Using the Bold 9650 on WIFI

In my gym, where I have no Verizon connection, I can connect easily to WIFI. The problem is that once I do that I have no idea how to surf the web using the WIFI instead defaulting to the non-existant Verizon service.

Hi, all,
Just got my Bold 9650 yesterday and here's what I have learned so far about the WiFi.  First, I have found it easy to go to Manage Connections and turn off the Mobile Network and then configure the WiFi.  For protected routers, go to Set up Wifi connection.  Click Manually add Network.  Type the name of the unique SSID network name, remember it is case sensitive.  Next, check the type of security used.  Then, type the key for the password, as in my example, I use WEP security, so I have to type the long string of letters and numbers.  Then click connect or save to save the connection.  Then, you should be able to connect to your WiFi.  Now click to enable WiFi and you should connect.  If connecting to a hotspot with no passwords, you should just be able to scan for a network and select that public access point.  The WiFi symbol on your homescreen should now be white instead of greyed out.  I hope this helps.

  • Camera software in the BOLD 9650

    I have absolutely worn out the BOLD 9650 I've carried for years. The software in this phone is what I love about it. It is only 3.2 MP but the macra and stabilization have stunned me and I cannot find anything or information about the newer versions that make me want another phone. 
    What was used in this particular release and is it available in a newer release? I have been sales talked until I'm tired of hearing the pitch. Nothing I have been shown comes close in this size phone.
    Thanks,
    Tony B

  • I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to fix these

    I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
    If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
    the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
    That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

  • Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    That depends on what you mean by "use".
    Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
    However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

  • Can i use the bridge outside my wifi connecion?

  • Any way to use the iPhone on a WiFi network that requires me to..

    1. Enter both username and password
    2. Download a specific digital certificate before connecting
    Can the iPhone do this? All the WiFi networks on colleges and universities here in Norway use the same login and password with a specific digital certificate.

    OK, so your old iTunes library was on your PC and now the library is on your Mac?  Do I have that right?  Your iPhone and iPad were auto syncing to the PC and now you connect them to your Mac and it wants to clear out the media?
    This is important, do you have in your iTunes library on your new Mac, the media you want now?  Or are you trying to move your media by copying what is on the iPhone/iPad to your iTunes?

  • How can i use the ipad in uruguay wifi

  • Why cant i use the internet if my wifi says it has a strong signal

    my wifi at home is connected to my ipad and it shows a strong signal, but it wont work for any apps that need internet or the web browser. how can i fix this promblem ive tried reseting the network settings and that worked for like a minute and now im having the same problem

    You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • EVDO on Bold 9650

    I want to access an EVDO network to use the Bold 9650 as a modem for my laptop. But the phone always defaults to the 3g network. How can I temporarily disable 3g on the Bold when I want to use it as an EVDO modem?

    Check setting then try to access the application. Go into Options -> Advanced Options -> GPS, GPS Services can be changed to either "E911 Only" or "Location On".
    Options->Advanced Options->GPS-> Location On & Enabled

  • WiFi specs for Blackberry Bold 9650

    I have a BB Bold 9650 WITHOUT camera because I work on a military base. Recently, we've been told that WiFi devices are also not allowed.
    The following is the guidance we've received:
    What is NOT permitted:
    Any device with a camera and/or 802.11 or any WiFi capability.
    What IS permitted:
    Blackberries, Bluetooth devices and cell phones with no camera and with no WiFi capability (such as Govt-issued devices) that use cellular technology like 2G, 3G or 4G.
    I'm so confused as to what technology my phone uses. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks, Laurie

    The Bold 9650 WiFi specs are as follows which means it is not permitted per your information. (from the Blackberry website)
    Bold 9650
    WiFi information
    802.11 b / g 
    I would recommend the Blackberry Tour which was the predecessor to the Bold 9650 phone based on your information. 
    This model does not have WiFi capability and was also available in a non-camera version  The Tour is still available on the website as a Certified Pre-Owned model.  Although I did not see see the non-camera version listed I would call Customer Service to see if they have any non-camera models in stock for sale.
    FYI: Both the Tour and Bold are 2G/3G cellular smart phones.
    Good luck

  • Bold 9650 is the WORST phone I have ever had!!! :-(

    OK... I "upgraded" my phone to the Bold 9650 when it just came out earlier this year, wanting the latest and greatest. I have been an extremely loyal BlackBerry user for more than a decade. In fact, one BlackBerry I had a while back went a year-and-a-half without crashing, freezing, nor giving me any trouble whatsoever. Now, unfortunately, with my bold 9650, I'm lucky of I can go an HOUR-and-a-half without some sort of freeze or crash, and often the only way to get back on track is to pull the battery and restart. Several. Times. Each. Day. And I get REALLY tired of seeing the spinning icon showing me that BlackBery is doing something on its own, but I cannot do a thing with it. Can't move the thumbwheel. Can't enter any text. Can't even shut the phone off!!!
    Am I alone, or are others out there experiencing the same problems? I'm about to abandon the Bold 9650 and get something else. What is a good replacedment for it?
    Thank you.

    Thanks to SuzyQ for your input. Hi OEMMaster, How much memory is on your device? It could be low memory causing your device to freeze. Please try cleaning the memory to free up some space and resources. If your memory cleaning feature is not turned, please use the steps below to enable this feature with helping to avoid low memory.  I'm providing steps below for turning this feature along with a link to our website to the user manual and simulator supporting your device. If you have tried these suggestion and still have the issues, I could look into an option of offering you a certified like new replacement if you are under warranty. Please send me a private message with your information to be assisted further. I hope this helps.
    To turn on the memory cleaning feature:
    1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
    2. Click Security > Advanced Security Settings > Memory Cleaning.
    3. Select the Enable check box.
    4. Press the key > Save.

  • Is it possible to use the GPS function on an IPAD2 without a 3G or WiFi connection

    I have an IPAD2 with WiFi+3G.  I need to be able to use the GPS without a WiFi or 3G connection.  Is this possible?  If so how.

    Yes you can. The 3G iPad has a built-in GPS chip so doesn't need a connection to a 3G or wifi network to work. If you want to be able to view your position on a map then you need the relevant maps to have already been downloaded to the iPad, so you probably need one of the third-party mapping apps.

  • Blackberry Curve 3G vs. Blackberry Bold 9650

    My upgrade is in 26 days. I would like Pros and Cons of both, what the difference is between the two and why one of them would be better than the other.  It’s a tough decision and I would like to make the best choice for me, seeing as how I will have this phone for the next 2 years and I don’t want to spend several hours in the Verizon store figuring out everything at the last minute. I know the Blackberry Bold is on the higher end of the blackberry spectrum. Thank you all so much

    Hi,
    A few months ago, I posted my thoughts on the Bold 9650 in the thread http://community.vzw.com/t5/BlackBerry-Devices/Tour-and-the-Bold-Compared/td-p/211580  I have had the Bold now for about 3 months and I love everything about it.  The large memory allows for more storage.  Actually, both devices have great, similar features, however, the Curve 3G is made of cheaper materials.  You can tell the difference by picking up both devices.  Because of the cheaper materials, the Curve 3G is cheaper in price.  Both have WiFi, and if you have been reading these forums over the past few weeks, a lot of people are taking advantage of the cheaper $15 dollar data plan.  I hate that fact for some of the Tour owners who don't have WiFi available on their devices.  But back to your question, I would go for the Bold, simply because it is a higher quality device and you will get your money's worth after you use it.  My advice would be to go down to one of the Verizon stores and play with both of the devices to get a feel for it.  The Bold has a higher quality screen resolution, too.  You will notice that when you pick up both devices.  Good luck,
