Will a blown battery stop my phone from working properly? only half loads on startup screen then crashes!

Blackberry curve 8520 pearl

Hello,
Well, I think it depends on what you mean by "blown". Blown up? Overheated and expanded? Or just no longer functioning good, with no visible signs of any damage?
Any of those can indeed cause this situation. To test, you need a known good identical battery to try in your BB. Likewise, an identical BB without problems, to use your current battery in. The results of this test will indicate if the problem indeed is your battery, or something else about your device itself.
Good luck and let us know!

  • My mom was able to call verizon and then was able to stop my phone from working with the network. The phone itself works but it cannot send messages or use the data. How can i "turn it back on"?

    She called some number and stopped it from using the network. How can i make it work again?

    >Posted edited to remove instructions that could lead to a fraudulent act<  But if she's paying the bills, she's going to see that you turned it back on and I'm guessing you're probably going to get into even bigger trouble (especially if you managed to impersonate her or speak on her behalf).  Best bet, talk to your mom about what she wants from you in order to get it turned back on. 
    Good luck!

  • Will touch id stop my phone from being stolen and hacked into to bypass pin

    will touch id stop my phone from being stolen and hacked into to bypass pin. a friend of mine said that if he found my phone he could plug it into itunes and retore it to new and earase the phone and keep it as his own. the only reason  why i would get the iphone 5s is because of the touch id only if it would make the phone useless to anyone who has my phone besides me and would not be able to hack into it. i like my iphone 4s and that was ther reason why i didnt get 5. but 5s would be a good by for me if anyone could let me know if touch id is the solution to phone theft. I think itunes should have a password in order to access the phone anyways. also is apple going to use landscape mode anymore. it seems like more and more apps are fading away form this but i have big hands and landscape mode is a lot more comfortable in my hands. I dont see why i could enable a landscape mode for my home screen layout and all the other apps that i would like to use my phone sideways for. thanks

    Change your Apple ID in Settings/Messages, certainly. As he is your ex I would also get a new Apple ID for purchases, although this will mean you will have to buy any apps purchased using his Apple ID all over again.

  • How do you stop the phone from attempting to logon to a deleted email account?

    When I first got my phone Skype video was not available so I opened a Yahoo email account so that I could use them for video calls.  I got frustrated with the phone in that about half of the time that I turned it on it would tell me that it couldn't connect to the Yahoo servers due to an invalid password.  Other times it would connect successfully.
    I went to the default email app and found an option to delete the Yahoo account.  I even went to the Yahoo web site and deleted the email account from there. 
    I thought that I had successfully deleted the account but now I get a message that the phone can't access the Yahoo servers every time I turn the phone on.  Any ideas on how to stop the phone from attempting to access the Yahoo email servers?
    I've checked and the email app doesn't list Yahoo and I can't find any reference to Yahoo in the apps section.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

  • PC Suite stops Microsoft Fax from working

    The fax server information cannot be retrieved
    I have just downloaded and installed the latest version of PC Suite.
    Each time I install the recent versions of PC Suite it stops Microsoft fax from working.
    I am running windows XP SP2
    I have a Nokia 5310
    The error message is:
    The fax server information cannot be retrieved
    The fax wizard will now close.
    I can use an earlier version of PC Suite but then my phone is not fully supported.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your response Miksu. You have pointed me to the right place. It is the connection manager that fails to recognise the BT stack that causes my problems. This is always resolved by a repair. It seems that the order of initiation is very important which may be why Luist has started to have the problem.
    In my experience, once things stop to work, I've had to strip out any subsequent installs.
    My PCSuite also stopped working after it installed cable connection manager (or something like that) without me asking. I found it in Control Panel->Add/Remove programs. I removed it and PC Suite started to work again, so I completely removed PC Suite then re-installed, and allowed it to add the relevant devices relating to my phone (about 4 devices alltogether) but alas this did not solve my "return from standby" issue. I think I need to remove PC Suite and then Bluetooth, and maybe something else before re-installing - I'll leave that for a rainy day.
    Thanks again Miksu

  • HT203085 Warning to Mac Yosemite re Webroot security program.  It stops Mac Dictation from working!

    It took Mac phone two days, four sessions, and three hours of wasted time to figure out that Webroot security program what's stopping my dictation program from working. Only after it was disabled and removed from my Mac did the dictation program works again. All Apple user should be aware of this problem with Webroot.

    Wasting your time is all such programs are capable of accomplishing. Some will also waste your money.

    I just installed PSE11 on my new Windows 8 computer. (I had previously run it on my old computer with Windows 7). The icon flickers when I open PSE11 and then I get a message,  "A problem has stopped Photoshop Elements from working correctly. Windows will notify you if there is a solution to the problem."

  • HT1689 Downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs will download to my ipad.  error says file cannot be converted.  How do I get this fixed or request a refund since I can't use the item purchased?.

    Downloaded and album from itunes and only half of the songs will download to my ipod.   Error message says file cannot be converted.  How do I fix this or get a refund from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
