Thought my BlackBerry was jacked up. Stoner Mistake!

Man, for the past couple days my BlackBerry had been acting really fucked up out of the blue. I mean, it seemed to coincide with me dropping it on the kitchen floor which is hard wood flooring so I was hoping there wouldn't be any damage.

So, whenever I would get any kind of SMS/MMS/Email the damn would phone would vibrate and then beep, but I didn't have the device on vibrate. I had it set to normal and with the vibration set to "holster only". Well, I don't have a holster but it kept fucking vibrating and it was irritating me. I later switched the setting to turn vibrate completely off and since then it was fixed. BUT, I noticed that when I picked the phone up it would automatically open the SMS/MMS/E-mail which I do not want to happen. I have a theme that shows a preview of the message. I screen them for importance. This was a new behavior too that I figured was attributed to dropping the phone.

Turns out I was setting my BlackBerry on my SpaceCase grinder, which also has a magnet in it. The grinder was tricking my BlackBerry into thinking it was holstered. After 2 days of trying to figure this shit out... FFFFffffffffffuuuuuuuuu.

Yeah, i got a black berry.
I had a sliver one and it broke so i had to get a new one from the insurance company
Sure enough they "never" have had silver blackberrys and i had to get a red one
I feel like a girl every time i pull it out, damnit..

Ha sorry just alittle rant

I have run into that issue too. it was driving me nuts. I just got my phone to start alerting me on BBM messages again. i turned it off while stoned and couldn't remember what i did to turn it back on.

you can get all sorts of goodies for your berry at cnn.cn that's where i got my titanium colored housing from. or there is always colorware.com for that extra special finish.

I was thinking of doing the colorware thing, but not until I get a different BlackBerry. I have the Storm, and it is decent but I have my eye on the Tour. I'd like a BlackBerry with Wi-Fi though and that's not quite on Verizon yet. It's coming though, so we'll see how it works out. Thing is, I want my BlackBerry to have the unlocked GPS, as well as the quad band radio for world use. Wi-Fi too, and it is said there's not enough room without making the thing huge. There are others saying it is possible, but that the phone was basically cheaped out on by RIM and others say it was Verizon.

I just want my cake and to eat it too. I love my toys.

weren't those feature offered on the bold?

and if you haven't come across it. crackberry.com is the best forum for bb questions and answers
