    On safe mode, check if you have had the same problem with the touch screen as before. If it works, then you had to remove any recently installed 3rd party application or undo these changes.

    If the problem persists then you should also consider a reload of the OS, any software problem can be fixed by reloading.

  • 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!

  • Screen of blackBerry Smartphones does not lock

    After pressing the locking button of the screen on the top of the torch, the screen turns off for 3-4 seconds and turns on automatically. the keyboard does not lock with this lock button and the screen stays on continuously, even if the backlight dim option is set to 20 seconds.

    Would amp, you reboot and see if it works correctly?

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

  • Lock icon keyboard blackBerry Smartphones disappeared off the coast of the home screen

    The keyboard lock icon was on the home screen until I installed the updates that have been sent to me today on my BB.  Now that the icon has disappeared.  Check the Section help and could only know how to lock or unlock the screen manually.  Check the instruction booklet provided with it. again without help.  Searched through the BB Curve Demo Online - still nothing on the addition of the back icon.  It was so easy just push this button and not to worry about the keys in my pocket or your purse... How do I get it back?  If I'm not back I won't install updated any longer because I found that I got ro reset things like I wanted to... moving icons of folders to the homescreen etc... Please tell me there is a way to get this back... just bought this BB in June and a first I possessed and it is difficult to do without... HELP BEGINNERS please SO that SHE DID NOT feel LIKE SUCH a "dummy" LOL - thank you in advance for any advice that gives me!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Looks like you have updated to the point where the locking function changed. In older versions, you had an icon on the screen. In the latest versions, you use the power on top of the BB button do a keyboard lock. To get the icon back, you must activate a device password... then you will have an icon for Active password lock. How it works now, and the only way to change this is go back to a previous version, when the change was made.

    Good luck!

  • Buttons and screen of blackBerry Smartphones has stopped working.

    Hi all

    My Blackberry works today - strange as usually very reliable. Problems: I can used is no longer the screen - it high lights up the apps but they won't open when I push on, buttons work. And he starts to turn his car.  He gets calls, but you can pick up.

    Odd - until this morning it was working fine but now nothing works at all.

    What is really strange it is the sensitive touchscreen, but does not when you click. The screen lock has also stopped working. Basically, everything is bolloxed

    Any suggestions?

    Probably tired...?

    Thank you

    Tim

    Yep, it's pretty common,

    Do this now. Remove the battery for at LEAST 3 days and put the device in a bag of uncooked dry rice. He's going to soak up moisture.

    An alternative to rice, is leave the unit with the battery removed, sitting at 3 days on top heat emitting an electronic device, such as a cable box, stereo amplifier, something with dry heat.

    The recovery key is the several days without putting the battery to check it out.

    Remember, electricity plus water is not good.

    Hello!

    Your phone is locked to a specific service provider? If this is the case, call to ask for the unlock code.

    Another is that your device IMEI is blocked. Check with your operator.

  • Screen cracked blackBerry Smartphones

    Hi, my (soon to be homeless) daughter dropped her Bold 9900 aged 5 weeks and cracked the screen. I realize I have to pay for the repair, but that is difficult because no legitimate companies say that they can not work on BlackBerry, they will only repair if obtained from them, which includes CPW etc. The place I got it since are not interested because it is not covered by the warranty - voiding the warranty is why I'm not going to take it to a local repair shop/market and contact RIM is impossible.

    How the hell can I get this fixed screen and maintain the warranty?

    The guarantee went with material damage. You just need to find a repairman.

    You can always call O2 and ask them for the repair costs.

  • Options of locking/unlocking of blackBerry Smartphones

    Maiden Post. Be gentle with me!

    I'm here on behalf of a friend (he delivers my meds, so we can say that it saves my life), who inherited a BlackBerry Bold 9700 (I think) of his son. His son insisted on his setting a password (wise), but there now to unlock almost every time he uses it.

    Is it possible to be asked for the password to the market, but not after that?

    What are the choices are available? I skimmed the manual, but it doesn't seem to be much choice lock/unlock.

    I saw 'Do call during the locking' but yesterday he wanted to add a phone number to contacts, and this requires a password.

    We're both diminishes us in our 60s and on our stage, the need for security against ease of use...

    Hi Swiftie,

    Welcome to BlackBerry community support fourms.

    By default there is no option to set the password to powered only device. However, you can consider using 3rd party device app lock/unlock for this purpose.

    Alternatively, you can try activation request PIN SIM that will require you on powered only.

  • White screen of blackBerry Smartphones.

    Hey guys,.

    I have a white screen on my blackberry 9780.

    I already tried the following:
    1. I have pulled the battery several times but it didn't work.
    2. I tried a hard reboot, which also did not work.
    3. I used apploader to try to bring it to life, which also did not work...

    4. I also tried to take the SD memory card, but it does not work also.

    Could someone help me please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried (receiving) the battery by leaving aside for about ten minutes? Try this.

    If nothing, if your BlackBerry is turned off the power with a white or black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life may be the flashing red indicator light in the upper corner. Nothing seems to wake and Desktop Manager does not recognize that a device is connected.

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

    'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.
    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate type of carrier and network, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.

    Plug into the computer, accurate results in the phone being glued connection.

    I can't access the phone so I can do a factory reset, unless there is a way to do with going into the menus of the phone.

  • LCD screen broken blackBerry Smartphones

    The LCD screen is broken. Out of warranty and insurance. How can I fix? I do not want to fix it myself. I appreciate any help, thanks.

    None that I know. But the replacement of the screen is not that complicated, as long as you get the right part and install it correctly. Any cell phone repair shop should be able to do.

    You can also take in your carrier and they can get it fixed for you, but they charge generally more than a centre of independent repair. But again, you can take in and ask them a quote and they can let you know.

    Otherwise, just do a Google search for "BlackBerry repair" in your city, and it must identify a nearby repair shop. And do not hesitate to ask them guarantees, etc. Some may offer a 30 day guarantee on their work, or so on.
