BB 9330 - turning off mobile network data services causes BIS WiFi connection to change to not connected

re: v. 6.0.0.719 bundle 3084 platform 4.4.0.560 update
1. History.
a. Received BlackBerry Curve 9330 out of the box with bundle 2333 installed (but missing Verizon Visual Mail Message app.) Installed BB Desktop Software on laptop, connected smartphone to PC, Attempted to install bundle 3084, but initialization apparently failed, phone still showing bundle 2333 installed and no VVM app. Browser app unable to connect to network. On second try was able to complete 3084 install. Still no VVM app. Now some times the browser connects, sometimes it does not. Browser not connecting appears to be BB software bug. VVM issue appears to be one for the service provider.
b. Data service is currently Verizon BlackBerry Social Messaging Data Package which is suppose to have BlackBerry Internet Services via WiFi per Verizon FAQ doc.
2. Problem. With an active WiFi connection the Browser app is not connecting via WiFi giving a error message that WiFi service is required.
Investigation found if mobile network data service was turn off in Mobile Network Options, the BlackBerry Internet Services connection status was changed from connected to "WiFi" to "not connected". Browser appears to work ok when mobile network data service is turned on. BIS connection to WiFi comes back on. Not sure at this point if web data is going via mobile network or WiFi.
I am wondering if other BB 9330 Verizon users are seeing the same symptoms.
Bill
P.S. I could not find where to report this apparent software bug. So I hope is the right place.

If you have your Mobile Network as well as Wi-Fi turned on, your phone will default to the Wi-Fi for browsing (assuming you have a strong Wi-Fi signal).  Leaving both on will allow you to browse as well as receive calls and texts.
I hope that helps you.

    Yes, you can turn off cellular data. You will not be able to use Visual Voicemail or get MMS messages, however.

  • I have to turn off mobile data to connect to public wifi!?

    I have found with my phone that to connect to public wifi in places such as my local bar or where I work, that I have to turn off mobile data in settings to connect to the wifi.
    These are wifi hotspots where you have to create a free account to use them, and when you try to connect to them in wifi settings in iOS, when they connect, a little browser screen appears. If mobile data is turned off, then the broswer window will show a welcome screen or message saying connected (dpending on which spot Im connecting to), however if Data isn't turned off, the browser screen just does nothing or I get the apple.com screen with a small text message saying success, then disconnects me from the wifi!
    It wasn't so much an issue before because, in wifi settings for each hotspot I had options for auto-login and auto-join which allowed me not to have to keep reconnecting, however since updating to iOS6, these have changed and its been a nightmare since. This is because these spots tend to kick you off after 20-30mins and then you have to reconnect (which you can understand having to turn off mobile data everytime to do so is annoying).
    Ive noticed that my friends with other iphones, regardless of network, don't have to do this - so why is it an issue for me, or I was wondering if anybody else had the same problem or a fix/solution? And where did the auto-login option from the wifi settings go?

    After much googling for the past few hours, I think I finally found the answer to my problem. Apparently if you have the Onavo app along with the profile it installs, that interferes with connecting to Cisco based wifi hotspots, and the only way around it is the method I used above by turning off mobile data!

    https://getsatisfaction.com/onavo/topics/onavo_prevents_from_being_able_to_conne ct_to_public_wifi_hotspots_that_have_terms_of_use_agreements
    I have uninstalled the app and profile, and will see if that fixes the issue tomorrow when Im at work

  • Going overseas turning off all unnecessary data updates

    We're going overseas and have read we should turn off all unnecessary data updates. What would one turn off? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

    Very good question, as too many people don't ask it and are confronted with huge bills coming home from a holiday.
    The answer of wjosten is applicable when you don't want to make or to be able to receive calls or send/receive SMS messages. In short: you'll use your iPhone at WIFI spots to access the internet.
    If would like to remain reachable and be able to make calls I recommend your turn off all data usage through telephony networks when abroad, which you can do in Settings -> General -> Network -> Data Roaming
    Note that generally when abroad you'll pay when answering a call and, optionally, receiving an SMS. Your service provider should be able to provide with the rates for this, as well as the rates for making a call or sending an SMS from the country you're in.
    To check your e-mail and browse the web follow the advice of wjosten and look for WIFI networks on you destination. Even if they're not free, they are for sure cheaper than using the telephone network via your iPhone.

  • I turned off documents and data in my iCloud setting on my iPhone. How do I turn it back on?

    I turned off "documents and data" from my iCloud settings on
    my iPhone. How do I turn it back on?

    If you're running iOS 8, it's on by default and you don't have the option to turn it off.  You can confirm that it's on by checking Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage and make sure you see your apps are listed under the Documents & Data setting.  (It will only list apps that sync documents & data with iCloud.)

  • Turn Off Firewire Networking. You need to do this!

    10.4.3 install turns on firewire networking. If you are using a firewire interface, turning this off greatly improves performance. Go to system preferences, network. In the show menu select Network Port Configurations, and turn off "built-in firewire".
    This has vastly improved stability with my mlan firewire stuff.
    When switched on, osx constantly monitors the firewire ports for a network.

    What is "fast user switching" (and where is it found)?
    Also, will turning off FW networking affect whether or not Target Disk Mode will function?

  • Group Policy to disable ability to turn off wireless networking in Windows 8.1 Update

    I am wanting to disable the ability to turn off wireless networking in our Windows 8.1 Update clients using Group Policy. We are a school that runs classroom management software enabling the teachers to view what the students have on their screens.
    Students just switch off their wireless to avoid detection. I have searched the Group Policy listings and can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi  GeoffAUS,
    I can’t find a direct group policy to disable the users’ ability to turn off the wireless network in Windows 8.1.
    If we just disable the display of wireless connection, we will need to additionally disable the ability that disabling the driver in device manager.
    We could try the workaround to use UAC to control the wireless connection.
    Go to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->Security Options, and set the option
    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
    Please make sure the computer automatically connect to Wireless.
    For more information, please refer to the following article.

  • I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and would like to turn off sending crash data to App developers.  How do I do this?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and would like to turn off sending crash data to App developers.  How do I do this?

    Hello prlipton,
    If you want to stop sending reports to Apple and developers when apps crash, then go to System Preferences, click on Security & Privacy and click on Privacy. You will then see on the left side of the window an section for Diagnostics & Usage with the option to turn off sending crash data to app developers. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Turn off documents and data

    I don't want to backup my documents and data on iCloud.  When I try to turn this option off, I see "If you turn off documents and data, all documnets stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac"
    Yikes! What the heck is that all about and how can I get around it?

    The documents and data will remain on the iCloud server and your Mac will no longer have access to them if your turn this off.  To keep a local copy, you'll need to save them first as discussed under "Documents" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.
