BB Pearl 8100 :: 8110 Passwords No Longer Multitap
Jul 6, 2010
All of my password fields on my Pearl 8110 (apps, web, device password) used to use the multitap input method, even though the device was set to Suretype. Now they are all Suretype and I can't seem to find a way to change it without changing the overall device setting to multitap, which I don't want for most typing.
I have inherited an 8110 which so far I am very happy with. apart from one small thing. The clock doesn't show the correct time. It does not update minute by minute as a 'normal' timepiece would. If I go into the settings for alarm or date/time then exit the clock is updated. but it will not update again until I do this again.This morning when I woke up for work it was showing 10.50pm last night.
I have a Pearl 8100. Something happened that all my Contacts are no longer in my address book, but show up when someone calls on the caller ID. So I cant get anyones number out of my phone unless they call me.
Basically, i found a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 O2 on the street yesterday. I know this might upset some people, but im going to keep it. Because i need a new phone! Now how should i go on about this? will it work with just inserting my SIM ?
Can anyone tell me if the Blackberry Desktop 6.0 properly supports synchronization between Outlook 2010 32-bit and a Pearl 8100 with device software v4.5.0.102 (Platform 2.7.0.85)?I first did a one-way sync from Outlook to my device (replacing all device data). That worked fine. However, using Calendar as an example, the next sync tried to delete all calendar entries from some point in 2009 and prior. It also identified changes to entries that were not changed at all!Sync'ing Task, Memos and Contacts yielded the same problem where items were identified as being changed when they were not.When trying different sequences of synchronization including doing a reset on my Pearl before resync'ing, I get different and inconsistent results.The Blackberry site says I have the latest version of device software, so...
I just get the run-a-round at Verizon..I had a Pearl and loved it for texting, but never used the web on it.Seemed like a waste of money for the data plan.Back to a old phone but would love to have the pearl back without the data plan.Is this possible? I still have the pearl, just wishing I could use it for calls and texting.
I just got my hands on an old Blackberry 8100 (OS4.2.1.96)Sadly, I'm almost certain that this phone won't be able to run 5, but while I was in high school this was my favorite phone and I recently just received one..for free. The phone's trackball doesnt work(clicking the trackball scrolls up), and the volume up doesn't work either. I'm not really going to use the phone as cellular device, but I would rather just have it on my desk as a souvenir...in working condition as a backup.So I've decided to buy a new housing for it, probably fixing the trackball problem, and then this is where I'm not sure. Would the new housing fix the volume bar problem also? Or would I have to actual replace parts on the phone?
I am having a problem to upgrade the device software of my daughter Pearl 8100 from v4.2 to 4.5. The BB update web site does not recognize that is a new version of the device software available.
I am trying to pair my ipad2 with my Blackberry Pearl 8110 and get the message "Blackberry 8110 is not supported"however, my ipad2 can find my Blackberry and indeed shows it on the ipad but when trying to get bluetooth connection it fails to connect.
is there is blackberry file phone explorer out there so that you can check all files/folders on your phone from your computer? not jsut talking about seeing the stuff on your micro sd.. but the system files and such.. i thought there was one but might have been mistaken.
For some reason I can not copy the contents of my SIM phone book to the "Contacts" phone book. I go through the steps listed and it looks like the contents are being coppied but when I go to the Contacts list it shows no contents. I do not know if I did something wrong or the firm ware has gone south. I have taken the battery out and then replaced it trying to restore it to factory setting but that did not seem to work. I am running V4.5.0.182
I would like to purchase and download the new instaphoto application for a blackberry pearl 8110 but i do not have mobile internet at the moment. & when I tried to purchase it it required for me to have the radio on but like I said, there's no internet. Is there a way i can still purchase/download the app and import it to my bb using the blackberry desktop manager/software?
1. In the phone application, press the Menu key. 2. Click Options. 3. Click General Options. 4. Change the Default Call Volume field. 5. Press the Menu key. 6. Click Save.
Step 1 no prob Step 2, there is no Options to "Click" Had to Click "Setting" then Click "Options" Step 3, couldn't find "General Options" option!
There is an icon on the right hand side of my screen directly below my battery symbol.it is a circle, with a glowing line going through it from top right to bottom left.I have no idea where this icon came from and what it means, OR how to get rid of it! Anybody?
When I have a missed call, the LED flashes red and the only way I can turn it off is to turn my BB off and on again. Is there some other way to accomplish this?
Just last night the radio/towers on my phone turned off. I turn them back on or just make a call to restore the connection but they turn off in about 10 seconds.I found this post below: radio keeps turning itself off which describes a similar issue. There hadn't been any posts on it since last year so I didn't know if there was any updates on the issue or if it still signified that it was a hardware issue with the phone.
Is it possible to remove the default RIM themes from the 8110 as I no longer use them as I prefer using the 3rd party themes on here that use the OS 5 style Icons, and would like to free up memory by removing as much of the OS that I don't use?
Why are my messages deleting theirselves? Last week I had all my messages from that whole week and now this week it only keeps maybe two days and they start disappearing.
How do you activate speaker phone? I read on yahoo answers that it's just the P key but when I press that it asks me if I want to add . to speed dial. Please help
I am sure this is something very basic, however an icon of my browser has started showing on my hone screen, with a '1' in front of it. Exactly as if I had a bbm message except a browser, not a smiley face.
I bought a blackberry 8110 from ebay, everything with the phone looks ok but it cuts off and reloads during calls. I updated the software from version 4.2 to 4.5, but the problem wasn't solved. Now I'm thinking its the battery but I need your opinion before I buy another battery.
I bought a Blackberry Pearl recently. When i text message i press the "shift key" to turn the letter im typing into a capital. But i noticed, or can't find a way to keep my letters constantly in Capital.
For example, if i want to type, "I WANT ALL MY LETTERS CAPITAL!" i seem to have to press the "shift key" button for each individual letter! is there any way around this, where i could press some "shift something key" to where my typing remains in CAPITAL until i repress this "shift something key"??
I was playing around wiht my 8120 pearl and the security option password on it. I went over the 10times limit and it erased my phone and went back to factory settings.
Does anyone konw how to get all my contact and previous info... and i know, i should of backed it up on my comp, but i didn't.
Whenever I open ANY email, it gives me a message saying "More available". I have to choose the "More" or "More all" option from the menu key in order to get my email text. The option of "Auto more" in General settings is turned ON. What is the fix to this issue? It never used to happen, then all of a sudden it's there.
had this phone since october, no problems. but today i went to my messages and my trackball wont scroll up. it does move down,left and right though. i've done battery pulls, removed the ball and put back in, everything. nothing works.. is it covered under warranty? i bought it october 2009..
