Warranty blackBerry Smartphones UK and do repair/replace

I bought my phone last September as released on Amazon UK. It is delivered in the original RIM package, and since then she has developed several problems.

Problems include:

GPS system is deffective. A lock can sometimes be achieved and sometimes it will not. This includes times when I am stood next to another Blackberry user and it will not achieve a GPS lock when there is any material above the phone (ceiling, car roof, etc). I have asked about this problem on the RIM forums, and they improved GPS results, but it is still largely deffective.

I have noticed a green liquid emerging from the USB connection on the phone, which can cause some staining.

The phone will only 50% of the time receive a call. Quite often the phone will just send me a message to tell me that I have missed a call. The phone will not display that a call is being received. This is not a phone option as the same person can ring me twice in a row and one of the times it will not respond to the call.

The phone will not always respond to a change in internet connection, and will refuse to load pages as it wants a WiFi connection. This occurs about half of the time for all webpages, even if they're non-WiFi pages. This can only be resolved by connecting to another WiFi network. This occurs even with full 3G connectivity.

I'm tired to look for alternatives, and some of these problems seem to be repaired.

Is there a way I can just post to RIM and ask them to fix it in the title of their standard warranty of 12 months?

Kind regards.

I thought it might be corrosion as well, but that would mean that the device has been previously exposed to a sort of liquid.

To quickly check, take off the case and remove the battery. The battery must have a white label near the connectors. Is it always white, or is it red? There is also an indicator of liquid on the left side of the battery (only visible when the battery is removed). It is white or has she turns red? There is also an indicator more in the camera itself (visible only when the device is engaged). Unfortunately, if one of these indicators have turned pink or red, the phone is is more covered by warranty.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Bluetooth and Caller ID

    Hi all!

    New to the forum and there seems to be a lot of information to absorb around here.  I searched for a while, without success, an answer to the following question:

    Any BlackBerry smartphones (Bold, Tour, Cure, etc.) send two contact person AND number via bluetooth caller ID info or just the phone number?

    I'm playing with a Gigaset One / XLink Bluetooth gateway for home phones and that the number is going on the wireless phone, even if the name is known and displayed on my phone.  The manufacturer said that not all phones will send the name even if it is stored.

    So, I'm trying to understand if the BlackBerry 9000 "BOLD" does not send name, gateway does not pass along or cordless phone is not read it.

    Any help or information relating to the identification of the appellant via bluetooth would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Well, it seems that only the BlackBerry phones send only the number and not the name when it comes to Bluetooth caller ID information.  Even if you have contacts stored in your phone, and it comes up with a name and a number, only the number will be sent to the Bluetooth device.

    I received an email from XLink, indicating as they do know that the MotoRokr and iPhone (no specified people) actually don't send name and number calling info ID via Bluetooth, but BlackBerry does not.  I would check this info before I bet on it if.

    So, if you plan to use a Bluetooth compatible device to read or make the ID information calling pass of your BlackBerry terminal (telephone wireless, hands-free system, etc.) certainly has enough space to hold all of your contacts that you will get only the Caller ID names for numbers stored in the terminal.

    In addition, you do not want to look for one who can read contacts via Bluetooth from your mobile/smartphone specific rather than spending hours entering all contacts by hand.

    My headache started when I bought a Gigaset One / Xlink Cellular Gateway and has not obtained the names of the caller ID on the AT & T wireless phone.  Many cordless phones have only a directory number 50 which is not sufficient.  This phone has replaced by TL92270 of AT & T that indicates it can match and 1500 charge contacts of 4 cell phones (Yes, 6000 in total).  That should be enough... :-)

  • 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!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones transmit and receive went faulty but phone calls will be text. Clicking on the loudspeaker sound

    A sudden power outage hit my Curve 8900

    When answering an incoming call or outgoing call is made the exit turns into a clicking noise that is regular and breaks the sound out and the transmission of the caller's voice in.

    They cannot hear me and hear clicks and my broken voice

    I do not have them and all I hear is the click and their voice broken up.

    The strange thing is the phone sends and receives SMS text perfectly.

    I checked this point with my service proivder o2 and they recommended an update of firmware

    So I did and updated all the software and the fault remains.

    I have a lot of mp3 music on the phone and everything is working as is the camera and video.

    Pulling the battery is not a cure.  Remove the SIM card has no cure.

    Free space is 134 MB

    Media card has 2.7 GB of free

    I have only 9 applications on the phone. Ordinary things like voice transmitter calculator

    There is one strange notification slightly to the right of where a text message is waiting for my reading, but there are no messages in folders.  Saved messages are empty, but I can't read the message and the icon will not go away.

    O2 said that I might have to send it back for repair if the stuff I try do not heal.

    I have not dropped the phone or had of infiltration water etc.  He just started to do this when the fault I

    accidentally pressed a button which started an activation of voice command and he left while I don't use voice dialing of activation.   There is no mms on hold or waiting for reading or sending sms.

    A total mystery.  Anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing this interruption of strange regular beats of the transmission of two ways?

    This is usually caused by a defective headphone plug or dirty. Inserting and removing the card several times can repair but also could reproduce. He can't. If it happens again try plugging it disconnected again and again. If that doesn't fix it, you need to repair/replace.

  • 'Security software audit' blackBerry smartphones frequently and can not stop it

    I have a Torch 9800 - that I bought second-hand with a full reset. I got all my contacts and details copied by my local orange store.

    I'm totally new to Blackberry, and I find it very frustrating with an action of 'Check' security software often happening on my phone. The screen goes black with the Blackberry logo, and a white line slowly updates. Everything that happens I can't action one of the buttons.

    I went to the Options > Security (no services) state information > Blackberry button > check security software

    It passes through loads of ticks and said passed safety tests. But this action has not prevented frequent checking.

    What I am doing wrong? Or what should I do?

    Well, it's completely different. If your device is second hand, so now you go ahead with the measures of the seller and the buyer steps in the public knowledge base article:

  • International warranty blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello

    I wonder if I bought a blackberry AT & T, with the international guarantee torch

    If I had to be in Singapore, my warranty will be valid and where and how we serve our phone

    One question, will you use the device with the voice and/or data ATT international roaming service?

    If not then, real problem, you will always be an ATT customer.

    But if you buy the ATT device, use no ATT servcie and are not an ATT customer and unlock the device for use on another carrier? Of course, it is still guaranteed, but you will have a devil of a time access once you take the unit off to the carrier and retail dealer who sold you the unit.

    Here: http://www.blackberry.com/legal/warranty/handheld.shtml

    So, while you are covered, if you have a claim, it won't be easy. You will be in Singapore and to retailers it won't cover a device has they have no sales.

    You can contact RIM directly, but it will not be easy.

    My advice... buy a refurbished or used at a price less than complete out-ATT contract, get it unlocked and don't worry about the warranty. If something happens to physically of the device (which is not covered by the warranty anyway) so just buy a new one. You would always spend less money, in my opinion.

    Otherwise, you can get all the support software and operating system, you need here in these forums.

  • 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.

  • E-mail blackBerry Smartphones Outlook and BB not wireless sync. The BES.

    Hello

    I recently changed from seven years of Windows Mobile to BB. I am on a BES and the changes I make on the prospects to your desktop or Blackberry (Bold) are not synchronization in both directions. It's frustrating. My COMPUTER helpdesk advised me to "clean up" the BB a couple of times and we did it. Also my manager office of BB is not configured for synchronization as by their advisor who they explain everything is wireless.

    It of frustrating and makes me think how it was easy with Windows mobile. Help, please.

    Thank you.

    Your BES admins should work on the issue of synchronization.

    For the issue of the separate boxes of Messages, see this...

    By default, BES email is made only in posts emails BIS icon/App are placed in their own icons, but they are still contained in the main Messages application. This is how it works by default. It is not redundant - rather, think that Messages like the Tote place, with the BIS independent icons being a filter, traction (from message) to them only messages that relate to them... but if you act on an e-mail (read, delete, etc.) in one, the change will be reflected in the other.

    Your BES Admin can push an E-mail BES icon only to your device. This solution is free, but must be conducted at the level of the BES server and will affect all users on the BES server.

    • KB15003 How to create an icon on the BlackBerry smartphone to BlackBerry Enterprise Server messages

    Or you can get the application to empower BES Inbox. This solution costs (per user), but does not require a change at the server level and affects only a single user.

    Neither solution would do anything on Messages - will continue to contain what it contains today. All they will do is activate an additional icon on your home screen that is a filter for your BES emails only. You can hide or move the Messages icon/app out of the way, but beware - there are more that just the emails that arrive in Messages... it will come a day when you have a new message indicator and only by digging through Messages that you will be able to find this message.

    Or, if you have the correct device OS version (I know for sure it works on 5.0.0.32 8 of the storm), the device gives you options for what to display in Messages and you can remove BIS email accounts.

    I hope this helps explain how it all works!

    Good luck!

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones os6 and all I have is black screen reset/reload 'Blackberry '.

    I have a Bold 9650 and last night I updated to OS6, the undate seemed to go ok, I even had a little video to show the features, but then he told me that I had to update my email addresses, and when I did I was told to reboot to complete the update.  At this point I got was the start to the top/reload screen that says Blackberry with the white flag of the restart procedure.  The complete line indicating that the process is complete, but it is stuck on this screen.

    I have taken the battery several times, and the same process is repeated.  Any ideas on how to get my phone working again?

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much for this information.  It was my original plan, but I didn't know how to go on this issue.

    I ended up going in Blackberry Desktop Software and applications, I noticed that I had 2 email, configure applications.  Since this is what I was doing when it failed, I removed the older (thought it was probably the surplus OS5 and incompatible with the new OS) and it worked.  I did a restore and everything seems to work fine now.  And I'm diggin' OS6!

    Thanks again!

  • Warranty blackBerry Smartphones! RIM repair service?

    Hello community,

    I have a question about BlackBerry security or technical service. I bought my "BOLD" through eBay and I got a Bill also. As I see it when starting my "BOLD" is that the carrier is O2 Germany.

    Now, the bars of money between the keyboard fell of and I want to sent my BB on BOARD for technical service. I Don t know if I still have warranty or not, but it doesn´t question I'd even pay for it if they can repair. I already talk to O2 and they only repair with the original of the invoice I Don t.

    So my question is if there is a technical center in Germany where I can send my BB to and they look through it, if they can fix it or not and if it s possible how much it will cost.

    I already looked on the web and the forum, but I can´t find a direct contact with the RIM.

    Anyone know?

    Thank you.

    Mike

    Sorry, no you have a guarantee of purchase off eBay, unless the seller wants to justify the device.

    Buy new and third-party sellers (sellers unauthorized, as private sales on eBay) does not include a manufacturer's warranty, I think understand.

    You would be better out of touch with local smartphone repair center in the EU or the Germany, I don't know... a RIM service center it could be, I don't know.

  • Frozen Blackberry - warranty blackBerry smartphones?

    I was wondering if someone could I would like to know how long the Blackberry 9300 3 has as a guarantee?

    I have one who is barely 5 weeks old and it froze!  Even after I remove the battery, wait a few minutes and then put the battery back, it is still frozen.  It won't let me even turn it off!

    We took it in a Carphone Warehouse store (originally purchased online through Carphone Warehouse), but they tell me that the warranty is only 28 days!  That doesn't seem fair to me.  They were exceptionally useless and said I have to give them the phone for them to send to repair which could take 3-4 weeks during which I have no phone but I still expect to pay for something that I can't use!

    All keyboard problems, it looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.

    Really, it is more common than you think.
    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
    3. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    * Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):

    • Place the BB in a container of dry uncooked rice, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
