I cannot get the ATTWS system to accept new call forwarding settings from the phone with the new ROM. Can anyone else using the new ROM and ATTWS service verify if my problem is unique to my phone or ATTWS service or the T-Mo 4.00.10 ROM?
Thanks for your help.
Found the problem--Feature not activated on my account.
Yes, I had to activate too. But back when I first got my device. ATT should activate every free feature right away without having to be asked. Since you have ATT please answer this...do you get the little "G" on title bar when you are able to connect to GPRS? You can also see it when you go to turn the phone off by the title bar?
I have the new ver .10 rom and do not seem to have this "G" but I can still connect to GPRS. Just curious. Thanks.
Yes, I get the G on both. When I don't I cannot connect to GPRS.
Right - I've just spent half the day trying to configure my Unlocked XDA2 for the Orange network.
Making and taking calls - fine.
Sending and receiving texts - fine.
SMS, MMS, WAP, The Internet, Pass-thru activesync etc - you ARE joking aren't you!
I've follwed various Smartphone based help posts, but alas they are little use, as the Pocket PC is a very different beast, and even knowing the settings doesn't help, if you don't know where to put them etc (the XDA is totally different for setting up compared to a Smartphone).
So PLEASE - can someone, in plain english, simple step by step settings, help me get my XDA to fully work for all things, on the Orange Network please..?
Also, is there any easy way to get rid of the O2 Custimisation, and just have a standard Pocket PC theme?
o2 stuff if you mean on the today screen can be changed under settings and today screen there you can disable stuff you dont want there
if you mean in programs then you just delete programs you dont want in uninstall or in \windows\star menu\
about orange settings then i recommend you ask orange
since they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and since no operator have all that special ways of handling all that stuff
all you need is the info of what orange use
sms is a number in the settings which need to be set
most cellphone companys i know off auto adjust this though not sure about orange
MMS, WAP, The Internet(gprs)
you setup under settings\connections\connections and add the interfaces and enter the access points orange use
Pass-thru activesync
is something you activate on the pc in activesyncs options
I rang Orange, who put me through to Fax and Data, who in turn put me through to the ever so helpful Mandy in Level 3 Support, who rang me back on my home number, and spent the next twenty minutes helping me set it up.
It helped immensely however, that I had already fiddled on and created some of the stuff needed.
So far, I have yet to figure out how to get it to use my ActiveSync pass thru however, as it insists on making a GPRS connection, when in the cradle.
I have also not got it to Sync via Bluetooth yet.
And two curious things.
Despite my numbers being in a format +44 7736 111 111 (made that up), when I go to send an SMS, and use the contacts function to locate the number, it instead inserts it into the To Field, with the preceding + dropped off, and thus it wont send.
Lastly, despite being a new XDA2, its a US ROM version, and only radio version 1.05 - handy, in that it meant I could unlock it straight away, but curious, as a European market, that I receive a USA ROM - maybe its to do with the UK shortage.
But does anyone know how I set it up for a Pass-thru, and also how, or why, it drops the prefix + symbol from sending SMS, and thus causes it to fail unless I manually insert a +
Cheers.
about the +44 thing then make sure you have chosen the right country in settings that solve such issues most of the time
about pass though then now we are talking home and internet
it got some setting where you can choose if you are connected to home as in bluetooth usb or wifi or the internet if it think it's on the inetnet it will always use the grps
I'll admit, I take a lot of good info from these boards and am usually far too busy to post. But this time I feel I have something great to share.
I bought a TyTN the other day...got here Wednesday. I was sick so I didn't start to play much with it until today.
Let me just set the tone here: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AROUND MY CORPORATE IT DEPARTMENT FOR YEARS. FIRST I GOT MY SPRINT TREO TO GET BLACKBERRY EMAILS, BUT NOT TRUE PUSH...THEN I GAVE UP FOR A WHILE AND USED A SPRINT 7250...but BB's are A WASTE, LESS FUNCTIONAL, and just a POOR CHOICE for today's mobile professional.
Now I have found today: The HTC TyTN can VERY EASILY be made into a corporate BES-connected Blackberry if you so desire, and conencted to YOUR CURRENT corporate BES account, without their intervention! I have done this with my Sprint 7250 BB account, and done it back and forth all day from T-mo to Cingular (Cingular wins out because of 3G of course...gotta have good slingbox when I can!)
All you need is a 'blackberry enabled SIM card' (really, just add the unlimited BES ENABLED (NOT THE "PERSONAL") blackberry plan to T-mo or Cingular) and a corporate BES account (that you haven't been able to touch for years, LOCKING you to a USELESS paperweight of a dumb-phone!) I know some others were lucky enough to have a Cingular SIM card in their corporate BB already and this wasn't a big deal. But I was not and I see many other are having trouble starting out with with non-Cingular blackberry devices. So check out how I ended up getting my way, finally after 4 years!
0) Insert (or go buy) a personal, non-blackberry-enabled Cingular (3G) SIM card. You should be able to surf for UMTS/HSDPA data and all that...
1) Install BBConnectr_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16 on the HTC TyTN.
2) Install Activesync2.1.1.9 for mobile on the desktop.
3) Connect the HTC to the computer via USB, then open PC's Activesync 2.1.1.9. You will be asked if you want to change your PIN -- say YES! (you can always go back. Remember, it DOES NOT MATTER what service your BB is CURRENTLY through...we are going to make it through Cingular for you here in a second!)
4) Call Cingular and have them add the unlimited $49.95 blackberry plan, assumedly on top of your unlimited data plan. While I was willing to pay $145 a month to have everything in one device, just to spite my corporate IT department, here's the catch: They will come back and say you can't have both! Take the Unlimited blackberry plan (which will allow the PocketPC BB Connect software you installed to get through Cingular's network to "blackberry.net" So Instead of $40 for unlimited data, $10 more is getting my (and i have tested it) 3G data and blackberry.net access!
From there, you should be good like me.
I'm still figuring out the nuances, like how to minimize down-time after web surfing for BB connect to get back 'connected' again. I suspect in an all-3G area (in which i am NOT), this may not be an issue.
I have placed the updated, verified as working (on both T-mo and Cingular) versions of Activesync2.1.1.9 and BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16 in the "upload" directory of the web site. (as well as the 2.1 manual) That is /Hermes/Tools_and_Programs. Hopefully it gets moved over soon.
Keep on rocking everyone -- we are forging new capabilities together that make our lives easier, more fun, and more convenient!
Love and bruises,
Greg
It's your IT group that's at fault btw... I'm the technology guy for our IT group and we're getting rid of the BES and switching to direct push instead. Why? Tell your IT dept this: a BES places a 50% higher IO load on your Exchange server :shock:. This is because it must scan all blackberry enabled mailboxes every second or so looking for changes!
Now that devices like the Q have the MSFP, our execs have a nice alternative to their 8700s.
I've also installed LCS 2K5 with an Access Proxy and we are now all moving to Mobile Communicator for IM. This is a great little program that also gateways to AIM and Yahoo.
I believe IT should empower their users with technology, not be a bunch of Nazis.....

Just a quick one on this has anyone tried this on a XDA Exec on orange??
BAH ! ! !
Tytn has more functions, but isn't nearly as good of a phone - especially for someone who spends a lot of time driving

Sorry .. couldn't resist myself. :lol:
even though this doesnt belong in this forum i figured you guys would know. do cingular blackberrys (the 8700) work on the new 3g network? and can u install AIM (a version that does not use text messages)?
Just tested TyTN with BIS and BES solutions, all works fine!!!
Messages are coming through UMTS channel where UMTS signal is available!
When you get an email via BES, can you read the attachments though?
does it also wirelessly sync your calendar and contacts with BES?
I seem to have it all working but when I restart the tytn, the blackberry service doesn't connect. The config program says 'no connection' (although it was fine right after I installed) Has anyone else seen this and got round it?
Quick config question on BBConnect...
For all those that have this successfully working on a TyTN - did you have to tweak any connection settings on the PPC ?
I've installed BBConnect (2.1.2.16) onto the PPC and BBDesktop (2.1.1.18) onto the PC. Used Activesync and got all my calendar entries over. Now when I come to have the BBC connect wirelessly, it fails to connect and eventually goes into 'Suspended by User' state.
I played around and defined a connection called 'Blackberry' with all the settings 'blackberry.net, rim, password etc..) and can now actually get it to Connect successfully...
The issue now is that no email flows.... in fact nothing flows at all and I can't send a message as it indicates it's a 'malformed message'.
Any ideas ?
I've had Cingular confirm that my data account is set up for 'BlackBerry Connect Unlimited'...
I never had a blackberry before so I'm into new territory here...
Any advice on how to get this working ?
Cheers
Dave
Does anybody knows which is the correct cingular blackberry plan for USA??????
Since some of you appear to have gotten Blackberry Connect working with Cingular on a mobile device I'm hoping you can give me some useful information. I have the service in place from Cingular, and have the understanding that with Blackberry Connect from Cingular I need no other data plan from them. It will cover all of my other data services. This part seems to be working fine. What's not working is the Blackberry Connect software itself. It always gives me "Blocked - Radio In Use". I am wondering if it is because I have a connection set up for "MY ISP" based on Cingulars default installation. If it's supposed to be using Blackberry Connect for data, should I be deleting the MY ISP configuration? Could that be what's keeping the radio in use? I would assume the only thing using the radio should be the Blackberry Connect service since that's the only plan I have.
Help?
Thanks
I get a message that the program cannot determine the type of network and to ensure the radio is on when I try to run Blackberry Connect for Pocket PC on my unlocked HP hw6945. It installed fine from the hosted exe file.
My theory is that the problem is the program is looking for the phone's frequency/band settings in WM5. The HP hides these as it features an automatic band/frequency transition radio. Does anyone know how to unhide WM5's menu and settings for the phone band/frequency?
BTW I have a new 64k Cingular smartcard sim with Blackberry Connect service (verified working with my Blackberry 7100t unlocked).
Hi all !
Was anybody able to run BlackBerry Connect on Cingular 1.31 ROM ?
It was run without any problems for me on 1.34, but does not work on 1.31.
Anybody else with the same problem ?
Regards,
baudy2
I followed HTC TyTN - Replace your blackberry instructions and software installs fine on Cingular 8525. I received system book from BES, but after the 8525 connects, a few minutes latter the Blackberry goes to "Suspended by user" and email is never received. Does anything else need to be setup, ie a different connection in the network connections on the device?
Thanks

The Calendar and Contacts works fine!! You need to find the contacts....its the same of BBconnect for Nokia.
But you cant view all the attachments, only excel, word.....
Not read .jpg .mp3 and more.
HP6945 update
I happened to go overseas last week and while there and roaming on O2 I was able to get past the second screen and get the BB Connect to start. However, it would not generate the PIN (status: "pending"). Hoping that once past that obstacle once back on Cingular US I could get further, but no joy.
Right now I'm trying the Xpress Mail product which pushes and syncs calendar and email via a redirector; it seems to be finicky though.
Hi guys,
As the new owner of O2 Exec, that I purchase in second hand shop, I come up with some questions and issues. Of course, I tried to find my answer on the forum but couldn't find it so I was thinking maybe some experienced users might have the answer.
Also some information about the configuration of my O2 Exec:
O2 Exec
Rom Version: 1.30.107 WWE
Rom Date: 04/11/06
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.162 WWE
I have unlock the exec and I am using it with a T-Mobile sim card in the UK. I am also register with Web'n'walk (Unlimited GPRS data plan).
I am synchronizing the Exec with Exchange server and I am using the email push.
See below:
- When I plugged the exec by Usb for active sync, I got an error on my laptop saying that I can't synchronize. If I unplug the cable and plug it again, it tend to works (Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to kill active sync on my laptop and start it again). Any ideas?
- Is there a way to completely block the data transmission when I am abroad. In fact, before I was using a Blackberry and there was an interesting option which allow to block all data connection when you are Roaming. Good to avoid bad surprise with the expensive data roaming fee.
- When I am using TCMP to listen to music. It starts to play fine, and then suddenly i got an error saying that the file can't be found on the SD card. I didn't remove the card and I can see that the card is still there in the file explorer.
- Does the email Push can work with Wifi or only with GPRS? If yes, how can I configure this?
- How can I check on the today screen that my bluetooth is paired correctly. I use to have a Blueangel with WM2003 and I remember that there was an icon in the top bar with a headset to indicate that the bluetooth headset was paired. The only workaround so far is to press my bt headset and see if the voice dialing window come up. I think there might be a better way.
- Is there a point for me to upgrade my Radio version? I tried to do it but get an error that the country code wasn't correct or something like this. If it brings improvement can you please give me some information on how to do upgrade it on a O2 exec since it is an Orange upgrade?
- I am using Web'n'walk in the uk with only GPRS. I configure the gprs parameter with the information from the internet. The information given by the customer services where not working. Is there any way to use the UMTS (i.e. 3G) instead of GPRS. The customer services told me that I have to upgrade my plan to do so. Anybody have another solution?
To conclude, this handset is a really impressive machine. As I say before, I used to have a Blueangel and I can see that a lots of things have improved since then.
Sorry for my big list of questions and thank you very much for your help.
Julien.
Web'nWalk with UMTS
I have a Web'nWalk tariff on t-Mobile.
If your sim is a recent one (mine is a year old), it can handle both GPRS and UMTS depending on availability. Older sims cannot - you have to request a new one. This was confirmed by T-Mobile support as well as my experience with the sim. It drops to GPRS where there's no 3G coverage, and I get good speed with 3G (UMTS) in most parts of London
You need to set Network Type to Auto (Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band) if the current default is GSM.
Hope this helps.
Hey all,
(T-mobile UK btw)
I've been using a WM6 rom I got here ages ago for my Hermes. It's been a great performance boost in that it's cut down and slimline so seems to free up a little more program menu...
However there have been some persistent problems I haven't fixed yet....
I managed to set up Web 'n' Walk with some general settings I found on the internet...but I can't get MMS or voicemail to work.
For voicemail I dial 121, get the same 'the settings have been sent to your phone' and a text arrives saying 'Network Pers' but it never works, not on deleting or rebooting - think it only works on 'normal' phones. Anyway I can then usually ultimately get through to voicemail. Although it stops all the links to voicemail from the handset working.
MMS is the really anoying thing however.
I've noticed one additional problem...which is that now incoming calls terminate my internet connection to web'n' walk and I don't think that was the case before.
Lastly if anyone is using t-mobile UK can I ask them to recommend a good radio rom as the one I'm using seems to have some (occasional) conenction issues and a cracky line - especially if the other person's phone isn't too hot either but I do also occasionally get it on landlines.

Radio ROM - 1.50.00 was ripped from the official T-M UK WM6 upgrade (so I'm lead to believe). Anyway, it's a great Radio for T-Mobile.
MMS - you need to set the MMS up separately from Internet, then send an MMS to yourself (and check it was received) before others can send an MMS to you.
Voicemail - just hold down the 1 key on the virtual keypad, should work.
Terminating calls - If you're using GPRS, an incoming call will terminate the data connection. Only 3G can operate data and voice simultaneously (and sometimes the data call still drops)
If all else fails, use the official WM6.0 ROM from the T-Mobile upgrade website (http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sa_vario.html), this will include the 1.50.00 Radio ROM and is guaranteed to work as soon as you've called your voicemail and sent an MMS to yourself. I've used CRC's 13.0 WM6.1 ROM with no issues, however.
