Blackberry 8110 software upgrade

Hey everyone,
I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, I've upgraded the software once now, to 4.5.0.182...
I'm curious, if I went and upgraded to the Blackberry Pearl 3g phone's software, 5.0, or to the 6.0 OS, would it break my phone? Or would just some features not work?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You can only upgrade to an OS package that is specific for your model BB. So, if a version is released that you want, then you can install it. But, things will of course change -- that's just the nature of upgrades.
Good luck!

  • BlackBerry 8110 Software on Laptop

    I am new ti the BlackBerry's and loving it. The BBP8110 is awsome but my peroblem is that I installed the software but it does not give me the option to transfer music or pics. I have the software with Roxio support but it says there is an error. I use AAC from iTunes so is there another option to upload music to it. What are your choices.

    DRM protected music is not currently supported on BlackBerry devices. It supposed to be coming with the soon to be released OS 4.5.

  • Restoring device after Blackberry 10 software upgrade

    Moved to: BlackBerry Link

    Hello,
    At present, each carrier controls the release of the OS to their users...so you need to ask Vodacom the question about "when".
    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Q10 bluetooth issues since software upgrade

    I have a BBQ10 and a chevy sonic with mylink. UP until Monday night they paired fine everything worked and then I had a software upgrade on my BlackBerry. It installed just fine no issues there. Now when I try to make/receive calls while using bluetooth in the car my phone has to be using speaker. Handset doesn't work, nor does bluetooth. The first time I start car up and the devices pair I can get the bluetooth to ask me "what would u like to do" I can get all the way to connecting to the call. As soon as call is connected it tells me it's going into private mode. This is the point where only the speaker on the phone itself will work. I can not talk via bluetooth or "handset" speaker only or I don't hear people but they hear me. I know it's not an issue with the mylink in car I paired my mum's bold and everything works as it should. Suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem solved. Changed phone name. Deleted pairing between phone and car bluetooth rebooted phone turned car off and back on. Repaired devices and seems to be fine now

  • BlackBerry Pearl 9105 track pad fault following software upgrade

    Since 22 Feb 2015 track pad and buttons like camera no longer work within most applications. Seems to be directly related to faulty automatic software upgrade that so many users are complaining about. Track pad works for 10 minutes after each hard reset, then stops working again.  Please can BlackBerry resolve urgently, as phone is now practically useless.

    Okay.  So not an OS upgrade.   Sounds like you are talking about BlackBerry Protect and it is set to perform a backup on a weekly interval.  Or else you are connecting to the Desktop Software and it is set to perform a backup weekly.  
    It is likely the problems occurring around the time of a backup is coincidence.   Not saying 100% it isn't somehow related to something you did, just it probably didn't happen because of a backup.
    So here are some thoughts: The trackpad starts working again after a hard reset.   Again, there could be more involved, but this fact suggests it is possible the issue could be software.   Here is what I would do.  
    1) Do a full backup.  
    2) Do a clean OS reinstall.  See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    3) Perform the setup and log in with Blackberry ID as necessary.   Do not restore backup.  Do not install add-on or third-party apps.  
    4) Test for a while, for an hour or so if possible.  Hopefully there is no problem.  If there is, try a hard reset and see if that corrects the problem.   It isn't good news if the problem still occurs and is corrected with a hard reset, but it may be useful information to a technician. 
    5) Assuming there is no problem in step 4, restore the backup.  Again, test for a while.   Launch apps, browse around in device settings, put the device through paces.   Hopefully there is no problem.  If there is, then it's a reasonable suspicion that the problem is associated with corrupt data or settings in the backup.  So, if there are problems in this step, do a security wipe and do a selective restore and restore personal data such as address book and calendar, but not settings and customizations.   Test again.
    6) Install apps, most needed first, one at a time.  Test before installing the next app.   If you have the problems after installing the app, delete the app and test.  
    Good luck.  Recognize that it is very possible the track pad and buttons are failing or have failed.  I'm sure repairs can be made, but I'm not one to best advise on that.   There are DIY videos and so forth on the Web, and some parts vendors provide instructions.  Another option is to find a shop and get a diagnosis and estimate, provided the cost is reasonable.

  • BlackBerry 8110 does not initialize only LED blinks for 5 secs

    Hi all,
    I bought a used BlackBerry 8110. It worked fine in the beginning - then during some audio recording I suddenly got an hourglass cursor and the handy was frozen.
    Removing the battery - even for 24h - did not help. The moment I put in the battery the LED starts shining for approx. 5-6 secs, then it extinguishs for 2-3 sec, and so on. Thats all what happens. The display remains black.
    I also tried to re-install the complete device operating system but without any success. But when installing the OS the  ApploaderWebSL-Upgrade.msi was able to communicate with the handy and determines the installed software components and versions. Also the LED blinking stopped (LED was off) and the Apploader was able to delete all software installed on the device and write the new software. When that finishs and the Apploader tries to initialize (reboot) the handy the blinking described above starts again but the handy (and display) remains off.
    Does anyone have an idea what to do ???
    Any help is appreciated !!!
    Thanks a lot,
    Katja

  • Phone not working after the software upgrade

    I performed the software upgrade as indicated by the phone in the notifications.
    One the phone rebooted, I proceeded to enter my email accounts and it froze on a white screen with a spinning wheel.
    I rebooted and it continued to freeze.
    I took the battery out, rebooted, still can't add email accounts.  It freezes in the setting section.  I actually can't change any settings.
    If I reply to a text, the screen freezes black.
    If I try to reply to an email, the screen says, "Could not display this message"
    I have wiped it three times, powered off a billion times and still keeps freezing.  The update has been nothing but grief. 
    Any advice??

    Hello 2canoes and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your device after updating your software.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Software doesn't support the BlackBerry 10 OS

    a feuniquely useful and unique to BB.w years ago I upgraded to a OS 10 device and owned for less than 24 hours before paying to get my OS7 bold 9930 back. Currently debating on getting a classic, but believe that OS10 still does not support BB desktop nor the BNA website. 
    These were two features that I used very often and that I found unique to BB and very useful.
    How is OS10 supplanting these tools and services?
    Why in the world are they not retroactively supported?

    Hello,
    It is completely well documented what is required...here:
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/overview.html?LID=us:bb:software:desktopsoftware&LPOS=us:b...
    As you can see, BBLink and BBBlend exist for BB10, while the BB Desktop Software exists for legacy devices. BB10 and legacy devices are very very different...I can completely understand why they would need a totally new set of PC software for such a new and different device. It is what it is, and Blend provides a level of functionality never even dreamed of for legacy BBOS (well, maybe dreamed...but never delivered).

    I have on idea what that is, so can't help you there.
    Good luck!

  • Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

    On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
    When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
    So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26.  Very annoying indeed!
    Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
    event.    But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
    Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event.  e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm.  The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
    Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
    I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem.  However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
    For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options.  The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook.  FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
    I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change.  I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade.  Grrrrr.....

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Request Option to Disable Software from Loading During Start-Up

    After Blackberry Desktop Software automatic updates. Software become part of Start-Up option or menu. I do not want Blackberry Desktop Software to automatically load during Start-Up. The Desktop Software does not have a user friendly option to disable the desktop software from loading during start-up. Am writing you to add this feature to your desktop software. I've just completed loading v5.0.1 and again I need to hunt and peck a way through windows to delete this software from loading during start-up. This software needs to have a user friendly option to disable the desktop software from loading during start-up. When I loaded v4.x.x when I bought my blackberry your set-up wizard had this disable option, but all your subsequent software upgrades change my windows start-up to load blackberry desktop manager software. Please add this feature to your software.

    Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
    In regards to your hope that RIM will see your message -- these forums are a user-to-user support channel, not a user-to-RIM conduit. As such, it is unlikely that they will see what you have written. However, if you have specific and constructive ideas for them, I have heard that they accept such via email to [email protected]
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry desktop software non vede profilo outlook 2013

    BlackBerry Desktop Software, ver. 7.1.0.37 del 13/12/2012 (pacchetto 39)
    BalckBerry Torch 9860, ver. soft. 7.1 pacchetto 2061
    Outlook 2013 di Office Home and Business 2013 64 bit (installato da aggiornamento Office 2010 64 bit)
    Windows 8 64 bit
    Premetto che fino a ieri, prima dell'aggiornamento da Office 2010 a Office 2013, tutto andava regolarmente.
    Con l'aggiornamento il Desktop Software di Rim non riconosce più Outlook 2013 come programma di posta predefinito (nonostante che sia come tale impostato sia in Outlook che in pannello di controllo di Windows).
    Nel tentativo di impostazioni della sincronizzazione non consente di selezionare il Profilo Outlook in quanto mostra la lista profili come vuota.
    Il profilo di Outlook è unico "Outlook", e presente nella visualizzazione in pannello di controllo per le impostazioni Outlook.
    Si è già tentato il "ripara" della installazione di Office, con "cambia" dall'Installa (come anche citato su altre discussioni in merito a errori simili però con altre versioni di abbinamento)
    Si è già disinstallato e ri installato Desktop Software di Rim.
    Come dichiarazione esplicita la versione di dicembre 7.1 di desktop cita fino alla versione Outlook 2010, davo però scontato che trattandosi di una interoperabilità su aspetti che pensavo standardizzati fosse trasparente.
    Altro messaggio di errore riconduceva alla mancata attivazione di "Redemption".
    Dopo alcune ricerche sembrerebbe più un problema di Desktop che di sistema Office.
    Vi è qualche modo, anche operando sul registro di sistema, di riallineare il tutto ?
    Si sa se verrà in futuro mantenuto il supporto di sincronizzazione con Outlook sia in BlackBerry Desktop Software che in BlackBerry Link ?
    Grazie
    Saluti
    Roberto Pierini

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Interesting...I actually cannot determine at all why it ever worked for you...the Desktop Software is not compatible with Outlook 2013...refer:
    KB12268 Synchronization support for BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows
    Unless it's Outlook that got upgraded? You were not clear about exactly what was upgraded...but, if it was Outlook, then that would indeed explain it...the upgrade took you to a version of Outlook that is not supported.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Reboot your PC and then start the BlackBerry desktop software again, and see if it will complete the upgrade.
