BlackBerry smartphone WiFi HotSpot connection

• 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 not connecting

  OK my 8220 pearl is able to extract the parameters of my linksys wireless router no problem but it is wont connect to the internet. I tried all the security, wireless setting combination I can think of but it don't always work, even with no security enabled. On manage them connections screen I get ticked box Wi - Fi 'green network name' with the white dashboard where the check mark green or red X's. Thanks for any ideas

  OK guys, I have some GOOD news!

  I literally just got the phone with t-mobile and talk with a blackberry specialist!

  I originally called to add the package Internet blackberry, think that's what I had to use the wi - fi and boy I was wrong!

  The Tech Rep told me that I don't have the internet package blackberry to use WI - FI. And I said: are you sure? and she said... Let me show you!

  Then she took me to the Options, then the Advance Options, then browser and under 'Configuration of the default browser', she had me change "t-mobile" to "Hotspot Browser" and I have connected to my WI - FI connection to work and was amazed! I was surfing the internet, downloading of applications and messengers do Business!

  She said that the reason why I couldn't navigate before was because as I didn't that defining all of tmobile, my phone thought I was trying to connect to internet using tmobile cellular internet service which I do not have a subscription for and that is why he has never worked.

  So overall, I correct my answer to a previous post on the same subject, the guy who lets you know if all your other wi - fi is right installation, then this is definitely the last thing you need to check that you can surf the web using a WI - FI connection.

  I hope to see some post saying that it worked for you guys!

  Thanks for reading and good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphone WIFI hotspot icon

  My icon of wifi dissappeared from my menu of networks and connections. Does anyone know how to get it back?

  It's a basic application, you will need to reload your OS.

  Plug your BlackBerry Desktop Software phone and wait for your phone to be recognized.  Once this is the case, click device at the top of the software and then restore.  Choose the most recent restore point and the load.  Who should restore the Wi - Fi icon on your screen for connection management.

  I hope that helps you.

• BlackBerry smartphones could not connect to the WiFi system at home - "unable to get an IP address.

  Like many of you, I have WiFi connection problems with my new BB9700.

  When I'm out of the House, I can see my BB, find local WiFI hotspots and I can connect to them immediately.

  However, when I get home, my BB doesn't connect to my WiFi, return the following error message:

  Unable to connect

  Reason: Could not obtain an IP address

  I downloaded the latest version of the software BB (now running version 5.0.0.351), cold all started in view (router, telephone, coffee table and the cat) but still the same error. My foot pain, the cat is not about me and I still can't connect to the House! Of course, my carrier connection works perfectly like their outrageous fees structure... (They are 3G or Hutchinson Telecom under a different name).

  My WiFi access provider (PCCW / HK Netvigator) checked my system configuration and report that everything works correctly. I can connect my PS3, my laptop, my Nokia E71 without any problem and the guy from the hotline can see when I connect each of them to the system.

  I tried different combinations of switching the usual options on and off on the BB but always get a connection.

  SO, any of you kind of people you have a solution other than the cat suddenly once again?

  Thanks in advance,

  RS. HK.

  Dear Mike,

  I basically solved this issue will me a LOT of searching.

  Step 1.

  Step 2.

  Router

  Reset the Security Type on router configuration None (presented to the router to save settings)

  Step 3.

  BlackBerry Bold 9700

  Delete the profile of my WiFi at home in the WiFi Options

  Step 4.

  BlackBerry Bold 9700

  Reentry into the profile of my WiFi at home in WiFi Configuration

  WiFi in the House. SUCCESS AT LAST!

  Step 5.

  BlackBerry Bold 9700

  In manage connections, unchecked Mobile Network (i.e. Off and No Way can connect to my 3G service provider)

  Step 6.

  Turn off the Blackberry Bold 9700.

  Battery pull.

  Restart the Blackberry Bold 9700.

  The House immediately found of WiFi Internet and all other functions working perfectly.

  Only problem is now my home network is unsecured. (Can't get the IP address if WEP security is enabled)

  So it's all good now and forward it to someone else who has the same problem.

  Happy Chinese new year!

• BlackBerry Smartphones only "hotspot browser".

  I've updated my facebook application to the latest version, but just after that the update of it... i cannot connect to facebook or any other internet-based application. My bbm has stopped working and I could no longer emails. I went to the options of the browser and discovered that I could only go on the internet via a hotspot "browser"... There is no other choice. I tried the battery pull or HRT "sign up now" option but nothing happens. ".  I had my SIM card and inserted into my wife BB and everything works fine.

  I don't know what to do next... Please help

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I suggest the following, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message to your BB to come...) Please wait for this before moving on to the next step):

  (1) registry HRT

  (2) remove and return Service directories

  • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
  • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

  (3) restart to take batt

  • 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.

  I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your provider of wireless services for formal support.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not CONNECT to THE SERVER

  Hello need help. My Blackberry Curve 8520 (OS 5.0.0.1036) does not connect to the server. It shows my network (Vodafone) and gets a strong signal; makes and receives calls; connect wifi; but it is also completely static. After the first Setup email screen I get: your device has a connection to the server problm.  (I think it means the Blackberry server?)  So I can not connect any email.  Very well in my other near-identical Curve 8520 Sim Card work.  How can I do please?  Y at - it a reset or software update is complete I can undertake? Thank you, Michael

  I can help you with the it policy... lack of procedure for access to the BES server, this (and only this) cleanse a BB to an it policy:

  • Article ID: KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

  If you do a backup/restore, don't do this basically... rather, backup/restore only the databases specific you need (for example, calendar, contacts, messages, etc.) and more precisely to avoid data bases having something to with COMPUTER policy, business, etc.. If you restore those, the it policy will be conscientiously restored to the device, and you will be right where you are now.

  As for a BES Server trying to reach out... There is nothing that I can offer you. Your best bet is to talk to your provider and make sure you have no BES-level service enabled on your account of them. Who should (note 'should'... is there no guarantees) prevent a BES server to reach out and the reactivation of your device.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphones can not connect to Internet / locked message screen

  Hello!!

   

  I have 2 questions that I hope someone can answer.
  

   

  #1), I have a unlocked new Curve 9300 OS5, checked with my cell phone provider to make sure that everything was compatible before I bought it. My cell phone operator's cellular consumption and their internet settings etc is the same as AT & T, but I am not able to connect to the internet. The phone I bought was a phone that has been configured for use with AT & T. My operator tells me that Blackberry phones are the only phones that they were not able to get to connect to the internet, all other phones that they have had no problem with, nice huh?  I do not understand why Blackberry phones, even those which is suitable for AT & T does not connect to the internet via cellular consumption, even using the same codes, or what you like AT & T, or so I thought. Someone, can someone help me to understand this or put me in touch with someone who can, I think Blackberry would learn this so that the problem can be solved, I know several people who would have liked to have bought Blackberry phones, but decided to not not having heard about my situation.
  

   

  Locked screen message #2). I watched the video and followed the direction, made several times to ensure that I was not missing anything and I still can't display locked message to change the message resolved to plant in my message. Any thoughts on this problem?
  

   

  Thanking all in advance for your time and your help.
  

   

  Heidi
  

  #1) to connect to the Internet with a BlackBerry, you need to have a BlackBerry plan data. Without this, you will get no data service, apart from a few wifi on a BlackBerry Smartphone services.

  (#2) you are sure that the device is 'new '? That the message is displayed on the lock screen?

• BlackBerry smartphones can not connect BlackBerry Pearl 9105 for PC

  Hello world

  I have the following problem:

  After using my BB Pearl 9105 for almost 3 years, I can not connect to PC more (I still menu with choice of 3 options on my smartphone when I connect, but when I click on that option "usb" or "charge", the menu appears again).

  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.

  I can still load.

  Could anyone suggest me how to solve this problem?

  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).

  Check also on the incompatible software... it was reported that NTI Shadow Ninja & software can cause a conflict; Remove and reinstall the desktop software BB allows to install correctly.

  My apologies in advance if this is redundant - there is no way to be sure that if you have already seen and tried these. Also apologies if all are not currently available... RIM takes their monte and descends at will as they revise things.

  I hope that something it is useful!

  See you soon!
