Using WiFi as UMA mobile service.

Hi, I can't seem to get my Blackberry 8900 Curve to use the WiFi in my house as a mobile network. I've done this many times before, in different locations. My current service provider is T-Mobile and the service where I live is so bad that I often get no service at all. I found that I can bypass this by using WiFi as UMA  for the mobile network. Except this time, my blackberry refuses to use the WiFi as phone service. Does anyone know why this is? And i've already checked my phone settings; I have it on WiFi preferred. The phone is in fact getting the wireless connection because the WiFi icon is lit in the top right hand corner of the phone, and I can use the Internet on it when I have no phone service. Does anyone know why it's not letting me use the WiFi as phone service? Thanks

    safaritour,
I am glad to see that you are looking at options to keep up craft parenting techniques. For clarification are you trying to look for an app to change your wi-fi password through comcast? If so, it would be best to contact comcast directly to see what options they have for that. If through our Fios you can reach them here http://on.fb.me/SGYYEM. Each internet provider has there own security options and will be able to inform about best options, if any, to do so. Please keep us updated on this and if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

  • Does Qik use WiFi and Cell phone service ?

    At home we have WiFi in the house connected to our Router, which connects to our ISP.
    Using an iPhone in our house, using Qik,...will all the vido data use our WiFi connection ?
    ...to send a new Qik video ?
    ...to receive a new Qik video ?
    If we are out of the house, with no WiFi available, will Qik use our "cell phone network" ?
      (Which will use "data minutes" I assume.)
    I guess this is separate from "TXT messaging",   and if I have a limit on TXT, that is independent from Qik ?
    Sound correct ?
    Just want to have a good idea of when Qik uses each network.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    All depends on the connection type that your phone is using. If you are using WiFi connection with your iPhone at home, then Skype Qik usage - as any other internet usage on the device - will go through WiFi.
    When you are out and connected through "mobile internet", then Skype Qik will use this connection for sending/receiving videos.
    It does not affect your text messaging limits in any way, as it uses internet connection for sending/receiving videos.
    PS. On iPhone (iOS 7 and up), you can actually go to Settings > Cellular to tell the app to use WiFi only, if needed.

  • How to Use Mobile Service in HTML/JavaScript Application

    The Windows Azure Mobile Service is a back end tool for mobile applications. It supports various platforms, such as Windows Store, Windows Phone 8, iOS and Android. The Windows Azure
    Mobile service can also support HTML/JavaScript. This article helps you to get a basic idea of how to use the Windows Azure Mobile Service in HTML/JavaScript applications.
    Let us start with a Quick startup project provided by Microsoft. A Quick startup is a simple demo project that can help us to understand how to use the Windows Azure Mobile Service with HTML/JavaScript. So let's start from the Quick startup project.
    Login into in the Windows Azure portal and use the following procedure.
    This article assumes you already have a Windows Azure account and the mobile service is enabled in your account.
    1. Create a new Windows Azure Mobile Service
    Click on the +New button from the left corner and select Compute -> Mobile Service and then click on the "Create" button.
    The Windows Azure portal popup creates a mobile service wizard when you click the Create button. Windows Azure asks you to enter the mobile service name as shown in the following image:
    Select the database options and region for your mobile service and click on the "Next" button.
    Once your mobile service is successfully created, the portal will show all your mobile services as shown in the following images.
    Ok! We have created a new mobile service successfully. Let's move to our subsequent steps.
    1. Quick startup Project 
    As we all know, the Windows Azure Mobile Service can support many platforms such as Windows Store, Windows Phone 8, iOS, Android and HTML/JavaScript. This article only tells us about the new HTML/JavaScript platform that is recently added to the Windows Azure
    Mobile Service.
    In the image above, we are in the quick startup page where the Windows Azure Mobile Service allows the user to choose their platform. I have selected the HTML/JavaScript Platform.
    In the image above, we found 3 quick steps that can allow us to run <g class="gr_ gr_74 gr-alert gr_gramm Grammar" data-gr-id="74" id="74">a HTML/JavaScript</g> sample project. 
    1. Create Table: In this step the user needs to create a table that can used by the sample project, once you hit the create TodoItem Table button. The Portal will create a TodoItem table in your mobile service. You
    can check this table by clicking on the data tab(menu).
    2. Download and run your app: In this step the user needs to download the Quick startup project that is provided by the Windows Azure portal. Click on the "Download" button and download the project. You will
    see the following files in the quick startup project.
    The Server folder contains some files to setup this project locally. The user should run the file from the server folder corresponding to their OS. I am using Windows OS so I ran the <g class="gr_ gr_80 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace"
    data-gr-id="80" id="80">lanch</g>-<g class="gr_ gr_79 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="79" id="79">windwos</g> file to setup this project locally in
    IISExpress.
    Press r and enter the key, you will see IISExpress started. Do not close this Windows and open your browser and request the http://localhost:8000/ page.
    Enter the Item name and click on the add button. Your Item will be added to the TodoItem table.
    3. Configure your host name: This step is a very important step for any HTML/JavaScript application that uses the Windows Azure Mobile Service. In this <g class="gr_ gr_83 gr-alert gr_gramm Punctuation only-ins
    replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="83" id="83">step</g> the user must register their website name in the Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). By default, "localhost" is added by the Windows Azure Mobile Service
    so your quick startup project can run without making any CORS setting changes. The user can add their website domain name by clicking on the configure tab (menu).
    The user can add as many website domain names as needed.

    are you asking a question or did you just post a tutorial here? you might want to post it as a blog post or wiki entry instead.

  • Can I force my phone to make calls using WiFi, even when wireless is available?

    When I was in the UK a couple years ago I could make calls back to USA using WiFi, because the wireless service was incompatible with my phone.
    When I was in the Dominican Republic last year, even though I used GrooveIP and Google Voice, I came home to a $400+ wireless roaming bill, I think because the wireless service there IS compatible.  So how do I force my phone to make calls using WiFi, even when wireless is available?

        Hey there FredW,
    A $400 bill would certainly cause my jaw to drop so I absolutely want to provide you steps to prevent this from happening going forward.
    To avoid data charges you are going to want to make sure that Data roaming is turned off,http://vz.to/18oRFuS.
    You'll also want to disable mobile data,http://vz.to/1hCPg4Q.
    When using services such as GrooveIP, Google Voice, Skype you are going to want to make sure that you are connected to WiFi. Here is how to set up a WiFi connection,http://vz.to/II1jP6.
    Let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Curve 9300 won't use wifi service

    So I am not the first person to have this problem.  I've been trawling the web searching for solutions but no-one seems to have any.
    The problem is that my Curve 9300 will not use wifi connection instead of network data services.  I can connect to wifi networks just fine.  The phone searches the networks out, connects, puts the little icon on the home screen to say it's connected to a wifi network.  It lists the name of the network up the top.  Everything's great, except that when you actually go to use the internet, the phone connects to your data services instead of the wifi and you get charged for data consumption.
    If you turn off the network services to try and force the phone to connect to the wifi instead, you get the error message:
    "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication.  As a result, the Browser cannot retrieve any web pages.  Please try again when you are in a different location, or contact your service provider if the problem persists."
    To confirm:
    My Data Services are on.
    My APN settings are disabled.
    In Advanced Options, my Default Browser Configuration is set to Hotspot browser.
    In General Properties the default browser is Hotspot browser.
    In Browser Configuration, the browser is set to AT&T Mobile Web.  I have tried to change it to Hotspot Browser but I save the changes and leave the screen, then when I go back in to check, it's back to AT&T again.  It's not saving the changes to make Hotspot the default configuration.
    I did a battery pull to see if that would help and after the restart it allowed me to keep Hotspot as the default configuration but it still wouldn't connect if the mobile service was turned off.  It has now reverted itself back to AT&T and still won't work.
    I have read the thread on the Bold forum but for all the people complaining of having the same issue, there was still no solution.  I really want a resolution to this because I do a lot of travelling and my sim card can not always connect to a local network.  I want to be able to go to a local coffee shop and be able to connect, even if I don't have phone service in a foreign airport.  I don't understand what the point is in having wifi on a phone if you can't use it.
    Solved!

  • On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

    On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
    It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.
