[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Hi, I have done a lot of searching on this topic, but haven't been able to find anything definitive on the best way to install blackberry connect. I am about to pick up a Siemens SX66 (Cingular version, but will be using on Tmobile) and want to make sure that I will be able to get the blackberry functionality to work.

I have a few questions/comments/observations that I would love to get everyones feedback on. If there something out there that explains how to get it working, I am sorry and please feel free to point me in the right direction.

1. My understanding is that the blackberry connect software is in the extended rom. So far I have been able to find the following cab files which I believe have the blackberry software: htc_pocketpc_tmo_germany_2.0.0.25-18.cab, HTC_PocketPC_TMO_Austria_Germany_Load_Working.cab and htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab. Not sure what else is in here, but it looks like the blackberry client is there as well.

2. If I use one of those roms, what language will the software be? Will have to use the tmobile UK version for english?

3. I have been reading about people have problems with the phone rom. These are post from a while back, it seems that the UK blackberry client need version 1.0 and the german version need 1.06? Is this correct or can I use the lasted phone rom?

4. Is there any limitations on the System Rom or Extended Rom? Do I need a specific version? I want to make sure I have english on the device though.

5. Let's say I do get all the right software. Is there a problem in the US where Blackberry won't register Blackberry Connect PINs? I was reading in another forum that someone was having a problem with this on their SX66 and also I am upgrading from a Sony Ericsson P910a where I couldn't get my PIN added to Blackberry servers.

The main reason I want the device is to replace my blackberry and this is extremely important. Other functionality is awesome, but secondary as I need to make sure I have access to my corporate email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

There are 2 threads in the blue angel section that have Blackberry connect ih the title. Might be of help.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Thanks saw those posts after, I figured the info would be in this section. I posted some questions there as well, but any help would be appreciated. Not sure if this is going to work....oh well..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] goestoeleven:
To the best of my knowledge...

NOBODY has been able to make the BB Connect software work on SX66 on Cingular.

I've all but given up. Maybe WM2005 will be different...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Crap, though I take it the problem is Cingular not the phone right? Do you know if anyone has been able to get it to work on T-Mobile? What is the problem you are having, is it the PIN / IMEI registration issue?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] goestoeleven:
that's certainly a part of it...

pin/imei, software (nothing supported). The blackberry connect desktop software for XDA2 is a couple years old and does not let you change the PIN.

No way to configure, so you're hosed. The O2 software on the pocket pc is also locked to an O2 blackberry APN. No way to change that either.

It's possible that somebody somewhere has taken the T-Mobile German MDAIII software -- and somehow obtained the T-Mobile desktop software -- and translated both --

but I doubt it! Definitely not to be found anywhere on this site...

Of course, I'D LOVE TO BE PROVEN WRONG, as this has been the biggest issue for me since I got this bloody device.

Bottom line: either use the crap XpressMail redirector product that Cingular offers, or use IMAP/POP on a "pull" basis. Neither way works well. We're screwed until Cingular steps up to the plate or until some brave soul on this board saves us all!

Re: that's certainly a part of it...

Umm i hate to say this but also that PIN number is alos tied to a carrier, and RIM will NOT release that PIN number to be used on another carrier's network, i know, i am a data support rep with Cingular. if you want something just like the Blackberry then go pay and get the GoodLink solution, otherwise i wouldnt complain about something free that cingular offers, I use it and i agree it isnt the best but works pretty damn well considering it FREE!!! for the PErsonal Edition. Besides, if you wanted to use the BWC (BlackBerry Web client) it isnt exactly Push either, the only forms available are the Redirector and the BES, but considering Congular is offering a solution for FREE i woulnt complain if i were you. If you wanna get mad at not having that solution get mad at RIM not Cingular...... :!:

Re: that's certainly a part of it...

Well I have the desktop software in english and just installed the german software on my sx66. I think I got it to connect but its hard to tell. Iwonder if there is any other software out there....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Damm, I actually just found the software for 2.0 software for Tmobile UK. Now it only gets an IP address for two seconds then looses it. I think its the same problem I had with my p910a I can't get the server to recognize it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] goestoeleven:
Please prove me wrong!

Figure out how to make this work, and you'll be the hero of every Cingular / SX66 user on this board!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
I am getting much closer now, I hacked (hex edit) one of the dll files to point to an IP address of 206.51.26.192 instead of 206.51.26.189. I know the .192 is the right address from my old blackberry. Now I actually stay live on the APN with an IP address and everything, where before I would get one for a second and get kicked out. I think it's a matter of registering it now. If anyone wants to try this dll, replace the one in the windows directory. Also I will upload the version of blackberry connect I am using... Please try as well...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Here is the dll I mentioned...replace this with the one in windows directory

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Thanks, just haven't gotten it to work totally yet, but that may just need a call to Tmobile to ask them to set it up. I have made progress in the fact that my blackberry.net apn now stays connected, where before it would disconnect after a minute or two. I think I am half way there. Need some more people to play around who have tried before to see if they get anywhere...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] goestoeleven:
Can you also post the desktop software version you're using?

There hasn't been a recent posting of the BB Config software in quite some time...

Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
It's too large, check the ftp server. look for somethign called bb_desktop_sw_mda3_20.exe It's up there somewhere.... poke around uploads as well...

Oh wait... I got it from tmobile directly, hehehe...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] goestoeleven:
So you're using the German version?

Make it work, and I won't care what language it's in!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
I agree, first I tried the german one, before I found the Tmobile Uk one. Did you try downloading everything and installing?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] goestoeleven:
yup...

still can't make it work on my end... although I haven't changed anything in Hex...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Try the dll I fixed up also, let me know if it makes any difference....

Have you had any luck sting0r? What is the dll file you edited?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sting0r:
Nope, I ended up selling it and I am now using a nokia 9300 with blackberry connect. A little slow, but has a great web browser (opera) and the email functionality works well enough. Look for the dll file above. It just changed the ip address of the blackberry server apn.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
started with a galaxy tab 2 (7 inch) and tried to mount it via usb transfer, tried adb, tried aft mode, mtp mode, nothing, absolutely nothing connected.

puzzled, i thought it was the weird proprietary specific usb cord, and returned the tab 2.

then i bought the galaxy tab 3 ( still 7 inch ), and happily connected it to my computer. nothing. no adb, no file transfers, no mass storage, no possible way to root, flash, or chance anything on this device. yes, i tried another computer, which is also a mac. the first mac is a (intel model) hackintosh (but flashes/mounts/transfers just fine from all 4 of my android phones), but the second machine is a mac mini (intel model), and fails also.

both of these tablets are shown in system preferences as "ANDROID DEVICE blah hoo filly" or whatever, but will not mount their internal or microsdcard storage locations on the macs.

yes, i've tried the AFT app. it doesn't 'see' the tablets either.

question:

is this typical of samsung, or android tablets in general, since my phones all work fine ?

how can i fix it so that adb, file transfer, and all normal usb things work with my tablets ?

please don't tell me to buy an ipad. this is for my kids, and i really don't want them starting on ipads.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I decided that after years with the same gmail account, it had become too cluttered and too many people had my email and I just wanted a fresh start.

So, I created a fresh, new gmail account and I did a factory data reset on my phone.

But now, all the pre-installed apps won't show up in the Google Play store so I can not update them. If I type in the name of an app that is pre-installed, it shows "Update" but when I go to "my apps" there are no apps there, so I can't update them all. I also have "auto update" on, but nothing is updating.

What could cause this and is there a way I can fix it? Even though I don't use all of the pre-installed apps, I still want everything up to date.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] .kronos.:
can you install apps from the pc on the new gmail? if not, what happens when you try that from the old one?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MrSeanEllis:
Same Issue

I have this exact issue. Purchased a used phone. It was delivered in mint condition and had been factory reset. So I set it up as it was new. However, the pre-installed apps do not show up in "My Apps". So, I cannot "Update all" and auto update does not include those apps.

If I run a search for any pre-installed app it gives the option to update. Once updated, the app shows in "My Apps" like normal. All new downloaded apps show up in "My Apps" as normal.

It's like the pre-installed apps are synced to a different account... Please help
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrbracht:
They will show up. It takes a few minutes or so. I just got the HTC one, traded my s4 for it (best decision ever!) and it took a while

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlazeHN:
Hello everyone.

I have a kinda silly question here but still need to know the answer.

The first days I had this very cool shinny light effect at lockscreen, when I press the screen with my finger and leave it there some shinny light lines effect would appear moving in a circular pathern and they would appear anytime I touch the screen (just touch, not move, without unlocking it), For some reason those lighs are gone now and only appear for a little moment when I actually unlock the phone. I have the light effect on My Device > Lock Screen > Unlock Effect (not ripple or none). Currently when I touch the screen I just get a big circle light with no effects at all.

I know its not a big deal but I really enjoyed that effect, I liked to keep poking my lock screen for long just to see those shinny lighs but they are gone now.

Thanks a lot friends-

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehaerpl:
Turn off live wallpaper on the lock screen and light effect will come back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlazeHN:
Thanks for the answer, at the lockscreen I have the default non live wallpaper (the kid with the balloons). Or do you mean something else?

The effect is still not present.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfs_phone:
I got an external Samsung OEM battery charger (EP-B600CEWC) with an OEM battery. The battery works almost perfectly, but has one issue.

When charging in the external charger, it actually charges quickly, EXCEPT it takes 11 hours for the charger light to turn Green. If I take the battery out of the charger after 2.5 hours or so, although the charge light is still red, it shows fully charged when placed in the phone.

When I charge the original battery that came with the phone, the charge light turns Green after about 2.5 hours.

Oddly, when charging the apparently defective charger battery in the phone itself, it charges quickly (1.9 Amps), and the LED on the phone changes from red to green in about the same time as the original phone battery. In other words, the battery behaves normally in the phone, but it does not behave normally in the charger.

Anyone understand what might cause the extreme delay with the external charger LED turning green?
[Motorola Atrix 2] iarejohnsmith:
Hi guys,

I used to be a regular on this forum, and was very fluent in all of the latest techniques, but when ICS Official came out, I decided to chill away from phone modding for a while (that addiction). It's been almost a year since I've visited this place.

When I left, rdavisct had broken his phone, jimbridgman had announced his leaving, and development section was slowing to a standstill. Imagine my surprise when I returned a year later to find a slew of 4.3 ROMs that back in my day were unimaginable.

So after spending the past couple of days trying to read through all of the posts that have occurred in the last year and failing, I have concluded that running kexec is the standard now? I'm assuming all ROMs above ICS are using kexec? And that kexec is more unstable/battery consuming?

Also, how are the ROMs now? Are the cutting edge ones with kexec fast and stable and battery efficient? Are there even any non-kexec ROMs now to default to? Does rdavisct's SCv7 work on rooted official ICS despite being built with leak 2?

Sorry for the extended post. I'm trying to catch back up so I can dig back in :D. Also I'm hoping this will be helpful to other people trying to find a practical explanation of kexec.

P.S. My official ICS has suddenly dramatically begun lagging in the past three weeks, just like several other people who have posted here, and it's the reason I'm searching for a ROM again. Weird huh.

P.P.S. I spent the last year sort of messing around with an LG Nitro HD, which is perfect on paper but terrible in reality (no battery life on any ROM, incredibly painful heating up and subsequent crashing). Nothing beats our old A2 :highfive:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah there is a ton that has happened in the last year on here.

I am still on the A2 form a day or two a week, now.

There are a ton of ported roms from the razor, that work well, and AOSP is out with the kexec kernel, and many other things.

Yes the kexec kernel is on a lot of ROMS but not all, there are a ton that are still not kexec, and others that are only kexec, and then some that can run either way (since some still can not boot kexec kernels, and that appears to be a luck of the draw with certain peoples phones), and why there are some with the choice to run with or without.

I would say kexec is much better now, but it still takes a little more battery than a non kexec kernel, but not all that much, it really depends on what you are doing with it and if you OC and the like too.

Yes you can run SCV7 with the official ICS version, without any issue (leak 2 is 100% the same as the final version).
[Motorola Atrix 2] iarejohnsmith:
Woah, pleasant surprise to have Jim himself reply haha. Thanks fam. :D

Is kexec only doing stuff to get the alternate kernel working? If that's the case could there be/are there non-kexec ROMs above ICS, or would that be pointless?

Glad you fixed the random reboots. It always seems to be a defective app, unless it's hardware. That's cool you want to create your own roms. Maybe you can create roms for those with older phones too. XDA forums is a great place to learn all about roms, flashing, and what tools to use if your getting into rom development.
