BlackBerry smartphones frozen screen, possibly an easy Question

Hi all, I tried to read the FAQ before asking this question, but they do not seem to work now.

I had my Storm for a little over a week and the screen completely froze and becomes scrambled all by sending a text message.  I restarted the storm by plugging the charger and now it will not load even upward.  I received an error once, which then froze again the screen.  After that, I tried to reboot again, and he brings just to the top of the screen (sometimes garbled, as well) Verizon Wireless.

Is there a way to fix this without doing a hard reset (and lose all my data)?

Try this:

Leave the appliance to charge 2-3 hours and then, always toujours relie connected to the USB cable, remove the battery from the camera a few seconds and plug it back. If it starts - let - the charges to 100% (check the Options > status for the percentage).

If it does not start - try using a wall charger if you're not. If you are connected via USB to the computer, make sure that you have Desktop Manager (or USB device drivers), you can download it below.

Make sure that your USB cable is connected to one of the main rear USB ports of the PC. A USB hub, or USB Monitor port not a USB port on the front of the PC.

Download Desktop Manager here:

    There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

    Method 1:

    • Open the Blackberry Desktop Software and connect your device to your PC with the USB OEM cable and without inserting the battery.
    • You will get three options: try again, update or cancel; Click Refresh.
    • Once, it is at the stage of initialization of 'pocket', insert the battery.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second method:

    • Start your BlackBerry in safe mode. KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe
    • Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow handheld to connect. If you are prompted to update, cancel the upgrade for later.
    • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: Article ID: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader
    • Go to device > delete > SELECT DATA > select this option to remove the Social flow and smart card data bases and follow the rest invites you to complete.
    • Now, you can go back and click to update the device through the Desktop Manager, or restart the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue on the upgrade of the air.

  • A LOT of Newbie Questions blackBerry smartphones. (Must be the easy answer!)

    Good, please excuse my ignorance... guys xD

    I just bought two s BlackBerry Curve 8530 from Sprint. I'm pretty tech savvy, but there are some things about this phone, I can just enter in two or three days I got em:

    Deleting photos: Well, then I'm in my media folder, in the images. I selects a photo and press the BlackBerry button and select Delete. Then he said: it is read-only, and when I remove it, the icon is still there. I tried to turn on/off the device, and it's still there. Thought this one myself. I plugged it up to the Desktop Manager and all of a sudden all the photos I had taken appeared. I was also able to delete using the "BlackBerry" button and then "delete". It doesn't give me that read this option.

    Saving images: So, for some reason I can't save more photos. I don't know even how I saved the first 12 photos I have taken... but now it won't save any more. What the hell happened? xD I have a 2GB card in my phone... surely these 12 images didn't fill in this card... Thought this one myself. I plugged it up to the Desktop Manager and all of a sudden all the photos I had taken appeared.

    Buy ringtones: On my old phone LG, I used to buy ringtones RealTone Jukebox... where they had extracted from songs that I could download for a crazyhigh. Where can I buy the real music ringtones for BlackBerry? What I do myself?

    Media moving to my PC?: I went through the music store of Sprint comes with my camera, and two purchased songs. I want to know if I can get these songs out of my BlackBerry smart phone and my PC. Also, if anyone knows what format they are in (if they bought before Sprint music store).

    To buy another memory card: Where the best place to buy one of these mini memory cards? One of my friends like, a 24 a concert... and I currently have a 2 gig (who, I should mention, is more fricken memory I have in the computer I do not write about this time xD) how can I find out if the card is compatible with my camera?

    WTF @ Redlight?: From time to time (we can always do that, I'm not sure), the little red light at the top of my unit starts to blink even if I do not have a weak battery or not new messages. It first happened lastnight when a friend sent me 3 IMs at once. I had to reboot my device and I think that he is stopped. Earlier, it happened again (I had several new messages) and this time whenever my display is on, the light was red only flashes do not. It can always be like this now, but I'm not sure. My camera is in the other room and I'm too lazy to check xD. Why would he do that? How can I get him to stop?

    Turn off the sound of the camera?: My camera makes the shutter of the camera, even when noise silence. Is there a way to stop this?


    Auto keyguard: I have EPIC hand-dial to people purse. In my view, it has a keyboard lock button in the dashboard of BlackBerry (that is the correct term for this?) But I want to get to the place where the keyboard auto-lock after a certain period of time. Is this possible? I saw somewhere about pressing the button mute will lock it... who is the top/center of the unit button?

    Key blackBerry?: Well, don't laugh, I know that I'm retarded. But, the key to the left of the beach towel... than the devil who called? He got the BlackBerry logo on it... is what he called the BlackBerry button? I know, I know, I'm retarded and could probably flip through the manual to figure it out... but still. I might as well ask now xD


    Choose the icons to display on the main screen: When I added an e-mail address, he put an icon on my main desktop, in the row of icons at the bottom of the screen. (where is my background image and all that). Can we choose the icons that we want to display on the main screen? I have really now, my calendar icon that I know that I use. I'd love to move the keyboard lock button here though... is it possible?

    Speaker?: How can I get speaker? xD

    Theme Studio (software, no associated device): Anyone used this? It is quite easy to use? I am tech savvy, but I don't want to just download a ton of programs on my PC that I won't use xD I'm working on the Desktop Manager and it takes forever. I want to make themes, but I'm curious to know how easy to use this program is... graduate to use design or if it would take a graph xD

    Well, then, I think that... Think THAT that's all. I can change this highest position (if we are allowed to edit) to delimit what questions have been answered. I hope someone sees this soon enough, that I don't know how "living" these forums are.

    There may be an icon on the home screen of your camera to buy ringtones. Or you can open the browser and go to http://mobile.blackberry.com. There is a link of ringtones that you can click

    It is recommended to buy a microSD card to store your multimedia files, if you run out of memory on your device.


    Depending on what OS is your BlackBerry tells you what size you can buy a microSD card. You can check under Options | Topic (will appear as v4.xx.xxx). Look at the table on the following link to see what size you can get - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461


    On the BlackBerry, go to Options | Media Media Card recommended parameters are:


    Media card support: WE

    Encryption mode: NO

    Mass storage support: WE

    Auto enable mass storage Mode when connected: YES


    Mass storage mode allows your BlackBerry to act as an extra drive when it is connected to your PC. It will appear as an extra drive letter in Windows Explorer. So you can just drag/release the multimedia files on your memory card

    Hey Mari_43,

    Since the white screen is always occurring after a reload of the device software, I suggest you contact your provider network of repair options.

  • BlackBerry smartphone White Screen of Death!

    Hello

    I tried to turn on my phone one morning recently to find that the screen was white. I know know that this is due to a bad cable connection, but how can I fix this problem? I've learned to communicate with the people that there should be a guarantee of 2 years but which failed, I bought the phone from. What can I do? I would really like my BB to come back to life!

    I'll be very grateful for any help.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    As a community of users, nobody here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. RIM offers zero first line support to end-users, including warranty... all support starts with the carriers, resellers and authorized service centers, all who can degenerate case RIM free of charge for the end user.

    Thus, your escalation procedure is here, in these forums. It's through that that you are already dealing with. You have no free path to work around them.

    There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the original question, since you are not through the contract, you signed at the time of purchase. If you want to study, you can check it out here:

    It is also perhaps a few good reading here:

    Otherwise, you would be looking for technicians from the local hardware store in person who can repair that you need (at your expense).

    Good luck!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Ive just spent the last 4 hours trying to untangle the little sisters of my GF after that she has downloaded a theme that just froze EVERYTHING.

    It's pretty simple, you need to do:

    1. remove the battery

    2 reinsert the battery - but keep an eye on the LED on the top right

    3. when the LED turns off (after a few seconds) press ESC (the escape key is the the winding arrow to the right of the beach towel)

    4. keep the presses until the process on the start screen bar is complete.

    5. This will start the phone in "safe" mode Click OK in all messages telling you your in safe mode

    6. now go and delete this app wasted hours of your life trying to remove!

    (2) with the issue, I have download some applications of chat for my "BOLD" as for example, msn and aim. But when I try to log in this message appears: no available data Service? How can I look forward to using the wi - fi connection (if possible)?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones is it possible to create create shortcuts on the BlackBerry Storm?

    I am a new user of booth on the BlackBerry. My old motorola phone had a feature where you can create a shortcut customized to performa a function which make you a lot on your phone. For example, on the blackberry there is a vioce recording feature, but it can actually start recording your voice, you must click through a Numb er of screens. Is it possible that with one or two clicks, I start recording with the recorder of the word, or go directly to any other application that I choose?

    Thanks for anyones help.

    Well the only thing I could think is go to options and select screen/keyboard and time, you can put the recording of the voice as a shortcut on the physical hardware button on the right or left side

  • BlackBerry Smartphones is it possible to see my phone numbers and addresses I saved in the blackberry Desktop Manager

    I know it's maybe a silly question - but I was finally able to download the blackberry Desktop Manager and then back up all the data from my blackberry to my computer via Desktop Manager.  For my own peace of mind, I would like to see some of these data (addresses and phone numbers) just to make sure I did the back up properly.  Is this possible?

    Well, your confidence level in the backup process is your own to define. Maybe if you start the restore process, but do not actually run it, DTM might give you indications of what it contains. I agree that I saw the posts of others who say that the backup was useless... but I have no way of judging if their characteristics are identical to yours.

    You have to, to get the push RIM email functions you are looking for, as well as services of BlackBerry data such as the Web browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger and much more.

    Then call your carrier and you learn about to have added to your account BlackBerry data Plan.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Priv screen ripples

    Hello!

    Just got my new... Private BlackBerry a few days ago and noticing something weird with the screen, under the Sun, it seems to have ripples, or the creases in it rather than be a surface flat.  It is difficult to capture on camera, but I managed to get a picture where you can see sort.

    http://imgur.com/a/7q8se

    Keep in mind these are much more sensitive to the Sun and seen with the eyes.  In the circle from the bottom, you can see a straight horizontal line.  Upstairs, he gets little wavy and it's like that in the entire upper part.  There are also a few ripples in the bottom.    There is also folds that run from the top of the phone down in the Center who only sees in the image.  I understand that this screen is difficult to see in the direct light of the Sun.  Is not the issue I'm having, the image appears distorted in full sun in fact because of those ripples.

    I would like to know if this is normal or if someone else has experienced.

    ANY comment is useful please also advise if you don't have this problem.

    Thank you

    I think it's normal, as you say, clear direct light from the Sun.
