nvm

I tried downloading the app for the color ball and I can't figure it out for the life of me... Im new to the the whole bb world.. please help I need step by step directions... thanks

Never mind I figured it out.. I took time to finally read all the posts.. lol

to bad we can't make it grey.

Ok I have looked through several pages, and I found similar problems as to what I am experiencing. I don't have the internet on my blackberry right now so I can't use the OTA install. I downloaded the zip files, extracted them into a folder so i have the .alx and .cod files. I plugged in my blackberry, opened my desktop manager, opened application loader. The colorpearl wasn't in the list already so i clicked add to add in the .alx file. when I hit add, it pops up the messages saying "no additional applications designed for your device were found".

Now I know others have had this problem but I can't seem to get around it. Does anyone know what I can do from here?

Ok so now its working....

tried like 8 times to get it to add to my app loader and all of a sudden it was already there when i opened it. lol

I LOVE THIS APP!!!

thanks metfan this is awesome green is my fave

Ok, realy noob here. I signed up cause you all seem really knowledgable and this site rox. If you would not mind, since I have had my BB for a day and half now, go into detail about how to install this progy. Thanks all. Great site.

Welcome to the forums...

Did you read through the thread? I have personally explained it a couple of times in this very thread.

lol, yes I did read it all but like I said, Im very much a noob here and really not familiar with the phone at all. I cant even figure out how to get to my music right away every time. I have to fool around with the phone a good bit and it finally comes up. There seems to be a million things you can do with these phones and I'd like to learn them. Thanks again for any and all info and patients. Lol, it took me 3 hrs to get the unlock code in this phone. If that gives you any idea how hard this stuff is for me.

Thanks for the app. This is a fun little program. Too bad I have no data plan, I'd like to get the autolock too. Any more progs coming???

Do you have a data plan?

no, I just have a reg calling plan.

I have a 2gig card tho, with music on it.

here is a site with all the hex codes for colors you will ever need

hey man im new to blackberry i have the pearl and the roxio desktop manager program installed on my comp. what do i do with the link you provided with this download, do i use the desktop zipped file or the other one and how do i get this on my phone? thanx in advance

n/m got it..... awesome app man

one question, is there a way to get it to light up the way it did before i had the application on it...

Downloaded the AutoLock program for the second time on a new Pearl and it is not working right. After the backlight goes off and I hit a key the phone should indicate that it is locked but it had an alert up saying that the program was trying to access the phone log and prompting me to give it access or not. I quickly deleted the program and tried it several days later with the same issue. Anybody else have this problem?

You have to give the program access to the phone app or it won't work. Don't worry, it's not sending your personal data to microsoft. It needs to access the phone application to know whether or not you're on the phone.

Okay well I reinstalled the program but I think I messed it up. I know what the program is supposed to do, I had it on my last Pearl but I never got the prompts on that phone that I am getting on my new Pearl which I guess is what confused me. Let me break it down.

1. First download, asks for access, I say no and delete program.

2. Second download, asks for access, I say no and check box not to ask me again. Get a new pop up that says " uncaught exception: net.rim.device.api.system.ControlldAccessException

3. Third download, no longer asks for access to phone log, only goes to the uncaught exception popup and doesn't lock the phone.

I guess I messed up by checking the box that said don't ask again. Any ideas on how to fix this so it will work, or am I SOL?

You need to reset the firewall prompts.

Go to Options >Advanced Options >Applications >Higlight the app in question and hit the menu key. Then select "Reset Firewall Prompts." Then try again and for any of the prompts that come up be sure and select "don't ask me again" and "allow all connections." If you say "do not allow" then the application will not work.

Tried to use the program on verizon pearl 8130 with no luck... is this going to be included in a future update?

I would PM Metsfan with that info. The 8130 has OS 4.3 and this app was created for OS 4.2. It makes sense that it wouldn't work. Is there an option in your phone options to make the track ball colors light up on an incoming phone call?

Not that I can find...

i just wanted to post to see how this thread goes - i would like to add this to my verizon 8130.

This app doesn't work in 4.3.

Does anyone know if the app will be updated to work on v4.3? I would really like to add it to my new 8130.

Any plans for this to work on 4.3? The new 8130 uses this.

thanks

I PM'd him asking...no reply. Probably busy w/other things.

It's possible that it will be rewritten at some point for 4.3 for the 8100, however, I've read here that the new 8130's don't have the colored LED's under the trackball so that would mean that this app will never work on the 8130's.

strange/ just saw one with a green trackball.

An 8130 from Verizon?

Hi everyone.
When I hit the OTR option, my pc asked if I wanted to find or save the application.
Is there not a link i can enter in the browser on my pearl that will allow me to get this OTR via the bb and not my pc.

You want to enter the OTA link in your BB Browser. It will install it directly to the device.

Will the colorpearl work on the new 8130 Pearl from Verizon?

Did you read just a few posts up in this thread? It doesn't work on the 8130.

I just figured it out. Great app.
Thx !!!!

i am new to owning the pearl and i am wondering do i download this program onto my computer and then put it on my pearl or should i get on this site with my pearl and download it? Is it hard to put a program from the computer onto the pearl?

Yes. Use your BB browser and use the OTA link at that site.
