Blackberry curves WiFi facebook twitter whatsapp :(

I have a blackberry curve 8520, I manage to go on internet with it but only some sites (google, blogs...ect.)
But I can't go on any kind of social network (facebook., twitter, whatsapp, hotmail ...ect).
I have no credit on my sim card but I am on WiFi i shouldn't have to use credits !
I DON'T UNDERSTAND !

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you are attempting to use the apps for some of those, then those apps require you to have a proper data plan from your provider, even if the method of connection is via WiFi.
If you are attempting to use the web browser and have the ability to configure it for HotSpot usage (rather than pure BB Browser), then it should actually work. But, to be sure, what you should to is install a different browser -- Opera Mini works great, and will not require any data plan (it can work purely via WiFi). The native BB Browser is more complicated, and can at times not function correctly without a proper data plan in place, even if you are only using it via WiFi.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Curve and Facebook issues

I'm sure I'm not the only one...but I've finally decided to come here to see if anyone has an answer or solution to this problem.
I will post something via computer to my facebook page and then when I'm away from my computer I might get a response to a posting. I will then use my blackberry curve to send a response. Most of the time it works just fine...but there are times (these are the ones I'm trying to figure what's going on and what the solution is) where the response I send goes through just fine but once it hits facebook two issues happen:
1. This appears on my message on Facebook Ô when this happens it splits up the message into two seperate messages. I only see this on line.
2. when I view my Facebook page on my phone I get this message "Error encounterd during XML parse: Invalid character '&#x5' encountered. This pertty much prevents me from going any further down that particular posting on Facebook when looking on my phone.
What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Blackberry Apps like Facebook and Whatsapp don't work over wifi, what should I do?

My BB AT&T 9810 does not works over with wi-fi only browser or youtube, I don't use Services Plans, but the bb is supposed to work even only with wifi, apps only work shortly after a restart and longer if I do a Battery pull.

If I recall correctly, open your Browser > Options > and set the browser to a hotspot browser for it work over WIFi only.

Blackberry Curve 8330 (Facebook Push Notification Settings) Please Help

I have a BB Curve 8330. I received a warranty replacment two days ago. I installed the Facebook application and I am not receiving push notifications to the Facebook App on the Blackberry.
The thing is, I used to receive push notifications to the FB App on my original 8330 Phone. I looked at all my Settings on Facebook.com, And Installed Facebook App for Blackberry.
Could anyone please help me out? My Friend has a BOLD and he was receiving notifications instantly to his Facebook App on his BB Bold, while I was not. And we even compared settings and they matched, I am getting e-mail notifications to my account so I am receiving the notifications, just not thru the Facebook App on the phone......what gives?
I did a Hard reset, and reinstalled my Facebook Application to the phone.
HELP Please!
I figured it out. The email address associated with my facebook was not setup on the Blackberry. Facebook e-mails my acocunt then that pushes to the Facebook App on the Phone.

Switch b/w edge and GSM on Blackberry Curve 9380

Hey few days back I bought Blackberry Curve 9380. Basically I'm new to Blackberry Universe.
Generally when I'm at home, I prefer to use GSM only coz I have Wi-Fi. But when I swtich off data usage, connect to Wi-Fi, the Browser and other internet applications say that they are unable to internet.
Also guide me how to switch b/w GSM & edge network...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First Your need BIS - Blackberry Internet Serives subscription from Vodafone IN, this is the unique feature which seperates other mobile devices from Blackberry.
Browser, Facebook,twitter and all other apps require BIS subscription. Only appworld will work in Wi-Fi mode.
You can change the Browser settings to Hotspot to work in wifi, but i think in OS 7 it will detect automatically.
if you have BIS subscription 3G is free.

Blackberry curve 9300 connected to wifi but cannot use apps only bb browser

hi guys im new here and its my first time to use blackberry unfortunately for me im very disappointed.. im already connected to wifi but cannot use any application like facebook,twitter,badoo etc.. i didnt try my bb messanger yet but im sure it wont connect as well.. Even my BB app world giving me error message "we cannot connect you to the app world please ensure that your device is connected to a wireless network and try again" what the???? im already connected to a wifi.. and the weirdest thing is that i can browse the internet using the bb browser and watch videos on youtube on the youtube app installed already to the phone.. but again the apps that i installed is not connected..
So what i notice the simple rebooting of the phone wont work i need to remove the battery and wait the phone to load then i can connect to app world but after few minutes... it will give the error message again..
Now im thinking to swap this phone and get another brand if this problem wont be solve whats the use of apps if i cant use it??! i already called my network provider and they told me i need to purchase package for data.. are you kidding me??! i got wifi why should i pay for data!
im sorry for the long message but im so disappointed and wants to solve this issue asap .. thanks..
my phone software:
v 6.0 bundle 2475 (v6.0.0.546)

Hello,
thank you for your message and sorry for the problems you have with your BB.
Have you checked your Firewall Settings and Application Settings, to make sure, that all apps have access to the internet and are not blocked? Also do you use the phone on BIS or BES, meaning do you use it personally or are you connected to a corporate enterprise server? In the last case, their might be restrictions from your server administrator.
I would try to go through all that and see if it works afterwards. Also go and check the application settings to make sure everything is correctly set up there.
The other thing I would look into is your router. Have you restarted your WiFi router as well? Checked on the Firewall there and everything?
As for the datapackage: There are several people here on the forums, complaining, that WiFi does not have priority over mobile data. This means, that if you have a dataplan and activate WiFi, you would still browse using your dataplan and not WiFi, unless you a) either turn off your mobile data connection, which makes you unreachable for calls, sms, etc. or b) if you are a prepaid user, wait until your balance is depleted, in which case the mobile data won't work anymore and you will connect through WiFi.
This is however different and should not affect you. Since you do not have a dataplan (at least that is what I understand from your posting), there is no dataplan to use and hence WiFi would have priority for connection with the net, since it is the only available source.
I would give it a bet, that it has something to do with your phones settings in any way, or with the router itself (though this is probably unlikely).
You can check your firewall settings by doing the following: Browse to your Settings Application or hit Options within any app. Go to advanced settings, check your security settings. You may also want to check your phones WiFi settings, by opening the connections app and open the WiFi configuration.
Hope that helps, sincerely,
Ben

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Let's start with the emails. What method did you configure for email? BIS, BES, Desktop Redirector?

How can I get my blackberry curve 8900 to update to 5.0 and get wifi to work?

I bought a blackberry curve 8900 around a year ago on an AT&T plan back when data plans werent required, so it just has minutes and texting. because of an issue i had with data before, i have data disabled completely on my account to prevent any mistaken data being used up and charging me. my AT&T contract recently expired so i called them up and got my blackberry unlocked, and will be soon switching to tmobile.
My problem is that it refuses to update past 4.6 over to 5.0 because of some restriction on it placed by AT&T, and my wifi wont work unless i have data enabled for the same reason. Is there anything i can do? I've tried installing 5.0 from different service providers onto my phone but it never installs properly.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While you can (with just a trick or two) use any carriers OS package for your specific model number, it won't do any good since all 5.0 level OS's require a data plan, regardless of which carrier. So, without that, you can't update to 5.0. Further, it is the data plan that activates BIS -- which is what is used to run the BlackBerry Browser...hence that non-functionality also. Basically, a BB without a data plan is, to many, pretty useless.
There are other browsers that bypass BIS and will use a generic data plan (assuming you have that)...OperaMini and Bolt come to mind. You might give those a try.
Good luck!

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.

Blackberry Curve - emails - wifi

Please can you assist. I have a blackberry curve with I use in Ireland and is set up to accept all my emails etc and works fine. Currently i am in the Middle East and have to switch off "data" and switch off "roaming", as my last visit cost €800.00 for 2 weeks!!. How do i set up the phone to use the free WIFI at my apartment and not have the data / roaming switched on?

Apologies, but I am not a technical person. You are saying to switch roaming off and leave data on. This will not cost a fortune and will only download when it has a wifi network available, and not use my carrier from home?
sorry for the questions, but due to the large bill the last time, i dont want to repeat same.
