blackberry setup - Australia (O2 Mini)

Hi, was wondering if anyone can help me setup blackberry on my o2mini..
I have upgraded to the latest ROM which claims to have blackberry function.
But i have no idea how to make it work to start receiving my pop mails..
can anyone help me ><
i am with vodafone if that helps...

Just pop into a Vodafone store and they will help you set it up...you will have to go on a plan (not prepaid)

u sure they can help me set it up?
i remember going in before enquiring about blackberry for O2mini and they said its not suported officially..?
Would the setting up blackberry procedure the same as other ones?
i'll go in and ask them then
thanks

From memory I think you'll have to go onto the $49 data plan to use blackberry since they now charge $1 per 5 mins of GPRS connectivity.
Nearly makes me want to switch back to Telstra..... nearly :lol:

yay~~~
now its working~
basically you need to have BB account with your provider (pay service)
and setup account thru their website.
You will need your device's IMEI/PIN number
and POP3 email address + passwords and thats all!!!

I'm wondering whether this is still working for you ... according to this thread, the folks at Blackberry kick you off after a few days if the BB Connect client does not match the ROM's original network ...
PS. i have read alot of discussions on here about getting it to work properly... just to let you all know, if your PIN number for your blackberry client meant for another network.... blackberry themselves will cut of the traffic to your pin number... although this may take a week or so for it to cut off. The network you are with will not know this has happened hense you will get no help from them. This is a LICENSING issue... tech support advisors will not have this within thier network's published information.

Is it still working for you?

Yes its still working for me - with vodafone.
The only thing its not promised to do as a proper BB device is not been able to receive the emails straight away at occassionally.
Also, if you have the USB plugged in the BB email gets disabled automatically untill u unplug it.
I upgraded to the T-Mobile ROM 1.3.
Didnt do the big storage patch as i got lost in the middle of the tutorial and couldnt be bothered... ;p (BUT still have about 20mb original storage)
Also the post about BB checking mismatches probably only applys when ppl install the O2mini 1.3 ROM --> O2miniPro..
Otherwise i cant think of anything that i did more to make it work continueous.
Voda BB unlimited plan is $49 month i think.

Thanks for the info. In any event, work won't allow me to use my O2 for this - not a secure enough device, according to them.
BTW, I did the bigstorage thing ... very straightforward if you follow the 8 steps at the bottom of this page.

well thats too bad ><~
But about the security issue.. i m sure if the hackers really wants to get in your email they will always figure a way..
If you company uses a work server + sercurity + firewalls + whatever then probably YES it will be insecure compare to BB but then you cant use your email unless you at work... guess that the trade off..
With the Vodafone:
What happen is they give you a <[email protected]> which the settings etc links to your BB device - O2mini.
So whatever emails in the inbox there will be on your device.
To setup you have to 'nominate'/add your various pop3 accounts to make it PULL emails from them to the this <[email protected]>.
Hope this clarify some of the ideas the technology uses for you newbies like myself ;p

Almost there

Wish I could fix up our internal policy issues!
More seriously, does anyone know of any document that I could provide to our IT people that would convince them that the BB Connect software (running on the O2 mini) will not be a risk for the Blackberry Enterprise Server (and related systems)?

The issue is not really with BB Connect. The issue is that with Blackberry devices, the IT department can force a profile onto the Blackberry device and set up policies that cannot be overriden. Eg, they can set a policy that the device will ask for a password after 5 minutes of inactivity. This however cannot be done with a PDA running BB Connect.
Other examples of policies that they cannot enforce:
- Internet usage (web browsing, ssh'ing etc)
- Installation of software (games, etc)

Have you guys had any luck getting this working with Optus.
I have been trying to get it going for about 3 days now and am about to put it into the to hard basket.

Hi all,
I got it all installed and got my email address and 'the activation" password from my IT department. We use Blackberry Enterprise server.
There is no place for me to enter that information in the settings, any idea?
Thanks,
Eric.

anyone can help me...?
when i want to upgrade the ROM, there an error message "Country ID error". then what should i do...?

BLACKBERRY WORKING INOPTUS SETUP
After you install the BB conect from T mobile change the regional settings to dutch (Netherlands) after that start the blackberry aplication and it should log on to blackberry after that go to http://www.blackberry.com/go/email/optus and register the handset you must have a blackeberry data plan
You can set the regional settings back to australia after the first registration seams to work for me .

1st post as XDA EXEC owner some ???

Just got my EXEC XDA this weekend, tried setting up my GPRS,MMS settings (using T-mobile USA) all my settings seem right; but I can't get get pocket IE to open, I can however get Opera to open and surf, so I think my settings are correct? I also cannot connect to my email accounts(yahoo,gmail) it tries to connect then says connection lost, but actually the GPRS connection is still active. What do I need to do to fix this? All help welcomed. Thanks

sounds like pie is corrupt (outlook uses it's tcp/ip stack as well)
i'd hard reset.

Damn, I was hoping I could go awhile without having to do that already, I don't have Outlook on my computer so I skipped that portion of active-sync. How would it have corrupted?

well grats on your exec dude, its something you will like
Maybe if it was ebayed someone had 'tried' things with some of the xda files, im not sure how to fix this but not installing the office outlook on your pc shouldnt have caused a problem.

Thanks, It's a new unit, so I hope thats not the problem maybe I should run it in corporate mode?

If it's just a settings issue (and not a corruption problem), there's a cab file that youn can install that has the T-mobile USA GPRS settings. I can email it to you if you PM or IM me with your email addy. It doesn't do the MMS settings, which I can't seem to get working on my device.

well if thats the case, try get in touch with the suppliers of the phone, ask them if theyve had any probs etc, im sure you'l get it fixed

Can POP GPRS download be blocked by network?

Hello, I need help here. My sim is on 3 network and I signed up for the unlimited GPRS but bought HTC advantage and was able to connect to 3. It has been merry until few days ago when I cannot download emails again except I got via web, I've tried everything possible including hard reset. But once on wifi, I'm able to. The question is, is it possible for network to block this like they do msn messenger? if so, is there any hope or I should just cancell the data plan as this was the main reaso for taking it. Look forward to help. Thanks.

Yes they can. EVERY internet protocol and every program can be blocked if the carrier so wants. Contact your carrier and ask them what their policy on POP2 access is. If its blocked or they don't get a straight answer, then I'd cancel.

Thanks a lot for the reponse, it seems that is the case. I called and they said I should not normally have had access to POP3/IMAP downloads. And I'm just about to cancel the web package. Cheers.

I think they are talking coblers! 3's own mail '3mail' is IMAP mail! So of course you need to access it! Calll again and insist of speaking to scotland as then you might get a straight answer!

Bad call - 3 are terrible!
Anyhow, if you check with your email provider you may find they provide an alternative port for email access... the most usual blocked port is 25 because that's the one most people use for POP3 access.
Hope that helps...

Android: Can't log in marketplace etc.

Hi guys,
I have unlocked my phone and am able to run Android 1.1 from Bootkit 0503 found on this forum. While it runs great with minor issues one thing annoys me a lot.
I cannot log into Marketplace, Calendar, sync contacts etc. because the gmail login prompt always fails. It says there something in the sort of: There's something wrong with your SIM card or connection.
I have the browser working when I enter the APN in defaults.txt in Haret. I have to connect through the modem application in Android first. I have never succeeded to amke the "Togga" application connect to anything. I tried entering the APN in Android itself too, but this doesn't seem to have an effect.
It is really annoying to have working GPRS in Android (I can browser on the web), but the Calendar applications etc. refuse to acknowledge it.
My provider is Telmore in Denmark.
How do you guys make it work?

seems like your provider is blocking the port android marketplace / etc are using.... otherwise -> no idea! maybe try a proxy if possible? cant check it since my nike is broken

Sorry I havn't checked back until now.
The problem got obsolete after I bought the HTC Magic where "it just works".
Thanks for responding though.

I am sorry to post this irrelevant question, but how did you load Android on your touch dual? I would love to do this as well!
Is there a guide for complete newbies somewhere?

I got a build from here:

There are links to forum threads which discuss installation.

Hi rdashora, under settings, Cellular you need to edit and enter the APN for for your service provider. You may need to search online for the correct string.

Exchange worked fine on my end...i must say that this has to be the best exchange capable Os out there. My work emails render as faithfully as they do on my desktop

Thanks, it works

Why have you posted this question in this thread?

Unfortunately, unlike iOS and Android, WP7, like WinMo before it, still does not accept unsigned certificates.
With iOS and Android, you can choose to accept te unsigned cert after viewing a warning. Microsoft still don't allow this.
To get it working you have to setup an email account that works (gmail/hotmail) and email yourself the root certificate for the exchange domain. You can then install on the device from the email. After that, you can now attach to you Exchange server.
It's a bit of a hassle and one that there's really no reason not to support along with the appropriate warnings.

worked data connection
The answer was given,
Enter cellular menu. there, add "APN" option is available. Enter here your own countrymen, the GSM operator information...
I worked very well. but too bad the app to be paid.
I still say android2.3 much better operating system.

Hello:
i have another problem related to exchange the user name name of my account has two word as "name surname". When I tried to configurate my excahnge account I cannot introduce any space on the username field.
Does anybody know any trick to solve the problem?
Any registry key to change where user name is stored? As know the automatic system of WP7 detected my username as the first part of my e-mail address (ex. [email protected] the user name detected is name.surname instead of name surname)
Any trick to force the keyboard to write spaces?
If I do not find a solution I will have to come back to 6.5 as I need my HD2 for work.
thanks in advance for your help.

That is weird, you say ur username has a space in it? I didnt think that was possible??? I would contact ur IT dept on that one.

Yes, my user name has a space in it. but not just mine also all the rest of my organization. Everybody gets the user name as 'name surname'. I already contact IT department and they told me they will not change nothing for security policy.
I have had 5 windows mobile phone, 3 androids and several symbian and I never got any problem, it was always possible to wirte my user name with the space. :-(

Hi, I'm having the same problem now. I was running either BOYPPCs or HD2Os (i can't remember) NODO rom and I could sync with my companies exchange no problems. However I installed the mango beta yesterday and now I have a certificate error, I tried going back to XBMODs nodo rom and it didn't work either. I know all these roms come from the same base, but could there be different certificates floating around?
