Take off the batterry, plug-in the device to usb and access through Blackberry Desktop manager. Email me for input: [email protected]

I would take the phone back, mainly for the radio issue. I have seen that issue before and it is usually hardware related. And the fact that it is a refurbished unit probably indicates that it is hardware related.

Have them replace it noting the errors you have been experiencing.

Hi,

Check you have Network wireless connection; i.e the sim card is enabled.

Then check wireless is enabled on the device option menu itself.

It will give you an error, report back what it says please.

Thanks,

try downloading the newest blackberry device manager!

First of all try restarting your device it may need a restart to show. If that doesn't work are you hiding some of your icons? check but hitting the menu button and selecting show all. If this doesn't fix it try going into your options and check your applications and see if messenger is there. If it isn't hook your device up to your computer and using desktop manager update your applications

if your right convenience is set to camera then go in to your options and set the right convienence key to nothing. Try to put the device in standby mode or set the key guard when not in use.

I suspect you have a Filter "on". If you see a bar right under the "Find:" prompt, that has a name in it, not a contact name, but rather a filter name, then this will be the reason the "P" search is not finding anything because a "P" record doesn't exist in this filter group.

Click on the Menu button (the one immediately to the left of the track ball, scroll and click on the Filter menu item just under the Help menu item. Scroll through your list of filter groups and make sure none of them are "checked". If one ore more are checked, un-check them all and retry your steps from the beginning.

There are replacement track balls available.

Here is a link to one:

sounds like the ball is gummed up.. there are several sites that will show, with pics, how to remove the ball assembly and tear it apart to clean it... but be careful.. it is not as easy as it looks.. i ended up buying a new ball off of ebay for under $12 shipped.. so i suggest that route

U idiot its called setting the ringtone

network unlock? is it a cdma or gsm phone

you will need to contact your service provider...it is free but it will take a few days to get the code back if they have tot contact the manufacterer....but you need the 16 diget code......after you get that, go to options, advanced options, sim card, type MEPPD. scroll to sim card, type MEP and pres the ALT key and then the 2 key.

if that doesnt work, instead of typing MEP2, try pressing and holding the ATL key and type MEPPE

if this works, a window will pop up asking for the unlock code....

This issue almost always happens when the BlackBerry device is low on memory. The link below shows how to free up memory on the device:

This issue is happening because the device memory is low. When the device's memory is low, the BlackBerry's Low Memory Manager kicks in and starts removing call logs and/or messages to clear space.

Request your unlock from your original network, if you have served your contractual term they should not have any objections to letting you have the code (there may be a small admin cost to get it though).

Gadget

Re-flash handset software choosing correct language pack.

Sounds like a software problem.

Upgrade your handset software and remove all applications during process so the upgrade replaces all existing apps with new ones.
