BlackBerry smartphones old 9900 3 months not under warranty?

Hello

I sent my fone to be repaired once the ringtone and audio no longer works.  They say now that there is physical damage to the fone inside of it, with no sign of damage on the outside, so they refused to fix it.

Is there anyway I can get RIM to watch the phone and check it out or fix?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Concerning

John

I just wanted to say that this is now resolved and im a happy chappy

Vodafone replace the handset at a very reasonable cost to me

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB 9900 update does not complete...

    Hi all

    Asked me to update my BB Bold 9900. Therefore, I have connected my BB to my lap - top. Three of the four stages have been completed (1 back up data, 2 install the software, restart 3, 4 re - install the data). Now, the last step (data re - install) seems blocked. It reads: BBGroups (1 of 8 elements) of the database. Now, it is stable for more than an hour...

    Anyone know what to do? I'll cut the link between BB and the laptop and try again or what I lose my data if I do?

    Thank you very much!

    Kind Regads,

    Benjamin

    Strange ending to this story: Finally, I cut the line between the device and the laptop... the BB has always worked and all data always seem to be there! Hmmm...

    Hello tooblackish

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Sorry for the trouble, but I noticed this same problem with few other users, who could not send pings to any BlackBerry 10 there BlackBerry 7 devices.

    To solve your problem, I suggest to re-install BlackBerry Messenger!  To do this on your homescreen go to Options > device > application > locate and remove BlackBerry Messenger from there. After deleting to do a battery pull reboot as this device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back.

    KB10040  : How to display or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone   

     

    Finally, after the reboot, use your BlackBerry browser and go to www.blackberry.com/bbmdownload and download the latest available for your phone model. If device reboot prompt do then sign in with your ID BlackBerry even.

    Try it and tell us how it goes.

    _______________________________________________

    Please note:

    If you encounter BBM7 or higher then your BBM Contacts are integrated into your BlackBerry ID after installation when you log in with your BlackBerry ID Contacts is restored back, but if you experience any previous Kathy then first make a backup local, you can save on your press card, see this KB for additional assistance

    Is there a solution?...

    Sorry for my writing skills, because English is not my first language

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You can also use these tricks - if suggest a website, please rather replaced by 6a or 6b above:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    It of a former silver/gray Curve 8310 works very well except no text. Did a hard reboot, wiped phone, downloaded news and updates of the site Web of BB. ATT network.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If there is a latent policy, there is only one way to remove it... and while I can't tell exactly what you hear of "hard reboot", this probably isn't the appropriate method. To check, however, see this:

    • KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    And, even if it seems to result in a negative, there is perhaps a COMPUTER policy on board... 'stealth' rare, but they exist. To clean, you must do:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    Of course, remember to take a backup before and after restore... but do not make big. One of the saved databases contains policy COMPUTER and, if you restore that, you'll be right where you started. On the contrary, only backup/restore these specific databases that need you, specifically avoiding those that relate to politics. You can find a complete set of instructions in the thread linked to my auto-sig on this post.

  • Help with calendar with Outlook sync blackBerry Smartphones to all appointments will not sync...

    I'm not a great tech, but I have some skills good enough for a girl, if I say so myself... but I'm so frustrated... I need help.

    This is my first public post... So I hope that I give all the information but who will help, if I missed something, please let me know.

    Here is some background info:

    I have a BB "BOLD"

    I use it NOT on a company (network)

    I sync my bb with my dell

    Windows Vista (UGH!)

    Outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001

    My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason, I have a bb

    My contacts are FINE

    My schedule is a MESS

    I have 2 separate email addresses work well my bb... For the purposes of his post, I will refer to them as

    [email protected] and

    [email protected]

    When I do appointments in my work calendar, I do one of 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB

    Plan my gmail as a participant in the designation address or

    Prior to the appointment to my gmail from my work email address

    When I make an appointment directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu > new = my default settings of the account gmail under the 'send '.

    BB News:

    When I'm in the calendar and select > Menu.Options > calendars > I have 3 options

    [email protected] who has (518 entries)

    Default device that has (157 results)

    [email protected] who has (429 entries)

    When I go to the Menu > Options > Advanced Options > Services > (CICAL) by default is [email protected] , it shows that I have options to select my Gmail or my .mac address

    That is the problem - it did not used to happen, and I frankly did not know that my backup was messed up so I don't know how long this is happening.

     

    When I sync with Outlook

    There are only 518 appointments that are synchronized

    I can't get the other 157 (defect of the unit) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook

    Can someone help me to get them all on my gmail calendar? or in my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB

    I will not sync my bb with my mac

    Here's what I tired:

    • Yelling at the computer
    • Yelling in Spanish at the BlackBerry
    • ignoring the two
    • I stopped myself to throw both of them against the wall.

    But seriously

    I put the BB Desktop Manager to perform a one-way synchronization > bb to outlook = NOTHING only synchronize gmail

    I changed the (CICAL) to my mac address and synchronized = NOTHING - only synchronization gmail

    I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

    Hello

    We will remember and then on MAC records.

    Outlook contains records of 158 of the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The calendar by default folders must be cleared and restored to the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The Blackberry associated gmail calendar resulting will be then synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records

    resulting calendars synced to Outlook and Blackberry.

    Reading this, I propose more than once. Method 3 is what we do.

    Let me know, tomorrow, what questions you have the procedure so that we can ensure we succeed.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB app world does not appear on new Torch 9850.

    Blackberry app world is not installed on my new torch. I tried to go to the website of bb to download, but I can't find anything on how to download app world. I already tried a reload of the operating system. Help, please.

    If you have a hardware problem, then nothing what to do with the software or operating system will not help. But, at a distance of the internet, there is no way to really diagnose a hardware problem... rather, only to guide you to things to try which will govern the other causes, leaving only hardware like your the most likely cause. See how news of the device is for you, you can not cope and return instead of your place of purchase for formal support and (hopefully) replacement.

    But, if you want to try, then I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    You may also use these tips:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Hotmail w/BIS is not sync when using Windows Live Messenger

    Hello

    I've got BES both BIS working in my BlackBerry. BES has the email that I use at work. BIS has configured my Hotmail account. Both work fine, but when I tried to use Windows Live Messenger in my BlackBerry I realized that the emails of Hotmail stopped coming.

    So far, that's what I got:

    If I connect to Windows Live Messenger from my BlackBerry, from a Windows computer, or within Hotmail (inside the web browser) I no longer receive mail. Everything I do from my BlackBerry still affects my Hotmail account (mark an e-mail as read, delete or sending an e-mail using my Hotmail account).

    When I sign out of Windows Live Messenger and you receive another email, all delays and the new email come to my BlackBerry and guard mail very well until I connect to Windows Live Messenger again. I do not receive the emails delayed until I get a new once the connection from Windows Live Messenger.

    Already tried battery pull, remove and re-add the account of Hotmail in BIS and uninstall and reinstallation of Windows Live Messenger.

    Please, I know already all the love that some people have on other services of e-mail webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), which helps not at all.

    I searched the web and I have nothing, I hope someone can help me.

  • 9810 blackBerry smartphones don't have load not

    Hello, I had trouble loading my 9810. When I plug my phone into the charger bolt does not show up on top of the battery, instead I get the usb on the battery symbol. I have to keep unplugging and then plugging my phone and after several tries the bolt comes and it starts to charge my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Looks like the USB port is damaged, and that's why it does not load. It is possible, it can be temporarily fixed by bending down to where it is supposed to be, but it is definitely damaged. It may be a good idea to talk to your carrier and see if they will cover under warranty.
