I have a blackberry pearl flip phone and when you change the settings for the ringer to vibrate or silent it does this action just fine. However, when you set it back to my advanced settings or the basic ringer itself, the phone displays that the action was successful but it stays stuck on vibrate or silent. The only way to get it working again is to pull the battery and reset it..... what the @#*%?

By retrieve do you mean you have already recevied them and they are no longer visible to you?! If so check the following.

You may have already tried some of these options, but for the sake of completeness.

Check your icons are not hidden. From desktop/ Options/ Show All.

The MMS Data - MultiMedia Messages may be stored along with
your Text messages - check this folder.

Check all your Media folders - including My Pictures and Preloaded.

Failing all of the above - Check MMS in Options and MMS and do the same for Media Card.

If you connect your Blackberry to your PC you will be able to see all stored files and their location..

If you are not able to receive them in the first instance - You will need to enable yout Blackberry to receive them by MMS in Options and checking this option in addition your Network Provider will need to send you settings to store.

SOURCE: blackberry flip pearl constantly reboots.

I've had the same problem, particularly after upgrading the OS. I've been able to keep it reboot free for 24 hours after resending the service books from the bberry portal (and I'm even using it unlocked from T-Mobile on AT&T).
