BlackBerry® Smartphones Pearl 8100 phone deletes text and e-mail below 400 k, 'known problem '?

I have a memory card & everything I can possibly put out there is stored there (music, photos, etc.).  I have deleted a large number of programs supplied with the phone to free up memory & have added only Facebook & a Sudoku game. I called technical support for my service provider (T-mobile) and I described my problem to them.  They walked me through how to delete my browser cache & Facebook, so I now do it on a regular basis.  I had summer through my text messages and delete the ones on a basis regular, with maybe 3 saved max.   Support says that my phone will start automatically remove my text every time messages that my free files is lower to 400,000.  My question is, what am I missing?  What else is eating my free files?  Today, I always had to take the battery out of my phone and it reboot because it says my free files sucked!  When it was done to reboot itself, it had 11 million free files!  What is the problem with this phone?  I have the latest version of the software I can get, which is a version of 4.2 because I said that T-mobile will not support the 4.3 (extremely frustrating because all the cool stuff to download requires 4.3).  I told that I qualify for a new phone without penalty in August... Should I just hard out and switch to a curve?  New models are pearls less buggy?  I really like the Pearl it corresponds very well in my hand and can easily fit in my pocket, but the function is SO much more important than fashion.

Thanks to all those who can answer me with a better solution, or who has had experience with the Pearl & T-mobile.

I used to use a BlackBerry Pearl, myself and many loved.  I found this article on the site Web of BlackBerry that can troubleshoot and it seems that some of the suggestions that you already follow:

Hope that helps.

  • BlackBerry smartphones had my phone 5 minutes and it already broke

    So my last blackberry which was exactly the same model (9360) was broken, so I called my provider and they sent me a new handset today and I just put my phone and he broke already, the first thing I noticed was wrong with it was after about 1 minute to have, when it wouldn't let me scroll among the trays with all the applications on the top bar where I can access to the options and then he decided to work but it froze quickly again, this time the trackpad was paralyzed and I could not scroll at all, but the phone it's self has not been frozen because I could always select return etc.

    I tried the battery pull and has not always helped and I'm about to throw my phone out the window...

    Is that what I can do to fix this problem or do I call BACK to the top of my career and have ANOTHER replacement sent to me after not even half an hour to receive my first replacement?

    I would like to do a reboot on the BlackBerry this way simple: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Then after that it is clearly restarted, leaving the camera for five minutes for the activity of initial data stop and the device should be usable.

    I hope that you have not received a replacement with a bad trackpad, but if you have, you definitely have a grievance with your mobile operator for replacement and get an Exchange once more. Sometimes things are just snake bit.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to set up internet and e-mail?

    Hello!

    I recently bought a BB 8300 BES (I guess) and West no way to configure it! All I can do is to activate email business (which I did not), and theres no option of browser or via e-mail (I can not add email accounts)! Is it possible to change to BIS? My ISP gave me all the info I have to configure my device, but I can't find where.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    If your provider has only a BlackBerry of pay-per-use plan, not a data plan unlimited BlackBerry? When you talked to them how did say you must configure e-mail accounts?

    BES or BIS isn't the software, just the 2 types of plans you can choose from. With BIS, you can configure up to 10 personal email accounts, browse the internet and includes the package data unlimited (generally excluding text messaging). With this plan, your Inbox of your e-mail account synchronizes with a BlackBerry. All data must be synchronized via a wired connection with the Desktop Manager software. The price of this plan is usually about $30 (depending on your operator).

    BES has all of that with the addition of the messaging capability of installation on the device company. If your employer has a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) all data allows to synchronize the BlackBerry wireless. The price of this plan is usually about $ 45 (depends on your operator).

  • BlackBerry Bold 9000 Blackberry Smartphones - could not load any software and unable to use the phone

    Hello

    I have a blackberry bold 9000 and has been updated from the last app on this subject yesterday. Due to the low battrey my laptop turns off until the software has been installed to prperly. I tried the following:

    (1) to take the battrey and turn on the phone and tried to load the software again but that doesn't seem to work because the software does not recognize my phone it says unknown device.

    (2) I tried to use the option of updating the Web site, but also, which doesn't seem to work

    The display shows the following message appears when turned on.

    The application's permissions:

    The driving security application tries to access the information from the phone. I can't move the trackball on the appropriate option.

    Not really sure if there is a way to solve this problem.

    Help will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Concerning

    Ashish

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    (2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

    'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life.

    Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.
    http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate type of carrier and network, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones something happening to my text messages.

    Hello.  I'm new here and this is my first post.

    Last week, I receive text messages that disappear before I had the chance to read.  In addition, people have told me they sent me text messages, but I never.  I sent text messages to myself from another phone just to confirm that I am receiving them and that they are removed until I get to read.  Even when I delete everything in my Inbox, I still have the same problem.  My phone also receive emails and SMS.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

  • BlackBerry smartphones may not call, even texts

    Hey geniuses BlackBerry,.

    I scoured the forums and can't seem to find a situation like mine, so that's.  I will try to be as accurate as possible.  I have a 8100 Pearl who is suddenly not spend or receive phone calls.  I did some 'new' things today with him then maybe one of them triggered it.

    I tried to connect my Pearl to my computer with a USB cable to access a few pictures on it for the first time today.  I realized that I didn't have a media card, so I thought that I could access it in the Desktop Manager, but unfortunately my computer does not recognize that I had plugged my Pearl.  He did, however, continue to make those computers grateful noises do when a disc is inserted and removed.  The noises that happened over and over again.  Then, the best part: my computer screen went blue and said (I don't remember Word for Word) there was a kind of "software bug" we found who was related to the BlackBerry device and had to do a memory dump.  The computer fine and somehow, nothing is lost.

    I only did texts on my phone today so I have no way of knowing if I had the ability to the appellant when I woke up this morning.  I had call capacity last night, however.  A friend tried to call me and texted me that he kept getting an "error message" whenever it did, at the moment, I can still send and receive texts.  When I try to make a call about 2 seconds ago from this light, background noise of static-y connection, then it disconnects; I get no messages telling me that there was an error or anything else.  He ran an analysis of security a few times after that I put the battery and card SIM that doesn't happen when I turn on my phone normally, so I don't know if this is notable or if this happens usually when the card or the battery came out and replaced.

    I seem to not have adequate (3 bars), there is no red "SOS" on the screen and the wireless is turned on.  When I got the phone I had the problem with "SOS" signal, but have not had anything since then; It has been a few years since that happened.

    I have removed and reinserted my SIM card, removed my battery for 30 seconds and reinserted and tried to go through the menu 'Options' to try to discern if it is not apparent that I turned off or on low (I had no idea what I was doing).  I'm at the point where I am ready to start sacrificing things to the gods of BlackBerry to get my calls abilities restored, so if there is someone who can offer me a solution less violent I would be very happy.  Also, if you have an idea about what happened with my Blue's computer that's cool too, but I'm more concerned about the problem by calling.

    Thank you

    Casey

    Hi Casey and welcome to the forums,

    Since you have already reset your handset to reinsert the battery.  I would first of all to distinguish whether it's your card SIM or Blackberry problem.

    You can put your Blackberry SIM in another phone, for example Nokia, to ensure you can make and receive calls to exclude, it is a card sim or network problem.  If you can not make calls on your Nokia phone, simply contact your carrier to find out why, could be they banned your access or sim error of voice call.

    If your sim card is very good, there are two possibilities

    1. If you use your blackberry with BES, your COMPUTER administrator can have banned users to voice calls, check with him or her, or compare it with other users of blackberry with the same strategy (BB, go to > options > security options > and check the name of COMPUTER policy with colleagues who can make calls)

    2. problem with your blackberry software problem, I suggest you to recharge or upgrade your device software.  I noticed that you mentioned that your PC is unable to detect your device properly, please follow this KB to reload the software http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB10144

  • Update device software BOLD 9780 blackBerry smartphone does my phone useless

    I upgraded my software for phones device yesterday after receiving a message to HIGH PRIORITY of my service provider to make a upgrade(EE/Orange). They stated that it was a mandatory update for Blackberry.

    After trying for hours to do on the network, it did not indicate "can't connect to the server upodate, please upgrade using your PC using Blackberry Desktop Manager".

    This was my next step.

    * I have backed up my device (yesterday) via BDM (desktop Manager)

    * Click on search updates

    * follow all the links on my BOLD 9780 device through blackberry Web site

    * Click on the link to check my device to update, get informed me "an update is available"

    * A method to update.

    The update returned with an error stating: "Options only 19 times out of 20 have been restored"

    Since then, my phone is unusable. The menu freezes, I can't highlight the options I get no blue outline around the menu options. my text does not work, I can not enter anything, type anything, the phone is constantly freezing and reset.

    I tried to reinstall the update that crashed the phone completely with "" "white screen of death'" ' showing error 507...  Please visit www.blackberry.com/507


    This page does not exist!

    I tried again to make an update and got my phone back, but with all the same problems of menu.

    I did restore my device from yesterday. Got my return of data personal, but phone still jumps in all directions, text messaging does not at all.

    I unplugged the battery lasts repeatedly reset and soft reset.

    I tried again to reinstall several times the device software and useless.

    I haved called my service provider and they said his broken blackberry, name of the contact.

    I contacted blackberry support pay crisis (01753 558410). They me redirected to support orange tech who were still more useless than before!

    they gave me the web address: http://uk.blackberry.com/support which was not helpful

    So I did spend the whole day. Finally, picking at the drop of water that brings me here (even tried twitter!)

    I can't do yet a security wipe because I can not enter "blackberry" because he is back with "input error, field application for closure" and even if I type, I can not see the text and continue by clicking on "wipe security."

    Note carefully please that this feature requires your service plan to include the ability... not all levels of service include plan, and not all carriers offer. In addition, sometimes additional software for your computer must be obtained from the carrier. But, carrier specific questions should be directed to the carrier... here, we can only give you the credits information... your operator must provide you with all of the specific information required.
