Hi!

I just subscribed to my telco for BB service in my country and got it connected with an IP address

However, I could not register. Do I need to? I could not setup my email account since the Email Setup tab is grayed out too.

Under Options tab I can see the word Blackberry is grayed out under Connection

Any help? Thanks

Thanks

Ooooops.....sorry

Just managed to setup my email since its no longer grayed out but takes a long time to connect to to BB site to create new account

To understand what type of service you have is key, there are currently two ways to use the Blackberry connect software we have.

1. With Microsoft Exchange Server (Push)

2. Blackberry Enterprise Server (Lotus Domino (Push)

Each service has it's own way of setting up the client.

Since Skywriter uses MS Exchange he should be the best source for asking those related questions.

Since Hang|Man uses Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) Lotus he should be the best source for that service and related questions.

Example: When I install my client I go through different steps than Skywriter, I load up the BB Connect Active Sync Desktop application and then I install the BB Connect for Pocket PC application. Then I start my VPN connection to my Companies Network, then I start my Desktop Sync program for BB Connect and it looks for my Lotus Log in information...

Once I type in my password it connects to the Lotus server for the information it needs to setup or send to my device. This is the configuration information the device uses to get and send mail and also sync my calandar if I have that selected.

After all is synced I disconnect my device from the USB cable and then I do a lookup for any known name in my service book, this tells me that the service is running and connected. once the lookup finds the name I looked for then I can use the BB service without a problem.

Also when installing the software to your device you should always install it in the main memory and NOT the storrage card, this software has certain registry entries that when istalled on the storrage card cannot be written to the reg. ergo you must install it to the main mem to be stable and function properly.

blackberry and non enterprise emails

Hi

The blackberry account belongs to my brothers office and company which i was testing.

I have got the blackberry to actually fetch emails from both yahoo (normal http account not purchased pop) as well as gmail which ofcourse i have pop3 enabled. I just have to go to the email setup on the blackberry connect settings and then this disconnects the blackberry GPRS and reconnects Rogers GPRS and takes me to the RIM website where i can add upto 10 email accounts (including the 2 company email accounts which i have from my office). I didn't need the desktop part to connect to my enterprise server as it started working automatically once i put in the user id and password for my personal accounts. I haven't as yet started using the company email accounts as my blackberry 8700 was company configured and so i will be starting the company email too once i get the password to my email accounts which are like myname@mycompany.com and myname@wirelessprovider.blackberry.net. I believe then my office mail should be working too. I got a simple solution you guys have a bigger headache as you need the Microsoft Exchange or Lotus domino or BES settings probably from the desktop client.

It did take a while to start the service initially but then worked like a breeze. One problem I now have is that when i got it the first time i had to regiser a username and password. This is linked to the blackberry enabled sim card. Is there a way to link another username and password or change the username to the service of this simcard. I do not wish to change handhelds just be able to let my brother set his own username and password for the blackberry service login web page.

Thanks

RE

Hmmmm.......its strange why users here need a BB enabled SIM card

I'm a personal user and I don't require a BB enabled SIM card. Just a normal 3G SIM card will do

Could it be that for corporate users you need a BB enabled SIM card?

:roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
Re: RE

Yes, you need a BB enabled SIM card for Corporate users that have BES servers. this is called a 'blackberry corporate enterprise' account.

if you have a 'blackberry internet' account then you don't need a special SIM card. but please post your email account since some people do have problems with regular accounts and the blackberry connect software.

Re: blackberry and non enterprise emails

i don't know. when i installed BB connect i was on my desktop logged into outlook. the desktop software populated the email setting directly from the outlook profile for my account. i didn't have to enter anything other than regenerate a new key. then it works ever since, everytime i change ROMS, just regenerate a key key while it's activesynced and i'm fine to go. i don't know if i can use it on another BES server. i don't have another one to try :) i'm not sure what '10 email accounts' means. does it mean '10 email account managed through the same blackberry email service account' (most likely). or '10 email accounts in total' (which seems out of control of blackberry.

Post my email account? I don't understand. I'm using yahoo singapore

I think the BB Connect Desktop software is for corporate users since a PIN is required to be generated

I subscribed my BB service with my telco and I need to key in my user ID, password and add email accounts when I'm at my telco's website. I cannot setup my email account from my QTEK9000

BB can support up to 10 personal email accounts from POP3/ISP - thats what the brochure says

Re: RE

that's what i meant, sorry i typed the wrong thing and didn't get to edit it; i was rushed at home with getting recalcitrant kids off to school.

right all these things apply to the 'BlackBerry Internet Service account' which is a very much different affair than a corporate blackberry service where your company owns and runs the BES. i don't have a 'BlackBerry Internet Service account' but for the people that do, the information about your setup might be useful.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Thanks FOSA for the info... Sky and I have a Corporate service, I'm not sure about the way BB connect for Internet mail works but the BES or MS Corporate service uses encryption ergo the PIN and keys that have to be benerated.

If you all remember on the old BB connect software with T-Mobile there was a choice, Blackberry Internet mail or Blackberry Soloution. The internet mail or instant e-mail is what FOSA has and Blackberry Soloution is what Sky and I have.

In any event posting up here is important for all users trying to test or get this service running on thier devices..... Thanks so far for the good info...

occasionally, messages go into the outbox and just sit there. presumably because the BB connction is unavailable. anyway to 'make them send'? doesn't seem to be a 'empty outbox now' method.

When you are looking at the BB screen in the lower right corner there is a menu tab, select that and at teh bottom of the pop up there is a Synchronise Now eppilet hit that if the BB has GPRS connection it will be bold if there is no connection it will be light colored.

Sending mail not possible - Service Blocked

I installed the BBConnect and Active Sync Desktop to sync the Work Computer (with Exchange Server) and the Dopod 900, by transferring the BB Sim from Blackberry 7290 unit (BB-SIM Corporate) to the Dopod. New PIN was generated as well as the encryption transferred/loaded from BES server. Everything works fine and stable, BUT only for receing mail (push). I could neither send out email (Service Blocked) nor using the Look up function (to search for a name from the Company Global Address List). So I think that there is some additional security feature related to sending mail to BES/Exchange server. Does anyone have a same problem? Thanks. VTN
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vtnguyen:
It is working now. Our IT department just asked for the Blackberry package on top of my Dopod voice/data package (another provider than the one with Blackberry). So I put the old SIM Dopod back and it works flawlessly. Receiving/sending mail, look up address from GAL, all folders of Inbox. Very stable so far (other functions like surfing net, phone etc.. also work like before, but of course after the Net surfing via 3G/GPRS, you have to click "restart" from the BB screen due to "radio in use"). FYI my DOPOD ROM is updated one, with AKU2 (released date end April 2006). VTN
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Re: Sending mail not possible - Service Blocked

A couple of things to watch out for, If you are using a SIM from a Blackberry device, like I am (8125) you need to be aware of the features that are allowed with that sim, i.e. does it have browsing and or internet enabled services, On my contract with Cingular I found out that I had browsing and what they call Media.net but on my boss's device he only had BB BES service, his SIM is with T-Mobile. I got him an O2 Exec just like mine and I took his sim card out of his blackberry and configure it with the Vodaphone ROM and BB connect, vodaphone cause he likes the colors.... go figure anyway when I set his device up to use the voicestream wap settings I get connection errors because his service does not allow it. When I set my Exec up for Cingular WAP settings it works fine because that service is in my plan. Now to the problem you have as far as recieving mail but not being able to do lookups or send mail, could be a couple of things but I was able t0o resolve the same problem with my device by going into the BB desktop program and under the security tab selecting generate key manually. I did this once and re synced, then I went in a couple of days later and reselected automattic and it has been working fine... Also I have found that right after you install the client and do a coonect sync with the desktop that you should reboot the device by hitting the reset button, not a hard reset but a soft one. You also have to make sure you have a good solid GPRS signal. If you look at your today screen and you see the BB icon down in the lower right corner and it is a complete Icon then select messaging from the programs section and then go to blackberry, on that screen in the lower right corner is a menu tab select that and at the bottom of that pop up there is a Syncronise Now option, if that is BOLD then you have a connection and can sync with your remote server. if it is grey then you can not sync.

Bluetake i-phono's wewre both uncomfortable and distance limited, worse yet, you need a little autio to bluetooth convertor box....hassle. it's amazing how much bad stuff you have by before you find the right thing. at least i have TWO good headphones now. they're really important to me.

I'd just like to know what the difference is between the AKU2 and AKU3.2 ROMS is so that we could install the BB software on the AKU3.

It must have something to do with the way AKU3 networking is set up inside the nk.nbf file.

I know how to extract the files from an nk.nbf but thats as far as my talent goes.....

When I installed the AKU 3.2 Beta 8 ROM and the BB Connect software, at the initial reboot I get a connection and mail but then it goes into a blocked status and never will recover. Good GPRS signal and all but it will never show any new mail....

BB-Client on AKU 2 working

Hi,

after a new try (I got nothing from t-mobile) to get a working BBclient for my t-mobile mda pro from the hotline I found a nice article here that the vodaphone client works better and has no branding.

So I downloaded it and it works fine. We have a blackberry server here in the company so I use the enterprise solution.

Here is my information:

Provider: T-Mobile Germany

Phone: MDA Pro

Rom-Version: 1.30.113 Ger

Rom-Date: 04/13/06

Radio-Version: 1.10.03

Prot: 42.44.P8

ExtRom: 1.30.224 Ger

BB-Client: 2.1.2.16

BB-Desktop: 2.1.0.16

ASync: 4.1.0

I got the PPC-Client from Vodaphone:

http://www.vodafone.de/downloadarea/BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16.zip

The BB-Desktop-Software I got from T-Mobile.

So thanks a lot to all and thanks for the great forum.

Hmmmn, I have a tiny brain...

Very nice thread, I've read through and am now just trying to work out exactly what to do, in what order.

Current Situation:

Provider

Optus Australia 3G SIM with BlackBerry Enterprise set up

WM5 Device

iMate Jasjar with latest Club iMate ROM/Radio

WM5 Device Information

ROM = 1.30.76 WWE / ROM date = 02/20/06 / Radio = 1.09.00 / Protocol = 42.42.P8 / ExtROM = 1.30.164 WWE

BlackBerry Device

Optus BlackBerry 8707 ('g' I think - it's definitely the 3G version although I'm lead to believe that with BlackBerry, Optus only use 3G for data - voice remains GSM)

BlackBerry Environment

BlackBerry Enterprise (set up with our large corporate IT group's Exchange Servers)

BlackBerry Desktop

Downloaded from one of the links here to Vodaphone DE - ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_2.1.1.9.exe

BlackBerry Client

Downloaded from Ghost's link - BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16.exe

Stupid question time:

1. Do I need to load a different ROM? If so, what's the latest recomendation?

2. Do I need to load a different radio version? If so, what's the latest recomendation?

3. I noticed when the IT department did the setup of my BlackBerry that there's a newer version of BlackBerry Desktop Software (v4.2). Is this of any relevance?

More in a bit, knocking off from work to go home and sort this out.

1. no i've used three modern ROM's they all work even the i-mate one.

2. no, i've used version 1.9 and 1.11 and 1.13 all the same

3. you don't use the blackberry software that they installed for your black berry. use the blackberry connect software. activesync with option for NO email and NO calendar. gnerate new key manually. select [connect]. (enable the calendar PIM option on the JASJAR. it should give you new PIN, and KEY, and tell you it is synchonizing calander info (that part might be a little ifffy). then you can disconnect the JASJAR and use the BB connect software to restart the service. should come up.

Lots of info here but I couldn't quite work out the answer to my 2 simple questions:

1) What is the best combination of software if I want to run BBConnect on my Universal with an UK Orange Sim?

2) I work for a large corporation who provide me with a Blackberry, if I get my Uni all sorted out with BB connect the right ROM etc, will I be able to simply put in my work (UK Orange) SIM and press "go"?

Thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
1) i used latest O2 ROM for a few days without a problem.

2) basically Yes. you install the SIM, run the desktop program to re-key, and/or re-pin. and everything should just go. there are details for calendar sync that i you can discover. it's easy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] groggrog:
2) service stops when phone radio in use, doesn't restart afterward. has to have a soft reset to start it - i have a similar problem, but i can use the status->restart to get it to go most of the time, else it requires a soft reset as well. i only use the phone once or twice a week so it's not a big deal to me. my MDA is a PDA first, phone second.

Regarding the above section in a previous post, I've seen nothing but the radio in use and activesync connect messages on my Cingular 8125. I have not been able to get it to say anything other than those no matter what reset or ROM i've used. I'm currently using Molski's latest, and am currently using the 2.47.11 radio ROM. I've been paying the $40 a month to Cingular for about 3 months now and have never once been able to use it. Can anybody tell me definitively how to get this working on my device? I understand it's difficult and that's why this thread exists, but it seems like some people have been successful with this combination.

I have no problem installing any other ROM or radio version as long as it fixes this problem.

Thank you in advance!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] beginner:
I tried O2 rom.

- I have BES services and access corporate mail, plus internet accounts.

- Performance in general of the rom is very bad, if you have tested as in my case latest AKU 3.2 and AKU 3.3. to go down make you feel stupid because you decrease the universal speed by 10 times at least.

- There is a lack of compatibility of BB with aku 3.x. Looks is due the internet sharing of the new aku, but how to manage?
