Pearl 8220 external display inop...

I purchased an unlocked version of this phone on amazon.  It was used however its in almost new cosmetic condition.  All of the functions seem to work properly except the external display.  Is there a common problem and fix?  the phone seems to be a european version from a company called movistar if that helps...  thanks!

  • 8220 External Display

    Up got an 8220 flip phone and installed the BB Desktop Manager.  Manager indicated that software updates to v4.6 were available and I updated.  Now the external display no longer displays the time but my servicer provider's logo.  I have been all through the menus and user guide and cannot find how to change the basic image of the external display.  Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go into the Application Loader in Desktop Manager and make sure that BlackBerry Attachment Services is loaded.  That will restore your external display clock.  My wife's phone had the same issue after a botched system update.

    Hey mz3t,
    Welcome to the forums ! 
    Try to back up and complete a clean reload of the device software as shown here http://bbry.lv/cG8oer. Before you restore your data test to see if you are able to see the clock on the external display.

  • Trying to regain external display/up​grade or downgrade os?

    I just got Pearl Flip 8220 2 days ago.  I must have goofed when trying to remove things I don't need & I lost the external display.  I read posts saying upgrade/downgrade then upgrade os, but I need to know exactly how.  In DM I went to app loader and nothing shows that I took off, just the games, etc that I still have on phone.  I did check for update, but it says I am up to date.  Phone says it is v4.6.0.180. DM says it is v4.6.0.19, so I gues DM updated.  I am LOST.  Please help.

    Nice long story, but the short version would be better. Is this drive now in the external enclosure? If so connect it to one of your computers and try the following:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    If the drive is not accessible in Disk Utility or is not visible in Disk Utility then either the drive is dead or your enclosure is dead, or you have a defective cable.

  • BB Pearl 8220 Flip Hanging Issue

    Dear All,
    I have recently purchased BB pearl 8220 flip and very sad to know that device got completely hanged every second day which is very irritating to me so can any one please suggest/guide me what actually to do which helps me to get rid of the highlighted issue.
    Regards

    I just found the real fix by reading post linked below.  Open Blackberry Desk Manager while your 8220 is connected to your PC.  Open Application Loader.  Install Blackberry Attachment Service.  As soon as it completed installation my external display was back to the clock.  My T-Mobile SIM is currently out of the house and the phone is locked so I can't try Caller-ID or other alerts until tonight but if the clock is back I believe everything else is too.
    Thanks to zwood for posting the fix below.

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

    found the likely issue!  are you participating in youtube's html5 trial?  go here and it will tell you if you are:

    exit the trial and it should fix the issue.  it worked for me!

  • How do i use an external display with my macbook pro?

    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • Connecting a MacBook to an external display or projector

    I have tried to connect my MacBook to a projector and to a TV using the mini-DVI to Video adapter, both with the same poor results. Here's the steps I took:
    - Turned on the TV
    - Connected the video cable to the TV "video in"
    - Connected the video cable to the MacBook with the mini-DVI to vieo adapter
    - Opened the MacBook
    - Turned it on
    The MacBook boots up, the MacBook resolution changes and the video on the TV is distorted, showing essentially three images of the MacBook display. Any attempt to adjust the resolution using system preferences just makes it worse.
    Has anyone had success using a MacBook for presentations using either a TV or a projector and, if so, what procedure do you use to connect?

    Greetings from Hong Kong-
    I have a major presentation to give in a couple of days and have NOT been successful connecting to an external display. I am starting to freak out. Any instructions would be helpful!

  • DVD player full screen on external display

    I'm looking for a way to play my DVD full screen on my external display while I can work in other apps on the main screen. Preferrably with Apple DVD Player (OS X 10.7 Lion in my case). Any ideas? Hidden settings perhaps?
    It's stuff like this makes feel let down by Apple. It's natural feature to want this like for instance when playing DVD on a big screen in front of an audience and prepare something on the main display for viewing.

    I know I can do this already with VLC. For some discs that don't play well in VLC I'd prefer DVD Player though.

  • Disconnecting from external display changes background, disconnect server shares, inactivates desktop icons.

    I have a user working on a MacBook Pro, Lion OS X 10.8.2, connected to an external display. When disconnecting from the external display the background picture changes, he can’t open documents saved to desktop, and the connection to the server shares is lost.  Rebooting does not resolve the issue while it is disconnected from the external display.  If he reconnects the MacBook back to the external monitor sometimes he has to reboot to get everything back to normal.  It almost seems like it is logging him into a different account or profile or something like that (please excuse my messy terminology as most of our users are still using PCs).  However if you look at what account is logged in, it is still the same account that he logged in with that morning.  The Mac is not authenticating to the network, just connecting to server shares.  Has anyone experienced this issue before and if so is there a fix for it?

    The Mac has a long history of assuming that ANY adapter still present means the display is still present -- you need to remove the adapter as well as the cable, if present.
    So my theory articulated above is that the disconnect is not registered correctly. This would mean that the second display is still seen as present. You could check this by invoking:
    System Preferences > Displays ...
    and looking for the Arrange pane (shown above) which is ONLY present when multiple displays are attached. More detailed information can be found in About this Mac  > ( More info ) Graphics & Displays ...
    ... specifically the NAME of each attached display is shown or an indication (no display connected):

  • Disconnecting MacBook from external display

    Is there anyway to disconnect the Applr LED external display from the MacBook pro without having to shut all the way down or is is safe to just yank the mini display out while running?

    I've always just unplugged the display with no problem. The screen may go dark for a second as the system brings all the open windows over to the one screen (if you are using it as a second monitor instead of mirroring), but that's about all.
    The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have any USB peripherals that are connected via the monitor. Then you need to be more careful.

  • HT4108 Unable to read a movie from my iPad to an external display

    Hi everyone,
    I fear the worst here. I downloaded a TV show from iTunes and watched it fine on my external display (a full blown HD tv). Then I downloaded an HD movie from the iTunes store but my iPad2 says it's unable to play protected content. What gives ???
    Is there a work-around to this or does my gut-feeling tell me Apple has restricted the use of an external display for some commercial reason ?
    What's the point of buying full HD content if you can't watch it on full HD gear ?
    Thanks for your thoughts on this !

    try this:

    This helped meRe: not copied to iPad because you are not authorized for it on this computer 
    Nov 20, 2011 10:41 AM (in response to hoppo72)
    One workarwound is to do the following:
    1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
    2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
    3. Add the files back to iTunes
    This seems to fix the problem for me
    Hope this helps

  • How can I use an external display with my MBP lid closed and disconnected to power?

    I know that I can use an external display when my MBP lid is closed and it is connected to power. I was wondering why it does not work when the power cable is removed.
    I only use an external display when I am at home so my MBP acts like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini in that way, but it is not good to leave the battery charging constantly on a MBP so I want to disconnect the power and use external display and have the lid closed. Is this possible or do I have to leave my lid open when running on battery power?

    I'm plugged into my wall socket at least 90% of the time - probably more. I always make sure that I take my MBP off mains about once every two weeks and let it run down to about 30-40% and then plug it back up. This keeps the ions flowing and the battery healthy. My MBP will be one year old on March 20, 2013, and my battery health is still at 99%. I run in clamshell mode most of the time now - since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display. Only occasionally am I off mains - and then because I'm exercising my battery, usually.
    Don't worry about running of mains most of the time - just be sure and unplug about once every two weeks (or twice a month) and let your battery dip to the 30-40% mark and you'll be fine.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
