• 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 smartphones change of carrier network OS

  Hey,.

  I have a BB Bold 9780 running OS of Vodacom

  However, I use a Cell C contract.

  I tried wiping the device and load a generic operating system but it still continues using Vodacom as the provider of the default operating system which is a problem because it is blocking my signal to connect to the BB Internet Service.

  The phone is aa BB Bold 9780 and at the moment has been erased without BONES.

  Please let me know A.S.A.P. How do I strip completely BB and where I can download and how to install the OS 6 generic V so that it will work with the C cell.

  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 for this before moving on to the next step) :

• 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 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 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

  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.

• 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 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 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 pre shared

  I will set up my Wifi on BB 8220 and during the installation I get enter pre shared number? Being a beginner to the network I do not understand the meaning.

  I entered in manage connections wifi turned on, then went into setting up wifi network and seen pre shared key. I am on wifi or not. With my first BB, I have entered the livebox security code in the box, and had to change the phone due to battery failure, it's a replacement.

  I'm back on emails from when I entered pin no. again.

  I don't know if my wifi works.

  (Your carrier signal) wireless and WiFi (wireless network, such as a LAN) are two different things.

  So, Yes, for the WiFi, you must within the range of the WiFi network.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Assuming you have an internet account of blackberry with your mobile service provider everything you have to do is connect your phone to your wifi to your home/work.

  You will need to go to options > wifi

  Then press menu to the left of the trackball blackberry to bring up the menu and select 'new '.

  He must then browse the available networks, select the network you want and enter the password if necessary.

  The BB must then connect to this network.
