BlackBerry® Curve™

[KingFalcon]

My blackberry curve gets a battery drain as soon as it powers up.

I know the batterys full becuase i've charged it in another phone and its full battery.

Its an immediate battery drain and the phone gets really hot?

Ive had a read around and people have said to get it replaced but my 1 year warranty has expired...

What to do now....

Please help

an app of some sort is causing the drain.  Its also possible that the device is too but its hard to tell.  You can take it to a store for an second opinion or go here for some tips to extend your battery.

ive had to do a complete clean update to the phone so it literally has no third party apps or anything?

phone doesnt turn on now either and im just stuck

[Wolf359]

if the phone is stuck, try doing a battery pull

[KingFalcon]

i've done numerous battery pulls, the phone literally just doesnt turn on now

going to try a kickstart this bb to turn on now to see if that helps?

hopefully i can get somewhere with the blackberry now

I understand, sorry!  Can you take it to the store?  I'm not sure what the issue is since you've already done the software reload.

i'm not sure the store will accept it :/ 

its been around 2 years since ive had the phone and its annoying that its got into this state...

honestly any help is appreciated!!

The store can at least tell you whats wrong with it and provide options on getting it fixed or repaired. 

You can try this, but if it doesn't work, taking it to the store is the only option.

force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
