Help with internet and bbm?!

i'm buying a pay as you go blackberry but im putting a contract sim into the phone, with my contract it doesn't include free internet, can i still use bbm and internet free of charge or what do i do??

Greetings, and welcome to the forums!
You need a BlackBerry data plan in order to use BBM. Contact your carrier to upgrade your current plan if you need bbm.
Hope this helps!

Help with internet and email

Im new to the blackberry phones but got an unlocked storm 9500 from hong kong. i cannot find a web browser at all theres a foreign uc browser under downloads though.. how can i find/get a english web browser?? also i want to receive my emails but it wants a work email account and i dont want one for work just my email how can i fix this?

Hi there,
First of all, are you 100% certain you got a BlackBerry and not just a fake BlackBerry?
If you are certain that you do have a legitimate BlackBerry, then it sounds like the BlackBerry was previously set up on BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) and likely has an IT policy in place. Here are a couple of steps that can help you get up and running.
First off, start by downloading and installing a program called BBSAK to your computer. You can download it from here: http://bbsak.org. Once you have installed it to your computer, open the program, and plug your BlackBerry in. When prompted, enter your BlackBerry password (if you do not have a password installed, just press OK). Then go to the Misc. tab and click on the Factory Reset button. Note: this will wipe everything, including the IT policy off the device. If you have anything you want saved, make sure you perform a backup using the BlackBerry Desktop Software first.
Once the Factory Reset is complete, you will need to re-register the device on the BlackBerry network by going to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Tables, press the BB Menu button and select Register Now. You should then be able to open the Email Settings app and enter your personal email address.
Now then, if that doesn't work, then you need to check with your carrier to ensure that you have a BlackBerry data plan (BIS) on your account. A regular data plan will not work - you need to get a BlackBerry data plan. If you have a BlackBerry data plan, then get your carrier to resend your service books. That should get your browser and BIS email settings to start working.
I hope that helps, but if it doesn't, or if you have further questions, let us know.
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.
If your issue is resolved, don't forget to click the Solution button on the resolution!

Internet and BBM not working what so ever!!! *HELP*

I purchased the blackberry bolt on on friday and the £5.00 was deducted from my balance. My Internet and BBM however never activated or started to work. The signal appears in lower case as "edge" and "gprs". I have contacted o2 and went through all connection settings on the phone. Everything is correct. When i sent a registration message it says "registration message sent" but i never receive a reply. I updated all software and reset the phone completely yet no luck. I also went into o2 and they also are unable to help. I am waiting to hear back from o2 Support but this may take up to 72hours. My o2email tells me my device has been "suspended or deactivated". My brother gave me the blackberry as he use to have a contract on it but he has now upgraded to an iPhone. He has no arrears on the account or bill so there should be no reason for the phone not to connect
can anyone please help me as i have tried everything!!!!!!!!!
My phone is a curve blackberry 8520

Hey weeuna,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If you're receiving lower case edge or gprs that means you only have voice only services and no data. I would suggest removing the battery and placing it back in and if the issue still persists then I suggest trying a new SIM card.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C
SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB
DATA: L_WA(800).
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
ZDBTAB-DATALEN = STRLEN( L_WA ).
MOVE: L_WA to ZDBTAB-RAWDATA.
ZDBTAB-LINENUM = SY-TABIX.
INSERT ZDBTAB.
READING THE DATA FROM DB
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DATA,
             SEQNR type ZDBTAB-LINENUM,
             DATA type ZDBTAB-RAWDATA,
           END OF T_TAB.
Select the data.
SELECT linenum rawdata from ZDBTAB into table T_DATA
     WHERE repid = w_repname
     AND rundate = w_rundate
     ORDER BY linenum.
Populate calling Internal Table.
LOOP AT T-DATA.
APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.

I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Are any new AEBSn working reliably with internet and HD?

Are any new AEBSn working reliably with internet and HD?
Just wondering. Thinking of getting one.
Thanks ... Ken

Perfect from day 1. Easy to set up but I made sure to glance through the DesigningAirPortExtreme802.11nNetworks.pdf that is available online so I had an idea of what to expect before I got started.
I don't have a hard drive hooked up but I did hook up a 512 MB Flash thumb drive to see how it would work. To the base station it is just another drive so it's the same thing as hooking up a regular hard drive. I tested it both formatted as an HFS drive and a FAT drive to see the difference in how it presented the drive.
I also tested the network connectivity in Windows XP using Bootcamp. I tried it both with the default drivers that get installed as part of Bootcamp and with the drivers from the D-Link DWA-645 which uses the same Atheros AR5008 chip set as my MacBook Pro.

Help with Firewall and Internet Sharing

I’m trying to use my Mac Mini with an Airport Extreme card, which is connected to the internet using Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem, for Internet Sharing with a Windows (work) laptop.
So, in the Sharing preferences panel:
Share connection from: Built in Ethernet
To computers using: Airport
I get the warning message:
Other settings may interfere with Internet Sharing.
The ‘More Info’ button gives the popup message:
Your firewall settings will prevent computers sharing your internet connection from browsing the web. Enable Personal Web Sharing in the Services pane to allow computers sharing your connection to browse the web.
I do that, turn the Airport card on, and the laptop can see the network, but can’t connect.
If I turn the Firewall off, then I can connect fine, but then I don’t have a Firewall. Isn’t that risky if I’m using DSL? How can I do the internet sharing and still protect my computer?
I realize I could buy a router with a built-in firewall, but isn’t there a way to set up the system using what I have?

BDAqua wrote:
We just need to figure out what port is needed. I'd goto Sharing>Firewall>New>Port Name... Other, and try Port 53 both UDP and TCP.
Oh, and when you say the PC can't connect, could that just mean it can't browse?
On the PC, put the IP of the Mac in DNS servers, or...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.22
Well, I'm unable to set the DNS server addresses, as this is a work computer and I don't have the administrative privileges.
How bad is it to just turn the Firewall on the Mac off when I want to use the connection?

Problem with internet and mail configuration(From France)

Hey x)
I just got my Blackberry yesterday (I'm from France) with Universal Mobile- Bougues Telecome, forfait bloqué pour BlackBerry.
In that "package" i have SMS/mms ,internet and emails unlimited.
But i can't go to internet , its not working and when I'm trying to configure the mail option in "advanced option" , I don't have any kind of confirmation message.
I tried on the website but I got that error message:
"Cannot create account:
This BlackBerry(R) device is not registered with your wireless service provider.
Please register this device and verify that the URL of the current web site matches
the one provided by your wireless service provider.
To register:
1. In the Application list on your device, click Options, or click Settings Options.
2. Click Advanced Options > Host Routing Table.
3. Click the Menu key and click Register Now.
If the error persists, contact your wireless service provider."
And so as I said, I did that manipulation but I don't have a confirmation when I put "host routing table".
And In the email configuration I just have the professional thing.
Can you please help me ?

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 addtional 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.

Internet and BBM not working at certain times :(

I m on t-mobile network and every now and then instead of saying 't-mobile' at the top of my phone it says 't-mobile and orange' with a small red triangle. My internet normally works fine as well as my BBM and messages send normally, however when this service with the red triangle shows i cant use internet or bbm but messags still send okay??? please can anyone help to solve it as sometimes the triangle signal shows most of the day so i cant use the internet or BBM!!

In those cases you're roaming, it appears so set your Mobile network > Data Services to Data On while roaming, unless you're going to incur extra charges.
sounds like you're in a weak Tmobile signal area at those times.

Internet and bbm not working.

help, my internet,bbm are not working and im not receiving emails, all im able to do is text. i tried taking out the battery and then restarting it but it did not work. any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps:
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > BBKey (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull 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.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your carrier.

Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
BBC iPlayer
Sky Mobile*
YouTube
*I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

About iPlayer.
Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
Mine only works over Wlan.
FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
p.s. Just to be clear. You say "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).

Help with Applescript and Admin Privelages

I just started using Applestript a few months ago and I can't figure out how to give my script Admin rights. Basically, it turns on and off my internet sharing and file sharing through dialog boxes. I copied and pasted the whole code below if you want to test it, but this is the part that is giving me trouble. There are 4 lines similar to this, the actions that turn on or off the services.
do shell script "/bin/launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist" with administrator privileges
I've tried adding "with password _____" and "password_____" but neither worked. Can anyone help me make this script authenticate itself so I don't need to keep typine in my password? I could easily make a keystroke in system events to type it in but it doesn't always ask for it so I don't know how I'd make the script know when it needs to enter the password. any help is much appreciated!
Some things to clarify: The first shell script is there to invoke the "authentication" dialog so I can sign in once I launch the app and get right into the settings. However, I'd like to make it so the script doesn't even need admin permission to run, or make it somehow have my password built in to it. Security is not an issue, its my personal computer that nobody else has access to so I really don't care if my password is written in the code. Also, if you have any tips on how to streamline the Quit/Hide/Resume dialog I'd appreciate that too. Resume is there because there's a chance I won't have to sign in again if the app does not quit, however more often than not I have to sign in anyways. Thanks again in advance, sorry this post is so long but like I said, I'm pretty new to all this so I don't know exactly what you need to be able to help me.
The Whole Script:
-- Variables and Authentication
set done to "n"
set quitapp to "no"
display dialog "Please enter your password to allow Sharing Manager to make changes to your settings." with icon caution

                                        do shell script "/bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist" with administrator privileges
                              end if
                    else
                              set done to ""

          end repeat

          else if the button returned of the result is "Hide" then
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke "h" using command down
                    end tell
          else
                    set done to "n"
                    set quitapp to "no"
          end if
end repeat

with respect to general improvements, a couple of points:
If I'm reading this script correctly, it looks like you're putting up an applescript alert and leaving it hanging until it's dismissed. This is an atypical approach (applescripts aren't really meant to hang around indefinitely waiting for a respons). If I were doing this I would either go whole-hog and create an applescript application in XCode with a proper interface, or remove the hanging dialog and create a set of toggle scripts that I could use from the script menu. if you really want to keep the hanging dialog, though, you can streamline it by absorbing the secondary dialogs into the main dialog. that's like so:
set netSharingStatus to checkService("com.apple.InternetSharing")
set fileSharingStatus to checkService("com.apple.AppleFileServer")
display alert "Current Settings" message "Click to change settings" buttons {"Internet " & netSharingStatus, "File Sharing " & fileSharingStatus, "Exit"} default button 3
-- choose next action based on the button clicked and the status vairable
on checkService(service)
          do shell script "launchctl list"
          if the result contains service then
                    return "On"

using handlers like the above can also streamline the rest of your script. the following construction means you only have to write the do shell script line once, rather than the four times you currently do, and makes for much cleaner reading.
if the button_pressed starts with "Internet" then
          toggleService("com.apple.InternetSharing", netSharingStatus)
else if the button_pressed starts with "File Sharing" then
          toggleService("com.apple.AppleFileServer", fileSharingStatus)
else
--exit routine
end if
on toggleService(service, currentState)
          if currentState in "On" then
                    set action to "unload"
          else
                    set action to "load"
          end if
          set command to "/bin/launchctl " & action & " -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/" & service & ".plist"
          do shell script command user name "adminusername" password "password" with administrator privileges
end toggleService

Help with internet and bbm?!
