Torch Smartphone blackBerry dropped in water

I never dropped my Torch 9800 before in more than 2 years I had it, but when I finally did it was in the bathroom.  I immediately took battery, sim and wiped with a soft paper towel.  Within 30 mins it I plunged into the rice.  The indicator of moisture on the phone itself is white.  There is a small tuft on the battery that is red, but since I never noticed before, I don't know if it is an indicator of moisture or what.  About 24 hrs in the rice I reassembled it and it came on well, but I had in my haste put wrong sim card. When I corrected the error and I replaced the battery it came not.  I am eligible to upgrade, but I don't really want to if I can bring the torch.  Back, he plunged into the rice.  I've had some people tell me that it could take several days.  I can buy a new battery, but if I have to buy a new phone, that seems a bit like a loss if it does not work.  I saw on a forum from crackberry.com when RIM technology recommends the guy BB got sweaty to immerse the phone in alcohol for 5 seconds and then let it dry for 3 days.  I might try this as a last resort, but I can't bring myself to try right now.  All suggestions, pep talk about being patient... who is not a virtue of mine.

The standard remedy is really the best way to go: 4-5 days in rice and nothing less. Since you haven't spent the whole time, you should get the phone and battery back into the rice. The fact that you have already turned on the phone it could negatively affect but put two batteries and phone back in can't hurt.

Keep us informed.

  • Excursion to Smartphones blackBerry dropped in the water...

    Hey, I dropped my blackberry tour in the toilet for a few seconds, took the battery and separated dried both. When I got home, about two hours later, I put my phone in rice dry and it has been sitting for about two days. I took the lead by about a day and tried to start up my phone. my phone at all turns. It is completely fried? could it be just the battery? but my phone was also almost at low battery when I dropped it in the toilet. What should I do?

    Give him a full five days IN rice and no more check it out to see if it works.

    Yes, you could have fried, but maybe not. After five days, the device connected to a cable from charger from wall outlet and then replace the battery. Less than 10 minutes, you will know whether or not it is fried.

    Good luck!

  • Torch Smartphone blackBerry Bold questions

    Hi, I picked up a BB Bold 9900 after having a nightmare of a week with my BB Torch that I had been used for more than a year.  I have the following problems with my two phones:

    Phone NEW-BB Bold 9900:

    Despite transfer all my contacts from the torch to the "BOLD", many contacts are missing from my contacts list in the "BOLD".  Why is this?  These are still visible in my flashlight.  Therefore, it is absolutely useless for me to buy a BB if it is even impossible to recover my entire contact list.  Quite frustrating!

    FORMER telephone - BB Torch 9800:

    (1) touch screen, red touchbutton and keyboard are dysfunctional.

    (2) in spite of the withdrawal of the SIM card, the 'search box' on the home page seems to be hitting hlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhlhl... automatically WITHOUT ANY CONTRIBUTION whatsoever! (goose bumps!)

    (3) BB Desktop Software version is updated according to the update link.  Says the ad Office device using the latest version.  So not the possibility of an upgrade.

    How can I solve the problems with the two above devices? Help, please!

    With you your old phone, connection to BlackBerry Protect with your BlackBerry ID and do a data backup.  If you do not have BlackBerry Protect installed on your old phone, take the time now to do.  You can find Protect www.blackberry.com/protect from the browser of your phone visit BlackBerry App World.

    Then, once your backup is complete, remove the battery from your old phone while it is turned on and with the SIM card still in it.  Replace the battery a few seconds later.

    Now, remove your SIM card from your old phone and put in to the new.  Turn on your new phone and the connection once more to protect (the connection can be found using the link above).  He will see that you have changed phones and will ask you if you want to associate your new phone with Protect.  The answer is Yes.  When it is connected to the Protect, look for the icon Restore From A Backup File and select the backup file that you just created.  Load on your new phone, make sure he restored correctly, then you can remove your old phone of protection if you want.

    It's the best way I know to deal with the situation.  Give it a try and post back with your results.

  • Torch Smartphone blackBerry gel

    My torch works well until it itself blocks when I stop using it. Once it blocks it freezes and I have to remove the battery. This happens too to keep taking the battery.

    Anyone know a solution?

    The first step is always to try a battery pull.  You've obviously done some of those so step two is to reload the operating system of your phone.  You do this using BlackBerry Desktop Software then click Device > restore in the software.

    Let us know if that helps you.

    This isn't a matter of BlackBerry, there is a problem with your operator. Your carrier represents different monthly data packets, not RIM.

    You must address this issue with your carrier.

  • Torch Smartphone blackBerry tour market constantly!

    Hello, I got my Blackberry torch for less than 24 hours, and I'm already having problems. It was working fine until I had synced the music on it from my pc. When I unplugged, it flashed red and the light turned off, then restarted. Problem is, it will restart and then switch on and check the security software, it stays on for about 7 seconds, then the LED flashes again, stops, restarts, and done all this over and over again without interruption. However, when I connect it to the computer in a few seconds, it's actually the, it seems to work very well and I don't have this problem at all. It restarts as soon as I doing the USB.

    HELP PLEASE! This has certainly taken the brightness to get a new Blackberry.

    Siobhan.

    Oh and I did a battery pull & it has not made a difference & the phone is charged at 100%.

    Yes, I suspect that something is wrong.

    Have you moved this from another BlackBerry Media card, an older device of the 9800? If so, see below.

    If not, can you tell me anything else? Have you formatted this card while in the BlackBerry, I would say that if you can, and don't be afraid to lose all the files on the card.

    Read this on how to correct the media card (courtesy of John Clark, a different expertise here in the Forum):

    1. remove the card multimedia unit and put it in a card reader. This makes the rest of the process much faster. However, you can do it with the card in the camera.

    2 copy all the contents of the card on your PC.

    3. replace the card in the camera and go to Options > Media Card > Menu button > card. You wipe the card and reformat. (if using a card reader to remove the card and put it back in the drive).

    4. now copy backup ONLY in the media to the device. Don't copy back all the 'BBthumbs.dat' files or all system files. I went through the entire folder and delete all .dat files before copying the content of the music folder and the folders of photos to the device. The device will re-create these files. Also, I is not copy folder "current music" but rather just copied content and pasted into the folder \Blackberry\music of the card. Do this for each folder.

    5. Once finished put the card in the camera, and then try again the media App. He must walk to the music. If you have a lot of music can take 5-10 minutes. When scanning, you can open the music application and you should be able to see the songs move in the list when the device will navigate

    If after the transfer of all your files back, you still get a stuck scanning bar or device restarts so you have a file in conflict on the map. I saw video files to do this, but it could be a music file too or (less likely) an image file. Remove all the files you transferred and see if restarting to stop him. Then add each file one at a time to see if you can narrow the file which is the cause. When you have found the folder, and then you can refine to a particular file.

  • Torch Smartphone blackBerry called ID

    Anyone know how to activate the torch display the caller's name if its on your contacts list? (I hard it is a default behavior on all phones... but the watch torch phone number and not the name of the caller if there is on the list of contacts).

    This is how it should work. This happens when the phone is locked and unlocked or only when the device is locked with a password?

    If the latter is the case check under Options | Security | Encryption and see if the Contacts is enabled for encryption. If it is turn it off.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry Torch 9850 PC board of the battery problem.

    For the last couple days, my torch 9850 has been emptying faster than usual. The drainage rate was about 4.31% per hour. Unfortunately today, I was with my flashlight to take a photo when I watched the battery indicator drain about 80% of yellow to the red outline with the flashing led in under 2 minutes. The phone also randomly off followed by a solid red led, followed by 2 red blinks. Since this morning, I put a good known in battery. He killed that, in about 15 minutes. The only third party application that I have is The Weather Channel. The only application running is phone, SMS, email and contacts. I reloaded the software the first time that drain you.

    Hello!

    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.

  • Torch blackBerry Smartphones blackberry stolen. I put the phone to the index. But my pin code is in use?

    I lost my torch from blackberry to the University last month. I contacted my network provider and they put the phone to the index. However, my friends recently told me that my PIN is now underway to use with a different view of the image and the personal message. Therefore, I can only assume that they unlock the phone by changing the IMEI (which is illegal). Is there a way I can track my phone using my pin code. I still have a proof of purchase, including the box with the IMEI and the BBM pin on that number. I have not previously installed any software on the phone. All answers are appreciated

    If you have no third-party tracking software, such as the free BlackBerry Protect not average follow-up and recovery of your phone installed on your phone, you have.  Of course, your carrier may do if you provide your PIN (and perhaps the IMEI as well), but they won't.   Contacting them and the suspension of the SPINDLE should do the trick there.  I'd get back on the phone with them about what is (or was not) fact.

    I hope that helps you.

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Torch problems

    I have problems updating my Blackberry Torch with Blackberry Desktop Software for my Mac.

    I used to be seen Blackberry "BOLD" and backup of my files.  After I sold my "BOLD" and bought a flashlight, I restore data using the backup of the data of my previous "BOLD".  So, when I plugged my lamp again, this happened:

    First, they said: 'there are updates available for your BlackBerry® device software day.  You want to display the details of the update? »

    I clicked on the details.

    Then the window 'Software update device' is out and I clicked "Start update"

    -L' usual "backup and restore device data" and "backup and restore of third-party applications" have been verified.

    Then he said: "a database / files could not be saved" and it was card global Options, unexpected error and they asked if I wanted to continue.  I clicked on continue.

    And then, he says he expects 703 files to download and it just hung there entirely, after an hour.  I had to force quit the Blackberry Desktop Manager.

    Help, please.

    I had found a solution to this.

    When I update my Blackberry Torch, I unchecked all boxes that says he will back up third-party application and also my blackberry.  In other words, it will just update my blackberry Torch OS.

    I let run for about 30 minutes and finally, that my blackberry of the flame has been updated to the latest OS.

    Well, bother I know why it's happened, but all of a sudden, he decided to work.

  • Wiped Black Smartphones blackBerry screen now BD-software does not communicate

    Hello ladies and gentlemen

    I wiped my 9900 once he has had a black screen. Some of the advice here as wiping, backup and restore and so on tried.

    So I connected my bold 9900 to the PC so that I could attach. The device is Plug and unplug several times. After a while of funny characters appeared on the screen, then it went black then white. Before that, I backed up and restore. I tried to restore did not work at first. She turns on and off a few times then left it. Press a few minutes later the screen works. Then he has blacked out again. I wiped it and tried to connect again to BDS - but failed to connect with the phone software.
    This update option does not work someone recommended, it offers only a repair. BDS then checks the updates... "There are no updates available COMICS."
    Now the program files, then the common files, Research in Motion, the application and finally Loader loader.
    In the Application Loader Wizard, I try connecting pin: 2 USB... It loads so aka connection to the device and a message!
    "The COMICS doesn't have a Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator. »

    Please help what step is planned? I wiped with Jl cmder.

    When the screen becomes black like that and the device apparently work in every other sense, in my experience and what I've read of the experience of others, the cause is a failure of the hardware associated with the view. Usually, the event precipitating is a drop of water. The fact that it happened when you were troubleshooting tie may be just a coincidence.

    When it happened to me - machine of my daughter - everything worked. I could save it, reload the OS, call the device from another phone and answer... all but the display.

    I didn't not troubleshoot the hardware, but others. My advice is to look in that direction. Search for your device and black screen, no display not working, etc. Chances are someone it was fixed, and there may be a YouTube video.

  • Smartphones blackBerry "BOLD": cannot open attachments to emails or send emails

    I have the "BOLD" and it works very well for a month. Then, I got my Peral (an old that I dropped in the snow) to finally turn it back on and used the Fund Manager to transfer my contacts and settings of my "BOLD". Once I did that I can no longer use my "BOLD" to send emails or open attachments to emails. I get e-mails very well however. When I try to open the attachments I get the message "cannot perform more demand. Service book information not found ".

    First of all, what is the book of service? because I saw another post saying try to reset but I don't know how I could go about this.

    Secondly, any ideas on what I could do to make it work again? Is there a system restore? Or restore default settings to get rid of the changes I made when you use Desktop Manager to update my settings?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    On the Blackberry will first of all for advanced options options-host routing tables-press menu key and select Register now.

    You will receive an activation message. You are now properly registered with the network.

    The next thing is to send service directories. A service book contains information that configures the interaction between smartphone BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Infrastructure. It also allows specific services for your BlackBerry device.

    In the Blackberry, use the email Setup icon and log in with your username and password and send service directories.

    The attached link has pictures to show you how. You will receive an activation e-mail for each account that you have configured on your device.

    You should now be able to send and receive emails and open attachments. Test it to make sure it works.

    If you find that you can send and receive but not to open attachments, the second link will show you how to reset

    your Blackberry attachment service.
