BB pearl 8100 downloads

I just upgraded the software to 4.5 and when I go into BB app world to download a new (free) game I get the following error message  "An error has occurred communicating with the BlackBerry App World Client".  Can anyone tell me why?  Or what I have to do to download from BB app world?
Thx

OK..thanks for the details...and it all boils down to one thing...

Also just so you know I don't have a data package and right now I am not going to pay for that.  
Given that, there is no fix for you...AppWorld is a service...all services come at some kind of fee or another...nothing is free...you must have a BB data plan in order to use AppWorld.
KB23854 "A data plan is required to use this feature" sometimes appears in BlackBerry App World
And, for the record, your version of AppWorld is the most current...but, that's moot now.
But, all is not lost!! AppWorld is merely a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. As such, it is not your exclusive procurement source -- there are others that you can try:
AppWorld in selected countries
MobiHand everywhere in the world
Handango everywhere in the world
BPlay everywhere in the world
GetJAR everywhere in the world
I have found that there are very few apps that are exclusive to AppWorld. You can search the on-line catalog and then search out other procurement sources, including quite often the developer website itself. However, with no data plan whatsoever, you will have to determine if any of those alternate sources have a delivery method that you can use...most deliver Over The Air (OTA), and with no data plan, that's not a method available to you.
Good luck!

  • Desktop manager download and rearranging files for Pearl 8100

    I have a Pearl 8100 and lost my desktop manager CD and need to load it on to my new laptop.  Where can I download this?  I have tried a search here at this website, but I can't seem to narrow down what I need specifically.
    Also, I was wondering if it were possible to move files around, specifically, from within a folder to the desktop.  For example,  Brickbreaker and Messenger.
    Thank you - beth

  • New Blackbery Pearl 8100 - what software do I download?

  • No browser icon on Pearl 8100

    Hiya... I am in a world of pain...
    Sorry - quite a bit of background on this...
    In 2009 my husband bought me a brand new Blackberry Pearl 8100 from the internet (he can't remember exactly where from). I put my existing O2 sim in it, expecting to be able to access the internet/emails, but neither were available to me. A quick call to O2 cleared that one up - my sim was Pay & Go and at that time, O2 were not doing Blackberry web & email on Pay & Go. I used it as a phone for a bit, got peeved (wanted internet and emails!) and bought a Samsung Tocco lite which I have been using up until last week when I found out that, since last July, O2 were now doing Blackberry internet on Pay & Go.
    So, I excitedly purchase a bolt on from O2, shove my sim in my lovely Blackberry Pearl, get excited when I see the new icons for Facebook and Google etc... and then I realise that there is no browser option. No globe icon, nothing. The only way I can see a browser icon is if I press the menu key and select 'Switch Application'. The 'phone then says 'requesting', then offers me an option to sign up for Yahoo Messenger. If I hit the 'back' button, the screen goes blank. 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 emails and they work fine. If I click on links in emails, I just get a blank screen.
    I have spoken to O2 who have said that 'everything is fine their end' and there is no reason why I can't find a browser icon. They told me to check out the latest Blackberry download so my 'phone is updated. So, I have installed what I believe to be the latest version but that has had no effect whatsoever.
    A battery pull (well, about a hundred of them actually..) has also had no effect).
    I am close to throwing the flaming thing up the wall. Please help me save my beautiful little 'phone from such a cruel fate... any ideas?

    Hi there!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you could investigate further updating your BB OS...here is a process to do that:
    From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

    Nope, sorry. Only 8100 OS for the 8100.
    Here's the link and instructions.

    I think that your device has lost its OS.
    But I am confused : are you sure the "Device Manager" does not recognize the 8100 ? Are you not referring to the "Desktop Manager" ?
    Anyway, if the battery pull did not fix the issue, I think you will have to rely on another software than the Desktop Manager to load an OS on your device again.

  • Trouble installing a new OS on BB Pearl 8100

    Hi there -
    I have a BB Pearl 8100. It is unlocked, but loaded with T-Mobile OS (according to Options/About it's: v4.2.0.64, platform 2.2.0.37).
    I am using with an ATT/Cingular SIM card for phone calls - for the most part this is successful but occassionally I will get a rash of "call failed" errors upon trying to make calls. Often turning the phone on and off will solve but not a permanent solution.
    So I'm trying to load the appropriate AT&T OS on the device. I am following all instructions that I have seen posted on many different sites, including Blackberry.
    In short, I am:
    1) Downloading and Installing the right ATT OS for a Pearl 8100 from the BB website.
    2) Open BB Desktop Manager
    3) Connect BB Pearl to computer (via USB).
    All of this seems to be working as designed.
    However - the directions say that DTM should either prompt me to "Update Now" (assuming the Application Updates Available window appears) - or I should open Application Loader and launch the wizard process. I have to do the latter because it does not prompt me for auto Updating.
    Once I do the latter, it does not detect that I have the newly installed OS waiting to be installed onto the BB Pearl. It detects a few applications that are already installed on the Pearl, but no new OS.
    I'm very confused!!
    I have tried this process with Desktop Manager 4.6 and 4.2 with SP, thinking maybe it had something to do with version of Desktop Manager, but same results.
    What am I missing????
    Thanks
    Brad

    Hello,
    You can use any OS package on your BB as long as it is one that is exactly for your model number BB. This process is the best I know for installing (upgrade, downgrade, reload) an OS onto a BB:

    If you choose an OS package from a carrier that is different from your BB's original carrier, then insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
    Good luck!

  • My Pearl 8100 is not recognized by my Windows 7 computer and Desktop SW 6.0

    I cannot get my newly installed desktop software (v6.0) to detect my Pearl 8100 when I connect it through USB.  Upon the first software installation, it will recognize and sync once but after disconnecting and reconnecting, it will not detect.  I have to unload the software and re-load in order to get another detection.  Any ideas why it will not detect on subsequent connections?  The USB cable does not appear to be the issue.
