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!

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?

Blackberry Does not Function, Plugged into USB red light then 3 yellow lights and off

Blackberry Does not Function, Plugged into USB red light then 3 yellow lights and off, I cannot even claim the warrently without buying 50$ support?
I am an Electrical Engineer by trade and have 15+ years working with computers. I left it to charge over the last 3 days. Doesn't do anything. It's a $300 paper weight. My mother bought this product for me because she thought it was a great present but now it turns out to being worthless.
What kind of company are you? Honestly?
How the hell do you think your gonna get customer loyalty with this kind of customer service. It's clearly obvious why apple is destroying you. You are worthless competition. I want this blackberry fixed. I will NOT pay for support just to replace my blackberry. That is crooked business honestly. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
My mom bought this for my birthday 4 months ago. I open it up and it doesn't even work. How can you do this to your customers. It's no wonder your company is going out of business.
I demand you fix my issue. I have 1 year of warranty support. I will NOT pay extra just to get my Blackberry exchanged.
Wait until I inform all my news groups in my area of this. I am from ONTARIO, BRAMPTON. I am a CANADIAN, just like your company. CP24 WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS. I WILL RUIN YOUR REPUTATION. I PROMISE YOU THAT.

No sarcasm here either.
One of my PlayBooks recently went 'possum on me, too. Very frustrated, tried all the known tricks and tips to charge and revive it. Over a year old. I called the support line knowing it was out of date and they would deny me.
Nope, the lady very pleasantly accepted my request, I spoke with customer support and they bugged me via email daily until we got it resolved -- to MY satisfaction. My first interaction with PlayBook support, and it could not have gone more nicely nor further beyond my expectation.
I don't know what you experienced with PlayBook support, you didn't say why you're so mad with them. This is a user-to-user community support forum. We are not RIM employees, but volunteers who enjoy assisting other users. RIM personnel rarely comment on queries posted here. You would have noticed this in the EULA and message upon registration.
Sooo... good luck, and just for the record... the LED activity you described IS very fixable. Sorry you don't have the choice to explore those remedies any longer.

Tablet fails boot, red light, then blinking green....GRRR!!

Just as my tablet recieved the OS update, it no longer booted.
It was fully charged, and plugged into a standard micro USB at the time.
It said download was successful, restart now... so I did.
And I never could use it again.
When I tried to boot it, it had a red light, then the red light blinked a few times, then nothing.
And then, it blinked green six times. then nothing.
I tried a USB to my computer to use Blackberry Manager (latest version).
I tried of course, the various holding down the power button schemes, including the old one of holding down ALL the keys, and the new one with just the power and forward keys. Nothing.
I went on EBAY to get an OEM charger stand. I hope that works, but I don't have much hope for that.
And now, nothing. My blackberry is a brick after the update.
I came to like blackberry because of the reliability of the phone. While all of my iphone friends were crazy about tech support of apple, I replied, I don't need tech support with my blackberry (curve) nothing ever goes wrong.
But this whole situation, is getting me down.
Solved!

Connect it to the OEM wall outlet charger.
Press and hold down the power key ONLY for 20 seconds.

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.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

I cannot hear any songs or movies from my laptop speakers - the headphone port works and a red light is showing? The output sound settings are showing as digital optical only? Any ideas :)

I used the headphones in the laptop for the first time yesterday and have had this problem ever since. Any ideas

The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck. Try inserting the earphone plug a few times. If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.

Red light in corner blinks and then phone restarts???

Hello -
Hopefully I am posting in the right section.
So I just bought a used Blackberry Pearl 8120. So far I really like the phone, but a few little odd things have been happening and I don't know if it is normal with a solution, or if it is because I bought a crappy used phone........
The first thing that has happened a few times in the 2 days i've had the phone is the red light in the top right corner of the phone will blink, and then the phone will restart itself as if I had taken the battery out or fully shut down the phone. I'm not sure what the red light is about or why the phone would restart itself?? Which is a pain since it takes a few minutes to fully restart...... I read something about the red light being a message indicator but as far as I know I didn't receive any messages when the light was blinking....................
The other thing just happened this morning. Last night was the first time I needed to charge my phone. I put it on the charger and went to bed. When I got up this morning and grabbed it it was frozen and the time was 11:17PM. So assuming it had stopped at that time last night and I had to again restart the phone, another pain. I don't know whats up with that, if the phone is crappy or if it is something that has happened to others then I wont worry about it too much.......just kind of weird.
Anyway hopefully i'm not asking a question i could have found on this website but there is so much to go through! Thanks for any help.

mine just did that 30 min ago. wtf?
it is a red or amber led color and amber is a dead battery.
it starts up for a short time than the cell goes blank the red light goes on and
it restarts.
i ordered a new battery that should be here soon and i am hopeing the battery just went bad.
any takers on what is going on with my 8220?

BB Pearl Flip 8230 occasional red light. Phone will not turn on.

I am at a total loss as to what to do. As the title says, I get that red light coming on at the top of the phone like it is trying to come on, but never does. My phone has given me all kinds of trouble, with freezing, restarting on its own, wrong time and date, even the display on the front being upside down when i close my phone. I have put it on charge, tried taking the battery out and putting it back in and even tried another battery from another bb pearl flip 8230. Is there any hope of should I just take it to my provider?
Oh other things.... i get occasional messages that say app error in really tiny letters and ok below it. I can click it and it will restart. It has just been such a hassle for me..

More on this. I had Alltel for a service provider. AT&T took over Alltel in this area. Alltel then would not even look at it because of this. I still had a Motorola Razor and put that back into service in the interim (Alltel to AT&T takeover). When I started using the Razor again I had it shut off and after about an hour it powered itself up. Didn't think I had done this so I shut it off again. About an hour went by again at which point the Razor powered itself up again.
I am certain at this point the BB Pearl Flip 8230 has been attacked and infected as I had my email going to it. I willing to make a good size wager that there is an infection on the phone because as I said the Razor would power up and not shut off.
The phone I have been told can be flashed (reprogrammed) at the expense of losing all the information contained on it. I see this as the only solution to this point.
Now that AT&T has taken over I am using an HTC Aria. Not sending any emails from the email account to it either. Be prepared for whatever smart phone is being used is at risk of being attacked.
