Has anyone got this working on a CDMA Touch? My work email uses a blackberry server, would love a way for it to sync to my Touch.
Thanks!
well I installed a bb conect cab.. got my PIN no prob.. then it wouldn't connect again... tryed registering at (my provider).blackberry.com wasn't going thru, then could never get PIN again (after removing tha app) would beleave you need to have a blackberry connect data plan added to your device BEFORE trying to register your PIN & ESN on bb.com as you need an open connection with your device to reqister and using a regular data option didn't work for me... I pay $5 Unlimited data so it is Not worth switching to a blackberry plan for me... so I gave up... lol

So here's the deal:
I've been using DirectPush for a year now, and I'd like to keep using it for my company/personal mail.
I've just taken on a client that has Exchange with BES, and they would like to give me an email account on that server. While they've offered to give me a CrackBerry, I'd just assume not have to deal with two devices (how anti-convergent!).
Is it possible to have both DirectPush and BBConnect on the same device?
I suspect that in order to get BB Connect working, I'll need to switch to a data plan with access to BB's APN. If I do that, will it prevent me from reaching my hosted Exchange server?
Any experience/insights welcome...

The two email accounts will work together just fine, but the issue you will run into is that BBConnect sets up it's own data connection to Blackberry.net and will fight with other apps on your hermes that want to use the wap.cingular connection. BBConnect usually wins this fight. Thus, if you want to use both, you will need to just disable and enable the Blackberry.net connection in BBConnect when you want to check those emails.
Thanks for the response... which Cingular data plan do you have?
No problem.
I use PDA Connect for Blackberry Connect Unlimited. I no longer have access to isp.cingular, so I have to use wap.cingular, but it seems just as fast. Can't get Cingular Video to work, but I'm not sure if that's a data plan problem or just how my 8525 is configured.
by the way, have you ever used Cingular Answer Tones?
My brother uses it and has "Big Bottoms" playing every time I call him instead of a ring. I always laugh.
"talk about bun cakes, my girl's got em"
Ha! Somehow I don't think my wife would be terribly amused with that answertone...
;-)

so are you switching back and forth between wap.cingular and the blackberry apn?
yep. Using black 2.0, when I want to use IE or check regular outlook pop email, it connects to wap.cingular. Inevitably though, the blackberry.net connection fires up after a random amount of time to reconnect and disables the wap.cingular connection. This is why I sometimes just disable the BBConnect app unless I'm using it.
By the way, you can set Cingular Answertones to only play the "special" song for specific numbers, so your wife wouldn't have to hear it.
its been posted before, but i wanted to clarify, so dont yell at me... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325973)

If you don't have a data block, you run the risk of of connecting to EvDo and getting charged 'pay as you go'.
But then there was a change to the data plan about a month ago and I hear it is now nearly impossible to NOT have a real data plan.

yeah thats what ive heard. It seems like if you want a ppc or smartphone that your have to get the data package to even get the phone. thanks for the quick response.
This is something I banged out for a couple of Sprint users, but it covers the basics of what you have to do for other carriers as well:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180141
I just switched from Qwest to Verizon and got upgraded to the 6800 from the 6700. To get around the data plan you can use the pay as you go just change the dial up number to anything but #777 and you never connect to the network and don't get charged.
I dont have a data plan either. I use the wifi all the time. the main reason I got this phone was for the wifi capability. I am curious how to use it uner flight mode because it never lets me..
Completely disable 3g data connections forever, and still use wifi
This is my first contribution to xda-forums! I'm glad I can help at all when I've benefitted so much... Thanks to all!
NOTE: After the following steps, Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably will want to use Nodata, and NOT the following solution. You just might have to open Nodata and disable the data connection every time you soft-reset.
I was finally able to completely 100% block the 3g data connection on my Verizon XV6800 (aka Mogul aka Titan) was the following three steps:
1. The key culprit is HTC_CM_Guardian.exe in the windows directory. I couldn't edit it or delete it via Total Commander file explorer, but I was able to rename it! This makes the OS unable to find the program when it tries to re-set the Data connection settings.
2. Under Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > "Select which networks are automatically used," hit "Select Networks."
3. Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" hit "New...".
4. Enter any name you want (mine's "nodata!") and leave all the other settings blank.
5. To be safe, you may have to delete the Verizon Or "Internet" Connection on the Tasks Tab of Settings > Connections > Connections. Save and exit.
Voila! Wifi, yes; 3g, no! No more nasty billing surprises.
Modaco's Nodata program is awesome, but the problem was that HTC_CM_Guardian.exe re-enabled the data connection every time I reset the phone. Plus, HTC_CM_Guardian.exe would also thwart any effort to block data via the "Connection Settings." By renaming HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and creating a "nodata!" connection that programs auto-connecting to the internet would try to use (and fail), we get three results:
1. Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably won't to use this solution.
2. When you reboot, the OS is unable to mess-up your "Connection Settings", so
3. Unless you have an active wifi connection, programs will try to connect to the Internet using the "nodata!" settings, which, being empty, will fail, exactly as planned.
Hope it helps.
simple solution
It's a lot easier to check the "use dialing rules" box. I had a HTC Touch that I used this on and when I lost that, went to a Mogul. I love the wifi on it! I worked as a ATS rep for Sprint for 5 years and half the time when a windows phone would not connect to vision, it was the checked dialing rules box or a wrong number like the customer's own number instead of the dialing string. I tried just deleting the dialing string but even a soft reset caused the phone to recreate the #777 as well as the phone as modem #777. I hated the phone connecting on it's own, bumping the wrong button in my pocket, and I know this will work every time. EVDO data transfer charges without a plan will cap at $75 now but still why take the chance? If you absolutely have to get on the web and there's no wifi around, break down, call *2 and add a $15 vision plan, do what you need to like find a location with Live search then cancel it the next day. The plan will be prorated from when you added it to when it was cancelled. The only hitch is you have to allow your device to IOTA successfully while in a Sprint service area once to get the data settings in the phone which entails the data transfer again. Ahhh, I'm liking the wifi more and more......

Since my compnay will not allow wireless access to our Exchange server the only way to get email access is with a Blackberry.
Rather go to the dark side I've been using BB Connect on my Dash but I think it is about to die.
I have a Wing that I bought and I've installed BB Connect 4.0.0.84 that is designed for the TyTnII with 4.0.0.18 for the desktop client.
I have both installed and when I connect the Wing to the computer I get a prompt to put in the password for the handset, once I do that I get this error.
blackberry connect was unable to connect with your device (returned PIN 0)
I've made sure the software is running but the desktop software still doesn't see it.
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?
I have been trying to find a solution to this for a while now. Nobody seems to know. I cant find a version of BBC that will run on the wing.
The thing is I would pay the extra money for the TyTNII if I knew 100% that BB Connect would work. I know you can download it from HTC USA's website but I doubt it is supported.
Does anyone know how to configure the G1 to get email? I do not have a data plan associated with my G1 and can get email when connected to WIFI. However, my wife has a Motorola w490 with no data plan and can get emails just fine. Can my G1 be set up to get emails while not connected to the internet? Thanks, John
No the g1 needs some kind of data connection. You can save emails to the phone but need to connect to wifi to download them.
The G1 works all data through a data plan. You won't be able to access any email without either a cell network (EDGE/3G) or provided network (WiFi).
The reason why your wife's phone works and gets email is because it's using cell networks, much like your G1 does on EDGE or 3G. However, since non-smartphones don't use a whole lot of data, there's no need for a cell company to even charge for it. More than likely, each email is charged at the same rate SMS is charged at.
T-Mobile doesn't do anything like that for the G1.
I have not been successful tethering. I have been assured that my data plan remains unchanged from my successful tethering of my TP2 - unlimited domestic data and tethering. I get the following message:
"Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed. For further assistance, click More Info or search Help and Support Center for this error number."
Are other AT&T folks able to tether? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
Has anyone tethered their Focus?
Have you installed the proper USB drivers?
I get that error very occasionally. I usually just replug the USB cable and I'm good to go. Make sure you download and install the Samsung USB drivers from the tethering thread.
sounds like a drivers problem. I had the same issue for a while. Couldnt get the right drivers to install. Once you do get the drivers installed properly, your focus will tether
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies. Here’s what I’ve tried so far.
I printed and carefully followed the instructions here:
http://mobilitydigest.com/windows-phone-7-tethers-you-can-do-it-now-heres-how/
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/samsung-focus-does-tethering-after-all-on-windows-phone-7
I suspect that the drivers loaded successfully when I initially paired the Focus, but just in case, I removed and reinstalled the driver from the link on the Mobility Digest article. No change.
Because the drivers appear to be working correctly in that I am able to enter the suggested settings and they appear to be attempting to dial, I have begun to suspect that the problem is with AT&T.
I have checked my account. It reflected the change of devices from the Tilt 2 to the Focus. I am on the following plan:
PDA Personal Max /w Unl M2M Messaging - $74.99/month
“Access and manage your personal e-mail from up to 3 accounts with a PDA wireless handheld. Send, receive forward and reply to messages while on the go. Plans include text, IM or video messages with Unlimited M2M Messaging and/or tethering options*.
*Tethering enables you to connect your wireless device to your laptop via Bluetooth or a connection cable. Certain usage restrictions may apply. See Explanation of Rates and Charges for details.”
I do not understand the “and/or tethering options” and I could not locate the “Explanation of Rates and Charges” I called AT&T. They were unable to explain my “and/or tethering”, but tried to get me to switch from my unlimited data plan and stated that the plan I am on is no longer available. I hate to give up my data plan, but hate not being able to tether worse. They also advised me that the Focus will not tether.
Because I never had issues tethering the Tilts, I told them that I would be switching back to the tilt in the hope that this would get tethering reactivated. They made me give them the IMEI of my tilt and test my voice and data connections. After the call, I put my sim card back in the Focus and tried to tether. Voice and data work fine, but as for tethering - No Change.
I still have absolutely no idea why I can’t tether. I would very much appreciate any other suggestions. For those of you who have been successful, please – Which data plan are you on?
Thanks again for any help,
Dave
AT&T makes you pay $20 ON TOP of your $20-30 for your data plan for tethering. I'm guessing thats what the "tethering options" is referring to.
