Strange issue, garbage text appearing curve 8520

Hi All,
Strange problem, when using only the facebook app thing, and also on the facebook website, but not any others..
When I type a word, text appears fine, but as soon as I press 'i' and then space, a load of junk text appears, to be specific:
ItrrtiTjffhdgfwfWtETeeeTyl11/14/2010Uu
Any idea at all what this is???

so anytime you press "i", all that garbage text appears?
Check your Options > AutoText and see if you have some odd entry for the letter "i".

Can't get into text application (Curve 8520)

Hi. When I use the trackball to highlight the text icon and then press the it to open the application, all that happens is that the trackball stops working until I press the red "hang up" button. In any case I can't get into my texts. Any ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

Issues with EDGE connection - Curve 8520

Hi!!
I have been having problems with the Blackberry EDGE internet connection on my phone for the past 3 months. I thought it may be a problem with my mobile provider, Yoigo, but they have told me they don't know what's wrong and cannot fix the problem.
The connection shuts itself off randomly without warning and I no longer receive emails, fb notifications or whatsapp messages. I know that it has stopped because 'EDGE' in the top right hand corner turns to lower case 'edge'. In order to fix it I have found that I have to go to host routing table in options and re-register myself with the Blackberry Internet Service, wait for the message to tell me that I am now registered again and then wait... and wait! Sometimes it comes back after 5 mins, other times I have to re-start the device after 1 or 2 hours.
Does anyone know how I could fix this issue for good, because this happens at least twice a day now and it's driving me crazy!!
Appreciate it!! Thanks in advance!
Laura

Hi LauraM22
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If your Connection drops frequently then it might a problem with your Carrier Network , but still you can perform those steps in a 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- Delete and Resend your Service Book
KB05000 : Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
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
Try it and see if that helps , If problem still Continues then to rule out any software issue you can Reload your device Software , to do that first do a backup of your device using Desktop Software , once it is done you can reload your Device OS , for help refer to this KB :
KB03621 : How to Reload BlackBerry Device Software and application using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Good luck.

Garbage Text Appearing in Address Book

When I try to create a new contact and type in the name any key I press results in "dfgdfgdfgdfgdfgdfg" appearing and I am also unable to edit notes for contacts in address book.
Anyone else have this problem or can suggest how to resolve it?
Regards,
Kerry

I have this same problem; I've created a new user account and the Apple Address Book works fine in that account, so the problem is with my original user settings somewhere. I've deleted the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder with no effect. I've emptied/deleted all info in the Address Book and synced the data down from .mac with no change. I've reinstalled Leopard and updated all the system software. Also deleted the Address Book application and reinstalled it from Optional Installs on the Leopard Installation DVD.
Is there some way to do a complete deletion of Address Book and all its related preferences so a clean install can be performed?

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Battery life issue and Loading icon

Hello, I have an issue with my BlackBerry Curve 8520, the problem is that it has extremely low battery life and half the time it has the loading circle thing in the middle, I first thought it was my batteries fault but after buying a new battery the loading circle thing still comes up but not as much but the battery life is still extremely low (locked or on standby whatever its called it lasts around 2-3 hours, Ive turned off my bluetooth and the problem still remains please help!

Anthony (or anyone else monitoring this thread):
So, what was the outcome of the troubleshooting session with "windycity"?
I don't have a problem with a mysterious icon; however, the anemic battery issue is exactly as windycity described: new charged-up Samsung Haven phone is on; no calls in or out; no text messages either; however, in slightly less than 24 hours, the Haven goes from having a fully-charged battery to one that's dead, or just about.
Like windycity, I bought this simple phone for my father, who just wants a phone he can make voice calls with, nothing more.
However, the sad peformance of this phone+battery has not helped me in my campaign to at least get him to dip his toes into the digital stream -- in fact, he wants me to take it back and cancel the plan!
I'd really rather not do that, but we'll need some kind of resolution to this problem first.

Curve 8520 crashes alot and shows a white screen

I bought my bb in may. Now since a week ago it sometimes crashes the screen turns green and purple and it fades to white. I have to take out my battery and charge it without. Then when the sign of no battery shows I put it back in. When I reboot my bb without taking out the battery first it gets stuck in the process.
But the BB keeps on crashing, and the amount of crashes increase...
help me please?

Hello salgaga and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone.
It would be advised you backup your user data using BlackBerry® Desktop Software and reinstall your software as shown in KB11320 How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows or KB19915 Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer
Before essential data is restored to your Curve, check to make sure you test the performance to ensure the screen is normal. Should the screen still display the alternate colours it would be advised you contact your point of sale for hardware related repairs.
Hope this answers your question.

Issues with text on different OS

Hi,
On the "credits" section of my site,
www.danielwaltermusic.com, I am having an issue with text appearing
differently on OSX vs Windows. On OSX the text appears normally,
with the links located exactly where they are supposed to be. On
Windows XP and Ubuntu 2.22.3 (only systems I've been able to check
it on) the links are located improperly like so:
http://www.danielwaltermusic.com/awoa/siteexample.JPG
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be
great. My web designer is not using dynamic text so that is not the
issue.
Also, if someone could help us figure out how to get the web
player to play songs sequentially (as it is, the player stops after
one song) that would be great.
Thank you so much!

Hi - thanks for your reply.
I try not to use Iphoto, although it does sometimes kick in before i can cancel it. Normally, i copy the records from the card to the Imac hard drive.
I'm assuming the CF card may have been formatted by a previous windows machine at some point. Is this likely to be an issue?

Hello azlanzaid and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having an issue with your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone and Wi-Fi® connections.
Since you do not have the Internet Browser as an option, it would seem your BlackBerry data plan does not include browsing.
You will want to contact your mobile carrier to ensure you have a browsing plan. Once it is activated and the service books are pushed down, you will then have the option to change the browser.
Hope this answers your question.

Curve 8520 is total garbage

This co. has now been reduced to making junk phones. The Curve 8520 I "upgraded" to is junk compared to the simple Curve 8310 I had. The camera is garbage and takes terrible photos, the phone's ringer just stops working at random and requires a battery pull and reset to get it working again and the buttons on the keypad are flat making it difficult to type on. When I try to access photos I have taken - the phone freezes and needs a reboot. Lastly, the Blackberry AppStore is more like a NapStore - page after page of useless, boring, unimaginative applications - I get tired just writing about them.
At this rate Blackberry will be going the way of Nokia in the coming months/years. Here's another customer you've lost !!!!!!!!!!!

While this is a technical support section of the forum, I'll entertain your rant for a moment.
I as well as many others have never had a problem with that particular device. On the other hand in the making of anything it is natural to have flaws. Everything that is produced always has a human factor involved and as we all know humans are prone to error.
Simply complaining about your issues rather than asking for help with them will not help. There hundreds if not thousands of people who visit this forum everyday that can help you. Why not give it a shot? Who knows maybe we can help?
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

App World doesn't appear in my Curve 8520! Please Help

Hello. So I bought my BB curve 8520 and I've tried to install App World. It says that it is installed but when I go to my phone it's not there. I've looked everywhere and even used "show all". I've uninstalled and installed again, I tried to install from my blackberry instead of installing it from my computer and it doesn't appear. However, when I go to Options>advanced>applications it's there. What's wrong? I've been looking all around and I just don't get it.
Help please, thank you!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB29422 BlackBerry App World icon is missing after upgrading to BlackBerry App World 4.0.0.63 to 4.0.0.65
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
Good luck and let us know!

Strange issue when scaling text

Hi,
I'm using inDesign CS6 and there's a strange issue when rescaling a text with overflow to 200%:
As you can see, the fourth paragraph doesn't change its font size, even if it has exactly the same configuration. This happens apparently randomly to some paragraphs, or even lines of a paragraph in some cases.
The weirdest thing is that I have tried the same action with the same .indd file in other computers (another Mac and a Windows one, both CS6) and it scales properly all paragraphs. So I checked all the preferences from one computer to the other, and even if they are the same, the scaling issue still happens.
Any hints?
