for a few days my torch has been playing up, its been going really slow, crashing, freezing, touch screen not working, lock button not working.. and it all started after i used my friends charger. the reason i used my friends one is because mines broken and she had a spare so she lent it to me till i got myself a new one. its a genuine blackberry charger (she has a curve).

ive ordered myself a new one and hopefully i wont have anymore problems but do you think my phone is ****ed forever now? even when its not charging it messes up.. im having to restart it constantly for it to get to work normally. honest to god.. ive never spilt anything on it or dropped it.

if its to do with the charger.. heres the little technical details written on it..

MODEL: PSM04R-050CHW1(M)
RIM PART NO: HDW-17967-003
INPUT: 100-240V~150mA 50-60Hz 10-20VA
OUTPUT: 5V 700mA

This stuff is gibberish to me but im sure you guys will know. She bought the phone from the uk however she lives in cyprus and uses it there.. (incase that helps)

thank you so much xx

Output is too high.

The output from the stock Blackberry Torch charger is 5V at 750 mA. So the stock charger has a higher mA rating than the one the OP used. I suspect something else is causing the problem.

It's definitely not the charger. If you're not running the most recent OS (.600), you might want to consider upgrading -- a fresh OS install can often work wonders.

thank you, so do you think my phone will go back to normal if i use a different charger or is it going to be messed up like this forever?

ive stopped using that charger to prevent any further damage.

thanks again for your response x

I do not believe it has anything to do with the charger. The charger is a Blackberry charger well withing the original specs. It had nothing to do with it. If it works fine with her phone, it should work fine with yours. All it is is a USB charger.

Have you done a battery pull?

It may have also picked up some moisture. If so, it will dry out and all will be well most likely.

Strange. I say, quit putting it on that charger. Sorry, couldn't resist. There would have to be something messed up with the charger for it to do that and I cannot imagine what. The output is fine for your phone. I hope you get it figured out.

You could always reload your operating software. Just make sure to do a backup via the desktop manager first. Sometimes that will help correct little bugs that are crawling around in your phone. Good luck.
