BlackBerry Balance, BYOD and BES

Hi folks. I'm hoping someone can help me understand something. I currently have a personal BIS BB, and was quoted around £30/month to provision it for BES so I could use it for work as well.
With the advent of blackberry balance and BES10, if I wish to use a personal BlackBerry or PlayBook does that still apply?  The features of Balance look great, but if it still requires the user to have a BES plan on a personal BB, wouldn't that kill BB in the BYOD arena? 
Thanks, Nik

Hey nikgilbe,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
This would depend on what you are using BlackBerry® Balance with, BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or  BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express.
If you are using BlackBerry® Balance with a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server then you would require a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server service plan and if being used with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express then a BlackBerry® Internet Service data plan would be required for the BlackBerry® smartphone. 
You can find more information on BlackBerry® Balance here: http://ca.blackberry.com/business/software/blackberry-balance.html#tab-1
I hope this helps.

  • How does a BlackBerry handheld connect to BES for the first time?

    How does a Blackberry device connect to BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for the first time? Is there a risk that a rogue BlackBerry handheld connects to BES?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    When a BES admin sets up a BB on BES, they configure the unique BB PIN into their BES and also create credentials that are required to actually complete the registration process on the BB. So, while there is no perfect security anywhere, I don't think the risk you are concerned about is high enough to warrant any attention.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry, Exchange 2003 and Macbook - best solution

    I am interested to hear how other people manage in a windows work environment while using a macbook and running a blackbery on a BES server. I have considered bootcamp with windows 7, parallels, fusion etc. Do most pople workin in osx and use parallels or similar to keep outlook open to enable blackbery synch etc, or do people just work exclusively in windows on bootcamp. Ideally, I wouldnt have windows at all, it is just that I cant find a way to have wireless synch of outlook and blackberry with BES server without doing this. I cant be fussed to sit and connect my blackberry to my computer (either by bluetooth or usb) to keep synching the blackberry and macbook. Any suggestions

    It is in sync. All the time. Hence the BES Server.
    The only thing you need to do is setup your macbook email app to access your MS Exchange account on the server.
    Do you not have a desktop computer at work that allows you to view your email? Mimic the settings on your laptop. The sync happens at the email server level - not on local machines.
    If you don't have a desktop computer at work, then you will need to contact your IT Admin and ask him to give you all the login settings and just plug them in to your macbook email application.
    What you do on the laptop will be mirrored on your blackberry and vice versa.
    As a technical note: Your blackberry is not the sync agent. The BES Server is. And BES doesn't maintain your email either. Its MS Exchange. BES only acts as a "middle-man" between your email server and the handhelds.

  • Work profile in Blackberry Balance as default?

    Hi. Is there any option, how to set the work profile in Balance as the default profile? I am very confused about the two profiles. Sometimes I switch unintentionaly to the personal profile and dont get my notifications all the day. Generally, there should be an option how to disable Balance at all and to have only one all-in-one profile.

    Hi RobertP,
    Thanks for your question on BlackBerry Balance.
    The Work partition cannot be set as the default profile. 
    You should still receive notifications whilst in the Personal profile. What type of notifications are you failing to get whilst in Personal?

  • Can not access to blackberry balance work files with *.zip extension

    I have a playbook 32 GB running OS 2.1.0.1526.
    For my work e-mail, I used to use playbook often. I downloaded lots of files from my work e-mail. However using native file manager app on playbook, I can only see pictures, videos, music, office, pdf files of the downloaded ones. Other unsupported files are MISSING !!! There are also some zipped files I downloaded. I am sure. But I can not access them !!!
    I tried another way using dsktop manager, but I can not reach the blackberry balance files by PC. 
    I tried some file manager apps from the market but no solution.
    I need that unsupported files, is there a way to reach them ?

  • Blackberry Balance - Remember App

    Good Day!
    I have configured Blackberry Balance but it seems that it is not working as it should be.
    I input notes in Remember under Work Area but it can be open in Personal Area even if Balance is lock.
    Is this normal? 

    Hey Fuzzler,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    This is by design and normal.  If you access the work space, you are unlocking the workspace until the security timeout kicks in.  So when you go back to your personal space you will have access to work and personal.  When the security timeout kicks in, you will see the memos are locked for only the workplace.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Does Blackberry Classic requires any BES?

    Hello!
    My company is using Blackberry Enterprise Service at the moment. 
    we want to stop using this server, due to the upgrade costs, but we would like to remain with blackberry devices and, mainly, to buy new blackberry classic devices. 
    Is it it mandatory to have the BES to access our e-mails of Microsoft Exchange server through the Blackberry Classic? 
    Or can it work like any Android and iOS device and access them directly (without the BES)?
    All help is appreciated!
    Thank you!

    You can use Active sync but you can only wipe whole device or get BES 12 whch can remove work side only.

  • BLACKBERRY BALANCE Where is it?

    I have looked everywhere for BlackBerry Balance. When I was on the main screen I tapped on the search and it brings up a box that has a Balance icon. When I click on it it reads my administrator has turned on blackberry balance. Where is it?

    Now that seems like false advertising. I was in Best Buy today looking for a case and I was checking out the advertising for the new Z10 and Balance is all over it but it's not really available to the average guy even if he runs his own business and would like to just keep things separate. I guess it is at a big cost. ;-(

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 and Exchange Email??

    Just got a Blackberry Curve 8330 and was hoping I could use it to get my corporate email.  We are using Exchange SP2 behind an ISA 2006 firewall and OWA is using a self-signed certificate for SSL.  When I attempt to setup this email on my Curve it can not connect to the Exchange server.  I was told that the Blackberry could use OWA to connect, but I am guessing either the ISA server or the self-signed certificate for OWA is causing the problem.  I really love the phone and don't want to have to swap it for something else because of this issue. 

    Ok, well first things first, Does your company have a Blackberry Enterprise Server with their exchange??
    If they do, u need to have a Blackberry Enterprise plan on your service and you can connect straight to their BES/Exchange.
    If they don't have a BB server, you will need to create a pop3 email to link to your device, and have your company forward all your exchange email to your pop3 email.
    This is so large companys must 'pay' a few grand to host a Blackberry server and thus have the email all go through fine..
    If your company does not wish to do this, you must sneak around it the 'Blackberry Internet Solution' way...
    If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.

  • Profit Center wise balance sheet and Profit and Loss account

    Hi Experts,
    I will explain my scenario
    The is cleint having Head Office for handling procurement of goods for all branches(8) and the physical delivery happens for goods at the requested branch and GR and IR also makin at the branch level.
    And we are treated each branch as profit center apart from HO(profit center).But the vendor payment should be happen from HO(prfoit center) so and they are not using automatic payment programme.
    My question is
    1.While doing the vendor (Branch)payment from Cash/Bank GL (HO) how the balances will be tallied ?
    2.If I am using the document splitting and zero balance document clearing will it tally at the profit center level ?
    3.At the period end if I will do the 1KEK T Code to transfer the payables to the profit center which profit center system will take for posting ?
    Please advice me in this and I will give good points with correct answer.

    Hi Edukondalu Garu,
    Please find answers to your questions below:
    1.While doing the vendor (Branch)payment from Cash/Bank GL (HO) how the balances will be tallied ?
    Answer: The Profit Center balances will get automatically tallied due to document splitting and Zero balance account being defined properly.  The automatically identifies it
    2.If I am using the document splitting and zero balance document clearing will it tally at the profit center level ? 
    Answer: Yes that is the main criteria to get full fledged Balance sheet and P&L account by Profit Center
    3.At the period end if I will do the 1KEK T Code to transfer the payables to the profit center which profit center system will take for posting ?
    Anwer: With Document Splitting, you don't have to do the period end transaction in PC to transfer the account payables, accouts receivables and fixed assets.  The transfer is online and real time basis.
    I hope i answered all your questions.
    Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need futher clarifications
    Best Regards

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.
