Cannot receive/send MMS

I haven't been able to send or receive Multimedia Messages the past couple of days. Has anyone else been having this problem? And is there any way to correct this?

Hello ctspurgeon,
Thanks for your reply Ann154. Ctspurgeon let's get your Multimedia messages working! Are you able to send/receive text messages? Are you using the preinstalled messaging application that came on your device or a 3rd party application? If using a 3rd party application, remove this application and retest with the preinstalled one. Are you receiving an error when attempting to send? Have you noticed this happening with only certain contacts or does it happen with everyone?
Keep in mind the maximum file size for picture/video messages varies from device to device. Your device can send/receive a maximum file size of 1200 KB. I recommend you resize the pictures that you’re sending and retest if the phone isn't doing this automatically.
I also ask that you make sure you have the latest software update installed on your device. For more information regarding the latest software update you can visit this link. Another thing to try is *228 press (Send) and choose option 2. Let us know if you continue to experience difficulties sending/receiving Multimedia messages.
Thanks,

8100 won't send mms

My 8100 won't send mms but can receive them, I'm on T-Mobile and I talked with customer service for over an hour they said they changed the mms settings or something but never sent it to my hand held. Does anyone know how to fix this?

1. Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan on your account with Tmo?
2. Do this:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.
From your handheld device: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot

Internet Access/Email On My Blackberry Pearl 8100.

My mobile ‘phone account is with U.K. Orange on a pay-monthly basis. I recently bought a U.K. Vodafone-locked Blackberry Pearl 8100 from eBay. I got it unlocked successfully and inserted my Orange SIM card in it.
Everything works EXCEPT that I have no internet or email access whereas I did before on my old Orange Treo 600. I don’t even have a browser icon on the “desktop”. I tried to send an email from “Messages” but all I got was “No message services configured”.
Is there any way I can access the internet/email easily with my new Blackberry?
My home computer is an Apple Intel 24” iMac and I have PocketMac for Blackberry.

Blackberry Pearl 8100 as a modem

I have a Blackberry Pearl (8100) with AT&T and am using AT&T as my ISP. How do I use the phone as a Bluetooth modem with my MacBook? The salesperson at the apple store said I needed an External USB Modem. I can pair the phone with the MacBook, no problem, but it doesn't seem to connect to my ISP.

Find the 1st occurence of "Blackberry" on this page...

Basically, get this Modem Script...

Cannot receive/send emails via Mail on Mac using 10.6.8, keeps asking for password, very frustrating. Any ideas please? Regards

One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

Blackberry Pearl 8100 OS and application update

I just got my Blackberry Pearl 8100 and it has OS v4.2.0.71...I need/would like to have Microsoft To Go, so i can view my work files(excel, word), also would like to view videos(possibly different file formats) that i download, music(mp3's, etc), pics and things like that...where do i start with all of this because i have no idea what to do or how to do it...

Was tring to upgrade the Pearl 8100 OS from 4.2 to 4.5 today. After the initial software download process, the system got hung, will not recognise the phone, and the phone is dead except red light on the phone that keeps blinking, binks twice rapidly with a long pause and then repeats. Tried battery pull etc.... The Device manager does not recognise this 8100 Pearl any more.....Any ideas???
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. You can check for the BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife). There are many discussions about it on the forum, you can use the search form on top of this page.

Resetting my blackberry pearl 8100

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to reset my blackberry pearl 8100 or how to get my factory settings back to the way it was when I first got the phone.
Thank you!

dude iam no tec but i know when "RESETTING A Coumputer" or "Reformating a Computer" you will need the BASE PROGRAMS ariganaly on the system because its all gone after resetting. srry Bro but you will need the programs that run the vid and pic files that were on the blackberry, i think u will have to buy them back because your not a tec resetting a product. Srry again. and the only reson i posted on your thread was because, i typed "resetting my Blackberry pearl" and yours came up and read yours and i felt bad that you got screwd and felt that you and the tecs need to here what my phone has done. so dont feel bad just say screw them and get a new phone cuz they really didnt tell you enuff info about RESETTING a smart phone witch is really just a hand size computer. and if you have ever reformated a computer you would have known this, or my not have reolized its was a computer and not a phone cuz they realy didnt say, they just called it a "smart phone" more like DUMB phone to me but hey what ever, tecnology is only as good as the programer and as you can see he or them was not very smart with this one.
SO i say again srry Bro, Be you a woman or a man, your still my bro in this one. we both got screwed having to pay that kinda scratch for somthing we had to work on when all we wanted was somthing that works!

Oh, and just a little info to Adobe - Blackberry users are no
longer old, stuffy CEO types anymore who just need a BB for
business contacts. I'm a mom, a grad student, and I work at home. I
use my BB for just about everything, from calls to organizing
appointments. Most of all, I use my BB to hold notes for my
classes. I'd really like to use the second language software I got
for learning other languages... my friends all use the software
fine on their PDA's (but they have windows mobile OS). Here I am w/
this great Blackberry... but cannot stay up to date and on the go,
like I want to. Flash isn't just for those looking to download some
Youtube video. It helps out the regular people out there who really
would like to get the most out of Adobe software... PLEASE offer
flash for the BB Pearl! Thank you! :)

Blackberry pearl 8100 as a tethered modem - once worked fine but not anymore

For about a year upto late Sept 2008 I had been using my bb pearl 8100 as a tethered modem. Although it was slow I was able to access the internet from my desktop pc. But for some unknown reason in late Sept 2008 that all changed - i.e. I can longer access the internet from my desktop pc via the pearl - and neither I nor my ISP can work out what why.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled bb desktop manager (three different versions, the latest being 4.2.2.6), I have updated my device software, I have updated the modem drivers, I have installed the desktop software on 2 other computers and connected the pearl but I continue to experience the same problem, that being that although I am able to establish a phone connection little or no data is being transmitted. The best I have been able to acheive is sending about 35k of data and receiving about 2.5k over a 3 hour period. On most other occassions no data is exchanged at all although a connection is established. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? If so, how (if you did) did you resolve it? I'd also welcome any suggestions from others who think they have a solution. Thanks. J.

in windows XP you can try:
1. Select Start> Settings> Network Connections.
2. Double-click the New Connection Wizard. New Connection Wizard will open.
3. Click Next.
4. Select the option Connect to the Internet. Click Next.
5. Select Setup my connection manually. Click Next.
6. Select Connect using a dial-up modem. Click Next.
7. If the Select a Device screen appears, select the Modem - Standard Modem check box. Click Next.
8. In the ISP Name field, type a name for your connection. Click Next.
9. In the Phone number field, type * 99 #. Click Next.
10. Indicate which users will have access to the connection. Click Next.
11. Enter your user name and password provided by your service provider. Click Next.
12. Click Finish.
13. In the Connect window, click Properties.
14. In the Properties window, verify that Modem - Standard Modem appears beneath the Connect using heading, then click Configure.
15. In the Modem Configuration window, clear the Enable hardware flow control check box and make sure all of the other boxes are not checked above. Click OK.
16. In the Properties window, click OK
in Ubuntu, I can not try it but I've tried in XP and succeeded.... good luck

Have android, cannot receive group mms message from one specific iphone

I have a galaxy s4. My mom, dad, and sister, all have iphones. Whenever my family sends me a group message, I cannot receive any messages from my dad's phone. For example, if my mom sends a group message to my sister and me, I receive both of their messages. When she sends a group message to my dad and me, I only receive her messages, not my dad's.
Looking at the message history, group messages on my dad's iphone stay in imessage format (blue) even with my number as a recipient. On my mom's, the messages sent from her are green.
I can receive individual messages from my dad which are green.
I've checked the messaging settings on my dad's iphone and it completely matches my mom's messaging settings.
Is there any reason why his phone is staying in imessage format for group messages as compared to my mom's or my sisters?

I went through this after switching from iPhone to Android. I spent a couple of hours over a period of three days talking to Apple and Verizon support, trying everything they suggested. I finally got this info from a second-level Apple support rep: This is a known problem that will be fixed in some future release. Meanwhile, ask friends with iPhones to send you one-to-one messages, not group messages.

Cant receive/send MMS since IOS5 update.HELP :(

Just recently updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 5. But now I can receive or send mms to non-Iphone mobiles. Have resetted Iphone, turned Off, pressed Home&Power button together. NOTHING! My iphone is not Jailbroken, just want to send and receive mms messages.
Was able to send before the update. Am not happy
Im with Optus Prepaid if that matters.
Frustrated

Also tried the sending MMS with no WiFi and on 3G....nope. ddnt work. MMS Tab is on in Settings too....So can you help?

Hi J,
Just had the same problem myself.
Ended up giving in and called OPTUS.
I had to go to settings, general, down to reset, reset network settings, enter code.
Then go back to settings, carrier, turn automatic off, it will search for other carriers, (may take a while), then select a different carrier than yours, let it put a tick next to that carrier, then select your original carrier (may take awhile again), then when tick next to your carrier, turn automatic back on.
Test and see if you can send yourself an MMS. (always takes a while to go thorugh).
If that works, pick a friend and try to send MMS to them.
It appears to be a resetting requirement since the upgrade. Hope its not necessary every upgrade.
I am a happy girl, now it works.
Let me know if it works for you...Fingers crossed.

Hi,
Sounds like you have a corrupt Device OS.OS.
If you have a good backup of the phone you can restore it after the procedure.
Here is the procedure to do a clean install: read TANZIM'S POST:
