• BlackBerry Smartphones USE FOR CURVE 8520 WIFI

  I recently bought a blackberry curve 8520 with Fido. My phone is connected to my wifi at home, but I want to assure you that I'm strictly using data NOT wifi (because I don't have a data plan). I noticed that in a network public wifi, a red asterisk * - appears on the WiFi icon in the upper right of the phone. Like this:

  (the WiFi symbol is surrounded to demonstrate what I mean when I say WiFi symbol and the asterisk appeared like this)

  

  However on my home network, if it says it is connected, the asterisk does not appear. As you can see it it says "Fido-peanut" (my router name) which means that Yes, I'm "connected..." BUT without the red asterisk on the wifi symbol (with my home WiFi) does that mean that I am not connected correctly?  I called Fido and the CSR said she thinks she has something to do with login password in public WiFi, but she's not sure.

  The problem seems to be this: when I go on 'The Mobile Network Options' to activate ""data services ' OFF(to make sure that I am only using wifi and no data), the connection fails and I get this message: "

  

  

  

  When I turn it on, I am able to connect.

  

  

  For ""connection preference ": "

  what setting should I put if I don't want to use any WIFI data BUT?  Yes, the obvious answer would be to choose "WI - Fi" only, but this means that I won't be able to call/text because my mobile connection turns off.

  

  So, how can I make sure I'm really only using wifi and not data when both the data service is turned ON and my wifi is 'connected '?

  It is a list of what I've done:

  (1) the HOTSPOT USER - check.

  (2) insterted PIN provided by the phone to my dlink router (via online)

  (3) tried the push button configuration

  (4) restarted my router/modem

  5) there is a check mark next to the WiFi connection:

  

  It would seem that I am connected to Wifi, but again, to reiterate, that I would like to ask if the WiFi is the ONLY thing I use and not data.

  Thank you!

  It's pretty simple... IF you are connected to your network Mobile disabled (no phone calls or SMS) you will use ONLY WiFi. Only. As long as you have the 'white' dashboard and the name of the network "green peanut butter", you are connected to WiFi, but without BIS BlackBerry data services.

  If you disable Data Services, you will not be able to use data in any form (via WiFi or Mobile network, if it is enabled.)

  No BlackBerry data plan, you will be able to use the WiFi hotspot browser and some few third-party apps like Pandora radio.

• Button of browser blackBerry Smartphones No. on curve 9300?

  Hi all, my original BB curve 9300 was stolen - son he has liked it so much I bought another one from an Internet auction site. All was well until my son has noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said that everything was fine with his contract. They helped me through the access remote and backed up, then tried to restore and update all nothing done. The only thing they think is that it is a business phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they do not surf the net, so it is disabled. My question is, is that correct? Can do something to restore the navigation, or is it something else?
  Thanks Nicky

  If the seller has not completed ALL their steps, you have purchased a device that can never be able to function fully. But, if all is what the seller failed to detach the COMPUTER of the BB policy, then you can do indeed:

• BlackBerry smartphone messaging issue curve 9320

  Hi all!

  the e-mail on my 9320 function does not work correctly. I have correctly configured my gmail on mydevice account and I get emails and receive notifications when they arrive, HOWEVER...

  When I opened the email all I see is heading for the topic and who it is from, there is no message body. Looking back through my old emails, the only ones I have read completely are those that I received BlackBerry when I first set up my email confirming the installation. If I select answer or forward, it opens the E-mail project but then the email app is closed completely and I'm suddenly brought to my home screen.

  What I've tried so far:

  -Turning device and turn it on again

  -removal and setting up my email account once again

  -wear the device to where I bought it. they offered to download blackberrydesktop on my PC Manager and backup then restore my phone. I did it without a change in behavior from my blackberry

  Any help or advice is much appreciated

  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) Remove and return Service books

  • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
  • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
  • 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 not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you need to consider a full reload OS... to prepare, please visit link for Backup in my auto signature on this post.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones has new Curve?

  Hello world!

  I had just a small question

  so its time for a new blackberry and I love the curve series, and I was wondering if he had plans for a new curve (for AT & T) at any time in the near future. I don't want to buy one and get a new one out shortly after!

  It would be great if they could add the record video and wifi at the 8310... but I guess this would make just TOO perfect, huh? =]

  Thank you!!

  Sorry Tanzim on wifi. I read an article of innacurate or I just misread it.

  ilsb2m, release date depends on your operator. As of now I heat At & t is supposed to release sometime in September.

• Unlocked blackBerry Smartphones using bb curve 9310 w/Tmobile without data

  Hello, I'm looking to buy a bb curve 9310. For the moment, I'm in a 2 year contract with calls unlimited-Tmobile & text, no data plan.
  
  I need to change my phone and I would like a blackberry because I have a lot of text, and also I would use its WiFi capabilities as well.
  
  I did some research and it seems to be is not as simple as just buy the phone and put a SIM card. I just want to know if I would be able to use a unlocked bb curve with my Tmobile SIM 9310 (plan of 2 years, no data)
  
  I already know that I won't be able to use features such as BBM. I'm waiting until my contract expires and may then add a data plan or change of provider.
  
  Any response would be greatly appreciated as I need to change my phone as soon as POSSIBLE.
  
  Thank you!

  What happens with companies like At & t and Verizon. However, T-mobile in the United States is not that. I have an iPhone and a BB 9780 for two of my children on family plans for $5 per month - no data plan.

• BlackBerry Smartphones, please answer a few basic questions

  I went Saturday to buy my Blackberry Curve to US Cellular, but I guess I was expecting more big, so I ended up going with the Moto Q9c. WHAT A MISTAKE!  I hate this phone!  Can I Exchange my phone once within 30 days, but I'm afraid that since they are both smart phones that I'm not happy with the Blackberry and I will be stuck with it.  Then... someone who has the curve or the 8300 (?) (it's the largest) could you please answer a few questions for me?

  1. can you download ringtones of your real?

  2. can you use songs downloaded in the media player as ringtones?

  3. When you acknowledge (read) to a text, that the judgment of your play (it is not on the MOTO Q)?

  4. can I assign tones to ring/text for each individual contact.

  5 do you have to go through a bunch of menus to send texts or view the mailboxes for the text (Inbox, sent, drafts box, etc.)?

  I think that's it.  Your Blackberry genius any help would be greatly appreciated!

  1 Yes

  2. Yes

  3. Yes

  4. Yes

  5 NO.

• Instant Messaging for blackBerry Smartphones will not work on wifi

  I got my camera a few months ago. I always have my iphone, it wasn't until last week when I was reminded of I have a blackberry and started using it. Unfortunately, I always have a hard time linking my IM using wifi. This will never work! For example, whenever I try to log-in using my yahoo Messenger, I always get an error message indicating that "Service not allows for this pocket. I think maybe since it is a preinstalled application I should be able to use my IMs (esp. yahoo and google) using the wifi as when you use your iphone or android devices. So is there a problem on my phone because I can't use my IMs using wifi? Also I'm using curve BB 9220. Thank you!

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  BlackBerry <> iPhone or Android

  BlackBerry devices have owners that require subscription to a package of data from your provider, even if you use these services via WiFi. I don't remember if the specific services you mention fall into this category or not, but you need to ring to the top of your service provider and tell them about the exact services that you want to use and then make sure that you subscribe to a package of adequate data from them to enable these services.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones new customer! A few Questions

  Well just buy the Blackberry "BOLD" to Ebay! It's unlocked because I'll leave the USA for about 4 years studying and my contract with AT & T has just finished two days ago and no point of renewal.
  This is my first blackberry and I can't use 100% as you can be in a position to do so, I have just a few doubts and I will accept it gladly someone of you to help me.
  First of all, I don't have a Sim Card yet, because of reasons I unmask above.
  Issues related to the:
  (1) how to set my normal Hotmail + Gmail email on the phone? The only option is available for me is BB Enterprise Server. Is it possible to have my email using Wifi? OR I have to have a data plan?
  (2) with the issue, I have download some applications of chat for my "BOLD" as for example, msn and aim. But when I try to log in this message appears: no available data Service? How can I look forward to using the wi - fi connection (if possible)?

  Basically, these are my questions, I was not a tech guy but I really like the "BOLD" and decide to buy and im very happy with it, just have these issues and I would really appreciate if someone will give me an answer. Please don't berate me.

  Thank you

  Luis

  And of course, you will need a SIM card in the device to allow any data plan, in which you will have the icon for "personal messaging configuration.

• BlackBerry Smartphones new owner without data Plan Questions

  This is my first post here, yesterday I received my new BB Curve 8900 from T-Mobile. I spent some time playing with the phone yesterday and of course I have a few questions.

  I chose to do not to get the data plan from T-Mobile for two reasons. One, I don't have many friends with BB if I wouldn't get many people to BBM. Second, I don't have much of a need for e-mail and internet while I travel. For me, the cost of the data plan doesn't make sense.

  That being said, it is possible to access his mail without the data plan (via wifi)? I know that I can't do 'BB Push' and is not a problem, but on my old phone (Nokia E71) I could just set the phone with my email accounts and access it using the WiFi at school or at home. I was able to get the BB browser to access my home wi - fi so I could go to the Web sites, but no luck with the e-mail. I guess I could use the email by logging in on the site of my school or AOL/GMail.com, but seems very not. Is it possible to do this, or perhaps there is an app that I could use to receive email via Wi - Fi?

  I read a lot of posts on here talking about how BB is "paralyzed" without the data plan, but honestly I don't know if a few hundred extra dollars a year is justifiable.

  Thank you!

• BlackBerry 9700 "bold" blackberry smartphones does not connect to wifi

  I have a blackberry bold 9700 and I got it a few days ago and every since then ive been trying to get the wifi working. Phones unlocked by the way.

  I implemented the wifi fine but in manage connections, I have my network in green next to my wifi and a white check mark to the right and its supposed to be a checkmark im assuming.

  No matter what I do my wifi symbol does not illuminate white his gray yet and I have configured the wifi and it says it's connected but still no wifi.

  What settings on my phone or my internet or my phone I do not know now im so confused.

  and I have a router linksys and im with rogers and im new to blackberrys.

  The white tick means that you are connected to WiFi rotate.

  A green check mark indicates that you are connected to the WiFi router AND your BlackBerry BIS data plan. Do you have this data Plan on your mobile service provider account?

  If this is not the case, call them and ask.

  Good luck.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BBM on curve 9320 - bad behavior

  Son of 9320, on a Virgin Mobile (Canada) plan will not let him use BBM on wifi. The app insists on finding a "data connection". We do not have a data plan. I use BBM on my Android phone using wifi. I find it strange that a native app on Blackberry does not work correctly.

  Can someone enlighten me please. There must be a solution.

  Thanks - sent from my orphans but still cool PlayBook

  Hello

  In fact, what you describe is WAD - working as designed. Only via the newer devices (BB10, no BB Android and iOS) BBM and other exclusive services BB can be used without a proper data of the mobile operator plan. BBs inherited, such as your son, need a plan of data by the carrier, even if the use is strictly via WiFi. It's just the way things are legacy devices (the full explanation is much longer... If you want, just ask).

  I hope that your operator has a plan very inexpensive which will just BBM and perhaps other social networking services... but only they can answer as to what services they offer through their data of different plans.

  Good luck!

• Applications for blackBerry Smartphones available for Curve 9360 - what URL can they be addressed via a PC?

  I can't find a page where I can see comfortably, on my PC, the applications available for BB Curve 9360 on the BB site.

  (From p. \Apps home I get to a list of devices, where I find the curve, but when I click it, I sent again to the homepage!)

  Please, let me know the URL where I am sure they are, even if I can't find it by myself.

  Hello

  If, by 'apps', you mean these natively included in OS package, while it's complicated... There are a variety of basic applications, but each company is free to "Pack" the package of core OS with their network-specific things or they chose to push their customers.

  If, by 'apps', you hear the module and 3rd party applications that the user chooses to download, then there are a variety of resources:

  • AppWorld: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/product/1/?LID=us:bb:apps:blackberryapps & CAL = us: /c0 > bb:apps & reg.
  • MobiHand
  • Handango
  • BPlay
  • GetJAR

  Each of them works differently, so it is quite difficult to provide detailed instructions for each.

  Good luck!
