BlackBerry smartphone WI - FI (help me!)

So I connect to the WiFi at home (I have Internet on my phone anyway, but to make it go faster I use wifi) and I have no idea if for example I go youtube is taking the data off my contract OR wifi? I don't want a bill of data coming at the end of the month when I download things or listen to music online does it disable the data off my contract is unlimited because I am connected to wifi?
Thank you

As long as your WiFi symbol on the unit is white (and not greyed out), you're connected via WiFi, which means that all of your data should essentially be go to your WiFi network (and so you won't be getting charged for the latter). There are a few applications that may require access to the data network, but things like the browser, YouTube, Twitter, streaming music, etc., should all work perfectly on WiFi without using your monthly data allowance.

I hope this info helps!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    You said "hard reset", but I can't tell if you did exaclty or not... Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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 - about 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.

    In addition, you could try to start in safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode

    and delete the most recent thing (s) you have installed just before this problem started.

    After that, it's an OS Reload try... but we're going to stay on it for the moment.

    Good luck!
    Best!

    It comes from occurring as you face constraints of memory in your device. The low memory manager (LMM) is activated automatically when the flash available on the BlackBerry smartphone memory decreases less than 400 KB. Flash memory is used to store such as Messages, calendar, Contacts, tasks, Notepad BlackBerry smartphone applications and third-party applications.

    Perform the following steps-

    1. Give a soft reset by removing the battery for 30 sec.
    2. Check the amount of memory is free in your device to Options -> status -> free memory. To view all aspects of database go to Option -> status -> click on the Menu button and then select the database size
    3. Remove the less frequently used application. To remove go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Applications -> highlight the application you want to delete-> click Menu , and then select Remove
    4. If you stored your image in the memory of the device to move them to your media card

    Hi guru,.
    Thank you for the answer. I followed the entire process, but none the case on all the links there is an option to send the password to reset BlackBerry ID to an external address is e-mail that is for example:-gmail account. I really need some request you please explain myself better.

    I think that you read correctly... re-read the Workaround"" section. He said nothing to do anything to your GMail account instead, you must follow the instructions, log into your BIS account (from a PC or your BB... it will be much easier to use a PC well) and activate the automatic redirection of your @bb to your Gmail account. Then return the password reset email, access your GMail account, and you should receive the email to reset it in order to finally use it to solve your problems.

    Please follow exactly the instructions and if you don't follow some sections, he cites exactly with what exactly you did and what exactly doesn't work correctly (point by point, please, with all the details). I can't explain that any better unless you are specific about exactly where/how you're stuck.

    Good luck!

    up to a few days a go, I was able to surf the web and send/receive surveys bbm so I was on the phone, I contacted blackberry and they said to contact my service provider, so I did it and then we me contact blackberry once again, so I don't have all the answers. There is nothing wrong with my phone while I'm not in a call, but it's a nice feature to receive surveys bbm so I was in a call, I reset my whole phone and I'm still not having any luck can someone help me please?

    3G or WiFi is the only service on this device which will allow the data at the same time as a phone call.  There's no other way.

    At this point, you have to reconnect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software to get anywhere with your phone.  Take a look at this article from RIM:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Desktop Software - HELP! It syncs more

    After updating the software of office about a month ago I am more able to synchronize Organizer data. It worked wonderfully well before this, but I can't seem to find a link or site for the previous version of the software download. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the new software without success. I have reset the settings several times but without success. I connect the phone (torch 9860) to the computer and open the software. I put it on auto-sync and synchronize dialog box appears for a split second, then disappears. At this point, there has been no synchronization. I then click on the "sync button" bottom right of the screen and the Synchronization dialog box.

    Photos & video can be synchronized but not data. I left it like that for hours but nothing happens. The only way I can close it is CTRL + ALT + DELETE and close it through Task Manager.

    I'm doing something wrong? Can anyone help? It's bugged the hell out of me as it was working perfectly before. Is this the right place to ask this question because I'm having no luck elsewhere.

    Bravo!

  • BlackBerry smartphones really need HELP! Would have someone seen this problem of e-mail...

    There are two of us at work using a 8830WE of Blackberry on the network of Telus Mobility with Shaw Cable as our ISP. We use Desktop Manager 4.6 and our device OS 4.2.2.176.

    We are the '' ONLY '' BB users in the office and the question that we are expereincing affects only the two of us, so I assume that it is something to do with our BB, or maybe the service BIS (we have no MS Exchange or BES).

    Most of the time we use MS Outlook to send the e-mail from our PC instead of using the small keyboard of BB. It said that the below occurs regardless of what device we use for email.

    When we generate and send a new e-mail the recipients planned get, however, if they do, that we do not receive their response.

    And is the same in the other direction... when someone send us a new email, we receive, but when they do not receive our response, we answer.

    I deleted service CMIME book, waited, then cancelled - it does not work.

    I have not changed any MS Outlook, BIS or device settings - at least I don't remember changing anything whatsoever.

    Help, please. This has happened for two to three weeks. We missed several important answers.

    Thank you

    I would like to connect to your BIS site delete and recreate email accounts.

    Then select send service directories. You will get the email of activation for all e-mail accounts.

    No data will be lost when you do the following: remove the battery while the device is activated. Remplacer replace after one minute, let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is corrected, thanks

  • BlackBerry smartphones I need help!

    OK, I rebooted my machine and this message.

    Error 102

    Reloading software

    For more information, please visit: www.blackberry.com/102

    reset

    then we're back to zero and the same message appears, I went to the page and I downloaded the software and it says: once your device is pluged into the computer it will say: conect to device cant, updated

    but he wont even say, it can not conect.

    can anyone help me or I have to find a RIM Office and go for help?

    It's a new bold 9900 if that helps anything.

    This is a procedure blindly; Sometimes it will hit it off on the first attempt and other times it will take several attempts.  The only advice I can give you is to try again.  If it still does not respond, disconnect your phone, plug it back again try until it is recognized by the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

    I hope that helps you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Newbie needs help setting up email

    Hello world

    I've been the proud owner of a "BOLD" for about 48 hours now. This is my first Blackberry, so please bear with me.

    I need to set up my Yahoo email. I remember setting up front, but I deleted it as my allowance for the use of network (3 Australia) showed 2 MB roaming allowance, of which half was used in one day.

    I think that the e-mail message has been implemented via a browser page, but I can't go back to this page. The e-mail setup wizard seems to be to the establishment through BES which I did not. Does anyone know the address of the page?

    I also remember, when I chose the browser (not of Planet 3) I was taken in a BB page that showed several options of setting up various things. There were about 5 or 6 boxes grey listed above the other? Anyone also know the address of the page for this?

    Thanks for any help,

    Paul

    You also see a personal Email Setup on the device icon? If not try going into the Options | Advanced options | The host routing table. In this screen press press the button menu and choose to register now. See if you receive a message from check delivered to your device. Subsequently, reset the unit by removing the battery for 30 seconds. See if you have this icon now after restarting the device. If you still don't you can try setting up the account again on your carrier's Web site BIS to add return e-mail accounts?

    What options do you remember on this Web site? Try to go to mobile.blackberry.com on your browser and see if it's the page.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones have NEED HELP ASAP

    When I put my blackberry on the mass storage mode. A pop up on my blackberry according to ECEPTION EXCEPTION: JAVA. LANG. NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION... What does that mean? and how can I fix that so I can put music on my phone.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Whenever this kind of mistake happens, the best thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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 - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, this one suffers memory leaks and other... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    As for what the error means, well, it means that some events were held for which there is no stage of the program to deal with - as a result, an untrapped exception. It of kind of a 'out' final in programming code and says that something is inconsistent with the device with this hard restart being the best advice to fix (at least temporarily).

    Hope that helps!
