HTC made a big deal about 5 devices having BB Connect, but the Diamond2 which IMHO is the best looking device HTC has released has no BB Connect.
Has anyone got it working with other cabs?? I have tried several but the issue seems to be the WM6.1?
Am I the only one
I had a lot of problems with BB and my previous HD. Now I'm still waiting for my diamond 2 so I can't test... Have you tried with the 4.0.0.103? (you can find it here http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?entry_id=276 )
Yeah, tried all sorts... always hard resetting be trying another to be on the safe side, sim is out of my BB and have got working on my TYYN2 before so no issues ion the plan side etc. Just the device
I'm looking for a BB Connect solution as well.
The .103 cab installs fine for me, but it won't actually connect to the BB server.
Don't know if it's the app not working, or if it's my carrier.
I suspect my carrier only supports true BlackBerry phones, and not BB Connect, as I wasn't able to register my BB Connect PIN/IMEI on the config site. It will only register the other BlackBerrys I have.
I've been through the cycle of trying to get the right bbconnect software to work with the right device every time HTC give us a new release.... there are various reasons why some versions do and do not work but often the solution is patience and waiting for the right software, but occasionally its just a matter of getting the most up to date version - This is the >>LINK<< to version 106 - HTC's latest sponsored version at the moment - it works perfectly on the Touch HD and so "may" work on the D2 - I would suggest a clean install rather than an "upgrade".....
Let us know how you get on? If it doesnt work we can look at other solutions such as registry tweaks and HKLM adjustments...
Good luck

I tried the 106 on a "clean" install without luck... the device shows the dreaded pin pending!
What exactly is BB Connect? I looked it up on google Blackberry services on non blackberry device? To use it I assume you'd have to be on a Blackberry contract?

BB Connect is software used with a number of Non BB devices, WM devices, Nokia Devices, all sorts.... I have used it over many years, but the challenge is always with a new device. And right now it does not want to work with the Topaz
spent last night hacking/tweaking but still no luck... come on HTC get it sorted!
Managed to get my TD2 to connect and return a PIN number today using 4.0.0.106, although it doesn't seem to be working now
Ran 4.0.0.106 on my Kaiser (on T-Mobile UK) and it worked fine, moved to O2 and it looks like it could be a problem
Anyone managed to use an HTC handset (unlocked) on O2email via WM 6.1 ?
i am missing the pin although I have been getting an IP Address??

Has anybody gotten blackberry connect to work on a Herald?
I just tried it on mine and ended up hardreseting cause it would never boot completely after it.

Are you saying that you cant get the gprs settings for the black berry plan?
I am running the employee blackberry plan on my wing and it works great.
If you are using the black berry internet plan you need to have your gprs connecting to wap.voicestream.com
where did you get the cab for your wing
Cab
I got the cab here:
http://thinkabdul.com/2007/05/30/do...obile-5060-smartphones-and-pocket-pc-devices/
The issue is I install it and it totally hangs my herald up to the poing that not even a reset works. I guess I'll try and see now with WM6, because I did that before upgrading.
Anybody know why it doesn't work?
Thanks
Is this only working on the factory rom or a cooked rom? Im going to test this tonight anyway but i like my Touch layout but wouldnt mind testing this. According the website it changes out the Windows icons and home page to match the needs of RIM.
I will post once i test.
After many hours of testing it doesnt work on the Herald at this time. The software is only good for the Dash. I have to finish my testing from work because it seems to only accept a BES server. I got the service onto the Dash. I will post later how it works but to be honest this process what not worth the trouble.
Maybe someone can work on a cab file to make this compatable with the Herald. Also Xavier, custs of T-Mobile cant use the BB service with the Wing. Employees are able to use it because you are not truely on the BES on windows you are using webmail to bypass the firewall. This software once it works on all Windows mobile phones will generate a PIN which is required for blackberry users to use its service.
Hope this info helps.
Hard reset your device, install the blackberry software, but install the software in the phone memory, and then synchronize etc. basicaly u need to have a clean device to have it working, i encountered the same problem i followed this procedure and it works on HTC P4350. a.k.a. Herald.
is it possible to get BlackBerry Messenger on a winmo device? if u have blackberry connect does that mean you also get blackberry messenger? or is blackberry connect only for emailing? (which new winmo devices from carriers seem to do just fine with push email). thx
Blackberry Connect not working on my Wizard
I'm trying to get Blackberry Connect running on my Wizard. I have a couple of issues that I haven't seen addressed anywhere in the forums.
First, my info:
Device = HTC Wizard G4, Cingular 8125.
OS = WM 6.1 TNT.19199 v2.
Carrier = AT&T w/ a PDA Enterprise data plan, which allows BBConnect
My company runs Blackberry Enterprise Server.
I was able to get Blackberry Connect 4.0 from here: http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=225
Does anyone have a more recent version?
Do you know if I still need to use a hex editor to spoof my OS version? I haven't tried that yet.
Does anyone currently have BBConnect running successfully on an AT&T data plan using your 8125's IMEI number?
I installed BBConnect 4, it rebooted, I tried activating the BB, but it just said "Not Connected". Occasionally if I go to Utility and click "Register" the status screen will say "Service: Network Available" then "Data Tunnel Available" then back to "Not Connected".
Can I please hear from anyone running BBConnect on a Wizard? What is your configuration? What is your version of BBConnect? Where did you get it? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I am having this very issue. I have a new Wing, I am on Tmobile, I have a BES data plan for my sim. Lastly I have the BBC 4.0.0.97...Installed without issue to phone memory. But will never generate a pin. Even speaking to BES server over GPRS or 802.11 etc, it will not activate my corporate account. I took my card to Tmobile and tested on a true bb device.. Worked no issue.
So I would tend to agree with you regarding these folks not truely on BES service over celluar means. You might be catching internally via 802.11 but even that seems odd.
So, please if the "wing'ers" have this working share the info..
thanks all

Is there anyway to get Blackberry connect to work on the TC? I've tried downloading it on the phone and activating it, but it just says pending?
If not what are some better ways of getting email to my TC besides Outlook thats built in!
Simply not at the moment....
Sorry I have tried everything but nothing do do...
We need to wait until a big company like voda, swisscom etc desides to support the Polaris.
Blackberry is blocked with a build number and exact Windows version from Microsoft including device type.
Have a good day

New Rom comming soon
Hi, just got my Orbit 2 a couple of days ago from a shop. I told the guy that i wanted BB connect, and he said they didn't support it on the polaris. Then he told me (about 3 or 4 times) to keep an eye on the software update in the next days...i ask him and looks like this could be BB connect or WM7.
lets keep and eye and cross fingers!!

Orbit 2 update
Hi guys, sorry not yet...
What do you guys think
DO you think that its possible that BBC will ever be available for the Polaris. I tried the BBC on wife Touch and it works so i tot it would be the same as well for the Polaris so i took a gamble and went to buy it when its available. Unfortunately, it didnt work......so loss the gamble, but it is a nice and light device as compared to my Kaiser.
What do you guys think. Any hope.
Blabckberry Connect

Not at the momment. But im hopeful as i have a smartphone vox and it was working then after a while it stopped working. However, maybe some operator have got the vox to be able to work, and from then onwards it started to work. I guess i may be wrong but its perhaps the build number is different as i reason to believe that the current windows devices are ver 6 and the tc is 6.1, maybe thats why it is not working, as i have tried the bb connect on the htc touch aka elf and it worked flawlessly, so best bet is to see when a suitable windows 6.1 cab is release perhaps ver .92 or .93 then the tc will work.
BB Connect and Cruise
Thanks a lot....! I wait for confirmation on BB Connect before buy Cruise......
About BBC ... Guys! BBC check your OS Version and Device ID!! If you use custom Roms and they have a newer OS Version or a bad modded Device ID, you cant connect to the bbc network! Most time it works with the Original delivered rom only!
HTC Niki works with BBC 4.0, but it doesnt with a new cooked Rom.
Next ... if your Cell Phone Provider hasnt the right to use BBC 4.0, the Black Berry Network drops your PIN and you cant connect again!
You see ... a lot of parameters and licencings can make troubles!
Ergo ... if you use WM6.1 -> BBC drops your PIN!!!

I'm a BB-connect user, but I'm thinking of buying the Touch Cruise. My network, Rogers supports BB-connect. Will BB-connect work? This is an important feature for me.
Hi, neither Rogers or Fido support BBC for anything other than nokia. You can install BBC but it will not generate a PIN. If anyone got to generate a PIN please let me know.
I'm running BB-connect on my Nokia E90. It generated a PIN automatically and I've been running it for the past two months. I need to know if the Touch Cruise supports BB-connect as well.
I was not able to set it up.

I had a response from someone quite senior in o2 in the UK - they do not intend to support Blackberry connect because RIM are stopping development on the client.

On a distribution WWE rom yes, on any other ROM, no.
I haven't heard of anyone able to get BBC working on the Cruise. This was discussed in another thread:

I'm getting mixed answers. Some say it'll work with original ROM, not with cooked, some say it wont work at all. I'm worried now, I'm picking up a TC like tomorrow, and this is an important feature for me.

Possible in Germany on o2's release ROM I read somewhere.
If you are not using a release WM6 Pro Rom it wont work has been my experience with other devices.
o2 UK say that RIM are about to stop developing for the BBC for Windows Mobile and so they say they are no longer going to offer BBC support for new models.

Has anyone out there had sucess with installing Blackberry Connect on the US version of the HTC Touch Dual and operating as designed?

bb version
I am trying to get to work with the neon200, which it seem like the same model as the U.S version. What version of bb connect have you try? With the previous HTC touch that you got it to work, was it flash with custom ROM or was it original ROM?

Does it have to be WM6.1? What Rom are you running. I´ve made a custom rom for the Neon, you can try that. I dont have a blackberry account so i really cant try.
I´m trying to port to wm6.1 and i´ve asked if someone would be kind enough to dump a rom of a US Touch Dual but so far no one has been kind enough to do so.

My original HTC Touch was equipped with the orginal ROM and I used the 4.0..97 BB connect. It worked on both of my touch phones but this touch dual is different. I wouldn't mind using another ROM but I do not want to loose my radio version because it is configured for 850 which I need here in the states. My windows mobile is 6.1. I really like this phone but I need BB connect to be operational on the unit otherwise I cannot be efficient with my business.
Below are my device specs:
ROM Version: 2.21.422.04
ROM Date: 05/06/08
Radio Version 1.65.20.19
Protocol: 25.86.40.04w
I couldn't get it to work with the stock Rom on the Touch Dual I bought at Best Buy. I don't know why it works with some phones like the Tilt but not others.
I was able to install it but when I tried to get BB Connect Active Sync to configure my Enterprise server config I got the PIN 0 error.
I remember wasting so much time with either the Wizard or another phone last year and just don't have the time to research further.
Same here. Have had it working on another Touch, as well as other WinMo phones, but don't want to spend a ton of time again to get this working. Why must RIM be such idiots and make it so hard?! Create one client, limit the capability so a RIM hardware device is always better somehow[like 10 email accounts in BIS, versus only 3 on the WinMo client], but don't limit the devices that can use a BBC client! It makes no sense really...
Is it possible to get Blackberry connect to work? I used it on my Tilt and this is the only thing I miss with this Treo Pro...I cannot use Exchange as our company uses Blackberry, BES....I have tried all the downloads from SEMS.org and tried changing the AKU to .0.4.2 or .0.1.2 like I did with my tilt and nothing has worked, I still cannot get a pin. I also tried changing the device name to the same as the tilt but still no joy...
How does the Blackberry Server know that I am not using a TILT? and is there a way to trick it into thinking I am so I can get a PIN and get up and running.
Anyone?

it would be great if we get it worked on our treos.
I don't understand why it works on some phones and not others, if you have a computer with Windows as long as the specs can support them you should be able to run the same software on different computers no mater the manufactuer.
Has any one tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368181
I tried...doesn't work with any BBC downloads on sems.org...it just awaits the PIN...
I also tried changing the AKU like I did on my Kaiser...still no joy....
Hopefully someone smarter than me will get this worked out...I have since bought a FUZE because it supports BBConnect but I like the Pro so much more...
$50 Bounty!
I'll put up $50 bucks if someone can get BB Connect working on my Pro.
My company just found me out and shut down my ActiveSync...so now it is get a company provided BB Bold or get BB Connect to work. I'd much rather the second option!!

======================================================
Well. I had a Treo 680 (Palm OS) and could e-mail one way (from the phone). Now with the Palm Treo Pro (WM 6.1), I have set it up for two way e-mail and calendaring. Stick with me...there MAY be a solution for the BB to work here. (My company does not have Microsoft Exchange either.) Anyway, if you set up a Gmail account, you can then (use their directions) get some e-mail coordinated/synced between your company e-mail (if you have access to your company e-mail through the Internet) and Gmail. Now here's the weird part. You can go to CompanionLink.com and try out their software for 15 days. If you like it, pay. Here is the link:
http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlink.html
More specifically to BB, here is a link:
http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html
As you can see, the CompanionLink software is almost $30, but it works (after some tweeking) with my Groupwise company e-mail and calendar.
Did I win? If I did, deduct the $30 for the software, and I'll call it even!

As stated in the first post, version .106 of BlackBerry Connect won't work (no PIN). Tried it myself too.
Thanks for the reply though. Hope we'll get a fix for this soon so I can get rid of my TYTN II.
Would love to see BB Connect work on the TP2, as my plan comes w/ BIS, and from what I understand, BB Connect would allow me to use the unlimited BIS internet/email (right?)
ouch....
that will hurt big time... as my htc tytn died completely before i decided to buy the pro 2.
Will no change in the registry or something help, like we used to do in the TyTn?

nope, tried the standard reg hacks
has anyone tried asking customer support at HTC for a temporary solution?
btw, am getting my phone tomorrow - have been tracking DHL...
no but from past experience they are not very helpful and will probably state it isn't supported. All devices seem to go through this then they are magically supported and a version is released. I have been using exchange push emaul option and it works great. the only difference for me is that my company uses 4 character passwords for blackberry and 8 for exchange.
got my htc tp2. installed bbconnect 106 and the device is connected - has a pin. On the flip side, its been some time since i sent my service books, it has none in the list!
after a few hours of waiting and also one soft reset, the connection is established.
The settings page shows - Data Tunnel Available - but it does not go into connected mode.
However the services page does not have anything listed yet.
Any smart brains around?
i contacted HTC support, and this is what they wrote back! ... hmm.... - looong wait....
Thank you for contacting HTC Corporation Middle East Support
With regards to your inquiry, kindly be informed that the BlackBerry software is not available for your device at the moment so kindly check our website periodically for any updates about this software or your can search the internet for a compatible software with your model and the Windows Mobile version or you can contact your network operator to check with them

Is the Blackberry connect software dependent on HTC or our mobile carrier? (or doesn't it matter).
Would really be handy to get the unlimited BB internet on the TP2.

carrier i believe. I think there is a range of IMEE or something software related that passes through the carrier and if the BB connect software version youa re running doesnt report the right things then it doesnt work. Not sure if I am right or not but i thought that is how i understood it.
hi guys, tp2 just bought and sadly realized that bbconnect doesn't work. any news form your side?

the reason it was solved for the Blackstone is because HTC put out a version for it This is standard for new devices. You will just have to wait. I hate it too but is how it is.
