Blackberry 8800 with telering provider

Hi, I live in Austria, Europe. I have a Blackberry 8800 and recently had to change the provider (previously A1 Vodafone).
I now have a SIM card from "telering" (part of the T-Mobile group, Austria) with a contract called "Grosser Basta", which includes 2GB data volume.
However, I have no idea how to activate GPRS or EDGE to get data transfer. The phone shows GSM only, I can phone and send (and receive) text messages, but I have NO e-mail or Internet access. Telering is not very helpful, I'm afraid.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful, thanks in advance.
Greetings from Austria, Peter Pischler.

Hello Peter_987 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
It sounds like your PIN has not been provisioned for data with the new mobile network carrier.
If you go to Options>Advanced Options>Host Routing Table, do you have any entries listed? If not, if you do Menu>Register now, do you get the registration message?
If you answer No to either of these questions then you will need to contact the current mobile carrier and ensure your data services are provisioned.
Hope this helps!

Sync BlackBerry 8800 with MacBook

I'm using MacBook running 10.4.9. Also, I'm using BlackBerry 8800.
Now, I have tried both PocketMac & Missing Sync for BlackBerry, but both didn't work. I managed to sync with iCal, but not Address Book. Can anyone help me?
I want to know if the USB cable matters? 'Cos I left the original BlackBerry USB cable at office for synchronizing with my desktop PC. So I use the USB cable for my Motorola mobile phone, which is also USB to mini-USB. Could this be the cause for not being able to sync? But if that is the case, why I can sync iCal? So, I suppose this was not the cause.
Now, if that's not the cause, can anyone please help? Greatly appreciate.
Thanks and regards,
Gary

I believe that it's actually more accurate to say that the 'decision' was one by RIM rather than Mark/Space. Here's what the developer of the Missing Sync for Blackberry has to say about using BES wireless synchronization:
"…you can sync the BlackBerry to the BES, but in order to sync the BlackBerry to the Mac using Missing Sync you will need to turn off the BES sync and then sync, when you are done syncing with your Mac you can turn the BES sync back on on the device.
Steps for turning off BES wireless sync:
1. Launch Address Book on the BlackBerry.
2. Access the Menu (press wheel or menu button depending on device).
3. Choose Options.
4. If BES is enabled, there will be a Wireless Synchronization menu item.
5. Make sure the Wireless Synchronization option is set to NO.
6. Repeat for each of the following that have Wireless Sync enabled: Calendar, Tasks, and MemoPad.
For the sync with Missing Sync to work the wireless sync must be turned off at the application level.
Please note, if you are trying to sync to both the Mac and the BES then you need to click on the 'Preference' option in Missing Sync and check the option: 'Allow syncing to multiple computers'. If you do not check that option then you will not be able to keep everything in sync when changes are made on the device and then synced to the BES before syncing to the Mac."

Blackberry 8800 receiving thousands of old emails

Hi, i am experiencing a bizarre issue where my work's blackberry is receiving thousands of old emails. Currently there are 8500 emails in the inbox! It is making the blackberry unusable because it is constantly receiving emails.
We used a Blackberry 8800 with BIS and Exchange Server 2003.
I've tried deleting the account from my Carrier's (o2) Internet Service site (which forwards all our exchange server's emails) to the blackberry but this hasn't stopped it. I have tested another email account we have on the exchange server and that has worked fine and only delivers those messages that it should do.
My carrier is saying that it is our exchange server and something specific to this email address (which it could be). Has anybody else had this or knows what to do on exchange server or with the carrier to get it resolved?
It seems as if the marker perhaps on the exchange server or the BIS that tells which messages are "new" has gone wrong and needs changing but i don't know where in Exchange Server or BIS this could be.
I've searched this and other forums and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am facing problems of a similar kind.
I have realized that I am kissing my emails from the yahoo account (from the inbox as well as stored emails from the folders). Some of the massages were recently stored some were stored while ago. I have contacted yahoo, they were checking the account and finally they have come to conclusion that it's most likely that the problems of loosing emails are caused by the mobile device. And it's true - this is something I didn't tell yahoo gays, but I have realized the emails are vanishing from the foleders once I was trying to reach them from my iPhone.
I am using iPhone 3GS with the lasted version of iOS 4.
If by ugrading I can restore my emails, then I would do this immediately.
What is the performance of your iPhone 3GS with iOS 5...?

Entourage and iSync with BlackBerry 8800

I've been starting to use Entourage a ton and I've found it to be really useful. However, I use Missing Sync to connect to my Blackberry (8800). When I go to pref's in Entourage I click all the boxes to sync with .mac but I'm not sure it's done so because there is no affirmation when I click ok. Can I sync directly to Entourage, or can I make all the "plugin names" on Missing Sync (like calender, contacts, music, notes, etc) that link directly to Entourage.

Thanks, but I've used marks/space for notes and I sync it with Missing Sync.... but the notes that transfer always get cut off. Sometimes I transfer articles or papers, etc, that are pretty lengthy. And it seems to me that they all get cut off at around 1,500 words.

USB and Blackberry 8800

I am trying to connect my Blackberry 8800 to my Dual 2 GHz G5 and the computer is not acknowledging the device. I can attach the Blackberry to a G4 laopto and things work great. Seems to be a USB issue. Any Suggestions.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
In your post I did not see if you had checked in the hardware device manager to see if you
had any driver conflicts. Should be listed with a yellow caution flag. (example below.)
You have run through the USB troubleshooting procedure, I would look the first procedure listed below.
It address's conflicts in com ports etc. The procedure is for the smartphone not being detected, but
it will give you additional information on potential device and driver conflicts.
The second link listed addresses the proper registration of the com serial and USB drivers. Again
The procedure is for a different error, but you are having a driver conflict and it is pertinent.
Thanks,

Sync Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX

Hi.
Does anyone know how to sync a Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX, in order to get all contacts over to an iPhone.
Is there a free software out there (whyever Nokia doesn´t provide one).
Thx,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nokia used to produce Mac versions of the PC Suite software back in the long-gone days of the early Communicator series, but Apple applied pressure for that to stop, because they wanted all Apple users to sync with their own iSync software.
Regretably, Apple is not great at ensuring compatibility with all phones from all manufacturers. For more information, go to http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download - you will see that the original Nokia 8800 is compatible with iSync but that subsequent versions like 880 Sirocco, 8800 Arte etc. are not yet covered.
iSync itself is made by Apple, and the Nokia site will link to Apple to download it. Nokia does provide some plugins to make some common models work, but I don't think that later 8800 versions are included. It is possible to search for third-party plgins that may solve the issue if your 8800 is not the original model.

Activation Issue - Blackberry Connect with e61i on...

Hi,
I have been using the Blackberry Internet Service on my e61i with Vodafone UK for the past 9 months.
Today I upgraded the e61i firmware to version 2.0633.65.01, and the Blackberry Connect 4.0 7.45.0, but I am unable to re-activate the Blackberry service with my operator, Vodafone UK.
I also tried the BB Connect 4.0 version that is recommended on the Nokia site to work with Vodafone UK, but no luck either - possibly as the new e61i firmware is not backwards compatible with the older BB Connect 4.0 7.17.2 release.
My guess is that Nokia have not validated the latest BB Connect 4.0 7.45.0 version to work with the e61i on Vodafone UK's Blackberry Internet service, but I am stuck?
I thought of re-installing the older e61i firmware that did work, but I cannot seem to find a link to download versions other than the latest release (via the Nokia software updater) from the Nokia site?

Ahhhhh, I am not alone :-)
I have posted already a couple of messages - no reply so far. I have done the same upgrade like Patrick- with German's T-Mobile. So, it does not seem to be the provider whi i sleeping here. I asked already in 4 Club Nokia Service Points and two already commented that Nokia is releasing theor firmware at times too quickly and before having validated the most important applications on compatibility.
I really, really hope that Nokia realises that all those potential eg. E61i fans are up against the Blackberry fraction and if they cannot maintain their BBConnect SW up-to-date they will loose a bunch of "business users" to their competitors which are hooked to a BB enterprise server with no choice of another corporate mail handheld system.
Just wanted to share this with you so that you don`t waste your time finding what YOU did wrong in your upgrade. Been there done that.
Pleeeaaasse submit if anybody has an idea.

i believe this link might solve the problem, i did the same thing but this version of the bbc software solves the problem, at least it works on vodafone uk :-)

Blackberry 8800 - does not meet system requirements for app world

hi, i have recently boght a second hand blackberry 8800, which was o2 and now has a tesco sim card in it, running V 4.2.1.101.
The problem is that i can't get app world to download. I can browse, and use BBM so my blackberry browsing is on?
I have phoned and checked with Tesco, and as far as they can see i have the data plans etc, just possibly need to update my OS. But when i plug in to the PC and run an update check it says there are none available. Also, the requirements for App world are V4.2 which i have, so i am getting a bit stuck now.
Any help would be great as I'm getting a bit annoyed now!!! TA
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The requirement for running AppWorld is not OS 4.2, it's OS 4.5 according to the download page on www.blackberry.com . That's where you're running into problems. Updating your OS would solve that.
Here's the link stating that:

N73 or Blackberry 8800 and Ford Bluetooth & Voice ...

I have an N73 and a Blackberry 8800.
I can pair the Blackberry up ok with my Ford Mondeo intergrated bluetooth and voice activation system and it works fine other than not being able to transfer my phone book to allow voice dialling by name. Can this be done?
I also have the Nokia N73.
Again, this pairs OK but not properly as I am told it sounds like I am in a wind tunnell when using it. Also none of the contacts show when I scan through the phone options using the car controls.
I have downloaded the sis file on the Nokia site but it is not compatible with the N73. Can you please suggest a way round this to make it work.
Many thanks.
John

Hello ajalro,
yes I solved my problem...the phonebook is not visible how manual ford says but (for N73 of course) you have to enter in phone mode (press phone button on the radio console) and scroll the phone menu by pressing right position on the circular button fitted on radio console until you will see "phonebook" tag, so you have only scroll phonebook list by up,down positions on the same circular button.
SO FOR N73 IT'S NOT NECESSARY ANY .SIS FILE!
I hope helping you.
bye

Blackberry registeration with CME

hi all,
I want to know whether one can install the client on blackberry phone same as nokia e71 and register the blackberry phone with cme via wifi. Can somebody provide the link for the documentation
Regards
Nareh

It seems BlackBerry launched complete product - the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System that can be integrated with CME:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/business/blackberry_mvs/
Here is Configuration Guide:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/deliverables/20062/BlackBerry_Mobile_Voice_System-Configuration_Guide--1079341-0901073810-001-5.0.1-US.pdf
What I have noticed from document is that "the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System integrates your organization's PBX phone system with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to extend desk phone features to BlackBerry devices". In other words you will need BlackBerry® Enterprise Server working as well for the system to function.
So I guess to install all it if you have only couple of BlackBerry phones is senseless.
I'm curious if it would be possible to use without BlackBerry® Enterprise Server having just simple client on the phone like Nokia Call Connect, for instance with Nokia E-series phones.

Hello!
The "Platform" information is not what denotes the OS level...rather, it is, on the device, what shows before the Platform data.
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for each model. Please use those as reference as you proceed.
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
