I am a little confused here. I have a cingular 8125. I have it activesyncd to my two computers (at work and at home) it shows all my events/calendars/task. I also have my email setup, and if i have a wifi connection or GPRS connection, I can check my email.
My question is what is direct push and all that? I just found www. emoze . com that says it will push you contacts and all for you. but i dont understand that. If it connected to my computer wouldn't active sync do that?
On a side note so i dont start a new thread. What is a good Alarm program (lightweight) that woud work
The one on there now...well sucks!
I also have my email setup, and if i have a wifi connection or GPRS connection, I can check my email.

Thats the difference that DirectPush makes... u don't have to check ur mail, it comes directly to ur phone when it reaches ur server... so no more "send / recieve"... it's OTA n live...
mail2web offers this free of cost too n well, u would know the difference when u use DirectPush... the simple pleasure of having mail arrive at ur handheld without initiating an exchange...
cant help u with ur alarm issue, though... never really felt the need for one...

Hi, was wondering if anyone can help me setup blackberry on my o2mini..
I have upgraded to the latest ROM which claims to have blackberry function.
But i have no idea how to make it work to start receiving my pop mails..
can anyone help me ><
i am with vodafone if that helps...
Just pop into a Vodafone store and they will help you set it up...you will have to go on a plan (not prepaid)
u sure they can help me set it up?
i remember going in before enquiring about blackberry for O2mini and they said its not suported officially..?
Would the setting up blackberry procedure the same as other ones?
i'll go in and ask them then
thanks
From memory I think you'll have to go onto the $49 data plan to use blackberry since they now charge $1 per 5 mins of GPRS connectivity.
Nearly makes me want to switch back to Telstra..... nearly :lol:
yay~~~
now its working~
basically you need to have BB account with your provider (pay service)
and setup account thru their website.
You will need your device's IMEI/PIN number
and POP3 email address + passwords and thats all!!!

I'm wondering whether this is still working for you ... according to this thread, the folks at Blackberry kick you off after a few days if the BB Connect client does not match the ROM's original network ...
PS. i have read alot of discussions on here about getting it to work properly... just to let you all know, if your PIN number for your blackberry client meant for another network.... blackberry themselves will cut of the traffic to your pin number... although this may take a week or so for it to cut off. The network you are with will not know this has happened hense you will get no help from them. This is a LICENSING issue... tech support advisors will not have this within thier network's published information.

Is it still working for you?
Yes its still working for me - with vodafone.
The only thing its not promised to do as a proper BB device is not been able to receive the emails straight away at occassionally.
Also, if you have the USB plugged in the BB email gets disabled automatically untill u unplug it.
I upgraded to the T-Mobile ROM 1.3.
Didnt do the big storage patch as i got lost in the middle of the tutorial and couldnt be bothered... ;p (BUT still have about 20mb original storage)
Also the post about BB checking mismatches probably only applys when ppl install the O2mini 1.3 ROM --> O2miniPro..
Otherwise i cant think of anything that i did more to make it work continueous.
Voda BB unlimited plan is $49 month i think.

Thanks for the info. In any event, work won't allow me to use my O2 for this - not a secure enough device, according to them.
BTW, I did the bigstorage thing ... very straightforward if you follow the 8 steps at the bottom of this page.
well thats too bad ><~
But about the security issue.. i m sure if the hackers really wants to get in your email they will always figure a way..
If you company uses a work server + sercurity + firewalls + whatever then probably YES it will be insecure compare to BB but then you cant use your email unless you at work... guess that the trade off..
With the Vodafone:
What happen is they give you a <[email protected]> which the settings etc links to your BB device - O2mini.
So whatever emails in the inbox there will be on your device.
To setup you have to 'nominate'/add your various pop3 accounts to make it PULL emails from them to the this <[email protected]>.
Hope this clarify some of the ideas the technology uses for you newbies like myself ;p
Almost there
Hi Shaaa, 1st tnx for the directions on upgrading, and adding BB to my mini. I am almost there, Just need to fix up some internal policy issues :roll: I notice that Active Sync does not sync email any more, did you find this?

Wish I could fix up our internal policy issues!
More seriously, does anyone know of any document that I could provide to our IT people that would convince them that the BB Connect software (running on the O2 mini) will not be a risk for the Blackberry Enterprise Server (and related systems)?

The issue is not really with BB Connect. The issue is that with Blackberry devices, the IT department can force a profile onto the Blackberry device and set up policies that cannot be overriden. Eg, they can set a policy that the device will ask for a password after 5 minutes of inactivity. This however cannot be done with a PDA running BB Connect.
Other examples of policies that they cannot enforce:
- Internet usage (web browsing, ssh'ing etc)
- Installation of software (games, etc)
Have you guys had any luck getting this working with Optus.
I have been trying to get it going for about 3 days now and am about to put it into the to hard basket.
Hi all,
I got it all installed and got my email address and 'the activation" password from my IT department. We use Blackberry Enterprise server.
There is no place for me to enter that information in the settings, any idea?
Thanks,
Eric.
anyone can help me...?
when i want to upgrade the ROM, there an error message "Country ID error". then what should i do...?
BLACKBERRY WORKING INOPTUS SETUP
After you install the BB conect from T mobile change the regional settings to dutch (Netherlands) after that start the blackberry aplication and it should log on to blackberry after that go to http://www.blackberry.com/go/email/optus and register the handset you must have a blackeberry data plan
You can set the regional settings back to australia after the first registration seams to work for me .
Has anyone ever tried this out?
I am not sure if you need to install the server application on you workstation or on the actual exhange server. Would like to give it a go, as my company I work for is so slow in implementing any kind of mobile mail acess (we will have WM10 with 8mp camera pocket pcs before my work has mobile mail access). :shock:
you could try intellisync Wireless email http://www.intellisync.com/pages/Products/Express/
I have a similar problem with my company being a bit slow on the uptake...this works perectly...really pleased.
You install an application on your desktop and on the device (all very simple) The desktop app syncs your mail etc to a webserver, then the app on the universal connects to the webserver and sync it down onto the device. Very slick. Bear in mind that you have to leave your desktop logged in to your corporate network all the time, which isn't a problem for me as locking the pc doesn't affect the functionality.
I have seen that, but I don't want to use 6 different programs and places to sync. My dad has Intellisync Mobile Suite 6.2 on his Jam and works like a charm, but I can't get my hands on the original installation package.
I can access my work's e-mail via the web through webmail, but I don't know the settings like port numbers etc to get my Jam configured to connect. Is there anyway one can find out these settings without asking IT, as they are still testing it and won't give it to me at this stage.
Surely if you can connect to webmail (exchange), then my Jam should be also be able to connect. Imate Mail also uses webmail and it works on the JAM.

I was just being sarcastic.
I know on 2 apps, but you still have a "middleman" where you data needs to be sync from the pc, then from there to the ppc, back to the web server and again back to the pc. I want to go straight to the exhange server, which I should be able to do if I can get my work's webmail settings.
I see! Have you looked at xmail from o2...similar but your ppc connects directly to the agenct on the desktop...
it does
it works so far, but it is a pain to configure.
i hooked it up to my mail server.
with the admin tool you need to (under win or x) configure a user, device and principal and there you go.
what the manual does not tell you: you have to replace PipelineManager with PipelineManagerGeneric in ds-server/config/Funambol.xml to get it to work with your IMEI, or configure your device with IMEI syncml ..
It smashes my funny german umlauts, though. There is a patch (already included in Funambol) that should configure my internal storage to use utf-8, still its using internal iso-8859-15 (what ever that is for..)
I didn't get it to Unicode until now..
I have not tried to connect it to my mail server.. and i have not tried push email yet..

I managed to get exhange activesync to work. But since last night I can't get internet access via GPRS and this morning I can't get VPN access. No nothing wants to work anymore.
Looks like I have to reload my ppc and start from scratch, I have checked all my settings and see nothing wrong.
So I reloaded my Jam this weekend, connected to the work's mail server via GPRS and got my stuff.
Came to work this morning, changed nothing on the pc's settings, plugged in my Jam via USB, pressed sync and it connect without giving me any funny error messages that I got on Friday.
It is weird that it works now with the same setttings and now juts because I reloaded my Jam, it works. :x
help with funambol
trying to get funambol to work on my xda iis 2003se, anyone else got it working with the push email ive set it up how the guide says but i dont get where the log in info goes for it to get your email. anyone willing to do a step by step walk through.
I just updated my phone from the 1.08 rom and in the comm manager I now have a 'direct push' button but it is greyed out. Any way for me to use this feature?
You need an Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 now that your phone is Direct Push ready with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) with this ROM upgrade. If you don't have access to an Exchange 2003 server I believe that Mail2Web can be used, though I've no knowledge firsthand. And I'm sure there's others, just use the <search> here or google it.
Good luck!
yes, it is possible to use this feature with this rom (I am). the first step is to get access to an exchange server. If you do not have a corporate exchange server, I would recommend trying it out with the free service from mail2web.com first (this is what I use) simply b/c it is free. If you need more features later, you can always upgrade... To start, go to activesync on the phone. Go into options and click configure server, and enter your server details (can be found in help on mail2web, or from your corporate IT department) Make sure that it is set to sync as new items arrive... That icon you saw in the menu should be in color... If not click it to enable push...
The way I use it is I have gmail forward a copy of all incoming mail to the mail2web email acct. the phone syncs with the exchange server automatically when I get a new mail. I also sync contacts, tasks, and notes...
Remember that this remains connected to the net at all times, although not using much data, and it auto downloads new mail ect... so if you don't have unlimited data, I would watch it closely, at least to start off...
I would definitly try it out, personally I love it. I hope this helps and if you have any problems please let me know. Lastly I wrote all this on my wizard, so please pardon any spelling or grammer errors...
i planned on using mail2web, but the button is greyed out. wouldnt i needto be able to select it to set it up?
As Starcruiser1229 said, configure in ActiveSync. Direct Push button is an On/Off toggle while ActiveSync is where you configure.
I have my own Exchange server and am not familiar with hosted servers but maybe here at http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/m2wLive/ you'll find what you need.
Good luck.
yes, they call the service mail2web live... I wish I had my own exchange server! anyway, good luck with the setup and if you need more help just post...
thanks a lot. sorry for my misreading. im gonna try it out now. thanks.
Is there a posible to check e-mail automatic?
With a PC that is posible but i can noy find this on the Artemis.

Hello there,
Yes you can. I have my Artemis set to check and download new emails every 30 minutes from my Hotmail account.
But I had to use 2 software for this.
First I had to use HTTPMail Provider which enables you to check for HTTP mails such as Hotmail.
And secondly I had to use a software called GB-Soft Tweak which disconnects the GPRS as soon as HTTPMail has finished downloading messages.
GB-Soft, after a set amount of time, also disconnects GPRS if you are browsing the net etc.
Its perfect and I couldn't ask for anything more as far as email is concerned.
I used MSN Live for PPC and its good but when downloading email messages with an attachment more than 1 MB, it would time out and display an error.
Hope this helps. If you need more help then PM me and I will be glad to help. I remember when I was desperately looking for a solution to this a few months ago.
PS: If you intend to download messages from a pop3 account such as Gmail and not HTTP then you don't need HTTPMail Provider. In fact you don't need anything. All you have to do is open MESSAGES,MENU,TOOLS,OPTIONS and then select the account you wish to change, then keep selecting OK, until you get to SERVER INFORMATION, here you will see OPTIONS. Click on it and then tick the box where it says CONNECT AND CHECK FOR MESSAGES EVERY: and here you can specify a period of time after which it should connect and download your messages.
I would still recommend GB-Soft Tweak as this is still needed to automatically disconnect from GPRS once pocket outlook has finished checking for messages.
Regards.

Hi,
Where can i download GB-Soft Tweak from, and is it free.

Why do you need to disconnect GPRS?

Do you have Hotmail Plus setup? (where you pay per year) because i have set up httpmail provider and Poutlook like you said and i get a error saying Payment Required?
Is your hotmail account really old?
Hi, I need help with my HD2, cause I have two main problems:
1) HD2 sees my router and connect to it (with some difficulty) but then it's impossible to open any web page
2) I think I configured an account (POP3) but I don't receive any mail
Really, no one that can simply tell me the right options to have WiFi and POP3 works?

it's not that we don't wasn't to help, but there isn't much to work with. I mean before you can fix your pop mail I think you need tutti find out why you can't surf over wifi.
does the phone do anything on wifi? browse? weather? msn?
