Blackberry curve 8520 wifi problem

Hi, I just got a Blackberry curve 8520 with T-mobile. I dont have the data plan iI think, since I thought I have wifi at home.
I connected the wifi but just the phone cant get access to internet, my computer can, also my other phone. So I went to the Options, Browsers, to change the setting, yet it only has 2 options: web2go (which cost money), and hotspot browswer (Which i don't think I have in my area). Helps, please.
Do I have to pay to have web access? Even if I have wifi at home?

Yes the 8520 is WiFi capable with UMA. Without a data plan you will need to set the browse up for Hotspots.

and connected it with my pc.
All of sudden it didn't install the device software which is **bleep** me off because I can't do anything with the phone right now.
It gives me this error in the device manager properties:

Blackberry Curve 8520 MMS problem

Hello!
Is anyone out there having this problem with a Blackberry Curve 8520?
My carrier is T-Mobile
Unlimited TEXT MESSAGING and MMS.
We upgraded to 2 Blackberry curve 8520 and had old MOTOROLA RAZR phone before.
With the Motorola and UNLIMITED TEXT MESSAGING with MMS, we were able to send pictures to other people via MMS. After upgrading to the Blackberry Curve 8520, we can no longer send pictures via MMS. When sending a picture via MMS, it sits there with the CLOCK and gets an X after a while. I even called T-Mobile and Blackberry and they have opened up a ticket. We were able to send pictures with the Motorola phones without a DATA PLAN and just with the UNLIMITED TEXT MESSAGING and MMS. There's gotta be others out there with this problem. I don't believe it that Blackberry opened up a ticket and don't have a fix for it.
Thank you!

This sounds like a provisioning issue on tmobile's end.

Blackberry Curve 8520 - Internet problem connecting

Hello, I have bought my daughter a pink bb curve 8520 for christmas. She is on the Tesco (O2 Network), phone was unlocked when purchased. I have been into Teso today to try and resolve intertnet connection issue. Advised to load Desktop Manager disc which I have done and also installed Opera Mini 5.1 - this I have and installed on the phone, but still no connection. I have Wi- Fi setup on the phone, this is working ok, but still no connection to the Internet.
Could you advise how to progress? When clicking browser either get blanck white screen or " contact your service provider" - note Mobile Network, show that "Data Services" is set to "On" and have all the Tesco setting set up as well.
This is very frustrating so anyone who could provide any assistance would be much appreciated.
I have seen the word Edge in the right hand corner of the screen, not sure what this represents ?
Thanks in advance
Neil

BIS (Blackberry Internet Service) is a proprietary service required for data connections on a Blackberry device. Without this you'll experience many issues with features that most people buy the BB for.
Such as:
Can't set up a personal email.
Web Browsing will not work.
Applications that require a data connection will not function. (Social Networking for example)
and Blackberry Messenger does not work.
I would check with your service provider to ensure that the service is provisioned on your plan.
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

Blackberry Curve-8520 Wifi not working.

i have been trying to get my wifi working with my blackberry for a few hours now.I have enetered all my wireless router information and when it tries to connect it, it cant. the wifi symbol isnt lit-up in the top ight hand corner but beside my carrier name (rogers) it says my router name. when I press the blackberry button, go to manage connections it says Wifi with my router name but the button beside that isnt checked there is just "-" through it.
the only reason it says is cant connect to network.
any help would be greatly appretiated.

I have already done that but I am still not able to connect to he internet.
I also tried changing the security setting of my wifi router to WEP which is definitely supported by this handset. but the problem still persists. Any other suggestion?

Blackberry curve 8520 screen problems???

hi, i have a 5 month old blackberry that has not had any water damage (i checked the white stickers)
a month ago small green and black vertical lines started to appear on my screen, but since then they have gotten worse, its almost like a color 'veil' in that section of the screen as things still show up behind it, it is now doing the same thing in a diferent place and im worried that eventually i wont be able to see whats on my screen
is the screen under guarantee??
will this problem still fall under guarantee??
thanks

I'd check with the carrier about this. I don't think a battery pull will help, but you can try.
Also you can check with RIM as another option:

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Battery life issue and Loading icon

Hello, I have an issue with my BlackBerry Curve 8520, the problem is that it has extremely low battery life and half the time it has the loading circle thing in the middle, I first thought it was my batteries fault but after buying a new battery the loading circle thing still comes up but not as much but the battery life is still extremely low (locked or on standby whatever its called it lasts around 2-3 hours, Ive turned off my bluetooth and the problem still remains please help!

Anthony (or anyone else monitoring this thread):
So, what was the outcome of the troubleshooting session with "windycity"?
I don't have a problem with a mysterious icon; however, the anemic battery issue is exactly as windycity described: new charged-up Samsung Haven phone is on; no calls in or out; no text messages either; however, in slightly less than 24 hours, the Haven goes from having a fully-charged battery to one that's dead, or just about.
Like windycity, I bought this simple phone for my father, who just wants a phone he can make voice calls with, nothing more.
However, the sad peformance of this phone+battery has not helped me in my campaign to at least get him to dip his toes into the digital stream -- in fact, he wants me to take it back and cancel the plan!
I'd really rather not do that, but we'll need some kind of resolution to this problem first.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
There's pretty much no diagnosing those -- they are the equivalent of the random errors in Windows for which tracing the root cause is fruitless. Basically, these are the last out in the programming code -- some event occurred for which there is no handler in the code. The fix is a code update that handles the event...but, again, knowing what the event is is pretty much impossible. So, there are a few things to try:
Sometimes, the code simply becomes corrupt and needs to be refreshed -- just like a reboot:
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
If it won't boot up cleanly, then you may need to try Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
There might be an updated code set from the carrier -- check them via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
The toughest possible cause is a badly behaving app. To find it, there are a couple of options. One is to see if you can read the log file:
Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type 'lglg'. (You will not see anything while you type).This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably many pages) untill you see a line that says 'uncaught execption'. Click on this line. The name of the app will be in the info. Alternative methods for bringing up the logs are in this KB:
KB05349How to enable, access, and extract the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone
The other method is to remove apps one at a time, waiting a while in between (I usually recommend a week), until the problem ceases...thereby discovering the offending app. Still another method is to reload the BB OS cleanly, leaving some time between adding other apps onto the BB so as to be able to determine exactly which one is the cause.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Curve 8520 how to disable Edge and surf on WIFI only

Hi,
Could anybody help me to disable Edge network on vodafone and only phone connects to WIFI when using internet on Blackberry Curve 8520.
It would be great help!

Just turn off Mobile network. Uncheck the box. Doing that means you can't make phone calls, though. That's the only way. If they're both on and a wifi connection is present it is supposed to use that first but some say it still uses mobile data sometimes.

My blackberry curve 8520 have a network problem... edge isn't working

Hello sir,
am facing a serious problem with my blackberry curve 8520. My mobile network is based on edge. And since 2 days GSM is shown at the place of edge and if I make a out going call, it shows " the call is Failed" and even messages can't be sent. And I get a incoming calls with out any problem, when I get a incoming cal GSM is changing to EDGE and then I can make a outgoing cal..In order to make a out going cal from my mobile I should receive a incoming cal first to change GSM to EDGE. And some times edge changes to SOS and no network is activated. Please solve my problem.

The first thing I'd do is to get a free SIM card swap from Airtel.

Blackberry Curve 8520 (o2) - No data plan - Using browser purely with wifi?

I have just got a Blackberry curve 8520. I'm on o2.
I haven't got a plan that includes data, so was wondering how I can use my Blackberry internet over wifi.
Under mobile network settings I've disabled data services, so I don't get charged for data without me knowing.
I've also changed my browser configuration to Hotspot browser, and its found my Wireless network okay and saved.
However when I go on browser, It just keeps coming up with unable to connect to the internet.
Am I doing anything wrong?

I dont have a data plan (work phone) and can get internet through wifi, and have done so without any issue.
check 'Menu', 'Manage Connections', Wifi is ticked, with network name in Green
check your using Hotspot Browser, (you did say this, I know). So it definately says Hotspot Browser at the top of the browser when open rather O2 Active (or similar)
I'll keep looking to see if there are any settings I can find which could help

So kindly provide me a proper resolution regarding my query.
I am requesting with warm warm warm regards

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Youtube on Blackberry Curve 8520 only working in 1 certain place.......why???

I can never get youtube to work on my blackberry curve 8520 (orange) except when im at my workplace.
At my work im connected to their wireless network, but im also connected to a wireless newtwork at home yet it doesnt work at home.
It also doesnt work anywhere outside.
Why would it only work in my workplace, something to do with my broadband provider at work? I cant seem to think why that should make a difference?
any help would be great.

It would have been great for you to mention what error you get when trying at home or anywhere outside of your work WIFI. I also have a Curve and I cannot play Youtube on Vodacom, problem is to do with bandwidth allocation by service provider, at work you might have higher bandwidth speed allowing video streaming, check if someone with similar phone on Orange is able to playback Youtube videos. The networks are not willing to release bandwidth for video streaming unless you will be billed extra like some networks do. Hope this solves the issue.
