Food soiled 8800 / wet of blackBerry Smartphones

My 8800 is is soaked with some grilled chicked salad juice. Yes, it is. I left it in the back of my doggy bag of food that I had put in my handbag later that evening spilled and soaked it. It had been extinguished. When I discovered this, trying to turn on - red light started to blink, then it turns green, then yellow, turning almost white, as he grew dimmer... I immediately cleaned it as much as I could and removed the battery and SIM card.

When I got home, I decided to dive into the water in order to clean all the guck... Sigh, a few hours later I tried to put in the battery and then it started making strange static sounds such as the screen fog up. I removed the battery and left alone for several hours in a bowl of rice - as I saw suggested on many forums. Now, I get just a flashing red, the sound disappeared, but the screen is black and it won't start. It is ruined or just more time needed to dry completely? ACK in? I have damage the phone by placing the battery in? Help! Unfortunately I didn't save my info. This means that ALL is lost - or I'll be able to retrieve my SIM card info. Sorry, but I'm absolutely clueless about such things. 1 million thanks!

In general do not too hard if you have any information in that generals.

If not - I recommend to ask someone who has experience in these operations, for example in the nearest repair shop.

If you insist on doing it by yourself, check out the following links:

And ensure that there is no moisture under the keys on the keyboard, trackball or on the cover of the unit.

  • Screen problem touchscreen blackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Storm2 9550

    Hello!

    I am a Sri Lanakan. Last week, I bought a Blackberry Storm2 9550 used, eBay (from a seller of e. u.). All the functions work fine except the touch screen. Can press on the touchscreen. (edges and around the screen) But he get caught suddenly, and also when am pressing an icon, phone highlights another icon. (as axample, when am pressing contacts in the home screen, phone highlights two contacts and sms). As I suppose, at this time there the phone detects it as multi touch and so I can't support what either. When am reset (battery pull) the phone, it solves the issue for a few minutes or hours, subsequently faced the same question.

    I tried to fix it by putting a piece of paper to the battery cavity, but nothing has changed.

    My storm is an unlocked phone (Comes to Verizon, but later unblocked), which is running version 5 software. ...... . 713 fact in Mexico 5.

    I want also to the last update available for my phone and how to update.

    You have other ideas on my problem touch screen? This is the main question, I want to solve as soon as possible. Do I need to fix it with a spacialist? Is it a hardware failure or a software? He solved by upgrading my version of software or restore to the factory settings.

    None of these remedies could work. Without practice, it is impossible for me to know anything 100%. The best advice I can give you is to upgrade your operating system to the latest version (. 1015). It could very well be that, as a device, it was damaged by the previous owner and it will never work for you. As I say, it is impossible to tell at this distance-internet.

    What is the meaning of the hard reset? It is equal to pull the battery?

    In my opinion, Yes, but there are others in the world who think differently. The best reference is the official:

    • KB02141 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone

    Most of us who have dealt with this for awhile understand that power should be turned on when you pull the battery.

    The other appears only if your carrier has eliminated an update wireless for you. You say that it is the "best way" for you... I would add that this is the MOST DANGEROUS way. You see, via this method update, on the device of data backup is taken, that is rendered after the update (the update effectively wipe everything). This backup is a file use 1... If something is wrong in the upgrade process, all your data is lost forever. The update method that I gave you is the best method that 1) it tells you first take a manual backup and 2) the process itself will also take another backup... and both of these backup files are stored on your PC and can later serve as a source of food since they are not 1-use files.

  • Scroll of blackBerry Smartphones are becoming very difficult to "BOLD" (with a pad, not a scroll wheel)

    Hello

    Scrolling became very difficult in my "BOLD", but it has a pad, not a scroll wheel, so I can't follow the spoken wheel and push solution previously in these forums.

    The symptoms are that it is difficult to get the cursor to move to the left or to the right or upwards or downwards, sometimes that it moves more easily than other times, but never as easy as it was until last week. What often happens is that I end up pressingteh pad too hard trying getting the top of the page to save the movement and thus itreads as a click instead.

    I tried to clean the buffer, cleaning of my thumb or finger, battery-out-restarted "BOLD" of countless times, tried with my fingers wet and dry...

    It seems that she has changed after an update has been downloaded, but maybe it's just my perception.

    In any case, what could be the problem and what is the solution please?

    Blackberry style 9670 phone. has just been cut. no power nothing. I got a replacement phone. How to transfer my contacts because the phone is dead. Incidentally, I have blackbery protect on the dead phone. How to recover information. phone is dead... Please HELP

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If the old BB is really dead, then it is not available as a source for restoring your data to your new device. Instead, you must use another source, one that you created before the old BB died.

    If you made a backup of office, you can use the backup as a restore source file:

    • KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data from a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file

    If you were synchronizing with a Desktop Organizer (for example, Outlook), then you can use that as source for restore reconfiguring the RIM Desktop software now work with your new BB:

    • KB03315 How set up the synchronisation of data using BlackBerry Desktop Software organizer

    As you use BB Protect, is also an available food source:

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

    You must be sure to connect to, on the new BB, the same BB ID that you used on the old BB. If you have already created a new ID BB on this new BB, then you go to your old ID BB:

    • KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet

    This will allow even you to migrate other things that were on your old BB - for example, documents of purchase/download AppWorld.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry not syncing with Gmail

    My Blackberry Bold 9900 stopped sync with Gmail. I only synchronize e-mail, contacts, or calendar. I mainly use Gmail site on my PC to read and delete emails. I have more than 70 unread e-mails on my Blackberry that were already deleted from the Gmail Web site. The option 'balance' has no effect. I can receive new Gmail on Blackberry messages, but if I have to 'Mark as read' or 'Clear' an email actions does not sync with the Gmail Web site. The same is true if I 'Mark as read' or 'Delete' an email on Gmail Web site. The actions are not synchronized with the Blackberry. I have 2 Android devices and a Windows Phone that syncs with Gmail without a problem. I just have the problem on my Blackberry.

    My device information:

    BlackBerry Bold 9900

    7.1 bundle 2435 (v7.1.0.862, platform 5.1.0.662)

    Reconciliation of BlackBerry e-mail settings:

    Delete on: mailbox & Pocket

    Wireless reconcile: checked

    On conflicts: mailbox WINS

    Gmail settings:

    Inbox, and garbage are included in IMAP feeds

    Also, I tried to delete Gmail from Blackberry account. When I did he told me he would remove all Gmail messages from the phone but it moved all the Gmail unread messages in my main mailbox. (I keep Gmail and Exchange separate emails on my Blackberry). It is also impossible to select multiple messages at the same time to remove if they are not in a consecutive order.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • 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! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • No. phones smart blackBerry smartphone made by BlackBerry - is it true?

    German press reports the end of BlackBerry as a manufacturer of smartphone.

    http://www.Golem.de/news/Mobilfunk-BlackBerry-entwickelt-keine-smartphones-Mehr-1609-123511.html

    Is this true? And delays in updating a hint of the near end of the BlackBerry smartphones? Both sell hardware as possible before moving to a software developer pure offering solutions to large business customers? And stop doing anything for the devices the year next after a last updated OS10 and Android?

    It is a promised how much official BlackBerry will support the PRIV and the DTEK50?

    What?

    "Stop us handset hardware development and take full advantage of third parties to develop the hardware and to distribute and support the BlackBerry handset brand."

    BlackBerry has signed a manufacturing contract, or in other words has had industrial partners. But BlackBerry has made the development and design, marketing and support. In the statement of BlackBerry itself, which ends. It will allow software; Is no longer develop and commercialize and support material.
