Blackberry PDA Tech!

my son just got a pearl from his dad. he is trying to load his itunes music on to it. do we need some type of software? he says that he should just be able to plug it into the computer and a pop up will come up but it doesn’t so we haven’t even got to the option of loading anything on to his phone. i’m thinking we need blackberry software but the 12 year insists not…… (could be true but just in case) what could be the problem if no software is needed?
thank you

My T-Mobile 8220 (which was replaced in April because the Bluetooth quit) worked fine for several months (under light use) and then the battery, which was previously long lasting, started to drain rapidly. It began draining 20-30 percent in 24 hours even when the phone was turned off. I thought it was because the battery was over a year old, so I bought an apparently new one, a RIM-branded C-M2 (from EMTC, Inc., for $9.95 including shipping). The new battery performed the same as the original. I’ve kept everything turned off when the phone is on except the minimum (e.g., no wireless, GPS or Bluetooth service running), reset the phone and updated the software to v. 4.6.0.180; no change.

I then talked to T-Mobile customer service, who considering what I had already tried, had no further suggestions. The CS tech felt there is most likely a problem in the phone’s hardware. (The phone is now out of warranty.)

As a last step before updating the software to v. .308, recommended in this forum, I drained the battery 100 percent a couple of times, which in each case took about 2.5 days. Still no improvement. In fact, after those two cycles, the battery completely drained essentially overnight.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is the phone on the way out or have I more likely been dealing with two bad batteries?

Thanks.

I have a pearl 8220 flip and it was pushed(?) into water by a four legged beast (grrr…love the beast but not happy with said beast regarding this matter). was fished out quickly. was left to dry and it seems everything works except for the fact that when I call someone, they cannot hear me speak.

it was dropped around 48 hours ago. could it just need more drying time? anyone else ever have this problem?

any thoughts?

Hey guys,

So earlier today I had plugged in my blackberry pearl flip into my desktop via usb to update to the new Blackberry Messenger, which the desktop software manager found…and proceeded to do. Once it finished doing so though i went to go find it and it wasnt in my instant messenger folder or the downloaded folder or any other folder. I looked at the apps list in the desktop software and it showed blackberry messenger listed in it, so does this mean its somewhere on my phone still?

This wouldnt be a problem for me though if i was able to download it off apps world but i have a basic plan which only allows instant messeging and emails, so I cant get to it via wifi.

Does anybody know how I can get this back? Or is it gone for good?

Hey Guys,

Just giving you a heads up, i installed the new bbm on my pearl flip last night and charged my bb, only to see the battery finished this morning.

I have a pearl flip 8220, tmobile version. I bot it unblocked and use it on AT&T. Everything has worked fine using 4.6.0.151. All of a sudden I get a message saying "you must upgrade your client in order to continue". When I go to upgrade I get another message saying "Unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your admin". Help anyone

Thanks,
Martinkn

How do I increase the # of rings on my 8220

How do i get rid of the old users facebook and put in my own as well as email?:confused::)

In last Tuesday’s episode of "White Collar" the hero (Neil Caffery, played by MattBomer) was using a Pearl Flip.

My wife’s BlackBerry Flip 8220 is constantly rebooting. This is exactly like pulling the battery and happens a couple of times a day, usually when she has a weak signal. This happens whether the battery is fully charged or not. I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks!

hi, i wanna upgrade my 8230 verizon
and now im quite confused wheter to use the latest official 4.6 or the beta 5.0
can anyone give me some input on this ?
thx

Well, it’s hard not to love my 8220 today. Last week I set it on the roof of the car (in search ofbetter reception) and promptly forgot about it. At 40 km I hear a dionk off the back window and then the trunk and then see my flip seemingly explode into pieces as it smacked into pavement. When I got back to it I realized that all the pieces were, were my 2 piece case, the battery and battery door. I put the battery back in and it has run flawlessly since!

That’s what I call reliable!

Hey all,

I know 5.0 is a sore subject for 8220.

But if you look at the OS Super Page on Crackberry forums (http://forums.crackberry.com/f151/bl…r-page-274590/) under the 8220, it shows this:

BlackBerry 8220
Latest Official OS: 4.6.0.305
Latest Known OS 5.0.0.314

I know where the official release can be found.
But where is this unoffical 5.0 download to be found?

Thanks.
