Last night a friend of mine tried to call me several different times and each time the phone on his end would ring once.. then a message would say 'the customer you have dialed has the phone turned off'...

Meanwhile - my phone was defiantly turned on as I kept checking it to find out why that person was not calling me.

I have lots of signal where I am at.. all bars etc....

This happens at random times no matter where I am?

So I called the person around 1030 to find out why they haven't called.. they explained that they did but the phone was saying it was shut off. So I hung up... and they called back again to check to see if was working.. and it rang???

Do I need special voice activation software or how do I do this?

I back-up my blackberry 8100's information monthly due to the volume down control not functioning, and restoring a previous back-up gets it back at 50%. But as of now, everytime I try to restore a backup , the desktop media manger tells me "Error restoring database(s)". I have tried backing up 4 different back-ups and I get the same message. Wether I choose the option "Restore" or "Advance", I still get an error.
I think my only option now is to do a clean install of the OS. But I do not know how to go about this, so any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.



p.s. I also have a minor issue. My trackball rolls with no problem in all directions, however clicking it down is another issue. The trackball was covered with something like syrup. I think it might not have to do with the trackball at all, but rather the small metal insert that accepts the connection to the trackballs input...or am I mistaken? I have to press on it really hard for it to respond.How would I go about cleaning this (Remember the trackball responds to all directions except pressing it down).

I have stripped the BB down and washed all the parts, but I need to immerse the mainboard into some solution that will disperse the oil (it still smells bad) and not damage the screen or anything else, of course it may already be destroyed but I want to try.

From the main menu, select Options, then select Status.
ESN devices - On the Status screen you will see ESN on the display
MEID devices – On the Status screen you will see MEID on the display.
NOTE – You cannot install ESN-based software on a MEID device, nor can you install MEID-based software on an ESN device. They are NOT interchangeable.

I just removed & readded a Hotmail account from the myprovider.blackberry.com control panel.

Before I removed it (lesson f'in learned: ain't broke, don't fix it), email was syncing in the sense that when it was read on the phone, it appeared read on the web inbox. Now, after adding it again, after I read it on the phone, nothing happens on the web inbox!

When I added it the first time, it gave me an activation message about live's 90 day password change policy. After removing & readding, I get a message about "I need to go into my email client and choose "Leave messages on server" otherwise my emails may not sync" But I don't even use an email client!

So I tried a few more times of adding and readding, then I decided, Ok, I'll play ball. I installed an email client, and made those settings, readded the email a couple of times, AND THE SAME PROBLEM STILL!

I called my phone provider, they told me its a Hotmail problem. BS! I have another hotmail account on my phone that I never removed, and it syncs up JUST FINE! I have also tried adding other hotmail accounts, and they all have the same problem.

I don't want to call RIM support because you're charged for it.

What can I do?
