- Hello,
Recently I've upgraded my pearl 8100 for from original OS 4.2 to 4.5.0.99. It works fine but there is a serious problem now. Every two hours the device connects to the internet. I don't know how, don't know what does it doing. Just return from an international trip and got extra $80 charge for the roaming data but didn't used it no single time, checked my recent usage today, same thing - every two hours is data connection.
GPS is turned off, google apps closed, AIM+ turned off, no other applications are installed. T-mobile c/s didn't help. Please help me to find what's go on?

- I am pretty sure that it has absolutely nothing to do with the OS upgrade. An OS won't make your phone roam internationally, and connect to the network. The only way to ensure that you do not receive international roaming charges is to eliminate the network connection.03-17-11 08:42 AMLike 0

Then, my only other cost was if I took or made a call.03-17-11 09:45 AMLike 0 -

- BIS Google sync happens with or without being open. IM+ will update if the connection is minimized but not if closed.03-20-11 02:52 PMLike 0
- Built into the Blackberry. Press and hold the menu button for about half a second. This will pop up a ribbon listing what is running. Messages, Browser, Home Screen, Blackberry Messenger and Phone will be listed, these can not be turned off. Anything else needs to be closed.Bren S. likes this.03-20-11 05:34 PMLike 1
- I would give your carrier 1 more try and ask to speak with a supervisor. Sometimes they will work with you on charges like this. The problem is, that THEY have to pay, no matter what so they will want something from you, BUT they might be willing to split it with you. Verizon will often do this, for this type of issue.03-21-11 08:34 PMLike 0
- Not that it helps now, but one thing to do is make sure "data while roaming" is disabled. You can enable it as needed, but it will keep your BB from connecting while out of the country. You can still receive calls and use wifi when set this way. It just keeps your BB from using the wireless data.03-21-11 10:32 PMLike 0
