Problem with Blackberry Pearl 8130

My girlfriend has the Pink Blackberry Pearl 8130 from Verizon Wireless. She has had the phone for about 4 months and occasionally we have noticed that when she recieves text messages or voicemails the phone will make the alert tone and you see the arrows recieving, once thats done the messages disappear from the phone. When you click on the inbox there is nothing there for text messages. We were just wondering if anyone else with this Blackberry Pearl from Verizon has had any problem like this?
Thanks! 

I guess you did say that her VM's are disappearing too. She's probably running out of memory. Try a hard reset (removing the battery). When you do that it should boost the memory a little bit. It's good to complete a hard reset as much as possible. I try to do it at least once a day.

  • Cannot get audio with Blackberry Pearl 8130

    HELP!  I for some reason lost my ring tones to my phone, nothing is on the audio.....it doesnt ring any more......just vibrates. I think I might have done something to wipe it out on the blackberry desk top......any suggestions?

    1. If you have not already, remove your devcie from the USB cable and check the ringtones again.
    2. If still nothing, reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Please report back if any change.
    Good luck.

    I just purchased the Blackberry Pearl 8130. I've tried to charge it for the last two hours and it will not turn on. It is plugged into the wall - the red light blinks intermittently, indicating that it is charging, however I have not been able to power it up. Do I need to exchange it for a new one?

    Hi there!
    Quite possibly...I would take it in for warranty evaluation, especially since it is so new.
    Good luck!

  • Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Blackberry Pearl 8130 Synchronizing problems with Outlook 2007 Calendar

    Have NEVER had a problem with synchronizing my calendar - now I get a message
    Unable to get an Outlook or MS Exchange record.  Lack of network access can cause this problem.  Retry and if problem persists refer to online topic How do I get technical support."
    I cannot find anything to help me fix this problem.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hmmm...strange indeed...OK, then the next thing I can think of is for you to perform a complete start over with DTM:
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.

  • .Desktop Software does not connect to Blackberry Pearl 8130

    On Monday, 12/17/12, I accepted an update of Blackberry Desktop Software to 7.1.0.37 (Bundle39). Since then my computer is unable to connect to my Blackbeery Pearl 8130 through the destop software. The computer sees the Blackberry fine, so there is not a problem with the USB cable or connection. It is the Blackberry software that does not work. How do I revert to the previous version of Blackberry Desktop Software (which did work just fine)?

    Forget it. I found an old download file on my computer and installed the software and now it works.

  • A few problems with new Pearl 3G 9105

    Device info
    Carrier: 02
    Model info and OS version earl 3G, 9105
    Apps and free space: 125.6MB free (1.5GB free in Media Card)
    Did a battery pull fix your issue? no
    Apps installed and their version if possible.  No Apps installed
    Hello,
    I recently purchased a Blackberry Pearl 3G  9105, three days ago in fact. This is my first Blackberry and I have a number of queries with it so was wondering if someone could help me?
    1. How do I select multiple e mails and text messages in order to delete them?
    I have heard that this can’t be done on this phone but surely this can’t be true. I have tried holding down the ‘aA’ button while scrolling but this does nothing.
    2. How do I select multiple recipients in order to send a group text?
    For example, on my last phone I could type a text, and then select a number of people to send it to by scrolling down my contacts and simply clicking on each recipient I wished to send the text to.
    3. Email settings. I have my hotmail account set up. When I receive an e mail it shows that I have 1 unread Email. However if I am at my desk and I have read the email on my PC, the Blackberry still shows it as unread. Is there any way to change this so when emails are read on my PC they are shown as unread on my phone?
    4. My scrolling button is sticking. I have changed the sensitivity to different settings but it hasn’t solved the problem. It just doesn’t run smoothly.
    5. The keypad has stopped lighting up. It sometimes does light up but most the time the lighting isn’t working.
    I have tried taking the battery out and seeing if that solves any of the problems but it hasn’t worked. Are these common problems or do you think I have a faulty phone?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    my keypad light wasnt working either but after taking the battery out and putting it back in ,the problem seems sorted.

    Hey dumpeal2,
    Welcome to the forums.
    Try following the instructions here to backup and do a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/cKy9A0 if you get the same result then I would suggest contacting your service provider and have them escalate your issue to RIM.

  • Is picture messaging on BlackBerry Pearl 8130 possible?

     I'm new to blackberries, I just got the pearl 8130 and I was wondering if there is anyway to send pictures messages instead of just emailing pictures. I was told by a sprint store employee that I could it was just a little tricky, but he did not tell me how and he sounded like he had never used a blackberry before. Could some one please fill me in.
    Thanks a bunch. 

    We all love our devices too Tracey, so lets see if we can get yours working
    the way it should!
    So the device software that you have is the latest that is offered
    by Verizon, the first thing I would try is a Security Wipe.  Before doing
    the wipe you are going to want to make a backup of device information. 
    The backup can be done using the Desktop Manger (DTM), once DTM is opened
    select Backup and Restore and choose the Backup Option.  Once you have a
    backup of the device then you can do a security wipe, this is going to wipe all
    the information off the device.  To do the security wipe go to Options –
    Security Options – General Setting, once in General Settings hit the menu
    button and you will have the Wipe Handheld option, click on this, the device
    will then ask if you want to erase 3rd party applications, you can
    say no to this as the backup does not contain any 3rd party
    applications. You will then be prompted to enter the word BlackBerry to proceed
    with the wipe.  The device will wipe and power off and back on, it is very
    important that you NOT pull out the battery during this process.  Once the
    device is back up you can go ahead and test to see if the call quality has
    improved.
    If this works then we can look at doing a selective restore of your data.
    If this does not work then we will be looking at reloading
    your device software.
    Let me know how this works out for you!

  • RTSP pause problem in Blackberry 8330 & 8130

    Hi Friends,
    I have developed an application which does RTSP streaming of media like audio and video. I am able to stream the content.
    The problem is: Audio when paused in blackberry 8330 & 8130 sends teardown request to Server instead pause request and cant playback from the paused state which results in closing player, but video is working fine.
    This same application works on other mobile devices like Nokia...with pause and resume operations.
    Looking for your valuable suggestion.
    Regards,
    Hithayath

    Hiya!
     Voicedial is not removable from the device or the DM. It is actually incorporated into the application (that is why it doesnt appear in the applications list, but has its own menu item under options)
    " Blackberry x.x.x Core Applications"
    there is an app that can remove core applications, give me a moment and I will try and find it.

  • Serious problem with blackberry 9300 Curve handset and denial from BB to replace the same, under warranty.

    Dear Blackberry Authorities,
    It is really a horrible experience with the handset of blackberry for me. I have purchased blackberry Curve handset 9300 on 22nd April from a "Phone Store”, Shop No.78,79,community centre, New friends colony, New Delhi, The Invoice No. is 319,The details of the handset are as follows:
    Handset: Blackberry Curve 9300 1256-India Qwerty-Pink
    Name: Blackberry 9300: ETA-716/2010/WRLO
    Model: RDA71UW
    It has been more than just three months ,when i purchased this handset ,It worked fine for about only fifty days from the date of purchase and from the second month ,to my shock, serious problem started in the handset and some time it was getting hanged ,sometime some keys in the keypad did not work ,some time it was getting hanged the moment I receive incoming call., sometime sms sending problem, some time some other problem ..Every time I used to switch off the phone and start again, then it used to work but after some days again there were some other problem occurring in the handset.
    The phone was not getting connected to PC from the starting, and i have tried so many times but i fail to get success.
    Many a times when I used t send sms the entire alphabet typed on sms has gone separately as a single alphabet in a particular sms to the recipient, causing embarrassment for me in my organization. I would blame the black berry for this embarrassment as this has caused due to faulty phone they have sold me,
    I am service class person and i get occupied with my work at office in the day hours and doesn’t have time to go to the service centre of blackberry every time the problem occurs, as there are only one service centre available in Delhi at Lajpat Nagar.The service centre is about 20 Kilometers away from the area my office is situated, I managed to keep the phone running by switching off and switching on after one or two minutes, every time the problem occurs but in the first week of last month ,when the problem started continuing  after  switching off and switching on also ,I was bound to go to service centre at noida since it is close to my place (about 14 Km) in comparison of Lajpat nagar at new delhi,the service engineer at blackberry service centre saw my phone and said there is some software problem which can be rectified by reinstalling the software, and there are some hardware problem also (some keys on the keypad is not et. all working) ,for which i have to surrender my phone to them and they will send it to the Blackberry Office (they did not give address) and it would take 15 days  at least ,thus since I had no back up phone and my each and every contact no. was there in phone it was difficult for me to give them handset at that time ,so I requested them to rectify the software problem by re installing the same.
    I asked the service manager to get the backup of all the data and contact no saved into the phone, but they refused to do so and they asked me to go to some other shop nearby to get the data backup, I went to that shop and they asked 250 Rupees for data backup of my phone. I was bound to say yes to them for the amount the charge for backup .I gave them my handset and after 20-30 minutes they came back to me by saying, we cannot store your data backup as it is not connecting to PC. It was a highly disappointing reply for me.
    Then i again went to your service centre and written down some important contact no.(the number which was stored on phone book) on piece of paper  and taken out my SD card ,and gave them handset for re installing the same.
    They gave me my handset after one and half hour and said" now it would work fine except hardware problem.".I came back and to my utter shock again after two three days handset was into its old condition ,then also I tried to manage with handset and when i could spare sometime I went to your service centre again on 24th July at Noida,
    they took the phone and said it would take 12-15 days to return the handset after rectifying the problem,when i requested them to change the handset with a new handset which is at least in good working condition , they clarified that if the hardware problem is not manageable or repairable ,i would get new handset had no option except to give them handset for rectifying the problem.
    Now,It is the time for a biggest shock from blackberry people-Today on 3rd August ,i have received a call from noida blackberry service centre to inform me that my handset cannot get repaired under standard warranty conditions of blackberry as there are some moisture into the phone and there is no warranty if there is a moisture inside the phone.
    Thus now i wish to inform all the concerned ,Blackberry/Research in Motion ,managers/authorities ,that i have explained above ,all the things ,happened to me in last three months of my purchase of handset, in detail ,so i would again request to Blackberry/Research in Motion ,managers/authorities, to rectify the problem of my handset or change the entire handset so that I can use the same peacefully and should not roam around the service center of blackberry.
    Giving this lame excuse that "there is a moisture inside the handset and thus it can’t get repaired or changed under warranty " is a clear case of cheating and harassing the customer, I have bought the handset to use it for my communication purpose not to roam around the blackberry service center nor to put water or moisture inside the handset and play with the handset and fight with all of you.
    If there were some moisture inside the handset then that should have been seen by the noida service centre people also during my First visit itself by them and they would have refused taking the handset for repair. They did not refuse but accepted handset and reinstalled software also, If there was some moisture that would have been seen by them that time only.
    In my second visit also the took my phone and seen the inside condition also of handset in front of me ,they did not see any moisture, that time also ,and now after 10 odd days ,there are some moisture inside the phone??????.
    I have no idea how blackberry keeps its handset ,which has come to them for repairing ,but if there is any trace of moisture into my handset ,that would have come into the handset ,during these 10 days only when phone was with blackberry authorized service engineers for repair purpose. What I know is that My Blackberry handset is under warranty and it is not working properly thus it should be replaced by Blackberry.
    On the keypad if some key are not working that is a hardware problem which was there in the handset and it has no connection with the moisture.
    If this is the way blackberry is treating its customer, i would say it is harassing its customer, and does not want to rectify the problem .in this case, I would have no option left except to go to the consumer court in Indian judiciary system. And moreover i would inform my and other friends, organizational employee also not to use services/or buy blackberry handset if this is the way BB is treating its customer.
    I would request all the concerned persons/managers/authorities of Blackberry/Research in Motion, take action into my case urgently and rectify the core problem into my handset instead of giving lame excuses, and change the faulty handset of mine with a new properly working handset under warranty condition.
    Best Regards
    Asim
