BlackBerry smartphone Wi - fi troubleshooting

Hi, I'm having a hard time to connect via a Wifi network.

My network is configured properly, even the name of the network appears next to the name of my company "Rogers." The diagnostic wifi tool shows nothing wrong (the IP address is correct, signal strengh, etc..). But even if everything seems to find, the little "WiFi" icon still shows gray on the main screen and no network name then he, therefore not allowing me to use the wifi capabilities.

All the solutions for that?

Thank you

I actually found the solution to this problem. First of all, you must know that your phone is Setup must always use the strongest possible signal, which will most often be the network Mobile signal and not the WiFi one. In any case, even if the WiFi sign is always grey, it will work correctly. If the name of the network that you want to open a session appears next to the name of the carrier, in my case Rogers, then your OK. However, if you want to be sure to be on the WiFi network and not mobile network of your provider, you must ask him to block your phone to access DATA services. Otherwise, the phone could automatically power of one signal to another and you may be charged for her without even knowwing you use it!

I hope it's useful information!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Media Sync continues to display 'Please connect a Blackberry smart phone' when the Blackberry Storm is connected to the PC

    About a 2 months ago when I would like to connect my (the first storm) blackberry storm to my computer via the USB cable supplied with the phone, I was able to transfer music from my computer (itunes) to the blackberry via Blackberry Media Sync with no problems (open Blackberry Media Sync, connect blackberry to the computer via the USB port and screen Media Sync would change so that I could sync to the blackberry storm music). I didn't even have to install Blackberry Media Sync in December 2009

    But now after I connect my Blackberry Storm to my computer, the screen of Blackberry Media Sync does not change and continues to display "please connect a Blackberry smartphone. I tried these tips I found online:

    1.) several reboots my computer (windows vista)

    2.) update/reinstall Blackberry Media Sync, then by restarting my computer

    3.) reconnection from blackberry to the computer, then open Media Sync

    4.) Open Media Sync first and then connect the blackberry to the computer.

    5.) installation BlackBerry USB and Modem drivers (even if I can't find the USB driver for it under the Universal Serial Bus Controller when I check in the Device Manager when you go to control panel – system and Maintenance – Manager of devices, but I found a v2 COM4 and COM5 RIM virtual serial Port when you select "devices by connection" under display in Device Manager) or are RIM Serial Port virtual v2 COM4 and COM5 drivers I'm looking for?

    6.) go to Options (on blackberry) - memory and make sure Media Card Support, Media Transfer Protocol (MTO) and Mass Storage Mode Support are resolved on 'On', the encryption Mode is set to 'None' and mass storage Mode Auto activate when connected, it the value "Prompt" although I tried to 'Yes' as well. It says I have 785 MB of memory space of the unit out of 879 MB total memory of the device and 7.1 GB of free space on a total of 7.3 GB of Media Card Media Card.

    None of the above tips and troubleshooting tips worked. I also checked the Blackberry technical solution center but I've not found anything there that has contributed to the other. I found discussions forums online, including issues of people with 'blackberry media sync cannot connect to the device' pop up, but I have not had this pop-up. The Media Sync screen remains just the same as if I never connected the blackberry storm to my computer in the first place even if my blackberry storm recharges via the computer.

    Is there something that I miss or have not yet done? What should I do?

    Too bad. I went to a Verizon store and they me remove the battery and turn the blackberry. Worked like a charm and I can now use Media Sync.

    Also told me that I need to update the software of the phone blackberry using Blackberry Desktop software (I have version 4 and need to update to 5) and make sure to choose to back up files when you are prompted during the update or you will lose all files, the media and info saved on blackberry.

    Hello

    FYI - Your indignation is misplaced. This site has nothing to do with any formal support. On the contrary, this site is a community of users to volunteers who do their best, while also living their own lives occupied, to troubleshoot other kind souls to the best of their ability. There is no requirement for all voluntary meet any position whether... everything is voluntary, which is given to you by the goodness of their hearts. All they ever receive in return is gratitude... so unworthy of these volunteers can be a bit off-putting, I think.

    In any case you say you reboot and for a while, things are OK, but then the problem shows once again. Which could be a few different things... a bad OS... a bad app behave... maybe same material (although I doubt that your description so far).

    Have you checked for an OS updated for your BB? Since you said only 7.1 (OS levels have 4 bytes, not 2) and later does not reveal your carrier, there is no way to help you... but you can help you in this regard:

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not connect BlackBerry Pearl 9105 for PC

    Hello world

    In addition, the PC does not recognize my smartphone as a usb device. Updated BlackBerry Desktop Software and the purchase of the new Micro-USB cable did not help.

    In addition, make sure you use only the root USB ports... without hubs (sometimes the front-end ports are hubs... use a rear USB port). And don't forget to try to disable the USB power management in the configuration of your system (Device Manager).

    only the low volume button works in mode 'browser '. This means that I have no sound when watching

    videos. Help, please. High volume AND low volume both work actually, but it's only because once every a way down

    stuck mute. I have no spell mute me (in browser mode).

    Hello

    I'm sorry to hear the verdict. Do you know how or what criterion of CSR ran to diagnose water damage? Your moisture indicator strips have been discolored?

    Here are some links to help run diagnostics. Sound problems can be caused by corrupt software and memory low conditions as well.

    It's a shame that (after doing a full backup successful with Desktop Manager) that you don't accidentally lose or drop it repeatedly on a marble for example floor. Or find it in the driveway accidentally hit by the car after a cataclysmic weather random event. I know most owners insurance contain provisions that can cover or help with the costs of replacement.

  • Update blackBerry Smartphones / Device Manager issue

    Hey guys, I have a problem.

    I recently acquired a Blackberry 8330 and let me start by saying this: it's one of the best machines I've ever held. It is simply amazing.

    I installed the Device Manager and have been using it without any problem. Then, I went and did an update wireless with my phone, the upgrade of the OS. Since I did this, however, the Manager has recently stopped recognizing my device - my computer recognizes him again, as he charges when it is plugged in and I can always access to the hard drive, but for some reason, I cannot use the Device Manager to do anything - down, States in the Device Manager there is no trendy Black Berry as shown by the 'None' exposed next to the Pin number.

    What can I do? I really need to access blackberry via the Device Manager. Someone, please help > _

    Things I've tried:

    -Restart the Blackberry (both by pressing the red button and pull the battery and re insert)

    -Update the device to the more recent version Manager

    -The latest version is uninstalled, then download and install the version provided with the blackberry (4.2)

    I noticed that the CD that came with the device itself does not contain the most recent edition of the Device Manager, if that means anything. It's just weird that the Device Manager has stopped working after I upgraded. Currently, my OS is V4.5.0.175. I've recently updated both my 8310 Black Berry - same question parents. Before, I could access it via Device Manager. Now, I can't. Please help me!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can not access Media card with BB Desktop or Media Sync 9700

    The other day I received a Reburbed Bold 9700 update.

    I use Ver 6 Deskstop OS and the 9700 is running device code latest version 5.

    I have a Kingston 4 GB media card that I know is in place because the 9700 recognizes it and when I go to files and select the media card, I can see all the files on the card and when I take a picture it is written on the card so I know that memory is very good and he sees the 9700.

    The problem I have is BB Deskstop or latest version of Media Sync to see so I can transfer files to and from my PC and the media card.

    The error message that I receive on the two applications, it's that I have to turn on mass storage Mode.  When I look at my memory settings:

    Compression - enabled

    Map of media Support - on

    Mass Storage Mode Support - on

    Auto enable mass storage Mode when connected - Yes

    I formatted the card successfully on the BB.

    I tried another card memory (2 GB) and also properly formatted as well.

    I also tried another USB cable into another USB port.

    I had a BB hard reset by pulling on the battery... several times.

    I had another before Blackberrys and have never had a problem of access to the media card.  I would have thought that it is easier on the 9700.

    I did search endlessly on the Web and saw other people with similar problems but many were so simple that the card is not seated properly and it also had the symptom that the BB is not recognizing the media card.  My BB recognize media cards and use them, but I can't access the card through my PC.  I understand that I may not see a pendrive pop up in Windows Explorer, but I can't understand why the BB Desktop or Media Sync cannot access.

    I know that both of these applications communicate to the BB cause I get requests for passwords and the desktop, I can view all my applications and I used to update the device until the last OS level during the troubleshooting process.

    I just wanted to see if anyone has experience this problem and has tips, if not I will contact AT & T or go into a local store to see if they can help.  I just think I'm missing something that I can take care off instead of my own.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the device on another computer?  If another computer to recognize the device, it may just be a case of bad USB drivers on your computer.

    Here are some KB articles that may be able to help:

    KB19717 - BlackBerry smartphone is not detected as a USB mass storage device when connected to a computer

    KB10312 - impossible to display the map of support using the BlackBerry smartphone

    You also need to remove the USB ports on your computer (using Device Manager), and then restart the computer to reload the correct drivers.

    An alternative to this is to simply use a microSD card reader which allows you to use the microSD as a flash drive.

    I hope that this info is another starting point for you!
