9850 issue - touchscreen becomes unresponsive
 

I'd had this happen a couple of times on my 9850 (both work and personal devices) where I will be charging it and when I unplug it, the touchscreen is completely unresponsive. Even if I wait for a bit to see if maybe it's 'just slow', it still won't respond. Only fix is to do a battery pull.

Has only happened a few times, but annoying... anyone else experience this?

I haven't, but sometimes mine won't wake up by hitting a key or touching screen. Usually if I push the power button it will wake up.

Just got mine in this AM... on Verizon.
I'll let you know if anything like this happens.

I have had the 9850 for almost a week and so far I have had no problems with it. I do unplug it in the same fashion, so far so good.

Curious what OS you're running.... I immediately upgraded my VZW 9850 to .353, and have had ZERO issues (If you don't count the phone not going into bedside mode on the cradle because I'd ignored the whole "smart accessory" thing. Totally my fault, though. Once someone pointed out I should RTFM and set the cradle's profile, things are peachy again.)

"I immediately upgraded my VZW 9850 to .353"

isn't that for the 9860, a gsm model??? are cdma & gsm os's compatible??? if so, what fixes/upgrades/advantages are in .353 vs. .261???

Re: 9850 issue - touchscreen becomes unresponsive
 

found .353 for 9850 online,,, loading now,,, off topic i know...

Re: 9850 issue - touchscreen becomes unresponsive
 

Yep, .353 is out there for both 9850 & 9860 - you found it I see. Some people were having issues getting email & browser to work with the issued VZW OS. Not entirely sure what fixes .353 contains, but I've encountered none of the problems others have reported with .261. Battery life for me is fine too, even with Twitter & FB set to update every hour. Moderate calling & BBM, a LOT of surfing thanks to the bigger screen & wonderful browser.

I have what came with the device - 7.0.0.261.

Had another very strange 'issue' over the weekend. I have a password set on my device and it locks every 20 minutes. I had it plugged in to charge over night and in the morning the device was not locked. It was next to me in a closed room all night, and I know nobody else touched it. First time that's ever happened.

Is this for the Verizon 9850?? "Latest OS: 9860 7.0.0.1672/7.0.0.353 (Asia + Engliish)"??????

Re: 9850 issue - touchscreen becomes unresponsive
 

You can use any carrier's OS for your Verizon BlackBerry as long as it's for your specific model. Just remember to delete the vendor.xml file as per the instructions in the BBFAQ:
