Top 10 RIM BlackBerry Storm 9530 Smartphone Questions & Answers

Who is your carrier? Try to either calling them or log in to your account if thats a possibility. All your contacts should be saved on your profile.

It seems like the problems starts after using an audio streaming app (Slacker)It also seems to correct after a reset(battery out and back in).

mine did the same thing, but i went into the phone and checked "NO" to the mass storage mode support. to get there....go to "options"...then click on "memory". then turn off "mass storage mode support".

the Application error 513, reset message says that the device OS is toasted and needs to be rebuilt. In order to do this, you need to have Blackberry Desktop manager on your computer, your data cable, and a download for your device software. Either from blackberry or your carrier. The easiest method is to download and install the device software. Once it's installed, launch desktop manager and plug in the phone. If the phone is detected, you will be prompted to update. Follow the prompts. If not, you will have to do it the hard way. open command prompt (start>run>cmd) and goto C:\program files\common files\Research in Motion\Apploader Then choose Loader /NOJVM That's going to rebuild the blackberry.

I just called Verizon Wireless who said that the phone may need to be charged completely for a few hours. Try taking the battery out and putting it back on as well.

This may work. Mine was doing the same thing this morning so I was looking through forums to no avail.
I have been using my USB charger since I got my Storm as I left my wall charger in another city and only just got it back...
The phone would do the same thing when I tried to charge (off USB) depsite pulling out battery etc.
I went home and plugged into wall charger and left it (maybe 20 minutes?) and a battery with a lightning bolt followed by the loading page and it is now back to life...
Hope this works out for you!!
