Videostreams for Pearl 8130

One of the free downloads available on the BB page (link below) is for an app called Videostreams.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/builtforblackberry/music.jsp
The download site says specifically that it's good to go with a Pearl, but it won't work for me. Downloads fine, but when I run it, I get to the frontpage and then it sits and sits and sits... Has anyone else had any better luck with this app? It looks like it'd be cool, if only it would run.

DM for Mac device updates for Pearl 8130

hello!
i discovered the DM for mac today when searching for ways to update the device software on my pearl 8130. i downloaded it and have had no trouble backing up or synching, but am supremely frustrated with the device update process.
i am currently running 4.3.0.97 and the core apps and system software are in the 4.5 range. when i select these updates and attempt to run them -- regardless of whether i choose to include system or third-party app backups in the process -- everything's cool until the DM says it's "Loading OS..."
my pearl reboots itself every time i get to this point, which causes a "DM cannot connect to your device. Reconnect and try again" message from the DM. i've taken out the battery, rebooted the DM -- nothing is working.
does anyone know why this auto-reboot is happening and what i can do about it? alternatively, does anyone know how i can download system updates WITHOUT DM, but still using a mac?
thanks!

I had the same problem and gave up. I did my updates using the Windows XP version of DM using Bootcamp on the mac to launch XP. I tried XP via Parallels first but it seemed to have issues with XP seeing the 8130 via USB. I didn't bother troubleshooting and went straight to Bootcamp and running the MAC as an XP only machine.
Hopefully with everything updated I can use the Mac DM alone but I'm having problems and starting to regret I didn't stick with Missing Sync until MAC DM is more mature.

Backlight option for Pearl 8130

Hi all, I'm having an issue with the backlight for my Pearl. Even though I go under into Options and turn off the automatic backlight dimmer setting, the light still only works under a low light situation. I tried shutting it off and removing the battery as suggested to me by someone already, but it's still doing what it wants to do. Am I looking at having to remove the software for the phone and try reinstalling it? Thanks!

Pearl 8130 will no longer sync with Outlook 2007 or Entourage 2008 Calendar via USB

I currently have the Pearl 8130 v4.5.0.77 running Desktop Manager v4.7 on my office computer (Windows XP) and Pocketmac on my home computer (iMac OS 10). I do not utilize the BES - all syncing is done via USB.
I previously used the earlier version of DM and had no issues syncing all information between the BB, iMac, and XP machines. Now I can no longer sync any of my Calendar information - one-way or two-way - to or from the BB to either computer. My, tasks, contacts/address book all sync without issue.
I've read through the various threads in this forum (and other online forums) and tried the various fixes with no success. Any help is much appreciated. The calendar sync is critical otherwise my Pearl could be cast to swine.

I had the same problem. I found this answer in the Solution Center and it worked. I found that after adding Facebook to my BB it had changed the default calendar. This Resolution fixed it!
Resolution 1
To resolve this issue, change the default calendar service book by completing the following steps:
From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Advanced Options > Default Services.
Change the value of the Calendar (CICAL) field to the desired calendar service book.
Save the changes and synchronize again.
Resolution 2
Upgrade to BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0.97 or later. For instructions, see KB03901.

Upgrade to 4.5 device software on Telus Pearl 8130: HTML Email viewer doesn't work

I just upgraded the software on my Telus Mobility (Canada) BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (from 4.3).
One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade was to take advantage of the HTML email viewer (yeah! finally!).
My installation went fine, and the View Messages in HTML option is enabled (was by default, have verified it again).
On my first test email that I sent to myself from my Yahoo account to my default ISP email account, here's what happened. The Yahoo email uses a very simple "stationery" as background, consisting of two small graphic files, one in the upper left and one in the lower right. In between those two graphics is the text you wish to write. So I put the words "test test" in the text portion and sent it to myself.
When the email was received on the Pearl, indeed I saw the two graphics. However, the text was not displayed.
That was the first attempt. The second attempt produced no graphics at all.
I also tried sending myself an email using some formatting, like bold fonts, different text colors, underline and one jpg file. None of the formatting came through, and the jpg came through as an attachment (instead of in the the body of the email where it was placed). When I tried to open the jpg, by clicking on "1 Attachment", I got an error stating that it is an unrecognized file type and cannot be opened.
So it appears that the upgrade took 1 step forward and 3 backwards.
Anyone experience this, and if so, is there a fix, either now or in the works? Does RIM Support read these forums?
Telus Tech Support said that something is being done but they weren't too specific.
I have another upgrade-related question regarding Documents to Go, but I'll post that in a separate thread.

hello,
about your Bluetooth problem, I suggest you one a new discussion on the decicated board called "BlackBerry Accessories". ou will find there experts about Bluetooth.
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board?board.id=accessories
about the third point : it usually takes a long time for the device to emerge after a battery pull. It's quite common, you can't do anything about it.
about the second point. In my opinion there at least one picture that is corrupted (or one index file).
in the folder containing that image, do you have many images ? Let's call that folder A.
I suggest you to move them one by one into another folder B, then scroll through the folder A.
it will certainly reset a few times, until at one point it wont' freeze, meaning the folder A does not contain the corrupted image anymore.
you then know that the last image moved from A to B is the culprit.

BB Pearl 8130 "access not allowed!" when trying to download Blackberry App World

Hi, well I am trying to download blackberry app world onto my blackberry pearl 8130 and whenever I try to download it it goes through the language prompts but then goes to a page with "access not allowed" My device software is v4.5, I am currently in Canada, I have the data plan, I can use the internet browser and my carrier is Telus. All help is appreciated, please and thank you!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
"Access Not Allowed"? Is that the precise and exact message? If not, please do provide the precise message.
Please check this page to ensure you meet the minimum requirements (including if it is available in your country):
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp
If it is available in your country and you feel you meet the device-level system requirements, then contact your carrier to ensure that you meet the service plan (from them) requirements for access (via their network) to AppWorld. Generic data plans, even unlimited, are usually not sufficient...a specific BB data plan is normally required.
Lastly, do be aware that AppWorld is merely a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. As such, it is not your exclusive procurement source -- there are others that you can try (e.g., Handango, Handmark, BPlay, GetJAR or Mobihand). I have found that there are very few apps that are exclusive to AppWorld. You can search the on-line catalog and then search out other procurement sources, including quite often the developer website itself.
Good luck!

Blackberry Pearl 8130 as a modem

Hello everyone! I'm currently trying to use my Blackberry Pearl 8130 as a modem, but having issues. I'm running a Macbook - OS-X 10.5.8 with Sprint as my carrier with everything plan. I have the ability to run as modem via bluetooth or through data cable but for some reason can't get either of them to work.
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks!

Problems with Pearl 8130

Lately I've been having some issues with my Pearl 8130. I have been able to temporarily correct these problems by removing my battery and resetting the phone, but the problems have gotten steadily worse so that I have to reset it ten times a day.
Sometimes when someone calls me it won't ring (yes, I've checked and my ringer is on); it will show me a missed call, but when I check my call log nothing is there. Yes, someone is really calling, I did confirm that with the caller.
Sometimes when someone sends me a message in BB Messenger, it will show on my main screen the icon showing I have a new message, but when I open BB Messenger there is no message there. If I click on my Message Icon, it shows there that I have a new BB message, but when I click on it, it takes me back to BB Messenger and there is no message there. If I reset my phone by removing the battery, the BB message is there then.
I'm getting frustrated with having to take the battery out so many times a day.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

YES!! Memory Leak!! It's not just you.
I got sucked into getting a fun-sized Blackberry Pearl. I love the interface, the trackball, the intelligent auto-text, the camera, the media player, everything. It's a perfect phone. Almost.
MY BLACKBERRY PEARL 8130 RANDOMLY DELETES ALL MESSAGES WITHOUT WARNING.
It happens to all Pearls with all carriers (VERIZON, SPRINT, T-MOBILE...)
It happens regardless of how much free memory you keep available. I babysit my phone hourly, and it still happens.
It happens even though I have a 2-GIG memory card.
It happens if you let it sit on the counter and collect dust.
It happened to the refurbished unit they sent me to 'fix' it.
It doesn't warn you it's erasing itself. You have to find out the hard way.
When it happens, it also continues to erase all incomming messages and missed call reports, even after it makes more room by doing that auto-brain-flush.
The only way to begin receiving messages again, is to remove the battery for a minute, and re-boot it.
Sprint tells you that it's an intentional design feature by RIM to make room. The 4 Sprint tech support people that I talked to, read from the same script. They keep a sheet of tatterd and worn paper outlining the excuse that SPRINT brainwashed them into reading and believing.
Verizon offers to give you a newer model, but newer models do it too. They might do it less because they have more internal memory, but since there is no set memory level for the crash to happen, I wouldn't trust a Curve, either.
RIM has people that post messages on boards like these, attempting to minimize this problem. They pose as fake Blackberry owners, try to make you feel stupid, and blame it on the end-user. It is not your fault. There is nothing you can do.
My phone number is[removed personal information]
My name is Nathan.
Call me, if you want. I'll tell you all about it.
I kick myself for recommending this phone to my friends. I have 3 fellow Blackberry-owning friends, and they all hate me.
I am hooked on the mini-QWERTY. It's going to be hard to go back to my LG slider. I'm digging it out of my junk drawer tonight, and getting it reactivated.
Are you STILL thinking about getting a Blackberry? Do it, I dare you to not have these problems.
P.S. No, the fancy new 4.5 software does not fix this, it causes more problems. I tried it. Now my 'smartphone' is merely an expensive day-planner. Wait... no, it isn't even that. My calendar doesn't save any dates. The microphone and handset speaker doesn't work, so I can't call anybody. Telenav doesn't give audible prompts, it just shows you where you are, and can't tell you where to go. I wish I could tell somebody at RIM where to go. Of course, it would be hard to mozy in that direction with their heads shoved so far up their assas.

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!

New updates not installing on Pearl 8130

I have Pearl 8130 and when i open the destop software it looks for updates. It finds 3 updates but doesn't install them. How do i get it to either stop bringing up the same updates or install them?
The 3 are Crypto 1 Library, Crypto Application API Library, and Secure Email Library.

Then ignore it. I had to do the same with about three language updates for a few months that it kept asking me to update.
