BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Pearl Flip + bath = bad

Well, I dropped my Blackberry Pearl Flip in the bathtub. I had had to leave immediately, the battery & SIM card, and it did dry for a few days. It starts very well now, but it does not pick up my carrier (as it does not say T-Mobile at the top, and there isn't any signal). It captures my Wi - Fi. In addition, by clicking the trackball takes me on the phone. Any advice?

I thought.  I restarted many wet BlackBerrys.  However, it is imperative that the device removed battery immediately and do not have rear power until completely dry.  If the device cannot be disassembled it may take several days in a warm place or in a bag of uncooked rice.

Most likely, the device is cooked and it probably happened when you it turned on just a few hours after getting wet.   You can give him a little more time to dry, but it is very likely that it's done.  I'm sorry.

    Hello

    Just got a BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, entered all my contacts, but when I try to use them in the contact phone adds book additional staff before the number, for example 861 can someone explain please?  The use of the United Kingdom on a Virgin sim card phone.

    Thank you very much

    Press the phone button (often green but he is the one on the left) to take you to the phone application.  Press the menu key (the BB Logo key) and go to Options.  Search smart dialing options.  Change this in the right country.

  • Traditional Chinese language of the Smartphone blackBerry pearl flip 8220 in favor?

    I just got a flip from T-Mobile.  I am happy with most of the features, however, there is no support for the Chinese language.  All Chinese characters appear as black boxes.  Anyone know patches so that I can read and input Chinese (traditional Chinese)?

    Your device OS does not support the Chinese symbols.

    Ask your provider wireless for a multi-language OS device that supports Chinese characters.

    If not - check a Chinese supplier for OS device. But note that your wireless provider disfavor using the device os from other providers of wireless.

    If you decide to use the BONES of another wireless provider - use OS exactly to your device model.

    Install the OS package on your desktop. After that, delete Vendor.XML file installed on your desktop computer.

    Connect your device to the computer and update device OS via Blackberry Desktop Manager/Application Loader.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Pearl Flip 8220: dropped calls, card memory, Opera browser, battery replacement, ringtone, contacts?

    8220 drops on the Workbench encrypted WiFi network calls.  I put the Wifi network options.  I have no wifi connection problems with my computer that uses the same network.  How can it be improved?

    What is the largest microSD card available for media use (especially music) on the BB 8220?  What does 'convert for optimal reading"during the copying of music files?  Why not my computer Windows XP does not recognize the Blackberry without launching the Desktop Manager?

    I'm told the software Opera Mini is a browser better than T-mobile browser.  I tried to download Opera using the browser from T-mobile for the handset without success.  Any suggestions?

    Is there a battery high capacity that can be purchased for this device?

    Can I set the phone to ring for a longer period of time when profiles are set to 'Loud '?

    How can I copy all the contacts on the Blackberry on my SIM card at the same time?

    Thank you.

    I'll try to answer some of your questions.

    The media card is consistent with the version of the OS on the BlackBerry. The model is irrelevant.

    Look at the Options > about, third line down, starting with a 'v.4.xxx '.

  • BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 default Smartphones phone to add to Contacts

    Thought, it would be a simple question but can't find an answer anywhere, so maybe someone out there knows...

    When we add a call to contacts ("add to Contacts"), the default phone number to the job category.  How can I change the type of default (home or Mobile) phone?  It's a major pain to re - enter the number in a field below, then remove from the job.

    Follow-up-

    I found two great apps that do exactly what I want and they can be downloaded from a PC.  From the PC, they can be loaded into the Blackberry via cable USB via BB Desktop Manager.  No data not necessary plan.

    The two programs are "Add number 2" and "add to contacts 2", both by MobiChampion software.  These are available for purchase and download from mobihand.com.

    Add that number allows a phone number to be added as a new contact in a very controlled way (specifying what type of phone, etc.)

    Add to Contacts, lets you add a phone number to an existing contact, which allows once again allows you to specify the type, etc..

    The two seem to work great for me; would that BB would make these standard features.

  • BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 Smartphone: verification SMS crashing phone intermittently + semi permanent shutdown/gel

    Hello

    My carrier is t-mobile.

    The first problem occurred using the original firmware and current sactioned from t-mobile.  (Application version: 4.6.0.180)

    It happened the weekend of 2 days after that I got on the phone.  It was in my pocket.  I took it out to check the time and pressing the side buttons did not turn on the external monitor.  So I opened it and the internal screen did not come on either.  Then I tried to hit the power button, no power.  I tried to hold the power button for a while has yet no power.  So I had to do a hard reset by pulling the battery.  As expected, he went through the process long and worked after that.

    Hoping to solve the first problem.  I searched online for answers and found more recent but not sanctioned by the t - mo firmware.

    The first one I installed was the Version of Application: 4.6.0.236

    I did have the problem of the closure since then, but I had a BOUNCING accident, when I try to check text messages.  It happened once with Application Version: 4.6.0.236, who was running for 2 days.  3 days ago, I loaded the Version of the Application 4.6.0.222.  It happened while I was with this version as well.

    Description of the problem:

    In the home screen, I select the messages icon and click on it.  The hold icon appears and remains until I have shut down the phone.  So if I open the phone to the top of the screen is white except for a strip at the top that contains icons battery and connectivity.  I have to return the phone to a functional State, perform a hard reset by pulling the battery.  When she returns the text I received has disappeared.

    I received a total of 5 texts in this time.  I don't know what said 40% of my received texts.  This is unacceptable.

    I like a lot of the text entry phone and the caller capacity wi - fi.  I want to keep but won't if I have these problems are not fixed before my trading period is in place.  It ends in 6 days.

    Does anyone have an idea if they are hardware or software problems?  Maybe I have a defective phone?

    I currently have the intention to return to the original firmware.

    Hi swordfishj360, with regard to the text of the message problems many users past 4.6.0.180 had this problem of update. That's why I stay with 180. So to answer your question, the more likely software. I also had my phone stop once like you did about two weeks ago. I got my phone in October when it came out and it was the only problem that I had. It was because of software that I downloaded, once it has been deleted, everything was back to normal. There were positions of phones rebooting several times a day, do not know what were the questions. If it happened only once you then it may have been a glitch in the OS or the software or the theme that has been installed.

  • Problems sync outlook blackBerry Smartphones and blackberry Pearl 8110

    I have a similar problem with my Blackberry Pearl 8110, Desktop Manager 5.01 and Outlook 2003 SP3.

    When I try to synchronize my contacts from my Blackberry to Outlook, the process gets thru 'Read in the device address book' 90 and 90 files without problem.  It starts the process following "Treatment Device Address Book" and gets 86 90 files and stops and a pop error message window: [title bar] Intellisync.

    Help! I STILL NEED HELP WITH THE QUESTION, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SYNC MY CONTACTS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW!

    I couldn't find a solution for this, ANYWHERE so I just decided to fix this problem just upgrade to the new version of the BlackBerry Desktop version 6.0.0.40 software. And now, ALL my contacts synchronize with a problem.

    Also from the beginning of this problem and now I have also improved my Outlook 2003 to 2007 and then to 2010.

    So I do not know if the combo of doing all this software update fixed the issue of the contact crupt but its market not now and that's what I need.

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Smartphones No browser icon

    Hiya... I'm in a world of pain...

    Sorry - a little background on this...

    In 2009 my husband bought me a new Blackberry Pearl 8100 on the internet (he doesn't remember exactly where). I put my sim O2 existing in this document, expecting to be able to access the internet/email, but none were available to me. A simple call to O2 clarified was that one - my sim card Pay & Go and at that time, O2 did not Blackberry web & email on Pay & Go. I use it as a phone for a bit, got irritated (searched internet and emails!) and bought a Samsung Tocco lite which I was using until last week when I discovered that, since last July, O2 were now internet Blackberry on Pay & Go.

    So, I'm quite excited about buy a bolt on O2, push my sim in my beautiful Blackberry Pearl, get excited when I see the new icons for Facebook and Google, etc... and then I realize that there is no browser option. No globe icon, nothing. The only way I can see a browser icon if I have the menu button and select "Switch Application". The "phone says 'request', then gives me an option to sign up for Yahoo Messenger. If I hit the 'back' button, the screen is empty. If I accept 'Download', I get: "sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Yahoo."

    I have set up my email and they work fine. If I click on the links in the emails, I just get a white screen.

    I spoke to O2 who said that "all's fine their end" and there is no reason why I can't find a browser icon. They told me to check the latest Blackberry download so my "phone is updated. So, I installed what I believe to be the latest version, but that had no effect.

    A battery pull (Finally, a hundred of them in fact...) has also no effect).

    I'm close to launch the thing caught fire in the wall. Please help me save my beautiful little ' call from such a cruel fate... of ideas?

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you could investigate new update of your BB OS... Here's a process for it:

    From a PC, you can install any bundle of BONES to a BB via this procedure:

    Note that although written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or recharge - it depends on the OS package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove from your PC, no matter what other packages devices OS BB as having more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    Don't try to transfer it to your sim card.

    Desktop Manager allows you to make a full backup of the device.  Get your replacement camera, then restore the backup to it.  In addition, you could synchronize with Outlook and then sync again.  However, the backup is the easiest way if you are going to get another BB.
