Hi,
I have data plan with Blackberry service unlimited(for email with BBconnection) + 1GB Internet (over another connection).
The problem is that BBConnect works as service and its connection is almost all time active and changes with inet connection only when i browse, yuotube or use some inet programs and no way to use programs that required permanent internet connection .
I use BBConnect for only 1 email account (not enterprise) and forward all email to this one.
Another plan for the same money is 3GB Internet .
And I be faced with a dilemma - if I use this plan everything seem be OK - one alltime connection, no obstacle another connection , but I don't make choice how to use email:
- use SEVEN as push email service (i tried for 2-3 days together with BBConnect and battery drains very fast)...
- use ordinary way (pop3 accounts, check every 5 minutes )
- use microsoft direct push in conjunction with mail2web as an example
- use imap push or something else
pls help me guys to make right choice.
p.s. sorry for my bad english ...

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.

Hello everybody !
I have a problem!! I use the TyTn II sometimes to connect to my home WiFi with no problem ......but I cannot connect in the university library.
It picks up the networks etc, and I add my user name and password,
But no luck...
The university support staff are often reluctant to support different devices. I wonder if 'certificates' are needed but I was told that the university does not use them.
I was also told to download to my PC then to the Tytn II, certchk.exe because if cancels the need for certificates. I think certchk.exe is not available for Mobile Windows 5 and 6.....
The final thing I can't solve, is that I use Microsoft ActiveSynch with Outlook2007 on the PC. Outlook 2007 itself is synchronised with the Exchange Server, and I would like to synch directly.
I can see how to do that...
but I get this error / support code - 80072ee2
I have searched about the code but not found a solution yet.
I was hoping to find a way to synch with the Exchange Server using,
1. my PC via a cable, ( done that ! )
2. my PC using WiFi and use MSN..
3. via GPRS when I am out and about,
4. via WiFi when I am out and about, and I find a WiFi service to use.
Should I be able to achieve all of these?
Any help appreciated!

The issue with the exchange server I used to get on my old phone the 8125. When I switched from WAP to ISP the problem went away.
I just switched over to Tilt last night and sync it with my exchange server, it syncs all the time with no issues.
where did you get the software for MSN?
hi jallenclark!
thanks for your super quick reply..
please tell me more... "When I switched from WAP to ISP the problem went away. "
I understand WAP and my ISP is the internet providor in the city, the exchange server is managed by the university.
The MSN that I use came with the Kaiser. I do remember it working when I had finished charging the battery... but not used it since.
Ofiaich
I am using the Tilt which is a slight different version so I don't have the MSN software to play with.
Who is your provider for cell service? I use ATT, they have to different ways to connect to their internet. One is called WAP and on is called ISP. They are suppose to be the same speed. ISP allows audio and video streaming where I believe WAP doesn't. There are other differences that I can't remem ber one of the dealing with my exchange server. I am still playing with my phone cause I just got it last night, most of my information is old because I haven't read up on the phones much since the 8125 came out.
Hi!
I use Vodafone UK.. I think the connection says 'contract internet'
I will give them a call and see what they say...
Thanks!

Has anybody tried these two options?
I've been playing with hotmail push (configuring windows live for getting emails "as they arrive"), but it seems to drain battery very fast... then I've changed configuration for checking email every 15 minutes...
Which option drains more battery?.... activesync exchange push configuration?, or hotmail checking every 15 minutes?
Thanks!
It's not pushmail that drains your battery it's your data connection.
Pushmail is only a piece of software that keeps an open connection to a mail server. No difference between hotmail and exchange pushmail.
HSDPA is using a hell of a lot more power then GPRS. Try switching HSDPA off and use GPRS instead.
I've disabled 3G, always use GPRS.... does HSDPA setting affect if I've disabled 3G???
Does Live Push work same way as Activesync push email?, maybe one of them uses more cpu, I dont know, the data connection may be open, but the programs running can do different things (Live vs AS), and therefore the battery drain...
If I use Windows live (items as arrive), everytime I soft reset the kaiser I get a lot of data connection errores until I enter my sim pin... continnnnnnnnuously... but this is not happening if you use Exchange push...
My company disabled activesync so in order to keep my phone i am forced to use blackberry connect with my kaiser. A few questions.
I changed my data plan from medianet to the blackberry enterprise plan. I have noticed that my slingbox no longer works. DO i need to change my data settings? My browser however works fine but seems slower since the switch. i currently use wap.cingular. any other things i need to know regarding using blackberry connect with my Kaiser? Thanks!
A few things...
run the latest version (i believe it's 103)
disable the proxy connection
the phone establishes a connection to blackberry for the blackberry service and media.net for the internet - recommend you use a rom image that allows for HSPDA and two simeltaneous connections (6.1 Rom). Otherwise you will constantly get messages telling you blackberry connection blocked when using the internet.
Use activesync to sync your contacts with your pc - blackberry connect does not sync the extended fields in outlook
go into the carrier settings and set your blackberry to remove deleted messages from blackberry and server - unless you want to read the same messages multiple times
hopefully you don't have a requirement for a mandatory password

thanks for the info. Im using the Hyperdragon 6.1 rom so it should allow for 2 simultaneous connections.
How do i disable the proxy connection? also what do you mean by a requirement for a mandatory password? Thanks again!

Is this the latest trend? I just got an email from my job saying that they were cutting off active sync and that I should "Explore alternative mobile messaging platforms".

start, settings, connections, connections, manage existing connections, proxy, unclick this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet. (or use the remove transparent proxy cab)
the blackberry enterprise server can enforce a password policy on your tilt....which would require that you unlock your phone with a password every time you want to use it.
Also, it's a good idea to get the latest htc task manager. The older version has a bug when unlocking in landscape with blackberry connect.
so i noticed that once i switched to the blackberry enterprise plan, i could no longer tether with my phone. i tried to switch to the blackberry enterprise plus tethering plan, however they claimed they could not attach this plan to my account and therefore could not tether. I need the enterprise plan to connect to corp email. Anyone able to tether with the tilt and a blackberry enterprise data plan?
still looking for an answer. is anyone able to tether with a blackberry enterprise + tethering data plan?
