BB Bold 9700 :: Data Services OFF / Still Shows 3G
Aug 30, 2010
I wanted to disable all data on the bb 9700 (OS 5.545?) and only use it as a phone/SMS.Question is i went into mobile network and i set Data Services to OFF.But i also read online that if its GSM it should change from EDGE to edge, and 3G to 3g.Well anyways on this phone its still saying 3G even tho data is OFF.
I am using a blackberry bold 9700 V5.0.0.862. My phone is unlocked and I am using it on the Fido network. I was away for 5 weeks, and while away I used a simcard from that country in my phone. When I got back to Canada, I put in my fido sim card and the internet was not working. I called Fido and they did a reset on my phone and still no data.
The tech did some trouble shooting as well as gave me the Fido APN info, I did the host routing table reset and still nothing. I have no idea what the problem could be but Fido has told me there is nothing else that they can do, as I am using an unlocked device. I cannot connect to the internet, my BBM does not work, and I am not receieving emails. I can make phone calls and send texts. I have pulled the battery out many times. My phone says 3G.I don't know if some of the setting on my phone locked from using the international sim, if my sim is corrupted, or if I need a new phone.
I got a blackberry 9930 from sprint and put in it Etisalat egypt sim cardIt was howing activation required message so i enterd the CDMA engineering screen changed the numver to my number and the movile country and network code.But now data services doesn't workI think because that Home sid and nidBlackberry reg id and the sip and mip as they're set to things about sprint?
I recently purchased a seconhand BB Bold 9700 from ebay, and after registering for BIS with my provider I have been unable to connect to the BIS at all, so no email or internet. The blackberry network dots appear next to the 3G symbol in the top right hand corner, but in service status it shows that the BIS is not connected. I have spent hours on the phone to my provider troubleshooting this problem. They have completely run out of ideas and have no clue why this is happening.
I've just switched carriers as I've moved to Barbados, but when i try to activate the data on my phone with the new sim, it says the phone is incompatible with the service.I was advised by the new carrier to cancel the old data plan (which was prepaid so i had just forgotten about it) and to try again. It's still not working.
I have a BB bold 9650 verizon. Got the phone from the US and am using it in India, Mumbai. I can use the phone and msg services. However I am unable to use the data services (bbm and the internet)
i am currently at outside of my country and i was using BBM and other softwares over wifi without any problems and i upgraded my OS to latest (593) and than i can access only internet browsing. BBM - facebook - twitter doesnt connects to the internet.
whats wrong with it? my data services are only wifi because of high charges of gprs while i am outside of my country and it has no problem before upgrading.
Network Name is on home screen + Wi-Fi indicator is dimmed.User Manual reads:Your device is connected to Wi-Fi network but does not have access to BlackBerry services over the Wi-Fi connection.After several hours perhaps overnight the Wi-Fi indicator comes on and then I HAVE "BLACKBERRY SERVICES". until the next time I leave the house and drive down the road.
My point iswhy should I have to wait an indeterminate length of time before I can use Wi-Fi internet services? From the time my Wi-Fi network name appears on the screen I should be able to access internet via Wi-Fi.what gives? How can I overcome this indeterminate waiting for the system to gain acces to "BlackBerry services" over Wi-Fi.
I just left the IPhone & converted to the 9700 & I absolutely love it! Does anyone know if ATT has some type of 3G map that shows future coverage? 3G is available about 1 mile from my home, so I am wandering with it being that close, if coverage will soon come my way.
bought a week ago and worked fine for 4 or 5 days but no longer connecting to a data network. Service provider said nothing to do with the service. my SIM in my old device works fine and gets data.
Once again my charging problems are back! It must be my battery because I have done a batttery pull and still its not charging properly! It shows the charging signal as tho it is charger but the battery never moves I have never seen anything like this! Looks like I'm goin to have to buy a whole new battery.
The Bold 9700 has a big prblem with its SMS service because it only shows the 1st sender only and I always think messages coming are from the same guy!! I can not answer because I am not sure of the sender as it doesn't show! what shall I do?
We have a contract IT person, so they are not helpful, but we do not have a BES. When I read or reply to messages in outlook the original message gets sent to the email on the blackberry again. Is there a way to turn this off?
I'm about to update my 9700 software from .545 to the most current one. My BB is activated on my company's BES server. Will I need to re-activate BES services after the software upgrade or does the activation remain when I back up my device during the upgrade process ?
how to unlock bb9700? I came across an app here for $10 and by installing it provided a code and thats about it. Just wondering if i do UNLOCK will that affect my current services or anything? i am on Telus (GSM)
My old bold 9700 OS 5 phone just died and I have a backup IPD file. My question is I just bought a 9780 phone with OS 6, will i be able to restore my data without any issues or losing data?
I can read and open my emails and junk but when I try to compose a email its says no message services configured. You will be redirected to setup wizard to setup an email account.
I acquired in Hong Kong the BB Bold 9700. I was told it is not a locked phone, and that I should be able to use it where I live. Indeed, as a phone, it is not locked, and I can do all phone functionality. However the following functions are not available and I wonder how to fix it: When I try to set email accounts, it only lets me the option to set enterprise server based email accounts; it does not let me the option to set Internet based personal accounts as appear in the manual I am also unable to use the device over WIFI networks; I can register them, connect and set them, but the actual browsing over the connection is not possible.
I recently added my gmail address to device. In Options/ Advanced options / Default services It only lists my Gmail account for contact List (Sync).I want to switch to my POP account as that is where I maintain my contact list.how do I get my POP acct in that list?
My Blackberry Bold 9700 shows white blank screen with text "app error 104". Most of the time, it happens after restarting my phone or sometimes it just pops out
The BB had very sensitive data on it so it would be advisable to erase its harddrive. According to one of the threads in Tech Support this can be done but I do not have the slightest idea whom I should contact regarding this matter, and if the remote destruction of the data is possible at all. The device has been bought off a shelf at a shop not through a GSM operator.
BOLD 9700, T-Mobile. I have current OS. I am receiving the above message when I try to reply to an email. Yesterday---I didn't have this problem. I go to email set up & my email addresses are there. When I am in message options, and choose Email Settings--- there isn't ANYTHING there.
I searched the forum multiple times this week and cant find an answer to my problem. since a week i suddenly lost my EDGE coverage and got now edge.email, bbm browser not working. host routing table is empty and i can't register my servicebooks. browser only works on wifi. if i try tu use it without wifi it says "this is hotspot browser" i have bis active. i reactivated it by calling my provider did battery pulls, os updates nothing worked out.one (litle thing i noticed the same day i lost coverage i got a message on my bb saying uncaught exeption adding byte out of range) i dont know if this has somthing to do with my problem are there crackberry addicts that can help me with my problem.
Since Monday, I have been experiencing problems with my data coverage at work. Some of my BBM's to friends are delayed, I can't get a net connection to use any apps (Facebook, Twitter, Shazam, App World) etc. My 'phone' signal as it were is fine. I receive texts and calls on time no problem.
Does anyone know what could be causing this, and how to fix it? It was fine up until Monday and I havent changed any settings or changed OS's. My data connection is fine everywhere else.I have also noticed, possibly becuase my phone is trying to receive a data signal that my battery is being drained by about 10% an hour.
I set the option to keep my calendar data forever, but I've noticed it still clear out the older entries.Today is 7/15, and the oldest kept data was 6/26 and I've been entering data in the calendar since Nov 09...Anyone has the same problem or know how to fix it?
I've called t-mobile support twice, and they confirmed that I have a data plan and don't know why I am getting this message when I try to access the internet. A colleague had this problem, and it was fixed by "reprovisioning" the blackberry. I had them try this but it did not work. Any idea why this is happening? I have business enterprise server, but it is not set up yet - could that be causing the problem?
