I use the key lock on my 8100 and have for the past year or so. Just over the past couple of days, when I pull the phone out of my pocket, the antenna is shut off. The phone is still on but I don't receive any calls or messages. What would cause this to start happening over the last week?
Ok, let me be the first to jump in with "have you tried pulling the batter?" That will fix most problems. If that doesn't do it, then someone else will maybe be able to help.
A similar issue happens to me also on my sprint 8130.
I bought the phone last December, soon after that updated the os to the most recent version, used John Clark's excellent guide to optimize the memory, loaded a few apps etc.
Since then, for at least the last 3 months I've not changed a thing on my phone (except for basic clearing of call logs, browser cache, etc). I also try to keep an eye on my memory, and reset every few days so it does not drop below about 15MB or so.
So weird thing is, everything has been fine until the last month or so... now my data connection consistently turns itself off. I then need to go into "manage connections" and toggle it back on. Same thing with the bluetooth radio.
Been meaning to come here to do a search on the issue and see if anyone else has the same problem; stumbled upon this post so I thought I'd share.
I should mention that my voice service does not have any issues; I can always receive calls.
Funny you should mention that. It hasn't happened often (maybe 3 times in the last few weeks) but I'll look at my phone and the radio will be off. I'm not doing anything different than I was doing when I first got it. The only major change I've made is to install Jive Talk and I don't think that is the cause (otherwise, many others would be complaining!!).
Yeah my started that a few days after I got mine pay no attention 2 it tho but after I read the guide about 15 file free I have not had that prob in a while
Ive started having this problem also. I shut down my BB at night and when I put it on, the antenna is off, doesn't happen all the time but frequently. Any one able to fix this problem?
mine does this during the night while on the charger it goes to sleep and turns everything off then in the morning when it wakes it doesnt turn the radio back on
I know that I have the issue with the bluetooth going disables many times through out the day, first noticed it on my 8130 and the same thing is happing on my 8330....
