Okay I was just wondering about this and if anyone had this happen to them.
This morning when I turned my Storm on it wasn't playing tones when my emails came through. So I thought I might have done something to that sound profile that I have for my emails so I checked it and it wasn't changed so then I thought I might have left the phone on vibrate or silent but that wasn't the case.
So I went into my media to play a song that i have on my phone and it wouldn't play. I tried to play it a few times but it wouldn't play, giving me the message "Cannot Play Media While Phone is Active". After a few times of this it played.
I don't know what caused it...I kept closing the phone but it wouldn't work. Then all of a sudden it suddenly worked.
Just wondering if anyone else has gotten this and if they know what caused it and what fixed it?
I didn't do a battery pull but it seemed to have fixed itself.
What I mean by that is that I went to the phone like I was going to call, because it was still active, and clicked the BB button and hit close to close it.
Sounds like a glitch. Sounds like your phone app was stuck on, either it closed up on it's own, or a battery pull fixed it. If it KEEPS happening then I would worry and try to figure out what's happening.
I'm not sure what was going on but it seems to have fixed itself for the moment. I just had to ask, it's a me thing. I'll deffinantely keep my eye on it and if it keeps happening I'm going to take it to VZW to have them look at it.
Happens all the time on my Bold 9700, it's only a few months old. I have installed a free app called QuickPull, which automatically reboots the device at 3AM every day to try to clear the memory leak that is more than likely causing the problem. A battery pull takes 5 minutes 6 seconds (timed), and that is from a hard pull, not using the software. Even after QuickPull has rebooted the device at 3AM, if I get one call, I cannot play any MP3s, and my ring-tones do not work, untill I have done a (very time consuming) reboot.
This is an unacceptable critical bug on a core level function (phone doesn't ring!). Anyone had any luck from BlackBerry support?
This is happening on my Bold 9000 also. I am missing calls (because the phone is not ringing) - I know it is the same "Cannot Play Media while Phone is Active" error, because when I then go, for example, to media player and try and play a song I get the error message. This is ridiculous - it is stopping my phone from ringing so I am missing important work calls. Forget "Core Level Function" this is the MAIN function of a bloody phone. My 1995 Nokia never had this problem!!?? RIM technical support in Australia is hopeless, it is done through the service providers, such a Telstra, and they have no bloody idea about these phones - except to say try a battery pull. True, the battery pulls fixes it, but the problem is now a daily one.
