Blackberry Connect Issue: APN?

Regarding Cingular (ATT) 8500, BES and proportioned SIM for Blackberry Service
In the past I was able to get Blackberry connect to work on the Elf 2.1 ROM. I removed it while using ActiveSyc for mail but due to corporate mandate we must use BB's rather than WM (BB Connect is acceptable). When I went to reinstall...no go. I've tried the Elf 2.1 ROM and Black X beta 2 and run into the same problem over and over again. Currently I have installed Black X beta 2. A search of the forums and google have lead me nowhere thus a post.
I'm installing Blackberry Connect (BBC) 4.0.0.90 via a cab file on my device. I then connect to the Desktop BBC 4.0.0.17 and configure the wirless handset successfully. When I go back to the device the Services tab is populated with six entries. theEmail Settins shows my email and allows me to "Go to Settings". The Identity tab shows my PIN, IMEI but no IP Address( No Connection). Under the Status tab's Service I can get it to show "Network Available" but after a few minutes it will go back to "Suspended by User".
I've used BandSwitch & CommMngPro to set the band to GSM (no 3G) and this has not worked either.
Additional, I've ensured that all apps are closed (included activesync) with no result. I've even go as far as to hard reset and only install BBC to ensure nothing is stepping on BBC.
I can not remember if "Blackberry" should show up under WM's Network Management. If it does, I'm not seeing it despite repeated installs. Further more, I do see the device trying to connect to "Blackberry" but this only show up in the alert bubble. I can find it listed (grayed out) in the Options tab of the BBC Settings.
So far for all my trouble the best I can get is a system tray icon of "B!"
Any ideas? Do I need to manual install the APN settings?
Thanks for taking the time to read.

Blocking Data On HD

I recently got the HD, but since I live in Canada I figured it wasn't worth it to get a data plan (Can only use EDGE and prices are outrageous). As such, I'm wondering if there are any apps or methods to block data.
I would still want to be able to use wifi for internet and such, but stop EDGE from working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Goto the Comm Manager and turn Data Connection off? Don't know what that does to wifi which has a seperate on/off? That failing, could you not disable data from your operator?

what works for me is to set networks for automatic internet access to "company network":
Start - settings - connections tab - connections icon - extended tab - select networks - automatic internet access => set to company network
I have a german device so had to guess english names ... be warned.
if you make the change and try to update weather data you should get an error.
Set it back to your phone provider should make it connect (and charge you) again.

I called my carrier and asked for data transfer to be blocked.

Start - Settings - Connections
Tap the Connections icon
There you might see an entry for your mobile provider - in my case I see
"Vodafone Live"
- Add a new modem
- Edit my proxy server
- Manage existing connections
Tap 'Manage existing connections'
You will see a list of modems (in my case I see 'Vodafone Live')
Tab and hold the modem
Choose delete

Anyone tried MoDaCo's NoData utility?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444541
dwnload tweaks 3.3. There is an option to disable one or al of your data connections.
You need to install compact framework 3.5 first (google it if unsure).

[Q] rogers Unlocked samsung focus on bell - Data doesn't work

Hi,
I recieved a rogers samsung focus today.
Inserted my bell sim card, and booted. was asked for a code, i entered an unlock code i got and it was accepted.
I can send and receieve calls and text msgs, however i can not get an data on the phone, via web browser, live hotmail, or xbox app.
I accessed the diag app via ##634#, however when i try enter the root menu (*#197328640#) nothing happens
I suspect the issue is the network profile is not set to auto, and rogers manuelly configured the phone with there xml profile.
with the LG wp7 device i was using yesterday i could "SET ADC" :enable" or "set network profile", via the ##634# menu => factory menu => engineer menu => other settings
anyone have any suggestions?

apn
in settings add bells apn and it should work fine, stay out of the diagnostic menu, there shouldn't be anything there to change, I can't remeber where in settings it is but there is a spot to add an apn,

WOW that was pretty easy.
APN location: settings/cellular/add APN
Bell lists the info on their site, for reference the APN settings are;
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy server: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
I've added the APN to the focus and browsing and xbox live work, i wonder if adding the proxy server would make things faster/better signal? and if so, how?
On another note, when i renegotiated my plan last week MMS was added, and i was using it on my LG WP7 Device. How do i change the MMS setting on the focus?
From bell's site;
Enter the following in the Message Centre/MMS gateway field:
MMSC URL: htp://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

I'm on Bell and thinking about getting a focus as well.
How is it? Is everything working correctly?
How do you go about getting an unlock code?

1. Go to the phone app
2. Dial ##634# and click Send
3. When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
4. You should now be at "Factory Menu"
5. Choose "Engineer Menu"
6. Choose "Other Setting"
7. Verify that "Set ADC" is set to Enable
8. From the "Other Setting" page, choose "Set network profile"
9. You should now be on the "Set network profile" page and in the bottom half of the window you should see a list of *.xml files. These appear to be the network configuration files.
10. Look at the filenames for the config files and take your best guess at which one to choose for your provider. I'm on AT&T and I fixed the MMS problem by choosing "_PROV_ATT_US_310_410.xml"
After you choose that *.xml profile, your MMS should be working."
The changes they are making are the ones to change the MMS capability as this can be carrier locked – outside of the phone lock/unlock status.

I got my unlock code through a local cellphone shop (gave him the IMBI #), downtown london(ont), not sure where he got it from, seems to have worked.
I can call and recieve text msgs but data is a bit of an issue.
You have to add APN for bell (proxy server would make things speed up unboudtably but no field for it).
It almost feel like you have to push or send a signal for data to turn on / start. usually the first time i try a webpage or bing search it doesn't work, get error " no network or wi-fi"
in terms of phone i like it better then LG optimum bell offers (had it for a week). didn't like the slide out keyboard, typing # was a pain (virtual keyboard pretty got and auto correct awesome). Also, larger screen and significantly lighter. Colours are more vivid as well, green is green not some yellow derivative.
be warned though, many many things that are lacking, january update will be interesting.
*****just tried sending picture txt no luck.....******
------- hopefully someone will figure out how to access the focus profile xml
on a side note:
after many many speedtests in London, Ont, and Hamilton,Ont; DL speed on bell caped at 3 mbps. (tests were on both LG optimum and SAMSUNG Focus)
I suspect that the $10 fee, Bell will be introducing in the next few weeks shale be to increase speed beyond this.

##634# on a focus brings up a different menu "diag" not "MFG"
anyone have any other ideas?

I live in London and have a Samsung focus to, can u tell me where is this shop?

Update?
Hey Reaver_Shadow, did you ever get your MMS to work on your phone?

No dice - 277634#*# does nothing at the diagnostics menu. It just sits there looking at me. Are you sure this is the correct code?

the 277634#*# is for the LG MGF "app" you get installed when you dial ##634# on an LG WP7 phone it doesn't work on a samsung device. It doesn't work on mine, and i have yet to see anyne state that it works on theres.
The closest thing is a "app" that gets installed when you dial ##634# called "diag"
try entering in the diag program (found either by app menu or dialing ##634# again):
*#197328640#
and see if it works or just sits there and stares

Yeah still my biggest problem is MMS settings in the phone. Does anyone get a 3G+ symbol on the signal menu? Trying to understand why it doesnt say if HSPA is connected or not...

Yeah I get it all the time when downloading dada, wether its in the market place, emails or netflix...!

as for the data. I was having trouble too, then went into Settings>cellular>add APN>
and I noticed that when I was searching for a network there, it was coming up scan unsuccessful. So I deleted my APN, and scanned again, found the right network, which for me was EINSTEIN HOME, (IN WIS USA) and added internet.air.net with no password or username and now apparently Im on the data network.
Great! Now the Focus and the Quantum I have are data ready, just looking further into the MMS settings. Thanks to a link I found on here, I have the registry key that the settings are in, but unlike windows, I cant just type regedit and change the settings, so trying to find a windows phone 7 regeditor to change that and all set. Will post if I find one. Thanks again guys. ohh and I saw someone is on this, (the MMS settings already, if I see a solution there too Ill post it as well. Good luck!

I got it to work on my Focus Bell Canada using the following thread:

How to get a Vietnamese (or other country) phone extension on your iPhone or Android

How to get a Vietnamese (or other country) Telephone extension on your iPhone or Android? (it suppose you have a Mobile Data plan as it uses 3g or HSPG)
This is my first tutorial so please be patient with me. This guide allow users to have a local phone number from the country they often communicate with. So if your mom is in Vietnam she can call you in the US at a standard rate. The provider I used in the guide can provide you with more than one phone extension (against payment I negotiated through the support interface an additional one against 50€ of credit I can use for calling). The supplier used below also provide free of charge a voicemail and a call recording facility.
The following guide might work with other SIP providers or Countries (the list of supported countries is listed on the provider webpage). It also works with computers (assume the computer stay on to receive incoming calls) and blackeberries.
1. Go on to High Ring someone: type this in your browser hi.rs
2. From the webpage click on “Join Us”
3. Fill in the form: Important! Give an address where you want the phone number to be registered. I.e. if you want a Vietnamese number you have to give a Vietnamese address (one of your family member for example.
4. Check your email. Your account credentials will be given to you.
5. Log in onto your account: hi.rs then press sign-in (there are multiple options there: Don’t mess up with them unless you know what you’re doing)
6. On the front page of your account you should have your “Your phone terminal login” number. Copy this number and keep it.
7. Go back to the hi.rs page. Click on “Store – Credit” and purchase the amount you wish. Don’t worry the money you buy can then be used entirely to call people (worldwide) Tariffs are very competitive and can be found on the webpage.
8. When you fill in the purchase credit don’t forget to put your “Your phone terminal login” on the first field of the purchase page “HIRS ID (extension)”. Then submit your form
9. Go to your mailbox. Click on the invoice (it will open a webpage) and pay your invoice (Paypal only I think)
Now on your Mobile phone:
10. Go to the App market or Google play
11. Search for 3CX
12. Install the 3CX app
13. Open the 3CX app
14. I believe the app will ask you to create a new profile
15. In the profile: Fill in the name (as you wish really)
16. then in credential section fill in User: this is the “Your phone terminal login” that I asked you to copy above. In credential again fill in Password: This is the password you use to access your Hi.rs account
17. under the Server Settings section: press the “External PBX IP” and put “sip.hi.rs”
18. Save
19. Go back to main menu. The light in the notification area should be green (if it isn’t it is either because you have no 3g connection or because you did something wrong in the steps above).
20. Please do a test call (doesn’t matter who you call)
On the Hi.rs webpage:
21. Log in onto your account as per step 5 above.
22. On the home page of your account (scroll-down) bellow the “Your phone terminal login” there is “Public phone number(s)” and you should find a VN number starting 84. That is now the phone number on which you can be reached. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours after you’ve done your test call for your number to appear.
That’s it you’re sorted,
Note: On 3CX for Android there is a bug with 3CX app. When you try to do a GSM call it tries to use the 3CX app. To fix this:
23. Go to your 3CX profile (and press it)
24. at the bottom of your profile settings there is a “other Settings” section press “Integration” then go to “Redirect normal calls”.
25. If the box is ticked then untick it then save your profile and it should be resolved.
26. If the box is unticked then tick it, then save your profile.
27. Repeat steps 23 to 25 and you should now be sorted.

Disable Mobile data on SECOND SIM

Hi there,
Seen many posts online, folks explaining how to do it and some ROMs have it, question, does anyone see a clear way of disabling ONLY MOBILE/DATA on 2ND SIM? It seems the enable is for BOTH SIMs... best I could find is use a dummy data-plan, and set the quota to 1MB or smaller value, trying to figure if there's a way to totally shutdown only mobile data, not the actual SIM, so it does not attempt connection (plan-b I've seen folks editing the APN with rubbish, prefer not to go there if possible)..
Thanks for any ideas..
Stormy.

OK, FIGURED This out. This answer is specific to MIUI ROM it might work on other similar devices to 7A..
Two options:
1) Settings-> "SIM Cards & Mobile networks" > "Set data plan" > "Data PLAN" (for SIM2), then in "Peak data limit" set to 1KB, in "When data plan is used up" set "Warn and turn off mobile data" go back one screen, in "Enter data usage" type "10GB", this will automatically EXCEED the limit, and block access to mobile.
second option is:
2) Open the Security Center app, main page will show things to fix, there is a "plugin" named: com.miui.securityadd ("Security service plugin") , however on the security center app the name is not printed, it's an icon of a DROP of WATER, on mine it's second from top on right side, click that then you get the mobile data top-level GUI view.
click "Restrict data usage", under mobile data, check the TOP sim2, the warning "Restrict sim2 mobile data connection from all apps", and clicking restrict will block all apps from sim2/mobile.. there is also a "default apps access" if u really want to account for future apps..
now u know how to disable, only hope you can remember how to REENABLE should the need arise
hopefully will help someone..
Stormy.
