I have recently bought Blackberry curve 8520 smart phone and was trying to get Wi-fi working on my phone. I had set up the connection from the wi-fi but when I start browsing i think mobile network internet start's working and not the wi-fi one, though the wi-fi network name appears with the mobile network name on the home screen??

If I turn off gprs for data, nothing happens at all 'cannot connect to server' Wi-Fi working fine for all pcs and laptops in the house.
I can't get a wifi connection set up on my bb curve 8520, just keeps telling me no connection found when I do a search.

So I am not able to connect to the internet, without my data plan? How do i make that white line a Green check, one?

And under the "Default Browser Configuration, I can see T-mobile internet and Hotspot browser alone.

Please ensure your device has an active wifi connection and try again'. Why is this? Also, when i try to update to 5.0 it says I need a data package but it worked on my old phone. And because of this I can't download the app world. The signal goes to SOS a lot as well but I think my house blocks the signal. Currently it says 'gprs' with 2 bars beside it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my phone to a blackberry cure 8520 about 3 weeks ago, and I haven't dropped it or anything. It has been very well taken care of. Now the screen is completely black, and its plugged in but the red light doesn't turn on and if I try to turn the phone on nothing happens (No White Screen, No Red Light, Nothing!) Like I said this phone is not very old, and it was working a couple of hours ago and had almost half of its battery power left. The problem happened after I plugged the blackberry in. It was fine until then.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNow I've had this phone for about 2 months...decent phone, few problems here and there but good for the most part.
I originally got one which had a dead pixel on it, and was sent a replacement phone free of charge, no hassle.
Now with this phone, about a week ago I noticed a black faded spot on my screen upon waking up, having it charge overnight.
You can really only see it when there's a bright white background or if you tilt the phone, its about 1/4".
I called Fido, they said to do a system restore/backup to see if that resolves the spot. Didn't work.
I call back, they said they'd ship one out and have a tech check it out and determine if it was caused by physical damage, and if it was I'd be invoiced $200 for a refurbished phone and not able to get this unit back.
Now I'm pretty sure I didn't drop or ding or pinch my phone, but I cannot be entirely sure. It's also protected by an Otterbox Defender series case which is pretty rugged...but I'd hate do be billed for $200 when I guess I could learn to live with the spot, but still sucks considering I paid full price for it and I don't believe i caused any damage to it..
Anyone else experience similar problems with their LCD's?
Is there a way to set it so when I get a text message it displays on the screen? Like when you get a phone call? Right now, my ringtone goes off, but the screen stays black.

I did not have any problems with whatsapp at the beginning but when I tried to take a photo and send it, my bb rebooted and then I started having that problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI got a new Curve 8520 just resently and have a problem with my internet connection. I use my Curve without data plan/bis. To go in the internet I use Opera 5.0 and for Emails logicmail. To connect to the internet, I changed my APN according to my provider setting:
apn: internet (thats for o2 Germany)
No authentification
Username/PW: blank
On the first day, everything worked just fine, Opera aswell as Logicmail. I also had a EDGE symbol in the upper right corner. On the second date I found, that Opera and logicmail would not connect via Wifi. So I started to play around with settings. Anyway, since then Opera and Logicmail refused to connect via EDGE, however Wifi worked.... I could not figure out the ressons, so I tried to undo my setting changes. And yesterday I was finally able to connect via EDGE again. And here is the funny thing: This morning, I got the same errors agian, when trying to connect via EDGE. I did not do anything with the phone last night, it just refuses to connect. It still shows me the edge sign, but opera always tells me, that it is unable to connect. I set the application application permisson for both programs to "prompt" under the point "internet" to see if the phone even tries to connect, but it does not. Wifi still works fine. It seems that my Blackberry forgot about EDGE and always wants to connect via wifi.Can anyone help me out here?
so my next post. i reported some problems previously about my phone about BB app world not working unless its on wi fi as well as facebook and it specifies as something to do with service provider and data plans as problems, which they say everything is alright. as its too late for phone vodafone i thought i would try here first.
everything on my phone is working fine (BB messenger, emails, browsers, texts etc etc) but like i said app world and fb arent. App worlds works perfects whilst using wifi, but as soon as theres no wifi it stops working.
i found out that when i turn the wi fi off on the manage connections part and check the service status, under Blackberry Internet Service it says no connection. and im unsure how to change this. When the wi fi is on it says 'connection: wi fi'. and i was told when i turn this off it should turn to my service provider (vodafone) but it doesnt. so im guessing the main problem is something to do with this.any way to get it working
For the past 3 or 4 days each morning I wake up my 8530 has lost the data connection. When I open "Manage Connections" I see a green check mark next to Mobile Network- Verizon Wireless and Wifi so I know it's connected. If I un-check the Mobile Network and wait for it to disable then reconnect it will work fine and all my e-mails and texts from the night get pushed through. I have great service at my house so I'm not sure why my phone keeps losing the data connection at some point during the night. I am running the latest OS .886 and this is my second 8530 "certified pre-owned device" as my first 8530 died. I also did a battery pull the first day I noticed this which re-connected the data but it happened again when I woke up the next morning.Has this happened to anyone else?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy girlfriend has a BB Curve 9300, it was working all fine on the OS5. Last weekend she asked me if i could update her software, and i did so from the Blackberry Desktop Software and updated to OS6. Everything was working fine until we found out that it only connects to the internet if i use data service, but i dont want to because we have wi-fi at home. When i turn data services and while roaming OFF, and put wi-fi preferred, and when i try to open a web page in the browser it pop ups a window saying "Data Services are disabled. Go to Mobile Network to enable".

But to get the phone to use it for BIS I have to turn off the mobile network and then turn the mobile network back on. But after a few mins it goes back to using the mobile network for BIS and stops using the wifi and it does not go back to using the wifi until I turn off the mobile network again.
