Questions on Wifi blackBerry Smartphones

Where I am (until they get the fixed cell tower, he was struck by a tornado) cellular service is mediocre. On a good day, I could have 3 bars, but it is usually around 1 bar. Makes very slow navigation. Now, maybe it's my imagination (please tell me if it is) but when I turn on my wifi (I have dsl with router and have put my phone for her) fast playback speed is faster, so I guess I'm on wifi connections and network navigation. (I have a data plan) Am I correct in assuming that?

That being said, when I leave the House and I know there is no wifi available, I try to remember to turn off the wifi because I'm afraid that if my phone is looking for a wifi connection, it will be hard on the battery. Am I correct in this assumption?

I have this phone including in a life more or less. Tell you what, the technology must slow down. My old brain can't follow.

Not only correct. It is possible to configure a browser which network to use.

    Hi even1etter and welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums!

    To avoid switching between available networks, remove your Wi - Fi registered the "secure" network networks  Go in manage connections, select the Wi - Fi network, and select saved Wi - Fi networks.  Highlight your 'secure' network, press the menu key and select Remove.

    The BlackBerry smartphone will only transfer connections to saved Wi - Fi networks.

    Thank you.

  • My menu wifi blackBerry smartphones is broken

    My menu wifi is broken and rely on the wifi network menu... only an empty box with exclamation is delivered with an ok in it.

    Works previously configured and saved wifi.

    Please give a solution to this.

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • WiFi blackBerry Smartphones Curve 9300 3 problem

    Hi, I recently got my first Blackberry - a 9300 3.

    It seems impossible to connect to my home network via WiFi. I've implemented the BB with a manual setting that I have a non-broadcast SSID and password is correct. My router is a Netgear DG834GT. I have a laptop connected via WiFi so I don't know the router, WiFi & DSL is all operational.

    I can sporadically, but not systematically, ping the router of the BB, but I can't ping a web address (for example google.com). I can't ping the BB from my PC, but an IP Scanner confirms that the BB is on the network.

    My career has suggested a reboot, reinstall the firmware and turn WiFi off & on - everything I did.

    I'm very knowledgeable PC, reasonably network aware, but a complete newbie to BB and smartphones.

    Any ideas?

    Well, I've sorted - or rather Geek Squad pointed me the right direction.

    It seems that the phone does not like the standard security WPA - PSK Protocol. While the router is recognized, the phone cannot communicate through the router.

    Change the wireless security protocol on the router to WPA2-PSK has solved the problem. Of course, if you do this you must also change the Security Protocol on all your other devices on the wireless network, or else they may not work.

  • Question of the blackBerry Smartphones Blackberry ID on "BOLD" again.

    I changed to a BB BOLD 9900, can't remember the password to my ID and have no idea what the answer to the security question. My camera said go online and I can reset the password with the duty to remember the security question. I can't do it, he wants the issue of security. Now he has locked me twice. Help, please!

    Thanks for the clarification...

    I passed to the KB26361 and followed the process, it says. Always BB wants a password recovery question answered.

    Well, you used, regarding this KB, the word "process", which is the singular form of the word. However, that particular KB contains multiple processes, so I can't say with certainty if you continued through it to the specific method for failing to provide the answer to the security question, with the 'Note', it contains regarding the absence of having already (in the past) confirmed the BB ID... and, if no, then indeed the security issue cannot be circumvented.

    Please specify if you have indeed found and tried this specific section in this KB.

    davcolpitts wrote:

    I don't know what it means the Blackberry ID has not confirmed. How can it be confirmed when it was used on the old BB.

    When you create a BBID account, you will receive an email, with a link that you must click to confirm your account (in order to validate, for the system, which you are actually available on this email address). But, if you ignore this request for confirmation, you don't stop using your BBID... for various purposes, but this effect (to automatically recover access to your BBID) is indeed blocked unless you know the answer to the Security Question you created originally (as part of the validation of identity, to ensure that you are who you claim to be).

    Since you can now connect in your BBID from anywhere (for example, PC/browser), you can now check the status of your BBID confirmation. Until you solve the access to your BBID, you can't do anything with it now. BBID, like all things BB, is very safe... but the human component is critical for safety. When the human component fails, there is only so that the automatic recovery process can do to help... and you seem to be in a situation that is beyond what those automated recovery process can do.

  • QUESTIONS of BBM blackBerry Smartphones (9300)

    Hello!

    I want to ask you if the BBM requires a plan of a network provider or can be free to use wifi?

    I just upgraded my BBM and tried setting up, but after like step 2, it seems just empty. I tried to plug in on my facebook, but it tells me that my radio is off and I need to turn first. I don't know even what 'radio' the thing speaks!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello miochan984

    Yes, we must... use BlackBerry Messenger and many other BlackBerry applications on our BlackBerry devices we need a specific Plan of BlackBerry data / BIS of our carrier or service provider of network even in wifi.

    Once you enable it, you can use these apps on your mobile network as well as on the wifi with no problems.

  • Wifi blackBerry Smartphones Blackberry application

    Hello

    I'm trying to troubleshoot an end user with a problem, he saw. This particular user has had his invalid SIM card and only uses the Outlook on Blackberry via WiFi feature. He said that it connects at its connection to the home or the spot on his Samsung phone. Once it is connected to wifi, his mailbox and the calendar.

    Since last Friday, his mailbox has not been updated. I was told by colleagues that it is not possible to access your e-mail in this mode, but this user is using this method for several months.

    Please someone can confirm if it is actually possible to do this, or what could be causing the synchronization fails.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With the BlackBerry, the native Messages app can work with an e-mail account if there is adequate data of a business plan. Natively, email on a BB is an enhanced service, requiring the use of some such servers hosted by carriers and BlackBerry - without a correct data account, access to these servers is denied and this email does not work via the application Messages.

    Often, carriers are slow to cancel things... I think in this situation is that it was active on this card SIM at a time in the past, and the carrier has recently "caught up" cancel those who use the services for which they do not pay.

    Good luck!

  • Question from Newbie blackBerry Smartphone memory card

    I have recently entered the world of BB and am happy with my curve 8330 from Sprint. I am down encryption and have scoured all the online info, I can find as well as the manual. I'm barely scratching the surface of all uses and features, and while I am old guy when it comes to computers (50) and am not an expert, I'm not afraid of technology either and am eager to learn. I have a few simple questions (I hope) that I could use some help/advice for.

    (1) the BB came with a 1 GB card and I also bought a 2 GB card. If I want to change the 2 GB card, I have to do and what items/app will be affected by the swap? I'm not sure if the BB has an internal memory and the memory card, and what exactly is used to by the BB memory card. And what are the benefits to upgrade me to the 2 GB card;

    (2) If an email I rec'v has an attachment which is a video, I can't play (although no problems with photo attachments) is at - it an app I want to download on the BB for videos, and if so how can I do this and where to get the application? I've never downloaded an app on the BB before and am not sure exactly how do;

    (3) is at - he an advtage to connect to a Wifi hotspot from your mobile operator in some cases and my 8330 allows a wifi connection and how do I configure it if so.

    Thanks for anyadvice and help that you can lend... I'm new to this but am fascinated by the possibilities.

  • Email from abroad on wifi blackBerry Smartphones

    Can I use the services of electronic mail by the default application abroad via wifi to save the coast of roaming?

    Thank you.

    You can use your BlackBerry® via Wi - Fi to overseas services to save money on roaming charges.  I recommend turning off your Mobile network option to ensure that your data services do not connect roaming.

  • Question deleted BBM blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello.

    I have looked on the internet and was unable to find an answer to my question and the RIM returned to my e-mail and directed me to this forum.

    My question is whether delete BBM messages can be retrieved from the backend to the police if they have a warrant or other order of the Court (for example, a production order).  I know that once the user can not recovered their the BBM messages are deleted, I wonder whether or not law enforcement can recover for a file, they are working on that.

    If anyone knows the answer I'll be very grateful.

    Thank you!

    BlackBerry Messenger messages are stored locally on the device that received the message. These messages are not stored on a remote server any.

    Once the message is removed from the device, it is gone and cannot be reterived.

    See you soon,.

  • My wifi blackBerry smartphones does not work

    (Sorry if I put this in the wrong place, I'm new).

    Just a little background - my phone was * completely * fuck for more than a week after he had a nice bathroom, but yesterday it worked perfectly, including the WiFi. Today ' today-no WiFi. My computer is always online, so it's not for lack of the router, but the phone tells me that it cannot obtain an IP address. It is also said that it does not connect to the Blackberry Infrastructure, when I check the WiFi Diagnostics. I have given on my monthly plan and I can still use the phone, but my WiFi was faster and did eat my data allowances. More than that, however, I'm just irritated, it does not work. Anyone know what I can do?

    Ah! Forget, restarted my router, everything is fine now. Should have tried that first, really.
