Hey Everybody,
(I posted this in the wrong place, so I am re-posting it here.)
I am a nubbie
, so be gentle. I have owned the BB pearl 8130 for almost a year now, and it's the biggest pile I have ever owned. That's for another day! Hopefully, someone here can help me, as my local Alltel service provider has horrible support. And if you ever have to go into the main store located here, all the employees huddle around each other and act like a high school clique of snobby wanna-be's!
Any how, this is what my 8130 is doing NOW: I tried to call someone and it advised me that the "radio" was off. I followed the on-screen instructions and it turned the radio on and made the call. But now, I have to go into the "Manage Connections" app and manually turn the radio on every time I make a call or try and text someone. I am lucky if it stays on for more than a minute and then it justs cuts the call off and says radio off!
Then it's back to the Manage connections app and repeat! This is becoming very frustrating!
Have any of you had this problem? Radio shuts off constantly, making you have to go into the connection app and turn it back on.................................
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Looks looks like a very smart group on this board. Maybe you can get me to change my opinion of this piece of garbage! My first "smart" phone, and I am beginning to think that "smart phone" is just an oxymoron!12-13-08 11:02 PM - Thanks for the rapid response Zero!
Yea, I have checked the auto on/off and
know the battery pull fix well! I have
had to pull the battery at least every other
day for 4 months now.
I thought I'd try out this forum,
before I look for a better phone on eBay.
I hate buying another phone, when your
cell provider should be able to help you!
This is a "known"issue with these phones!
I have been a customer of Alltel for over 10
years and upon signing this last contract,
they have treated us like CACA! Very poor
customer service! I am going to have to switch
carriers after this contract is up!
Thanks, again, for the speedy response!
Much appreciated!
12-14-08 09:47 AM - I am also having this problem, i have done the battery pull, i have updated the OS and it is still doing it, it turns off almost as soon as i turn it on
