BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9700 wifi but not bbm

As of right now I'm temporarily in Argentina, but my carrier is T-Mobile in the United States, where I have an unlimited plan. I have a bold 9700 with OS5. Now, with my T-Mobile chip if I get a WiFi I can navigate and use bbm. However, with Argentina chip from another phone (which does include no data) when I connect to wifi I can browse but do not have bbm. In addition, despite being connected, the rest white wifi dim (as opposed to the more dynamic version) icon. I am struggling to understand why with a single chip it would allow me to use bbm and why he would not with each other. It's annoying to have to constantly switch between the two circuits to be able to use bbm. Any ideas?

It's actually pretty simple. Your TM SIM includes all BB owners... when it is inserted, you have access to these services, because your BB can authenticate (happens in the background, you do nothing) to the servers TM BIS (via WiFi). With your Argentinean SIM card, you have no BB service... and as such don't receive them (because, not having the card SIM of TM, your BB cannot authenticate on the TM BIS servers). Regardless of the access channel (e.g., network WiFi vs data carrier), you must run with a SIM card which has a BB data plan in order to use the services BB owners.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9700 for ORANGE bought in the UK, but never used does not work with TELSU SIM in the Canada

    I had a Blackberry Bold 9700 as a gift.  I think it was made for the Orange network in the United Kingdom ('Orange' written at the bottom of the BlackBerry in the front).  I tried to use it with my TELUS account in Canada with TELUS SIM.  The Blackberry does not register any wireless network signal.  The meter of signal display "SOS" only and no TELUS network is avaiable.  My position is Mississauga (Ontario) and Telus wireless covers this area for sure.  I checked that the device is not locked by going to Options-Advanced-online SIM card and typing MEPD Options Online.  The options that appear to say 'off '.  The device seems to read the SIM card because the SIM card # appears.

    Y at - it someone who has the same problem and its resolution.  A large part in this regard, the obligation for any input.

    Hello

    I just discovered the reason for BB does not not with TELUS that I wanted to inquire about registration CDMA you mentioned...

    A smart guy, he asked me to check the frequency bands that supports my BB.  Its sub Options => on.  "3 G bands" that supports my BB are 1, 4, and 8.  These correspond to the IMT 2100 MHz, AWS 1700 MHz and GSM 900 MHz respectively.  The frequencies that TELUS uses in the Canada are groups 1, 2, 5 and 6.

    So, finally tech TELUS came with the answer that my BB is designed to work with some UK frequencies and not with TELUS frequencies in the Canada.

    I've misunderstood and used the term incorrectly HARD LOCK.  The BB I have shows all the options as "disabled" when I go into options in advance-online SIM card and press the MEPD.  Also if I press MEP2 unit not asks me to input MEP codes.  Nothing happens.  This led me to believe that this device is not locked to ORANGE network so the lack of a better term, I used little HARD LOCKED.

    Much obliged for your entry.  It has been enlightening.  Thank you very much.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9700 will not ring

    Hello guys. I have a problem with my BB Phone. It does not ring. When people try to contact me, it just doesn't sound. I have v.5.0.0.586. I tried rebooting by removing the battery, but still the same problem. Could someone help me please?

    Hi BiancaBogdan

    It's fine if your device passes self-test.

    Have you tried to change your ringtone to any default ringtone?

    If the problem persists, then it could be a software problem, but this is my personal advice to stay on OS 5, because the Bold 9700 doen't have enough memory to run OS6, you can install it on your Bold 9700 OS6 but you will have to confront the issue with little memory, will not be able to install the application a lot , multiple tabs, you may experience problems such as freezing and trolling device. I suggest that you should stay on OS5 and try to perform a clean OS Reload that will correct any software problem.

    first make a backup of your device using desktop software:

    KB12487 : How to backup BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry desktop software for Windows

     

    Then follow this KB to recharge your device software:

    KB11320  : How to perform a reload own BlackBerry Device using BlackBerry desktop software for windows software

     

    After charging, do not restore any 3rd party application from your backup, choose a selective restore, restore only your Contacts, calendar, memo etc. Check your device and see if the problem resolves. If the problem continues then you can start with the native BlackBerry application and continue with the others.

    Try it and tell us your progress.

     

     

  • BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphones may not make or receive calls

    I have a blackberry bold 9700 with TMobile, who cannot make or receive calls since yesterday.  Texts and e-mail work fine and I have done a battery pull approximately five times.  When I try to make a call, it is this constant clicking, almost like a pulse of sound that comes through the phone.  I tried to call the phone my wife and her phone rings with my number, but no voice crosses.  Same problem when I receive a call, the pulse thing happens and it goes to voicemail... which of course, I can't verify.

    I had this phone during nearly two years and that has never happened before.  This just started yesterday past and no change to the phone (OS update, new application, etc.).  Someone has an idea what is the problem?

    • Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.
    • If it still does not work, remove and reinsert the SIM card.
    • And, if still not, go to the store of your mobile operator and get a free exchange of SIM card and check it while IN the store.

  • BlackBerry smartphones none given don't Plan - connected to wifi but not Internet access?

    Hi all!

    I am a new Blackberry owner.  I have a Blackberry Bold 9700, and I use AT & T.  I don't have a data plan, so I chose this phone so I can use the internet in Wi - Fi areas.  I am currently in a WiFi area, and my phone says I'm connected.  However, when I try to open the web browser, it says "cannot connect to the Internet, please try again later."  Is it a common problem with a quick fix?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank you!

    With OS6, you cannot set the browser to be just a HotSpot browser. You can do within OS5.

    Well, IF you are connected to a WiFi hotspot, your device will use the browser and that's it, not much else. Some applications like Opera Mini and Pandora radio will work on a single WiFi.

  • I can't update the Smartphones from blackBerry bold 9700 to OS6

    I'm trying to update my bold 9700 OS6, but I can't.

    If you really want to update your device, I would say that do you a 'new' OS installation according to the following instructions:

    1. Use Desktop Manager to backup your device.
    2. Close the Desktop Manager and disconnect your device.
    3. Download an application on your computer called BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife). You use it to wipe the operating system of your device. You can get it here: www.bbsak.org
    4. Download the latest OS for your device, you can get here. https://swdownloads.BlackBerry.com/downloads/entry.do?code=9461CCE28EBE3E76FB4B931C35A169B0.------
    5. Connect your device to your PC and start BBSAK. It will ask you a password. If you don't have a game for your device, simply click OK.
    6. Choose the option to wipe device. Once completed, you will be left with a blank screen and an app 507 error, which means that the wipe has been a success.
    7. Unplug your unit.
    8. On your PC, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common research in Motion\AppLoader. Delete the file in the lower part called vendor.xml.
    9. Connect your device.
    10. In this same folder as shown above, there is an executable file called Loader (has a small telephone next to him). Double click on that and it will start loading your OS.

    You have to reinstall and 3rd party applications you have, keeping in mind that if you're under OS 5 now, some of your applications may not be not compatible with OS 6, in which case you will also need to update those which in addition to the resettlement.

    I have problems connecting my device with the USB cable.  I tried three cables, and while my PC see my Blackberry Bold 9700 and evenb acknowledges his PIN code, it does not synchronize.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software, but to no avail.

    Can anyone help?

    If you have the correct version installed for your operating system (for example. Windows 32/64, Mac, etc.) and you run the program with administrative privileges then the end of the computer should be g2g.

    On the top of my head, you want to make sure that the SD card is not write-protected, otherwise I would just do a backup then a reload of the sw of pocket.

  • BlackBerry Blackberry Bold 9700 Smartphones blocked (or stuck) with 99% of the loading bar HELP!

    Hello world!

    Well, everything is explained in the title, my blackberry bold 9700 is block 99% of the load bar when I reboot it.

    Yesterday I had like 3 or 4 updates to some app and then I reboot but now it's blocked... I try to remove the battery several times, did not work, I try to use alt + shift + del several times, did not work, I try to use BBSAK but the blackberry cannot recognize... I don't know what to do and the worst part is that I did not do backup everything (ok so I'm little kind of stupid, but...)

    In any case of me HELP

    Thank you!

    YES! I found a solution! Working on it since yesterday! It is an application that has been blocked my BB

    So for all of you who have had the same problem here's what I did: I use the AppLoader, you will find cor D, F no matter) / Program Files / Common Files / Research In Motion / AppLoader / loader

    Launch the loader and connect your blackberry to the PC by USB. BUT it must detect the blackberry before the loading bar reach 3/4. So when the blackberry is detected, quickly click Next, then you should have a list of all your applications. Now deselect the application causing problem (or if you don't know which deselect all to remove all) and then click Next. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE LOADING BAR SHOULD NOT SPEND 3/4. After that it's going to be something and if you see that it blocks just to make a reset in now alt + shift + del 2 times, wait, she returned to the loading bar and try again to detect the phone in the AppLoader who does not close during this manipulation... After all, that things blackberry should restart and hope for you, came back to life. So, in my case, I lost all my photos (don't know why), but at least I'm keeping all my contacts and messages. In any case it's better like this than all lost...

    Sorry for my bad English, I think that everything is not really clear, but perhaps that might help someone...
