What's wrong with my Blackberry Curve?

Question

During conversations, my Curve will turn off, and reboot itself for no reason; it turns off, the screen goes blank, my LED light flashes red, and then the white screen with the hourglass appears. The hourglass normally appears for about a minute, but sometimes lasts only a few seconds. After it goes away, it just goes back to my home screen as if nothing has happened, and the call I was just on, doesn't exist in my call log.

Whats going on with my phone?

Has this happened to anyone else?

And how do I go abouts fixing it?

I'd appreciate any kind of help anyone can give me =). Thanks!

Answer 1

It sounds like your Curve is out of memory. This issue is resolved by deleting some of your apps or deleting some pics/videos/songs.

You can check your memory status by going to Alt + Shift + H

and look at the free file amount.

if the free file number is lower than 1 or 2 million, you have low memory, which will cause symptoms like you described.

Best advice if you want to store pics/mp3s/ringtones/etc on your phone is to buy a memory card and store all of these extras to the memory card.

Its also a good idea to reboot the phone every now and then, by removing the battery for 30 seconds while the phone is on. That will free up memory temporarily.

Answer 2

It happens on many Smart/Pda phones.

Most time your phone will recognize it needs a reboot due to memory or software conflict and will auto reset. or a reset was pending and never done, like software installs or uninstall.

if it happens frequent then you may have a program that is causing the problem. or you phone i low in memory.
