HP6945 update

I happened to go overseas last week and while there and roaming on O2 I was able to get past the second screen and get the BB Connect to start. However, it would not generate the PIN (status: "pending"). Hoping that once past that obstacle once back on Cingular US I could get further, but no joy.

Right now I'm trying the Xpress Mail product which pushes and syncs calendar and email via a redirector; it seems to be finicky though.

A reply from my Singtel ISP on Black Berry Connect

I have been told by Singtel that if I am using Blackberry Connect on pda phone like dopod 838pro, the data plan i subscribed will not cover access via pda such as pda internet surfing. Only email via bb is covered under the plan.

In order to fully utilise the plan, they told me to use bb device so that whatever i access is via the bb data plan inclusive internet surfing.

Is there a way that i can connect or tap the bb connection so that i can surf with my Dopod 838 pro? I am not going to buy an additional 3g bb device.

I've had good success with XpressMail. I need to keep two separate calendars: one for personal (aka job hunting), one for work. If I can live with a small delay in e-mail (5-10 minutes or so), it works fine.

good luck,

paul
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lmychajluk:
A quick question (hopefully): If I use the BB Connect software, is there a different Inbox?

What I'm really hoping to be able to do is have one Inbox for BBC messages to use with work, while at the same time using 'regular' ActiveSync to sync my personal messages (from my own Exchange server).

Ideally, it will combine the calendars as well?

Thanks!

Personally I prefer Microsoft Direct Push using www.mail2web.com. Its nice¡¡

To avoid drain the battery I installed BandSwitch to use GSM band and when I need UMTS I change it in 5 or 6 seconds.....

A simple question...... Is using the blackberry connect illegal? I bought a TyTN because of its superior capabilities over the blackberry... unfortunately my company uses BES... when i approcahed my IT guy about blackberry connect and directing him to this forum he said "It is a program from Germany and it is illegal to use... we're not going that way"

is this true? i need some proof that it is safe to use this software .... thanks in advance... Andy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tyming:
I think is legal. I got bb connect from DOPOD's website.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] titus666:
Technically, the BB Connect software is licensed by the individual OEM suppliers (Dopod, Qtek, O2, imate, etc). So the answer is basically if your original device provider provides you with the BB Connect client (eg as in the case for the Dopod 838) then it is legal. If you downloaded the client by itself (say on this forum) and by some combination of rom version/radio version that you have and it works, then it is a violation of RIM's license (note violation of license/copyright is a little different than being "illegal")...

strange issue with bbconnect on umts

I have an 8525 on Cingular with BBConnect. Everything works fine and I get emails from both BES and BIS. I noticed that if I am on UMTS, the auto more in mails don't work right away or there is very noticable delay in retriving the other parts. If I am on GPRS/Edge, the auto more is instantaneous. Does anybody else experience the same issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andilla:
Thank you for your post....... i finally fought through my IT department and I think I am on the verge of getting access to my work's BES.... I sent Blackberry an email asking if blackberry connect is a software that they allow and support ... and they do (they even have the blackberry connect software manual on their website).. they mention that BES has to be updated to the most recent version... that the device being used is a device recognizable by the blackberry network (in which the TyTN is) and that blackberry is available as a data package with my wireless carrier (which is)

i suggest for anyone that has any inquiries or concerns with blackberry connect to send an email to help@blackberry.net and they will be happy to help you out (cause for them its just another customer using their system)..

peace
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] titus666:
The problem from your IT department's perspectve is that they will not have the same level of control over your device running BB Connect compared to a Blackberry device. Eg, with a BB device, they can stop applications being installed, and they can remotely wipe the device - They cannot do this to a device running BB Connect. Hence this creates a security issue, for example, if you lose your PDA running BB Connect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andilla:
titus that makes a lot of sense and it will be something i will consider if they do nix the project.... thanks for the enlightenment..

BB Connect Delete mails

Hi,

I share your entusiasm and your experiences w/ corporate IT admin.:eek:

I also have BBC working fine, but 1 remaining systematical problem. The synch of deleted mails doesn't work at all. Regardless, which config I cjosse (Mailbox wins, or Desktop wins) THERE IS NO DELETION OF MAILS.

Every evening I must manually flush all e-mails on my XDA.

I did work on my orig. Blackberry 7290 device. Since the synch works only over the air i/f and my IT dept. has no clue that I am NOT using my Blackberry, but the XDA, the only conclusion for me is that the B BC SW on the XDA has a problem.

Any ideas ? does it work for you ??

Rgds

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] titus666:
The mailbox sync (deletes) DOES work, but I think it kind of work in batches. I have had it enabled by mistake before and found out later that loads of my mail got moved to the Deleted box in my Exchange mail account.

Need Help - TMO Dash with BBC

Hi All,

I am trying to replace my company issued BB 7520 (Nextel) with a T-mobile Dash. (my personal cell)

-I have downloaded the BB Connect Cab file to the Dash and installed. Ver2.1.2.39

-I have downloaded the BB Connect for Windows Mobileto my desktop and synched the Dash ver 2.1.1.9.

- I synched my Dash, it recognized the new PIN and I created a new encryption key

- I have called Tmo and had them add the BB service to my account.

The Dash is connecting to the TMO BB Network. The identity, Status Services and IT Policy all look OK.

However, I cannot send or receive emails, and my calender is not synching. I have turned off Calender synch in Activesynch. I don't have Activesynch synching anything.

Am I missing something? When I run the BB Connect Desktop for Windows Mobile, I only get panel that looks like the redirector settings on the BB Desktop Manager.

Do I need to run the Desktop Manager when I run the BB Connect for WM?

Thanks in Advance

James
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] caleymac:
Yes. On UMTS the BES and BIS would stop working after a while...even though the application would show as connected. I would kill the connection from comm mgr, which caused the BIS/BES to reconnect...and the emails would flow...for a while. I finally locked my connection back to GPRS/Edge and everything works fine. I'm guessing the Blackberry over cingular 3G does quite have the bugs worked out yet. Hopefully soon...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] willieb9000:
So can I read this to mean that if I have a Cingular BB through my work BES, I can just install the BB Connect software on the 8525 and switch the Cingular SIM card into the 8525 and I don't have to do any other setup (installing the activesync desktop manager to get the PIN, etc.)? I don't think this is right, but I got confused by this part of the post. I think I would still need to install the activesync BB Connect desktop manager (which requires admin privileges that I do not have). Can anyone confirm? I think I might have a better chance of convincing my IT folks that I should be allowed to use the 8525 if I can show them that I have it working without any intervention on their part. If I have to ask them to install the desktop manager for me I think I will be dead in the water. Any thoughts anyone? Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] willieb9000:
I have looked into this some more and I think you definitely have to install the Blackberry Desktop version with Activesync to get this set up. That is going to be a roadblock for me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] titus666:
You do need the desktop manager to generate the PIN and do the initial service activation (BB connect does not do over the air activation).

make the bb connect work

I read the install. I have everything configured correctly but when I try to start the bb client I get 'not connected' then it displays 'stopped' under the connection status. does anyone have any ideas. this was working on my 8125 until the phone switch. thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pallux:
I'm having the same problem. I have tried all different versions of firmware and bb clients with no luck. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] roshambo:
Same problem here. I tried locking it to GPRS and it still says "not connected" then immediately "stopped". Can someone who has this working on Cingular post exactly what they did to get it working? That would be MUCH appreciated!

I work at a company that supports Blackberrys, but I've never used one.

My question is, what advantage does the Blackberry service have over using something like Cingular's Xpress Mail?

I've been using Xpress mail for a while with no problems. It is a push-mail client that works great for synching my messages and calendar. The only caveat is that I have to run the Xpress Mail client on my desktop computer, and if my desktop is down, then it won't work, but my computer is always running so that's not an issue.

Sorry for sounding like n00b but can someone explain the advantage of using BlackBerry connect? I just want to see why it's worth $49.95/month.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dlhendo:
the Blackberry Service is probably not worth it unless you need it to connect to your corporate email. For personal email, it's definitely not worth the additional cost. I'd just go with Xpress mail and the 19.99 data connect plan (which is what I had before I needed to connect to my corporate BBE Server).

Btw, if you are thinking about getting the $49.95 Blackberry service from Cingular, be sure to ask them about the $44.95 service. It's the same thing, lower price, but it has a slightly different product name, like "add-on Blackberry service for Voice" or something like that. They were all ready to sign me up at 49.95 when I asked them if there wasn't a lower rate that I had seen somewhere for 44.95.

This is a great site and it's helped me avoid getting a Blackberry device, so I can enjoy the 3G goodness of the 8525 and get instant BB corporate email.

As far as BBConnect goes, I've had my share of problems with it, but I'm stable right now on a cooked WM6 version with BBC working fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GMCloud27:
Just to ask, what version of BB Connect and which ROM are you using? The problem I have right now that drives me up a wall and that I noticed some XDA Live folks not having this problem is that on 2.1.2.54 and BE 1.2, my phone will connect to BB's APN and stay connected but then when I want to browse the internet, I have to connect to WAP.cingular (ISP gives me modem disconnects now since I've changed my plan from PDA Unlimited to PDA + BB Connect). I keep getting so close to buying a BB 8800 and ditching my 8525 but I keep convincing myself against it...

Thanks for any help yoiu can give.

Dissillusioned

Well I have to say, that as much as I love my Jasjam, over the last couple of weeks I have become a little dissillusioned with it and am losing confidence in it.

As a business tool it's primary function as a phone leaves alot to be desired. I've been missing calls because it has gone mute on me, constant drop outs when talking to clients and intermittantly not starting the phone on boot up.

Keeping in touch with my clients is vitally important and I can't have a phone that is so unreliable.

I know it is an amazing little device but it has to have a reliable phone to be marketed to the people that it is designed for.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GMCloud27:
I agree with you 100%! I care just as much about call reliability as features and tools and up to now, I've had very poor reliabiliy in comparison to BB phones and non-PDA/Smartphones and we have to remember, these ARE phones too...

I'm eagarly awaiting Black 2.0 and that will basically decide for me whether or not I'll be returning my 8525 and going to the BlackBerry 8300 or 8800. Currently Black 1.2 is terrible as a business device ROM and I havn't tested much of LVSW's latest due to BB Connect not working on it :(.

Your setup for email should be through the Destop Client for BES accounts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] richy240:
I don't know if I agree that the TyTN is a worse phone than a BlackBerry... I've used both, and I think they're both pretty bad as phones. Maybe some of the newer phone-centric BlackBerrys are better as phones, but the older devices are piss poor.

BBConnect 4.0.0.9 on WM6 where to install ,card or Main memory

Just installed BBconnect 4.0.0.9 in Main Memory. Took at least 10 mb Crazy amount of space. I only did that because, my original install was on Storage Card,, and I couldn't seem to configure or get the BBBrowser going. Seems to work reasonably well,except for a little bogging down of system.I would like to know where people are installing their BBconnect program. To their SD card, or to Main..I have a feeling that maybe I should try again to SD card, because I only have 15mb left in Main storage. Also, I would like to find out how I could make this program more efficient after installation. For some reason, of all BBconnect posts on xda, nobody ever talks about install location.

Is yours kinda bulgy and lumpy, does it sit almost half way out of the phone?

I noticed mine has a few bumps and bulges where the 3 batteries are and that made me wonder if one of more of them were exploded and if it'd still work with one part being exploded and the rest one or two not being impacted by it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
The back of mine is bumpy, two bumps where the top two batteries are then bottom battery is solid and flat but sits in the compartment rather cockeyed raising up up and out at a angle... Also I typically get a days use out of it now suddenly. Bought it used, dunno if it was defective or I damaged it by keeping phone on a constant charge more so than usual. But I thought/figured the two top batteries were supposed to be at a solid flat level, not a humpity hump level.

[Samsung Gear 2] jakenbake123:
I have a note 3 rooted on stock rom kitkat and I just got a gear 2 neo and since getting it I have had one successful time connecting in gear manager. but once I got it connected I couldn't select any of the settings. Everytime I tried to select something it would pop up for 1-2 seconds then send me back to the main menu. So today I uninstalled and reinstalled in hope to try and fix this issue. I have tried almost everything. I have reset both the gear and my phone several times. I have tried force closing apps, uninstalling/reinstalling samsung apps, bluetooth settings. when I go onto gear manager now it takes me to the "paired and unpaired devices" screen and my gear pops up but when I try and select it the app just flashes a few times and takes me back the same menu. I have no idea what to do.

EDIT: I researched this problem some more and found one other guy with the problem and the way it was fixed for him was by chance. He just resarted both the gear and his phone and it worked. but for me I am still stuck in the "select device screen" making my gear completely useless If anyone might know why please help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meade18:
I've been rooted since I got my GS3 and after the stock 4.3 MK3 ota update came out, I flashed a version of 4.3 that was knox-free. I was also able to update without wiping data. Now sprint is trying to send me the OTA 4.4 KitKat ND8. I would like to update, but I don't want to wipe and and I don't want knox.

1) Is there a knox-free stock ND8 rom yet? If yes, where is it? Can I update without wipe?

2) Will there be? If yes, when?

3) Should I really care? Everyone made a huge deal about knox when it came out, so I avoided it like the plague. Does it really matter if I have knox on my phone?

4) If the answer to all three above is "NO" what's the process for installing a stock ND8 rooted rom without wipe?

BTW, you guys are pretty amazing. I try and thank the posters of the threads that solve this stuff for me, but here's a more verbal thanks for all your help! THANKS!

Will tell you most everything you want to know. I encourage you to read them.

That said...

You would have to restore the MK3 stock recovery, kernel, bootloader (with Knox), and unroot to take or manually install the OTA, which is the only way to keep your data.

No and no.

No.

Only if your phone is under warranty.

There is no process without wipe unless you succeed to do the things I mentioned in my answer before your question "number" 1. ☺ In which case afterward your process is to just take the OTA.

Yes, they are awesome. I encourage you to donate to any who take donations if you can. I have and will again.
