8350i direct connect messages issue

Hi I was wondering if there was a solution for the messages popping up in the messages folder when someone direct connects me? Yes I have turned off the forward to none and really could not make heads or tails of the one post there is on this issue. I am assuming that us 8350 owners have to wait for a software upgrade. Is this correct or has this issue been solved in another way.
Thanks

I have the 8350i and a Mac.
I have my info on iCal and Address Book.
When I sync, everything is ok, except 2 problems.
The Direct Connect ID's and the BB PIN's do not sync.
In the Mac's Address Book, I have them under:
DCID = 'Home 2'
BB PIN = 'Home Fax'
I have them labeled like that because that's how Entourage/Address Book syncs them.
For example,
When I create a new contact on my BB that has email, phone, address, direct connect#, PIN, company... and then I sync with my mac... I will see in the Mac's Address Book the new contact with the email, phone, address, company... but no direct connect# and no PIN.
In short, there is no field that corresponds to Direct Connect# and PIN# when trying to sync with BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac and a BlackBerry Curve 8350i. Is this true?

Direct Connect Migration Issues

So I'm about to get my MacBook Pro in the mail soon and I was looking at Apple's Great Migration page. Here is what I want to do (direct connect):
Direct connect
To move files by connecting your Mac directly to your PC:
1. Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. Make sure that both computers are turned on.
3. In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
4. Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
* smb://DNSname/ShareName
* smb://IPaddress/ShareName
5. Click Connect.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
7. Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
8. Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
9. When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it.
For #4, what do I enter in for this?:
* smb://DNSname/ShareName
* smb://IPaddress/ShareName
Thanks so much!

There are several BDE replacements that allow you to connect to
Oracle from Delphi with out BDE or ODBC
DOA- Direct Oracle Access from Allaround Automation ~$200.00
http://www.allroundautomations.nl/index.html
NCOCI8 is freeware.
Goto to www.kylecords.com and they list BDE replacements.
I use DOA and their PL/SQL developer systems from Allaround
Automations and they are both excellent systems with excellent
support.

Find my iPhone connection message issue

I was attempting to use "find my iPhone" app to locate my daughter's iPod Touch this morning and got the following error message when checking it from both my laptop and my iphone:
"Actions will take effect when this iPod connects to the internet."
I finally found the iPod Touch on my own (it somehow snuck under a couch cushion again!) and was curious why this message came up. I checked the Touch, it was on, had almost full power adn was connected to my home's WIFI.
As an aside, I have my wife, my and my other two kid's phones all under my Apple ID as well and all of those phones were located just fine.
My own iPad had the same message as the touch....
I did a pretty exhaustive search of the internet and tried a few things.
I have:
Turned off the Touch, waited and turned it back on.
Delected the find my iPhone app from the Touch and downloaded it again.
Made sure iCloud was logged in on the Touch--it was.
Made sure Find my iPod was "on"...it was.
Logged out and back into my iCloud on my laptop.
Tried to simply send the "Play a Sound" to the Touch--got the message, "Pending: Play Sound"
Made sure I could go out on the internet using Safari
Turned Safari On in iCloud from the Touch.
Made sure I was connected to my home WIFI from the Touch
Connected the iTouch back to my laptop again and automatically connected to my iTunes account, making sure the Touch was up to date.
While in iTunes, made some more room on the iTouch by deleting some music and downloading all the photos...just for the heck of it really.
At this point, I ran out of ideas that I could find online.
I don't get it....my phones are all working just fine with "Find my iPhone" and it seems everything is working and connected.
Any suggestions would be appeciated. Thanks!

You said :
Made sure I could go out on the internet using Safari
Turned Safari On in iCloud from the Touch.
What do you mean by the second statement? I do not understnd what iCloud has to do with Safari.
Can you surf the web with Safari on the iPod?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Problem with "Direct Send Messages" icon on 8350i

The other day I updated the firmware on my 8350i to v4.6.1.128. I immediately noticed one of the improvements was that Direct Send info from Direct Connect calls weren't filling up my Messages inbox anymore and were instead grouped into one message for each individual contact, instead of one for each time they chirped me. I also noticed a new blue folder icon on the home screen called "Direct Send Messages," which I figured once clicked on, would take me to my inbox filtered to only display those types of messages - much like the individual icons for each of the multiple email inboxes I have setup (AOL, GMail, etc.). I also assumed that they would no longer appear in my main Messages app but instead be routed to the new icon much like my MMS messages since I have my inbox options set to "Theme controlled" - but again that is just an assumption and not a big deal for me.
Unfortunately when I click on the "Direct Send Messages" icon, nothing happens. I am however able to use the "View Folder" menu option in my main Messages app and then select the "Direct Send Messages" folder from there and it works correctly. I don't know if this is a known issue with the new update or not.
Any suggestions on how to get this working correctly?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Wow! Formal support for all BBs is via the carriers...for them to blow you off like that is pretty horrible. I'd suggest contacting them again and push them a little bit more...you have a support agreement with them, if they are not honoring it, escalate with them.
In the meantime, are you on their most recent device OS level? If not, then you might consider updating to see if indeed what they have said holds some kernel of truth. You can check their DL site via this portal:

8350i Nextel Direct Connect doesn't work with GM Onstar Bluetooth

Paired my 8350i to my 2009 Chevy Silverado with Onstar and Bluetooth. Can make and receive phonecalls with Bluetooth but Direct Connect cannot. I have to turn off Bluetooth on the 8350i in order to utilize Direct Connect.

I have an 8350i with Nextel, and had similar issues with the Bluetooth in my 2012 Hyundai Accent.     Also by accident, I was able to figure out how to work the Nextel. You do need to use the PTT button on the phone as you normally would.  (If you try listening in the handset it will not work, the connection to the bluetooth in the car needs to activate.)   If someone initiates a PTT conversation with you press the green "pick up call" button on the vehicle's bluetooth.   This will cause the bluetooth connection with the vehicle to activate.   Then you will be able to hear and speak through the vehicles bluetooth system while pressing and releasing the PTT button as you would if you were using Nextel through the handset.
It is even more awkward if you try placing a PTT call.   Hit the green "pick up call" button and even though the bluetooth system will be asking you for verbal commands to initiate a phone call, ignore them and "chirp" the person as you normally would. It will work, not pretty, but it will work. At the end of the call the system will still be asking for verbal commands, but simply hang up.
This worked whether the phone was in vibrate, speaker or not.

How to hide to stop receiving Direct Connect logs in the Message Folder

I have an 8350i that I use with a BES. I just recenlty had the unit swapped out under warranty, but now I can not figure out how to keep the Direct Connect calls from filling up my message folder. With my older unit it did not logs the DC calls.
I have already set the Call Logging to NONE and I have set both the Hide Filed messages and Sent message to YES
Thanks in advance,
Randy

My phone has been doing the same thing since day one. I thought there was a way to correct the symptom but instead i chose to deal with it. I wonder if an update took away this option? I scoured the owners manual and bb online with no such luck. I contaced my carrier, no luck there either, I hope someone answers this thread soon.

A question about direct connect and getting emails on BB curve 8350i

can someone please help me....I'm new to BB and I just purchased a curve 8350i. First question when I direct connect to someone after i'm done with the call, i always get a message about the call i just did. How do I stop from getting those annoying messages. Second question I have an email set up in my BB. Now everytime I get a email I get a copy in my message icon and my email icon, how do I stop from getting a copy of my email messages. I would appreciate if anyone can anwer my questions...Thank You

1. no idea
2. you can find answers for this all over the forums, it gets asked atleast once a day.
the messages icon is a general incoming icon, all incoming messages go there, only item you can seperate from it are sms & mms texts.
if you use txting, you can seperate sms from the msgs, then hide msgs. use email and sms icons
when you delete your email from email icon it will automatically delete from msgs as well. its not actually 2 emails in 2 locations, its 2 locations pointing to the same email

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

How to send message to direct connected users

Hi,
I am working on a text Chat application with FMS4 "RTMFP" connection and i am looking a functionality to send direct message to one to another peer, please some one help me.
Thanks
Sushil

Below are the lines from above link which you can use for your purpose if your users are directly connected.
Sending Message
// peer2ID is of #2 (Moscow)
var message:Object = new Object();
message.destination = netGroup.convertPeerIDToGroupAddress(peer2ID);
message.value = "Hello I am message from #1";
netGroup.sendToNearest(msg, msg.dest);
Receiving Message
When you receive a Direct Routing message, it comes to NetStatusEvent with code “NetGroup.SendTo.Notify”:
netGroup.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);
function netStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
     switch(e.info.code){
     case "NetGroup.SendTo.Notify":
          // e.info.message contains our message Object
          trace("Received Message: "+e.info.message.value);
          break;
But this will work only if #2 is a neigbor of #1.
So if it is not directly connected use forwarding.

Groupwise address book sync with Nextel Direct connect #'s for 8350i

Is there a way to sync address books for groupwise and 8350i to included the nextel direct connect information?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Mapping solves the problem. Groupwise has no corresponding field for "Direct Connect". For ease of data entry, I mapped the Direct Connect field in my 8350i with the pager field in my groupwise address books. The BB desktop manager now syncs the nextel direct connect #'s.
The steps are:
In BB desk top manager, select Sync Configuration; address book; advanced; Field Mapping (at bottom of list). Map an unused field in the GW address book with the direct connect field in the 8350i.
I assumethis would also work with outlook and others.

Traceroute issue- MPLS VPN on directly connected interfaces

I have 2 Catalyst 6509 Switches that Im trying to bring up and MPLS VPN connection between. The loopbacks can ping each other, as well as the directly connected interfaces (the interfaces travel through 2 switches, but no routing etc in between). An OSPF neighbor relationship DOES come up, and the routing tables appear normal. However, the MPLS VPN does NOT come up.
After further review, I found that the routing tables are correct on either side for the loopbacks (public addresses X’d out on first 3 octets):
SWITCH A:
Bryan-26th-CAT-2#sh ip route 10.255.2.2
Routing entry for 10.255.2.2/32
Known via "ospf 23532", distance 110, metric 2, type intra area
Last update from X.X.X.70 on Vlan65, 00:10:25 ago
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* X.X.X.70, from 10.255.2.2, 00:10:25 ago, via Vlan65
Route metric is 2, traffic share count is 1
SWITCH B:
DAL-COLO-6509-1#sh ip route 10.255.2.3
Routing entry for 10.255.2.3/32
Known via "ospf 23532", distance 110, metric 2, type intra area
Last update from X.X.X.69 on Vlan65, 02:26:50 ago
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* X.X.X.69, from 10.255.2.3, 02:26:50 ago, via Vlan65
Route metric is 2, traffic share count is 1
This is exactly the same for the directly connected interfaces on VLAN65. (X.X.X.69 and X.X.X.70). The ARP cache also shows to be correct:
SWITCH A:
Bryan-26th-CAT-2#sh arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet X.X.X.70 147 0009.b6a4.b800 ARPA Vlan65
Internet X.X.X.69 - 001c.b144.5800 ARPA Vlan65
SWITCH B:
DAL-COLO-6509-1#sh arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet X.X.X.70 - 0009.b6a4.b800 ARPA Vlan65
Internet X.X.X.69 141 001c.b144.5800 ARPA Vlan65
And once again, the OSPF Neighbor relationship does come up:
SWITCH A:
Bryan-26th-CAT-2# sh ip ospf neigh
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
10.255.2.2 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:30 X.X.X.70 Vlan65
SWITCH B:
DAL-COLO-6509-1#sh ip ospf neig
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
10.255.2.3 1 FULL/DR 00:00:33 X.X.X.69 Vlan65
In the Troubleshooting MPLS VPN manuals- it shows to test trace routes. All of our other connections like this the trace routes work fine. In this case though, I cannot trace route not only between the loopback interfaces, but between the DIRECTLY CONNECTED interfaces. I don’t know what this is. It should simply be a one hop trace route. I believe this is what is keeping the MPLS VPN from coming up. Any ideas? Here are the relevant OSPF configs and interface configs as well:
SWITCH A:
interface Vlan65
description Connection to DAL-COLO-6509-2
mtu 1580
ip address X.X.X.69 255.255.255.252

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Greg,
Can you explain more about your issue?. When you say MPLS VPN is not coming up, do you mean the ping (or traffic) from CE connected to one 6509 is not traversing the MPLS cloud to otehr CE connected to remote 6509?.
Do you have VRF enabled with respective RT import/export?. Do you have MP-BGP with VPNv4 AF enabled?.
To confirm if basic MPLS is working fine, Can you check if you have LDP neighborship up and running?. Use "show mpls ldp neighbor" to see the session.
Also do a "ping mpls ipv4 <remote-loopback> <mask>" and see if it works?.

Call log for direct connect 8350i

I have suddenly lost all direct connect calls from call log. I have been through this site over and over and don't seem to find anyone with the same problem. I have tried all the simple solutions and some more complex: 1. I have gone throught the battery stuff 2. I have gone through both call log. Options under the call log options 3. I have installed the latest version 4.6.1 and desktop manager 4.7 4. I have master reset the radio. I have transfered all my contacts into outlook but seems outlool 2003 doest not have the dc field. Before doing a wipe out can any one let me know; either how to back up all of the information, or help me solve the problem so I can scroll throigh my call log and choose the recent dc contacts? Thanks Marroco2

hello,
you can configure the Desktop Manager so that the DC field in your Blackberry contacts gets mapped to a field of the Outlook contact.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Getting "refused connection" message; can't video or audio chat

I have searched and read posts on this forum but I am somewhat at a loss, perhaps due to my lack of sophistication on these issues. Here are the facts:
My son is living in Belgium this summer, and we had hoped to iChat with him using audio and video. He has a 15" PowerBook G4 running 10.4.6 and iChat 3.14, and an external iSight.
This computer, behind an AirPort Express Base Station, worked well all year for video iChatting at college (USA).
He now has the same computer (firewall off), the same AirPort Express Base Station in his Belgian apartment. The apartment is connected via a Prestige 841 DSL modem (I believe this is a Zyxel unit).
We get the "the user refused the connection" message when audio or video chat is attempted. We are able to chat text-only. Also, Skype works (wasn't installed until after these problems were noted).
At my end I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.6, built-in iSight camera, iChat 3.1.4, behind an AirPort Extreme. I am able to video and audio chat with other people behind this configuration.
Also my son can't audio or video chat with iChat with other users, so clearly the problem is at his end.
I had him change the port that iChat works on from 5190 to 443 but that didn't help. QuickTime streaming speed has been adjusted on both his computer and mine.
It appears that the prestige 841 is not actually a router but just a dsl modem, so I don't think there is any port issue with that unit. The airport express isn't doing any port forwarding, to my knowledge, at his end, but I admit to being a bit confused.
I tried looking at the Ralph Johns' ichat pages but I couldn't figure much out from them, especially since I in am the USA and my son's machines are in Belgium. Hopefully I have provided enough information to get a step-by-step solution from the local genuises here - please?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Andrew,
I can not see the 841 listed on this site.
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
This may be that it does not Route or it could mean it is recently new and not on the list yet.
However we can find out by doing a few things.
If you go to System Preference > Network.
There are two drop downs near the top.
Choose the Airport option in the second drop down.
Now click the TCP/IP tab
It should then look like the Pic Molly and I have been swopping in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2531947#2531947
(your IP as 10.0.1.xxx and the "router" being 10.0.1.1 fro the Airport)
An Airport device does not do Port Forwarding as such.
in it's default mode is does NAT everything. This means it does point all data to a specific IP from one side (modem or ISP if modem is in Bridge) to the other (LAN = Computers).
This can mean problems if the modem does route and is DOING DHCP.
IF he takes the Airport out of the connection set up and connects direct to the modem does it work ?
Get him to repeat the above in System Preferences > Network.
This time he will have to select Built-in Ethernet from the drop down.
We will need to know the IP that now shows up. Refere to the thread I linked you to and the posts to Molly about how to tel if the modem is in Bridge from the IP numbers he gets.
There are test accounts and real live testers listed in the 3 tables on this page
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html
Which ones can you get to and can your son when connected direct to the modem ?
IF the Modem is routing then it will be simply a question of turning DHCP Off in the Airport and making it a Wireless Access point.
Go to Applications/Utilities
Open Airport Admin Utility.
Log on to the Airport in the first window.
Then go to the Network tab in the main window.
Deselect Distributing Addresses (This is the Airport's DHCP)
If you repeat the System Preferences > Network > > TCP/IP tab thing you should now see the same or at least similar IPs as when connected directly to the modem
Keep the Quicktime setting to match the download speed.
As it is a Zyxel keep the port at 443.
Also get him to Check if his MAc Firewall is On
( System Prefereces > Sharing > Firewall tab)
Also check the Advanced Button here and theat it is Not set set to "BLock ALl UDP Traffic"
