Virtually all technological devices fall victim to an occasional frozen screen because they run on an operating system or software that can hiccup and stop working for many reasons. A frozen BlackBerry screen may result from trying to perform too many functions at once or from a network connection error.

Locate the "Reset" button on the back of the smartphone (the button may be under the battery cover or on the bottom).
