Pearl 8100 version 4.5 BB messenger non existing!

I recently bought a 8100 Pearl on ebay as a GSM phone with a SIM card. I put my card in the phone and everything works fine, i just dont have BB messenger anywhere. i have been troubleshooting all night trying to download everything, but no luck. it says the 4.5 version already has messenger on it, but i cant find it. i have found my PIN, and my cousin tried to add me, but all i got was a message from him and a bunch of symbols. my carrier is viaero wireless, and i made sure that they offered the blackberry service, and they do. please help. thanks

Please be confirmed that you have subscribed for BlackBerry Data plan from your carrier. This data plan is different from your internet plan. If you do not find BB Messenger then you can install it from the below location - http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/im/blackberry_messenger.jsp

Return the device to Amazon and get your money back for a non-working device.
If it is truly suspended or locked, there is no way around it, don't fight it.

No browser icon on Pearl 8100

Hiya... I am in a world of pain...
Sorry - quite a bit of background on this...
In 2009 my husband bought me a brand new Blackberry Pearl 8100 from the internet (he can't remember exactly where from). I put my existing O2 sim in it, expecting to be able to access the internet/emails, but neither were available to me. A quick call to O2 cleared that one up - my sim was Pay & Go and at that time, O2 were not doing Blackberry web & email on Pay & Go. I used it as a phone for a bit, got peeved (wanted internet and emails!) and bought a Samsung Tocco lite which I have been using up until last week when I found out that, since last July, O2 were now doing Blackberry internet on Pay & Go.
So, I excitedly purchase a bolt on from O2, shove my sim in my lovely Blackberry Pearl, get excited when I see the new icons for Facebook and Google etc... and then I realise that there is no browser option. No globe icon, nothing. The only way I can see a browser icon is if I press the menu key and select 'Switch Application'. The 'phone then says 'requesting', then offers me an option to sign up for Yahoo Messenger. If I hit the 'back' button, the screen goes blank. If I accept 'download', I get: 'Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Yahoo'.
I have set up my emails and they work fine. If I click on links in emails, I just get a blank screen.
I have spoken to O2 who have said that 'everything is fine their end' and there is no reason why I can't find a browser icon. They told me to check out the latest Blackberry download so my 'phone is updated. So, I have installed what I believe to be the latest version but that has had no effect whatsoever.
A battery pull (well, about a hundred of them actually..) has also had no effect).
I am close to throwing the flaming thing up the wall. Please help me save my beautiful little 'phone from such a cruel fate... any ideas?
(OS release: v4.2.193)

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull 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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you could investigate further updating your BB OS...here is a process to do that:
From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

BB Pearl - 8100 Bluetooth: "Unable to locate Object Push Server..."

I just purchased a New 2009 Audi A4 that has Bluetooth, however my Blackberry Pearl (8100) does not correctly transfer the Phonebook. Based on what I've read on various message boards, I should be happy it at least functions to make & receive calls, however when I try to sync the phonebook, I receive an Error: "Unable to locate Object Push Server..."
My BB Pearl has the following OS Version - 4.2.1.96 (Platform 2.3.0.78).
Based on the Official Audi Documentation, Research In Motion (RIM), Blackberry 8100 (Pearl), GSM, 4.2.0.51 was certified to work with the car. I assume (maybe incorrectly) since I'm at a higher version, I should be ok. I reviewed and have tried several options below, however have not been successful.
1. Turn on Car & Pair, disconnect Phone, then Reconnect and manually "Transfer Contacts"
2. Move Contacts into a Specific Category, then in the Bluetooth Menu just sync that particular category...manually " Transfer Contacts"
3. Disable Encryption & manually "Transfer Contacts" In my Bluetooth menu, it says the following Bluetooth Options are available:
Discoverable: Yes
Allow Outgoing Calls: Always
Address Book Transfer: All Entries
Led Indicator: On
Services
- Headset
- Handsfree
- Dial-Up Networking
Any ideas?
Thanks,- Nick

I too have a 2009 A4 Avant Audi - initially the BB and car paired beautifully, but after two weeks the phonebook would no longer transfer. I managed to solve the problem by deleting the call log. the BB keeps a lot of history and it seems as if over time, the memory get clogged, preventing the transfer of the telephone book. On trying to doing it manually, you then get the unable to locate object push server. Try it, it worked for me

Desktop manager download and rearranging files for Pearl 8100

I have a Pearl 8100 and lost my desktop manager CD and need to load it on to my new laptop. Where can I download this? I have tried a search here at this website, but I can't seem to narrow down what I need specifically.
Also, I was wondering if it were possible to move files around, specifically, from within a folder to the desktop. For example, Brickbreaker and Messenger.
Thank you - beth

Pearl 8100 quit working when updating software

I have a Pearl 8100 on AT&T and attempting to update the device software to version 4.5xxx.

The device shutdown and now the light does a double flash in red and will not start up. I have tried removing the battery, but does not power up, only receive the flashing light. I am unable to master reset as the device needs to be running from everything I can find. How can I get it to work and update the software?

Did you get an error message/number?

Pearl 8100 volume button problems w/ headset and speakerphone

Thanks in advance for help on this weird problem. This is slightly long .. but hang with me :-)
My Pearl 8100 volume automaticallygoes down slightly below halfway when I plug in a wired headset (or Bluetoothheadset) or activate the speaker phone. The volume + up button will not work. The– volume down button works fine and when I push the + up and it clicks but doesnothing. When I’m in headset mode the volume will stay at 100% via calllog<options<general options<default call volume commands… but if push the volume – down in handset mode and try to push the volume back+up …it will not work.
This problem seemed to start around the time when I upgradedto v4.5.0.110. Hard reset does not solve, so I wiped and re-installedv4.5.0.110 but had the same problem. Next wiped and installed an earlier versionv4.2.1.154 but had the same results. Finally, I wiped v4.2.1.154 andre-installed the latest v4.5.0.110 ... again.
So I’m back at where I started ;-(
Thanks again for any help

CORRECTION: I meant to say ... "When I'm in in HANDSET mode the volume will stay at 100% ... "

Poketmac Crashes 4.1.25 with Pearl 8100

Hi!
I have problems to sync my bb pearl 8100 with my macbook pro (Intel, Leopard 10.5.5).
I installed PocketMac, restart, opened the programm.
The i want to change the settings "Advanve Pref" of AdressBook etc.
After i click on the "Pref" Button, my mac says for example "Prgramm ABRimContacts crashes"...ignore, report, start new.
I hope u understand my main problem.
Please help me!
Chris

This shouldn't happen! There is no reason that one device (8800) will work and other (8100) will not. Please confirm the OS version on both of the handheld. Are you getting any sort or error messages?

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

Trouble installing a new OS on BB Pearl 8100

Hi there -
I have a BB Pearl 8100. It is unlocked, but loaded with T-Mobile OS (according to Options/About it's: v4.2.0.64, platform 2.2.0.37).
I am using with an ATT/Cingular SIM card for phone calls - for the most part this is successful but occassionally I will get a rash of "call failed" errors upon trying to make calls. Often turning the phone on and off will solve but not a permanent solution.
So I'm trying to load the appropriate AT&T OS on the device. I am following all instructions that I have seen posted on many different sites, including Blackberry.
In short, I am:
1) Downloading and Installing the right ATT OS for a Pearl 8100 from the BB website.
2) Open BB Desktop Manager
3) Connect BB Pearl to computer (via USB).
All of this seems to be working as designed.
However - the directions say that DTM should either prompt me to "Update Now" (assuming the Application Updates Available window appears) - or I should open Application Loader and launch the wizard process. I have to do the latter because it does not prompt me for auto Updating.
Once I do the latter, it does not detect that I have the newly installed OS waiting to be installed onto the BB Pearl. It detects a few applications that are already installed on the Pearl, but no new OS.
I'm very confused!!
I have tried this process with Desktop Manager 4.6 and 4.2 with SP, thinking maybe it had something to do with version of Desktop Manager, but same results.
What am I missing????
Thanks
Brad

Hello,
You can use any OS package on your BB as long as it is one that is exactly for your model number BB. This process is the best I know for installing (upgrade, downgrade, reload) an OS onto a BB:

If you choose an OS package from a carrier that is different from your BB's original carrier, then insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
Good luck!
