BlackBerry Q10 (Unlocked) fails to register for dots beside network signal
Hello all!
I proudly own a BlackBerry Q10 (also Curve 9380); the Q10 device is factory unlocked (it says, those three magic unlock words in 'Security & Privacy'>>'Sim Card'). I checked phone imei at w3times-dot-imei-dot-info, it pops up 'valid' and standard q10 device info. The awesome phone works with all sim cards (can use it calling/text/access internet on browser/use hub, email, fb, twitter, etc.).
The Problem, I'm facing is, I'm unable to use BBM and BB Protect services.
BBM says, "No BlackBerry data! BBM is unable to connect the blackberry server. Please try again later". I tried many "later" times.
BB Protect, "Unable to connect to the BlackBerry Protect service. Please try again later".
I think, I understand, why my device is popping up these error messages. It simply is because there is no 'white-berry' dots beside network/wifi signal.
Solution I tired so far:
1. Go to 'Setting'>>'About'>>(drop down menu select) 'Network'>>(bottom left dots) 'Register BlackBerry'. It always says, "Registration requested" (never heard back from bb server).
2. Go to 'Setting'>>'About'>>(drop down menu select) 'Network'>>(bottom left dots) 'Resync Configuration'. Not quite sure what it does; but as I noticed I did nothing other than popping out "Resync in progress. You may continue using the phone".
3. Hard Reset>>Press volume up and volume down key simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds. Phone restarts, repeat the #1 solution stated above. Nothing happens.
4. Reboot>>Hold down the power/lock(unlock) key until the count-down on screen hits 0. Phone reload OS. Repeat #1, again nothing!
5. Battery pull while phone is switched on; repeat step #1. Nothing!!
It is BlackBerry Q10 (SQN100-3) running OS 10.3.2.2836. To claim warranty, I must buy tickets to Europe from India; and that should cost me at least twice the price of Q10 (even if I sail through Suez canal).
(I'm currently downloading auto-loader to give a last try. In the meanwhile, I expect and welcome comments or just anything that you think could possibly help me out.)
I asked the above question
I thought, it'd ask me for my login credentials when I will finish writing the essay; but it did not. I also didn't find any option to edit my question (I apologize for grammatical mistakes.).
