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).

  • BlackBerry smartphone WiFi displayed but does not

    Hello

    on my BlackBerry Curve 9320 normally I have a very good WiFi connection because my router is directly beside me. For two days, I have the problem that, when I'm on Wifi, it does not run any connection (not even the browser); on the mobile network, everything works fine. I restarted my phone several times, but the problem is still there. It's a little crazy because I got the phone only 1 months ago. Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it. Then restart your wireless router.

  • BlackBerry smartphone WiFi HotSpot connection

    Dear BlackBerry community

    I had my BBTorch 9800 OS6 over a year now, which is a fantastic phone that complements any work that I do, that I use my phone as a modem.

    I find that sometimes I can have text, but it puts pressure on connection cards, when connected to the PC.

    I tried to find an app BB which contains a WiFi Hotspot, a connector where I don't have to put pressure of the components of my PC and phone BB.

    I understand the 9810 Torch carries this standard application, this application can be installed on the Torch 9800 but also found our BlackBerry App World.

    Any info on this subject will be much appreciated.

    Yours Sincerely

    JTV

    Hello

    Please see this KB:

    • KB31857 How to configure and manage a Mobile Hotspot connection

    (The access point feature is limited to 1) your carrier allowing these 2) with OS 7.1 on your BB. Access point is not one add-on app available through any means other than the meeting of these two eventualities.

    Good luck!

  • P850 satellite and a WiFi - internet connection does not work well

    Hello

    My internet connection does not work with a Wi - Fi connection.
    I have laptop Satellite P850-131, which I bought a few months ago and I noticed that over the past two months the internet connection does not work well. When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    I tried to do all the regular search but nothing works. Sometimes the message I get told that there is a problem with the DNS and other times with the IP address. However, with other computers I didn't have any problem at all to connect to the same Wi-Fis.

    All solutions?

    > When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    If such a problem would appear again start the console (window BACK in typing CMS in search)
    Here, use the command * ipconfig / renew *.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB app world does not appear on new Torch 9850.

    Blackberry app world is not installed on my new torch. I tried to go to the website of bb to download, but I can't find anything on how to download app world. I already tried a reload of the operating system. Help, please.

    If you have a hardware problem, then nothing what to do with the software or operating system will not help. But, at a distance of the internet, there is no way to really diagnose a hardware problem... rather, only to guide you to things to try which will govern the other causes, leaving only hardware like your the most likely cause. See how news of the device is for you, you can not cope and return instead of your place of purchase for formal support and (hopefully) replacement.

    But, if you want to try, then 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.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you want to try at the OS level, then the easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Trackpad and keyboard does not.

    Hello. I have a Curve 8520, I got it almost a year ago. Yesterday, an APP ERROR 523 appeared on my screen, and I discovered that an application crashed. So I tried to improve my OS from 4 to 5. He succeeded, but I couldn't scroll press OK. After a couple of hours trying to scroll down, I pressed the OK button. But my trackpad and keyboard does not work well, because when I pressed the home button my BB does not show the home screen, instead, it shows me my directory. Please help me with my problem, suggestions are appreciated.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    From what you describe, I would recommend a clean OS reload.

    At the top of each forum device, there should be some 'sticky' threads dealing with the level of the OS available for each model. Please use those as a reference as you go along.

    From a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model exact number) of a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove from your PC, no matter what other packages devices OS BB as having more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    • KB19915 How to perform a clean reload of the smartphone BlackBerry using BlackBerry Desktop Software application software

    You can also get the BBSAK (BBSAK.ORG) utility and use it to completely erase your BB (the result will be a 507) and then properly reload your operating system.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Whenever random strange behaviors creep, 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.

  • My wifi network connection does not appear

    Hello! I hope someone here can help me out.

    The other day my household switched internet companies, and they gave me a new network name and password to connect to the wifi. However, the new network is not displayed on the list of my laptop Vaio wifi connections! My neighbours networks are all appear, and I am still able to connect to other wifi networks, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the WiFi on my laptop (the wifi driver is up-to-date as well). In addition, my phone and Tablet have no problem finding and connecting to the network, identical to those of the other computers in my house, so I know that it is not a problem with the router or the connection itself. The router and laptop have all both been restarted, but that did not help either.  We tried to call the internet society, but they believe it is a problem with the computer itself, since it is the only one that the network does not appear on. It's just the network that does not appear in my list of available connections. I have never experienced a problem like this before!

    Can someone help me understand what could be the cause this and tips to help repair?

    For reference, my laptop is a Sony's Vaio, model number: VPCCB22FD, running Windows 7 (which is what it came with).

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi hard_shark,

    Welcome to the community of Sony!

    What is the type of your wireless router? (You can call your service provider if you don't know). Your computer is too far from the wireless router? It's pretty hard, but we're going to isolate it for us to solve the problem.

    • Power cycle or reset your router. (Even once, you can call your ISP for help). Power cycle your laptop as well. Just remove the battery and press the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Reinstall wireless driver. - Start -> type-> Device Manager double-click network adapters -> right click and Uninstall (DO NOT REMOVE) the wireless network card driver-> to restart the laptop.
    • If still the same then download again the driver wifi: Intel® WiFi Link 1000 BGN Driver then restart the unit.
    • Run the Windows updateand Vaio update .
    • Run convenience store -> Start -> type Troubleshooting -> click on network and Internet -> select network card , then follow the instructions on the screen.
    • go to the control panel-> (as read by: category) under network and Internet, select view network status and tasks -> click on set up a new connection or network -> connect to Internet -> No, create a new connection -> select Wireless and follow the instructions on the screen.

    Hope these helps.

    Hi all

    I have a big problem with my "BOLD" (German) 9700 BB.

    As I took on my jacket this morning it does not accept the password to unlock the screen.

    I thought it was me, so I tried again and again led attempts 3/10, 4/10, 5/10...Normally there are stars, so you won't see the pass, now its clear letters and numbers? More: top-right corner it showes EN then maybe this past German to English settig (I don't have it-on lens)

    I am now 9/10, the screen asking me to enter 'blackberry' but I am learning that if it doesn't hurt once more all on the Phanoe will be deleted which would be a nightmare that I don't have a backup...!

    an a German forum about someone with the same problem 'translate' pass numbers (1111) in letters (YYYY) as his apparently English keyboard - I did (get low), but it did not work?

    Someone at - it p l e a s e!
