• Palm Pre Plus vs Palm Pre Plus black

  Hello!

  I'm considering buying a Palm Pre Plus with Verizon service.  I've also seen a Palm Pre Plus Black.  Anyone know what's the difference between the two?  If there is a difference, which one is better?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello Mindy and welcome on the fourms Palm.

  I'm not sure that there is a difference.  All Palm Pre and Pixi phones come in only one color: black.

  Mr. Henry Ford would be proud.

• Help free a Palm pre Plus from AT & T!

  Hello

  I am new to the forum and also how a phone is currently open.

  I just got my Palm Pre Plus new bought at AT & T USA with our commitment, it now turns out, it is locked and there are new without any profile.

  As I live in Thailand where the phone will be used with a local SIM card and a map.

  I tried via Nextgen server to unlock the phone with the success, so I need some help now.

  Been able to boot into recovery mode and run webOS doctor.

  Now the problem is how do I run the bypass activation tool?

  If I put my local SIM the phone net work pin code request, which, I think I should get through the Nextgen Server tool?

  Hope someone can guide me step by step.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi fats,

  Welcome to the Palm Forums! Then, because you bought an ATT phone, it is locked to ATT. At this point, you have 2 choices. You can call ATT and get the unlock code (which they will give you as long you don't owe them any $$$) or return the phone and purchase a phone unlocked live HP/Palm.

  Regardless of the method you choose, you should be able to use your local SIM card.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Verizon without data?

  I have a Curve 8310 and a Bold 9650.  I use very little ot my package data and would like to block data through Verizon and just pay for phone service.  I like both phones, but can't justify the additional cost.  I blocked data on phones of my children (two PARENTS and a phone data LG loan).  Verizon told me that they "can't" block data for these phones.  Is this true?  Why?  These phones are unusable without data?  I can't get updates to the computer?  Please enlighten me.  Thank you

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  BBs without data plans are, IMHO, near useless, and not useful to have. There are just too many services that they depend on a data plan that is appropriate for the feature. But, having said that, there is nothing on the BB himself who said: he cannot work as just a phone without a data plan. However, each company has its own policies and procedures... it is quite possible that VZW will not allow a BB on their network without a correct data... plan and being their network, they have every right to have such a policy.

  Good luck!

• Charger Palm Pre Plus for AT & T

  Nice day

  I'm about to GET a & AT T Palm Pre Plus (P ^ 3). However, I don't live in the United States. It seems that I get the activation and unlocking installs pretty easily, but I am curious about the charger. I will also use the touchstone charger.

  It is the image of the charger that comes with the Pre.

  

  I see that it uses the A-type connector to the United States. Where I live, we use the British type g plug (in fact, all the technical features are identical to the British Standard).

  So the more important question is, assuming I can get a form of adaptation, it will work with the sockets 230V here? As in, are they auto detection and can switch from 110V to 230V?

  I know also, Palm has an international charger but if she is able to switch, might as well use a simple adapter.

  Thank you.

  Looking at the map in my hand, it says clearly, ' input: 120-240 / 50-60 Hz.

  Looks like you'll be good to go with a physical card!

• New Palm used Palm Pre profile

  Hello

  I bought a used Palm Pre (Movistar, YOU) and now want to create a new Palm profile so I can use the phone in Australia (Optus, at THE).

  How to set up a new Palm profile on this phone?

  He is currently running WebOS 1.4

  Thank you

  Nick

  Regarding the hacks and things of this nature, it is something that we cannot help here.

  Since the unit locked up on screen language then we would need to restart the device. If this does not resolve the issue, then you will need to use webOS Doctor on the device. Reason for this step is there is no way at this stage of the journal of the unit to do a partial/full erase.

• How to do an http Basic by wifi connection just without data plan?

  Ok. Here's the situation: I have developed an application that makes a connection http Basic (connector.open (url)). It woks fine on Simulator course since it uses the mds Simulator. I'm targeting os 5 and above. Now I started to test on the actual device (curve 9300). The real problem is how can I go out with just a default connection. I mean a generic that doesn't care what type of transport, the phone has and uses only the default. As you know has 9300 WiFi. So hopefully I should be able to connect using my wifi at home. On the phone, I can establish connection wifi fine. The phone's browser do not allow through well. He complains: (error! wifi detected...) We are not able to authenticate you as you are not currently a Rogers... Please turn off your wifi connection, and launch your browser to try again). Well, if it means that I'm not on Rogers, it is not correct, as my base phone package is with Rogers, the SIM set in the phone. I tried his suggestion and of course, it does not work!

  What encourages me that it should work in principle, but I have two phone applications (Opera mini and google map) who are able to go online and make the connection.

  I tried to use a combination of parameters attached to the url, as follows:

  1. just by default without any parameter

  2 - deviceside = true

  3 - deviceside = true; = wifi interface

  I also experimented with different options on options tcp apn:

  1 disabling APN setting

  2-activation parameter APN with internet.com, with comments from user and password

  setting of AFN 3 activation internet.com with wapuser1 and wap for the user name and password.

  To "manage connections", I have the following question similarly checked:

  -Network mobile Rogers...

  Dlink_RezaNetwork - Wi - Fi...

  -BlueTooth feature is disabled

  I wonder out exactly the Mobile network connection? I guess that's my basic phone plan puts online. I will be happy if that's the case for my app by there rather than the wifi connection if that is indeed what Opera mini and google map. But sorry to disappoint you, because even if I disable the first connection (i.e. Mobile network Rogers...) I am still able to use these two apps without problem! It makes me happy because it difinitely says I should be able to go online using only my wifi without data plan!

  On connection icons at the top of the phone to the right, I see the following

  Rogers - dlink.RezaNetwork 3 G (icon of the resistance)

  WiFi

  As you can see, my phone is connected to the wifi in my house.

  Anyway, after all this detail, anyone know if there is a solution to this problem? I mean google map and Opera Mini are able to go online without problem.

  In full respect, please don't refer me to read this or that doc I did those before you come and ask questions. But even if there is a doc that you think really go to address above concerns more precisely I'll gladly read

  I use eclipse for development and just well on Simulator.

  This is the result I get when I run the app through the eclipse on the device:

  (1) for the case when only a Wifi connection is enabled on the device connector.open (url) is called with no additional parameters, I get the error: net.rim.device.internal.io.criticalioexception: required radio isn't avtive.

  (2) for the case with wifi interface parameter defined as follows:

  String connStr = _theUrl + "; interface = wifi. "
  s = (connStr) Connector.open (StreamConnection);
  HttpConnection httpConn s = (HttpConnection);
  InputStream input = s.openInputStream ();

  There is no error reported, even though I capture all the exceptions of open(). But the stream returned is always empty!

  Thanks again.

  Just an update:

  The problem took over the redirect. It was a subject, I admit, I was quite familiar with. So, once read on responses from http status, the solution was easy. Also is it possible to simply use the wifi connection for http connections in the code. The build in the browser is another story and it depends on how the connection preferences are managed internally by the os and carrier I suppose, but lance in the code browser works very well, with just wifi traffic.

• 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.

• How to set static IP on Verizon iPad data Plan?

  Hello

  We strive to set up a static IP address on several iPads so they can access a secure on a Verizon data plan Web site. I watched all the videos and went through all the directions I can google and I'm still without a solution. For each solution, in my opinion, it is said to go into the settings > cellular/cell data > cellular data network and click the APN tab to add the information. There is no option cellular data on any of our Verizon data devices.

  

  I called Verizon and Apple support to see how to get this option appears and it was transferred blame game back two hours. In the end, I was told that we need to create a profile of AFN via Apple Configurator 2 or AirWatch. I tried to create the two and to my knowledge, neither work. Or I do not know where the APN tab appears with the profile of the AFN. The only information provided to AFN by Verizon is "MW01. VZWSTATIC ". The ipads are on iOS 9.2.1.

  So here's what I have for our profile Apple Configurator 2 APN.

  

  If anyone has had this problem before and knows a solution you'd make my year!

  Thank you!

• 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!

• An other 'Wifi without data plan"blackBerry smartphones Question - Rogers Canada

  Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and blackberries in general... Please bear with me.

  I am a student. Currently, I have a voice plan base on a LG Xenon with Rogers in the Canada. It includes minutes and unlimited texting. Enough for me.

  I am looking to buy a Blackberry Curve 3 G/9300 off someone. I just want to throw my SIM in there so I can use my normal plan with the phone. My understanding is that I can phone Rogers and tell them to block all data, if I get no charge on my Bill. Fine. However, I also understand that the 9300 is a wi - fi phone.

  Let's say that I get the 9300, contact Rogers and tell them to block all data on my plan.
  Can I still use my browser in a Wi - Fi hotspot? How should I do? (I know that I read somewhere that you need to configure to be about to access and not talkspot... If someone could help me with this that would be great).

  Also, I read that, so that I am still able to use a wi - fi connection, I need to have data 'on' in the phone. If the data is 'on' in the phone, but I've blocked data with Rogers, can I still use a wi - fi connection? This would prevent the costs of data on my Bill?

  In addition, I understand that I will not be able to receive multimedia messages without a data plan. Once again, if I'm in a wi - fi hotspot... Can I receive these messages from photos?

  I'm sure it's a question very well known and well hated to you all and I'm really sorry to ask, but I just need some clarification. I don't want to be stuck with a big Bill with I ever intend on paying data charges. If someone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you very much!

  Also, I read that, so that I am still able to use a wi - fi connection, I need to have data 'on' in the phone. If the data is 'on' in the phone, but I've blocked data with Rogers, can I still use a wi - fi connection?

  In addition, I understand that I will not be able to receive multimedia messages without a data plan. Once again, if I'm in a wi - fi hotspot... Can I receive these messages from photos? No only simple navigation cannot be made and Pandora can be used in mode Wi - Fi.

• Travel - iMessage without data Plan?

  I'm on a long trip and having some problems with my iDevices and missing my laptop... but anyway...   I had a local with a minutes and SMS plan Sim Card, but the data is too expensive so I gave.

  I wish I could iMessage (send and receive) while WiFi, like many friends use iMessage.  I would also like to SMS while not on WiFi because I have not a data plan and SMS is the only way I can communicate (cheap).

  Is this possible?  I met problems with messages from people that I sent SMS as their response goes into my account to iMessage.

  Also, I tried to disable iMessage just mysteriously turn during the night, for some reason any.  Why we do this?  Is it because I'm on iMessage on my iPad?  iReally have no idea.

  Any help clarifying just how I can make communication work with my iDevices would be appreciated.  I don't want to have to buy a burner not expensive to connect Android phone.

  Thank you!!

  iMessage will certainly work over wifi just fine, no matter where.  iMessage only requires an Internet connection, but doesn't care if it's wifi data or cell - so no cellular data but wifi is fine.

  SMS texts however, by definition, require a cellular telephone and the service.  They do not use a wifi or cellular data channel.  Specifically, they are nailed to a small unused portion of cell vocal range.  The only way to send SMS texts through wifi would be to use a middle-tier application or a web service, or to use the e-mail and send to e-mail recipients specific carrier SMS gateway.

• Push without data Plan Blackberry messages

  Please guide me that how can I receive Messages to push without Blackberry data plan, currently I am able to receive Push Messages with Blackberry data Plan activated through BIS.

  (1) having Blackberry data Plan
  (2) voting at bottom permanently OR intermittently.

• BlackBerry smartphones does pine bb without data plan? No polls bbm, just the msg of the real axis

  Thank you very much!!!

• Palm Pre Plus 3 G Mobile Hotspot guard fall Ubuntu 9.10 (Verizon)

  Well, it could be that Ubuntu keeps dropping the Hotspot...

  I just got the Pre, and set up the point.  I am able to connect to the hotspot with Ubuntu 9.10, Win XP and Win 7 without a hitch using WPA/WPA2 Personal or open connections.  The service is slow on XP, but not bad on Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

  The problem is that when you use Ubuntu, the Pre is constantly connect and disconnect the computer.  Running windows 7 on the same machine works very well.   All my projects and Ubuntu and I need internet access.  I use Windows to test.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.
