Lock keyboard of blackBerry Smartphones (has *) and mute (unlock or day before) no longer works

I used to lock my keyboard by holding down the LOCK button (A *) and unlock by pressing the MUTE. The LOCK button no longer works

The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery while the power is on. Leave the battery for a minute or 2.

See if that solves the problem.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones has stopped receiving e-mail messages

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8300 and my ISP is earthlink.net. Everything works fine until today, when I stopped to receive e-mails on my Blackberry. I just checked, and I can send messages very well, of course, but do not receive them.

    Hmmm... I suggest a number of things. First of all, a 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.

    If that fails, then try to send your service books:

  • Locking of the blackBerry Smartphone screen/keyboard keeps activating while the phone is in use.

    I have a Blackberry 9810 "BOLD" and the screen/keyboard lock feature is always activate itself, even when I'm in the middle to send him a text or using the phone. Yesterday, it happened while I was talking on the phone and he cut the call. I can't find an option on my phone to activate switch. How can I solve this problem, because it's practically what makes my phone useless.

    Hello

    Well, first of all... No... no 'BB support' can answer you here. This is because, when they gave to you when you register on this site, this site has nothing to do with any formal support any. On the contrary, it is a community of users where volunteers try to troubleshoot other kind souls to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, no response would mean that anyone who took the time to read your post has something useful to you.

    From what you describe, I would infer that there is a wrong application behave which interferes with the function of locking, or maybe your operating system is somehow corrupted, or maybe a combination of the two. What I recommend is the following:

    1. Reload your own OS and as "skeleton" as possible (for example, whatever it is optional, let power off)
    2. If the problem immediately presented, then repeat step 1, but with an OS different package... maybe there's a bug in the specific operating system you run.
    3. If the problem does not immediately, then run for maybe a week-long enough to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. If the behavior does not after a week, add just one thing (just one... no matter how tempting it is to add more!)
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the behavior is, how well do you know the culprit
    6. If the behavior does not, then you know that reloading the OS or switch to another operating system package was the cure.

    If none of this he healed, then you will have a physical hardware problem for which assessment in the hand by a qualified material is of course necessary. If you are under warranty, you seeking your warranty provider - normally your place of origin of the purchase, your provider of mobile service or one authorized service center (it varies by location, but you should have received the documentation at the front that tells you exactly how to use your warranty).

    Good luck!

  • Landscape keyboard in Mode for blackBerry Smartphones has all the keys!

    Really panicking here. Updated my sys to 4.7.0.75 software, and now my keyboard in landscape mode has all the keys. The keyboard looks like a hybrid of the full qwerty and suretype keyboard view portrait, with two letters in a single touch. Some keys have letters on them.

    In addition, portrait view multitap keyboard has all the keys. There are exactly eight keys with letters attributed to them. Areas where there would normally be keys and letters are empty.  View portrait suretype keyboard works perfectly fine.

    I don't know how it happened. Someone at - he lived the same problem? Anyone got a fix?

    Remove the battery for 15 seconds, then replace them.

  • My screen blackBerry Smartphones has been frozen all day? Help, please!

    Okay so I recently bought a blackberry 9800 torch of my friend, its not in poor condition but it has a few scratches on it. the phone also worked well for her.

    This morning, installed an app to rename my files of music, called MTagz or something like that

    directly after the installation, a grey box with a blue loading circle sign and the word loading it appeared. I thought he'd go after a while, but long story short, he didn't.

    Ive tried to restart and turn my phone off, then on, but it won't work. If I could, I would like to uninstall the app, but my phone is completely insensitive.

    I can enter my PIN and password, but as soon as the shoes at the same time the touch screen home screen and keyboard do not work. I can also press the menu button to switch between windows, but when these windows open again I can't do anything.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Given your procurement method, I recommend that to start here:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    Ensure that all measures are properly carried out in order to completely divorce the BB from accounts of friends and thus to be able to create entirely what you need for you alone.

    Regarding your question as stated, 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.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, 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.

  • Theme of blackBerry Smartphones has frozen my blackberry

    I downloaded a theme on the morning of the bb app world now my phone is frozen. Its stuck on the main screen and it is locked. All buttons are inadmissible unless the caps lock, shift, and alt button. I tried removing the battery and putting it back on nothing has changed. It just says: initializing with a green circle, and that's it.

    After downloading the theme, he asked if I wanted to apply, this small clock for the load came out. The phone took the time to apply so I went to remove the other themes to free memory to make it faster. After you remove the other theme, it got stuck on authentication for a long time, so I took out the battery. When you restart the bb the new theme has been applied, and now the phone is stuck on the main screen. Help, please!

  • Contacts blackBerry Smartphones Nokia and Motorola conversion in Blackberry contacts

    I got a deal of my new carrier for two new BlackBerry for the price of a more expensive. So I got a 9700 "BOLD", then my wife receives a Pearl 9100. Now, previously, we used two different phones, she was using a Nokia 3500C (GSM), while I was using a Motorola KRZR K1M CDMA (). I tried port both of our lists of contacts from phone above.

    First, I tried to copy the contacts to my wife in the Nokia SIM card. I then put the SIM card in its new BB, and it would not read the SIM card. I guess that's because BB is locked to a specific carrier. My carrier unlock our phones until we've been with them 3 months, that use me at the moment.

    Then I simply imported contacts into our PC with Nokia Software and then saved your contacts file to *. CSV format. I also did the same thing on my Motorola, with the Motorola software and also recorded one *. CSV file. When I tried to read the two contacts in the Blackberry Desktop Manager, he returned with an error:

    Error has occurred. Error code: 0 x 80040057.

    See the documentation.

    I think it has something to do with some of the fields that exist in a phone but not the other. I would have thought that their Intellisync software would know how to take care of this? It's the exact message even if I don't speak of contacts from the old phone to Motorola or the old Nokia phone.

    Same thing when I try to import the calendar entries too.

    This KB, provides a sample CSV (bottom of the KB, a link)... This might be useful in your quest.

  • Setup of blackBerry Smartphone email and BBM number on 9780

    Hi all

    Recently, I noticed that my bbm "n" shortcut did not, all the other shortcuts like memo, calculator, etc. have been working well. I cross checked the "n" key on the message, e-mail etc., which works very well. It was obvious that the key is fine, probably thinking of the device is in need of an upgrade of the OS, I upgraded to 6.0.0.706 to the download site for the India BB software. Since then he has screwed my application of messaging and bbm on the device configuration. The problem started after I configured my device after the upgrade of the OS, without doing something fancy. Now, I am unable to work my e-mail installation or bbm.

    The trickiest part, the E-mail setup application:

    When I work through installation and choose the email Setup icon, ideally it should give me two options. 1. business account and 2.  Internet e-mail account.

    After the upgrade the email set up gives me settings to choose from business accounts, where the option of Internet e-mail account? After a thorough and exhausting, research in the community, I heard people talking about relocation of the configuration of the e-mail application. Done that but still no go. So now, I can't add my e-mail address, ' coz there is no option or how to configure it.

    For bbm:

    I have a return to the top of my contacts, which I've tried to run over and over again, but it brings back me to the original configuration and asks me to enter the display name. Now restore backup should restore my profile/contacts, but it doesn't. On a positive note, my shortcut for bbm works!

    I would also like to bring to your notice that I have a bis plan on my device, active, but after upgrading my app world or native applications do not work on bis but wifi. Strange! Now the question is why would the upgrade of a simple bone cause me so many problems. I upgraded my phone several times since I bought it. This is driving me crazy and crazy, this phone has an excellent reputation and does not mean I am a bit disappointed by his performance or his now making me hurt.

    Please help, I don't want to empty this phone!

  • Small keyboard problem blackBerry Smartphones

    Someone had this problem?

    I had twice, using the original blackberry case.

    And Yes, I know, I should put it on backwards in the case... But when you work with this storm, you don't always look if you put it in your case the correct way.

    The keyboard
    is not so strong and the second time I took out the Ontario / button hang up

    And fixing it yourself is the worst ever... Comparing to Nokia...

    This is the second time now and no guarantee?

    I had this storm since March 5, 2009

    Hey harry74 - if the phone within 1 month, it actually takes.  What I've read, the occasional phone has a problem with the keys not being not not very attached, and this is not the first time I heard about what's going on.  As a tip, I always use the Pocket sleeve and have never had problems - even though most of the people.  Even without a guarantee extended, since you are in the first 30 days, you should have no problem exchanging (and even if it was on, the phone is guaranteed for one year against factory defects (defective keys are a factory default)).
