BlackBerry smartphones will not switch to landscape to portrait

My storm suddenly don't switch from portrait to landscape in my Message or SMS application.  The rest of the program work well, but it won't.  Any ideas how to fix it.  I have to type e-mail in portrait mode, so it kills me.  I turned off the phone but that won't fix it and I can't find anything in the section of support on this issue.

Hi and welcome to the Forums!

Whenever random strange behaviors creep, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

Best!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not switch on my bold 9900

    Hello..

    last day I kept my bold 9900 for reload and when I came back, it shows a black screen with a battery symbol. I tried to load it once again, while the red light blinks, then switches back to the black screen with battery. then I tried to turn on my phone with the battery of my friends and I could pass on my phone. but after a while the battery got also dried upward and when I tried to load, same problem happened.

    I tried every possible way to turn it on. tried to update to os using desktop and web software with or without battery. When she reached the reconnection to the jvm, it displays an error saying: failed to connect the device. tried using jl cmder, but it does not connect the device too saying cannot open the port.

    hope that some of you could help me with a solution...

    (1) I put my battery on the phone and tried to charge, what happens is, the red light is coming for a while and then a black screen with a battery symbol. I kept it for hours and I think that my battery won't charge. but when I tried to load earlier when my phone is turned on, it shows that the battery is charging. so I think that the problem is not with the battery, and because my phone is off battery does not charge.

    Okay... but in order to solve this and do what, whether you still need a fully charged battery. How to get yours... but you have to do, and you can do when trying to load in the BB.

    (2) went to this peripheral os download page. but the operating system specific carrier. my phone is not carrier specific, as I bought it from the RIM. My carrier is Asia-Pacific - AUNTIE DOCOMO gsm, but they do not have the os 9900 "BOLD".

    All operating systems are released by the carriers. Model number any carrier what OS can be used in any device, as long as it's for the exact same. Indeed, it is that deletion of the SELLER. XML files doesn't work - causes Setup to bypass validation the carrier of the source of the operating system against the carrier allocated to the device.

    Even if you bought directly from BlackBerry, it will still be originally were for a specific carrier. All BBs have a unchanging VendorID value, which indicates the carrier for which the device was built into their firmware. Even a BB unlocked, which can then be used on any compatible media, retains this original VendorID. And it is in fact only VendorID which is checked against the SELLER. XML files in the operating system package - removing the SELLER. XML files allows to bypass this check, allowing you to use any carriers OS package.

    So where can I download 9900 os directly on my desktop software?

    Now that you understand the process, you know how to proceed. Choose from companies that take charge of your model, the operating system package you want.

    Good luck!

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello

    So I think there is a strategy IT already enabled on your device which does not enable these features, so solve your problem first make a backup of your device using Desktop software or refer to this Article How to backup your BlackBerry  

     

    Once you have your backup follow this Knowledge Base and put it back to factory setting, it will disable or delete any policy within your device:

     

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

     

    After a reset using your BlackBerry ID and for restoring your backup, choose a selective restore. Restore only your Contacts, calendar, etc. do not perform a full restore otherwise these COMPUTER strategies that you deleted can re-partner and you must perform these steps again. Do not restore any application, install a fresh copies of each world of BlackBerry.

    Try it and tell us.

    In my case, I can't so BBM to complete all steps of the installation (in my case, it has to do with the fact that I don't have any active data plan from my mobile provider... This is a sine qua non for BBM, so I do not think that it actually works on my device). But in your case, withdrawal (per above) and try again may be cautious.

    He request and update the application identity BB as well? If that failed, then you have to force that.

  • BlackBerry smartphones will not buy another Blackberry

    I had a curve since 2008. I got a newer curve in January when I renewed my Verizon contract. I am extremely disappointed by the general slugishness of the phone. I thought that it would be better than my old curve with freeze ups, white screens, the "eception exception" and "illegal action" messages / freeze ups and it was for a while. Then, a few weeks ago I received a message about an upgrade of the system I did and now I'm back to the same problems as my old curve - freeze ups, white screens, sudden resets, having to get a battery out frequently, browser very slow speed, downtimes, etc... Added trouble to just upgrade to the way I navigate screens at home with the means the screens are distributed in all the icons, frequently used icons, Favorites, etc. The update comes to increase my frustration with my Blackberry in general. My problems are unique to my phone alone. Other people tell me that their BB has similar problems. Are we just a bad thing? At this point, I will not buy another BB and unfortunately I do not recommend BB to friends if they ask how I love my curve.

    I already said that I have a Curve 9330. No need to answer though, as I'm rejecting this week. I don't know why Blackberry even exist anymore.

  • Camera of blackBerry Smartphones will not work...

    Hi all

    with my new BlackBerry 9800 Torch, I tried to take pictures, but it simply does not work.

    I tried every button described in the manual (on the touch screen or button below or the touch of comfort on the right side of the BB), but the BB will not take a picture. I can make videos, but not photos. Just with the "photo" "facial recognition" mode (sorry if this is not correct, I just translated it, my Blackberry speaks German :-)) it can take pictures, but not in automatic mode or another.)

    It's just kind of a weird bug or I'm too stupid to work with this device?

    Thanks for your help!

    Emma

    Hi Emma

    Just to clarify, your BlackBerry will only take photos in face recognition mode?  When you're in a different mode, what happens exactly?  You get errors or click noise?  Have you tried to remove and reinsert the battery?

    Thank you

    Hi Peter-Frango,

    The list to search for available software for your Blackberry smartphone is http://bbry.lv/cp57Eb

    The other list shows that your device will support the version of the appliance software, the list above shows if it is available from your wireless provider.

    Hope this helps,

  • Applications/install blackBerry smartphones will not be displayed in Desktop software

    Hello, I use a Torch 9860 FW 7.0.0.585, which is connected through Desktop Software 6.1 with a Windows PC (Outlook 2003/XP Prof SP3). This morning, I met a weird problem. Connect my BB with my PC, I decided to check the installed applications since I've updated the FM last night (via software updater from my camera).

    Big surprise! Except a few Apps (WhatsApp, a scanner for barcode, GPS-Logger) no other apps or FW facilities therein. The day before the FW all list of facilities one all paty apps 3rd place indicated in one neat, long - now: nothing except these few applications. I tried to reinstall the Desktop und reconnected my device software - but to no avail.

    Anyone have a similar problem?

    I'm a little worried about changing to say packages installed language or other preferences FW since I don't know any other way, then use the application button in the desktop software to do this. In the current state, it would be impossible.

    I would be very grateful for some tips or tricks.

    M.

    Hi - Thanks for your ad. In the meantime, I found the solution here:

    http://forums.CrackBerry.com/Desktop-Manager-F153/applications-DM-will-not-show-torch-apps-list-6829...

    My DM contained only the 'old' FM, not the updated version. I downloaded the new version of my website providers, installed on my computer, restarted DM and: voila - all applications including basic software has shown once again in the Apploader.

    I hope this helps my colleagues here too!

    Good bye!!!

  • My blackberry blackBerry smartphones will not restore my backup

    Hello

    I have a BB Storm 2 and I save a lot.

    I also use google sync to synchronize my address book and calendar.

    Last night I synces again and it failed. So I tried a few times more. Disconnection, signed back in and after a while, it worked.

    But what I did not notice until this morning that it totally screwed up my address book. Some of the contacts I have had about 75 times. And I lost most of my contacts.

    So in my gmail I lost them.

    But not a problem. I supported two days ago. But now it will not restore. It does something to my BB, it changes everything, but doesn't I want to restore. So I tried a full restore, a partial restore a different backup, turn off the BB. Everything!

    First I tried with the former office and later by the new software. It does not work.

    So help me please!

    (If my English is strange, I'm from the Netherlands...)

    When you say a partial restore do you mean that you tried to restore all the address book? If this is the case, you can try clear the address book database, and then perform a hard reset on your device by removing the battery for a few seconds and replace, then try to restore the address book from the backup file

  • Screen of the blackBerry Smartphone will not portrait in landscape mode when, in the pages of sms and message mode change

    I don't know if I've accidentally changed something, but all of a sudden I can not get the screen to switch from portrait to landscape mode when im in the pages of sms and message. I searched everywhere for an option that could keep me out of this point of view, but I have not found anything. Anyone know how to fix this? your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure that you use the latest version of the OS that you can find (from any carrier.)

    You can probably get it to work again by removing the battery and reinsert.

  • Instant Messaging for blackBerry Smartphones will not work on wifi

    I got my camera a few months ago. I always have my iphone, it wasn't until last week when I was reminded of I have a blackberry and started using it. Unfortunately, I always have a hard time linking my IM using wifi. This will never work! For example, whenever I try to log-in using my yahoo Messenger, I always get an error message indicating that "Service not allows for this pocket. I think maybe since it is a preinstalled application I should be able to use my IMs (esp. yahoo and google) using the wifi as when you use your iphone or android devices. So is there a problem on my phone because I can't use my IMs using wifi? Also I'm using curve BB 9220. Thank you!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    BlackBerry <> iPhone or Android

    BlackBerry devices have owners that require subscription to a package of data from your provider, even if you use these services via WiFi. I don't remember if the specific services you mention fall into this category or not, but you need to ring to the top of your service provider and tell them about the exact services that you want to use and then make sure that you subscribe to a package of adequate data from them to enable these services.

    Good luck!
