• BlackBerry Smartphones, wifi and mobile network Q

  If I turn on my wifi at home & sign in, & at the same time, let Mobile network on... fresh data which of them will be run out of?  The Mobile network will win or share or just use wifi?

  Also I was wondering because I wonder if light work wifi when I'm at work, save my data & pass their lol

  TIA!

  Hello

  In general, BBs "prefer" WiFi network of business for services BIS data. You can always check inside the connection management > State of Services, which BIS route is average.

  But you should also check inside the apps... many 3rd party applications have configuration items, inside the application, allowing you to order the application to use a data compared to another channel. What I always do is run my apps use BIS... in this way, they will follow along as BIS shifts between WiFi and my network of business data. But, if (for example) you configure an application to use only your corporate data network, while the app can avoid past well after BIS BIS to WiFi, and this app may well continue to consume data out of your network connection data carrier, even if BIS moved to WiFi.

  With older OS levels, you had no choice, but to leave the "Data Services" set on "on" any channel to use, which often caused the situation described above (BIS on WiFi, but some consumption of carrier data app)... disabling the Services of data, these levels of older OS, BIS-level data for all channels off including WiFi. With the later levels of the operating system (somewhere in the OS7 range, I remember well), you can actually turn off the parameter Data Services and wireless leash... that allows BIS to still work on WiFi, but prevents any application using the data carrier network regardless of how the application is configured.

  But... I'm curious... you may have about the features that only work on SmartPhones BB, yet your profile on this site says you have only a PlayBook, in which case none of this applies since the PB has no radio has WiFi and mobile only. But, you posted this in the "BOLD" of this site section, so you could guess assumes that you have a "BOLD" in addition to your PB...

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphone Wifi and Email Setup

  Hi all

  I recently bought a unlocked BB Bold 9000 in the United States.  I am currently in Hong Kong where I use a local SIM card for my phone.

  During the initial installation, I came across two issues:

  1 email to "create or add an email address" option was not available, and

  2. Wifi: It's what's really irking me.  WiFi means I should be able to connect to any hotspot, the free space, the network that I have access, regardless of my plan, correct?  I feel I have tried everything, but when I go to the browser, he repeats to me "you are not currently in an area that can handle the communication of data, therefore, the browser may not retrieve all of the web pages".

  I'm really frustrated by the wifi configuration, so if someone could help me, I would appreciate it.  My friends with IPhones and the basic sim cards browse far and I have purposely NOT buy an iphone.  Hope we can prove them wrong.  Thank you!

  To create an e-mail account on the device you need of blackberry data plan from your carrier? you have a?

  The wifi browser, go to menu, options, advanced options, browser, change the default browser for wifi browser.

• BlackBerry Smartphone Wifi and data plan

  I can't use my wifi when my data plan is turned off so that means if I was abroad and he wanted to use my wifi I have to turn on the data plan and I then will charge even if the wifi is free?

  I talked to my SP and they said that I get charged if I used my data abroad plan.

  If anyone can confirm here that you can not use wifi if no data plan?

  I'm following you better now, thank you.

  How do they say that I use my data service if my sim card is not in the phone

  You do not use the data service IF even the SIM card is removed.

  For example, I have a Bold 9000 sitting here with me with no SIM in there either. If I turn off data services, WiFi browser does not work. If turn ON data services, WiFi, browser will work. This "BOLD" PIN is saved with ANY carrier. No data of the carrier service is used.

• BlackBerry Smartphone WiFi and Email Services

  Hello world.

  I got my new Blackberry 8520 Curve unlocked yesterday, pay-as-you-go.

  While I am able to connect to the internet via my router, can someone please tell me how to connect via the Services of Blackberry, as obviously connect to my router is not very useful abroad.

  Inanticipation thanks for your help

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  First of all, you must check with your service provider and to ensure that your account includes access to their Services for Internet BlackBerry (BIS)... If not, there will be no way to use these services. Quite often, the distribution accounts do not include this.

  Good luck and let us know!

• Setup of blackBerry Smartphone email and BBM number on 9780

  Hi all

  Recently, I noticed that my bbm "n" shortcut did not, all the other shortcuts like memo, calculator, etc. have been working well. I cross checked the "n" key on the message, e-mail etc., which works very well. It was obvious that the key is fine, probably thinking of the device is in need of an upgrade of the OS, I upgraded to 6.0.0.706 to the download site for the India BB software. Since then he has screwed my application of messaging and bbm on the device configuration. The problem started after I configured my device after the upgrade of the OS, without doing something fancy. Now, I am unable to work my e-mail installation or bbm.

  The trickiest part, the E-mail setup application:

  When I work through installation and choose the email Setup icon, ideally it should give me two options. 1. business account and 2.  Internet e-mail account.

  After the upgrade the email set up gives me settings to choose from business accounts, where the option of Internet e-mail account? After a thorough and exhausting, research in the community, I heard people talking about relocation of the configuration of the e-mail application. Done that but still no go. So now, I can't add my e-mail address, ' coz there is no option or how to configure it.

  For bbm:

  I have a return to the top of my contacts, which I've tried to run over and over again, but it brings back me to the original configuration and asks me to enter the display name. Now restore backup should restore my profile/contacts, but it doesn't. On a positive note, my shortcut for bbm works!

  I would also like to bring to your notice that I have a bis plan on my device, active, but after upgrading my app world or native applications do not work on bis but wifi. Strange! Now the question is why would the upgrade of a simple bone cause me so many problems. I upgraded my phone several times since I bought it. This is driving me crazy and crazy, this phone has an excellent reputation and does not mean I am a bit disappointed by his performance or his now making me hurt.

  Please help, I don't want to empty this phone!

  Hello abhijit17

  Well... How updated the OS using desktop software or OTA, OS update should not ask this question.

• Contacts blackBerry Smartphones Nokia and Motorola conversion in Blackberry contacts

  I got a deal of my new carrier for two new BlackBerry for the price of a more expensive. So I got a 9700 "BOLD", then my wife receives a Pearl 9100. Now, previously, we used two different phones, she was using a Nokia 3500C (GSM), while I was using a Motorola KRZR K1M CDMA (). I tried port both of our lists of contacts from phone above.

  First, I tried to copy the contacts to my wife in the Nokia SIM card. I then put the SIM card in its new BB, and it would not read the SIM card. I guess that's because BB is locked to a specific carrier. My carrier unlock our phones until we've been with them 3 months, that use me at the moment.

  Then I simply imported contacts into our PC with Nokia Software and then saved your contacts file to *. CSV format. I also did the same thing on my Motorola, with the Motorola software and also recorded one *. CSV file. When I tried to read the two contacts in the Blackberry Desktop Manager, he returned with an error:

  Error has occurred. Error code: 0 x 80040057.

  See the documentation.

  I think it has something to do with some of the fields that exist in a phone but not the other. I would have thought that their Intellisync software would know how to take care of this? It's the exact message even if I don't speak of contacts from the old phone to Motorola or the old Nokia phone.

  Same thing when I try to import the calendar entries too.

  This KB, provides a sample CSV (bottom of the KB, a link)... This might be useful in your quest.

• BlackBerry Smartphones emails and Messages of mixture that can be resolved?

  Is there a way to stop my e-mails and messages in the mixture it is very annoying to have to remove twice. I also need help on how to download ringtones I did what the book said to do but without success, I also tried to connect it to my computer, someone please help!

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with my little problem.

  Did you mean that your emails and text messages are coming in the same folder? If so then try the following-

  Separate messages-> Options-> General Options-> E-mail and SMS: separate

  If you mean your different built-in emails appearing in mail and separate mail folder then please be informed that this default happenes. BlackBerry smartphone is designed as such if you think this is awkward, can hide Messages folder (press the Alt button-> click-> Menu select hide).

• BlackBerry Smartphone WiFi hotspot connection does not

  On a car PC, I set up a hotspot for mobile devices - any device can connect to WiFi it provides and use it to access the sites. However, one of our customers told us that he cannot use it with Blackberry.

  Feature, we need is the site access, no need to UMA or any other extra features specific to BB.

  First problem we had was that BB could not associate with hotspot at all. Which is now fixed by disabling "wmm" HotSpot.

  Problem that remains open is to access Web sites. The browser is set to "access point mode", but whenever I get the url into a browser that the request times out. The entry door is correct, DNS-server (gateway itself) is also correct, assigned IP address correct.

  I dug into it, and I see that most DNS queries reach the hotspot at all. When I try DNS utility test results are the same - most DNS queries are not reach hotspot. I can see BB exchanging ARP "who has" APR "is to" packages and that's it.

  Ping to my hotspot works when I chose "WiFi-bridge" (However it does only once after the requests timeout later ~ 1600ms,). When I try to ping via IP any request time-out (but I see in the newspapers that ping reached my hotspot and it responds immediately).

  Config Hotspot is atheros wifi card (2413) based in ap mode driver is 2.6.38 ath5k kernel. I use hostapd to create network wifi and dnsmasq as DHCP/DNS server.

  I saw this thread (http://forums.pinstack.com/f156/hostap_madwifi_ng_atheros_and_w004_error-76140/ ), but changing anything in the BB is not an option (it should work with any blackberry). Also change your DNS address is not an option.

  Confirmed that it is a problem of ath5k driver. Work (at least partially with driver madwifi).

• 'Security software audit' blackBerry smartphones frequently and can not stop it

  I have a Torch 9800 - that I bought second-hand with a full reset. I got all my contacts and details copied by my local orange store.

  I'm totally new to Blackberry, and I find it very frustrating with an action of 'Check' security software often happening on my phone. The screen goes black with the Blackberry logo, and a white line slowly updates. Everything that happens I can't action one of the buttons.

  I went to the Options > Security (no services) state information > Blackberry button > check security software

  It passes through loads of ticks and said passed safety tests. But this action has not prevented frequent checking.

  What I am doing wrong? Or what should I do?

  Well, it's completely different. If your device is second hand, so now you go ahead with the measures of the seller and the buyer steps in the public knowledge base article:

• E-mail blackBerry Smartphones Outlook and BB not wireless sync. The BES.

  Hello

  I recently changed from seven years of Windows Mobile to BB. I am on a BES and the changes I make on the prospects to your desktop or Blackberry (Bold) are not synchronization in both directions. It's frustrating. My COMPUTER helpdesk advised me to "clean up" the BB a couple of times and we did it. Also my manager office of BB is not configured for synchronization as by their advisor who they explain everything is wireless.

  It of frustrating and makes me think how it was easy with Windows mobile. Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Your BES admins should work on the issue of synchronization.

  For the issue of the separate boxes of Messages, see this...

  By default, BES email is made only in posts emails BIS icon/App are placed in their own icons, but they are still contained in the main Messages application. This is how it works by default. It is not redundant - rather, think that Messages like the Tote place, with the BIS independent icons being a filter, traction (from message) to them only messages that relate to them... but if you act on an e-mail (read, delete, etc.) in one, the change will be reflected in the other.

  Your BES Admin can push an E-mail BES icon only to your device. This solution is free, but must be conducted at the level of the BES server and will affect all users on the BES server.

  • KB15003 How to create an icon on the BlackBerry smartphone to BlackBerry Enterprise Server messages

  Or you can get the application to empower BES Inbox. This solution costs (per user), but does not require a change at the server level and affects only a single user.

  • http://www.getempower.com/Empower_BES_MailBox.php

  Neither solution would do anything on Messages - will continue to contain what it contains today. All they will do is activate an additional icon on your home screen that is a filter for your BES emails only. You can hide or move the Messages icon/app out of the way, but beware - there are more that just the emails that arrive in Messages... it will come a day when you have a new message indicator and only by digging through Messages that you will be able to find this message.

  Or, if you have the correct device OS version (I know for sure it works on 5.0.0.32 8 of the storm), the device gives you options for what to display in Messages and you can remove BIS email accounts.

  I hope this helps explain how it all works!

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphone WiFi does not work most of the time

  It's like a broken record, I know, but my WiFi does not (most of the time).  It used to work well, but over time he works less and less! I use v5.0.0.979 (bundle 1607, the 5.1.0.177 platform and a Bold 9700)  I get the Green checkmarks for connections and WiFi and a white WiFi icon options.  If I try to use the browser of BalckBerry he started working in WiFi and I can see the blue WiFi on my router shows the data flow and then everything stops in for WiFi is concerned and after a period of time, it either expires or most likely to connect to the 3G network.  I used to (a 3 or 4 months) work just fine, but now very poor.  I tried another router and has the same problem.  I found no solution in the forum that makes my 9700 working properly.  If I connect to the weather apps Bug or Thomson Reuters. WiFi works great, load fast and I can see the data on my router blink indicating data streams, but whenever I use the BlackBerry browser, it won't work!  Crazy!

  I found the same thing as automatic power switch at night is interfering with connections no matter what I did. So I stopped using it and it works fine now manually turn it off. Not much extra actually works!
