Has anyone set the XDA Exec up to work with Blackberry yet?
Is the BB Connect software available for Universal users to download?

Surely we need to be waiting for AKU2 for push email?
Yeah, my company has Exchange 2003 and BES, so I would prefer to be spoiled for choices.
I really just asked the question because:
- Sometime before the Universal launched, HTC & RIM announced that BB connect could be used on their devices (I assume that's if operators wanted to support it).
- Since then I have not heard one thing about BB Connect running on an HTC PPC.

This of course is in the ideal world, we already have BES in place which works well, I had a BB7100V before I foolishly bought the XDAIIS with its poor Bluetooth but reasonable BBConnect software, my only choice for corporate email is BB.
Will the BlueAngel Cab work on the Universal? I know the OS is different but surely the underlying code is not too dissimilar. The reason Im looking for the Universal is for a better BT stack to work with all my devices e.g. car kit, phone headset, activesync.
Almost working, but not quite
I managed to get the T-Mobile BB Connect software installed on my Qtek 9000 using the current ROM (AKU1). I also installed the desktop software and got it talking to the device and synched (desktop). All policies and services got loaded from our BES server.
The only remaining "minor" problem is that it won't connect online to the UK RIM servers. Can't find a log file with enough info, so I'm not sure of the cause. Over in the Wizard forum people have mentioned that RIM may block certain IMEI/PIN combinations.
Since this is a German Qtek updated with the generic English Qtek ROM, running T-Mobile BB Connect software, connecting to my BB account with Swisscom, can't say as I'm shocked. :?
I've got a call in to see if we can fix it, though.
Ever optimistic....
ok I now have this working with a Tmobile UK Rom as the base and Tmobile BBconnect software, works very well, you will get the PIN from the service you will however not get an IP address, I spent over a week trying to debug this, it appears that theres something hardcoded somewhere that requires the match between the ROM and the BB software before it will work. Dont ask me what as I have no idea, I'm now hoping that O2 bring out a version soon as the Tmobile UI sucks with its gay pink logos and buttons....
BB Connect up and running with Swisscom
With help from tonyb15re, I was also able to get Enterprise BB working. It took a very specific ROM which appears to be matched to the BB Connect package. The device is a generic Qtek, the carrier is Swisscom, all the ROMs are T-Mobile UK.
The ROM which works is (from the FTP site):
UNI_TMUK_12032_120_10600.exe
Other T-Mobile ROMs and the latest generic Qtek ROM did not establish a connection.
Thanks again to tonyb15re for the help.
Hi,
Where did oyu get the T-mobile BB connect software from?

In the Wizard forum, they mentioned that the files were supposed to be on the XDA FTP server. But when the server got trashed a bit ago, the files disappeared. Therefore, I picked them up from T-Mobile Germany. Look here:
https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm
The first two links under "Software Updates" are the BB Connect client and the Desktop program respectively. They are language aware, so the program will run in English, even if the installer is German.
Best regards,

Hi, Can u confirm the following works fine on Universal or Universla clones
Thanxs cheer, Taurus
Yes. If you use the exact T-Mobile ROM together with the Vario BB Connect package, it works properly on my Qtek 9000 in Enterprise mode. I cannot verify the Internet mode.
Good luck,

I just re-uploaded the files again (and fixed the thread in the Wizard forum)
I currently have a Blue Angel running 2003 and a Tmob uk rom 112 and the BB connect software, the BES works really well. To answer some questions I have some info that you may need. My company runs BES over voicestream (Tmobile USA) in the service contract it only provisions for the BES push mail on the blackberry.net server (linked to voicestream) Sooo what I am getting at is this, if your company only signed up for the BES push that is all you are going to get. If your company signed up for the BES and internet then you will be able to use the blackberry server and the mobile telephone companies wap or web client ip address.
In other words unless your plan includes web access via the internal modem you are not going to be able to get to the internet via the cell phone.
You will be able to get to the internet via the wireless lan card tho!
Also just another note,, when you connect to the BB client you get your corporate mail but if you enable the wifi then it disconnects from the BES, you have to then reconnect to the BES after you are done with the wifi session.
Some of my findings -
The BBConnectt from T-Mobile works ONLY with the
UNI_TMUK_12032_120_10600.exe
It works using ANY BB service provider.
The biggest problem is that the ROM UNI_TMUK_12032_120_10600.exe
is damn old, slow, the RAM is leaking and it is not stable at all.
Otherwise this is all ok. Today i will try to run BBConnect on my Universal using latest QTEK ROM and RADIO + TMO Extended ROM. I do not really beleive that BBConnect software is sticked to the EXACT TMO ROM. Will keep ypou informed.
I've tried it on the older O2 ROM, spent days trying to get the TMO BB Connect working on that, it didnt work, I even downgraded the radio to 1.06 which didnt work, the only combination I could get to work was the latest Tmob rom. works well for me, was going to upgrade to the latest O2 but cant be bothered..
I managed to get BB connect working on optus australia by installing the T Mobile UK rom as mentioned above... but then I went and upgraded the radio to 1.09 and everything stopped working from there.....
thats because for some obscure reason it needs 1.0.6 radio.. Try downgrading the radio..
I can't seem to get this to work, I have the right ROM and BB connect software in my Exec and the BB service is running but it will not do lookups and I am not getting mail....
Could someone post the right rom and bb software again to make sure I have the right one?
Many thanks...
New QTEK Radio 1.11 works
Just to share (apologies if someone else has already shared)...
I have the "standard" T-Mobile AKU1 ROM (vodafone SIM on a O2 Exec) and just tried upgradding the radio to to the new QTEK 1.11 radio......and it WORKS!
QTEK Radio rom is on the FTP site. Looks like we are no longer stuck with Radio 1.06.
I had to install the standard ROM Package first, then just upgrade only the radio (after BB connect was installed) - all connected perfectly.
Hi there,
I recently sold an european unlocked XDAII to Australia. The buyer claimed that he couldn't communicate with his pc via activesync furthermore saying that it was defect (he visited numerous pc-stores). I received it the other day and voila! no problems. It works like a charm. So could it be a compatability-problem? My opinion is "hell no". PC's are no different in Australia. But am I wrong?
PS: Great forum btw. Used it to upgrade the XDA to WM2005.
these devices work the same as a triband normal cellphone
so unless you down under use something different then 900/1800/1900 gsm it works
hi and thx for your reply.
The thing is though, that he claims the XDAII doesnt connect to the pc via the cradle (with activesync). And that baffles and confuses me, because I have no trouble whatsoever with the activesync connection at all. I reckon that pc's in Australia are the exact same apart from perhaps the inputvoltage. So I dont get what he has been doing wrong.
since you have upgraded to WM2005, the problem in australia may be caused by the other guy not using Activesync 4.x
Hi Friends,
I have been using cs-WM5. Its great and cool to use.
I am having XDAII/WM5/Sandisk Wifi card - SDWSDB-000 . It was having challenge in connecting to wifi with WM2003SE itself. But it was intermittnet.
After upgrading my XDAII to WM5, i could not connect to wifi. I am using the driver from sandisk web site. But is is old, 2003 version. Thats all they have.
I am in Singapore. Singapore is having free wireless from this month in most of the places.
Is anyone using this combination XDAII/WM5/sandisk wifi card and workingproperly?
Awaiting yuor experience/suggestions
Thanks CS for your great WM5 Rom.
Regards,
Waran

Better if you ask to the sandisk company (support divison) for new driver, may be you have chance to use it.
Or you can try driver from spectec. And if you lucky (it has the same construction with sandisk), you can still use it with WM5. But let us know the result if you try this way.
But try with your own risk. In my oppinion is no risk to try... this is the link for spectec.
http://www.spectec.com.tw/Download.htm
Yeah, the spectec cards will work for WM5 PPC. They are designed to work on WM5 PPC.
I was trying to get it work on the O2 Xphone, thats when I learned from spectec that they will work on WM5 PPC but havent tried it yet
Sorry for the second post...
Waran,
Since u are from singapore, just go to east gear shop in penninsula plaza and tell them you want to try the spectec wifi card before buying it. they will also help you in installing the wifi software.
Hope this helps
Oh almost forgot to say that east gear is on the 2nd or 3rd flor in peninsula plaza.
I've had a few different ranging from the Wizard to the Hermes and I'm now the proud owner of a Touch Dual - its the original HTC Decice with the standard HTC Rom and Radio.
I've had it for 2 weeks now and I'm more than happy but spent most of last weekend getting my Blackberry Service set up after archiving my Hermes. It took me an age as there was no advice on which version of the Blackberry Connect Software would work as all the ones I had would not connect.
I finally came across RIMs latest offering and at last - all working with no issues!
The version you need is: bbconnect_wm6_pro_4[1].0.0.90
Tried to attach the CAB file directly but no joy??? For those that need it you can download directly from:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_4.0.0.91.exe
You'll of course need the blackberry service enabled on your Sim and configure using the desktop manager when connected to your corporate network.
Hope this little snippet helps and that I haven't repeated information available for the Vogue already available?
Now to find out if there is any way to get this to work on the sprint touch. It has no sim card, and I don't think anyone has been able to get it working yet on a CDMA network.
Uhm ... thanks for this Thread!
I have install the BB Connect Client and it works!
I use Austria - A1 Network.
I make a long run test. I hope BB doesnt kick my device after 2 weeks.
Hello all, I'm having a little problem right now. I have a recently flashed Treo 700wx from verzon which i upgraded to WM6 from their website. Everything has been going great with the upgrade except for one issue, my wifi sdio card is no longer working. It is an ambeon WL54c-sd made by ambicom. I have searched their website and tried pretty much all of their drivers but none of them have the capability for WM6. I have also tried a number of other drivers from either spectec, to palm, and basically any other driver for wifi sdio cards. I have also spoke with customer service and technicians at amibicom and they told me that they would start working on creating a new driver. Then the next then I know as i speak to them again, they said that they werent going to have a new driver for WM6 until they create a new card which they dont even have a plan for in the works. So my question is that i was wondering if somebody here either knew of a driver that would work for my card that i have not found or tried yet, or if someone who was knowledgeable with drivers could create one that would work with my card and phone? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Jon Van Scoit
