FAQ (warranty, batteries, device, etc):

What is the warranty on the battery? We bought our Sidekick about 6 months ago, and now we can't recharge it. (Accessories are under warranty for 90 days. --justarep)

When the battery on your sidekick 3 won't charge, call T-mobile. You should have a 1 year warranty on the device. The sidekicks have an issue where the charging port dies, not the battery.

Tips & Tricks:
The same thing just happened to me. I bought a new charger and battery and both did not work. I had to call T-Mobile and send it away to be repaired. I My SK3 back rather quick, i think the whole process took about 6 days!!!


Troubleshooting: My sidekick deleted all of my contacts and the wait to get help from tmobile was 2 hours so can anyone help me get back the numbers?
Well eventually you will get them back. It will take about 5 minutes or so to get your info back. All your contacts and anything you put on your sidekick are saved under you tmail address. As long as you remember your tmail name and password, you will never lose your info.

I LOST THE BACK TO MY SDK3, WHERE CAN I GET ANOTHER ONE?

A quick Google search found this site to buy a replacement: http://www.wirelessground.com/si3tstbadoor.html

When you unlock the phone, the 3 digit combination part, sometimes the keyboard doesnt function, so i have to use the track ball, but in that situation, the keyboard works after i pass the 3 digit combination. Do you know why it sometimes doesnt function?

So if there is a USB port on the SK ID are there any good drivers to download for it to connect to a PC or Mac?

my buttons keep pulling up things they shouldnt. like if I hit the track ball it brings up the voice recorder . when I roll the track ball it brings up a small box that says (show apps message, applications , messages) I can scroll in there and choose but then I cant access any of the other things on my phone.

Its almost like on a computer when you make it to where all the keys work as shortcuts the reason I say this is because when the phone auto locks and I hit the upper left and lower right to unlock the buttons work as they were meant too but then when I actually go into the sidekick and the menu none of the buttons work except the trackball will bring up what I mentioned above.
