Tapping a Pearl 9100 blackBerry smartphones

Hey guys, I just got a Blackberry Pearl 9100 off eBay for a good price ($70 with battery, charger and USB cable), and I can't wait to use it. I wasn't expecting to have problems with typing because I had used a friends for awhile before very well, but...

.. .but I can't type top. I don't know what is happening but for the life of me I can't understand how to type a URL correctly (because most of the words in an URL not be recognized). I just spent 20 minutes trying to get to TVTropes without success. Is there a way to turn off the predictive text or something so that you can type just by pressing the letters you want? I can see how the predictive SureType things might be great for messaging and so on, but it is almost impossible to get a URL entry.

Or maybe I just hurt and need practice, but I spent a good bit of time on Google before coming here too and no luck with finding how typing is supposed to work in detail. Taking ALT annoys me numbers instead of letters replacing, shift implements capital and so on.

Help please? Thank you! I want to make sure I'm doing something wrong and that there is nothing wrong with the phone (which is used).

Maybe these links will help you:

I've never used a Pearl, but maybe this will help you.

You can switch between text predictive (safe-Type) and ABC (multi-tap) mode on your Blackberry Pearl by navigating to the folder 'Options '. Select the option "Language", then "input language" and finally the input method you want to use.

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Blackberry Smartphones

    I recently bought a bb8130 two months ago. This is a used product, and I have Alltel. I tried to download IM + and downloaded and rolled out of my phone. But it will not turn back now, the red light blinks on the top right then the display lights and the hourglass comes up then it stops, happening just like that constantly. I tried to go to the Alltel, but of course, they don't have the capabilities of updated software for smartphones. What can I do to get my phone to turn on? Please someone help me...

    Jennifer

    The last time I looked, they have an update for your 8130. Check the following site, find Alltel and download the software for your bb:

  • Antenna on a Pearl 9105 BlackBerry Smartphones

    Had a few drops appeal since a few days where I could normally use previous phones ok to work on the same mobile network O2 so I was wondering where the antenna is I was wondering if I could cover it.

    Could someone advise me?

    I've personally never seen my signal more than 1 bar drop trying to FIND a deathgrip on my Pearl. The deathgrip you're worried about seems only for an iphone 4.
    Other that I know that the antenna is at the bottom of the phone, but guess its on the left (it must have the small random hole left, which I assume is where is the antenna).

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8110 Blackberry Smartphones - how to erase all contacts given n?

    Hello.

    My son has just sold me his BB pearl, the thing is that it's full of all his contacts and media... (photos ermmm I don't really want to take the risk to watch!)

    Is there a way to clean all the contacts and the media without seeing them? A bit like a reset to factory or something, can I please?

    I can't find anything to be able to do anywhere...!

    Thanks much for any help you can give...

    Myeika

    First, wipe the device using the Options > Security > General settings > press Menu > wipe Handheld.

    Will erase all old e-mail, messages, calendar, contacts, preferences and settings of the unit. This does NOT alter the operating system, etc., and you should be backup with an almost new unit later. It will not remove also application your son loaded into the device.

    If the images are recorded on a map of media (located behind the battery, do you see one?) that must be removed separately. Go to Options > Media Card > Menu button > Format and move forward. This will reformat the well card as he would a hard drive on your PC.

    If you need more help or have any other questions, please after return.

    US Cellular is my carrier and what I discovered that the more cell phone companies have only a 'line' and since during a brief moment when it is check e-mail person can call you. Would be nice if it would show that you had a missed call. What I've done is cut my audit of the data and only turn it on to check my email or surf the web address manually. I hope they airs in a substitute so that you had a choice of which had priority.

  • BlackBerry pearl 8110 Blackberry Smartphones - a memory card is not currently inserted in the device

    Need help!

    Even after inserting a MicroSD card to the device, the message shows "a media card is not currently inserted in the device.

    I had used this MicrSD card in my old Samsung phone, and he had a lot of pictures. I didn't format and that you just inserted the card but the device is not recogsinzing the card. Should I format before using the card or think that the card must be recognized in the first place.

    I've tried all the settings and options that nothing works

    Any help would be appreciated

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Blackberry Smartphones

    My phone is 1 year. Starts the trackball not roll upwards or downwards when I am on the homepage with icons, or in my call log. I have to keep trying to roll upward or down to select anything. All I have this problem and can I do short of buying a new one?

    You could try to clean the trackball, use a bit of isopropyl on the end of a cuetip and alcohol which could wipe out any dirt, lint or dust under the tracball...

    You can also replace the trackball, not too difficult. Contact Contact http://horizonwirelessonline.com/cat/
    They are trusted suppliers.

    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.

  • Frequencies of Smartphones blackBerry Pearl 9100 caught 3 supported by

    Hello I'm trying to know what frequencies does the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 3 can handle, because I want to buy one, and that will be great, if it can support 850 mhz UMTS or HSDPA, one of them

    Recently, there are newer models which, while they use the same model number, are configured differently for different carriers (I don't know if this applies to this model). Therefore, you should not check with whatever the carrier, you intend to use and see if you can get one that is compatible with their network.

    Good luck!

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Pearl 9100 keeps restarting over and over again

    Hello

    Less than a few months ago, I had a new Pearl 9100. Two days ago I had to remove the battery and after I put the battery back on, the phone started to reset itself. It is the red light on the top right the start screen of Blackberry with white line where you can guess how much of the OS has loaded (percentage bar?)

    It loads about 1 to 2% of the bar and then it resets. I tried to reload the OS according to the scheme instructions on this site, but it is not possible, since the phone is not long enough for the upgrade.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
