Turning off wireless sync

I have been trying to turn off wireless synchronization in my black berry ever since I got it.
When I go to the helpsection in my Blackberry Desktop Software program, it says
1. On you blackberry device, in the calendar application, Contacts application, Tasks application, or Memopad, press the Menu key > Options.
2. If necessary, click a calendar or contact list.
3. Change the wierless synchroization field to NO or clear the wierless synchronization check box.
4. Press the menu key > save.
NONE OF THAT EXIST ON MY BLACKBERRY!
I mean have all the applications but there are NO wireless synchronization check box.
There is NO wierless synchroization field! I can’t find any place where it says wireless synchronization on my blackberry. I can’t synchronize my calendar at all.
This is really horrible, what kind of stupid instructions does blackberry give out?
Has anyone come across this problem and is there a fix for it?
Solved!

'Ello,
I have a BlackBerry Curve 9330 (v6.0.0.524, Platform 4.4.0.438). After installing the desktop manager software and attempting to synch my device with my pc, I received a notification that I must first turn off the wireless synchronization option on my BlackBerry. Okay, cool. But how?
Evidently with a headache. I tried following the directions from Research in Motion. I tried reading the user manual. I tried searching the web. I tried calling BlackBerry's customer service line to get a refund on the past two hours of my life I just wasted. But all of these attempts were in vain. You know why?
Because there is no "Wireless Synchronization" field, that's why.
I don't know how a company manages to give its customers false instructions or no instructions at all. I also don't know how I managed to waste yet another hour of my life on my BlackBerry. But after playing around with my phone, I figured it out. And now I will share with you lovely people!
So, assuming you already set up an e-mail account to be used with your phone, here's how to wirelessly synch your Blackberry Curve 9330 with Blackberry's desktop software:
Go to Messages on your phone. You can get there by either clicking the yellow envelope icon on the top of your screen or going into your apps and then clicking on the envelope icon.
Once you're there, scroll to the top and click on the date.
Click on Full Menu.
Go to Email Account Management (above Spell Check).
Click on your e-mail address.
Click on Edit.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see Synchronization Options. Open it up and uncheck Contacts and Deleted items.
Save.
Viola! After following these steps, I could *finally* sync my BlackBerry with the desktop manager. Hope this helps!

Turn off wireless synchronization - Curve 9360 - Option to turn it off not present

I am attempting to synchronize my BB contacts to Desktop Manager v6 and it is advising that I need to turn off wireless sync. I have reviewed the forum and user manual however, I simply cannot see the option to turn off wireless synchronization. It is not present under the options. Please help! Thank you in advance!

Hello jamison2010 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues synchronizing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone and the BlackBerry® Desktop Software.
You need to check the individual database that is being wirelessly synchronized. For example, if you are trying to do the USB wired sync with your computer and you get the message it is being synchronized wirelessly, you need to go to your BlackBerry Contacts then Menu>Options and select your contact list (most likely your email account).
If it is the Calendar then you go to the Calendar>Menu>Options and select the calendar list (which again, will most likely be your email account).
Hope this answers your question.

Group Policy to disable ability to turn off wireless networking in Windows 8.1 Update

I am wanting to disable the ability to turn off wireless networking in our Windows 8.1 Update clients using Group Policy. We are a school that runs classroom management software enabling the teachers to view what the students have on their screens.
Students just switch off their wireless to avoid detection. I have searched the Group Policy listings and can't find anything.
Thanks.

Hi GeoffAUS,
I can’t find a direct group policy to disable the users’ ability to turn off the wireless network in Windows 8.1.
If we just disable the display of wireless connection, we will need to additionally disable the ability that disabling the driver in device manager.
We could try the workaround to use UAC to control the wireless connection.
Go to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->Security Options, and set the option
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
Please make sure the computer automatically connect to Wireless.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

Turning off Wireless on N8

I got my N8 3days ago. For now I'm very pleased with it and it works really nice and smooth.
Now, my problem is that I don't know how to turn off wireless network, and I mean turn it off completely. I tried everything that crossed my mind by I just can't turn it of. I go to Connections and turn it of, but it starts by itself automatically few seconds later (and I am talking about my home wireless network as well as wireless network in my office). Problem with this is that it drains battery during the time when I actually don't need to use internet at all.
So is there any way that wireless network can be stopped and then resumed when needed ?
I would be really grateful if anyone can help me with that issue.
If I've helped you in any way, a click on the White Star to the left would always be appreciated.

Ok this is the issue. It is a bug in mail app. Mail apps just over rides the settings in your connections settings. The solution is Go to mail - settings - Your account - Synchronization - set fetch frequency for everyday. Then re start your phone. Some times your phone still connects to WiFi but this time when you turn it off in connections it will turn off forever. You may need to do it again and again some times because as i said it is a bug in mail app. ( I assume that the widgets are set to offline mode, and ovi sync settings is auto sync off they may also cause the connection)
It is simply a bug, if i turn off my WiFi in connections that should override all the individual app settings and gain the priority, but there are some apps like mail which gains the priority over the system settings. Hope it will be solved in the next firmware.
I have the same settings from the beggining and the wireless keeps connecting with a specific wireless access point, i have ten access points in my list and this happens only when im in the range of this access point.
My settings are
Mail App Synch: All Days unchecked, 20:00-20:05, None
Widgets in offline mode
No apps set in online mode
WLAN scanning turned off
The problem occured suddelny after adding that access point which is a common Thomson TG585v7 and it's hapening only with that acess point, it's very annoying because i have to change the security settings (like wpa key) to make it go in offline mode. I read in forums that others have also the same problem and the only solution is to move the AP, delete ot change settings.

"Turning Off" Wireless Capabilities

I just installed a wireless network built around the WRT54G2 wireless router. Everything is working fine but I have a question. My primary computer is connected to the router by ethernet cable, so I use the wireless connection capabilities only about 10% of my computing time. I thought I recalled using an earlier model Linksys wireless router at a previous workplace that had a switch which permitted the user to "turn on" or "turn off" wireless connection capabilities. I don't see anything similar on this router. Is there a simple method for disabling wireless connection capabilities, while still keeping the router enabled for my ethernet cable connection? Thanks for the feedback.

Turning off the SSID broadcast does not disable the wireless radio! The radio will still be active. It will still send regularly send out its beacon. It just does not include the SSID in its beacon anymore.
This means: anyone in your proximity (with the right software which is freely available in the internet) is still able to detect that there is a active wireless router even though the name of the network is unknown at first.
However, any wireless communication always includes the SSID of the network. This is always in the unencrypted part of the transmission even if you have wireless security enabled. This means also that anyone in your proximity is able to capture the wireless packets exchanged. A single packet is enough to learn the name of your wireless network.
Once you know the SSID you can try to connect to the wireless router even if it has the SSID broadcast turned off. If you have no or only weak wireless security in place it is easily possible to break into your network through the wireless.
Therefore: unless you have WPA2 or WPA with a strong passphrase set up the SSID broadcast won't really protect your network from access. With WPA2 or WPA enabled turning off the SSID broadcast has little benefits if any. The disabled broadcast causes connection issues with some devices, though.
You can turn off the wireless radio by manually modifying the wireless settings. Change the option for the "Wireless Network Mode" usually set on "Mixed" to "Off". This will power down the wireless radio in the router. This will really turn off the wireless capabilities of the router.

I changed my setting pon my capsule and turned off wireless... Now I can't "find" it again! Any suggestions?

The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
What version TC is it??
What OS are using and what version airport utility?

Desktop turned off but wireless connection stay active?

I have a Linksys WRT54G Broadband Router and have it connnected to my Cable modem thru my desktop. My question is this I thought my deskptop would always need to be on for the wireless connection to stay active but I turned off my desktop and I still have a wireless connection with my laptop. Is this normal? I do not know much at all about networks. If it is normal why did I need to do all the setip stuff on the desktop? Thanks for any info on this.

OK, that makes more sense. It's not going through your desktop at all. So it doesn't matter whether your desktop is turned on or off, or even if you've sold it on eBay.
Well, it doesn't matter until you want to use it. Then it does...

To sync WIRED, need to turn off WIRELESS feature on BB. HOW?

The Desktop Mgr says to turn off the WIRELESS feature on my Curve 8310 in order to sync with my home laptop. On the BB, where is this nonwireless/wireless feature? I'm trying to sync thru the USB port with a cable. Previously this Curve was synched wirelessly to an employer's computer at a job I no longer have.
Solved!

Well you can do one of 2 things:
Go into the database (Calendar, Address Book, etc), hit the menu button, choose Options. From there you can turn the Wireless Synchronization Off. You can leave the settings to Off for each database that you want to synchronize with.
You can follow these steps to remove the IT policy from your phone. This will remove any polices that may still be in effect on your device when it was connected to your company's BES. Doing so will take those wireless synchronization lines off of your phone. http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Remove_IT_Policy

Turn off wireless via Windows 7, not opening Elitebook

I know that you can touch the backlit wireless icon beneath the screen to turn WiFi on/off. However, my notebook is often in a docking station, lid down (since I use a big external screen). Opening the lid causes the screen to flip, so I don't want to open and close the screen just to turn off WiFi. Is there a way to turn off WiFi by navigating to some switching on Windows 7?

Then I suggest that you turn the wireless off before you dock your elitebook.
It is five bars.
This is a Windows 7 Desktop. Left-click on the wireless icon to get this to appear. A right-click will only produce a menu with the troubleshoot and Open Network and Sharing Center options

Turning off wireless adapter

How do I turn the wireless adapter on and off on my Envy H8-1414? It would seem like that should be in a product user maunal but no such manual came with the computer.
Thank you.

Hi:
Below is the link to the support page for your PC.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=5296859&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&task=&lang=en&cc=us
There is a manuals link on the right side of the page.
I didn't read through all of the manuals, but I didn't see any info on how to turn the wireless adapter on or off.
Normally there is a tiny button on the front of the case which turns the wireless on or off.

Turn off wireless Syncing for Contacts

Blackberry Desktop software will not sync, (via Outlook 2010) claiming that the wireless tab is activated for the Contacts on my blackberry 9700. This has been turned off, phone restarted via a cold restart, yet I still cannot sync the contacts. All other syncs, calendar, Memo, Tasks sync fine.

I have a 9800 and I was trying to sync my contacts and I had the exact same problem. It was really frustrating but I finally figured it out. I don't know all the details.. I just know how it worked for me. From the homescreen click contacts. Once contacts is open, hit the menu button and click options. Contacts Options will pop up and for me there were 3 options at the top ( Contact Display and Actions, Recent Activites, and AT&T Address Book) then a gray divider line that says "Contact Lists". Under that divider line was my personal email address. I clicked my personal email address and a second window pops up that has THE CHECKBOX.. the one the instructions refer to (THE needle in the haystack). I unchecked that box and magically in desktop manager, after hitting the "configure settings button" it worked. Hope this helps! believe me i know how frustrating it is. The instructions in desktop manager should be more precise!

E3000 questions. Cisco Connect with https and turn off wireless?

My old router died this weekend after 10 years and I have been wanting to get a faster router for a while anyways.
I picked up a E3000 and set it up yesterday.
The firmware is 1.0.03
I have two main questions
I changed the router settings so you can only browser manage the router through https and turned off http access to the router.
Cisco Connect now doesn't work. Will Cisco Connect work with HTTPS? Do I have to do something to get it to work?
I also didn't see a version number on Cisco Connect am I just not noticing it?
I'd really like to shut off wireless on most days when I'm not home. I want the router to still be working since my desktop computers are directly connected to the router and I remote into them. Is there an easy way to shutoff the wireless and then easily turn it back on when I get home?
thanks
mike

Mine works the same. It's probably designed that way for the manual way of logging into the setup page of the router.
No, it seems no updates yet or see the need to have one.
No, it doesn't have that option unfortunately.

S400 unable to turn off wireless

Hi , I am unable to turn off or on wifi/bluetooth with the f7 key(alternatiely the wireless key). wifi and bluetooth are enabled always whch i feel is power consuming when not required. the key seems to be unusable.
netbook config is :
i3, 2gb ram, atheos ar9285 wireless lan adapter, atheos ar3011 bluetooth adapter
i have installed both the wireless drivers from lenovo support.
what should i do to correct this.

hi Pravinrajpaul,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're running Windows 8, pressing the Airplane Mode (F7) turns OFF both the Wireless and Bluetooth radio. If you want to turn off just the Blueooth though, you will need to do it manually by:
1. Opening Device Manager (press Win Key+X > choose Device Manager)
2. Expand Bluetooth Radios then right click > disable the blueooth adapter.
3. For the wireless, choose Network Adapters under Device Manager and right click > disable the wireless module or boot into the BIOS by pressing the One Key Recovery button and under the Configuration Tab, set Wireless LAN Support to Disabled.
Hope this helps.
