Random restarts on Blackberry Pearl 8120

Yes, I have a Blackberry Pearl 8120 that I got used for fifty dollars after my old Blackberry Pearl 8100 died. Anyway, to make a long story short it randomly resets itself. The screen goes black, and the LED in the right-hand corner goes red...and then it turns on a few seconds later with a white screen and an hourglass in the center. After a minute or two, it reboots the homescreen and operating system as if nothing happened.
This happens at random intervals, and I do not know what is causing it. Sometimes it will happen several times in a row and other times it will not happen for several hours. It can happen at any time whether you are in the middle of a phone call or if you simply have it on a table and you are not even touching it.
I have done the following steps to determine the problem:
1. I have removed the media card to determine if that was the problem - No change
2. I have removed the SIM card to determine if that was the problem - No change
3. I have reinstalled the operating system - No change
4. I have tried clearing the message log - No change
5. I have made sure that the battery was not loose - No change
6. I have switched batteries - No change
7. I have tried wiping the memory - No change
The only apps I have on it are the original ones that it came with. I do not know what else it could be as I have done all that my carrier suggested. I would rather not have to get a new phone as I like this phone and I do not need all of the extra stuff on it that newer models have. If anybody can help me with this issue, let me know.

Hello Neurovore,
Welcome to the forums.
From the sounds of it you have done everything there is to do. One question, when you did the software reload did you restore a backup file? If the answer is yes the I would suggest doing the software reload again and this time do not restore the backup file and test to see if you have the same issue. If after doing the software reload you still have the same issue then I suspect that it is a hardware issue and you will need to contact your service provider to see if they have a repair center than can look at the device for you.
Hope this helps. Have a good day.

Blackberry pearl 8120 screen auto shut off

Hi,
The screen of my blackberry pearl 8120 shuts off automatically (almost once every day). When this happens, I have to press the start button and it would come back to the main screen with in few seconds and get registered with AT&T. I have updated the device software, removed the media card but still have the problem. Please let me know how to avoid this.
Thanks

Changing sms tone

once I have downloaded, how do I change my sms tone?

Settings > Sound > Text Tone.
That sets the default sound. You can also set a specific tone for each person by placing an entry containing the person's phone number in the AddressBook and specifying the tone there.
What iOS does not currently support is adding new text tones to the list provided (like you can do with ringtones). If you Google "iOS 5 text tone" you'll note several respectable news outlets have stated that custom text tones appear to be part of that.

Blackberry Pearl 8120-contacts names not showing

I just upgraded to this phone and half the time when my phone rings contact names do not show up, just the phone number. What's going on?

Do you have those names/numbers in your BlackBerry Adress Book?
also, read this:
There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.

Please help with Blackberry Pearl 8120

I can't seem to get this phone to sync with my macbook. I have Mac OS X 10.5.1 and I just purchased my phone from t-mobile. I downloaded the Pocketmac and the driver update. I installed both according to the directions on another post (installing both and then restarting), but the syncing is still failing. What should I do? TIA for any help ya'll can give me.
I forgot to mention that each time I try to sync, I get an error message at the end that says "skipping."

Ahhh!!! Now it's saying that my brand new media card has errors on it and to use a "disk error checking utility on a computer" to correct them. I don't even know what that means, but how can my card have errors??? I've only taken 2 pictures and not downloaded anything but this software!!!!!
Message Edited by kclassic225 on 07-15-2008 10:40 PM

I went from the BB Pearl the iPhone. I am using the Pearl again and am having the same issues I've always had with PocketMac. It shows errors when trying to change settings and won't activate the sync button. Then, it just syncs on its own and wipes my iCal and Address Book clean. I've had to restore from Time Machine twice this week. I am back to using Missing Sync. Too bad they can't get this software to work consistently.

Blackberry pearl 8120

I tried to download latest software for this phone using a usb lead from the laptop. I had to unplug before it finished as it had taken nearly an hour , which should of only been 20 mins. The phone has never come back on, only a red light coming on and off. Any advice or suggestions welcome.
Rob

Hello rob76 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Device update times aren't set in stone and can vary to complete.
It sounds like the device was disconnected before the software update was finished being installed.
Remove the battery and try the update again as shown in KB11320 and reinsert the battery when you get to the "Waiting for device initialization" screen.
If you are still unable to get the software to reinstall, contact your mobile network carrier for further assistance.

Blackberry pearl 8120 crash

ok so my blackberry is only restarting but not actually coming on & its not readin on my computer..any advise on how to get it working???

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Try safe mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
If you installed something new just before this behavior started, then you can remove it while in Safe Mode.
Also, be sure you are doing a proper clean 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.
Best!

IPhone 3GS SMS tones

Will I be able to change SMS tones with the new iPhone 3GS????
and changing it without doing anything non-apple to it. I just want to use my own mp3 tone.

I Recommend that Apple allows one to change the SMS message alerts (Audible, Vibrate, and visual).
I work at True Call International, who issues pagers to everyone. Recently the company I work for has implemented the company alert system to include SMS addresses of people who wish not to carry a pager and phone all the time.
However, until Apple addresses the SMS issue, I can't see the iPhone as an approved pager replacement device.
Does anyone know of any "Feedback or Suggestion" pages that will get to the great minds at Apple?
Thanks,
Tim

Pearl 8120 Problem

I have purchased, a blackberry pearl 8120 from t-mobile in replacement of my 8100... but unfortunatly i had to exchange the phone twice, and did the same problem. THEY BOTH WOULD NOT except any of my Micro SD Cards. Why is that? ive tried 3 different SD CARDS and formated them to the phone... it just kept on restarting over and over and over. now i have lost 200dollars DUE to the poor 8120 Hold to the MICRO SD Cards. Please tell me if someone has already figuired out what was going on.

i dont really have a solution to your problem but something u could try is to leave the card in, remove the battery then replace. but first, if you dont have anything important on your card, i would delete/format the entire card the try it this way you'll start off with a fresh card.

Is it bug ?
No, it's not a bug. It's called low memory. You were at 2MB file free, after reboot, at 6MB file free.
Neither of which are really acceptable.

I was having the same problems, and this answered it for me. However, it seems to me that this is a poor design in how the device handles insufficent memory situations. It seems to me that the device should alert the user to the situation first, and then ask whether to crash abort what it's doing, or to allow it to continue at the risk of messages getting deleted. I would've never had a clue as to what was happening, except to suspect that my device was bad. Maybe this could be a future design fix.

Changing the SMS tone?

Why is there not an option to change the tone of the SMS or you've got mail tone??? Will there be a download for this soon???
Thanks

Kody. If you have software version 1.1.1 installed, just go to Settings - Sounds - New Text Message.
You'll find 6 tones. The volume of these tones is variable, but always the same as your ringer volume.
