The function has two prerequisites:
You be on an adequate OS level
You be on a data plan, from your carrier, that is adequate to enable the HotSpot function
Good luck!

Enabling My Curve 9300 as a Mobile Hotspot - Is This Possible?

I have just bought a Microsoft Surface table. This does not have a 3G option. One thought is to access 3g via my Blackberry Curve 9300. Many mobiles can be enabled as a hotspot. Is this possible with the 9300?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please refer to this KB:
KB31857 How to setup and manage a Mobile Hotspot Connection
As you see, it's not your BB model number that matters, but rather your BB OS level, your data plan from your carrier (not all allow such), as well as any impact from BES (if you are on such).

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.

3. Frequent Mobile restart - while in phone calls, after phone call disconnect, while opening mails, opening msg.
And I dont have any other application or software. other than Whatsapp, Facebook, twitter (occasionaly only will use) and ucbrowser.

Did you perform a hard reset yet?
Perform a Hard Reset
A hard reset is similar to restarting a computer that stops responding. A hard reset closes all running BlackBerry applications, restarts the BlackBerry smartphone operating system, and restarts the hardware components of the BlackBerry smartphone, including the wireless transceiver. A hard reset does not delete any settings or data on the BlackBerry smartphone.
To perform a hard reset, complete the following steps:
Turn the BlackBerry smartphone off.
Remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery.
Wait for the BlackBerry smartphone to turn on.

Curve 9380 - pulled?

Was the Curve 9380 just pulled from the market? (or just my carrier handing me a line?)
I have been trying to get this phone. My carrier thought they had one, turns out that one was cracked on the battery cover so they couldn't give it to me. They tried to order another one, & were told it was pulled from the market.
What is with that? Blackberry finally comes out with a competative,phone for the average person, & wham-o they pull it.
Makes it difficult to support this Canadian product.
If this has been pulled, will there be a replacement? I've been looking for a Blackberry, all-touch screen front (no keypad), with wi-fi (not requiring the data plan). Difficult to get! The Touch all touch, required the data plan.

Thanks for that info., much appreciated. That would explain it. My carrier is Bell.
My contract runs out this yr. As of last week, Telus was able to get one in for me ... if that is still the case when my contract is up, I plan to switch to Telus. It's an awesome phone for my needs.. I seriously hope Bell brings it back!
I have to wonder if the ability to use wifi on this phone, thus; having a regular mobile contract w/o data plan, is a reason they dropped the phone. They wouldn't make as much money on it. Which is too bad because if they put the phone out there, a lot of people will eventually go for the data plan even if they don't take it, at first. In the long run, it would be good.
I have been trying for mths to go Blackberry but it just isn't working in my favoure. I want a touch front (same as the 9380), & no data plan (use wifi). This is the first touch front, that had wifi & didn't require a data plan. No one wants to sell that sort of package anymore (without data). Too bad... but I just can't put $50 or $80 or $100 or more per mth., into a phone plan which is what a data plan would cost me.
bummer

Windows 7 unable to connect to mobile hotspot after last patch

Hi,
I recently re-installed the Windows 7 on my laptop. I applied a lot of patches.
I have two phones: one blackberry curve and an android Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Since yesterday I was able to start the tethering on the smartphone and activate the mobile hotspot. Windows 7 was able to connect to the mobile hotspot without any problem.
Yesterday evening I applied the last patches and this morning I restarted the PC to applied them.
Now Windows is not more able to connect to any mobile hotspot. However, is still able to connect to a standard Cisco WiFi network.
Does anybody have any idea why?
Thanks

Since issue only occurred after you installed the last patches, in addition to the wifi driver, I also suggest you uninstall the latest patches for a test, seems something conflits with them, what is the result?
Regards
Yolanda

My Blackberry Curve 9380's screen won't turn on!

My Blackberry Curve 9380's display screen won't turn on! The flashing red light still appears so I guess I am still able to receive texts. I can also receive calls; my ring tone goes off but I cannot answer! I have to unlock it and I can't do anything on a touch screen that's virtually useless now. I've done so many battery pulls yet it doesn't work.
I did drop it but it wasn't very hard. My bb fell when it was in my rubber case and the fall was around knee length (I am very short only 5'0). My friend said its possible that the backlight broke. If it is true, how much does it cost to repair it? My warranty expired a few weeks ago...
My friend also said there could be something else wrong with it. Like a downloaded an app that had a corrupt file (this has happened to me before and the phrase "Uncaught exception java.lang.error" kept popping up every time I did a battery pull) or a programming error. I tried Jl_Cmder and I've done reset to factory. I've even tried to wipe everything completely. "The device will reboot to a white screen with a '507' error" this didn't happen... It did reboot but nothing can be seen. I regret it deeply ...
I'm sorry this is so long but please can someone help me? ):

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. Even though it's out of warranty, you should check first with your mobile provider for a repair estimate.
Sorry!

Connecting c309a to a wireless network, the printer does not find my mobile hotspot connection.

I switched to a mobile hotspot w/verizon. I had set up my computers (2) just fine the first time. I had to exchange the hotspot. I was told by my computer to insert a flashdrive and transfer my network settings to the printer and other computer. After inserting the flashdrive into my photosmart c309a printer, it flashed "turn off and on" I did, then the printer had lost the network settings menu altogether! I took it to bestbuy to be looked over and was told they were able to get my network menu back but it was still unable to register a wireless connection?? I'm not sure what to do now?

Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes. There is what I believe to be a similar situation here in the states with ATT 2Wire routers. This is a cut and paste from instructions on how to fix that. Try it and see if it works.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the device.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
- Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO USB cable connection to Mac

I am trying to connect a Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO via USB cable to my Macbook and iMac. I can see it in the System Information, but it does not show up in the Devices in Finder. Is there a driver that I need? Does it exist (yet)?

So I was able to get USB tethering to work, but I still can't connect to the hotspot as a media device (and view what is on my microSD card and/or the device).
Here's how I got USB tethering to work: I plugged into my laptop running Linux, where both USB tethering and mounting as a media device work fine, found the Mac OS driver on the device, copied it over to my Macbook, installed, rebooted, wirelessly connected to the hotspot, configured for USB tethering, went to Open Network Preferences..., connected to "SAMSUNG Mobile Device". I did all this after talking to Samsung on the phone, where they told me the driver does not exist yet....

"No Internet Access" on connected device with mobile hotspot

I've been on Verizon for 2 weeks. Note II on a Family Share Plan with lots of data. Using the built-in Verizon Mobile Hotspot application. Connecting from my work laptop, which is Windows 7.
Set it up and everything worked fine for a week and a half. I had no problems connecting or accessing the internet from my laptop. It worked fine Monday morning. Monday afternoon my laptop started giving me the warning message "No Internet Access" when connecting to the phone's hotspot. I'm in a 4g area where the hotspot has worked previously. I've tried several times in several different 4g locations as time allowed over the last 2 days, and I have not been able to get to the internet on my connected laptop again.
While connected to the mobile hotspot I ran Windows troubleshooter and it tells me that there is no DHCP server available, and that the default gateway for this network is unreachable. My laptop has no problems reaching the internet via the wireless network at work or at home. The laptop connects to both of those wireless networks every day (both before and since this problem appeared.)
I have rebooted both the phone and the laptop, with no change in the problem results. I renamed the hotspot, and connected to the "new" hotspot from my laptop, with no change in the problem results. I have tried running "ipconfig /renew" from my laptop while connected, and that is when it tells me that it cannot find a DHCP server for this network.
What broke? How can I fix it?
I'm still in the 100% refund return period on my contract and phones (for another day or so.) This is an absolute deal-killer. Hotspot on my phone is the single reason why I switched networks.
* Revised 2/28:
This morning I turned on the mobile hotspot feature on my wife's Galaxy S3 (on the same Verizon Family Share Plan.) Then I connected to it from my laptop. When it connected it said "limited internet access" for about 30 seconds, and then that warning went away and I had full access. I surfed for a moment to confirm, and all was working. I turned off the GS3 hotspot and turned on the hotspot on my Note II. When I connected to the Note II's hotspot from my laptop I still had no internet access. I left it for 3-4 minutes, and it never switched on. I tried surfing and got only error messages in my browser.
All of this was while sitting at my desk. So I believe I have ruled out the laptop as a cause for this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Randy

After I posted the above in February I talked to Verizon support. They could not resolve the problem. They replaced the phone, and the new phone has worked for months. My work schedule changed a bit, and so I started using the hotspot less often.
Last week I noticed that after I connected my laptop I had a longer delay before it would change from "No Internet Access" to giving me access. Yesterday morning it was so slow that I got the command prompt up on my laptop and determined that from the laptop's perspective the problem was that there was no DHCP server available through the hotspot network. That morning it did eventually find the DHCP server and issue my laptop an IP address, and let me connect.
Yesterday afternoon the DHCP server never appeared, and I was not able to connect to the internet. Same thing this morning. I rebooted both the phone and the laptop. No change. The laptop connects to other wireless networks just fine, still. This worked for months. Why did it slow down connecting and then stop? I'm guessing there must be some sort of buffer that has filled up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Verizon iPhone - mobile hotspot and other questions about the data options

I just ordered the Verizon iPhone. Can anyone explain the options here:
1) Unlimited corporate email & Web (business and personal email) vs. Unlimited email and web for smartphones (personal email) - what's the difference?
2) "3G Mobile Hotspot 2GB" - does this mean that there's no way I can share my 3G connection via wifi without paying the extra $20/month?? How about tethering to a single computer (USB, BT, or WiFi) - does that also require this extra option?
3) equipment protection - what's the difference between Extended Warranty, Asurion Wireless Phone Protection, and Total Equipment Coverage?
thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi
Regarding your #2 question; yes, you must pay $20/mo to use the 3G Hotspot aspect of the iPhone, same as with any of Verizon's phones that offer this feature such as the Droid X, HTC phones, etc. And, there is NO additional charge to tether it to your computer; it's $20/mo regardless. You can still use the iPhone's WiFi feature to search the web which is part of the regular data plan. We're only talking about paying the $20/mo for the "up to 5 devices" jumping on your phone as a hot spot.
I'm an Apple fan, have my MacBook Pro, but my phone is a Droid X. I've been a Verizon member since a year before they became Verizon. Additionally, I am part of the Verizon & Motorola test forum; testing new software updates as they come along.
Something you should know about Verizon's 3G Hot Spot feature; it has issues. Those of us in the Motorola & HTC forums have experienced identical issues with regard to the 3G Hot Spot feature; it disconnects every 2 minutes, even when you are actively surfing the net. Verizon & Motorola Support have been very helpful to provide what they believe are fixes, including: changing the channel, hard resets, clearing cache, etc. It does not work. Most of us believe, this is NOT a Verizon issue, but a phone maker issue.
I also have Verizon's MiFi 2200. It costs $59/mo and is purely a hot spot device; again up to 5 devices. I use it at home, for my lap top and for those who need connectivity. It outperforms the 3G hot spot feature of the Motorola & HTC phones by leaps & bounds, and I suspect it will out perform the 3G hot spot feature on the iPhone. Additionally, you get 5GB of download with the MiFi which Verizon is planning on offering increases to 8GB & 10GB. There is NO plan to increase the 2GB download limitation on the 3G Hot spot of the iPhone & other phones, and anyone who does basic software downloads & pics, knows 2GBS is not a lot space.
So, I would recommend not paying the $20 until this is resolved. If you do, you could pay $39 more for a total of $59/mo for the MiFi, download the software to you home computer & notebook, and end up canceling your home internet service. I did this and have saved $70/mo in my total utilities.
One other important note: Verizon's VZManager Software for their phones & MiFi. If you did pay the $20/mo for the iPhone and decided to tether to your USB port (for power while using) and you were to use the 3G hot spot feature, it will NOT work on 64 Bit computers, regardless if you are using the WiFi feature or directly using VZManager. The MiFi has this same issue. It will only work on 32 Bit when tethered. So, you'd have to reboot your computer to 32 Bit, if you have that ability. On a Macbook Pro, simply restart holding down the "3" & "2" keys.
I have no idea why Verizon can't simply upgrade the firmware, even recent firmware upgrades have not resolved this. Most new computers are 64 Bit now.
Despite this, I use my MiFi 100% untethered and carry my charge cord in my bag as it also works on my Droid, and I presume they may do the same for the iPhone; reduces the need for multiple power cords.
I really looked forward to the 3G feature of the Motorola & HTC phones, but honestly, it's just not there yet; mine was slower than Dial Up, and I'm not kidding.

My mobile hotspot no longer works since I upgraded to mountain lion. What happened and how do I get it back?

My mobile hotspot (Samsung Note II) no longer works since I upgraded to mountain lion (running on MacBook Pro) What happened and how do I get it back? "

Please someone help me with this - I do a lot of travelling and use my hotspot!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
