HI. I have a Blackberry Curve 8320. I got it from a friend who told me I could have it for free because he couldn't ever get it to work. So I fooled around with it. The phone just won't stay on. I tried putting different batteries in it that in other phones were full but when I put them in mine it showed up as dead battery and the phone just turns off. I've wiped everything off the phone and reinstalled its operating system and original apps and now it just stays on the hourglass startup screen for 5-10 minutes before it turns on, only to tell me a second later that the batteries dead and then it turns off. BUT, when I plug it into the computer when its off, I get a fully charged battery symbol. I'm so confused! Any thoughts?
Yeah it definitely has been treated badly. But I've ordered a new casing for it so I figured that wouldnt matter.. Unless that could be a part of the problem?
It's more than likely internal damage (water, etc). Just because the sticker is white doesn't mean there isn't water damage. Just means that likely the whole phone wasn't submerged enough to get the sticker itself to change color.
My wife had a Pearl 8130 that did the same thing. I upgraded OS', etc, and the moment I took it off the charger it did the same thing. Multiple batteries, etc, that worked fine in my 8230 (8230/8130 use the same battery) w/o a problem.
