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.

How to Turn off wireless synchronization in Curve 9360

Hello
I have a Blackberry 9360 and I do not know how to turn off the wireless sync. I tried to follow the instruction given in the desktop manager help but it didnt match with my device. Your help is much appreciated.

Sorry, my bad. the wireless syncronization settings for Contacts, Calendars, Tasks and Memos can be found in Organizer on the left panel of the Blackberry Desktop Software.

Anyone NOT seeing a "turn off wireless synchronization" option when accessing through Address Menu Options?

Wireless synching is preventing calendar from synching through laptop [wouldn't mind except that the wireless synching isn't so the calendar is empty]. All instructions assume that there's an optiont to turn this off under the app Menu and Options...I don't...and see that others have had the same problem just not sure of the fix. Have a Curve 9300 and BB 6.0.0. Bundle 2391. Annoyed...shouldn't be this difficult!

Hey djbmcmur,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you have a Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail account currently setup on the BlackBerry? You can look under Options>Advanced Options>Service Book for anything that says - EMAIL (SYNC). If you have any of these, it means you have wireless sync available. You can delete these service books.

Curve 9360 unable to turn on wifi

Whenever i try turning on my wifi, the little box just goes gray for a while, and then goes back to normal. So whenever i go under manage connections and i try turning it on it says "unable to turn on wifif". If you click troubleshoot and click on wifi diagnostics, under blackberry infrastructure the connecting box has an red x in it. If i view it it says "connecting: error". It seems to have started after i updated something and the restarted my phone. I dont know if that has anything to do with it but anyways if anyone could help me i would greatly appreciate it !

OK...then we cannot target the specific cause and must instead do the most drastic things.
First step, get a good full backup of your BB:
1) If you are on less than BBM7, backup your BBM Contacts to Device or Media Card Memory
KB20554 How to back up and restore the BlackBerry Messenger contact list
2) Via Mass Storage Mode, copy the entire contents of your Device and Media Card Memory to your computer
KB11879 What is mass storage mode
3) Take a full backup of your BB to your computer via the Desktop Software
KB12487 How to back up BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows
Make sure you have a good separate inventory of all of your add-on apps...most especially those you obtain from other than AppWorld. If you only obtain apps from AppWorld, then you should be OK as it will help you reinstall them later, including those you purchased. But, for non-AppWorld, you need to check those vendors out as to what you have to do in order to reacquire and reactivate your apps from them.
Further, make sure you 100% know your current BB ID credentials (both the UserID and the Password)...you will need them.
Now, perform a Device WIPE:
KB14058 How to delete all data and applications from the BlackBerry smartphone using the Security Wipe option
KB16307 Actions performed by the BlackBerry smartphone during the removal of stored user and application data
After it reboots, it will likely make you do a few things, including re-associate to a BB ID...be sure to use the EXACT same BB ID credentials that you originally associated to that BB. As soon as you are done with all of the things it makes you do, immediately proceed to trying the WiFi. Before bothering with anything else, we need to know if this worked or not.
If it did not work, then stop now and let me know...
If it did work, then proceed with this:
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull 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.
Now proceed to restore from the backup you took:
KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file
Now check the contents of your Device and Media Card Memory areas...if they are not fully populated as you recall, use what you copied to your computer to put back anything to the BB.
Now restore your BBM Contacts, as per the KB way above.
Now reinstall your apps from AppWorld as well as other locations that you may have obtained apps from (that inventory you took up top).
Good luck!

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!
Go to Solution.

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

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!
Go to Solution.

'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!

Blackberry Curve 9360: How to fully turn off?

I have recently got a Blackberry Curve 9360 running on O2 UK and the latest update of OS 7 and love it, but want to turn it off over night without setting times for it to turn off and on. I have looked at many posts on forums and want to fully turn it off, as when i click the 'power off' icon or hold down the end key, it just goes into standby. when i set an alarm, it gives me the option to 'turn off' or 'full power off' but they both do the same thing. a battery pull does NOT work as it just turns on again straight away. Help me please!
thanks,

Ok, I've read what you said.
If you press and HOLD the "end call" key, far right of the trackpad, hold it for about 5-6 seconds, you should get TWO choices, power off and Full power off.

I cannot turn off the wireless synchronization on my Blackberry 8300 device. Please help!

I have tried and tried everything I can think of. I have read many posts on this topic already and nothing is helping. Does anyone know how to do this?   I have gone to the address book, then option, but there is nothing that says wireless synchronization. Even my device, when I searched on it, tells me to do this, but it's not there.   I am wanting to be able to see my address book on my desktop but I cannot do this without turning this off. Thank you for your help.

ok, IF you have all your data up-to-date in Outlook, I will recommend deleting your BB Address Database and re-syncing with Outlook. But you must first have Outlook completely up to date. See below:
(ignore the mention of the calendar below... this just works the same way)
If you are having errors in your Calendar or Address Book on your BlackBerry, and you wish to delete the entire Calendar (or Address Book) database on your BlackBerry, follow the directions below. Make certain you have a good copy of your Calendar or Contacts elsewhere, as this procedure will complete delete ALL Calendar entries and/or Address Book entries on your BlackBerry.
1. Open Desktop Manager on your PC.
2. Open up Backup/Restore > Advanced.
3. From Advanced you'll see a split pane screen. The left pain is what is going to be backed up from your device and the right is a list of the currently existing databases.
3. Highlight on the right side your Address Book database (or your Calendar database) and click the arrow in the middle pointing to the left. This will copy the information over and prepare it for back-up.
4. Once the back-up has completed, hit the Clear button at the bottom to erase and clean out the entire address book database (or Calendar database).
5. After it's finished, it will ask you if you want to save the back-up you've created, say yes and check the device to make sure the address book (or calendar) has been properly cleared out. Now, resync the necessary contact information and you should be set to go.

Turning off Wireless connection for WRT160N

I have just setup the WRT160N and am using it primarily as a wired router for my home network.
I am not wanting to use the wireless networking and am wanting to turn it off due to concerns for my Children's health.
How do I ensure that the wireless component is not active, whilst still being able to use the wired connection.
Thanks

Its under basic wireless settings.. Maybe you can see two options that says "Manual" and "Wi-fi Protected Set up".. If you do, click on Manual then you will be able to see the Network Mode which is the first options under Manual..

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

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.

Can't turn on/off wireless with Fn key in Ubuntu [NB250-10Q]

Hi,
I'm using a *NB250-10Q* with kUbuntu 10.10. It works great, but i'm having problems with Fn-F8 key to turn on/off wireless.
Some Fn keys are working well, like bridhtnes, sound... but Fn-F8 to turn on/off wireless is ignored.
I've read a lot about this problem, but none of the proposed solutions have worked to me.
Is anyone able to turn on/off wireless through Fn keys in linux?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Problem in the whole story is that your notebook was not designed for Linux and, as far as I know, Ubuntu is not supported OS so Toshiba doesnt offer any driver or Toshiba tools and utilities.
Generally speaking you are on your own. If Ubuntu works well, you are lucky but if there is some missing functionality, Im afraid you must live with it.
For Win7 Toshiba has designed Value added package that contains button support utility, flash cards and all FN options will be controlled by several different tools packed in this package.
Such VAP doesnt exist for Linux.
Try to ask some Linux specialists on Linux forums if there is some solution for this.

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.
