BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry bold 9700 shift key stuck and the joystick

Hello

I don't know if anyone has experienced this before.

Woke up this morning I noticed my shift button (the one on the right side) stuck from time to time. If I press it, it goes, however he returned a few minutes later. I thought at first, that my joystick works, but it's this thing. I disassembled the blackberry and even then it does.

The joystick is also up. Now it does nothing. I am devastated.

Any idea?

Linda

This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered. Really, it is more common than you think.
1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
4. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):
* Place the BB in a container of rice uncooked dry, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
* On top of any heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
* On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9700 for ORANGE bought in the UK, but never used does not work with TELSU SIM in the Canada

    I had a Blackberry Bold 9700 as a gift.  I think it was made for the Orange network in the United Kingdom ('Orange' written at the bottom of the BlackBerry in the front).  I tried to use it with my TELUS account in Canada with TELUS SIM.  The Blackberry does not register any wireless network signal.  The meter of signal display "SOS" only and no TELUS network is avaiable.  My position is Mississauga (Ontario) and Telus wireless covers this area for sure.  I checked that the device is not locked by going to Options-Advanced-online SIM card and typing MEPD Options Online.  The options that appear to say 'off '.  The device seems to read the SIM card because the SIM card # appears.

    Y at - it someone who has the same problem and its resolution.  A large part in this regard, the obligation for any input.

    Hello

    I just discovered the reason for BB does not not with TELUS that I wanted to inquire about registration CDMA you mentioned...

    A smart guy, he asked me to check the frequency bands that supports my BB.  Its sub Options => on.  "3 G bands" that supports my BB are 1, 4, and 8.  These correspond to the IMT 2100 MHz, AWS 1700 MHz and GSM 900 MHz respectively.  The frequencies that TELUS uses in the Canada are groups 1, 2, 5 and 6.

    So, finally tech TELUS came with the answer that my BB is designed to work with some UK frequencies and not with TELUS frequencies in the Canada.

    I've misunderstood and used the term incorrectly HARD LOCK.  The BB I have shows all the options as "disabled" when I go into options in advance-online SIM card and press the MEPD.  Also if I press MEP2 unit not asks me to input MEP codes.  Nothing happens.  This led me to believe that this device is not locked to ORANGE network so the lack of a better term, I used little HARD LOCKED.

    Much obliged for your entry.  It has been enlightening.  Thank you very much.

  • BlackBerry Blackberry Bold 9700 Smartphones blocked (or stuck) with 99% of the loading bar HELP!

    Hello world!

    Well, everything is explained in the title, my blackberry bold 9700 is block 99% of the load bar when I reboot it.

    Yesterday I had like 3 or 4 updates to some app and then I reboot but now it's blocked... I try to remove the battery several times, did not work, I try to use alt + shift + del several times, did not work, I try to use BBSAK but the blackberry cannot recognize... I don't know what to do and the worst part is that I did not do backup everything (ok so I'm little kind of stupid, but...)

    In any case of me HELP

    Thank you!

    YES! I found a solution! Working on it since yesterday! It is an application that has been blocked my BB

    So for all of you who have had the same problem here's what I did: I use the AppLoader, you will find cor D, F no matter) / Program Files / Common Files / Research In Motion / AppLoader / loader

    Launch the loader and connect your blackberry to the PC by USB. BUT it must detect the blackberry before the loading bar reach 3/4. So when the blackberry is detected, quickly click Next, then you should have a list of all your applications. Now deselect the application causing problem (or if you don't know which deselect all to remove all) and then click Next. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE LOADING BAR SHOULD NOT SPEND 3/4. After that it's going to be something and if you see that it blocks just to make a reset in now alt + shift + del 2 times, wait, she returned to the loading bar and try again to detect the phone in the AppLoader who does not close during this manipulation... After all, that things blackberry should restart and hope for you, came back to life. So, in my case, I lost all my photos (don't know why), but at least I'm keeping all my contacts and messages. In any case it's better like this than all lost...

    Sorry for my bad English, I think that everything is not really clear, but perhaps that might help someone...

  • Synchronization problems Blackberry Bold 9700 with Bluetooth of Windows 7 drivers Sony Vaio SZ series

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 with a clean reinstall on my laptop Sony VAIO VGN-SZ470N. Full specifications can be seen here: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&kw=vgn-sz470n/c&lp=8198552921665095013&productId=8198552921665095013#footNotes

    My goal: to sync my new Blackberry Bold 9700 wireless via bluetooth using the built-in radio. Many people have had problems with this and the forums are littered with solutions that have worked for others, but I'm having no luck.

    So-called: Device Manager software Blackberry won't recognize devices that are managed by Windows Native Bluetooth stack.

    What I did:

    Windows will automatically detect my bluetooth radio and installs the "Bluetooth USB Controller (ALPS/UGPZ6)" (hardware ID: USB\VID_044E & PID_300D & REV_1915, USB\VID_044E & PID_300D) driver. With this driver, I can go to the "add a device" with my phone in discovery mode, and the computer will not conclude it.

    If I go in ' control panel-> add devices ", the Add Device Wizard window will tell me it's looking two detectable Bluetooth devices found in the range. I went into control panel of-> see devices-> UGX (which resembles a bluetooth adapter bit) and there was no "bluetooth settings option when I would right click."

    After reading on the Blackberry forums that the BB only synchronizes with the Bluetooth of Windows stack, I updated my driver ALPS/UGPZ6 to "generic bluetooth adapter. The selection of this driver also installs driver for "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator. It also adds the bluetooth icon in the lower bar of good start near the time and date. I can now go to 'Add a device' and it will show my BB 9700. When I connect, matching Assistant is displayed on my phone and in windows. I enter a code on my blackberry and enter a code in the wizard windows. Both devices and then tell me that pairing has been successful. However, the two machines are.

    Once the BB is paired, tent windows install the drivers of the two newly discovered devices, then gives me an error and States that the drivers cannot be installed. It is said that it is impossible to install two drives, both devices are listed in the device as "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" Manager (Hardware ID BTHENUM\ {426c6163-6b42-6572-7279-44736b746f70} _LOCALMFG & 000D).

    In "devices and printers > Bluetooth' BB 9700 is now listed with a status of 'troubleshooting needs'." Although the devices are paired, the BB will ever show a status of connected, rather it will continue to just try to connect every two minutes or more. I can connect to my friends MacBook, but I have no idea how to test the fact that the connection works. I also noticed that in the screen 'Add features' phone bluetooth of my roommate. So, I looked for ways to resolve the missing drivers.

    I found three solutions supposed for the driver installation error which has not WORKED for me.

    (1) the first is to right click on the two strangers 'Bluetooth' devices in Device Manager and updated the driver in both cases to "RIM Virtual Serial V2". When you try to implement this solution, the status "needs Troubleshooting" will disappear, but blackberry Device Manager will not find the BB 9700 to add for bluetooth sync. Nothing else seems to change. Complete instructions for this solution have been listed here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Pearl-BlackBerry-8100/Need-Bluetooth-Peripheral-Device-driver-to-connect-to-8120/m-p/263541

    The other way, I tried to fix the driver error problem was to remove all the listed drivers and reinstall the generic Bluetooth USB controller and the enumerator. Then I went and downloaded the Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Upgrade. For the two unknown devices labeled "Bluetooth Peripheral Device", I chose the Bluetooth radio driver > Microsoft Corporation > peripheral support Windows Mobile.  Once again, the status in devices and printers troubleshooting message > Bluetooth devices disappear, but still the Blackberry device manager can't find the phone. I found the original steps for this here: http://www.computers.nepalesemap.com/index.php?topic=3.0

    (3) supposed to be the reason why the blackberry will not sync with the ALPS driver installation is because the windows bluetooth stack does recognize it not as compatible. So I uninstall the Bluetooth devices and blackberry. I restarted and the computer reinstalls the driver ALPS.

    I found a solution which says to edit the c:\windows\inf\bth.inf file and add the hardware ID that is listed in the device under the ALPS HardwareID driver manager. I have add the ID of the hardware to the list of devices, but the bluetooth enumerator installs ever, and I can't access the Bluetooth settings.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone help!


    Hi Cptnnemo,

    How do you close the computer, you have your Blackberry?  As with any Bluetooth, the device must be 3-4 FEET away from being discovered.  Please follow the instructions on the MSFT made, then try to keep your 3-4 feet away and try the discovery mode.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how GPS Blackberry Bold 9700 works in India?

    Hello
    3 years ago, I bought a Blackberry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile) in the United States with 2-year contract. While home, I pretty much used the feature of maps/GPS directions very well.

    But since I went to India at the beginning, I had the phone unlocked by T-Mobile. After his arrival in India, how can I now make the GPS works? Will be fair with an offer for the data service to the work of mobile service provider? or should I do something else in the BlackBerry phone device to make it work?

    I'm looking forward to using the GPS for the use of applications that could help me track my race (like RunKeeper... etc)

    Any help on this aspect is highly appreciated. Thank you.

    BlackBerry data plan is totally different from normal Internet data plan. It is essential requirement to the configuration of the e-mail, browse the internet or using BlackBerry Messenger.

    You can browse the Blackberry App World with this data plan and install applications. You can do without the data plan. In this case, you will need to use the Wi - Fi feature.

    It's good, it means that the connection to the USB port on your handset is good.

    I know that you may have tried this... but try again. New charger, new battery, charger different, different load location (another outlet). "You have a DC car charger, try it).

  • BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphones may not make or receive calls

    I have a blackberry bold 9700 with TMobile, who cannot make or receive calls since yesterday.  Texts and e-mail work fine and I have done a battery pull approximately five times.  When I try to make a call, it is this constant clicking, almost like a pulse of sound that comes through the phone.  I tried to call the phone my wife and her phone rings with my number, but no voice crosses.  Same problem when I receive a call, the pulse thing happens and it goes to voicemail... which of course, I can't verify.

    I had this phone during nearly two years and that has never happened before.  This just started yesterday past and no change to the phone (OS update, new application, etc.).  Someone has an idea what is the problem?

    • Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.
    • If it still does not work, remove and reinsert the SIM card.
    • And, if still not, go to the store of your mobile operator and get a free exchange of SIM card and check it while IN the store.
