Hello all. I have successfully installed BB Connect 4.0.84 on my Kaiser and it is up and running...both my BES and BIS accounts. Fairly smooth.
Question - whenever I suff the Internet or update my RSS feeds with Insight, it kicks the BB Connect "off" (disconnects) and uses MediaNet. Then I have to go in and "force" BB Connect back on. A bit of a PITA. I have an unlimited BES plan from AT&T...do I need to set the Connection types to be something else now for these other programs that need to access the Internet?
Any help you could provide with you greatly appreciated.
Thanks!,
Adam
yes go into the connection settings. then go to advanced and select networks and set both to My Isp or which ever one your BES\BIS connects to.
There is a new one now (not just MediaNet) tha is called "My Blackberry" but when I select that one none of the other Apps connect to the internet. Once when I select MediaNet do they connect. They actualyl disconnect the BBerry,connect themselves, and then a bit later the BBerry appears to re-connect on its own....so this may work out to be ok.
Thanks - much appreciated.
welp sorry to say bud thats how that is going to work then... BES must use its own network settings and the MediaNet for internet uses another sorry your stuck unless entering in the settings for wap.cingular by hand and not using MediaNet work for BBC
I too have BB Connect installed on my Kaiser. I am able to get emails successfully over Blackberry and gmail. However, I cannot use Internet explorer over MediaNet. GoogleMaps, the weather plugin, QuickGPS, etc can all get the data they need when connected through MediaNET but IE will not load any webpages.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? There are no options to config connections within IE and the connection within settings seems to be correct (how else would the other applications be able to use MediaNET?).
Note:
I can launch BIS for internet explorer and use the Blackberry connection instead of MediaNET. Obviously though this is not optimal as BIS has lmited sites, low res pictures, etc.
This is not really in the right forum. THere are a couple of BBC threads in the other Kaiser forum that address your question directly. Go there and search for blackberry. You'll find them.
issue kaiser w/ bbconnect
Hello,
I have a kaiser and the bbconnect installed on it but when I want to activate it, all my today plugins disappear and I can't find them in the today setup anymore.
Does anyone have an idea?
I'm in France but I don't think the issue comes from that.
I need it for my job and at the moment i'm totally held so please help me if you can.
Thanks in advance

BBConnect uses the blackberry.net APN. Media Net (which is used for all other internet connectivity on your phone) uses wap.cingular or isp.cingular APN. You can only be connected to 1 at a time. So, if you use IE, or any other non-blackberry prog that needs internet access, it will drop the blackberry.net connection and establish a connection via Media Net, severing your BB connection. Once you close the other app, and BBconnect tries to connect, it will close the MN connection and re-establish the Blackberry.net connection.
Bottom line: you can only be connected to blackberry.net OR Media Net at any given moment. Minro inconvenience, but that'a the way it is.
Thanks Jomo25 - much appreciated. On another note, I noticed that having BBConnect installed has slowed the device down noticably. Someone else mentioned seeing this in the forum - I was wondering if anyone has come up with some tweaks to help speed thsi back up. The device was 'screamin' pre-BBConnect....now it is more "normal" and not so exciting.
Thanks!
The slowdown is especially noticable when you go to the settings menu. The first time it can take up to 10 seconds to show up after selecting settings off the main menu. Then getting to the connections tab is almost as slow. It is faster after that initial time. This happened right after loading BBC.

GoogleMaps, the weather plugin, QuickGPS, etc can all get the data they need when connected through MediaNET but IE will not load any webpages. Also, if I connect to a wireless lan, the same thing happens. IE can't browse, but other apps access data just fine.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? There are no options to config connections within IE and the connection within settings seems to be correct (how else would the other applications be able to use MediaNET?).
Are there some proxy settings I need to change or fix? I was able to browse the internet with IE via wireless lan or medianet perfectly fine before BB Connect was configured.

No Need To Post Twice!
sorry
soory for posting twice but i didn't know if both of the threads were read or just one of them for any reason.
So sorry again.
I just need some help because i'm really lost with this issue
Thanks in advance
I am also having the same problem that xklipschx is having with BB Connect and IE. I have both network settings on MediaNet. When I manually suspend the BB connection, I still cannot get the browser to work. I am so frustrated I am considering dropping the BB Connect and just pull my emails.

Please, I need to connect my blackberry connect on my HTC diamond P3700 but I didn't see; PIN, IP details which will enable me to connect to there server.
What should I do?
Installed Opera and it works fine.
For some reason, IE doesnt seem to use my GPRS connection to connect to the internet. If I enable Wifi, it works as well.
I noticed this trouble after flashing the rom to Dutty's TouchFlo AT&T beta 2. IE displays "Locating" in the status bar. After a couple of minutes I get the pop up message "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later."
I changed my network setting to use the same GPRS provider for both internet and private networks.
I can active sync with my exchange server. I can get weather updates. I can RDP my exchange server. All signs of internet connectivity are present.
I can live with Opera, but it beats me why and where in the registry is this set.
I have googled and researched on the net, most i found was a registry setting that pointed to the user agent. but i later found out that it wasn't necessarily causing the issue. It just instructed the site that you were a mobile device and too spit out a mobile page if available.
Your help is appreciated!
Update
Ok this issue is resolved when i reverted to the original HTC Kaiser ROM...dont know why this happens only with dutty roms.
Giving Custel Roms a shot to see if this is still an issue

I'm kinda in this boat as well, it works 1/2 the time on my stock AT&T Tilt ROM. I have noticed that if I do a soft reset, it will normally work.

Call your carrier and ask if there are any reports with GPRS/3G access at the area where you have problems. Sometimes a faulty cell transmitter can cause this.

I'm reasonably sure it's the phone, happens at home, happens at work, happened on vacation in both San Antonio and South Padre Island.
From what we have heard on here for US settings you may to disable 'Use Proxy settings' for your connection. That may help.
IE Cannot Browse Internet ...
so sorry guys but i may be posting this under an inappropriate post...
but my problem here is that i cannot browse Internet via active sync USB connection. it is giving me an error saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later".. this is strange but i was able to browse before. this happened suddenly and i haven't changed any settings. Tried remedies posted on other forums, how ever it dint work for me, Appreciate if any one could help me.
cheers
It happens because it is a AT&T based rom. They orinally configured the rom to use a Proxy server. There is a program i have which unregisters the proxy from the registry and Walla!!!!!
It happeed to my WM6, same here can use IE to surf internet by GPRS or USB, after disable proxy setting, is bck to normal, thanks!!
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Internet settings\EnableAutoDetect = 1
It works!!!
I had similar issues with Orange in the UK.
Received phone on Dec 7th, worked an absolute dream til the 11th when started dropping calls (issues with 3g network) and unable to connect to the internet via IE though Blackberry/Opera could still connect.
Well, after 3 handset replacements and everyone at Orange having no idea I think I figured it out. It's the Blackberry software. It seems to 'trick' IE into thinking there is a present GPRS connection, but obviously the Blackberry connection seems to use different broadcast ports where as other apps like Opera actively try to 'lock on' to a valid GPRS signal.
So, long post short... Spend the $24 and get Opera and leave IE to be confused by itself. Oh, and don't expect the 'tech support' at Orange to ever know what's going on!
Which program

Great reg mod pal, thanks a lot. It does really work ppl!
There is a program under Programs->Tools->Proxy Manager to disable the proxy, and now IE works normally..Thanks to the folks who shared the information
Hey y'all,
I tried to search for the answer to this but couldn't find anything. Basically, I have found certain websites (my company's webmail, for example) that show up fine when I'm on a wifi connection, but come in blank when I'm using a GPRS/HSPDA connection. I'm guessing it's either a proxy setting or a Pocket IE registry setting that is causing this, but I have nothing really to back that guess. Is there anything that can be done to let me see the websites on both connections?
When you connect to WiFi, are you at home or at work? Is it possible you are trying to connect to a site that can only be reached via the "privileged" WiFi connection you are using?
If you can connect via WiFi and not via phone...
a) You do not have the correct Carrier data profile connections installed for GPRS.
b) You have re-flashed you rom and suffered a)....!!!
c) You have lost data links and java access to sites. Install Java, or re-flash your operator and stick with the cheap option you purchased!!!
d) Check for the network setup wizard (on this forum) and go to your carriers website to check the settings.
Thanks for the replies guys...
@dunneldeen: that's a good thought, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be limited on which wifi connection - in other words, I can connect regardless of the wifi area (airport, home, coffee shop, etc.) so that's not the problem.
@Farsquidge: I'm not sure if I'm understanding right. I can hit most websites and see them fine over GPRS, just a few certain ones don't show up - thus, I don't think it's my carrier settings. Option C seems like a potential candidate, I'll try installing Java and see what happens, and I'll report back if successful.
Thanks!
Err. Please don't forget you are using 'Pocket IE' not full blown IE and it will report that back via cookie to whatever site you are on and they will send you the cut-down version.
Download the trial for Opera (Not the mini version) for Windows Mobile.
In it's setup you can set it to report as PC.
Yeah, I figured it was a Pocket IE problem. It just seems strange that it works on wifi fine but not GPRS: does it send different cookies thru wifi than GPRS?
Err.. Actually, ya caught me out there but hopefully I can go back to my previous post and say you have lost your carrier profile for net access!
Hi -- I'm trying to use my ATT Tilt to share internet with my Axim x51v. It _seems_ to be working: I run Internet Sharing on the Tilt ("Bluetooth Pan", "MEdia Net") and connect to its "Network Access Point" via Bluetooth from the x51v.
It seems to connect properly, but the connection is extremely slow: Internet Explorer will sit on "locating" for about 15 seconds for each page I try to load, then load pages at just a few K per minute. This despite my running an HSDPA internet connection on the Tilt. Does anyone have any idea why this would be so slow? Is there a better way to use the 3G-enabled Tilt to get a high-speed internet connection to my x51v?
Thanks!
Alan
your bottle neck is probable the bluetooth. i would suggest you go get WmWifiRouter, i love it and its really fast even on EDGE.

Works great but no encryption and it's a battery hog.
they want me to pay for "tethering"
Up until a month ago, I had the 8525 from at&t. it had internet sharing pre-loaded on it, and the program worked exceptionally well. Unfortunately, my 8525's lcd started whiting out and I ended up getting it warranty replaced with a tilt. to my dismay, I couldn't find the program for internet sharing. after a little digging, I found that the program was still there, but that at&t had hidden it.
Since finding the program, however I have been unable to get it to work.
I connect via usb cable, and I hit connect. The tilt connects to MEdiaNet, but then when I try to open ie on my notebook, I am unable to connect. Then, when I check the connection in the networking and sharing center on the notebook, it tells me that the network I'm currently connected to is local only.
I called At&t for help with this, and they tell me now that there's an additional charge for "tethering" and asked if I would like to upgrade to it.
is there a rom that would allow me to use the internet sharing?
