My 8310 a few days ago started to act on its own accord. it started to open programs without me touching it. and sending text messages, and also making phone calls. I love my curve and I don't know what could be making it do that. Could any of you fellow curve users shed some light on this mystery.

More times than I can count...

[acidbaby]

what did you pay?

[janet_byars]

what did you pay?

$310

Package, the phone and all its junk, the micro sd card, and a leather case.

Contact the seller and ask for a refund.

My wife's Curve did this and it ended up being a hardware issue and she had to get a replacement from AT&T.

[mofomikemunoz]

I hope you purchased the phone from ATT or a reputable retailer.....hopefully you are still under warranty.............


Good Luck...

I've had the phone for 6 months though....... maybe they can work something out with me.

[Kronk]

Call AT&T and ask for a refurb. Don't tell them you got it off of eBay.

If you bought it through ATT:

NEW - 1 yr warranty

REFURB - 90 day warranty

Now, keep in mind ATT invests MILLIONS of dollars a year to attract and keep customers.........my experiences have told me that when I call and am civil that ATT has NEVER told me to pound sand............they are wanting to grow their business by attracting and retaining customers.........

I am sure they will get you handled......be nice but persistent.......


GOOD LUCK

EBAY is not good for buying phones

EBAY is not good for buying phones

o really?

yea, I had one bad experience with a phone, but I was refunded full price + shipping.

buying a phone with no contract on ebay is LOTS cheaper than paying full retail. plus, a lot of the sellers are even offering warranties from a 3rd party for a low price. That's the best way to go if you're buying a phone off ebay and worried about it breaking.

It's not ebay, it's the seller. I purchased my 1st Curve on ebay last October -with no issues to date. Have you thought about wiping it (the contents) and start over as if the phone was nuked? Which in a way.... Just an idea. There is a thread for it. Check my sig Either way, good luck

It does sound like a hardware problem, most likely connected to the keyboard.

You have nothing to loose by forcing a fresh build, and the possibility it is a setting change.

The technique in the thread is complex, but we will help you through it.

Sure would be sweet to have unlimited international calling, but not yet.

crap..... i just really want my curve back, the 8700 is alright but i miss my baby

[doniell turner]

i have a jvm error513 how do i reset my phone

[ballinsol14]

I have heard more negative things from buying BB's of eBay that I've heard good. I would say that the bad FAR outweighs the good in terms of buying off eBay.

Your phone is haunted for sure... any ex's that might have VooDoo dolls?
