Hi, I have done a lot of searching on this topic, but haven't been able to find anything definitive on the best way to install blackberry connect. I am about to pick up a Siemens SX66 (Cingular version, but will be using on Tmobile) and want to make sure that I will be able to get the blackberry functionality to work.
I have a few questions/comments/observations that I would love to get everyones feedback on. If there something out there that explains how to get it working, I am sorry and please feel free to point me in the right direction.
1. My understanding is that the blackberry connect software is in the extended rom. So far I have been able to find the following cab files which I believe have the blackberry software: htc_pocketpc_tmo_germany_2.0.0.25-18.cab, HTC_PocketPC_TMO_Austria_Germany_Load_Working.cab and htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab. Not sure what else is in here, but it looks like the blackberry client is there as well.
2. If I use one of those roms, what language will the software be? Will have to use the tmobile UK version for english?
3. I have been reading about people have problems with the phone rom. These are post from a while back, it seems that the UK blackberry client need version 1.0 and the german version need 1.06? Is this correct or can I use the lasted phone rom?
4. Is there any limitations on the System Rom or Extended Rom? Do I need a specific version? I want to make sure I have english on the device though.
5. Let's say I do get all the right software. Is there a problem in the US where Blackberry won't register Blackberry Connect PINs? I was reading in another forum that someone was having a problem with this on their SX66 and also I am upgrading from a Sony Ericsson P910a where I couldn't get my PIN added to Blackberry servers.
The main reason I want the device is to replace my blackberry and this is extremely important. Other functionality is awesome, but secondary as I need to make sure I have access to my corporate email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
There are 2 threads in the blue angel section that have Blackberry connect ih the title. Might be of help.
Thanks saw those posts after, I figured the info would be in this section. I posted some questions there as well, but any help would be appreciated. Not sure if this is going to work....oh well..
To the best of my knowledge...
NOBODY has been able to make the BB Connect software work on SX66 on Cingular.
I've all but given up. Maybe WM2005 will be different...
Crap, though I take it the problem is Cingular not the phone right? Do you know if anyone has been able to get it to work on T-Mobile? What is the problem you are having, is it the PIN / IMEI registration issue?
that's certainly a part of it...
pin/imei, software (nothing supported). The blackberry connect desktop software for XDA2 is a couple years old and does not let you change the PIN.
No way to configure, so you're hosed. The O2 software on the pocket pc is also locked to an O2 blackberry APN. No way to change that either.
It's possible that somebody somewhere has taken the T-Mobile German MDAIII software -- and somehow obtained the T-Mobile desktop software -- and translated both --
but I doubt it! Definitely not to be found anywhere on this site...
Of course, I'D LOVE TO BE PROVEN WRONG, as this has been the biggest issue for me since I got this bloody device.
Bottom line: either use the crap XpressMail redirector product that Cingular offers, or use IMAP/POP on a "pull" basis. Neither way works well. We're screwed until Cingular steps up to the plate or until some brave soul on this board saves us all!

Umm i hate to say this but also that PIN number is alos tied to a carrier, and RIM will NOT release that PIN number to be used on another carrier's network, i know, i am a data support rep with Cingular. if you want something just like the Blackberry then go pay and get the GoodLink solution, otherwise i wouldnt complain about something free that cingular offers, I use it and i agree it isnt the best but works pretty damn well considering it FREE!!! for the PErsonal Edition. Besides, if you wanted to use the BWC (BlackBerry Web client) it isnt exactly Push either, the only forms available are the Redirector and the BES, but considering Congular is offering a solution for FREE i woulnt complain if i were you. If you wanna get mad at not having that solution get mad at RIM not Cingular...... :!:
Re: that's certainly a part of it...
Well I have the desktop software in english and just installed the german software on my sx66. I think I got it to connect but its hard to tell. Iwonder if there is any other software out there....

Damm, I actually just found the software for 2.0 software for Tmobile UK. Now it only gets an IP address for two seconds then looses it. I think its the same problem I had with my p910a I can't get the server to recognize it.
Please prove me wrong!
Figure out how to make this work, and you'll be the hero of every Cingular / SX66 user on this board!
I am getting much closer now, I hacked (hex edit) one of the dll files to point to an IP address of 206.51.26.192 instead of 206.51.26.189. I know the .192 is the right address from my old blackberry. Now I actually stay live on the APN with an IP address and everything, where before I would get one for a second and get kicked out. I think it's a matter of registering it now. If anyone wants to try this dll, replace the one in the windows directory. Also I will upload the version of blackberry connect I am using... Please try as well...
Here is the dll I mentioned...replace this with the one in windows directory
Seem s like you are getting somewere on this issue.
Feel like writing a How to so that we can post it on wiki?
If you need help PM me I can also move what ever files that you like on the FTP site.
Thanks, just haven't gotten it to work totally yet, but that may just need a call to Tmobile to ask them to set it up. I have made progress in the fact that my blackberry.net apn now stays connected, where before it would disconnect after a minute or two. I think I am half way there. Need some more people to play around who have tried before to see if they get anywhere...
Can you also post the desktop software version you're using?
There hasn't been a recent posting of the BB Config software in quite some time...
Thanks!
It's too large, check the ftp server. look for somethign called bb_desktop_sw_mda3_20.exe It's up there somewhere.... poke around uploads as well...
Oh wait... I got it from tmobile directly, hehehe...

So you're using the German version?
Make it work, and I won't care what language it's in!
I agree, first I tried the german one, before I found the Tmobile Uk one. Did you try downloading everything and installing?
yup...
still can't make it work on my end... although I haven't changed anything in Hex...
Try the dll I fixed up also, let me know if it makes any difference....
My O2 XDA IIs is second-hand, un-locked and partially/occassionally/not working with my Orange PAYG sim.
Tech stuff:
Rom 1.40.00 WWE
Radio 1.12.00
Protocol 1337.42
Ext Rom 1.40.242
What does work or doesn't work...
Well, I can occasionally make a call, but I am just as likely to get three tones in my ear (Ping ping ping) and the call ends before even getting to the dialling code. No idea what the three pings are meant to mean apart from'You are not going to be connected mate!'.
I can use internet explorer when I have the XDA in the cradle, but it just says 'connecting' permanently when I am out and about, but gives me no reason why it won't connect.
I can't send or receive texts, just get a 'failed' message.
When I go from a no-signal to a strong signal area it is purely random whether the XDA tries to find a signal or not. It will quite happily just sit there swearing blind that there is no signal.
Would putting in an O2 sim solve all these problems?
Is there anyone out there happy with the XDA IIs?[/quote]
IMHO your Blueangel is locked to O2 search the forums and you will find ways to unlock it
I ran an unlocker and the XDA has stopped complaining about the sim. Do you mean there is a further lock of some sort?
M8...if you came here just to rant about it just forget it!..... it just might be that these more advanced machines are not for you!
Its obvious your xda is not setup properly for what you want!
Now... if you have a problem just post it and preople will try to help....
No need to ask people if thewre is one that actually works...this forum if full of threads about it....do some research...and you never know ...you might come across some usefull information about the problems you are having :wink:
further to this I currently have two of these on the latest o2 rom and both work like a charm.

Finally working
Thankfully I found someone with experience in these units today and having replaced a faulty battery pack it is finally working correctly.
But thanks agent003 for showing once again that the world is full of guys able to sum up a total situation based on zero information and prove what complete and utter A-holes they are. Thanks M8
No Sweat m8.... Just like you I have also had times like this that you just feel like busrsting the bubble
Its just so easy to loose your rag over it m8!
Im happy the machine is now working for you as it should (thats an understatement :wink: ).

Hello,
I've been following this forum for several months now and I've been studying how to flash and what can possibly go wrong and I now just about feel comfortable with trying it myself.
I really want to try Ausdim and Eliasweb's ROMs but I still have one question...
Quite a while ago I downloaded a file called "htcp3600-NWW_France_Setup" which should see to my network settings if I understood correctly but the thing is I quite often go to Spain and seeing as I have the SFR World option my service provider hands control over to one of their partner networks in Spain and the same happens when I go to England.
With a cooked ROM is this still possible or would I have to file some other files to allow me to use my phone in other countries??
Thank you very much for your help.
Doesn't anybody know??? Please... A little help will be greatly appreciated.
It's the same.
Bye.
theres a software called setup operator ! do a search for that it'll sort your problem out, i think!
HTC connection setup thats it ! it got loads a countries and providers
Thanks for the answers
I just had a look at Ausdim's V3 Full and I see the program you said (HTC Connection Setup) is already integrated so it looks like everything will run smoothly
I can't understand why so simple things cannot be resolved in the life.
I can understand that an operator can decide to don't give some feature, but for what I understood the things should be like this:
1. all UK operators like 3, vodafone, t-mobile offers access to internet for pay and go customers. O2 says not, or that a lot of mobiles do not support it.
Now. I was with polaris/touch cruise able to surf with explorer and use google maps, just problems to update the weather in the main screen. And was ok for me.
Now, I switch to Diamond, the result? i cannot surf anymore and use google maps! Now the answer should be to swith to 3, but I needed O2 and is problematic to switch. Of course I will do if I won't find a solution.
So my question is, have you found a solution to surf and use google maps with O2 payandgo even on the Diamond?
if not, I'm stupid or how is possible that in 2008 a device should be not able to connect to service of O2, I mean, how is possible that O2 says that is the device not supported or that don't support them etc etc, I mean, who is wrong here, is O2 that is doing the possible to don't give this service to us or what? if is so, nobody did something to sign a petition and ask them to do what their competitors do, even more expensively, but with every UK operator is possible to surf, why just with O2 not!!!! Payandgo.
Let me know please.
if I need to flash the ROM, change, upgrade, or whatever you want to let it work let me know.
Thank you in advance,
your disperately,
payandgo... go.. go..
I would check your setting are the same as when you had the polaris/touch cruise, other than that you really need to change operator
Usually for paygo they route the internet using a different APN. This is usually because they block certain ports.
The operators usually say 'this device isnt suported' because their automatic system isnt able to SMS the provisioning to your phone. That doesnt mean you can't edit it manually.
Just copy the connection settings from another phone where it works onto your diamond.
It sounds like the auto setup in the diamond is using some different APN or a proxy, and your old device didnt.
of course I do manual settings... cannot work with the automatic that are into the htc.
I'm waiting some angel here of the forum that can help, for sure a lot of londiners are facing same problem with O2 and have some solution.
the exact same settings work fine on which other phone?
Or are you saying it just doesnt work any more no matter what phone you use?
Htc Touch Pro was working but I lost the settings and with the one found in forums doesnt work the Diamond
so I need settings from somebody that setted already the Diamond that is new, and for sure are the same but I do not have it and I need to find so I can set it manually.
Have you tried these?
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Both contract and paygo. Also it really would help if you gave some more information like what settings you using already.
This is my third post and i still have no idea what your exact problem is. Yeah sure you can't get GPRS working in some way, but i don't know what way, and what settings your using - and so the possible cause.
Hello, the MDA Vario 3 has since newest one what I like really well. Indeed, I immediately have problems with him.
Problem 1: I can`t call. So I have no receipt and I had in the middle of my house where I imemr receipt. On other places, for example, in the city centre I also had nobody. Can somebody say to me what this lies with?
Problem 2: How I must do it that if I have connected my mobile phone in the PC, I can go about the PC with the mobile phone to the Internet.
Problem 3: How I must connect with the mobile phone that I have Internet. So how must the settings be to it?
Problem 4: I have struck up on the mobile phone now the newest T-Mobile update, but if I QuickGPS start does not stand there \ " any more valid \ ". Does somebody have an alternative one which is free and I see my location on a map?
P.S. Have the newest T-Mobile update on Windows Mobile 6.1
Double posting in the same forum on the same page within a few hours is not a good way to get an answer.
