Hi, I just bought a MDA Vario and downloaded the software to sim-unlock it. I've been using it on Vodafone for a few days and have some problems:
Wi-Fi:
I can turn wireless on, but when I then go to IE to start surfing, it tries to connect using GPRS instead of Wi-Fi. How do I get it to use Wi-Fi instead?
Bluetooth:
I can Sync my device to my PC using Active Sync 4.1 over USB, but when trying to do this over bluetooth, I keep getting told that the device can't find a an existing Bluetooth partnership, even though I've set one up (several times)! What could I be doing wrong?
ROMS:
I've got the T-Mobile ROM on my phone, but I'd rather have a standard (non-network specific) ROM. Where can I download such a ROM? Would ther ebe any issues in overwriting the T-Mobile ROM with a Standard one? Which ROM is the "best"?

If WiFi is on and connected successfully to the network, it should use WiFi. I sometimes find if I wander about, and the phone loses site of my Access Point without me noticing, the next time I request a webpage it will fire up GPRS. You say you're connected, but it sounds like the Vario doesn't think so. Are you sure you've got WEP/WPA keys correct, and that the Wireless AP isn't using MAC filtering? Have you been able to get onto the net with IE at all, or has it always tried to get out over GPRS instead?

When you pair the Vario with the PC, both ends will offer a list of Bluetooth profiles they support. When I tried with my laptop and a 3com BT dongle, despite it working fine with my old iPAQ, the Wizard didn't seem to think that the laptop offered the ActiveSync service (or maybe the laptop didn't think the phone did, I can't remember for sure). You need to make sure that the Vario (if that's the "device" that's complaining) believes the PC is offering ActiveSync as a Bluetooth service, or it will assume it's only paired with other phones, GPS's, headsets etc, but nothing with which it could activesync.

The ftp site here hosts a load of ROM's. I don't know of any that are noticeably better all around than any others. I have a Qtek phone, and although the later ROM fixes the BT voice-dial wake-up problem it also breaks, MMS and some bits of WiFi for some people. Others have installed the WWE version of a ROM and found that the keyboard doesn't match their hardware layout and some keys are wrong. They've then gone and broken button mappings trying to fix the keyboard problem. I know T-Mobile are the least subtle in their customisation, and many people seem to want to get rid of the pink look. I don't believe there is a clear winner in the ROM stakes. I've seen a few sigs that suggest people are starting to cook their own ROM with the GSM stack from one, the WiFi from another or whatever combination suits them. If you're up for doing the same, be my guest, but you may, unless you're experienced, find yourself worse off than you are now.
Have a look over in the "upgrading" forum and see what people seem to be using there. Be aware though, a lot of the "old timers" will be using I-Mate or Qtek devices which hit the streets before the O2 and T-Mobile variants, so they have had less device specific customisation done and were probabaly running a generic WWE (or localised) version anyway.
Hope that helps?

Dear All,
I've downloaded (from Vodafone mentioned in this Forum) the Blackberry connect Client (VPA Compact III) and I've installed it on my Tytn (with SIM as Blackberry company service and the Activesync BB on my PC) without any problems.
After the PIN syncronize, when I start the service on my Tytn, it works only for 2/3 seconds after that it goes automatically in NOT CONNECT. I've read the PDF document, and I've done the correct installation and so on ...
Where I worng ???
Is there anybody to use/work with the BB on Tytn ???
Is necessary to install the BB connect on Tytn with the SIM (with the BB serive active) present on Tytn ???
Please help me :roll:
Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Ciao, Cesare

During my tests, I've installed more BB connect versions on my Tytn, and it didn't work. Before to install the correct version one (here: http://support.vodafone.de/index_l3_2z.html#vpacompactIII), I've done a hard reset, I've installed the correct BB connect (2.1.2.16), I've installed the BB desktop 2.1 on my PC, I've set the company mail (Blackberry service instead of Internet instant mail), I've sync them and after that it works
P.S.:
I've got a company phone: Blackberry 7100v, and for my test I've installed the company SIM on my Tytn ...

hi
i have also a problem with my mda vario II. it cannot connect register to the blackberry server in our company. i test various files from vodafone and from xda-developers but with no sucess. everytime in the status field stand No Connection. But the gprs connection works fine when i use it with ie or other programs which uses it.
also i tested the sim in my old mda III where it works fine. i also deleted the account on the bes and createt a new one without sucess.
are there any settings that i have to make??
thanks
daniel
That's very strange :shock:
Have you tried with a hard reset, and install the correct BB connect :?:
Ciao, Cesare
today i tried it also to connect with blackberry. i made a complete reset of the mda varioII and installed the blackberry client from the vodafone site. but nothing changed, i already get no connection when i want to register to blackberry.
after that i called my provider(t-mobile austria) for help with my problem. there i get the information that there is no BB-client from them at the moment. they also said that my downloaded BB-client from vodafone will never work with my t-mobile device. but when i try this client with my mda pro and mda vario blackberry works perfect without any problems.
is there anybody who have a working mda varioII with a t-mobile rom and BB-client?
Great stuff... Don't normally post but just wanted to let you all know that the Vodafone Blackberry Connect software works a treat on my Dopod 838 Pro with Starhub in Singapore. Real push Lotus Notes e-mail from our company server in Houston.
Thanks a lot ,

Problems conecting to BES
I installed the BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16 on my TyTN, the ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9 on my desktop, syncronized with the BES, and the status does not show conencted, it says network available for a while and then gets back to not connected. I tried blackberry support, HTC support, Cingular support (which I verified that I have the blackberry connect unlimited plan active) and nothing. Can someone help me please.........
JaimeCS,
I had a similar issue... and found the oddest behaviour.
When I had a UMTS connection - it wouldn't connect at all...the BBC client tried to start a connection, then gave up. After about 3 attempts over a minute, it finally goes back to 'Suspended by User'.
Now, here's the odd part. When I tried this again from the Office, I'm out of UMTS coverage and only get EDGE, this time it connected ! I go back home to UMTS coverage and it fails again.
But now I'm on to the next problem. I get NO EMAIL whatsoever coming down... it just sits there... I've verified the server set up since I got a Blackberry to try it out (god, that HW is ugly).
Let me know if any of this helps ? plus if you get it connected using Cingular !!!
Cheers
Dave
I made work part of the problem, I manually switched the network and the band to GSM in the device, and the status is connected and the messages are not syncronizing with my BES. Blackberry support sais that Cingular needs to active the services. Then, I realized that I have two services from Cingular the unlimited PDA and the blackberry connect unlimited. I used to have the "G" in the screen because of the unlimited PDA plan and not from the blackberry connect. Cingulr removed the PDA unlimited plan from my account, and now I don't have neither internet not blackberry..... does anybody knows which is the correct blackberry plan in USA?
THis is the only way as of this date that I have found to get Blackberry Services for BES to work on my wizard. Im sure there is little difference in setting up BB for BIS.
The following ROMS have been tested and DID NOT WORK:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Radio_Roms/Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only.zip
(This is assuming you already have Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 installed already and are using a completely unlocked phone)
1. Download all 4 files listed above
2. Make sure your handheld is connect via MS Active Sync
3. Run--> "RUU_Prodigy_2170702....exe" Follow prompts till finished. (Upon reboot you should see the QTEK logo on your Wiz Screen)
4. Go thru the Standard Screen alignment tests and so on till you get to your Palmtop (Avoid synchronizing MS ASync till the last step)
5. After Unzipping "Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only.zip" Run--> "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" Follow Prompts till finished. (Complete the handheld tests)
6. Next, Run--> BBConnect_Pocket_PC_BB_2.1.2.16.exe (You should see it install the Blackberry Service.cab onto your handheld)
7. Just hit next a few times and ok, out of the BB configuration screens as we will be configuring that later.
8. Be sure you have an account on your BES before continuing.
9. Install ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_2.1.1.9.exe. Follow the prompts. When the install is done you should have a PIN.
10. Hit Connect on in BBConnect to recieve your service book from BES
11. On Your Handheld goto-> start-> Settings-> Connections-> Connections-> My ISP (Add Modem)-> Choose "New"
12. Name it anything. Under "Select Modem" Choose-> Cellular Line (GPRS) then click Next
13. Under "Access Point Name" type: blackberry.net (then choose next)
14. There is no Username and Password so leave it blank. Click the "Advanced" button-> Check "Use IP header compression"-> then hit "ok"-> choose "Finish"
15. Hit OK, out to your palmtop.
Unplug your handheld form your PC and give it a few minutes to connect. Soon you should be sending and recieving Corporate email as if you were using a Blackberry.
I have one problem with this. I still cant browse the internet. Anyone know the Proxy settings for RIM's network?
GL all and have fun!
Quick Question, do you have the BES flag on your cingular acct?
BES Flag
I didnt know RIM had a flag
Most likely I would say yes as our company has been using BB's for years.
Would Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_only.zip work on an T-Mobile MDA?

It does not work with BB Connect client
TMO Radio ROM
After a long conversation with a few Cingular techs (not that this is good advice) on this subject we determined that it would be possible for you to use the Cingular radio ROM.
Just be aware that service providers outside of the US use a radio spectrum that is different from ours. This means that a Radio ROM from the wrong country could cause irrepairable damage to the radio in your phone.
It should be relatively safe to use a 'same spectrum' ROM without any worries.
US to US = safe. US to UK = not so safe
Thanks.
Applied the radio. it does work on TMO.
Unfortunately the BB Connect client still does not. It tries to establish a connection, gets an IP address and shows "data tunnel available" for a brief moment, then disconnects.
This is frustrating !

BB Connect
Are you sure you have a completely SIM unlocked and CID Unlocked phone and are using the Qtek 2.17 ROM ?
Here is how you can tell your phone is completely unlocked and you are using the right ROM... (I had this same problem too)
Turn your phone off.
Turn back on.
The first screen you see should be ALL White and have the 'HTC Inovation' logo on it.
The next screen will have your ROM Versions and have the QTEK logo on it.
If you dont get that on boot up then you need to CID Unlock your phone.
BB Connect
Once you CID Unlock your phone you should reload the QTEK 2.17 ROM and Radio ROM
errr..
Just follow the instructions at the top of this post and you will start working.
Yes, I totally unlocked the phone.
However, I am not running the Qtek ROM but the TMO ROM (2.26) with the Cingular radio. I am trying to figure out which ROM/Radio combo will work on teh TMO network.
Does this QTek rom have MSFP and stereo Bluetooth ?

Thanks for this. I've used the ROM/Radio combinations and have a working BB connect (via BES) on by Wizard. However, after bricking my last phone (G4 phone) trying to get BB connect working with the older ROM solution, I took some precaution this time around, and cooked a custom nk.nbf containing just the QTEK ROM & extended rom & the cingular radio (ie, without IPL/SPL). This also means that it does not matter if your phone is G4 and is not CID unlocked for this process to work unless you are running a very new IPL/SPL. Happy to post this if anyone wants it (and if I can work out how to).
Another point of note is that I did not need to set up the modem/access point/GPRS connection. The BB connect client worked without this.
For those interested, I had a working (older) BB connect on an XDA II, and all I did was upgrade the phone, install BB connect, install the new desktop software and connected. The desktop software picked up I had another PIN and asked whether I wanted to update (which I did), and all worked after that. One point to note is that the BB connect client was unstable with PIM (calendar) sync enabled (probably due to the large number of appointments I had). I hard-resetted, and re-set up BB connect without PIM and this has worked for the past week or so.

If this would work on my G3 Cingular 8125 I would LOVE try it! Please upload it...
Thanks!
I now have BBConnect working with my companies enterprise server and I am using Vodafone contract and HTC Wizard.
Last week I was using the Molski custom ROM (fantastic ROM btw) and for the love of god BBconnect would not connect. I would connect for a second or two and then disconnect.
On Monday I installed the latest Vodafone UK ROM that is posted on the FTP server. Reinstalled the Vodafone supplied software for BBConnect and Desktop SYNC, and then connected the phone up to my laptop and exchanged PINS using the supplied Desktop SYNC (BBCONNECT) software supplied my Vodafone.
My GPRS Modem setting is web.vodafone.de (I am based in Cologne) You dont need to enter blackberry.net
Disconnected phone from laptop and all works fine. If anyone wants more info, please let me know.

The BB Connect client transmits the phone type (Wizard), Rom version & radio version to RIM, and this is checked against the officially supported combinations. This has been well known since v1 of the BB Connect client (which I used to use on my XDA II).
It has been shown that there are certain combinations will work, and as the exact mechanism and "rules" that RIM uses to check against isn't known, all we can do is either use an "official" combination (eg, German Rom + German BB Connect client), or use a combination that have been discovered (such as the one posted in this thread).
To further illustrate this, when I had my XDA II, using the official UK rom with BB Connect V1 client, I upgraded the BB Connect client to a V2 one that was supported on the XDA Mini, and RIM blocked my PIN after a minute or so. Mail flowed again when I downgraded back to the official BB Connect V1 client.

Titus - do you think version 1 of Blackberry Connect would work better than the current version on the Cingular 8125? If so, do you know where I can find that version? I'm having the problem where it won't get around "Blocked - Radio In Use".
Thanks much

I think the V2 client works better.
The V1 client worked as long as I kept deleting the mail and kept it under approx 200 mail. More than that and the BB client starts playing up and chews up CPU on the device making it practically unusable.
The V2 client has worked well for me for email. However, when I first installed I enabled the PIM/calendar function, and it was great. But it stops working properly after a soft reset, the device starts playing up with (similar to V1 client). My guess is that the issue with both V1 & V2 clients are with the number of items, and in my case my calendar has a horrendious number of entries. V2 client has worked great since I hard reset, reinstalled and did not enable PIM. I use the device with BB on all the time, I use windows media player to play music, I use the phone often, and I hardly ever reset the phone.

Hello Guys,
I'm stucked....I'm trying to install the BB client on my PDA. I'm a T-Mobile user and i'm using the sw's are supported by them..... they are trying to tell me that my hw is broken......Tell me if it can be true that a hardware which is capable for BB connection is working only under the OS which is published by the Operator????
for me it seems it will be the case but as I have a HTC PDA I do not want to Downgrade my OS to the T-Mob. one which I do not like......
I've found already one thread at the Wizzard site which is very similar to my case....
Thx'n advance,
Tg
What error messages are you getting?
The situation is the following:
After I'm inst. the BB client on the PDA I can see at the Service TAB:
service: Blocked- activesync connected.
Even if I'm trying to use the BB_DeskConn. sw. there is no result on the sync progress... no error msg. exactly what I can share you. The desktop sw is getting my BB_PIN so there is an up and running service.
If I'm trying to connect over the GPRS connection there is no IP signed by the provider PDA is loosing the IP immediatelly (AFAIK the first sync must be done via the PC).
My Operator does not have any idea about it they say I mightg have to use their provided OS.....my operator is T-Mobile. It is nonsense taht is why I've bought an unsigned tool.

What does the BB client status show when you are not connected to activesync?
try to connect via GRPS for 10 sec than says not connected. IP for certain sec's and than nothin'
Offical answer by the Operator in Hungary is the following:
HTC TyTN is not working with the BB service only if it runs with T-Mobile provided OS.

There are specific ROM/OS version, Radio version & BB connect version that will work, and generally unless the operator you are with supports BB connect, they wouldn't even point you towards another operator/provider's ROM/OS, so I think they are already doing you a favour...
yeah I can imagen that is what I'm looking for! Is that an idea if i'm gonna install a NON HTC version than or the cab inst. of the Operator is enough?
I've tested with a T-MOb ROM no result same error nothing happens the device cannot connect to the BB service. Anybody any idea?
So I have you guys a workaround:
If you have a not locked PDA than DO NOT use the Operator Provided BB connector i won't work.
For me the case is closed answer is:
BlackBerry connect 2.1.2.16 which is avaliable on the FTP
I don't understand what do you mean.
I have XDA Trion, never locked, with the newest HTC firmware, Blackberry connect from this FTP, but it still doesn't connect. Says Radio is Off.
which version of BB? b/c in my case BB 2...20 was not okay but the 2....16 was. Maybe your and my cases are different...
Hello
I have posted this on the Artemis board, but got no reply.....
I have an O2 XDA Orbit that uses Push Email and exchange server syncing. Recently I have noticed that if I turn flight mode on at night and then off in the morning, it requires a soft reset to get the system to sync my email and calendar via GPRS. Up to a month ago this was not an issue and it has manifested itself on both WM5 and WM6. The server is running on 2003, but was upgraded to 2007 (at which point all fell down!!). Server was rebuilt with original 2003 settings and it works, but I get this niggly problem in the mornings when trying to sync on my way into work. Reception is good, but the GPRS will not open a session until the phone has been reset.
The following information is taken from the device:
ROM version - 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM Date - 18/4/2007
Radio Version - 02.67.90
Protocol Version - 4.1.13.28
ExtROM Version - 3.4.206.101
The irritation with the WiFi is that the option to close a WiFi session from the top bar on the screen has been removed and now you need to go into the Comms Manager to close a session.....anyone worked out a way of retrieving the old functionality?
