BlackBerry smartphones no wifi reception

Hi, I just got a Torch 9800 used. When I turn on the wifi, there's no signal one of my local networks. Here at work I should be able to pick up at least 2 networks, but it isn't everything.

I'm not under a data plan on my BB. My old phones (pre & iphone) I just use wifi for my mails and surf plan with no data. Does make a difference with a BB?

Thank you

Ah! Yes, it's important. What I had first suspected, is that your BB doesn't have the Service books required to enable the WiFi feature... but, with this result, it is not the case. Therefore, what can be assumed is a hardware problem, which no amount of effort can overcome. Only a technician with the BB in their hands can make a proper diagnosis. If you stay under warranty, you're looking for that take charge of your place of origin of the purchase, your mobile service provider or your authorized service center - it varies by region, but you should have received the documentation, purchase, explaining your warranty rights and methods.

Good luck!

  • Access to corporate blackBerry Smartphones via wifi if e-mail isn't on a support

    I have a torch 9810 via AT & T. If I turn the cell off the signal and just use wifi, I get all my emails professional very well. Don't need a cellular signal.

    What happens if I cancel AT & T altogether and do not replace it with any carrier. Then I connect my blackberry via wifi to internet. Will I always have the corporate e-mail?

    Part of me said 'Yes', because there is no reason not to. I can turn on the Bberry, connect it via wifi and get email. AT & T is superfluous.

    Part of me said: 'No,' because I don't know, maybe that when I cancel AT & T, Blackberry (the company) "disqualify" me their server (or something) and therefore the phone is a brick.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    BBs legacy (pre-BB10), all BB exclusive services, including e-mail, depended on an active account to BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS). The device itself does not have an email client full... depends on BIS in order to provide messaging functionality. And BIS infrastructure is hosted at carriers and BlackBerry - and is used for your email at any time, regardless of the channel (carrier or WiFi data network) that you have active on your BB.

    So the long and short of it is that if you cancel your BIS account (due to the cancellation of AT & T), your email will stop working (because your BB will no longer be able to communicate with BIS), even if you only use WiFi.

    The BB10 BIS is removed, replaced by a full e-mail on the device... so client, BB10 device can work perfectly for send only via WiFi, because there is no need to talk to BIS. But legacy devices must speak BIS.

    Good luck!

    Edit... I just noticed the use of the word "business". If by that, you mean BES, then the same situation applies always... it is just a story of BES-level (from your carrier) instead of a BIS account which is required for features.

    See you soon!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones put wifi in place.

    I got a torch 9800 (new), and I'll have hard set up any Wi Fi connection.

    I'm a noob to Blackberry, and as I'm used to Nokia phones I'm starting to feel like a Board.

    My problem is when I go into the networks and connections I find only Mobile network and Bluetooth and no WI FI, so I am unable to access my WiFi with my phone at home, or anywhere else for that matter.

    However, when I go into the device and status information, it shows WiFi as being power off.

    If someone has encountered this problem, and if so how to solve?

    Are you sure this device is ' new? It is possible that there was a COMPUTER policy on restricting access wifi. Follow instructions on the link below to reset the unit to factory settings.

  • HELP blackBerry Smartphones: 9320 - Wifi connected but no internet

    Could someone help me solve this problem? Thank you

    Hello

    When you say that your WiFi is connected, I assume you mean that the WiFi symbol is white, correct? If so, there are a number of things to try. First of all, I would like to start by rebooting your device. To do this, remove the battery for 15-30 seconds, reinsert and wait for the device to reboot.

    Once you have done this, if it still doesn't work, go to your options of WiFi and remove the connection from your phone. Reboot the phone by using a battery pull and then reconnect to the WiFi network. If it still does not respond, you may need to check your router settings to make sure that your router is to give access to your BlackBerry. If you need assistance with this, please post back with the brand and the model number of your router.

    I hope this info helps!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones using wifi instead of internet through your operator?

    Hi I recently bought a blackberry 9000 "BOLD" and I have a service plan that does not include the internet. is there a way I can use my wireless internet and have the internet carrier off so I won't have the opportunity to use the internet carrier so I don't get charged?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones via WiFi without BIS email?

    I am considering buying a Blackberry and I want to know if it is possible to use e-mails via the WiFi functionality in some Blackberry phones without having to subscribe to the Blackberry Internet Service. I use Outlook for work and would like to be able to send/receive when in a WiFi area. Is this possible?

    I can't use WiFi to access my Outlook mail without subscribing to BIS?

    OK, you need the BIS account to access Outlook

    The only way to check this e-mail is to use some kind of portal through the Navig while on WiFi?

    Fix them too.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Twitter, wifi, browser problem!

    Hello! I am having trouble, please, if someone can help me... !

    Thing is: until yesterday I could surf the web and access my Twitter (I have the Twitter app and a "quick search with Google" app), but today, when I tried to update my Twitter account I started to have an error that says: "a service book for the IPPP is not found." In addition, the Google app does not work.

    I checked under options / advanced / etc, etc... and the Twitter service book is there.

    Also did a restart (out the water while the phone was on)

    Checked under 'Manage connections' and WiFi turned on, with a green tick just next door.

    So, everything seems like it should work, but it is not... any ideas?

    (Everything else works fine. i.e. bbm, mail, whatsapp, etc.)

    Thanks in advance!

    Tues-

    First return your service books.  Just because he says that it is there, it could be damaged.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones have wifi but no IP address (Status: IP address is no longer valid)

    Dear experts,

    I can connect my Pearl 9100 to my home Wi - Fi network, but I can't connect to the internet.  For example, when I run the browser, I get the message «Unable to connet to the Internet...» ».

    I can see on my router that Pearl has been assigned an IP address DHCP vi (just as one would expect).

    Of "manage connections / Options Wi - Fi profiles registered Wi - Fi to select my profile / tools WiFi / Wi - Fi Diagnostics ' I see that" Local IP address: "is empty and that"status: IP address is no longer valid"

    I assume something is wrong on the bead, because it does not accept the TCP/IP configuration served to him by my server DHCP (my wireless router).

    Someone at - it recommendations for helping me solve this problem?

    Here are a few other details to consider:

    All other wireless devices work on my home Wi - Fi network, including a Blackberry Bold 9780 running OS 6.

    My Pearl 9100 has OS v.5.0.0.748.  This is an operating system updated Blackberry specific to my carrier (Bell), of the 5.0.0.604 OS, which came on the device.

    I don't have a data plan on my Blackberry (you may think it strange, but well, it's the way I want it).  The Bold 9780 which has connected to my home Wi - Fi network has either a data plan.  The absence of a data plan should not be a problem because all I need an Internet connection for is the occasional use of the browser when a Wi - Fi connection is available for free.

    Thank you in advance for any advice, tips or pointers.

    Hey - I found the solution:

    Options / Mobile Network / Data Services - change from 'OFF' to 'ON '.

    I guess I was mistaken in thinking that "Data Services" should only be enabled if you have a data plan.

    Maybe this will help you more...

  • BlackBerry Smartphones on WiFi browser does not...

    Hello..

    I ran some tests to see check the speed of my browser on my home network on ATT.  When I turn off the Mobile network and turn the wifi to my home network, I get an error in my browser "you are not currently in an area that can handle the communication of data.

    I've successfully connected to my home network, as evidenced by the situation on the top of the home screen.  Is there one other setting I need to select to "force" the use of my network domestic?  I used to have this in my "BOLD" settings under options in the browser, but from what I've read the connection switch is supposed to happen automatically on the browser of the torch.

    Any help would be great!

    THX.

    I was running into the same problem and found that when we talk of a technician of the AT & T if you go to your icon 'Manage the connection', click on 'Set Up Wi - Fi network', highlight and click on 'Saved Wi - Fi networks', this will open your existing networks that are available and you have the possibility to move your networks available in any order you want.  Now with the network connection, it will search in the order of your networks available in the list and I personally found that my house and AT & T Wi - Fi was low on the list of available networks and once I moved to the top two solved this problem on don't slow no connection for me.

    Now my problem that I find the "internet / browser" is that I have to zoom in several times on each page to display.  I tried to load several different browsers and to my dismay, no charge, any suggestions on this issue.

    Great, thank you.  So if I have the WiFi turned on and connected to a network, that it will automatically connect.

    Is it possible to check which connection is used?  Internationally, I do so I want to be sure, I don't hit with data charges.

    If the WiFi light is white light, it works correctly.

    If you are traveling internationally and connecte connected to a WiFi hotspot, turn off your Mobile network, leave ON your data Services and you will suffer no roaming data.

  • Mail envelopes blackBerry Smartphones at the reception in direct connect calls

    Hello all, new to the forum!  Frustrated and look for the answerman! My carrier replaced my Blackberry 8350i with another assuming that was the problem.

    Well, when I get directly connect calls and do not answer them immediately and receive other calls Direct Connect, the message envelope accumulates 1 for one, whenever I get a new Direct Connect. But after completing the message counter does not and continues to accumulate Direct Connect calls and only Direct Connect calls. Emails, sms and others disappear or subtracted from the total after reading them. When I "clean up" the call directory is empty but the message envelope counter does not reset.

    1. message counter accumulates ONLY when direct connect through Sprint calls received

    2. I have not found a method to eliminate memory except by removing the battery

    3 deletion of call logs does not solve the problem

    4. the old Blackberry and other has the problem

    5. the latest version of the software loaded

    This can be corrected? It seems to me like a software problem? I have the latest updates of software loaded with no improvement.

  • Browser blackBerry Smartphones - using Wifi or GPRS?

    Hello

    I am a long time BB user, but the "BOLD" is new to me and so is WIFI connectivity.

    Ive searched this forum but could not find a definitive answer...

    With the Wifi turned on Mobile network, browse the internet always will use the Wifi connection in priority when it is available?

    Even if I have a data plan, speed is my problem as I am not in a 3g area so obviously that WiFi is more preferable to GPRS.

    I can't find a setting to set the priority for WiFi connections on Mobile network, or is this priority of connection integrated in the firmware?

    Thanks in advance

    Matt

    IF the WiFi connection is available, the unit will initially use WiFi.
