BlackBerry Connect w/ Kaiser

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

Cannot connect to Slingbox on AT&T

This is the most appropriate location I could find to post this, as I have three HTC devices (8525, TyTN 2, and Advantage) so I thought I would start here.
Issue:
I can no longer connect to my Slingbox on my home network when using my MediaNet (wap.cingular) connection on the TyTN 2 or the Advantage.
Error Message: Cannot connect using these settings. But email and web work from the MediaNet settings, so I am fairly certain the configuration is correct.
Facts:
- The connection works over Wifi on either HTC device, so I know my Slingplayer Mobile settings (Finder ID, etc.) are correct.
- The connection works using a Verzion Motorola Q. My corporate VPN connection also does not work with AT&T, but does on the Q through Verzion.
Conclusion:
AT&T has (or did) make changes to the proxy used which prevents services running on certain ports from working correctly.
Question:
Is anyone else having problems connecting to their Slingbox? If you can connect, what settings are you using?
Additionally, could someone please explain the differences between the wap.cingular and isp.cingular settings? Do you have to use isp.cingular to get VPN and other advanced services to work? If so, what is the minimum data plan you must subscribe to with AT&T to be able to do so?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

I cant say why you are having issues. My Slingbox connection works fine (actually much better than fine) via my Kaiser on AT&T with MediaNet. It works better than it ever did with my 8525. I do notice that I do have 2 separate Connections, one for MEdiaNet and the other called "My ISP" which both point to the same wap.cingular APN. Not sure why I have 2, but everything works fine. The MediaNet one is "hidden" and I can't change it. The My ISP one is visible, but I don't want to delete it since everything seems to work fine. It just switches between them (albeit unnecessarily) to make things work when needed.

Furthermore, I am using wap.cingular exclusively. If you do connect to a VPN, you must use isp.cingular. The normal MediaMax, MediaNet and smartphone plans give you wap.cingular. The PDA plans give you isp.cingular. Blackberry plans may give you neither (they go to blackberry.net).

Thanks
Can I ask what port # you are using for your Slingbox? I am using 5001 for one of mine. Did you have to make a rule entry in your router or firewall? I am just trying to determine why suddenly I cannot connect. I am going to pop my SIM card back into my 8525 when I get home and check it again. The last time I tried it on the 8525 it worked. The trouble is, there aren't a lot of changes to make. it's pretty much wap.cingular and the password.
Thanks, and if you think of anything else, please let me know.
Rob

my slingbox works just fine on att. WHen i had the isp.cingular it did not. i had to change it to wap.cingular to get it to work.

Hmmm, don't know th eport off hand, but I want to say i'm justusing the default.

Did you upgrade to the new Slingbox firmware the past couple of days?
I did and could not connect. I called Slingmedia and they told me they had some issus with the new firmware and UpnP settngs in some routers.
I had to go into the Slingbox settings on the desktop PC and manually open the port in the router. If you call them they will take you step by sep

I had the same problem it took me 10 hrs to finally find the answer. It has nothing to do with your port your finder ID at all. like the a previous stated you need to use a different connection setting to use slingbox. Use or create the my isp connection. the only difference is one use proxy settings and one does not. to be honest i just deleted the media net profile and used my isp exclusively. the only problem is medianet keeps showing up in my connection settings. the medianet setting can also screw with push email retrieval

Thanks so much NJXBEAN! I could NOT get Slingplayer to connect until I made that change in the modem settings. It works great now!

Proxy was blocking me...
After experimenting with mine further, I was FINALLY able to connect by unchecking the "use proxy server" setting on my unlocked Kaiser. I wonder if the AT&T "Tilt" build of the OS will even allow this?

AT&T Tilt and Slingbox
Right out of the box, Slingplayer worked on my Tilt. I made no changes to the proxy settings.
I have the media net unlimited plan.

It could be a firewall issue. If the connection you have is listed as "Connects to the Internet" it'll block some ports. If you have Connects to Work, it'll open all ports.

I just just want to say that you guys are great! I had a problem with sling, researched on it here, and found the problem without asking..People, u gotta love it!!!!!!

have you found a fix, i have the x7500 and my slingbox worked fine at first then after a couple of months it just stopped and i could not receive email either, i found a workaround for the email but i have not found a work around for the slingbox.
P.S. i recored myself talking to an at&t rep you should listen to what he says

Found a Fix
It cannot connect to isp.cingular, you need to ADD wap.cingular apn to your network settings.

If you just make your default connection Media Net it's already going to be set for wap.cingular
isp.cingular is the default only if you have it set to use ATT ISP as your connection.

Wow, I want slingbox now. I didn't even think of it working on my Tilt....is the data transfer extreme????????

Network management problem with blackberry bis installed

Hi Guys,
I'm using the blackberry bis service to receive and send emails as per company policy but also using activesync via exchange server to sync calender, tasks and contacts.
As such I have blackberry mobile and mobile web data connections.
For this to work I've changed some settings within network management so that both programs that connect automatically to the internet should use mobile web and programs that connect to a private network use mobile web.
This seems to ensure the correct connections are available to activesync?
Everything was working perfectly of a number of days using these settings but now my network management settings seem to reset themselves to use the blackberry mobile connection and activesync can never find the exchange server. I also can't get QuickGPS to work now, just get connection failed error message.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

How to force activesync to use only wifi

Is there some way to force activesync to use the wifi connection only? When wifi isn't connected activesync and, i'm assuming other apps, revert back to 3G or GPRS. My data plan is crap so I'd prefer not to sync at all when I don't have wifi available. I'm using dutty's latest rom, btw.

Google search says: http://www.wifizard.com/tutorialsXP/sync/index.htm

Thats an old article and no longer works for local connections to your computer. When MS released WM5 and the new activesync (which WM5 requires) the feature to sync over WiFi was removed. We were left with with syncing over USB, Bluetooth. If you have an exchange server you can sync to it over WiFi (the only feature you loose is Push Email).

Thanks for the replies. I should clarify my situation though. I sync to an exchange server and an imap server with no problem. But I have it scheduled to sync on a regular basis. So, if wifi isn't available then activesync will automatically use my data connection. I'm looking for a way to have it only use wifi and never the data connection. If wifi isn't available, I don't want to sync.

Disable your data connections completely

Wireless ON & GPRS keep connecting

Hi,
I have a problem with the GPRS and Wireless connection. I am using Windows Live mail and and set it up so it is manually synchronized! Same with other mail accounts.
But, every time I connect to the internet using wireless and then press Send/Recieve, it keeps opening GPRS and use it to retrieve new e-mails and ignores my wireless connection!!! Which is really annoying.
How do I fix that?

I have exactly the same... but then with internet sharing with my laptop... keeps using my gprs/3g instead off the wifi that is 100 times faster.

annoying
and it is really annoying as you said, it is much faster with wifi and for people like me where I do not have monthly GPRS data included, it's really annoying and costs a lot.
Earlier, I had my e-mail to automatically download new emails daily and suddenly, I got a huge phone bill because of that problem!! So, e-mails are downloaded manually now until I fix the problem!!

You can find the answer here:

Newer Windows Live always tries to connect using your default Internet Connection even when you are already online. To solve this, you need to go to:
Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks. Change everything to My Work Network.
With this, Windows Live won't try to connect when you have active internet connection. The problem now is, if you have no active internet connection, it will force your device to connect to your gprs/3g but will fail to work. You will need to reset the setting above to your gprs/3g connection.

yes but
Yes but chaning preferences for my network would result in not having my mms working, or gprs when I need it?
However, I have to go back to settings and change everything again to get things to work!!!! I would rather have a solution than a workaround

not working

I tried your solution but the phone tries to connect using MMS connection and of course windows live mail fails to download emails even though my wifi is on and connected!! It just ignores the wifi??

Have you tried NoDATA with HTC Diamond with WM6.1?? NoData seems to be an old cab file for older versions of WM?
