BlackBerry smartphone Wifi vs BIS

Hello
I just wanted to know if I'm in a WiFi area with my Active BIS, which service my BB Bold 9930 phone will use for the streaming media on the internet.

Is there a way to define the connection preferred WiFi in Bold 9930?

It uses WiFi.  If the blackberry symbol next to the WiFi icon, then this means that WiFi usage for blackberry services.

More confirmation: from the home screen, to lower your manage connections window.  Choose the status of the service and your BIS should say WiFi.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Hotmail w/BIS is not sync when using Windows Live Messenger

    Hello

    I've got BES both BIS working in my BlackBerry. BES has the email that I use at work. BIS has configured my Hotmail account. Both work fine, but when I tried to use Windows Live Messenger in my BlackBerry I realized that the emails of Hotmail stopped coming.

    So far, that's what I got:

    If I connect to Windows Live Messenger from my BlackBerry, from a Windows computer, or within Hotmail (inside the web browser) I no longer receive mail. Everything I do from my BlackBerry still affects my Hotmail account (mark an e-mail as read, delete or sending an e-mail using my Hotmail account).

    When I sign out of Windows Live Messenger and you receive another email, all delays and the new email come to my BlackBerry and guard mail very well until I connect to Windows Live Messenger again. I do not receive the emails delayed until I get a new once the connection from Windows Live Messenger.

    Already tried battery pull, remove and re-add the account of Hotmail in BIS and uninstall and reinstallation of Windows Live Messenger.

    Please, I know already all the love that some people have on other services of e-mail webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), which helps not at all.

    I searched the web and I have nothing, I hope someone can help me.

    Thanks in advance.

  • 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!

    I am offered a replacement with 102 the seller ID unit. Should I take that chance?

    If the vendor ID and the model number is compatible with your network of selected carriers, then maybe Yes. Each carrier supports only a subset of all the BB model numbers... If your model number is not natively supported on their network for automatic filling of HRT and delivery of service book, it does not automatically work on their network. If the device they offer you is compatible, then it should work. Of course, no one can really predict the outcome for your particular situation.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphone Wifi minus sign?

    I recently bought a blackberry curve 9300. And it works fine but when I got home. I tried to connect to my home wifi. It is connected, but it won't work. It shows a sign less instead of a check mark. What should I do?

    the white hash mark (-) indicates that you ARE connected to the WiFi router.

    the green check or the check box indicates you are ALSO connected via WiFi to the BlackBerry Internet Service plan.

    You have BIS plan on your account data?

    What is your operating system loaded on your device? Look at the Options > device > about third down line starting with a "v.6.0.x.xxx", what is yours?

  • Question of blackBerry Smartphones very clumsy BIS

    Hello. I post here because, in my opinion, is the last thing that I have left to do.

    Not sure if there is no news of this but I'll try to keep it this way.

    Since this afternoon BIS is not register my phone more. It says 'edge' insead 'EDGE '. My BIS data plan has been activated like 2 days ago and it has worked very well so far.

    I called my local operator to support that they sent me the books of service as two times and obviously I did the basics before testing it (take-off at the battery). Nothing happened. Called the 3rd time, they told me that it has nothing to with them more cause it's all they can do.

    The clumsy real thing is that, now that I connect to my personal WIFI bberry email, bbm, whatsapp messenger for yahoo, navigation, absolutely everything, works AS IT SHOULD work on BIS. The second that I disconnect my wifi, there no internet more on it. No more BBM, no more nothing.

    I even tried a wipe. That has not worked either.

    To be honest, it's kind of my last hope before throwing the 10th floor, because it is * bleep * me off.

    THE: After wipe 'the trick' with the connection to my wifi no longer works since all the service books have disappeared. Try saving again does not either, as I said.

    Anyway, I can't spend SIMs because that would mean to pay an another data plan on a different SIM card. Maybe I will if I have no other options left, but for now I don't want to.

    The suggestion is actually replace the SIM... sometimes they spoil. A replacement should not cost anything, I think.

    DanMoody wrote:

    My camera has been unlocked 2-3 days ago btw, because it was locked on Vodafone Spain, but as I said it worked great.

    Oh... more details are needed. Which carrier your BB was initially assigned? And what carrier are you trying now to operate it on? And what SIM carrier do you use? And which carrier BIS account is active?

    These details could be very important indeed. For example, if your BB from Spain, and now you're trying to use it in Romania, you might have for this short period, received service your account of the Spain BIS, but they finally "caught it" and blocked it (Spain or the Romania could have done). So the exact details of your situation is perhaps well critical... using a BB on a different network can be difficult indeed, and some very specific things need to be done in order to make it work well. For example, if your BIS account remains active in Spain, then the carrier of the Romania will not be able to create a BIS account... single BB PIN can exist anywhere in the world in system BIS only carrier...

    Thank you and let us know!

  • 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

    Philipp

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

    Try these two steps and post back with your results.

  • 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

    Please see this KB:

    (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.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Wifi use roaming free

    Hello

    I have a private BIS connection back home and I'm currently traveling abroad. My question is if I am charged for the use of data when the following settings apply:

    Mobile network = OFF

    WIFI = WE

    Data services = WE

    Data roaming OFF = services

    Account these parameters of my BIS says service status = Wifi.

    Does that mean I will cause NOT fresh?

    Thanks in advance

    As stated in the previous update, if you don't use a mobile network, so you will not be charged.

    If you use Wi - fi netwrok & keepin' mobile netwrok off the power, then no need to worry. your carrier will not charge you.

    Thank you.. !

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BES and BIS emails for display separation

    Just bought a Bold 9000 (my first BB) and very disappointed that separation of BES and BIS emails is not a standard feature. BES can be displayed via the files of common messages that shows everything, including BIS emails/SMS/IM etc. BIS messages can be seen in their respective folder (i.e. yahoo/gmail)

    There is a product like know empower (http://www.getempower.com/)is a PURCHASABLE third party product that is supposed to separate the mails, but it is certainly a good way to provide this functionality as part of your product that I won't have to sift through all of my emails and understand those who are BES/BIS.

    Empower the BTW does not work on later versions of the o/s of BB and this means that the "BOLD" is assigned. Come on guys, the sort...! Either buy empower and integrate into your device where it can be updated with your resource ample or build something that focuses a bit more to the needs of the customer.

    BES 4.1.5 gives you an option to separate BIS and BES mail. Also the sms/mms can be separated as well.

  • 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.

    Sorry to hear that you are having a problem with BBM.

    Under Options > device > application management, which is the Version listed BBM?

    When you go to www.blackberry.com/bbm on your device browser and go into install BBM, do you have a prompt to replace the same version or install a new one?

  • 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).
