BlackBerry Torch 9800 Smartphones: Gel and showing the hourglass

I live in the Canada and when I cross oever in the United States that I have to close my provider to avoid paying roaming charges...

I did often in the past with no problems until yesterday...

Since I turned it on, the hourglass icon appears every few seconds which is very annoying!

My BB is only 18 months old, but I must say seriously, I think I have a lemon. I have always had weird problems with it. None of my friends have problems.

This really makes me think so to Apple!

Does anyone else have this problem later with their Torch 9800

Thank you!!

  • BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphones does not detect the wireless Ad Hoc network

    I try to connect my Torch 9800 for the ad-hoc WiFi network, I put in place on my Windows 7 PC with Internet sharing.  However, the torch does not list even the SSID in the list of detected networks.  I confirmed that the network Ad - Hoc on Windows 7 is in mode ' Waiting for Users ' and the torch can detect other networks nearby.  I tried clicking on "Other ways to connect" and manually enter the SSID, but it still doesn't work.  I've also confirmed that other devices (an another laptop Win7 and an iPad) have no problem connecting to the Ad Hoc network and Internet connection sharing.  Any ideas?

  • BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone does not connect to the server and server BBM problem

    I have a BB Torch 9800 and starting the 29th Dec e-mail could not be received and BBM works do not. I have nothing, they just stopped working.  Made all types of hard reboots even take off the battery and SIM card, and works in the BBM id. Just downloaded BBM app ver 7.0 thinking he would help and now get BBM, temporary server problem message.

    Help, please. Provider is AT & T.

    My guess is that your supplier, ATT, changed your data plan. Call them and make sure that your account is configured correctly for BB services.

    In addition, make sure you use only the root USB ports... without hubs (sometimes the front-end ports are hubs... use a rear USB port). And don't forget to try to disable the USB power management in the configuration of your system (Device Manager).

    Check also on the incompatible software... it was reported that NTI Shadow Ninja & software can cause a conflict; Remove and reinstall the desktop software BB allows to install correctly.

    My apologies in advance if this is redundant - there is no way to be sure that if you have already seen and tried these. Also apologies if all are not currently available... RIM takes their monte and descends at will as they revise things.

    I hope that something it is useful!

  • BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphones does not accept the App World Ts & Cs and can not install applications

    Hi, I had a search in the forums and knowledge base and has not been able to find an answer to this problem.

    I have a new Blackberry Torch 9810 on O2 to the United Kingdom. I have Blackberry App World installed and I have App update the icons in the my messages folder. Whenever I try to go to my Apps and install updates in the App World, I get the terms and conditions window if poster, I scroll down, click on 'accept' and the window disappears and nothing happens. I click on my Apps again, same thing, window appears again.

    I uninstalled App World and reinstalled and I still get the same problem, I can not get the Ts & Cs to accept so can't update my apps or install others. If someone else has had this problem and is there a solution?

    Thanks for your time.

    Ant

    OK... try this...

    (1) make sure that you already have the RIM desktop software installed on your PC:

    and have executed at least once with your BB attached (so that it can do it's initial configurations).

    (2) attached via the USB port of your PC (the software didn't need to run)

    (3) launch the browser on your PC and go here:

    Leave the plug in install and 'connect' to your BB ID account (via the browser/PC)

    See if that allows things to configure correctly.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Torch 9800 won't boot to the top

    Well, I was installing Fandango and once it has been done download the phone turns off to reboot and the screen lights up and down the bar showing the loading progress was going well and all and then it happens to about 3/4 in fact, then it stops and starts again and it does the same thing over and over again. descends from 3/4 stops. I tried pulling the battery and it has not made a difference. So I tried to remove the battery and just letting it sit for awhile, still nothing. Tried to reboot, still nothing. So I tried to connect to the computer to reset it and restore the operating system, but it does not connect. I bought in January, but I did not like the other warranty... It should still be under warranty for manufactures but...

    You are able to reboot your device in SafeMode as shown in KB17877?

    I guess, because it is taken in a reboot cycle, when you connect to the desktop software it does not have a stable connection to reinstall your software?

    If this is the case, remove the battery and keep it off when you connect to the desktop software. You will get a pop up that the device cannot connect and there should be buttons retry, update and cancel. Select Update and you will then be able to reinstall the latest version of the device software.

    When the load progresses, you will see a step that says "waiting for initialization of the devices '. At this point, insert the battery and recharging must complete.

    Have you tried to download the latest BlackBerry Desktop Software on the site? You can uninstall and reinstall the desktop software you have on your computer.  Just be patient as systems and devices may be unpredictable.

    If all else fails, you can contact your carrier or service provider for the other troubleshooting steps, because they have a BlackBerry trained technical support team that can help you with this kind of question.

  • Calibration of the screen touchscreen blackBerry Torch 9800 Smartphone

    I'm the only one who has problems with the calibration of the touchscreen on the Torch 9800.

    It is so far the only complaint on the phone. If there are useful tips out there, please answer!

    What sort of calibration are you looking for?

    I have my tactile sensitivity value:

    Type the interval: 450

    Period of hover: 600

    Slide sensitivity: 5

    It works well enough for me. If you are leaving your finger hovering over, increase the hover higher, say 800.

  • Questions of General synchronization to blackBerry - Torch 9800 Smartphones

    I'm syncing my Torch 9800 on my desktop Outlook 2010 calendar and Contacts. I have Office Ultimate one-way comms Manager TO the device from the desktop (at least for now). Whenever I synchronize Organizer, all contacts in 1060 and 70 a few dates in the calendar are deleted from the deivce and replaced by desktop (I have the config set so that the office replaces what is on the device). Is there a way I can have just the new or changed items be sent to the device?

    I was also to have the famous AT & T address book synchronization problem and done a wipe clean the phone, uninstalled the Office Manager and purged the register what anyone saying blackberry or researchinmotion. After all that, if I go to the torch ALL | Contacts | Menu | Options AT & T address book is still listed over TOP of the LISTS of CONTACTS, with a DEFAULT header listed below this header. If I sync, I get the data you want to Outlood the torch, but if I turn the torch OFF then turned back on, it starts looking for the database AT & T. I spoke with AT & T and they have disabled access to the database on my account, but I can not get the torch to forget. I'm under version 6 bundle 2647 because I had trouble with the version 7 and read that I was not alone in this. Any IDE?

    Much thanks!

    Hi MikeyChris,

    Have the BlackBerry Desktop Software to replace the data on the BlackBerry smartphone, just that he takes everything off the BlackBerry and then changes by what is in Outlook. If you disable this feature, it will just update the data on your device.

    To clarify the AT & T 'question' Addressbook you talk, you say that these contacts appear automatically on your device and you want to delete this?

    Thank you.

  • Missing icon of MSG TEXT blackBerry Torch 9800 Smartphone.

    After reading through the forums, I have not found a resolution to my message text missing on my BB Torch icon. It was a few days ago, but he has disappeared since. I have read and tried a few things. It does not yet show upward in the menu (device/delete data) after I have sync'd. I do not receive the messages but without notification. The length in characters is also only 28 per message (incoming). The outgoing is OK. The contacts are all here... the SMS in the menu it is checked.  Also, I don't get FaceBook notifications. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.    DG

    Hi JSanders... Thanks for the reply...    VIEW ALL is checked off... but in introductory Messages, there is no text (I just tested with a different cell)... the only way to retrieve the text is to go to CONTACTS and check all contacts to see if there is a SMS msg. They are not in one of these other (APP, IM, DL) matters either. It seems I've lost the SMS application.

    Open your Messages folder > Options > Inbox management. Is there a check mark next to 'SMS' or not? If so, uncheck the box.

    If this does not work, reinstall your OS on the torch.

    See the link below for download and simple installation instructions.

    First find your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphones, unable to connect to Wi - Fi

    When I created my Torch 9800 to connect to Wi - Fi, the home screen indicates the SSID of the access point, but when I try to use the browser, it displays "unable to connect to the internet, please try again later.

    The 'Device and status Info' screen reports the WLAN IP address as 0.0.0.0.

    My Wi - Fi point reports that the BB is 'on' and it is assigned an IP (192.168.2.17).

    At one point my initial screen has reported that three available updates.  However, whenever I clicked on a line with an update, an error message reported that "the data service is not operational" and the message about the update have disappeared.

    Snooping with Wireshark show that, when the BB is enabled, an ISAKMP tunnel is established between the BB (at the address 192.168.2.17) and segw.uma.rogers.com (to 74.198.30.49), so there is absolutely nothing wrong with the wireless connection.  (My cell provider is Rogers).

    My BB was received (all-new) beginning April 2012, and I've updated the device of the bundle bundle 6.0 695 to 6.0 2921 on 2012-04-12, after installing the Software Desktop on my PC.  (Desktop software offers the update, I did it just; I wasn't even aware of this community at later.)

    Any help to solve this problem will be appreciated!

    «... and that I should contact the manufacturer of your device to solve Wi - Fi problems.»

    It's news to me.  Way to go with customer support, Rogers!

    And what happens if your browser did not work at all?  It is not cellular, it's the internet.

    This gave me the idea.  After having poking around in the different screens of the phone, I realized that defining "Data Services" under "Mobile network" to "off" turns off * all * data services, including a Wi - Fi connection.  This opens me to charges on cellular data binding, but the flaw in my plan "pay-as-you-go" is to ask me money before allowing access (and only for navigation), so as long as I open the browser outside of my home and my work, I'll be OK.

    Thanks for the tip.
