Help!!! Wi-fi and SIM IC problem in BB Key2

My beloved key2 was working flawlessly for past 5 years until one day it developed this problem.

I had plugged it to the charger. I dialled a number and removed the charger once they attended the call and was speaking for a minute when suddenly the call got cut and phone went to lock screen. It never happened. I checked and the mobile signal and wifi wasn't showing. I unlocked it and restarted and it came back again. I tried calling again but later found the two were off. I couldn't switch on wifi nor my sim was getting detected.

I multiple restarts, tried resetting but no response. Sim and wifi would work for few hours/ minutes and would turn off.

I gave it to a local technician and he mentioned the IC specific to network is corrupted and there is no way to repair it. He showed me the bandwidth in phone settings and it displayed '0' instead of some numbers.

Can someone help me if there is a way to fix. Other phones are no way close to the efficiency and sleekness of the key2. TIA

Managed to get mail working in Hub

I tried all the email providers and literally none would work directly with the Hub in Classic. But after some trial and error, I managed to get Kakao Mail (mail.kakao.com) working. Needed to create a specific app password and then enter the IMAP details. I tried doing the same in Outlook, Yandex, Yahoo, Gmail, Naver, GoDaddy Profesional Email etc but it didn't work.

BB10 Q5 Unkown error network connection

I recently bought a blacberry q5, it works pretty smoothly, I was able to install everything, however it can't read my sim. next to wifi there's a red x and "uknown error" written under it, when I open the network option in settings it says "the sim is not recognized" or something along the lines. Is the sim holder broken? could it be region locked? any ideas? thank you so much!

adding that the sim does work with other phones, and I tried to make the blackberry connection works with other sims but unfortunately nothing happened

Android browser that supports extensions and Blackberry's capacitive touch keyboard

Hello, I recently got a PRIV and I'm trying to find a browser that supports extensions (like uBlock Origin) as well as the keyboard gestures. Here is what I've tried:

  • Chrome works fine with the keyboard but it does not allow extensions.
  • Kiwi browser, but the last version that supports Android 6+ is outdated and the project is no longer maintained.
  • Firefox allows extensions but I can only scroll the settings page and not the actual webpage using the keyboard. I found this Github issue and bug that was filed. Doesn't seem like it was addressed.

Any Key2, KeyOne, or PRIV users that have suggestions for a browser that fits this criteria?

Where do you buy Blackberry at a good price?

I often see posts where people buy the phones of my dreams at too low a price. Please share links, if possible (EU, USA, China, it doesn't matter, I would order delivery via Nova Poshta), where I can find phones in good condition at a great price, since I am a student, the main thing for me is that telegram works fine, and that it is a dumbphone like. KEY2 looks good for me) Thanks 🙏🏻

Blackberry Classic Q20 Issue

Hello, i have encountered an issue with the Classic a bit ago.

The battery was discharged and it refused to turn on when getting a charge, which it really wasnt cuz it kept flashing the LED uptop.

I got it fixed rather simply and id like to share that incase anyone has the same issue.

  1. Remove the back

  2. Unscrew the battery holding metal thingy

  3. Unplug the battery and put it on the charger

Now if it turns on you can continue on, if not then rip to your blackberry classic

  1. Assuming the green light comes on as usual when charging, turn on the phone (i did via the middle trackpad button since my power button doesnt work half the time)

  2. It should display a Battery Icon with a line through it and then bring you to an error code before shutting down.

  3. Turn it on and go through the process again but before it shows you the error plug the battery back in and wait for it to shutdown again

  4. ET VOILÀ, turn it on and it takes a charge again!

I hope this helps anyone out there because i couldnt find a good solution online

Best Cell Carrier For A Blackberry Bold 9900? And Best Black Berry Choice in 2025?

I'm so glad I found this sub! I've been a BlackBerry fan ever since I got hired by Dell way back in 2009. Even when the iPhone started to become more mainstream I felt like grownups used Black Berries lol.

So I'm eyeing a BlackBerry Bold 9900 because that was the last BlackBerry I had. But I'm open to different models this sub might recommend. I saw the BlackBerry Classic and wow does that look like a cool phone.

So what carries would be the cheapest to use with an old BlackBerry? And what model would ya'll recommend when it comes to that classic keyboard look? I'd really like to get an old BlackBerry and get a cheap plan just for the fun of it. So I would appreciate any tips or recommendations you might have when it comes to jumping back in with BlackBerry.

BlackBerry as Canadian icon

As Canadian nationalism explodes - thanks to a loud neighbour - could this be the best chance to resurrect the blackberry? If only some bespoke phones for government officials and then spread? I suppose I’m dreaming.

Berry, the social network for BlackBerry OS

Berry (developed by WiiPlayer8, who recently left Reddit, and me) puts the 'social' back in social media. It only supports text posts, dosn't ask for contact details and doesn't have ads or personalisation algorithms. I suggest using a password you don't use on other sites. Download it at williamsmobile.co.uk/apps.htm and suggest improvements here or in the app. It doesn't work on BB10.
