Is the display on Pearl Flip 8220 sharper that the one on my 8310?

Does anyone know why the display on a Pearl Flip 8220 seems sharper than the one on my 8310?  Is it the 4.6 OS or the actual display?
Man, I want a 8900......

  • Pearl Flip 8220 - unable to reload OS

    Dear all,
    I am using a Pearl Flip 8220 (T-Mobile unlocked version) in INDIA.
    Recently I gave the handset for OS reloading as I was getting a 'Call Failed' message frequently. None of the repair shops could resolve the issue & hence I decided to wipe the existing OS (on my own) and reload the latest one by downloading it from BB website for my carrier (Airtel). I wiped the existing OS using BBSAK and tried loading the OS.
    But since then I have been facing issues and not able to do it. While trying to load the OS, the handset restarts automatically, for some reason, and the loading ends abruptly. I have observed that this happens while the applicaion tries to load 'net_rim_cldc.cod'.
    I would be extremely grateful if somebody has come across the scenario and can help me resolve it. Am not very familiar with the installation, but did go through a few suggestions given by a members on CrackBerry & other forums.

    Hi Sharan,
    Try just following the steps here:

    If you still have problems, it may be necessary to reload the JVM on the device as well. To do that, go to the Start button on your computer and in the search box, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks). This will open the DOS command box. Type the following exactly as written below:
    cd c:\program files (x86)\common files\research in motion\apploader\
    Press enter (note, if your computer runs a 32-bit version of Windows, do not include the (x86) part, so instead type "cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader", minus the quotation marks and press enter).
    Next, type:
    Loader.exe /nojvm
    Press enter again. This will now open the Loader file in a way that will also reload the java virtual manager on the device, which should help.
    If that still doesn't work, let us know. Good luck!

  • Pearl Flip 8220

    Hi All,
    I just bought a Pearl Flip 8220. Received it two days ago and have been using it as a normal phone while waiting to register with my service provider. This morning for no apparent reason the phone blanked out and all I can get now is the red LED indicator light intermittent with the white background and (wait- loading) clock. I have tried taking the battery out and replacing to reset but to no avail. Any ideas? 

    Welcme to the cmmunity supprt frums
    I would probably have them send me another one. Sounds like you may need to reload the OS.  It is something that can be done but if it is a new phone, I would want a new replacement. 
    Thats just me....  others will be here to give you direction as well! Glad you are here! Enjoy your stay ... and most of all enjoy that BlackBerry

  • Traditional chinese language support for pearl flip 8220?

    I just got a pearl flip from T-Mobile.  I'm happy with most features, however, there is no Chinese language support whatsoever.  All the Chinese characters show up as black boxes.  Anyone know of any fixes so that I can read and input Chinese (traditional Chinese)?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Your device OS does not support chinese symbols.
    Ask your wireless provider for a multi-language device OS that supports chinese characters.
    Otherwise - check a chinese wireless provider for device OS. But note that your wireless provider disfavor use of device os from another wireless providers.
    If you decide to use OS from another wireless provider - use OS exactly for your device model.
    Install OS package on your desktop computer. After that delete Vendor.xml file from installed files on your desktop PC.
    Connect your device to the computer and update device OS via Blackberry Desktop Manager/Application Loader.

  • Nothing gets updated on my 8220 Pearl Flip

    Hey
    I am trying to update my App World and my BBM to BBM 6 but they never get updated even after rebooting my phone several times. I tried installing them through all the possible ways. Through my phone, through the mail that the website sends and USB but nothing seems to be working. My device is listed in the supporting devices. 
    What seems to be the problem?
    Any help would be appreciated immensely. 
    Thank you!

    Hello Yashvi, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    The reason you are not able to update these applications is most likely do to the version of BlackBerry® device software that is running on your BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip 8220 smartphone.
    Have a look below for the system requirements for the BlackBerry App World™ storefront
    BlackBerry App World 2.1 requires BlackBerry® Device Software v4.5 or higher. BlackBerry App World 3.1 requires BlackBerry® Device Software v5.0 or higher (Click "options", then "about" from your smartphone to check your version). 
    A trackpad, trackball or touch screen
    A service plan that includes access to the BlackBerry® Browser
    Have a look below for the system requirements for BlackBerry® Messenger 
    At least 4.0 MB of available application storage
    BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0 or later
    A wireless service data plan
    You can check your wireless service provider download sit here:http://bbry.lv/ad7CII to see if there is a software update available for your device. 
    Hope this helps.

  • BB Pearl Flip initialization problems

    Hi everybody,
    I am new here and I would like to get some answers to my BB Pearl Flip problems.
    I bought one back in March 2010. It worked well for 6 weeks, then problems started.
    It either said 'initialization failed' or 'SIM card error'
    I contacted my provider E-Plus and they gave me a new SIM card. Didn't help.
    Another card from T-mobile works, but then it has not the Blackberry option.
    Then I bought a new phone (now I have two). This phone does not work properly either.
    It has four options after turning it on.
    - it works fine for a while
    - initialization failed
    - SIM card error
    - Code error (4 digit PIN code was correct)
    It takes sometimes many attempts to get it working.
    But when it started it does not mean it works well.
    It does for a while, then suddenly it fails. Sometimes just a few seconds after it received connection and downloaded messages, somethimes while messenging, or during a call, also mostly after I hang up, or also on closing the handheld. Again 'initialization failed' or 'SIM card error' appears on the screen. So I turn it off and on again, same game again. Also after pulling out the card it is not guaranteed that it works.
    I have to do that >10 times a day and it is just frustrating. Mostly because this happens when I actually use the phone. It does not fail when it is just waiting for something to happen.
    I love my Pearl Flip, but this bug is annoying. I can not rely on my phone.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you and kind regards,
    Very sad S.

    Try resetting the device by pulling the battery while the device is powered on.  Leave the battery out for about 30 seconds and then put it all back together.  Once the phone resets, try to zoom or ALT-digit again and it should work.  Pulling the battery usually fixes most problems with a BB.

  • Email account problem 8220 pearl flip

    Hi there,
    Don't know if anyone can help. I recently bought 8220 pearl flip, but can't register my email account!. On the device when I get to the email setup page, it comes up with "Select an email setup option, but it only gives me one option, "Iwant to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server". There are no other choices. I don't want to do this, I just want my personal account on it.
    How do I get to do this? It was simple on my Sony ericcson....
    Many thanks for any help in advance.
    Regards, Bill.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.

  • Do the FLip 8220 work with swedish sim card?

    I recentley bought a new unlocked (used to be T mobile) balckberry flip 8220. It wont recognice my swedish sim card. Must the sim card support edge? Cause my carrier do not have edge, just GPRS and 3G.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Is the 8220 device unlocked for other carriers (other than Tmobile)?
    To determine if your BlackBerry is "unlocked" for use on carriers other than for which it is branded:
    1. On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
    2. At that screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.
    * If your BlackBerry has a SureType keyboard (71xx and 81xx devices) you will need to double-tap the P, so the actual keys entered become M E P P D.
    3. Look for Network in the list.
    4. If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.

  • 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.

  • Blackberry Pearl flip...

    I cannot for the life of me find out how to change my text messaging alert tone to a custom tone?? I know you should be able to on the pearl flip.. Would anyone mind telling me how??
    Thank You

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Contrary to how others do things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a conduit software that functions as a bridge between your chosen PIM and the BB. See this KB for compatible PIM's:
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    So, your choice is, IMO, to keep using a desktop PIM to manage your data (and you should, IMO)...then choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then, get your data into that PIM and configure the BB to sync with the PIM:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Good luck and let us know!

  • BB Pearl Flip 8230 problem with recieving phone calls

    I don't know if anyone has experienced this problem with their BB Pearl Flip 8230. My problem is, when ever someone calls my 8230 and I answer the call the person making the call gets a very loud squeel as soon as I answer. It happens when I use flip open answer, when I manualy answer. I've turned down the volume and it still does the same thing. I've pulled the battery out while phone was still turned on to do hard reset still no change.
    Blackberry 8230 smartphone (CDMA) v4.6.1.182 (Platform 3.3.0.64)
    Hopefuly someone has an idea of whats going on, it would be nice to get it figured out.
    Thanks for now
    Cheers 

    My gf and I are have the exact same problem.  It doesnt happen all the time, but  it does happen frequently.   Did you figure out what the problem was?
