Z10 without BIS just a kind of pale iPhone copy

I'ma faithful blackberry customer almost for decade now and I had in mind to switch from my 9860 to Z10. I purchased it from my carier, ORANGE and got it last monday. I had already changed from old to new blackberry several time and I was prapared to it with Z10, not that way!
After having trasfered data from my 9860 to Z10 and connecting it to network I was waiting for the BBY registration message and the Services directories, but I'll keep on waiting if the customer support hadn't told me (after having placed 15 calls and spent hours) "Z10 doesn't use BIS anymore" ... Thus NO MORE push mail, no more filters set up on BIS end, no more auto CCI when sending messages from the Z10, no more Blackberry email management success at all!
You just have to set up each and every email address teh way you did on other device email client:
Using GMAIL you should know if you connect to you Gmail account using any email client you should use the recent:[email protected] to get new messages even they already had been downloaded by other client. NO WAY to set up a gmail email address in Z10 using ":" you get this message error "IMAP server is not available yet, try again latter" !!
If you try to connect to server using plain text authen. it doesn't work either.
I've sent back Z10 to my carrier: without BIS Z10 is just a new smartphone maybe not worst than i5 or S4 (I'm not a Apple oy Samsung addict) and certainely not better.
WHY don't you let your customers decide if they want to keep using BIS or straight connect using POP3 or IMAP?

To add to the above...
While an answer is now moot for you (since you returned your Z10), nevertheless...it is a shame you didn't give it more time. Had you done so, you may have come across the "Advanced" email configuration screens, on which you can indeed select POP, IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, EAS, and several others. Using the wizard requires the server to provide back to the device the proper settings...using the Advanced settings allows the user control over how a specific account is configured to their Z10 (within the limits of what the server supports, of course).
As for PUSH...there certainly is that! But, of course, only for server environments that support it. But, to compare, even under BIS, PUSH was (for non-PUSH supporting email servers) only truly from the perspective of the BB...BIS was polling the server at a 15 minute interval, and then pushing to the device things that arrived on the server. BIS would shorten that interval whenever it found something, but during periods of inactivity, BIS was polling every 15 minutes...which is exactly what ActiveSync does for non-PUSH enabled servers. So it is relatively the same as before.
As for the message ("IMAP server is not yet available..."), that normally happens when you have not, inside of GMail itself, activated IMAP. The user has control over what is faced to email clients (POP, IMAP, or both)...at least for non-paid accounts, I am not sure if it's different for paid GMail accounts (e.g., your own domain, hosted within GMail)...but, I do know that paid accounts have support available from Google...but it would appear that you did not try that either.
As for BIS...that's gone for BB10, replaced by on-device ActiveSync. We can debate forever "why" they may have chosen to do so, but that debate is moot...for it is what it is.
Good luck with whatever other platform you decide upon!

How to Enable MMS without BIS

How to enable MMS without BIS
This guide is for you if:
you have an BlackBBerry OS 7 device on a regular (non-BIS) data plan
and
2. you cannot send MMS (multimedia) messages.
Getting MMS working requires you to split, hex edit, merge and install service books, so read through the instructions and decide whether you’re up to it. I’ve attempted to explain everything as clearly as possible, but it’s a complex process and requires you to follow instructions carefully.
It's worth asking your carrier if they can just enable MMS for you. If they can and will, you don't need this guide.
Notes:
The process described here may also work on earlier devices with OS 4, 5, and 6, but I don’t have those devices to test.
Many carriers require you to have a data plan in order to send MMS messages. If you don’t have one, this guide may not help you.
Depending on your cellular plan, sending MMS messages may involve extra charges.
Preparation: Before You Get Started
Software
First, you need some tools to do the work. Download and install these three programs on your computer:
MagicBerry 3.5 (here)
A Hex editor (I like HxD, here)
BlackBerry Desktop (link)
Service Books
You will also need a copy of the service books attached to post #1 in this thread over at CrackBerry. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a location of your choice.
MMS Configuration Information
Once you have the tools and service books, you need to get the MMS configuration information from your cellular carrier.
Specifically, you need three settings: MMS Proxy, MMSC, and APN. Search on Google for something like, “MMS settings for [insert your cellular carrier’s name here]” and you should find them. Note that you also need the port number for the MMS Proxy. It should be there on the settings page.
Note: if the port number for your MMS Proxy is in the 9000s, this process probably won’t work, since your cell carrier may be using the older WAP 1.2 specification. If anyone runs across this, let me know, and I’ll try to help you out.
A Note on MagicBerry
MagicBerry is an .ipd file editor. Service books, like the ones responsible for MMS, are .ipd files. The logical conclusion would be that you could edit service books with MagicBerry. But MagicBerry only shows you certain pre-set fields within the .ipd file. As a result, you can't see or edit a lot of the information in the service book. Even worse, if you do edit a service book file with MagicBerry, that unseen information is not saved, so you end up deleting it and rendering the service book useless.
MagicBerry does have good uses, though: it splits and merges service book files perfectly. In fact, it is the best tool for splitting and merging service books, which is why you downloaded a copy.
Due to MagicBerry’s limitations, you’re going to edit the files with the hex editor.
Let’s get started!
The MMS How-to Guide
Step 1: Split the .ipd Files
Start MagicBerry, click File > Open, and open the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
Click Manipulate > Split.
Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
Press “Split Selected,” enter a file name (and select a directory, so you know where the file is being saved), and press “Save.” Name the file “MMS_Config_20” so that you easily recognize it.
Note: there are "MMS Config" and "MMS Config 2.0" service books in the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file. Make sure you select the 2.0 version.
Step 2: Hex Edit the MMS Config 2.0 File
Now, start your hex editor and open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file. It will look like this, without the highlights and bolding. I’ve added those so that it will be easier to provide instructions on editing.
Hex Editing Basics
In the HEX editor, the blue numbers don’t matter to you (they’re just column and row labels). Only the black ones are part of the file.
The bytes (the two-character pairs) on the left side are all numbers, expressed in hexadecimal or “base-16”. The same information is expressed in ANSI characters on the right side.
The basics of hexadecimal numbering are that you count as follows:
Base-16 (hexadecimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10
Base-10 (decimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
So in the two-character byte pair, 0D = 13, 1F = 31, 50 = 80, etc. If you can figure out those conversions, you’re good. If not, google hexadecimal numbering, and spend some time at a lesson. You need to understand how hex works to do this. There are also decimal to hexadecimal converters online. Use them to check your work, or to do the conversion work for you.
You can edit the file from either side of the hex editor. As you edit the information on one side, you’ll see it automatically changing on the other as well.
It’s easier to edit the information in the green, turquoise, and red fields on the right side.
The information in the grey, yellow, and pink fields must be edited from the left (hex) side, because it’s the hex value that matters, and it shows up as periods or jibberish on the right side. All those “dots” on the right side are not identical when you look over at the left side. They’re actually very different values. The nonsensical letters on the right side are likewise meaningful values on the left side.
It’s not a bad idea to just spend some time playing around in the hex editor before you move on. When you’re done, close the file without saving it, and the changes you make while experimenting won’t be made permanent.
Editing the File
The green blocks: enter your MMS proxy in each one, with the port number following the colon. Add to or delete bytes from the highlighted field if necessary, but whatever you do, do not write over or delete bytes outside the highlighted field! Those bytes contain necessary information, and if they are not there, the service book will not work. The same rule holds true for all of the other edits. You must stay within the highlighted fields. To delete bytes, just press delete. To insert bytes, position the cursor, and go to Edit > Insert Bytes on the menu bar, and choose the number of bytes to insert. If you’re using HxD hex editor, ctrl-z will undo a mistake. It also makes your changes in red, which makes them a little easier to follow. As with all programming, the work has to be perfect. There can be no mistakes. Check everything you do carefully.
The turquoise block: enter the MMSC address here.
The red block: enter your APN here.
The yellow blocks: total number of bytes in the highlighted green, turquoise, or red range that follows. Adjust it when you’ve finished editing. The number must be expressed in HEX of course. Use a decimal to hexadecimal converter online if you prefer that.
The pink blocks: the total number of bytes in the bolded range that follow (again, in hex). Adjust it when you’re finished editing the field.
The grey block: a count of the total number of bytes that follow it. In the original file, the value is 30 01 00 00, which breaks down as: 30(hex)=48 01(hex)=256. The total (48+256) is 304. If the number of bytes following the grey block was less than 256, there would be no 01 in the second place. For example, if there were 226 bytes following the block, the grey block would look like this: E2 00 00 00. When you are finished editing the entire file, go back and adjust the number in the grey block accordingly.
Once you’re done, save the file.
Step 3: Merge the MMS Config 2.0 and Wap Push Config Service Books
Open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file in MagicBerry
Once you’ve opened the file, click Manipulate > Merge.
Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots.
Choose the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
Tick only the box for the “Wap Push Config” service book.
Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
Close MagicBerry
Step 4: Backup Your Phone
This is mandatory. You’ll need the backup file for step 6.
You need to have BlackBerry Desktop installed on your computer. If you haven’t done that yet, do it.
Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer with a USB cable. If BlackBerry Desktop does not start automatically, start it.
Do a backup. Just hit “Back up now” and follow the prompts. Do a full backup. Once you’re done, go to step 5.
Step 5: Merge the combined MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config service book file with your existing service books
Open MagicBerry
Press File > Open and at the bottom of the Open dialogue window beside the File name box, change “IPD Files (.ipd)” to “BBB Files (.bbb)”. Navigate to the folder where you stored your backup, and open it. It might take a while to open.
Click Manipulate > Merge.
Go down the list on the left hand side and tick the checkboxes for the service book entries (they will be way down). If there are service books listed for MMS Config or Wap Push Config, uncheck those boxes.
On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots. Choose your merged MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config file.
Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
Optional: You can merge the newly created file again with any other service books you may need – such as the Anworm service books for the browser mentioned in my thread on CrackBerry. Just follow the process used in step 3.
Step 6: Install the Service Books to your phone:
Connect your BlackBerry to your computer with a USB cable if it isn’t still connected.
On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Service Book
Hold down the “Alt” key and press S B E B. You should see a message that says, “Legacy SB Restore Enabled.” Press Okay.
On your computer, open BlackBerry Desktop.
Go to Device > Restore.
Press “Change” and navigate to the folder with the merged .ipd file you created. Press “OK.” You should now see the file listed in the Restore window.
Click on the merged .ipd file you created to select it.
Under the heading “Select Data to Restore,” select “Select Device Data and Settings” and then tick the box for “Service Book.” This step is really important. Make sure it's done right. If you screw it up you could end up wiping a lot of settings and data.
Press “Restore” and answer “Yes” to the confirmation dialogue.
Close the BlackBerry Desktop software, disconnect your device, and do a battery pull to reboot.
Voila! If everything went well, you should have MMS capabilities. Test your ability to send and receive multimedia by sending yourself a picture message. You should receive the message within about 10 seconds.
If it doesn’t work, go back and make sure EVERYTHING in the file is done perfectly. If you find a problem, fix it, merge the files again, and reinstall the service books.

Why not just ask carrier to enable MMS? I know T-Mobile can and will do it, even if there is no data plan at all on the line. We did it for my daughter and I know T-Mobile has done it for others. I assume other carriers do the same, but don't know....Which is why I ask.

Is it possible to operate without BIS - in particular GMail and app world?

Hi there!
I have had a BB Curve 3G 9300 for one week; I'm in the UK, and I acquired it together with a T-Mobile contract, at a Phones4U shop in London. Before agreeing to buy the BB, and the contract, I went through a whole load of things that I wanted to be able to do, with the salesman, and was assured that they were all possible at no extra cost beyond the contract.
Now the thing is that this contract includes T-Mobile unlimited internet, but does not include the T-Mobile "Blackberry Booster" - which I believe is T-Mobile's terminology for BIS.
After checking with a nice lady at T-Mobile, I didn't think that should be a problem, because she said that the Blackberry Booster is only needed for Blackberry's push email system, and Blackberry Messenger, neither of which I want.
Since then, however, I've been periodically having trouble with the GMail app (saying "This application requires a working data connection") and BB App World (with a similar message about not being able to connect to the server). This isn't the case all the time --- sometimes both of those work fine. But they fail (as described) around 40% of the time, and obviously that's enough to mean that I just can't rely on them.
So I just called T-Mobile again, and this time I was told that this was caused by not having the Blackberry Booster. The person I spoke to claimed that Blackberry have the power to prevent my apps from working (in the way I've described) and that they periodically scan BB handsets and disconnect people like me who aren't paying for the Booster/BIS.
So now I'm wondering if this is really true, and - in other words - that it is effectively impossible to use a BB properly without the Booster/BIS. If you are sure you know about this, please reply to help me out!
I should add that you can find stuff about the GMail problem all over the web, with many different solutions proposed. But most of the hits are old, and my impression is that none of the solutions are definitive. I've also tried most of the suggestions, and they haven't helped. (The only significant one I haven't tried yet is the one about redownloading Service Books, because I don't understand it, and because it sounds like it's related to having BIS.)
Many thanks in advance for all help that you can offer!
Neil
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi there Neil,
That is correct. In order to use BlackBerry App World and other apps such as GMail, Facebook and Twitter, you need a BlackBerry data package and access to BIS. Without BIS access, these apps will not work correctly, although you can access GMail online via your browser and you can manually download apps via your computer.
I hope this info helps!

Finder Sidebar without text, just icons?

How can I get the Finder Sidebar without text, just the icons?
(I want it as small as possible.) Thanks.

There is no way to have it display icons only, and there is no way to shrink it down beyond a certain point. You USED to be able to shrink it by dragging, until the text disappeared leaving the icons only, but that changed with Leopard. The screenshot you saw was undoubtedly of an earlier version of the OS. Furthermore, in Leopard if you turned it off you also turned off the toolbar. In Snow Leopard it is now possible to turn off the Sidebar, but keep the toolbar: either go to the View menu and select Hide Sidebar, or press the keyboard shortcut Command-Option-S. Clicking the lozenge in the upper right corner of a Finder window still turns off both the Sidebar and toolbar.

Is Weblogi just a kind of web administration tool?

I am deploying the Hyperion Foundation(Shared service, workspace) to Weblogic in windows XP, I am wondering: is weblogic a kind of web server? like IIS?
If it is not a web server, why people like to install Weblogic to work with Hyperion? IIS and Acrobat is enough? If weblogic is a kind of web server, when I configure to deploy Workspace to Web Server, I only see "IIS Web HTTP serevr" and "Apachy HTTP Server" pop up in the web server drop down boxes? No option for "Weblogic web server" can be seen?
Is Weblogi just a kind of web administration tool?
Please advise,thanks!
Edited by: user2571802 on Feb 27, 2010 3:58 PM

Hi,
First point I wouldn't try and deploy workspace using windows XP, I would stick to the supported operating systems.
Weblogic is a web application server and application servers are required to run products such as shared services, eas.
Workspace uses an additional web app that runs on either IIS or Apache, it is basically used as a plugin for workspace and redirects the traffic to the correct web address and port depending on the product you are accessing, so if you access planning or financial reports from workspace it will redirect to the correct port and web server though you only have to access workspace via one port and address.

My girlfriend just bought me an unlocked iphone 4s but how can i activate it without my card?

My girlfriend just bought me an unlocked iphone 4s but at the moment I have a standard size sim card and we are in the caribbean. She has a micro sim in her iphone 4. can i activate my phone with her card then change to my card (different carrier) when i get back to our home country (from caribbean)? also ofcause not affecting her phone or sim.
Basicly I wanna play around with the new phone and siri and stuff before I go back home
Merry christmas all btw!

There are SIM cutter's/punches that will cut a full size sim into a micro sim.
Then you can use the old part of the large sim as a holder/adapter of the newly made micro sim
as a full size sim.

Maybe you can find someone or local shop to do it for you

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

Is there a way to export a searchable list of artists/albums/songs (not the music files, just the text) to my iPhone 4?

Basically, I have an iPod Classic which contains over 17,000 songs. I have a 16 GB iPhone 4. I don't always have the iPod with me, but just about always have the iPhone. Since I am still old school enough to actually buy CDs, I'd like a handily available and searchable list that I can export from iTunes to my iPhone so I can make sure I don't accidentally duplicate a purchase (it happens). I've tried searching the App Store but either I am doing it wrong, or nothing exists as yet. Obviously the phone can't carry all of that music so I am not looking to transfer those files en masse. Just want the lists so I can reference them as needed. Is this a pipe dream or is there actually a way to do this? Thanks in advance...

I just saw your post
Im using Adobe Elements 11 and my movie is a prel file. When I move it an
external hard drive I want to maintain the order of of my movie in its
original time line if possible
The prel file is a project file which will eventually be exported to a file which will be your movie.
If all this involves just changing the location where you save your project files routinely, that is one thing.
But, once you move the source media that go into a project which has been saved closed, then you get
into serious media - project reconnect issues.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals that are at a hard drive save location.
But, the project needs to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location where they were when first
imported into the project.
Moving the project file should not get you into trouble; whereas moving, deleting, renaming source media that went into the project will.
If the project is finished, I can see using the Project Archiver to save it in a Copied Folder (saved to the external hard drive).
But, to work from the Copied Folder on a routine basis needs some thinking about. I would think about pointing your project and
it components to locations of your choice (even the external hard drive) for the "next" project but without involving the Project Archiver until you have finished
with the project and want it safely out of the way.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

I just bought a brand new iPhone 4s from a Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3gs onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address that isn't mine!

I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!

In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

You need to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.
