Button blackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8320 unexpected behavior

Hi community

I now own a BB Curve 8320, which arrived March 7 th 2010 with OS v4.2.

Having previously & successfully upgraded the OS on my BB 8310 curve which has an expensive screen problem, I downloaded OS v4.5 for BB Curve 8320.

I used this download: 8320EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel108_PL2.7.0.78_A4.5.0.81_Voda_Australia

Everthing seems to work very well; the OS upgrade completed successfully and before & after reloading the data from Outlook I could access the menu via the Menu button & do what I needed.

However, after some time of operation (i.e. on 1 or more hours), random unit see the menu when I press the Menu key and I can't answer calls by pressing the Green Telephone button.

Instead, this key and a few others will produce strange characters (e.g., Yi) in applications that can accept text, or does nothing.

I tried to help me with this problem by making a following and after:

Battery grips.
Hold the alt key, then press and hold SHIFT to the right, then press DELETE.
Reload the OS after the failure with JL_Cmder v1.9.1

I have read on this forum or on crackberry that I should consider the moisture under the keyboard and then proceeds to remove the battery and SIM and SD card then proceeds to the hair dryer the unit for a short period.

RESULT = everything works again for a short while (a few hours), then it will repeat the above behavior.

I'm a bit there is a simple fix of BB Curve 8320 or setting changes that I'm missing.

The 8310 has been solid on the performance... and honestly that miss me.

Please put me out of my misery.

Who is blessed,

Hello community,

After trying my own idea and add some silica GEL for the bowl to rice taking into my BB Curve 8320 & leaving for 2 days, I took out the camera fed up and had a brainwave.

I occurred to me that since this routine 'your BB dry' had not given a complete solution, while it was time to open the unit and correct what was going on inside.

So... on March 15, I found a local repair shop, said the problem, as well as to what this forum (thanks JSanders) suggest that he was wrong and ignored the diagnostic charge.

Finally, there is some minor corrosion under the keyboard, which he corrected and cleaned up.
I asked the tech if I took the phone to him at the time, and he said yes, that I didn't have to worry.

So now, I have a BB Curve 8320 with interchangeable spare parts of my BB Curve 8310.

CONCLUSION.

I think that rice and the desiccant, drying methods are best used to DELAY the progression of moisture damage.

However, if this does not solve the problem... then you must go into the unit. (i.e. you or a tech)

Don't get too long..time is essential due to the miniaturization of circuit traces are very small and corrosion can quickly make the device unusable.

Who is blessed,

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new Curve 8320 with MTN (stupid) - so fraustrating

    Bought myself a 8320 today

    1.) my provider does not allow me to use my own e-mail client; but when asked at the point of purchase said we could. It is shocking and a very disappointing experience with Blackberry. [any available alternative work?]

    2.) I decided to use gmail. the gmail app loads but does not - it cannot connect it is apparently a problem with the latest blackberry 4.6? [all known fixes for this]

    (3.) I can't seem to change the default browser, or point to the homepage of the default browser of the predefined home page (my service provider). [no clue on how to do this one is supposed to be able to choose the browser]

    4.) I can not remove the background of service providers from the phone - and I did not understand how to replace by something more pleasant (similar to the blackberry default background) [it is probably a mistake to BECKY as I'm not familiar enough with the phone to change the background still]

    (5.) to a friend on mine told me to buy a blackberry in the United Kingdom and avoid stupid trouble generated by MTN.

    6.) it seems no cards for the South Africa using Blackberry maps? So I tried google maps I used easily on my previous phone.

    Great looking phone, really happy with the comments - shame about the approach by the service provider. Until I solved these problems I am stuck using my old Samsung to read mail using gmail and use gmaps.

    T

    JS THX

    Your comments have saved me some time and newbie inconvenience. GREEN entre-clavier-and-user problem. The only reason why I decided to go with gmail instead of using the convenience of the push service (the original rational behind getting the phone anyway) has been boredom of additional costs ($10 p/m) when combined with the service provider, forcing me to use the phone with specific parameters - the nature of the BIS service has not clarified for me that this practice was an extra cost and could not be established with another supplier of services separate from the cell phone provider itself was boring. Anyway, this phone is way from my old phone - just would have had a better experience of initialization.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 9300 white screen

    Hello

    My BB used to plant recently and does not start until I have remove and replace the battery, yesterday I was on a call when it crashed I have replaced the battery, but he would not return to the top!

    I read the previous posts however I could not find a solution, I know that this is not a screen problem because when I blace battery I get "Blackberry" and the loading bar, it loads for 2 ~ 3 seconds then the white screen, seen a lot of posts to check the application loader but I don't have it on my PC.

    My PC cannot connect to the device, I removed the battery and plugged to upgrade, but my BB is on the latest version.

    Help, please...

    OK... Thank you... but...

    I have not apploader on my PC if this is helpful to all.

    If you have installed, your PC, the desktop software and/or a bundle of BONES for your BB, then you apploader. Reference:

    But, to start your diagnostic efforts, 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.

    If there is no Safe Mode, I suggest that you test to see if your battery is causal. Please try this sequence... Note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must be directly connected to a charger checked (not PC USB, not a docking station):

    1. With battery, connect your BB to the wall charger
    2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not
    3. Remove the battery
    4. Wait 15 minutes
    5. Insert the battery
    6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not

    This has been known to "revive" some BBs.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charged battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem. Carefully note please that 'new' and 'know' are not necessarily the same things. Although rare, a 'new' battery could certainly be defective. On the contrary, the easiest (and cheapest, btw) method to perform this test is to find someone with an identical BB which has no problem... trade in batteries and see what happens.

    Otherwise, then 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.

    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:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8520 (call and network problems)

    Hello

    Recently, my BB Curve 8520 got damaged by water & with immediate support from a local vendor, it got fixed.

    Just after 2 days, it has some issues of appeal & off-grid chess. To validate the question with the handset, I checked the SIM card even with other mobile & it worked perfectly.

    Now,.

    Should I go to an authorized service center to solve this problem?

    (If Yes, then please suggest a BB in Vadodara official service center.)

    OR

    Do we not have an easy solution?

    Thank you

    Kailash-

    Hi shahi_kailash

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Check here and locate the authorized Service Center near you, service centers for the BlackBerry Smartphones in India . But FYI as much as I know they will fix all the water damage to devices.

    You can contact any local Mobile repair shop and see what they can offer. But more often in a water damage repair BlackBerry smartphone will cost a lot and you can't guarantee that it will work perfectly over a long period, you may experience the same problem right now or a new. So I think better to buy a new device or an opportunity instead of this unit damaged by the water.

    I should go to implement. Configuration wizard, click on send Setup.

    And only makes its appearance in my device that says: I want to use a professional email with blackberry enterprise server account.

    What and how do I do with it. I am brand new in BB.

    Any help much appreciated, thanks!

    Note:

    Some wireless service providers and third-party equipment manufacturers have processes called master reset, factory resetor master clear, which erases all the data and parameters for devices user non-BlackBerry carriers, restoring their to a 'factory' or 'out of box' State. The clear Pocket command performs this function even on a BlackBerry smartphone:

    Maybe I do it by mistake!

    Do you have BIS (Blackberry Internet Service) active on your account rather than BES (Blackberry Enterprise Service) - BIS is the customer service that allows you to add up to 10 personal email accounts.

    If in doubt call your carrier.

  • Director of office of blackBerry Smartphones and Curve 8330

    I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 for my curve. The installation went well, and after it backs up, the curve works correctly. I wonder, however, if the Desktop Manager saved e-mails, MMS and SMS messages in a file on my desktop that could be retrieved and read later if necessary. I heard this answered both ways so far: Yes it did, and no, it's not. No one knows what is the real answer?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Well, two answers could be correct according to what you were doing. If you performed the backup, and then he did. If you have not run the backup, then it does not. If you performed the backup, then a file with an extension of the RPI could be saved to your PC - search your entire hard drive for *.ipd and see what you find. To make a backup, follow these instructions:

  • BlackBerry smartphone WiFi on 8320?

    Could someone help me to set up WiFi on my Blackberry Curve 8320? I don't have the Internet plan, but a friend told me that I could always use WiFi if I were in a range of WiFi. Is this true? I think I have everything set to the top (I went to manage the connections, WiFi, digitalised networks, running and put in my WEP for my home wireless). He says that it is connected with a couple of bars.  However, when I go on the browser, and then on the web, it says "you are currently not registered to a pan of web2go. Click here to view plans... etc.

    I'm doing it wrong? Can anyone help?

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Let me try and parse your sentence without punctuation of 76 Word and see if I can understand what are your questions...

    I think you meant:

    I can not connect to 2 wireless access points that have the same ssid. He tells me to replace the one that my router at home and at work are the same. I have to remove the one that made me enter the password all the time. No there is no way to change this?

    So, with this now readable survey, I suspect that the BB stores each WiFi network as the network SSID. That would mean no duplicates allowed in this profile on the BB database. I can find no documentation backup, but the behavior you're seeing, it's a reasonable assumption.

    To deal with it, I suggest change you the SSID on your router so that it is unique and, therefore, can store a separate profile on your BB and keep all the credentials.

    For that, I think that you meant:

    App world does not work on my mobile. Why? It is a smartphone from bb right? So why can't it use?

    Don't I have that right? If so, please check this page to ensure that you meet the minimum requirements (including if it is available in your country):

    If it is available in your country and you feel you meet the requirements at the level of the device, and then contact your provider to make sure you meet the requirements of the plan (to them) access (via their network) service to AppWorld.

    Finally, know that AppWorld is simply a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. Therefore, it is not your exclusive supply source - there are others that you can try (e.g., Handango, Handmark, BPlay, GetJAR and Mobihand). I found that there are very few applications that is exclusive to AppWorld. You can see the online catalogue and then look for other sources of supply, including quite often on the developer website.

    Good luck!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    To use the exclusive services of BB (including the ability to Push email, BBM, etc), you must have an adequate data of your carrier plan. Carriers BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) host for their BB users. In general, BIS is not available through generic data plans. Several ships make stop what is needed the Blackberry data plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier that delivers BIS users of BB- contact them for assistance. Once you have an email Push-enabled compatible BIS data plan on your BB (fees regardless of your carrier will charge, btw), your exclusive services BB will work (for example, you will have personal/Internet Email added to the email Setup Wizard, your BBM will work, etc.).

    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans it is impossible to say that any plan service could actually expressly provide for. Only carriers can answer this question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you want and then talk to your carrier about obtaining a data plan that allows what you want (to them).

    Good luck!

    Hello

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8330, keep or find another phone?

    When I bought my first BB Curve 8330, it was a few days after when I was told that I had to send it back and get a new one because of defects.  I came to know and love my 8330 until the trackball stopped working a few days back.  Now, it is the second BB Curve 8330 after only 1 1/2 months.  After Service of Sprint working on the trackball, they said I was approved for a new replacement phone, or keep my current phone and see what happens with the trackball?  Of course, I decided to trade once more my current phone for a new because obviously something is wrong with my current phone or they wouldn't swap a new.

    Question; What is the standard?  This is common with the BlackBerry Curve 8330 or total BlackBerry?  Should I start thinking about making another smart phone instead of an another BlackBerry Curve 8330?  My phone works very well with my work email and the telephone directory.  Any suggestions or advice from the pros out there?  I was told to come back tomorrow August 07 after 15:00 to pick up a new because they are "back ordered and in stock?"  Is there a known flaw on the BB Curve 8330, I don't know.  I'd appreciate your comments and advice...

    Pchmike,

    IMHO, I think that you should definitely keep your phone. While your experience with a bad phone is not the standard, any new device requires patience until the settings are completed, and learn you all the functions of the phone. Your experience with a stuck ring is an example of normal 'glitches that may occur when you start to exercise any kind of device.

    Stick to these forums and it will help reduce your frustrations. I learned so much and so fast, it is the best basis of knowledge I've seen. The people on this site will go further to help, especially because we've been there.
