I did some searching on this site as well as a few others and found nothing similar...

Encountered some error or another while updating the phones OS and since the phone won't turn on.

If plugged in to a computer/charger it displays the battery icon on the screen for a few moments before switching to an icon of a battery with a red X through it (happens even if the battery is not physically in the phone)

The phone is not recognized by windows or the desktop manager.

Apploader will complete up to the point where it says 'communicating with jvm' or something to this effect, then gives me an error about not being able to communicate with my phone.

I have run apploaded regulary and with the nojvm switch with the same results

not sure what to do from here, anyone have any ideas?? Thanks In Advance for any help with the issue ;)

Some days ago I dropped my Storm 2 and it fell on a stone. When I picked it up I saw the display was broken. But I realy was suprised, when I saw that I can use it "normaly"... watch the video below...

Hey All,

I have been scouring the net for an answer to this question.

I have an unlocked Storm 9550 with an AT&T BIS account. I have migrated all my data from my old Curve 8310 to it successfully, except.....now I have no e-mail or internet browser.

No icon for the browser appears and and under the browser setting, all that I can choose from is Hotspot. No internet option.

One last thing, in the email configuration, it only shows the BES option, not the ability to add from another email account. Very unnerving..

My OS version is 5.0.0.320
Platform 4.2.0.124

Is there a way to get the browser and e-mail to function, or did I just waste my money on this phone?


Any leads to solve this would be helpful..

Greetings fellow BB's...

Yesterday out of the blue, when I unplugged mt Storm 2 9550 from my computer, my computer rebooted itself and said it had recovered from a serious error. I had done a calendar sync through DM (same as 1000 times before).

Today I had the same problem. After the computer rebooted and showed the same error message, I tried just plugging in my BB without running DM and as soon as I unplugged it... BAM ! reboot and error message !!! So, I can't say that DM 6 is the culprit.

I haven't changed anything on my BB and this has never happened before... I am in big trouble if I cant sync my calendar.

Anyone have an idea on where I can start troubleshooting this ?

My computer is Win XP pro SP3 and all has been fine until yesterday...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this. I tried to back up my Storm 9550 with BB Desktop Manager 6.0 and recieved an error message.



"All data was not backed up. Some data is not included in the back up file"

Data Type: Entries
Compaitiblity Settings 0/1

Also, Desktop Manager shows that there is an up date for my phone but won't install it. So everytime I close out it asks me if I am sure that I want
to close since I have updates that need to be installed.


What does this mean? How do I know what the file is that didn't get backed up? What do you suggest?

Lately I have started to have issues with the camera. I would open the camera and it would restart instantly. After the reboot, the camera works fine. If I leave it for a few minutes, I'll say 30min, I would try to open it again and it reboots again. I don't get it, obviously the camera is having issues.....anyone have this?
