WiFi for Blackberry Curve 8520?

For the longest time, I have been trying to figure out how to get the WiFi option to work on my Blackberry. I have tried to set everything up according to different forums and seeing if it would help, but nothing seems to be working. It always seems to refer me back to the settings/options. Can anyone help with my problem?
Anything would be greatly appreciated

Hi Vivian, Internet by wifi on blackberry is a miracle to work. Some routers (I think a lot of..) don't work with blackberry.. but.. the true is.. blackberry wants that you pay data plan service.. but try do this:
1. go to mobile service . .active data plan menu.. if you don't do this you never get IP address from DHCP server from wifi router
2. try again to connect the wfifi network

Hey BaByPaW1990,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
You can get your APN settings from your network service provider, also make sure you have a BlackBerry data plan.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Operating system for blackberry curve 8520

my blackberry was in contact with rain and the sticker on the battery is red i have been told the operating system has been wiped any one know how it would get fixed or do i have to take it to the profesionals and get it paid to get fixed

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
http://http://www.ehow.com/how_7307294_dry-out-blackberry-rice.html
Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time (perhaps longer...perhaps 5 days). Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
Only after that process should you attempt to recover your BBs functionality. It may never work again, or it may be fine...there is no way to predict.
Good luck!

Blackberry Curve 8520 how to disable Edge and surf on WIFI only

Hi,
Could anybody help me to disable Edge network on vodafone and only phone connects to WIFI when using internet on Blackberry Curve 8520.
It would be great help!

Just turn off Mobile network. Uncheck the box. Doing that means you can't make phone calls, though. That's the only way. If they're both on and a wifi connection is present it is supposed to use that first but some say it still uses mobile data sometimes.

Blackberry curve 8520 wifi problem

Hi, I just got a Blackberry curve 8520 with T-mobile. I dont have the data plan iI think, since I thought I have wifi at home.
I connected the wifi but just the phone cant get access to internet, my computer can, also my other phone. So I went to the Options, Browsers, to change the setting, yet it only has 2 options: web2go (which cost money), and hotspot browswer (Which i don't think I have in my area). Helps, please.
Do I have to pay to have web access? Even if I have wifi at home?

Yes the 8520 is WiFi capable with UMA. Without a data plan you will need to set the browse up for Hotspots.

Blackberry Curve 8520 (o2) - No data plan - Using browser purely with wifi?

I have just got a Blackberry curve 8520. I'm on o2.
I haven't got a plan that includes data, so was wondering how I can use my Blackberry internet over wifi.
Under mobile network settings I've disabled data services, so I don't get charged for data without me knowing.
I've also changed my browser configuration to Hotspot browser, and its found my Wireless network okay and saved.
However when I go on browser, It just keeps coming up with unable to connect to the internet.
Am I doing anything wrong?

I dont have a data plan (work phone) and can get internet through wifi, and have done so without any issue.
check 'Menu', 'Manage Connections', Wifi is ticked, with network name in Green
check your using Hotspot Browser, (you did say this, I know). So it definately says Hotspot Browser at the top of the browser when open rather O2 Active (or similar)
I'll keep looking to see if there are any settings I can find which could help

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Youtube on Blackberry Curve 8520 only working in 1 certain place.......why???

I can never get youtube to work on my blackberry curve 8520 (orange) except when im at my workplace.
At my work im connected to their wireless network, but im also connected to a wireless newtwork at home yet it doesnt work at home.
It also doesnt work anywhere outside.
Why would it only work in my workplace, something to do with my broadband provider at work? I cant seem to think why that should make a difference?
any help would be great.

It would have been great for you to mention what error you get when trying at home or anywhere outside of your work WIFI. I also have a Curve and I cannot play Youtube on Vodacom, problem is to do with bandwidth allocation by service provider, at work you might have higher bandwidth speed allowing video streaming, check if someone with similar phone on Orange is able to playback Youtube videos. The networks are not willing to release bandwidth for video streaming unless you will be billed extra like some networks do. Hope this solves the issue.
