After successfully unlocked Cingular 8525 phone, I can use the phone and connected to internet. After a month the phone still work fine, but the internet connection stop. If I tap the iexplore in the start menu, it always brought me to internet setup guide. I came back to the provider who recheck the setting and told me that evrything is fine, and said perhaps Cingular lock my unit, and suggest to reformat the PDA phone. Question: (i) Is it possible Cingular did it so I cannot connect to the internet? (ii) Using file explorer, I can still find iexplorer (17.8K) under Windows folder; but not in other folder, and no icon in Program (Start -> Program). Is there something wrong with this? (iii) Is reformatting necessary, and will not damage the phone?
ya. just do a hard reset!
I did a soft reset first, and tried to reconfigure the internet connection again, and it works! at least I can connect the internet now. Thanks! However, I still cannot use it fully, e.g. when opening You tube, there is a message that i cannot open it because either the JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. How can I turn the JavaScript on? (if does not work, do I need download and install Macromedia's Flash Player?)
The problem with YouTube and the 8525, or any device with WM5, is that there is not newer version of Flash available for these devices. It has nothing to do with JavaScript.....But since you asked, Pocket IE (PIE) doesn't support the full version of JavaScript the rest of the world knows and loves. Instead, it has Microsoft's own version: JScript.

When I have my cingular 8125 connected to my desktop and activesync is running, I can't connect to anything on the internet with my PDA.
I'm accustomed to being able to do that and my previous PDA devices used activesync and the PC's internet connection to do that. Can the 8125 not do that?
Yes, the 8125 and other variants of the Wizard can use ActiveSync's "passthrough" function using port 5721, so it's definitely not exhibiting normal behavior.
ActiveSync is syncing ok? Do you get the two back and forth arrows icon on top (indicating a passthrough connection)? What happens when you try to browse?
I confess I haven't seen this before but I would start by opening a command prompt on your pc. Type the command
telnet 169.254.2.2 5721.
If it returns "Connect failed" you have some software blocking the connection -- possibly firewall since it's the often the culprit in AS connectivity issues, but possibly other sync software, or vpn.
You might try disabling your startup items using msconfig then see if it works -- go to start > run > msconfig.
On the General tab, click Selective Startup, then uncheck the Load Startup Items box. Then click the Services tab, check the box that says Hide All Microsoft services, then disable the remainding services. Reboot.
You'll need to run AS manually once it's booted then see if it will let you use the passthrough connection.
Well, it syncs just fine. It just doesn't get the passthough connection.
The telnet works just fine also.
Interesting. What does it do when you try to browse using the passthrough? Does it try to open a gprs connection instead? Does it give an error message?
It errors out with a message: "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again."
Some more information.
When connected via activesync, I can check email. It's only the pocket IE that can't get to anywhere.
Any ideas?
i'm hating activesync 4.1, it disconnects halfway through a file transfer then renders my device unuseable til i soft reset and makes my pc not shut down without unplugging it :x
Ive done all the firewall settings etc but it still doesnt work properly, i can only stay connected to my pc for about 3 mins.
Guess im gonna have to buy a card reader :roll:

Out of curiousity, are you syncing with bluetooth or USB?
with usb, i also have wifi in the house but it wont log on to that either :roll: it finds it ok (and next doors hehe :twisted: ) but thats as far as it'll go. it wont accept the network password (im using the pkey method)
ive done all the stuff suggested by m$oft but nothing seems to help. it could be an issue with my home network stealing the bandwidth apparently-does this sound right? i never had a problem with my ppc2003 ipaq on active sync 3.8 but now that wont work either without cutting off after 3 mins.
why does m$oft crap never work
When the Wizard is connected and the Activesync box shows on your Computer, when u go to File > Connection settings.
Is the tab "This computer is connected to:"
set to "the internet"
Cuz that was the problem with mine. I set it to internet, and voila!, hello world wide web.
i only want to transfer music+videos+photos etc, not bothered about syncing the other stuff like contacts or using it to go online as im on an unlimited data tariff anyway
I'm having somewhat similar issues to the OP. Activesync Sync's fine, I can transfer files to/from the phone...however Passthrough doesn't work. I've disabled my firewall, and checked and rechecked all the settings on the PC and the Phone with no luck. If anyone has anything to suggest please let me know.

I hope it's ok to ask this question in your thread. It regards activesync and outlook. My problem is that I can not add a calendar event with any text added to the note field on my cell phone (Cingular 8125) and have it sync to Outlook on the PC. I always get an "attention required" message followed by a error code: support code 1.
If I only have a calendar topic and location without any notes, it syncs up fine. Or I can add an event on the PC and have lots of notes and it syncs to the phone just fine...but not vice versa.
Just wondering if any of you have a similar issue - I have Activesync 4.2 and Outlook 2002
Incidentally, I can surf thru my phone when connected usb to my Dell Inspiron notebook.
thanks
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:

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.

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.

I've been trying to upload but I don't seem to be having any luck with ftp'ing the file up. I logged in as [email protected], and it tells me I can't put a file to /Uploads/Temp for some reason...
I had to reinstall my O2 XDA (PW10A1, ROM 3.17.03 ENG, 4.21 radio, ActiveSync 4.2.0, build 4876) via a hard reset. Nearly everything works OK, except Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE).
I see a flash of the turning globe, when I try to put a web address in the address bar. No GPRS connection is made automatically by PIE. I have to establish the GPRS connection separately. When I’ve done that, only the local files are shown, i.e. file://\windows\default.com. Just http://localhost shows the turning globe for 5 seconds. All other sites selected from the drop down box do not show up in the address bar and do not connect.
I tried GSM modem connection to my ISP. It works for sending and receiving email, not for PIE.
Using GPRS I can send and receive email.
Using GPRS: I tried VNC and I can connect to my PC’s at home.
Using GPRS I can ping to a number of websites like www.cisco.com using PacketLANce.
I looked for other browsers. MuliIE is an extension to PIE, does not replace it.
The same for ftxPBrowser.
ThunderhawkII needs a subscription. I could use it reading the different introduction pages and registering with them.
AvantGo gives login problems. I don’t know whether they are related to the PIE problem.
My internet connection uses +0~GPRSinternet, does not use proxy settings and has “This network connects to the internet” enabled. It uses server assigned IP addresses and DNS’s; access point name is “internet”. GPRS authentication is CHAP. The three network adapters have no IP or DNS’s assigned.
I did the auto-configuration for O2-NL again.
So I suspect the iexplore.exe file (in the Windows directory, 17494 bytes, 21-06-2001 08:40) went broke. I have nowhere a replacement copy. I think the file is part of the ROM, bacuse I cannot copy the ieplore.exe to somewhere else. So it could not really been changed by some action of mine. Could it be other settings in the XDA, which are causing this?
My questions:
Do you read from the information above that it is a PIE file problem or belonging settings?
Could you send me a copy of the original iexplore.exe?
If not what could be wrong?
What would you do to solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Same Problem
Hi franz
i have exactly the same problem. i can send emails over wlan or gprs, i can ping, but i am not able to open webpages in pocket ie. i have a prophet (s200) with the newest qtek rom (2.20) wwe.
This is probably a stupid question, but what do you have under:
Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Network selection
First list, 'Programs that connect to the internet...'?
It is possible that your GPRS connection is under say, 'WAP network' or something while in the list 'My ISP' is selected by default so PIE just doesn't know you have a GPRS connection.
Try playing with those settings and see what happens. Since you just did a hard reset it is not possible that you iexplorer.exe file will be corrupt.
I'm having what seems to be the same problem with my Wallaby (specs same as Franz01, was also originally an O2 XDA NL, now taken over by Telfort and now connecting via Telfort Spot GPRS/Edge). Symptoms exactly as described by Franz01 (only local files, just a quick flash of turning globe), although I haven't tried all the connections Franz01 tried, but mail and 'phone work fine. Now I have found one way to fix the problem: a hard reset (perhaps a tip for Franz01?). However this is extremely inconvenient as I then have to spend about a day restoring data, resetting all sorts of configurations etc., and then do it all over again when whatever it is happens again about a month later.
The trouble started after Telfort started migrating to the KPN network (although the network functions themselves work fine), and after an occurrence of what I call the "battery-memory incident". This is when the device suddenly and unexpectedly signals that the main battery is low, and all sorts of things suddenly become slow, very much as if the memory, not the battery was low. The memory applet also suddenly shows hardly any memory available. This condition is fixed by performing a soft reset while connected to the mains charger, but the PIE problem then remains as a sort of "residue". My darling Wallaby has had these "battery-memory incidents" as long as I've had it (since 2002), but the "residue" PIE problem dates from the Telfort move. I went to the Telfort shop in Amsterdam and spoke to their resident "XDA guru" but the hard reset was the only solution he could find.
To avoid having to go down the hard reset path, with all the work this entails, I would love to find another fix. Like Franz01 I'm convinced it's something like a corrupt file or a registry setting, something that a hard reset just happens to fix, but which could be fixed without the hard reset if I only knew what it was.
Levenum, I'm afraid I lose you at Settings->Connections->Connections, I don't get an Advanced tab or button. I get 3 drop-down lists with buttons Modify and Connect, pertaining to "...automatically connect to the Internet...", "...automatically connect to Work..." and "...My Network Card connects to...". For the first two, Telfort Spot is selected, and this connection works. The third one says "Work" and this reverts if I try to change it. Gurus always look at these settings first, and then conclude that they are fine. But I don't get a list of "Programs that connect to the Internet".
Anyway it helps to know that there are others in the world with this very same problem! I'd still love to fix it though.
Resolved!
Three cheers for Oliver (from 19 Nov 2002) on:
http://groups.google.nl/group/micro...01aad387fc9/a703963fe92a23a2#a703963fe92a23a2
This fixed the problem, without a hard reset!
To be sure you get it, I reproduce his solution here, hoping he won't mind (permission has been asked for, though his original answer is bout 5 years old).
"Hi,
check if you have those two files in the root of your "My device":
CMMapG, CMMapP. If they are not there run "\Windows\welcome.exe" which
will recreate them (amongst other things). This solved it for me.
Cheers,
Oliver"
Welcome.exe "walked" me through aligning the screen, cutting and pasting; afterwards the two files mentioned had been created and PIE worked again.
My PDA is O2 Atom Life. In my office, I must use LEAP to authenticate to the access points. As everybody knows that O2 doesn't support LEAP, so I have used Odyssey Access Client to do that.
After installation, I created a new profile in OAC, power on the WiFi, wait few seconds, use IE to navigate on the internet and everything works fine. When I completed to play on the internet, I disable the OAC and power off the WiFi, there is no any error message appeared. After that, I connect and disconnect the WiFi for several times. Then I soft-reset my O2, I found that the phone calling service becomes unavailable. I have tried to disable/enable OAC, power on/off WiFi and power on/off phone service, but no action can wake up the phone calling service again. So I uninstalled OAC, then reboot. The phone service can work again and the original WiFi service also works fine.
Does anybody know the reason for the error occured? Is it that my usage incorrect? What is the order to enable/disable OAC and power on/off the WiFi?
I found a method that can recovery the phone service without uninstall OAC. The method is just run the "OdyIMCEUninstall.exe" in the OAC folder, and then reboot my device. I have used some registry viewing tool to compare the changes made by that program, the difference is in the NDIS device (that program may remove a layer from the networking stack).
After reboot, I run the "OdyIMCEInstall.exe" in the OAC folder and run OAC client program to enable Odyssey and dim the "Connect to" check box. Then power on the WiFi, everything works fine again. Both phone service and wireless service works properly!!
Anyone can tell me why OAC can affect the phone service? NDIS device is also related to phone service?
I think I get something similar on a Polaris I am testing. No simcard so I don't know about the phone, but if I install Odyssey it works, then after any reboot I have to reinstall Odyssey or I have no wifi access. Odyssey cannot even see any networks.
Is this the same? Any idea to try out appreciated.
As per what t2k269 said - I misread this as "uninstall" but running the install file fixes this. Good spot and thanks.
Hi,
I am the proud (but by now somewhat frustrated) owner of a HTC Touch pro 2.
I was used to BB connect (BES & BIS) on my TyTnII which went good (not without it's drawbacks).
Afther some reading on the forum I used the well known procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4150074&postcount=35) to set up BB connect 4.0.0.106 and it worked just fine...
It workes just fine until IE or some other appliction on the phone tries to access the internet. Connection to BB is broken (of course...); and the connection is even re-established afther the other program is finished "using the radio" but then I can't receive or send any e-mails anymore (even with BB "connected"). Shutting down and restarting doesn't fix this and afther a couple of restarts the BB application won't connect at all ("data tunnel available" -> "disconnected"). (I do have PIN, EMEI and IP...)
Hardresetting the phone and starting from scratch is the only way to get BB working again...until some program accesses the internet again....
anybody? help?

YES there is alonger thread called 'BB connect not working yet' somewhere. I suffer the same issue and it drives me nuts. Simple solution is to go to comm mgr and DISCONNECT data service (sometimes it takes a few tries), then go to your BB connect software on your device, second tab [status], SuSPEND then RESUME. And then BB reconnects.
I do this several times during the day.
I also added a shortcuut to programs for the Blackberry Settings program (which is the last file in the Blackberry folder in Program files on the device), then added these on my start menu so I can easily run com mgr and BB settings. Would love to find a macro to do this!!
It seems BB needs to be the only data tunnel, doesnt multitask like others. Therefore to keep it constantly working you have to stop other things automatically connecting (like Weather automatically looking for your location - switch it off in the weather tab). TF 2.1 often automatically connects, but its not as bad as 2.5 which seems to try to connect ALL the time (and there you need to check the DONT CONNECT box in settings soemwhere).
I find I cant sync my folders perfectly and it often doesnt see when I have read emails on the PC (and leaves them unread). Also, the mail app hangs a lot. However, its still better than owning a blackberry!!
Hope this helps
Hi, thx for the advice...at leat it's a start.
Unfortunately, I now have another problem :
I set up everything perfectly and BIS is running perfect.
However, once I connect to my company's BES, the phone locks afther I get the imposed security policy and I am asked to enter a (new) password... (never had problems with this on my TYTN II).
I have to soft reset -> now the question for a pqssword reapears -> I am able to set a password -> WM6.1 boots -> BB connect is connected and services are apparantly downloaded to the device but I am unable to send/receive mails or sceduler data. (tries to send data but I get a red cross before the e-mail in the send box in sted of the green "v").
so what now ?
this should do it.
well...it doesn't seem to help. Got this cab installed and program is indeed running but stil no ability to send/receive e-mail.
Maybe I wasn't that clear in stating the problem:
1. BBconnect and BIS are running perfect (thx to xda-developers...)
2. I activate my companies BES and the BC software starts downloading services
3. Machine restarts and prompts for "new password" in order to activate security settings imposed by BES
4. screen freezes at this point (not able to input password)...I think this is time dependent : if I am fast enough it succeeds but wait a few moments and it is stuck...
5. soft reset
6. machine again prompts for password and now I am able to set it
7. Windows boots
8. BB connects; services all seem to be installed AND my schedule data has indeed been downloaded
9. BB seems to be running all right ("connected") but I am unable to send or receive both by BES and BIS and I get no scheduler data transmitted or received.
10. afther 1 or 2 soft resets connection is totally lost ("data tunnel available" then no "connection")
I re-istalled BC many times so far (both *106 and *104). I even have goten BIS to work for at least 2 days but if some other program starts connecting to the internet (both by GPRS or by WIFI....) I am back at point nr.9...
Any other thoughts ?

Im out of ideas, sorry. Something else you can try... put yr sim into a clean BB machine and see if it works properly. Borrow one from someone or go to your provider and tell them you want to test if it work for real for you (I did this - told them I needed to prove there is something wronf with the settings at work). then at least you can narrow down if its you and the device, or a technical work issue.
Hi,
I FINALLY got a break-through....
Re-read all the postings once again and solved the problem by:
1. terminate BBCMain.exe process
2. stop BlackBerryLog service
3. stop BlackBerrySecurity service
4. start BBCMain.exe (from \program files\Blackberry folder)
5. start BlackBerryLog service
6. start BlackBerrySecurity service (you need to authenticate after it's started)
It works now for 10 hours straight....fingers crossed
Thanks again ekerbuddyeker for your imput and support !
