BlackBerry smartphone how to use Wifi only?

How can I make my Blackbery Bold 9700 always use Wifi for data transfer?

I set my Connection settings to 2G only with data transfer out.

Wifi is completely set up.

When I try to open the internet browser, I receive a cannot connect message.

Wifi shows in green on the overview of the connection, but does not give the symbol "v" green on the right.

When I turn on the transfer of data in the configuration of the internet works fine, but I get a huge bill at the end of the month for data usage via my mobile connection.

Please help me get my properly configured Wifi use.

1. put your data Services on IT, otherwise, you get no data, including Wifi data.

2. If your WiFi is turned on and connected to your WiFi router, data will ALWAYS prefer and use WiFi, not your mobile wireless network connection.

You can make sure it's WiFi only, by going to your connections management screen and turn off the Mobile network, and leaving the active WiFi.

    Please re-read my answer above... it's automatic, there is nothing you can do to force it. And certainly no way that would be specific website URL.

    Hey gunasilanm,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Thanks for the question.

    Data services must be enabled to use the Wi - Fi® network. I suggest to turn off the Mobile network, if you do not want to use the data from the mobile phone network.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    See you soon.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to use BB SmartViewer

    I downloaded the SmartViewer e-mail utility for my BB Curve 8330.  However, my emails are always in the form of text and looks like the same Viewer.  I can't find any option of configuration or the icon that tells my BB using SmartViewer instead.  What Miss me?  If it's important, I downloaded the TRIAL version of my Verizon home page link on my BB directly.

    The "Application key" can also be called the key "Menu". Not sure about this one. It is the one with 7 points.

    Maybe there was a problem with the installation. Have you looked in the Applications to see if installed SmartView?

    1. how to restore the Mail app?

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot-~ 5 minutes...
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.

    I want to give my daughter an old Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8530 to use as a device with wifi, gmail/cat-only.  It is not active with Verizon (meaning that it has long - since been disabled and is not a phone number that are associated with him).

    I have trouble getting the job data.  I joined the wifi network but I can not open a Web page or gmail.  I played with all the settings of network, but found no solution.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I can't say what OS you're on, but if I remember correctly the last OS for this model was the one where there was no possibility to make it work on WiFi only. These levels of devices/OS required an active subscription from a company to a data plan BB in order to use all services, even via WiFi only.

    I know that's what you were eager to learn, but it is what it is.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones to remove permanent Wifi browser - how?

    I haven't bought a 9700 ROGERS no contract to replace my phone to work. The policy of the company, is that none of the mobile devices cannot have any method of navigation interenet. The 9700 will not network go, unless you have a blackberry data plan and I have nothing but personal messaging plan which works well. The problem I have is that the wifi browser still works and even when I remove the wifi browser in the service books, it is just when I do a battery pull. How can I permanently get rid of the wifi browser without being connected to a BES? (the company doesn't have a BES) - hide the icon isn't enough...

    Thank you J Sanders. Sounds like something that will work. Forgive my ignorance, but where can I find version 5.0.0 for my 9700? -When I search the Blackberry site and enter my PIN (a ROGERS device) they do not show a BONE available for the 9700 yet...   I can't get the unit off I can? I really think what I need to know how to "install your current OS on your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer?  Thanks for your help, otherwise I can't use this unit that I paid $600 for

    Before you start:
    Install your current OS on your smart phone BlackBerry to your PC.

    1. on the PC, go to C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\ResearchInMotion\Share d\LoaderFiles\OS version\Java.
    Create a new folder and name it deleted.

    2A c:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\ResearchInMotion\Share d\LoaderFiles\OS version\Java

    Find the .cod named net_rim_bb_browser_dameon and move it to your new folder cod.

    3. plug the device and on your PC, open the Desktop Managver > AppLoader > Add/Remove programs and work your way through the process to remove the net_rim_bb_browser_dameon module. You won't notice any changes until after you see the screen of the Application loader, don't click on the boxes, click Next, then finish. ONLY you will see it after clicking Finish a quick notice that the module browser_daemon is deleted.

    Close DM at the end leave your device restart.

    After a reboot, you can get a java error at startup. Ignore it.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can I use 'Cards' with WiFi (in Europe) without incurring data charges?

    Hertz offers a mobile WiFi with a rental vehicle, and I wonder if I can use 'Maps' through this system?  I should ensure that network connections are turned off?  Appreciate any expertise on this one.

    You will experience free of charge as long as you are on free wifi at all times. When I was in europe, my 'data roaming' option has been set off. I wouldn't use all data unless I was connected to a hotspot wifi somewhere, which are very common in Europe.

    To trigger data roaming services, open up your settings. Go to network connections > Mobile network. You can activate or deactivate your mobile network disabled if you do not use your phone while that in Europe or left running up to you, but for data, use the drop-down list option and set it to the off position. In this way it will not use data on any mobile network and so only when using WiFi.

    Your questions can probably be related to the same thing... the absence of a BB data plan appropriate to your mobile service provider. Installation of certain levels of OS request subscription to a plan... the advice that is given above allows you to bypass this restriction. Many owners BB services require subscription to a data plan appropriate... that are missing, you may not use these services, even if via WiFi only. A BB without a good data plan BIS-level is a device very difficult indeed.

    Good luck!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.
