Hey. This has happened before, but it fixed itself right after. All day I got a "Clock Icon" when I tried to send text messages [I have O/S 4.2 on a BlackBerry 7520]. I did a complete power off, and waited ALL day.

I finally took the battery out and put it back in and now my texts send.

So, I have a statement and a question:

Statement:
If this is happening to you, try to take the battery out and putting it back in

Question:
Does anyone know why this happens? And if so, is there a way to prevent it?



Thanks in advance.

I know the "clock icon" is indicating that the message is sending/processing. It sounds to me like your carrier service may be bogging down. I'm not sure how the battery pull is helping. Maybe just coincidence?

That's what I was thinking. But, it was odd. Right before I pulled the battery, I try to send a new one. Nothing. After I put the battery back in, the text I tried to send had a red X [Indicating it failed to send] I pressed 'Resend' and it sent right away. Who knows?

Sounds like the carrier is bogging down. Same thing happens here. Sometimes if you call your voicemail and attempt a resend it will work.

I've had this same issue. The Clock means pending. the vortex looking thing is sending. the X is obviously an error.

I had the problem with the clock icon when trying to send an e-mail.
Finally gave up trying to find a logical answer, removed and re-installed the battery and it works.

Thanks.

I Ran into the same issue the other night after a big storm. For 3 days my MMS wouldnt sent...instead of the normal sending icon, the clock (or timed-out) icon would just show up then eventually a red X. I tried turning off the radio, the phone, then finally tried a battery pull. Called voice mail, text, opened the browser, opera mini, the whole nine...nothing. Finally had to call AT&T and C.S. had to reset my profile in their system. the rep told me it was nothing new. something about the storm and electrical interference with the tower I was connected to at the time during the storm. Once the tower has a problem and 'looses' ur phone for a hot sec, some of the setting get messed up. she said that sometimes it happens with the browser too. Only took like a 5 min phone call and all is well.
