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.

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.

New update are listed on the app icon. When I click update all I'm prompted to enter password. When I do, the progress bars go away and nothing gets updated. Tried logging out, reset iPad, and nothing seems to work. Keeps asking me to enter password.

I've been having the same problem for days and just solved it. Tried going to Apple ID and had all the same problems you did in the second paragraph. I signed out with my current username on the ipad under settings--->store and signed back in with my oldest apple id and password. Now the apps don't ask for a password to upgrade. I too had a username that wasn't an email address and had to change to one that was at some point. That's what caused the problems. Hope this can work for you.

How come when it asks me to update some of my apps and i enter in my password nothing gets updated

It is not asking what part of your country you are in, but what country/region you are in.
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

On my third BB 8220 Pearl flip and this one has problems

I've had the 8220 for about 6 months now and I'm on my third replacement. I actually bought two of them originally one for me and one for the wife. Both of the original phones had calling out problems. If you started entering a phone number the phone would convert the numbers to letters and say it could not find a contact. It was very frustrating to say the least. Sometimes you could call out after four or five trys and other times you had to enter the contact info and call from that. T-Mobile replaced both phones.
The phone I received as a replacement started turning itself off for no apparent reason and would only come back on after the battery was removed and re-inserted. T-Mobile had me update the software and fiddle around with other settings, but that did not cure the problem and they replaced that phone.
The new replacement which I've had for three days also has problems. In bedside mode it will lock up sometime during the night. The outside screen will be locked on say 10:45 PM and the inside screen will be black. Again the only way to get it to re-boot is to pull the battery. If that is not bad enough this one also has intermittent calling out problems. It's doing just like the first one - start dialing a number and the phone converts the numbers to letters and says it can't find a contact. GRRR. It does not do it every time, but often enough that I'm about ready to flush the thing down the drain.

Here's a little update. In addition to the problems I mentioned above now this phone will receive and make calls only intermitently. My wife tried to call several times while she was out and got a little upset with me because she thought I had turned off my phone. I showed her I had received any calls or voice mails and she tried to call me again and the phone never rang. I tried to call her and her phone never rang. So I pulled the battery and the sim card waited a few seconds put them back in and the phone worked again.
So T-Mobile is sending out phone number four. I'm beginning to think RIM should re-call all the 8220s. They are not dependable.

8220 pearl flip phone case

i just got my new phone last week and i love it except for one thing, how come this blackberry doesnt come with a battery saving case???
sorry if its a dumb question but it really does stop them from being scratched

Hi there!
I suggest you contact o2 as there must be something not quite right with your BB registering on their network.
Good luck and let us know!

BB 8220 Pearl Flip drops WiFi calls when synch music with Windows Media Player

I noticed the 8220 crashes or drops calls if I synchronize a playlist of songs with Windows Media Player. Strangely, if I simply shuffle the songs with no playlist, then I encounter less problems. Is this because I don't have enough room on the media card after synchronization? (I set a playlist and sychronize it as there are certain songs I do not wish to place on my phone.)
I'm using: Windows XP, Windows Media Player version 11, Blackberry Desktop Manager version 5.0.1.

I'll try to answer to some of your questions.
The Media Card is according to the OS verison on the BlackBerry. The model doesn't really matter.
Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx".
Maximum capacities:
BlackBerry Device Software Media Card Size Limit
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 -- Up to 2 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 -- Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 -- Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 -- Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 -- Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and above -- Up to 16 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 -- Up to 32 GB

8220 Pearl Smart? Phone Major Device Issue

Ok, my turn... Here's my request for assistance then...
Blackberry 8220 Pearl Flip. Y'all know the story... the (expletitive of your choice) thing keeps shutting off then takes it's sweet time turning back on. Does this in the middle of calls, in the middle of sending text, in the middle of doing it's most useful job - as a paperweight.
It even does this if I shut off cell myself... A few minutes later I will look over and see it going through that startup sequence that takes about 5 minutes.
I have tried EVERYTHING on this forum. I spent about 6 hours reading and trying everything. Updated software - made it reset more often. Tried the business card between battery and cover, no help. Tried wiping the phone, no help. Tried leaving memory card out, no help. Thought of throwing it out of my truck at 80 mph, *probably* wouldnt help. Tried everything. No help no help no help.
HELP!!!
Auto on/off is disabled
Software update seems to be default answer on here... Kinda like Pilot Error anytime there's a plane-crash.
Battery drains completely in about 5 hours from resetting so much. Tried new battery. Drains just as quick.
Tried new SIM - no help
I realize this forum is staffed by volunteers - big surprise to me I must admit... But what can be done? Obviously by now, RIM must be aware of this problem... If they were into any kind of customer service, they'd offer a solution by now - replacement? Cheaper upgrade to phone that actually works? SOME kind of exchange or recall program?
I got my 8220 as a gift, so no receipts... Does this mean I'm screwed?
Provider is Rogers Canada and they are pretty much as useless as my 8220 right now, so please dont suggest going to provider - I have done that too. All they suggest is update software even when you tell them you just did 30 minutes previously. Plus, Rogers employees are definitely not the smartest peanut in the third. Paraphrasing here
I work for AT&T Customer Care and Tech Support, so I'm not a complete idgit when it comes to troubleshooting... I even tried the troubleshooting that is on my computer here. No help. Actually, the 8220 isn't listen in our computers.
I agree, there should be less bitching in the forums, understandable we are frustrated, but there should also be solutions. This is not a slam against the volunteers cuz I can see you guys are trying... But this many people complaining about the same problem, shouldnt that be a wake-up call for RIM???
So, after trying everything listen in the forums here, what else is there to try??? I am willing to try just about anything...
Please help

There are some great people on this forum but because the 8220 is a LEMON it cannot be fixed. You would think out of the countless web sites that have 8220 talked about as defective that this offical blackberry site could help. The worst thing is that they still sell these phones every day wthout any warning. We reading this have a computer and internet access. What if someone cannot try the installing OS **bleep** the carriers tell you. How many people cannot call their carrier because their phone don't work. How about an emergency call that needs to be made. RIM looks like it pumps a new model phone out every month, so nice of them!

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:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Device-software-for-BlackBerry/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-S...
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

I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

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.

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 wont load - Red LED blinks twice, nothing on screen

My Pearl Flip refuses to load, and the only activity it shows is the red LED blinking twice every few seconds. I have tried the following
-tried reinstalling the two most recent versions of the OS using the Blackberry Desktop Software, but the installation hangs at the point of loading the system software
-tried using the application loader, however the installation hangs at loading the system software
-tried to use JL_Cmdr to wipe the device. As far as I can tell it did not wipe it (although it doesn't really provide any errors either)
EDIT: Should also say Ive tried all the above from multiple computers and using Win7 and XP
What other methods can I try to restore this device? I appreciate any suggestions that might be out there.
Thanks!

Hey Scribs,
Welcome to the forums!
Have a look at this article for help reloading the software using loader.exe http://bbry.lv/9fsGPK If this method does not work you can try doing a reset to factory using the switch found in this article http://bbry.lv/dpNb1j
