Blackberry 8220 Flip phone gives red light, then shows clock and repeats...... forever....!

Hi I have a blackberry pearl 8220 flip that's bricked. It goes from a long red light to the clock loading screen and continues until by battery is dead.
I have tried reloading the current OS available (v4.6.0.174) through the latest blackberry desktop manager several times, and I did select the options to completely wipe all data on the pearl. I got the desktop manager to detect the phone by taking out the battery at first, and then putting it in. The reload worked properly, everything got wiped off and the os was reinstalled. It worked for a couple of hours, but the problem pops up again. I've even tried reloading an older os (4.5) but it doesn't work either.
Please help...

Hmmm...OK, then you might need to completely wipe it out first and then reload the OS...see this:

If that fails, then you are probably ready for warranty support -- from your carrier.
Good luck!

Blackberry 8220 Flip phone - problems with calendar

I just upgraded to a Blackberry Flip and when I inserted my SIM card from my other phone, the calendar appointments were all lost. Is there any way I can retreive those entries?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The 6085 comes with a cd, the program is Nokia Pc Suite, install the cd to the pc and synch all the information in the phone to Outlook, after this synch the Blackberry device through Blackberry Desktop manager and Outlook.

Blackberry 8220 Flip phone - problems with downloads

I came across two problems with the downloads and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problems??
#1 - I downloaded "facebook" to my handheld, and after the download was complete, my phone was shut down and when it came back on again, facebook did not recognize my email/password. I registered using my blackberry email and password and that is what I used to try to login into facebook. I eventually deleted facebook from my downloads, because I really didn't know what to do ... so I thought I'd try here.
#2 - After deleting facebook, I thought I'd download Yahoo! Messenger, as I'm familiar with that. Only thing is, after the download, I could not find the icon to get into Yahoo! Messenger anywhere. It was not in my downloads folder, nor could I find it anywhere else?? I found it was added to my "normal" profile on the phone, but was at a loss as to where to find the shortcut?
I have not read all the forums (my bad - I'm a newbie, but I did look around!), and it appears that no one had discussed these download problems (yet). My apologies if they have been discussed earlier - has there been a solution for these?

There are hundreds of these used or like new flips for sale every day on the internet. My advise is to stay away from a 8220 used or brand new in the box. They are junk and you will not get any support. My month old warranty replacement is not working and many many other people will say the same.

Unlocked T-Mobile Blackberry 8220 Flip and other Network Providers

Hello Everyone,
Just bought an unlocked t-mobile blackberry pearl 8220 flip phone and wondering if there will be any issues with my service provider in regards to mms, gprs or BIS? Currently have a sim with mms and gprs access for my Sony Ericsson T306, i know these t-mobile branded phones have imbedded apps for t-mobile like tzones etc and you can't really get gprs access whether provisioning it manually or automatically from service provider. Does anyone had any issues or solutions can help me out.

Probably. I don't see that you have stated your carrier, so it could vary.
You should be ok, but in most cases, on a BlackBerry, a MMS Transport service book is required for MMS messages to carry the 'data' portion of the MMS message. Realizing that MMS is nothing more than an SMS text message with a file, or data, attached, the carrier pushes a service book to your device which enables the data portion of the SMS.

Help, my Pearl 8220 Flip keeps crashing!!!

Hi guys,
I have a pearl 8220 flip and for the last month it has been turning it's self off up to 10 times every day. The battery is fine as this was replaced with new in May this year. A few months ago I had an error message appear on my phone telling me that the memory card could not be read and deleted all my music and pictures etc (other than the ones that come on the phone).
My hubby called Orange last night to see if they could either help me out with getting it fixed / sorted or sending me a new replacement but the warranty for the phone ran out in September, don't get me started on that, we have a 18 month contract with Orange yet Blackberry only offer 12 months on their warranties, why not offer 18 or 24 months, depending on the customers contract with the service provider. I am now stuck with this phone until the contract is due for renewal!!!
Can anyone help me with this on what I can do to get the phone to work properly other than launching it out the window!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
Lisa

Hi MrsAxx,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I would suggest backing up your device using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and doing a clean reload of the software as shown in this KB article. http://bbry.lv/bpv7E1 Then do a selective restore from your backup file, restoring essential data only. http://bbry.lv/bhaArf

8220 Flip - trying to update OS from 570 error - constant BB restart - HELP

Hi All,
New to BB and have a problem here.
I have an 8220 Flip and it started producing JVM errors now and again but reboot cleared them and all worked a couple of hours BUT this morning after rebooting I get the 507 error.
I have researched this and trie everything I could find for over 6 hours now and tried everything - here is my problem:
I have updated DM and downloaded the correct OS - all is well in the manager.
I have deleted every occurance of vendor.xml on the pc.
I run Loader.exe directly, battery out then as soon as the display changes to USB: UNKNOWN - I click on Next - it finds the device, finds the new OS and proceeds to install...
It gets through the first 3 processes and then gets to Installing Modules - the fuel guage gets about 3mm up, the Blackberry reboots and the Loader software reports it cannot connect to the device - which makes sense as it has just rebooted, if I wait about 2 mins the BB boots back up - if I hit retry in the PC dialog the same thing happens.
I have read post after post and just cant get to the bottom of this - if I could stop it rebooting then I think the OS would go back on - but I can't ????
I am on Vista 32bit - All USB's have poer save off.
I have tried this with 2 cables and on 2 laptops now - all the same result.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?? I am self employed and not having the phone is a
disaster.
Thanks All

I am having the same issue with my 8220, no matter what I try, the phone turns itself off during the "Loading application modules" portion of the software install... Just wondering if anyone has discovered a solution to this yet?

Please help!! why cant I see my back up contacts on line anymore with this stupid iphone, when I could with old flip phone?

PLEASE HELP!! why can I no longer see my contacts on line now that I have an iphone when I could with the old flip phone. I need to get a old contact but cant access the on line back up? can anyone please help?

CLu27,
I am sorry you are having issues with viewing your contacts. Where exactly are you trying to view your contacts? (ie Backup Assistant or Verizon Cloud). What happens when you try to sign in to view the contacts? Are you receiving any error messages?

My New 8220 Flip

Hey there, I`ve had my 8220 flip for just over a week now and so far pretty good. Two questions though.
First, has anyone tried to pair a Motorola H700 bluetooth headset with it? The phone tells me it is is successfully paired, yet the headset seems to be on mute when I try to talk to someone. I've tried the "unmute" procedure on the headset (pressing both volume buttons at once) and no luck.
Second, this will eventually become my only phone, no land line. For those of you who have had an 8220 for some time, does it seem like it will stand the test of time? Or at least until my next upgrade, LOL? How's it holding up? I can still bring it back and get the Curve if I change my mind in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks

What is your Operating System loaded to your device?
Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx"
What is yours?
First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
4. Locate and CHECK to load the Task and Memo's application.
Doing any of the above should not involve your BIS Admin, and as long as you are only adding those two applications and not upgrading the base device OS, you won't require a new activation on the BES.

8220 flip: trouble synching calendar

Recently received an 8220 Flip as a work phone. Set up the synch and everything but the calendar works fine. The device calendar deletes entries, and then tries to update outlook calendar with the deletions. These are usually in the region of 700 entries (the device tries to delete). I want to keep all old and new entries in both outlook and my device, but the phone appears only to recognise recurring appointments in the calendar. Has anyone seen this type of issue before? I basically want the outlook calendar and device calendar identical, and for each to update with changes to either calendar... none of this business with the phone trying to delete entries. Please help... thanks!

1) In calendar, options, general options what do you have for the option 'Keep Appointments"?
2) In calendar, options are you using a calendar associated with an email address?
If you look at the device default calendar, do you have any records listed?

BB Pearl 8220 Flip Hanging Issue

Dear All,
I have recently purchased BB pearl 8220 flip and very sad to know that device got completely hanged every second day which is very irritating to me so can any one please suggest/guide me what actually to do which helps me to get rid of the highlighted issue.
Regards

I just found the real fix by reading post linked below. Open Blackberry Desk Manager while your 8220 is connected to your PC. Open Application Loader. Install Blackberry Attachment Service. As soon as it completed installation my external display was back to the clock. My T-Mobile SIM is currently out of the house and the phone is locked so I can't try Caller-ID or other alerts until tonight but if the clock is back I believe everything else is too.
Thanks to zwood for posting the fix below.

8220 (FLIP)

Hi all-
I just ordered the flip from T-Mobile because of the software upgrade problem with the curve from 4.2.2 to 4.5 (the audio is extremely low after you upgrade and there doesn't seem to be a work around it). They told me I would not be able to revert back to 4.2.2 because they no longer carried the version on their site after updating it to 4.5. The only other way would be for me to find it online somewhere and that's kinda risky...I don't want to obtain the software from an unknown source and it possibly damaging my phone. So T-Mobile let me get the flip for free because of the problem. A few things I wanted to know real quick...
#1. They told me the OS version that comes with the phone is a 4.6 version. Is anyone having an issue with their ringers not being loud or is everything ok with them? I know when I upgraded my curve from 4.2.2 to 4.5 the volume setting on high sounded like it did when it was set on low when I was running 4.2.2, you can hardly hear it ring. So I wanted to ask anyone who has the phone if the ringtone levels are high or if they are low?
#2. As far as themes go, this phone doesn't come with a "icon theme" where all the icons that you use are displayed on the screen. Are there themes out now for the 8220 flip like on crackberry, etc or have they not been made yet because of how new the phone is?
Thanks!

I am also on T-mobile and software version 4.6.0.180 is plenty loud when you have it turned up. James
I hope that this informatiion helps you to solve the problem!
