BlackBerry Smartphones use BB without using Outlook

• BlackBerry Smartphones use Storm 2 as PDA WiFi-Connected (without telephone service)?

  RESOLVED:
  See the second post in this thread for the solution (thanks to wiggler forum member)

  ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

  [I know I am a "retarded" for even bringing this place, but we'll just go beyond the part and talk about what I really want to know here ]

  My wife and I went to an Android (Bionic) for me and an iPhone (4 s) for her. However, his old phone (Storm 2) has recently been replaced because his former 1 storm went wrong on her... and now, since my father thought finally get something to replace his old (not to mention, broken and unusable) Palm device, we thought we might as well give him the Storm 2 and see if it'll work out for what he wants.

  Here's the deal about my father and his PDA... already has a cell phone, so he won't move up to a smart phone, because he does not want to pay the extra money every month just to get a PDA phone when he probably never really use the data service much and all that.

  He wants a phone just to be a phone, and he also wants a PDA... just for the PDA part.

  So, I thought, very well... If he is not willing to move completely in the modern era, then we can at least give him something he can synchronize with Outlook (it works... I already tried) to have its calendar and contacts with him all the time (which it is not able to do with his simple mobile).

  So what I know is that it's possible, at least in a very limited sense... I have the Storm 2 sync with Outlook.
  However, here's my problem... for a reason, even if the wifi card appears to connect to the wifi here in their home access point, it is not actually get an IP address and can't get out on the internet with the browser integrated into all.

  My question is this...
  Is it because it is not possible (i.e. RIM has configured to disable the card wifi within the unit while there is no mobile phone service connected), or who should run, and I should watch more in the sense of something wrong at the level of the home network?

  The reason why I think that it could be something awkward like that within the device itself, it is my new Android and iPhone of the wife are able to connect to the network wireless home here very well.

  Sorry for such a long thing, goofy needs help, but I thought it is a good starting point. If anyone has ideas and is willing to help, please chime.

  p.s. I am a computer scientist. So I have that aspect covered... at least you do not work with a complete * beep * if you jump here.

  I thought about it. I did a search on google for the specific message I saw in 'wi - fi tools' (which was "no longer valid"ip address ") and found this thread...

• Switching devices blackBerry Smartphones using the Desktop Manager

  I just got my Torch 9800 replacement since my first only the battery was drainning (apparently a common problem).

  Until I returned my old Torch 9800 I backed up and also used the device switch option in Desktop Manager. When it asked me to connect the new device, I unplugged the old camera, he took to the shop orange and then plugged my new camera.

  Then an error has occurred and asked me to update the software on the new device. I did it... and then when I use switching devices, it asks me to connect the current device but the problem is... I don't have the camera more.

  As I backed up all the data, I did a restore. He restored most of the data, but it has not restored my apps.

  Any idea on how I can do?

  I hope it is interesting all that.... and I get a better battery life this time!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Ah... never mind. While the device switch Wizard can indeed move a few apps, the backup/restore process does not have applications. So, in the State you are in, you must go to the source of your applications and re - get them. If you by AppWorld, the process is very smooth:

  • KB17625 How to install or transfer has already purchased apps from BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry smartphone

  If you have from other sources, then you should see if these sources are a simple way for you. I hope you have good record of all your activation keys... and some will indeed have to be regenerated some developers to attach the key on the BB SPINDLE, which is now different since you have a new device.

  Good luck!

• Need for blackBerry Smartphones to synchronize with MS Outlook backup the old files

  Hello

  I'm kinda stuck with my Blackberry Bold 9700.  He wiped my old entries in the calendar (even though I have "Keep forever" selected in options), but I need the calendar last points because I used it for the follow-up of meetings, events, etc.

  Before you reinstall an old backup, copy in Outlook and then re - install my current version is there any how else to get this info on the file backup and in Outlook.  I really want to install a previous version of the backup on my phone because when I do, he never wears on a large number of the phone ringing, settings, etc., and I still need to do to get things to normal.

  Help, please!

  (By the way, I use an older version of the device software on my phone (5.0.0.714) because I can't stand display new calendar version.)

  If you do want to restore a previous backup schedule, you can - calendar only, nothing else.

• 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 when you save in outlook, it save your documents on card?

  was wondering if anyone knew. a shame to waste all my .doc files if it is not

  Ah... Ok... Manually... and I think this goes for 3rd party applications as well. DTM backup databases of Basic... see this KB:

  KB03974 Databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

  What I do is to maintain a list of 3rd party apps I have installed on my BB. Because I'm "attention to detail", I still maintain this list of things that I got via AppWorld or other sources that maintain their own list of what I have bought/installed. I also maintain a manual backup to my PC which is on my map of media - now it's easy since it is simply my entire library of music, videos, and only a few documents of any type. But your use may vary.

  Hope that helps!

• BlackBerry Smartphones can not Sync past Outlook appointment with my new Blackberry 9300

  OK, so I have my new curve and I love it.  Problem is that I can't seem to synchronize my outlook appointment old no matter what I try.  I put the old store never entered and tried re sync.  Does not work.  I tried everything I can possibly think.  I am using the new 6 blackberry desktop software that is different from the one which seemed to be easier to use.  I also use outlook 2007 with a business email account.  Help, please.

  Finally managed to do work.  I removed all my computer Blackberry Desktop software.  Apparently, I had a couple of previous versions.  Deleted the latest version 6.0 as well.  Restarted my computer and downloaded the desktop software 6.0 again and installed it.  This time, when I was setting up the configuration settings it gave me the option when I clicked on the calendar to load from outlook, to load all appointments (instead of a just future) and also to choose a way to transfer.  Also done with the contacts option.  Sync and hop all my latest appointments.  Returned in the configuration on the desktop software settings and set it to sync both calendar and contacts in the future.  Wish I thought that it was a matter of software of office a long time ago and not only certain setting in the device blackberry itself.  Lost so much time on it.  O well good go now I hope this helps someone else.

• Address book to blackBerry Smartphones to synchronize with MS Outlook

  I have synced my MS Outlook Contact list with my BB Curve 8330.  All my contacts are showing in my BB, but they are not in alphabetical order.  I have the BB address book set to sort by last name.  For example, when I look at my BB address book, contacts appear in the following order: A to F, then he starts A to P, then m to Z.  None of the contacts are repeated.  Can someone help me understand what the problem is?

  I would do the following:

  To delete all contacts from the BlackBerry device, follow these steps:

  1. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer and launch the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
  2. Double-click on the backup and restore, and then click Advanced.
  3. Under device databases, select address book and click clear.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Refresh to verify that the address book database is disabled.

  Take an as shown battery pull and recharge from Outlook.

• Curve of blackBerry Smartphones used to synchronize with outlook

  I had my phone for about 2 months with no problems.  I tried to sync the BB through the USB port on my Outlook calendar.  It goes to a certain folder and no synchronization.  The program of the break, then he must stop State.

  I tried to reinstall the software, take the battery and try again.  Now, the Director of bureau says that there is no device connected, when the phone is in effect.  It is connected through the same USB cable and port, as always with success, I used.  The device shows that it is load and connected via USB, and I can use the card out of holder, which means to me that the computer recognizes the device, but the Desktop Manager is not.

  I also tried to delete all of the rim as shown in another post on the Board of Directors, and this solution didn't or didn't help.

  Help!  Thank you!

  I think I can understand the problem.

  I have indeed restart the computer, and I use only a USB cord, not a docking station.

  Here's what I think I've found somehow.  BlackBerry dislikes Outlook folders with weird things in the note section (i.e.. Attachments or html links).  There is a calendar folder that I noticed that I added when this happened.  He had an html link in the section notes.  After removing the link in this article, I did the following:

  (1) use the Blackberry software disk and completely uninstall the Desktop Manager

  (2) battery Blackberry tour and take 1 minute.

  (3) when the battery is out of Blackberry, reinstall Office Manager.

  (4) restart the computer.

  (5) replace the battery and turn on BlackBerry.

  (6) run Desktop Manager

  (7) select synchronization > Configuration tab > Reset Configuration - this tab closing button

  (8) reconnect the Blackberry with the USB cable.

  (9) sync Outlook calendar

  Seems to work!  If all goes well it will continue to work, but if not, I'll let you know.  Thanks for the questions!  Hope this helps someone else.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using Bold 9700 without business service

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  To use the Push RIM owner messaging capability, you must have an adequate data of your carrier plan. Carriers host BIS BB users. In general, BIS is not available through generic data plans. Several ships make stop what is needed the Blackberry data plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier that delivers BIS users of BB - contact - the for assistance. Once you have a compatible BIS data plan on your BB (fees regardless of your carrier will charge, btw), then you will have personal email added to the e-mail Setup Wizard.

  Good luck!

• 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 Can you synchronize all Outlook folders on a Blackberry "BOLD" using Microsoft Exchange?

  Hi, I use a Blackberry "BOLD" to view my Inbox, but I would love to see my other folders, including my spam folder. Is it possible to do? I do not use the Blackberry Exchange Server (BES) - I am using Microsoft Exchange.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  FYI - BES = Blackberry Enterprise Solution (or server)... it is not strictly for the Exchange...

  Use of the file is a feature of BES. So if you use it, then it is not available.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using the 8300 BB as a PDA with Verizon

  I was considering buying a BB 8330 with the express purpose to have the PDA features.  I don't want to connect to the e-mail or use the internet features.  I don't want to connect to my computer via the USB port and the calendar, phone book and contacts in my Outlook file and all of the notes that I add as I do now with an older Palm Pilot PDA.  Verizon is telling me that I need an additional data package in order to transfer data between the computer and the BB.  Is this correct?  Can I use the BB as an independent PDA service Verizon 8330?

  In addition, my Palm has the ability to transfer a Wrod or computer Excell file and edit it and post it on the PDA.  The 8330 will do that?

  Is a software that comes with the Smartphone needed and available to allow these functions?

  Again, all I want from Verizon is the telephony service.  All this I want to do it through USB and the computer.

  Your answer will determine if I buy the BBs as Christmas gifts for my wife and myself or stick with my old phone and get a new PDA to stand alone.  Thank you for your help in making this decision.

  Harold

  But not what I wanted to hear, he confirmed my question.  The real loss here is BlackBerry with a customer lost through Verizon.  I can not afford any additional service and will not pay use features that should not even involve the telephone operator.

  Thank you all for your answers.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using the calendar/Agenda when you don't have a data plan.

  Hi all, I just got a BB Curve 9320 model to replace my LG dead.  I use the phone for my convenience only but I fondly I remember my old Palm Pilot and it's wonderful calendar application that allows me to keep track of my life and where I was supposed to be and when.  I had hoped that the curve would be able to do the same thing with its calendar function.  I thought that using the BB desktop and connect my laptop to enable them to communicate that I would have the same function, like the Palm Pilot has made in my previous life of the curve.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to operate than I had imagined... I do something bad or without the data plan is - it simply not possible?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  What is wrong is your waiting... what you expect is not a feature designed... a few things to discuss... so bear with me...

  Unlike other how things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  So, to do what you want requires the use of a desktop PIM for your data... Choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then, enter your data in the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:
