I haven't installed it. But this sounds good.
what kind of software? has anyone installed this yet?
ghost - can you share the software with us to try ?
I cannot log in since i do not have an account there.
Is it something the same as it was released for MDA Vario recently ?

Strange, it behaves the same as the previous BB Connect released by T-Mobile for MDA Vario.
Simply does not work....
Hi,
i installed the Blackkberry software on PPC and on Desktop and its working fine.
I can setup filters on Desktop Software and alle mails will be pushed to my Universal.
The only bad thing is the battery time - I guess that I will need power every day and rechachge the battery
How long does your universal stay without recharge of the battery?
Erik
i have installed the desktop program but when i try to run it, it detects an error claiming that a connection with the mail server could not be established.
Do I need MS server installed? I only have a normal home PC with windows xp home ed.
Thanks
Hi,
I use Blackberry Push with an exchange server and own Blackberry Sever in our company.
This is how I setup my connection:
- I have an Outlook connection to my exchange server working.
- Active Sync is working.
- Install BB Software on PDA
- Install BB Software on Desktop
- Started BB Software form Settings -> Instant Mail and choose what kind of service do you want: Blackberry Solution (You have an own Blackberry Server) or Instant Email with Blackberry (to use the blackberry server of your provider). I choosed "Blackberry Solution"
- Restart Blackberry Software
- Start Your Blackberry Desktop Software, choose your Outlook Profile and Create Your Own Security Key. Your BBPin will be displayed from your PDA. If not connection doesn't work.
- Create Your filter and save all to your PDA
- If you have GPRS enabled and all works fine, you Blackberry software will connect and get your first results.
That's the way, it's working on my universal.
To save your battery live, turn of UMTS and use GPRS. You can turn it off in settings -> Telephone.
You don't need it for Blackberry service.

How does this save battery power? surely the BB uses the same amount of power to stay connected to 3G as it does to GPRS??? and of course it downloads quicker using 3G

Hi,
I don't know how it saves your battery - it's my experience that I can stay more than one day without 3G and BB. With switched on 3G, I need every day power.
I guess that the 3G part of your telephone is switched off and that saves power, like if you turn off WLAN or Bluetooth.
Erik
Hey Ghost,
It seems that this site is not open for all public.
Can you help me on this?
Is this just an add-on software moduel or a complete ROM-image?
I would like to test this on the BES of my company.
Thanks in advance.
Roelof
nice post man
just try it on my CHT device!coo

Heres an answer to my own question, the power saving is probably down to the reduced amount of searches carried out to locate a UMTS connection, my phone constantly hops between GPRS and UMTS depending on coverage, each time it has to re-register hence using more power and sending more data to the network. I havent tried the GPRS Only option yet, I may give it a go next week when I'm on the road..
Do you need a specific ROM to use this software?
Cheers
Rowan
CAn I bump this topic?
I'd like to try to use this software with an O2 rom, but I suspect I won't be able to.
Can any of the guys using it confirm if it is Rom specific?
Cheers
Bump from me too.. would be very interested in the answer, since I hate the T-Mobile ROM I am forced to use now due to BB Connect.....
Has anyone actually had the BB connect work with the Q-tek ROM AKU1 ??
Thanks

Do you know when blackberry software will be avaible for mda compact 2 ?
The BB Connect software seems to be tied into the Service provider, there are 2 profiles, in the TMob one, email and BB Enterprise, I use the latter, the email one is hard coded for TMob bb servers.
O2 said they were going to ship a BB Client but wouldnt commit to a date.
The TMobile ROM is Old (Pre AKU2) BUT, it works, it pairs with my Parrot 3400LSGPS, it runs TomTom5.2 fine, the only downside is the gay pink video button. I do however have to reboot it a couple of times a day, and the BB Connect sometimes loses all will to live and forces me to reboot.
Hey all. Downloaded and installed the new Agile messenger beta last night. Let me just say it is phenominal and no issues of button jacking. I assigned the voice command button as my PTT and chatted up my buddy at work who was offline at the time. When I got to work he told me he had received the voice msg loud and clear. I suggest you all grab it while it's still free and hold onto it for later reflashing. After I closed the app my VC button functioned as normal. Hats off for an outstanding product. I wonder what else the released version will have ?
http://agilemobile.com/downloads.html
Thanks!
My pleasure guttrhead. 4 different instant messengers all working at the same time. I can easily text one friend and send voice messages to others. I've only used over wifi so I cannot speak to cellular lines.
Thanks Farooq. (The original diseminator of information) I just beat him to the post. lololol
I installed it and everything went smoothly, but I cannot seem to connect to any of my messengers.can use the Instant Messaging Program that shipped iwth my MDA and that works fine. Any ideas?
Maybe your network selections ? I have mine set to only connect through a wifi connection.
Which button do you use as the push to talk?
I tried various buttons but it doesn't recognize it.
I have the Qtek 9000 Universal btw.

well i use my GPRS setting to connect my other instant messengers. Can this only be used if WiFI is present?
Should work either way, wifi or GPRS/EDGE. I only use the wifi as I'm near several AP's at work and two at home.
deleted dbl post, sorry.
I am using GPRS to connect.
I find the connection cut off or I should say the application stopped after a while of idle.
Can you guys suggest any method to keep the connection on for a long period of time.
thanks
There is a registry key that you have to change for that.
I find that I can get on agile when I have my cingular proxy enabled on my EDGE connection. When I use EDGE without the proxy it works great.
For those of you who are having trouble with GPRS, please try Vijay555's software.
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
It allows you to create icons on the desktop so that you can toggle the GPRS on and off again. Also does Bluetooth, Wifi and others (I only use the 3 above). The instructions that you need to pay attention to is at the bottom of the page where instructions are available for you to put in a simple command to turn on/off the feature you want.
There's also another software out there that is a lot simpler which just turns on the GPRS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49839&highlight=gprs
Try that and see if Agile stays on by toggling the GPRS that way.
FYI, I'm using the vijay555 software. I like it. Always wanted to have icons on the desktop to turn features on and off.
Vijay555 - You're the greatest!
Hope that helps.
is this the version of agile messenger that disconnects the phone from the service operator (when you have to retype your pin and so on)?
the problem we had with the alpha-version...
I'm connected using WiFi but don't seem to be able to send any pictures (from my camera - MDA Pro).

thanks.
PS.. how about an option to edit a created account? just being able to add/delete my not allow us to fine tune a defined connection.
mr skot,
as far as I know, t-mobile and google don't play well together.
I've and along with a bunch of others are having problems connecting to google via the T-mobile USA GPRS connection.
That might be the problem you're facing.
Supposedly T-mobile is looking into it.
But a forum member also mentioned that they've been looking into it for a long long time.
Clueless
Ok, so I am still trying to learn how to use the full potential of my MDA. I was told by TMobile that in order to use these applications that utilize the GPRS Network that I had to purchase full internet access that gave me access to GPRS. Is this true? I was under the assumption that GPRS access is included in baasic phone service...
I spent some time yesterday trying to find an answer to my continuous problems connecting with Blackberry Connect. This included different ROMS and different versions of Blackberry and Desktop Connect software.
My problem (like many others) is that the initial set-up of Blackberry connect seems to work but as soon as I restart the device or service, it is disconnected and sometimes the service completely shuts with the blackberry icon dissappearing from the tray.
The best success I had (and is still working after 24hrs) is to install Blackberry service without wireless calandar support. Somehow for all versions of ROMS and connect software, enabling wireless calander is causing the disconnects. I can't remember what the service name for this is but for those with similar problems this might help.
On a similar note, does anyone know why wireless calander could be bringing down the blackberry service?

I had a similar problem with the BB connect (2.1.2.16) client on my Wizard. BB connect works fine without calendar sync. I had similar stability issues when I used the old BB connect client (1.x) when my mailbox got too large, and I have a HUGE amount of calendar information thus I am guessing it is size that is causing the issue. It does not help that the BB connect calendar sync doesn't specify a cutoff date to reduce the number of old entries.
I am running BB Connect 2.1.2.16 on my 1605 and have constant issues with the BB client.
I get the odd VCAL error occuring but these are rare compared to the BB Client just switching itself off on a regular basis. Restarting the client does not fix the issue and I have to softreset the device. The device is generally slow and unstable after a long period of running the BB Connect client constantly.
I send and receive about 200 mails a day and keep a weeks worth of mail in my Blackberry mailbox so yes perhaps this is size related.
However I have a collegue in Austria who is using the T-Mobile version of the Hermes, and a slightly earlier version of BB Connect (2.1.2.15 I think) and it seems to be a lot more stable.
Any clues ??

I run 2.1.2.16 on a Wizard and without PIM, it works reasonably well. The most I've kept in the BB inbox is around 400 mail as that was around when the BB 1.x client used to play up an I got used to deleting the mail from BB (I do not sync deletes with my Inbox for this reason). If you are keeping 1000 mail I would say try and delete the mail daily (including deleting from the "Deleted" folder) and see if it improves. I know that with the BB 1.x client, if I got too many mail the BB client would start chewing up CPU and the device would act strange, and sometimes I needed to soft reset, disable BB, delete the mail, reset again and things would be good again.
What baffles me is why people keep so many emails on their BB's I read a message, if it requires an immediate response I send a note from the BB and then maybe follow up later on the PC, I then delete the message, if its not relevant I read and delete it, if it can be dealt with later, I read it, then mark it as unread and then delete it from the BB, I do not sync my mailbox with the BB thus all mail is still in my Outlook inbox...

I think it just depends on how people work. I tend to read on the run (between meetings) and I delete when I remember sometime at home or on the train on the way to work or something like that.
Anyone got it working or tried Blackberry Connect client 4.0 on the Athena?
Mine (4.0.0.67) seems to try to create the blackberry network connection but won't connect. I can run it fine on the TyTn, but not on my X7500.
any ideas? I tried creating manually a netowrk connection for the APN, named it BlackBerry etc, to no avail. You see the device type is recognized as HTC-Athena. When I check the status, it stays at not connected. When I suspend, then resume, it briefly shows, Network available, then flashes Data Tunnel available, and quickly switches back to not connected. As if it looses connectivity. And yes, I'm all provisitioned fine, the same darn SIM in the TyTn with the same BBC client executable on it works. Go figure.

I tried, but unfortunately it's the same problem like with other devices. If you don't have a matching OS-Version number you will not be able to get it up running. As far as I can see there is currently no way to change the os version number in the athenas rom. I found the right values but the .nbh file is signed, thus it will not flash.
I think we will have to wait for another BBC version or another ROM version (or someone finds a way to flash any rom).

I should be getting my hands on BBC 5.0, will try it. It's build for the HTC Excalibur and Hermes, but I suspect it will run also on the Athena. They are renaming the BBC to something else ?!? Anyway, the BBC 4.0 client was working fine on WM5 OEM on Hermes and on the WM6 rom for asia, can't recall which provider. Won't on the Black 3.01. Sounds right about the version number though... anyway. BBC 2.1 will do fine for now I guess.
Anyone tried BBC and Live on the same device (BBC on a BES, with calendar sync) ?

BBC 5.0? Is this the 'virtual bb' offering that bb announced not long ago?
obviously my athena fails with bb 4.x.
The only coment is that when I install, the today pluggins disappear, maybe provide some light to hackers...

So I heard... BBC is renamed to Virtual Blackberry. Anyhow. Better version of BBC 4.0 (supposedly).

Virtual bb works differently than BBC. Its basically a virtual machine, and thus apps within it is not integrated with WM.
My experience with BB 2 in Athena (WM5) is great. Works perfect... or at least as expected. You got the problems related to versión 2 that don't allow you to view jpg files and so on, but you receive and send messages without any problem.
My configuration is BB 2 against a BES server in release 4 (I think) and my account is on Lotus Notes R6.
Well I tested the BB 4. Madness. The program was working properly on my Athena (WM5) but the installation makes a real mess with the Today screen. Everything in today screen stop working and left the Today program unable to use or configure. That happens to more users than me. So is not a problem with my Athena (WM5). Looks like BB 4 has real troubles with Today of WM5. The guess is BB 4 is designed to be used with WM6... I'm not sure.
The BB 4 seems to work faster, supports more attachments and allows you to navigate Internet thru the BB connection which is useful for those users that are not allow to access Internet directly from the Athena.
But from my point of view BB 4 did a real mess with my WM5 so I finally made a hardreset and rollback to BB 2. I will back with BB 4 as soon as I upgrade to WM6 my Athena.

mahjong

Hi, I answered in the main BB Hacking thread.
I have version 4 installed on my Athena with WM5 without any problems. It didn't make any mess to my today screen. Also I haven't noticed any other negative side effects (except that I cannot disable the automatic device lock after max. 1 hour, but I assume thats a company policy setting, have to talk to our BES guys).
Cheers
I have it running on my AMeo, no tweaks whatsover just installed it, soft reset and voila... The only thing I have done is disablethe today item as they appear to havea few conflicts.
Its much more stable than BBC 2xx.
Bring on Virtual Blackberry im hoping that it will enable me to RDP to my work machine through the BB connection negating the need for VPN
Hi all
I have 2 x HD2s configured for ActiveSync with our SBS2003 server. Everything works fine when connected to my laptop via USB or when connected to WiFi (whether at my office or at any remote site unrelated to my local LAN). However, once I am using my data connection I experience the following issue which I have narrowed down through lots of trail and error:
When an email of approx 4k and above arrives I can see ActiveSync trying to sync and it then fails with an error code of 0x80830002. ActiveSync will then never reestablish a connection unless I either remove the particular email from my Outlook inbox, or, I connect to any WiFi connection.
If I set the download limit to 1k, it never fails and I simply receive a trunkated version of the email. However, if I select to download the remained of the text it fails again.
The issue is related to the size of the text within the email as attachements can be downloaded fine.
I have been on to T-Mobile as this feels like a carrier problem as I only experience it when using mobile data connection but they haven't come up with anything.
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer as this is driving me mad!!!!!
Many thanks,
Tom.
Is your Exchange ActiveSync running over SSL?
Not at the moment. I'm just trying to get it going at the moment. I just don't understand how it can work in all situations appart from when on mobile data?

If you're not using SSL then it's possible that it could have something to do with T-Mobile, but I don't know enough about them to say.
Does T-Mobile use a proxy for HTTP?
Do you know if they have a policy relating to syncing your phone(s) with Exchange?
