i thought to ope a new thread about this.
i tried to get bb connect on wm6 (at&t) versions 2 and 4.
i didn't get any of them to work.
did sombody succeeded in the meantime?
is there a new version coming up?
hope te hear...
Tried them both too on my 750C w/ WM6, unsuccessful. Right now I am on BBC 4.0.0.90, still not working, getting from: No Connection -> Network Available -> Data Tunnel Available (at this point gets an IP address) -> No connection. The PIN is never generated so BBC is unusable for now. I was following a thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294218 , tried to modify my AKU version (didn't try to modify the build in the ROM though) w/ no results.
In the mean while, Hermes/ATT 8525 w/ WM6 and BBC 4.0.0.90 works just fine. What are we missing here ? Anyone w/ a clue ?
I am happy that someone opened a thread for this, I hope we'll get a fix.
Thanks,
HC
i've upgraded mine with wm6 non attws , unable to connect on bbc4 as well
does anybody know the latest b uild of the bb connect software (and where to get it)
i have (downloaded from vodafone nl)
blackberry version 4.0.0.67
transport version 4.0.0.70
and does anybody has a list of new features in later releases
I have 4.0.0.90, check the thread that I posted above for links to download it. Also Google for "Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.90" and I am sure you'll get something. I think the 4.0.0.90 version is not specifically for Treo 750, it's rather for larger screen devices, like the Hermes etc. but it doesn't bother me scrolling a little bit in one or two tabs.
Good luck,
HC
i'm on 750v wm6.0 vodafone and can't get bbc4 to work
not even 2.1
argh!
pissing me off!
I recommend you just to wait a couple of days with the device switched off. I have a HTC Touch, vodafone, Germany. Downloaded Blackberry 2.1 and 4.0, didn't work. Never got a PIN ("PIN pending"). Read somewhere that it worked after a couple of days, so I switched my device off and was frustrated. I even wanted to sell it on eBay already. After 2 days I switched it on again, and, guess what, I had a PIN in the Blackberry software!!! Then I configured my Touch using BlackBerry Activesync Software, and it's now working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Version 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my recommendation: Try to wait 48 hours.
Currently no BB client is working with WM6 Treo, no matter if you use 2.1.2.52 or 4.0.0.67 or 4.0.0.90. Its always the same, as soon as you connect to the BlackBerry infrastructure you are blocked >>> no IP-adress >>> no connection. Sometimes you can connect one time and when you send the PIN via register now you lose the connection and never get it back again. RIM blocks all device/client/provider combinations which are not supported by the providers. So if you have a provider who supports BlackBerry on WM6 Treo you should be able to connect. I have not found a provider who is doing that so far. The same is with HTC S710. This device worked fine with BB connect 4.0.0.67 for some time, but now you are blocked by RIM if your provider does not support BB on the device.

Wrong. I have been using BBC 4 on my Hermes for months with AT&T and as far as I know the Hermes is supposed to be a "blocked" device. It's not that RIM is blocking it, it's that the software has to be HEX edited to work with WM6. No version of BBC will work on WM6 on the Treo until someone smarter than me can cook up a ROM that is HEX edited to run BBC.
Anyone succeeded in gettings this to work - I'm about to flash to Wm6 so better be sure...

I just got this and it works perfectly on my S710. I had got wipe the device and do a fresh install of the application. Give it a shot. Make sure you have an Active Sync connection to your device before trying to install.
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_standard_bb_4.0.0.84.zip
On the AT&T Rom you get Uncertified System Software detected on the install. I assume this is because the S710 is a smartphone rather than a WM device?
Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC
PS. Posted this in the "Palm Treo 750" forum too ... hope I don't bother anyone

Still doesn't work. I tried to install/uninstall etc. w/ same results, no connection. I am using the leaked ATT rom which otherwise works fine, no strings mods, just the rom w/o any modifications.
Hope this answers your question.
Good luck,

Just did it, same result, no connection. I am uninstalling it right now. Too bad. Again, I think it has to do w/ the device type not the software itself. I have a 750C w/ leaked ATT rom
Anyone w/ other results ?
Thanks,
HC
Installs fine. Gives me PIN and IMEI but no IP and no connection. IT says Network Available and tries to reconnect every few mins. I'll wait for few hours before unistalling it. Sometimes Blackberry Service can take little bit longer to register on USA T-mobile provider.

I've never used a Blackberry before. Is there an advantage to using this instead of the usual Windows Mobile methods for email? Would this allow me to have push email if my company doesn't have an exchange server?

At least the name, AT&T Tilt, is now 100% confirmed!!!
Gr8 to see that my next phone also supports Blackberry Connect. I am using it on my Wizard for some months and id rather not live without it.
Basically BBC has similar functionality as WM Push-email. BBC is of most use when your company has chosen for Blackberry instead of MS Exchange push technology.
Im wondering what the advantages of BBC 4 are as compared to the old version 2 (afaik there is no BBC version 3)
I'd be interested in hearing if people have an opinion of a BB server vs. Goodlink on this device. My company has both. Thanks
BB Connect vs GoodLink on Kaiser

I am using GoodLink on my kaiser and it is HORRIBLE!! For the past few ROMs, GoodLink has all but crippled my device when i am composing or replying-to a message. It is real jerky when typing and sometimes the device briefly locks up.
I have been told that Version 5 of GoodLink works better on WM6 & this device but I can't get my hands on it because it has not been certified in our production environment. (The lab guys use Exchange Push and i am trying to get my mailbox moved there.)
I am about to pull down BB Connect and give it a go until I can get on the Exchange Push servers. The drawback to BB Connect is that only Mail & Calendar are sync'd wirelessly. Notes, Contacts, Tasks have to be sync'd manually though the BB Desktop Mgr.
im waititng for my kaiser. I have been a longtime user of Goodlink on Palm treos- i think Goodlink is significantly better than any other mail app out there. I contacted Good regarding support for WM6 and Kaiser. they said that Good 5 supports WM6 but the kaiser is not listed as a supported device (yet?).
After my experiences of Good on a WM Treo750 (disasterous) i will stick with the WM mail / contacts apps for now.
Q for the person who put good on his / her kaiser: did contacts searching etc still work properly?
BB4 syncs contacts tasks 7 notes
Hello I would be interesyed in hearing if the BB connect version from for the tilt works on the HTC branded kaiser.
I have headr that with blackberry connect 4 you can now sync email,calendar,contacts, and tasks wirelessly AND use the MDS service even for the pocket explorer, google maps, etc.
Since I couldn't get bbc to work on my universal, if this works on the kaiser I will give it a go... I certainly would drop my 8800 blackberry for the kaiser.
thanks
Vinny
I have now installed Good on the Kaiser and it worked perfectly. Exactly like on the Hermes. We are running v4.9.3.21_EN

One of the nices things about BB 4 is that now you can connect to the internet through the MDS service, without having to disconnect from the blackberry connection to go to your ISP connection. It also supports wireless activation as well as better security policies among other things.
Ha one of the lucky kaiser owners actually tested this? I would like to know if this will also work on the HTC branded Kaiser or just on the AT&T Tilt.
thanks!!

Can someone educate me on the difference between Blackberry Enterprise Service and Activesync? Why would one choose the BES over Activesync. I believe they both are push email services with syncing of calendar, contacts, and notes as well. What are the benefits or are they exactly the same except for personal preferences?
I have just installed it on the HTC TyTN II. I am using FIDO in Canada which uses BB Connect and it works very well.
Thanks,
my company uses Good and a BB server. I got BBC to install on the Tytn II but I switched back to Good within a few days. BBC on a Pocket PC is not great. It slows the device down terribly. Also Good synched much faster. The attachment handling is bad and very limiting. I think Good 5.0 due out this month should be even better. Just my 2 cents.
Thx a lot it works fine in T-Mob Hungary with Tytn II. saved my new tool you did!
Hello I've installed the BB Connect software and got a pin, I also get connection to the network and a IP Address, but whenever I try to activate i get errors, if I do it via USB I get a success message but my BBC destop says PIN unknown, the I tried to do a wireless activation ang got a an error saying that I should contact my administrator.
Can this have something to do with the Enterprise server? supposedly my company doesn't support BBC devices, is there a way they can know this is not a BB?
I'm in MExico using Telcel carrier.
Thanks!!
Works for me too
Tytn 2 (from orange uk - on orange uk) running bbconnect 4.0.84 against my works bes
used the desktop config tool once installed (unconnected to pc - see below) and all fine
*note
If you install bbconnect when attached to your pc it hangs and doesn't install properly so you have to remove / reinstall
Installed BB Connect yesterday on an AT&T Tilt. Account is on the company BES server. Working well so far.

This sounds like the problem I had. It's related to the policies on your company's BES. I found the solution in the RIM knowledgebase:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/sear...Public&dialogID=31123659&stateId=0 0 31125133
Unfortunately, it requires action by a BES admin. I hope you can sweet talk an admin into doing it.
Wifi?
Can any of you using this confirm if it works or not via wifi?? Can you sync with the bes or bis with out a data connection only using wifi???
Thanks.
Jeff
so bb connect includes bb messenger? i cant find it, maybe im not seeing it correctly..
There is no blackberry messenger client in blackberry connect at this time.
Hello,
I have been experiencing an strage connectivity problem. I'll try to be as precise as possible to facilitate understanding.
I have owned an HTC TYTN II (unlocked, UK version bought in USA through MobilePlanet) connected in the USA through T-Mobile since December 2007. I subscribe to T-Mobile full internet ($19.99 internet2.voicestream.com, no proxies)
The phone has worked wonders during this time and I have push email with Microsoft exchange 2003, I could browse the internet, any sites, download youtube videos, streaming audio, whether for the home plug-in, etc.
Suddenly, 2 days ago, I was downloading the news on an RSS reader and it could not connect to any of the feeds. Strange! I thought. I reset the phoen and everything continue working. By the way, even when the RSS reader and PIE could not connect, I DID continue to receive emails through the same EDGE connection.
yesterday something similar happened. PIE would stop at "Locating..." even for www.google.com. I changed my DNS servers to OpenDNS and it "seemed" to solve the issue, however, a few hours later, Live messenger could not connect. I reset the DNS servers to the T-Mobile default and it did not fix the problem. PIE cannot connect, whether plugin cannot connect, Live messenger cannot connect, prRSS reader cannot connect ..BUT...Outlook receives push emails as if nothing had happened.
This morning I called T-mobile. They made me go through the configuration again. Made me change my SIM card to another T-Mobile phone (my wife's) in the same area to eliminate power outages or tower problems as the likely cause. Again, the Tytn could not connect by my wife's phone with my SIM card connected perfectly (yahoo, google, etc). I reset the TYTN II to use the T-zones (wap) connection instead, and the same thing happened: Connecting...Locating...Opening.... stays there forver. T-Mobile rep suggested "Clear Storage", which I did, and then a "hard-cold-factory reset" to no avail.
before the reset, I tried a, little tool I have to troubleshoot networking problems. it basically does an HTTP/GET from a given site and dumps the HTML text on the screen. i tried it with Google and yahoo and it worked, very quickly, as expected.
Bottom line. This is the situation right now:
- Factory reset TYTN II. No custom applications installed. No tweaks or customizations.
- T-Mobile full internet plan (internet2.voicestream.com)
- PIE doesn't work (Connecting...Locating---Opening... stays there forever)
- Live messenger doesn't Work
- prRSS doesn't work, weather plugin doesn't work
- Outlook exchange connection DOES WORK and has never stopped working.
The same setting used to work for 2 months. Phone has not been dropped, gotten wet, exposed to magnetic fields, etc.
PIE works through other connections (WiFi for example)
UPDATE: If I try to navgate to a web page using PIE, i.e, www.google.com, it goes: Connecting...Locating...Opening.... after several long minutes it error outs with this error message:
The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. check the connection and try again later.
I have owned WM phones since the Motrola MPX-200, MPX-220, Dash (WM3, WM5, WM6....) and Symbian phones (E61) and I have never experienced anything like it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Much appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Hi All,
I have a Kaiser ROM 1.56.405.5 and Radio 1.27.16.21
I installed the BB Connect delivered on CD and checked ... it is the latest version.
I installed the BBC Desktop on PC and also checked .. it is the latest version.
My mobile operator has already activated my SIM card for BB and it is working because I have the service always connected, I got a PIN and an IP address is always available.
Now, coming to the activation, I had my IT managers who make my email BB enabled and got a password (MS Exchange).
The Blackberry Entrepise Service is activated on the BBC and everything seems working.
As I was not able to activate my email with the given password, I read in several threads that we can do it through the PC with the BBC Desktop.
I did it and it worked .... miracle!
Sending and recieving emails when connected to the PC is perfectly working.
But sending and recieving emails when standalone through wireless is impossible. My email is visible and seems activated on Kaiser BBC.
Eventhough the radio tunnel seems to be connected and active (either on EDGE or 3G), no way to have it working normally.
Question 1:
Can my mobile operator be blocking the usage of HTC on the network in order to oblige buying a BB handset?
If yes, why do I have a Radio BB Connection always active?
Question 2:
Do I need for a while before getting my email "really" activated by BB?
Is it linked to the fact that I never succeed to use the password given by my IT people?
Question 3:
Is it possible that I need to configure my GPRS connection? I read somewhere that the APN could be different and sometimes we need to chaneg the registery keys. My understand was that this is needed for older versions of BBC.
I am just trying to understand whether I have to shoot on my IT people (they will not like it because of the policy: Nothing else that BB handsets!) or to shoot on my mobile operator who can also have the same policy.
Thanks for your help.
Marko
I have always had to use the blackberry desktop to provision a blackberry connect device for bes.
Check your settings and connections. You should have a connection for blackberry.
You also should have a blackberry icon at the bottom right of your home screen. Click this and check your blackberry settings such as identity (pin, imei, ip address), status (connected), email settings, services (some of the individual services have settings which you should check).
Hi
Yes everything you said is OK
What are the settings for the services?
I have no clue.
One of them is not running: IPPP for 5 click [IPPP] !!
Thx
Marko
Is your ROM a 6.1 ROM? I can't tell by just the numbers. If it is Change registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2)
Not sure why 6.1 does that but it worked for me.
Thanks to Dutty for the above instructions
my ROM ver is 1.56.405.5 Radio is 1.27.16.21
Register is OK
What should I do with the password given by my IT guys? I didn't use it.
THX
Marko
Hehe
Just found out that my ROM is WM 6.0 can it come from this ?
Thx
Marko
I used the BB Connect software on my pc, clicked configure handset and it did all the work for me, I didn't need to enter a password.
You might need to go into BB security and set a password for the handset.
Hi
I flashed a new ROM with 6.1 on my Kaiser.
BBC version .100
Radio is ok and got PIN
BBC Desktop configured my the balckberry services on Kaiser.
Even, sent and recieved email when connected to PC with BBC Desktop.
BUT ... when I am on wireles, no way to make it working.
Thx for your help.
Marko
Guys,
It was my provider. Now everything seems working even in roaming.
They put me on BIS and when I asked for BES, they proposed to me a new thing: BB Multinational.
Just be careful all, there is not only BIS and BES but also BB Multinational with some providers.
Cheers.
Marko
Okay, so I have this Kaiser (HTC Tytn II) with Windows Mobile 6.1 running great. I am roaming on the ATT network, but have T-mobile service. Well I loaded up the ATT OZ IM Client because it has the MSN IM unlike the T-mobile version that does not. Well I can the software to run great, but I can't seem to get it to remember where to go to get a connection. I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer.
I have tried to modify the
\HKCU\Software\OZ Communications\Configuration\4
Network http://yahoo.cwmim.com:1174
I already know it needs to be this:
http://wirelessvillage.msn.t-mobile.com:4705
But every time I change it and try to log onto the IM, the stupid software keeps changing the value back to the original att settings. How can I lock the registry so the software can't change that setting. Or how can I make the software go to the correct address?
check out fring or slick, they can handle all that stuff for you. I suggest fring over slick.
