on my BlackBerry Curve 9320 normally I have a very good WiFi connection because my router is directly next to me. Since two days I have the problem that, when I'm on Wifi, it does not work any connection (not even the Browser); on the mobile network everything works fine. I've restarted my device many times but the problem is still there. It's a bit crazy because I got the phone only 1 month ago.
On a embedded PC I've configued a hotspot for mobile devices - any device can connect to WiFi it provides and use it to access websites. However one of our customers told us that he can't use it with Blackberry.Only funcionality we need is website access, no need for UMA or any other extra BB-specific features.First problem we had was that BB couldn't associate to hotspot at all. That is fixed now by disabling 'wmm' on hotspot.Problem that stays open is accessing websites. The browser is set to 'hotspot mode' but whenever i enter url in a browser the request times out. The gateway is correct, DNS-server (gateway itself) is correct too, IP address is assigned correct.I dug into it and i can see that most of DNS queries don't reach the hotspot at all. When i try DNS test utility results are the same - most DNS queries don't reach hotspot. I can see BB exchanging ARP 'who has' APR 'is at' packets and thats all.Ping to my hotspot works when i chose 'WiFi -gateway' (however it responds only once after ~1600ms, later requests time-out). When I try to ping it via IP all request time out (however i can see in logs that ping reaches my hotspot and it responds immediately).Hotspot config is atheros (2413) based wifi card in ap mode. Driver is ath5k from 2.6.38 kernel. I use hostapd to create wifi network and dnsmasq as DHCP/DNS server.
I have a blackberry storm and i want to connect it to my home wi-fi but when i open manage connections it just don't show any option for wi-fi setup it only display mobile network n Bluetooth option and nothing else.
I had my nexus one screen broken; the touch still working but the image is not displayed clearly. I live outside USA where there is no supporter for nexus one. So I need to order the required spare part to fix my device either by me or by technician. I don't want to send my phone to be repaired then wait until get it back so it will spend a lot of time and money. I found the below link where i can buy spare part but Im not sure which one I can order: LCD or touch panel? the image is not displayed properly but the touch still working!
[URL] if there is better seller for nexus one spare parts where I can find it cheaper please send me the link.another question do the screens amonia2 or htc desire works for nexus one?
I'm from Mumbai India and use a service provider "Loop Mobile". When I have my data settings on, I am able to perform all the BlackBerry functions, such as BBM, Email, etc. When I turn off data, and am on a Wifi network, I can only use the browser, There is no connection to the BlackBerry service. This problem is with all the people I know on Loop Mobile. With other users on Vodafone or Airtel, only wifi works perfectly fine.Please help! It is very expensive to use data when on International Roaming!
i have been unable to connect to blackberry services when using wi-fi.everything works normal using the mobile network.when i check the connection status while using wifi it says blackberry internet is not connected however i can access Internet and browse the internet while all this is going on. its just the blackberry services which are affected.
My playbook just decided not to connect to the wifi. I have my friends playbook right beside it, I checked to make sure all the settings were the same, yet it won't connect.
The bars are not illuminated.
When I goto to setup I can connect, and it appears to connect, then when I goto the main screen it is not connected. My playbook is a few months old (and I have connected to many Wifis) and I recently updated (mid-feb) to the new operating system, but it has been working fine until yesterday.
I use my wifi 24/7 then one day the radio just turn off and will not turn back on. When i select wifi under manage connections; the red 'x' remains and 'turn all connections off' greyed out. If i try turning on the wifi radio from setup wifi network i get a message saying 'Unable to to turn wifi on'. This is frustrating as my carrier data service is extremely slow.
I currently have no BIS on my curve 8520. I do have a wi-fi connection though.I thought that everything on the phone would thus work normally as long as I have wi-fi.But I see my email doesn't work as well as some other applications like google maps.what does/doesn't work with wi-fi on the phone ?
My Blackberry refuses point blank to connect to my home WiFi even though it says it is. Updates are a complete joke and nothing on the blasted thing works.
We have developed a WIFI marketing unit which stores locallised content on a linux PC and serves it by WIFI.Basically, you connect to the unit by WIFI and surf the information, and there is no internet as such so you cant go onto Google or anything. The unit has a 3G connection simply for us to update content and download usage stats.It works fine with Android and Iphone etc, but seems to struggle with Blackberry's. We can use a WIFI key if needed but would prefer not to.Does anyone know the best way to do this, do we need a WIFI key and if so, is it WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc etc.Or can we remove the WIFI key completely.From what I've seen, it appears that the blackberry favours the mobile connection over WIFI to get to the web, whereas, if I turn off mobile connection, it then connects fiune through the WIFI and shows the content
I purchased recently a second hand Blackberry Playbook and the first thing I did was a software update. After the update the device booted normally but it couldn't detect any of WiFi (802.11b/g) access points that I have home and in my work (3 different hotspots in total). I searched on the support site for the problem and I saw that some others have faced the same issue and they fix it by doing a full wipe out (factory reset). So I tried the same with no success, now my device boots and I am unable to complete the first registration that can only be done via WiFi. I also tried to re-update the device several times using the latest Desktop Software, but the result is always the same no Wifi detected.I contacted the Greek subsidiary of the store that the device purchased and they told me that I must contact with RIM central branch because the RIM support policy about this product (Playbook) is that customer gets support directly from them. The store that the Playbook originally purchased is Expansys France and I have scanned the invoice as evidence of legal purchase and valid warranty.Please advice me how can I get support for the product because I sent an email and the reply tells me that I need to submit BlackBerry inquiry via approved channel Blackberry Playbook wifi problem.
i have blackberry curve 8900 version 4.6.1.114 and i'm using the older version of facebook blackberry version 1.6.0 because i've read that you can use wifi with the older facebook version without data plan. however i still can't connect. it says "could not connect because a data service is not available...etc" i tried to turned it off and remove the sim card and battery however it's still not resolved. is there any other way i can use facebook blackberry using wifi?
why if I have wifi I still get some charge on my data? It's like an Oximoron if I spend on aquiring a router and monthly charge for this serv. I still get data charges?
1- when i'm using the device by itself, all indicators show that auto-switching is working when wifi is available. ok, bb gurus, i can't afford any surprises on my bill, so...is it really working all by itself, or am i gonna have to play the "disable this, enable that" game to make sure?
2- when i'm tethered, i see my device is being used as a standard dial-up modem, so clearly there's no wifi to be had. but...during tethering, is there any hardware config that allows my device to become a wifi adapter instead of a modem?
3- i think i don't have hotspot capabilities, is that correct?
btw-i absolutely love how easy it is to check service/connection status.EDIT: i just noticed that when i have wifi, the ssid shows up next to the "AT&T" on the main screen, i walked back & forth across the street and watched it change...holy-moly i'm digging this phone!

My daughter just bought an 8520, she has since been told by three Tesco customer care advisors that it is not possible to connect to our bt hub, is this correct?
I have a tethering plan with my blackberry. I would like to tether my xoom wifi to my blackberry phone via bluetooth. Im able to do this with my laptop with no issues. I purchased the WIFI version with the idea of being able to use tethering while away from usable wifi.
I just received a replacement Torch (9800) yesterday and I switched everything over from my old phone using the BB desktop software swich phone function. I haven't received any e-mails from any of my accounts on my new phone, so I went into settings- e-mail accounts to update my settings. When asked to login with my BB ID, it does not recognize my ID (I get the message "The user name is invalid. A user name must be at least 4 characters). I have confirmed that my username IS valid as it works on my PC and for appworld and I have verified that it is being entered.
I just recently bought a new BlackBerry Bold 9000, and this is the only BlackBerry I have ever owned. When I opened it it did not have a plan currently activated on it. I as able to access the internet through Wi-Fi, however the connection will randomly drop and then reconnect frequently.
Where can I get my BB repaired? BB services are not working, tried absolutely everything (pulling battery, wiping, new OS, got help from network provider as well) and it seems my BlackBerry is broken. Do they do that at all? I don't really want to spend money on a new phone right now, especially when my BB is working - calls, texts, even internet, just nothing that requires connection to BB (BB icon doesn't appear) or wireless (I'm not too sure but I think that bluetooth and wifi are not working either).
