It also happens when I get a text message. I have the BB Pearl 8100. Thanks for any thoughts Hi guys,

I can't even say if it actually played music because it was so slow to start (5-7 minutes) that I never actually tried to use it. (I also have a 4GB media card and maybe that was slowing it down too). I think it was also slowing down my laptop when I had the Desktop manager open. I deleted xplayer and do not recommend. Its disappointing because the Blackberry media player has such limited functionality. I downloaded xplayer 1.0.1 but it was slower than slow on my Blackberry Curve 8320.

I also do not know of a good MP3 player for 8700 devices. What happened to the phone in your OS upgrade. Also why do you need the Wap browser instead of the Internet Browser?

Although it does not have and expansion slot, it does have 40+ MB free storage. The graphics seem to be quite nice and the audio is not bad after I upgraded the OS to 4.2.x. I guess it depends on the bit rates of the media files as created. Also would like to add that I do have an issue with the OS upgrade. My browser does not work any more - the WAP browser seems fine for now. If I called for support and the browser worked, BUT I lost message notification such as vibrate and tone. So I opted for notifications over browser for now. A ticket should have been created with Rogers to look into it.

I thought I successfully loaded it, as the BB rebooted after installation. However, when I click on the icon, I get the following error message: Error starting xplayer: Symbol ‘ImageManager.init> ‘ not found. Waiting to hear a response, but doesn't look good as it does not even post to the Applications listing, under Settings-Advanced Options. Would stay clear of this application until things are fixed and the developer responds to this and other emails. I loaded xPlayer, V 0.97 Beta 5 application on my BB 8703c.
