Default Pearl keeps disconnecting from network

Please Login to Remove!

Randomly my phone will disconnects from the network no matter how much or how little of a charge it has. It happens very frequently sometimes very minute sometimes it takes ten minutes to do so.

I have tried a battery pull and upgrading the operating system.

What to do you mean by disconnecting? What network? Describe . . . Is the mobile network radio shutting off and you have to turn it on again? Are you losing data service with the RIM network? What?

Off hand, I'd don't know. All I can recommend is search, if you haven't.

Post an update if you figure it out.




EDIT: Here's some thoughts. The radio will turn off when battery gets below some level. I know it seems to happen for you even when the battery is charged. But take a look at these things:

Are the contacts on the battery and on the blackberry more or less clean and shiny? If dark or corroded looking, clean with a pencil eraser.

Does the battery fit tight, and do the contacts look like they press together tightly? You might try putting a business card or a trimmed piece of card between the battery and the battery cover.

Consider running the battery all the way down until the radio is really forced to shut off, then re-charge. (The theory here is re-calibrating the battery gauge in the blackberry.)

It doesn't seem like it should make a difference, but bad microSD cards seem to cause weird problems. If you are using one, remove it for a while and see what happens.

Try another battery.


You've done battery pulls and you've reinstalled the OS. I don't know what else to do beyond the above.

Contacts are clean and I tried re-calibrating the battery gauge yesterday.

I will try out the other ideas and let you know thanks.

I have a business card in there plus a bit of paper its really tight and ii removed the MicroSD card. Still nothing...

I am going to go pick up an eraser and try to clean the contacts.

And will have to wait until tomorrow to try another battery

Be gentle with the eraser on the blackberry. Unless you really think they need it, I would wait.

Ok so I added extra business cards to the back and it seems to disconnect less with this in place. I still ordered a new battery and am hoping this will resolve the issue
