i can also verify that it works perfectly for me as well. Here is the drawback though. It pulls your company's security policy and if that poilcy (which most are) is to lock your device you will be looking at a double lock if you already make your device lock. If you do not then you will only have one lock to get through to use the device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] peebee01:
I'm also a happy BES user. Just don't use over the air synchronization of contacts as I have noticed it is not always that accurate and contacts are lost with a large amount of contacts stored, so I leave that with Activesync

Only downside is that Blackberry and regular internet access are two separate connections and only one can be active at a time. Ideally I would like to see two parallel data connections.

Or perhaps even better have Opera and other "data clients" use the blackberry connection, as I have a flat fee data subscription on that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] panos_peg:
I also have BES connection and works perfect even abroad with roaming. The thing with the security applies to me also. It is enforced by the company's security policy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] peebee01:
Does anybody know if there is a way to setup the blackberry service using Sashimi or any other method after a clean install? So without configuring the handset manually through BBDesktop.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] clausg:
There is a way to deactivate the company's security policy. After each reset though, you have to go through the unlocking still, but I use Task Manager and a lnk to it's command line to stop the BB security service. Then the security policy is disabled and won't lock the device anymore. Till you soft reset it again.

Of course not recommended from a company's security point of view, but if you are watching a movie on a plane, it is pretty annoying to enter the password each 15 minutes.

Approach me if you want more info.

I'm a Blackberry user that is thinking of migrating to the Touch Pro. What is the advantage of using BB Connect over Activesync?

Also, do you get full HTML with BB Connect? I do on my BB, so was just wondering.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aussieak:
It will depend on what your work uses all the same though. and emails on BB connectwill be plain txt

Would you be able to provide some more details or an instruction set on how to do this? TIA!

How to disable company's BlackBerry Security policy

The responsible startup service to lock your device is "BlackBerrySecurity" (you can find it with Memmaid, for example). If you stop that service, e.g. with Memmaid, the BB lock screen will not bother you anymore. But attention: never delete this service! (possible with Memmaid). If you delete it instead of stoping it, your device will not boot anymore and you will need a hard reset.

But if you stop the service, after any soft reset of your device you will see the BB Unlock screen again. Only after unlocking, you can then stop the service, and the company's security policy (in my case, locks device every 15 minutes) will not nag you subsequently anymore.

In the past, after a soft reset I unlocked my device at the BB lock screen, then I opened Memmaid and stopped the service manually. As I have to reset my device frequently (2-3 times daily), this was pretty annoying everytime. I wanted a way to stop the service with one fingertouch.

The excellent freeware Task Manager provides command line parameters which allows to stop selected services. I haven't found any other program that does the same. Additionally, Task Manager is small and has many useful system tools. It is actually not what it's name suggests, it is no task manager but a system tool.

This is what I did:

1. download Task Manager (I do have V3.1) from http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

2. create a .lnk to it with the command line option to stop the BB Security service in your \Windows\StartMenu: for example "\Program Files\TaskMgr.exe" /stopsvc BlackBerrySecurity (if you have installed it in main memory)

3. Now you can reach this link from your Programs list.

I have added a different icon to it and put it in my Programs list at the first place. Now, after a soft reset, I unlock my device, then I just click the icon and the service is stopped.

Company SysAds will hate me. Take care that your data is safe in case you loose the device and use different means of protection.

touch pro with BB connect 103 cannot connect :(

hi there

i have a touch pro with BB connect 103

my sim card is enable for blackberry service as I used it in my HTC Kaiser Tilt in the past.

when i put the sim card in my touch pro... no service are running,,, are there special settings to do on the touch pro so that it can connect to the blackberry network ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] peebee01:
No special settings needed. Installation is just like it was on your Kaiser. Can you specify what you did so far? Just inserting the SIM card is not enough.

You need to install BBCOnnect on your TP,

Go to settings/system,

Click on the BBconnect icon to start it for the first time,

Sync your TP with Activesync,

Start BBDesktop application and click "configure handset".

Only after following all these steps your TP will connect and have push mail.

Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.104

I am from Bulgaria ( GSM Service provider is Globul ).

My problem:

Install BBConnect from 4.0.0.90 to 4.0.0.104 version. All instalation i make in clear handle- hard reset and install first bbconnect. So...

I have stable connection ( read from bb identity - pin ok, imei - ok, ip address - ok, status - Connected ) but no active mail setup in utility tab and no active Service list in services tab. I use BIS. From web interface no problem with registration and setup mail.

I send Service book but... nothing.

Please help! I have a 5h. conversation with my service provider and they no idea what is the problem.

P.P. I am sorry for my English. -- plese excuse me.

I tray to do this but i resive "the account is not provisioned properly on the server" eror from BBDesktop..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] peebee01:
Than that (your server) is probably where your problem lies. Check with your IT department. Maybe they're not running BES v4.x but an older release?

Is Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.104 new? Only see 103 at sems.org
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
Is blackberry connect with BIS worth getting? Does ATT charge extra? Since is no ability to PIN someone, what do you get with blackberry connect aside from push email?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] joesatriani:
Yes. 4.0.0.104 is avalible. I download it from my service provider site.

Btw. my BIS with BBConnect 4.0.0.104 WORKING! I call to my GSM Service provider and they reboot my service. Now is ok.

no need to Sync TP with Activesync, and Start BBDesktop application and click "configure handset" for BIS in my case.

10x to all.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeanPall:
Does anyone know if it is possible to download Opera mini for Blackberry and install this on your windows mobile device so that the connection uses the Blackberry data connection? I don't like pocket IE and I get free internet browsing with my BIS connection and if I could use the Opera browser I'd be so pleased.

BBerry Connect 4.0 for WinMo (AT&T FUZE)

Sorry if this has already been discussed here before, but since the XDA forums have been such a big help for me it's my turn to share.

I have an HTC Fuze (Touch Pro) form AT&T. All of my company uses the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) and BlackBerry phones, so I am the first here at work to test out a WinMo 6.1 Pro device.

You'll also notice that Blackberry Connect for the Fuze is "Coming Soon". But there;s another way!

I put my company sim card into the Fuze and installed Blackberry Connect -

(take note that my company has the unlimited data plan and BES. Some of you might be having issues because you might not have the right plans - just a thought)

download Blackberry Connect 4 form here:

http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276

and everything was running smoothly within about a 15 min set-up. I had to have IT access the BBerry server to issue me a one-time activation password to initialize the set-up.

Anyway, I am floored that my sweet phone is working (meeting requests, contacts, email, etc) with no issues.

Side note: you may have to temporarily disable ActiveSync on your device to properly set up BBerry Connect.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] phead2:
I've got the same issues others are reporting, I never get a PIN (always pending). It says network available and that's it. Without a PIN you cannot connect using blackberry connect desktop for wm. I've got the "PDA Enterprise Microsoft Direct Push" data plan, can anyone report get blackberry connect to work with this? ATT has all these different data plans, was told this was what I needed but I'm not so sure...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] phead2:
ok, for those of you having the same issue I mentioned above they changed my plan from microsoft direct push to some blackberry plan and it is now working... I really don't see why they do things this way but there it is...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cp1md2b:
Blackberry Connect

So that all will know. The Blackberry Connect price with AT&T increased from $30.00 to $45.00 (US dollars) with the Fuze.

What's the difference?

Blackberry Connect was previously BIS (no Enterprise Server support) No it incluse BES​

I no some might be saying I don't need it. I guess if we call and complain to AT&T enough they will bring back the older plan. But currently the only way to get it on an account that is provisioned with the Fuze is to get the hight plan.

you can work around and perhaps provide them with a IMEI number of a blackberry but now that they offer insurance I wouldn't want to risk something happening to my fuze while the account reflects a blackberry. Because then they will only replace it with another blackberry device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Psirix:
New to BB Connect

I'm new to the BB Connect.

My company either uses GoodLink or BlackBerrys depending on which phone you have.

I'm using GoodLink on my Touch Pro now. Once BB Connect becomes available will I be able to ditch the GoodLink that I have now and get BB Connect?

I have unlimited Data Plan with AT&T now and also Int'l 20mb Data plan for when I travel for business.

Once I get BB Connect can I change my data plan to a consolidated Int'l/Domestic (US) plan?

Thanks.

Fuze via Letstalk and having BBConnect working

Currently, I am using BB for receiving office email. I can perform unlimited internet surf via my BB. I want to do the following in near future-

Buy my new HTC Fuze phone via Letstalk.com

Get full rebate by using suggested data plan for 6 months (there is no mention of $45 BES data plan)

Download BBConnect on HTC Fuze

Use HTC Fuze to receive corporate emails

Have emails in html

Ability to surf internet on the BES data plan of $45.

Is the above feasible? If so, please elaborate how i should proceed? What data service should I buy when i buy the phone via letstalk.com? Will I risk losing the rebate if I have to change the plan from $30 to $45? Also, how do i get the BBConnect when the version is not "officially" available.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tribalmunky:
Though Pocket Outlook supports it, you won't be getting HTML emails through BBC. Only text and attachments. I get HTML emails through my IMAP'ed Gmail account though.

I surf the web on the phone just fine, infact I'm BT PAN'd with my laptop typing this post.

BBC client you can get from here. I'm using 4.0.0.103 currently through BES at work.

I've never used letstalk.com so I can't help you there regarding rebates. Best I can do is to advise you pay attention to every bit of fine text and any Terms and Conditions associated so you don't get screwed in the end.

Downloaded latest BB Connect on my AT&T Fuze

NEVERMIND -- Me bad. Exe ran on windows machine and set up auto install on next connect.

IGNORE THE FOLLOWIG: I have been following this thread with interest. I downloaded the .103 cab and installed successfully on my AT&T Fuze but ran into the samed "PIN pending" problem mentioned above. I uninstalled .103 cab and downloaded .104 exe file above. I ran it on my Fuze, but it does not seem to install anything. Any advice?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kahibbi:
This may be a silly request/question ... but here goes. I have a personal cell phone, the Fuze (on AT&T). My company has forced me to carry a BB (on T-Mobile). I would like to get my corporate email coming to my Fuze so I only have to carry one phone. Is this even possible?

I won't give up my personal phone becuase that's how 99% of people contact me. But the BB is good for checking and responding to the all 'important' email without logging onto a laptop.

I had a Tilt that I could not get BBConnect to work on, but I'll admit I wasn't sure what I was doing. The bottom line ... I still don't know what I'm doing and I don't even know if what I want to do is possible.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] driz:
i called at&t gave them my fuze imei, asked for the blackberry plan for BES, they added it on. I installed .103 on the phone, had a pin and ip right away. VPN'd in to work, created an account for myself on the BES, set an activation password, went into bbconnect on my phone typed my work email and activation password, 5 minutes later i was getting far too many e-mails for my liking, but otherwise, working perfectly. I can even browse the ldap directory. every once in a while ill even see activesync syncing while bbconnect is running...

most people who have issues, have the wrong plan. for example, with the tilt, 8525 and 8125, which at&t does NOT support as bberry devices, you need to beg/borrow/steal a bberry imei, call at&t give them that, and add on whichever plan you need. BIS can use the cheapest plan, BES needs the most expensive one. its pretty easy when you get the right plan.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mumboender:
Okay...there are a couple of step by steps around but here I will give it a shot...I assume you are a BES user since it is work...

1. Download the newest version of Blackberry Connect and install it on your Fuze...at the end it will make you reboot. Do NOT sync it to your computer just yet...before it tells you it will reboot it will tell ask you to choose which PIM items to sync....make sure you are not connected via activesync or you either won't get this screen or won't be able to make changes...

2. Download Blackberry Connect Windows Mobile Desktop....you can get it from Sems.org install it on whatever computer hosts your local version of Microsoft Outlook for me its my laptop but maybe its your desktop.

3. Ensure your Outlook is running and connected to the server.

4. Start Blackberry Connect desktop for Windows Mobile on your computer.

5. It should detect your local Outlook and pop up the main screen and give you a PIN...this can take a couple of minutes or more depending on your connection.

6. Once it does connect your fuze and wait until the configure handset button shows on the screen of your computer...when it does push the configure hanset button.

7. It will then send all provisioning information to your fuze....once its done your fuze will act very sluggish for a while...that's because its downloading all the information over the air...

8. Enjoy!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tribalmunky:
The Tilt is an allowed device for BlackBerry connect actually, it's posted in AT&T and RIM's websites regarding it. I've been using it on the Tilt for months before I upgraded to the Fuze.

blackberry messaging

i know this is a stupid question. but is there any way to get blackberry messaging on the touch pro. Not the email program, but the actual messaging that every blackberry owner raves about.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kahibbi:
Thank you, but I can only select "Notes" for synchronization in the BB Setup. "Calendar", "Contacts" and "Tasks" are greyed out and cannot be selected. I confirmed that ActiveSync is NOT running on the Fuze before starting the process. I even did a soft reset for a second try and receive the same scenario ... only allowing "Notes" as a selection.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Also, I have always had a problem with syncing my Fuze (and previously the Tilt) while my laptop is connected to our corporate VPN ... meaning I am not allowed to sync my cell while I am connected via our VPN. I expect this will be an issue for trying to get BBConnect working on the Fuze. Any ideas how to overcome this? The corporate IT guys are no help whatso ever.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kmahesh:
same problem here.....

Update:

It worked for me. Once the desktop software is installed and handheld apps are also installed, follow through the installation step - which you've already done. Ignore the greyed option. Restart as it says. Once it comes back up, in your desktop, open the BB Mobile app and on the bottom, you will see "configure wireless handset", it will walk you through rest of the steps - basically assigns the new PIN to the handheld and you are all set to go.

After installation, I am starting to hate it for the following reasons:

1. I noticed heavy performance issue - may be due to both activesync and BB service running at the same time

2. Due to my company's security policy, i am forced to enter passwords - it is very very annoying with touch screen

3. Outgoing emails are in plain text

Desktop software for BB Connect

May be a silly question but the link on http://sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=338 has the desktop software version of 4.0.0.22. However, I thought the latest version of Desktop manager software was beyond 4.5. If the versions were to incrementally increase, why does Sems.org have an older version?

I am sure i am mistaken somewhere, so please help clarify.

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kahibbi:
I am seeing the same thing I saw when I tried to do this on my Tilt previously. After following your instructions, I rebooted my Fuze and launched BBC on the laptop. I selected "Default Outlook Profile" as the option to connect and received the following error message:

Cannot connect to mail server. Possible Reasons for this failure are:

1. Your exchange email account is currently in use by Outlook in offline mode. To correct this problem, please close all Outlook programs and press "Retry".

2. Your network connection is not operational. Please ensure that you are properly connected to the network and press "Retry".

So it's because of #2. I am not connected to my network ... BECAUSE, I can't sync my Fuze while connected to my corporate network. It is not possible due to my laptop's setup (security or whatever). If connected to my network, my Fuze doesn't sync to my laptop ... I have to be offline to sync my phone. Our IT dept. has no clue what to do, and even if they did they wouldn't tell me.

I was hoping to force the codes or something, but syncing while connected to my network is not an option. Any other ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] markam1955:
Basic Messaging performance after BBC installation ...

I am having a slightly different problem with BBC to the ones mentioned earlier in this thread.

I have the following setup:

HTC Touch Pro (Raphael)

ROM 1.90.707.4 WWE

Radio 1.02.25.19

Protocol 52.33.25.17U

The device works just fine, until I install BBC !

I have tried with both version 4.0.0.103, and now with 4.0.0.104, and both display the same symptoms when it comes to basic Messaging performance.

BBC installs and runs just fine. I can sync Emails, Tasks, Notes, Contacts (I have about 5000 of these) with Exchange, no problem. All works well, apart from Messaging.

When I try to access any Messaging inbox, the time it takes to get to the display can be anything from 10 to 60 seconds !!! This is for SMS and Email.

Before installing BBC, it takes a couple of seconds only.

I have tried clearing memory, and starting again ... many times already ... but always the same.

It may seem like a trivial problems, but its driving me crazy !!! Feel like junking the thing just because of this. The problem is that I have to use Blackberry for business, so have no choice. PushMail would be the obvious answer, but prohibited !

So does anyone have any ideas ? Could it be a bad version of the ROM perhaps ? Is there a later/better version I could try ?

I would go to HTC about this, but they don't officially support BBC it seems ... at least they don't have anything on their website these days about it for the Touch Pro.

Any/all suggestions most welcome.

thanks.

Mark
