages. Unfortunately, I've been unable to replicate the error using this method, or any combination thereof.
Any ideas?

The blinking red LED blinks ONLY for about 15 minutes after receipt of a message or email. Unless you had received the email and SMS in the 15 minutes prior to your waking, there is no reason your LED should have been blinking.

Help! Curve 8300 not responding at all....flashing red LED.

Help!
My friend was trying to install a theme on my blackberry curve 8300 with her laptop and her blackberry manager. She was trying to sync when a message popped up saying it was deleting applications so she hit cancel and disconnected.
Since she disconnected the USB i have a black screen and flashing red LED. No response when I hit the power button. No response from taking the battery out, waiting, putting the battery back in. No response with ALT-SHIFT-DELETE.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Error 507 simply means the device has no operating system on it.
Basically, you need to load an OS to the BB....

Luna BH-220 Flashing red led for hours

I just received my two Luna head sets. The first one charged up fine and did the NFC pair no problem, but the second unit seems to be having a problem.
The second one just flashes the red led when it is in the cradle. The Led on the cradle is green. The red led on the ear piece turns off if I remove the charger, but just returns to flashing when I plug it back in. This has gone on for the past 5 hours. How do I get this unit reset? What does the flashing LED mean? Both units had very sparse information in the box and I can not find the user manual anywhere on the Nokia support site. The Luna isn't even listed in the support accesories section. Maybe it's too new??.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

UPDATE: finally managed to get nokia to return my THIRD broken nokia bh-220 bluetooth device, as I purchased it from amazon.
Filled out the necessary online form and sent it to FONEBIZ for the repair (authorised nokia repairs).
Two days later, I receive a phone call saying that the device is NOT covered and I am to pay a whopping $170 for them to REPLACE my green device for a BLACK ONE. (See attached photo for proof). Please bare in mind that I only paid $57 for my green nokia luna BRAND NEW. So where FONEBIZ get thier estimate from is simply outrageous.
When I contacted Nokia, they said their customer service represented was wrong, and she shouldn't have given me the details to return the item. Once again NOKIA, WHERE ARE YOUR BRAINS HERE.?
NOTE
DO NOT BUY NOKIA PRODUCTS PERIOD
DO NOT RETURN ITEMS TO FONEBIZ THEY WILL SIMPLY RIP YOU OFF, AND ARE CLEARLY INCOMPETENT AT REPAIRING BLUETOOTH DEVICES. SO I WOULDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO LET THEM REPAIR A PHONE.
NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL ME OR MY FAMILY PURCHASE A NOKIA PRODUCT. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THEM.
And I encourage, whoever is reading this, to just acknowledge she sheer hell I've been through just for a simple cheap bluetooth device, and just make sure your aware of the risk when buying a more expensive product. Nokia didn't give a second thought to my bad luck. Why would they treat you any different.
WE ARE JUST MONEY TO THEM...
