Why does my data usage continue to rise even though my phone is not being used. I shut everything down and got rid of all downloads and email connections? Can my usage be stolen?
View 1 RepliesGoing on a cruise next week that has GSM roaming on it. I plan to leave the phone off unless I need to check in with someone in US.I know that the voice rate will be $4.99 per minute, but how do I turn off the data portion of the phone to not rack up crazy roaming data charges. I do have unlimited international email but suspect the cruise ship does not count.

I don't know how to make sure that the phone is navigating through Wi-Fi and when it is not! That is why I also would like to know a list of the most common app that NEVER work with Wi-Fi.
Been waiting for my Torch to arrive (my first own BB) Have been using friends old Bold and had it all set up with my email, contacts etc. (never went via my Mac). So was all ready to copy data & settings - firstly hit the problem of not being able to use mini-CD for BB User Tools with my Mac - so downloaded it from internet as well as BB Desktop Software 6.Despite the basic printed instructions which came with my Torch telling me I would get a Dialog box with the option to "copy Data and settings from another device" - there appears to be no such option available. The options seem very limited. My friends who lent me the Bold keep talking about using Desktop Manager and certainly so many posts I read here mention it - but it doesn't seem to exist on the software I have.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have looked all over my phone and cannot find where to check my data useage, phone timers to see how long i talked to a certain number, how many e-mails or text messages were sent.
I wanted to know my data useage because I use the Wifi when I'm at home and I wanted to run Pandora when I slept and didn't know if it would run off my wifi or my data. The phone said data useage charges still apply but I didn't know what my current useage was first off then secondly if my wifi would cover it or not.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just updated BB6 and lost much valuable data on sever apps I use for tracking my medical informaiton. For a diabetic loosing my glucose records is dangerous. I use Glucose Tracker and now not only is the data gone but I must buy the pass code again. The same goes for tracking my weight and my blood pressure. If I had known I might lose that data I could have made provisions or not have updated the system.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy son has a blackberry torch 9800 and we recently went to the Dominicon Republic at which time I told my son not to use his phone for nothing but texts since i added a plan for that while we where gone.However I got my Virgin Mobile bill to find out I had 173.00 in data charges so i looked at my bill and found it showed his phone was using data pretty well every hour we where gone except when the phone was turned off.Can anyone tell me why this phone would be using data and browsing when it was not being used but was merely turned on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to add my son on my AT&T plan and put a chip in th 9810 torch that I no longer use. This phone was an outright purchase with no contract. When he is home or around any wifi hotspots, let him surf and stream Pandora to his hearts content. When not in range of wifi I want to prohibit all data access other than the unlimited text and phone. Is this possible? I've seen posts about setting the browser options to use wifi but the talk has been when wifi is no longer available it switches to the BB data. This is what I'm trying to prevent.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 new 9850s, both on US Cellular network, one is mine and the other one is my wife's. No enterprise, both BIS. They are both running OS 7.0 2048. I am having the same problem on both phones. Battery pulls do not fix the issue. Resending service books and pushing the HRT temporarily fixes it.Whenever we enter a spot that drops the data connection (the symbol in the top right changes from 3Gwith the 4 dot blackberry symbol, to just the 3G only SYMBOL) we stop receiving emails. This also happens if we are in an area that is 1X and changes to 1x. I understand why our emails stop, because the data service is unavailable. That's not my issue.My issue is this...when we do move back into an area that has data service, the data connection is not automatically restored. I have to manually go into each phone and push the host routing tables to reregister the devices to get them to receive data again.US Cellular said that they've done everything and that their end is working fine. We just changed from curves and never had a problem getting emails before. If I did lose the data signal, it would immediately reconnect when the data signal was available again.It seems like the Torch units simply stop looking for a data signal after a time of unavailability, like it looks for data and says "We'll guess i'm in an area with no data service. I'm going to just quit looking", but then never remembers to check again later.The wi-fi is off all the time.
It really sucks to have to register the phone over and over again after each trip into my warehouse, where there is no data service available. And its really strange that it is both phones.Apparently there are for signal modes on this phone...1x, 1X, 3G, and 3Gwith bb symbol. If mine drops from the 3G with bb symbol, emails just stop coming and I can no longer connect to email settings. Whats worse is that I have to push the HRT to get reconnected.Does anyone have any suggestions?i don't want to have to defect to an Android device, but this phone simply hasn't been reliable so far. I can't imagine it's US Cell network because our Curves have always worked fine. And I also can't imagine that i purchase 2 defective Torches. These has to be a setting somewhere that will force the phone to search for a data signal all the time and not just give up.
how do I turn off my e-mail (easily and quickly, if possible) without turning off data on my Torch? I want data working but want to be able to turn e-mail off and on when needed.

Having around 200 or so contact entries would make it a tedious adventure to re-enter every single data one by one so I'm hoping there is an easier more automated alternative to my problem. I would really like to have my contacts birthdays reminded to me through the calender?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe instant my browser starts to load a page my phone switches from wifi to 3G (I see it switch up on the top bar). I don't know how long this has been going on; I learned about it this month after getting wifi in my home and cutting my data plan from 2GB to 200MB--and going over ther limit.My wifi signal ranges from -39 to -67 dBM, which is in the full to three-quarter range on the wifi signal indicator. The service status indicates I'm connected, and wifi diagnostics indicates no issues. If I turn off my mobile network, the browser uses the wifi with no problems. Lastly, my BB app RSS newsreader uses wifi with no problem, and when invoking the browser from within the newsreader, the browser stays on wifi!RIM technical support said this is happening because my phone senses my mobile carrier signal is stronger than wifi, so it uses mobile data instead. In other words, this is a "feature".I don't buy it. Everything I've read says the web browser should use wifi if it's available.
