BlackBerry smartphone WiFi automatic switching network with OS 5.0.0.46 1?

There was an earlier version of the OS 5 (I don't remember which) that I was using with the 8900 which seems to connect to WiFi networks automatically known to me. For example, once I have connected to my home and work wireless networks (at least once), it could automatically connects with these networks when I'm in the neighborhood. I didn't change anything on the BB or manually switch networks.

However, since using 5.0.0.46 1, the 8900 is no longer connects to the known WiFi signals automatically. Someone said that this has something to do with the setting of the 'unique scan profile' option in the WiFi configuration options screen. But I tried to turn this option on AND outside, and it seems to make no difference. Indeed, if this option is disabled, the 8900 does not connect to ANY WiFi network. If this option is enabled, it only connects to the network I need to manually choose.

Can someone tell me what their experience with automatic connection with WiFi networks known? Y at - it a setting or option that I'm not aware. It's a pain to always have to manually switch networks when I go back home to work and vice versa.

Thank you.

It seems that the problem I mentioned in the opening post is related to 5.0.0.46 1.  Yesterday, I saw that there was a 'leaked' to the 8900 OS. This is OS 5.0.0.50 9.  I download and installed this new OS and my problem went away. Now the 8900 will connect to known WiFi networks automatically when I "Enable single profile analysis" option unchecked.

  • 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?

    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!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    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) return Service books (pre-BB10 only devices)

    • 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 - 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.

    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.

  • BlackBerry smartphones is this a problem with my Bold 9700 flash memory?

    A few annoying problems recently with my Bold 9700.

    First, my Blackberry has suddenly started to massively delete recent appointments in my calendar, which will attempt to remove them from my Outlook calendar when I synchronize the device to my laptop.  This has not happened before, and I checked to make sure that the schedule is set to never delete nominations, and it is set correctly.

    Second, my Blackberry App World application (both on the device and online) does not display one of my installed applications, except one, but they are all still on the device and working properly.  I'm 18 apps installed from BB App World, beyond the pre-installed applications on the device, which are less than 10 MB in total size.

    The reason I think that the problem could be linked to the internal flash memory is that whenever I want to install an application, I usually get a message indicating there is enough memory and I have to uninstall some other applications to free up space.  When I checked my memory earlier, he said that had less than 1 MB.  I restarted the machine and now it tells me there is 12.2 MB of available space, which always seems incredibly low for me since I installed only about 10 MB of my own applications.  So, I delete the file all attachments of the device and do not keep e-mail on the device beyond 30 days, and all media is stored on flash cards, not in the device memory.

    The most important question I have to solve is how to prevent the device to delete data from calendar (it keeps recurring appointments, but has been deleted and everything before about two weeks ago).

    Hello

    It's an automatic protection mechanism with BBs. During the AppMemory (not the device, no media memory card memory) get low, the BB must start deleting things to preserve its ability to operate. Unfortunately, he really can't go after data... it can't really go after installed applications. Here are some tips to use:

    • KB02843 What is the function of low memory manager on the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB14320 How to maximize space and power battery life on the BlackBerry smartphone
      • KB14213 Call logs, SMS text and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB10183 E-mail messages are removed from the BlackBerry device until the messages expire

    In addition, it is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. On the contrary, to close an application, tap on and select 'Close' or 'Quit'... which force the application to be closed, freeing resources for your new use it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

    Now, AppMemory is not just for the apps... the real BB operating system is here as well. Depending on the options you have included, which might be things bloating as well.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones why MAC different BT with MAC?

    Hi, I was wondering my "BOLD" has the same IMEI and PIN code as that printed on the box, but the MAC does not match the MAC(which also provide on the box right side) BT. What is the difference between BT MAC and MAC? or how to sound different with my "BOLD", if they are the same?

    Thank you!!

    I think BT (Bluetooth) MAC and the MAC (WIFI) to make the difference. The BlackBerry smartphone is not a

    real MAC identifier.

    In my case, I can't so BBM to complete all steps of the installation (in my case, it has to do with the fact that I don't have any active data plan from my mobile provider... This is a sine qua non for BBM, so I do not think that it actually works on my device). But in your case, withdrawal (per above) and try again may be cautious.

  • 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.
