BlackBerry Torch Blackberry Smartphones getting wet in the rain

Hello

I write this on my Blackberry Torch 9800 well wet in the rain and since has stopped working.

I bought in Dubai, but I live in Greece. According to my knowledge is considered as there is no Blackberry dealers or shops in Greece. Can you please suggest me what I can do?

1. this problem applies in my warranty?

2 if not, how and where can I fix it?

Thank you

First of all, I immediately remove the battery of the device, wrap the device in a Microfiber cloth and place it in a bag of rice.  This will draw moisture from the unit and could very well blow little life back inside.

Second, this type of problem is NOT covered by the warranty, unless you've purchased a secondary insurance.

Try to leave the camera in the bag of rice for a few days.  After a few days, reinsert the battery and see if it will power.  I've heard that a lot of people have had success with this method.  Just need a little patience.

Otherwise, your service provider will be your first line of support to contact the RIM resources to repair your device.

    Hello. Just got my Storm a few weeks ago and have worked to customize it as I want. My question is this:

    I removed the app to Flickr through my Blackberry Desktop Software and removing the application Flickr. I double checked that the software is not on my phone by going to Options > Advanced > Applications and the Flickr isn't here. HOWEVER... the stupid icon is still on my screen and I can't get it off. I tried select the icon, and then check the options, but it does not allow a 'delete '. Then. Anyone know how to get rid of this garbage on my phone?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Getting fatal when the device 4.5 software update

    Hello

    I have a BB 8800 and I wanted to update the device software to the last v4.5 as mentioned on the website of blackberry. So, I downloaded 8800M_PBr4.5.0_rel108_PL2.7.0.78_A4.5.0.81_Rogers.exe and used the last office v4.7 to install it. The process went well until near the end, he has made a fatal error with no specific error code or message and after that my camera did nothing about it. It shows just a screen white with code 507 or 561.

    I could get by installing Desktop Manager v4.3. and by following the instructions here:

    http://CrackBerry.com/BlackBerry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-BlackBerry

    I don't know if the USB power management was the cause, but I could go.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones get video off the POWER unit to the PC? 3GPP to other formats?

    This shouldn't be so hard...  I have a few videos of the devcie I want to transfer them to the hard drive on my PC.  I used the Desktop Manager and when I choose MY MEDIA a Roxio application is launched.  I moved the video of the MY DEVICE to MYMEDIA but which does not actually change the video files on the hard drive.  I did eventually fined the files in a folder MY PICTURES/DEVICES DOWNLOAD but they are in a format that none of my video editing software will import.  So, is there an easier way to import media and it can be saved in one format other than the 3GPP format?

    On your media card, allow the mass storage and move the files of your press simply pass through "My Computer" on your PC when connected via USB.

    See details here:

    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/How_do_I_add_media_files_to_my_microSD_card%3F

    3gp format is playable in several media players of PC, I think that Quicktime is one. Just use a video converter to transfer in the format you prefer.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Get app world works... the 8520 using a mac...

    Help me please! I tried everything, I just bought a BlackBerry 8520, v5.0.0.681 (Platform 5.2.0.67) and I was so happy, but now I do not know... I can't get anything to work... well ok, I can call and send SMS messages... but I was expecting a little more

    I can not install the app world, I really tried to find solutions before writing, but I can't find anything that helps...

    I tried first on the mobile; It has installed but says something about an unsupported version, so I uninstalled the app...

    then I tried with the desktop software, it gives me this message: BlackBerry Desktop Software could not validate your update to the BlackBerry device. Aborting installation because of the failure of the validation. Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies...

    If I'm going to try one the web, I get this message after choosing the stem;

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Your BB OS is outdated... you need to update... the current version is 5.0.0.1036. Here's what I recommend... Since you are on MAC, which makes it a bit more difficult that the sets of tools to deal with things are much more limited on MAC:

    (1) properly uninstall the RIM desktop software:

    • KB18771 Install and uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

    (2) obtain a new download of the RIM Desktop software:

    (3) install the software on your MAC Desktop

    • KB18771 Install and uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer

    (4) now run the Desktop software, connect your BB when prompted and perform a clean reload of your BB OS, choose the most recent version that it offers (if all goes well, 5.0.0.1036):

    • KB19915 Perform a clean reload of software applications smartphone BlackBerry using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer
    • If you have no data on the BB that concern you, and then simply proceed with this update. If you have data on the BB, do not agree that the update and first perform a manual backup of your BB to your Mac. After the update, you may need to restore from this backup (update COULD take a backup itself and restore for you).

    (5) close the Desktop software and unplug your BB when it's all over.

    Now, you must do these steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

    (1) registry HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network

    (2) remove and return Service directories

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, 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.

    I hope that will move things again for you! Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Google sync on the blink?

    Hello

    I just deleted google sync app to my BB and took the advice of RIM here to allow syncing of my BB calendar with my google calendar - http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB24204&sliceId=2&cm...

    However, despite advice it is certainly not true that "contributions sent the BlackBerry smartphone are synchronized with the calendar based on the web in a few seconds." I saw an entry on gmail after 10 minutes and I'm still waiting for the others.

    Is there a known issue with this? I have no problem with the network at all.

    Thank you

    Luke

    If please try reebooting your phone and connect to your google calender after 5 minutes.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones try to reload the OS for the torch 9810

    Hello, thanks to prince FYI that get me away with messages of uncaught exception that stopped me to access apps or the homepage on my Torch 9810

    I contacted Blackberry support by phone and said a tax of $50 for any technical advice should contact my operator first. Contacted my operator who said because the phone could not be accessed, I had to wipe my BONES and then they loaded OS for me. Travel back to the store from my operator the next day, then told by another technology that they not reload OS and would charge $200 to send away for a few weeks to load. Not happy! I need my phone to work to be able to take on the very sick old parents emergency calls.

    I downloaded from the website of BB to my correct computer OS for my torch 9810 and then followed all the steps mentioned in the previous posts. I downloaded BBSAK and proceeded to clean my phone. Perfect is not a problem. Then, I followed the instructions to open Loader.exe and followed all the wires. Problem came in a dialog box saying that there is no OS on the computer to install on my phone. HUH! I tried 3 downloads similar BONES and the same problem. Searched my computer and cannot find anywhere, any OS. Now have a Blackberry without an operating system and are in desperate need of work.

    Any help with this dilemma would be highly appreciated.

    See you soon

  • 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.

    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.

  • Smartphones Blackberry Curve 8520 blackBerry battery gets really hot, the battery dies.

    I have a blackberry 8520, I've had it for about 2 months now.  My blackberry battery gets really hot for the hour, the battery dies.  This happens randomly.  First time it happened to me I was in a movie theater and had the phone on silent. The second time it happened I he was wearing my belt and got home on fort.  I do not keep applications running and usually only use the phone for txts and emails. My fiancee bought his blackberry curve 8520 the same day and it has the same problem.  My blackberry is updated with the latest version of the software.  Anyone else have this same problem?  Any advice on what could be the problem?  Thank you

    Even if you do not, there was probably an application running in the background, even left a current Web browser.

    Or, your battery could be bad. It happens. If the problem persists, you can redeem it at your local retailer.

  • Backup BlackBerry Smartphones get BB protect compared to the clouds

    Hello world

    I tried the manual backup yesterday by the site Web de Blackberry Protect. I successfully backed up the first time and made a few changes on my BB Curve 9300. Freed from some space by deleting messages and other data. I also want to return to the top of that State or to this specific point, I did the backup through the site Web of Protect. To my surprise (and I'm not aware) the new backup crushed my previous where in I need important messages I deleted expects that the backup will just create another set of backup rather than crush the other.

    My question is. Are there opportunities that I can restore this backup?

    After a few searches on Google and read messages. I knew that the backup is saved in the cloud that has lost the chances of recovering data backup with recovery tools that I can use.  I thought that if I can retrieve/recover deleted files and even formatted disks, technical staff of BB Protect or RIM could do the same and help me with my problem.

    Hope my message reached the Cloud for RIM or BB Protect administrator.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    First of all... this site is not a channel for any official communication with, support, or climbing to the RIM. This site is a community of users for volunteers who are trying their best to help each other, but we have no access to any system "back-end" to act on your request. If you really need official support from RIM, you must start with your support contract required string that starts with your mobile service provider, which can degenerate case RIM free of charge to the end user if such is always appropriate.

    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:

    OK... with that of the road, see:

    • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

    According to who, it should actually be different dates you can use BB Protect backups. If they are not, however, appear for one reason or another, they are not available to you through any means automatic... and you would need official support (above) of a human being to the RIM to see if it can be recovered.

    All this said, I hope that you are not solely on BB Protect for your backup needs. BB Protect only back up (I think) 8 databases, which is a small subset of all the content of all of your valuable data. FYI, here's the process that I always recommend:

    Daily - configure BB Protect to save what he can, preferring to WiFi if the network of consumer data carrier is a matter of concern.

    Weekly:

    If you're not up to BBM7, then manually save your BBM contacts to the memory of your device or Media Card

    There is an old saying:

    As insurance, the backups are reactive or an optional activity. And this process, in my humble OPINION, provides the best protection of all the valuable data that is kept on their BB. When you compare BB Protect backup actually compared this process to protect, I think you will find that the difference is very large. In addition, this process would give you 100% control to keep the previous backups.

    Good luck!
