I've got my GPRS always on running MSN Messenger, which should also keep TCP/IP running. Lasts at least a day if it is mostly in standby and the reception is good.
Re: On the T-Mobile sites in Germany
I tried to upgrade with the MDAiii Blackberry s/w fromt-mobile.
I first got a country id error that I worked around
Then got a device data error that I again worked around ut thi sgave me error: 116 general error so I had to give up.
Need some more help on this one.
I got this from HTC directly:
"The new product with Blackberry Connect S/W will lunch to the market later. Due to contracts with our customers, we can't to disclose further information and details. As soon as product launch to market, you will find more info on that for sure."
So it looks like we need to wait!
Interesting posting. I am also VERY VERY interested in using BB for my MDAc. Are there any news regarding the "right" .exe which will run with our "Baby"? At the T-Mobile page are too much that I really don't know how to handle the right one. Maybe any User Guide available, please?
Very interesting
Very very interesting....
But I have a look at the t-mobile link and I couldn't see any mention of blackberry in that new rom - is it there?
I too eagerly await the arrival of BB connect for the Jam. I hate swapping my sim card back and forth between the JAM and Blackberry.
Any news or progress on this? I'd also like to install Blackberry Connect on my Magician.
I'm a little confused with Blackberry. I know it's concept as I used to sell it very briefly for Vodafone. If I set my Pocket Outlook to check for mail every 3 minutes and keep my GPRS on, what is the advantage of Blackberry besides saving me 2 and a half minutes of waiting for my e-mail?
the battery of blackberries last at least 10 times longer with gprs on whole day etc
BB Connect for Magician
Yes it is going to be finally out, most of the parties have already reached an agreement with RIM and Nokia would be launching BB Connect for their N9300 and N9500 later this month. From what I understand, BB connect for magician is currently undergoing testing by the telcos in Singapore.
FYI, the current BB connect that we are testing in Singapore is currently very secure as there is a global system wipe which can be sent via sms to your device to hardreset unit just in case it is lost.
o2techie, that is great news! Please keep us informed once an install is available.
Hi folks,
i found on a T-mobile Site in Austria the following Software for the magician: the long awaited blackberry connect software update
http://www.t-mobile.at//business/mobiles_arbeiten/download/bbconnect/index.html
Now I have the following question: Does this software work also for the German verison. I am unable to ask T-Mobile Germany, since I do not have an T-Mobile phone number.
Thanks for your help.
What benefit would Blackberry provide, except for the push email concept we already got through the latest Exchange server update?

The long awaited answer, at least for me is yes, Yes YES! it works!!! BUT there are a few drawbacks. Read the rest of the post before downloading the software.
Firstly the website warns very specifically to download only the German update for germany and the austrian update for austrian mdac's. otherwise the compact could break and they probably wouldn't refund.
As far as I know it only works on the t-mobile system, i have no idea about Vodafone or O²
The compact gets a new rom:
Rom Version now is 1.13.01 GER and ROM date is 08/18/05
ExtRom becomes 1.13.130.
Installing the client software is easy setting it up not quite so easy, (at least for me). The Blackberry (BB) Client software then gives the compact its own blackberry id which you have to register at www.instantemail.t-mobile.de. - Again this only works for the German T-mobile system (as its a german website).
Also don't forget to have the blackberry push service set up for you by t-mobile. I messed around with this for a week before getting it to work properly. The T-mobile support couldn't help because the software has not been released here yet.
I am so pleased that this works. I, like alot of others, have been waiting for this since the beginning of the year. Finally the Compact is the all round machine that it was meant to be.

I think people want this cos it's the only thing some other people have over us magician owners. Honestly I can't see how it would be any improvement.
What's annoying me, though, is that Vodafone Australia have stopped charging their GPRS by the kb and are now charging $1 every 5 minutes you're online! I guess this is better for all the kiddies downloading new games and stuff to their nokias but it means I can't automatically check for e-mails every 3 mins like I was.
When I rang them, they tried to sell me a blackberry handset and put me on their blackberry data+calls plan which isn't available for smart phone users. I told them to shove it cos my phone's heaps better than a blackberry and then asked them when they were bringing in the service for PDA/Smartphone users like Vodafone Germany's website has.
I swear, if I could see the girl at the other end of the phone line she would've had the most stupid, blank, glazed over look on her face! She had no idea!
there is already also an bb update on the german t-mobile site, i found it yesterday night surfing trhough the T-Mobile Site: http://www.t-mobile.de/business/blackberry/software

Been testing on O2 EXEC
How do I cancel the bluetooth pairing code request everytime I tried to pair a device( happen on bluetooth HID mouse always)
Eventhough unchecked the passkey require box in the menu...
The code request still pop up!
Strange thing is, same device pair with laptop doesn't require passkey at all... and the munual for the device didn't say anything about the code at all...
Tried the default code "0000"(not sure, manual didn't say)...
Anyone have any idea of this?
Or anyone does know how to edit the registry to cancel the pairing code request?
regards!
To: parkertseng
Hi. Sorry no solution to your problem, but just to ask again: mikeycollins asked you on the 20th, how you managed to get an Exec already, as they are not officially released?
You did'nt reply, so just in case you didn't check that thread again for a possible answer to your previous question, I thought I'd ask you in this one.
I'm quite intrigued aswell. I know we all only have two more weeks to go until the official launch, but If you would be as kind as to share your experience in getting a pre-release model, I'm sure we'd all be grateful! Cheers
hi mackaby,
i got this device from my friend in Taiwan...
Not the officail one...
he is an engineer from HTC...
guess that will be the only adcvantage to be Taiwanese..
Ha!
it came with the WEE rom and i flash it with CHT rom..
i knew that everyone is expecting this....only to EXEC
becase of the outstanding colour.....
eventhough there will be a DOPOD 900 release in Taiwan...
I'd still like EXEC...
Hi parkertseng.
You lucky man! Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us.
Just a thought, if your friend is an engineer on these things, wonder if he can give us all some answers to some of the problems we're all encountering. What I'm really saying is; even though his direct line of work may not require him having all the techie-knowledge for the software problems we're having......but if someone on this forum would for example compile a short but concise list of major issues with the Universal, would he be prepared to try and get some answers from his fellow engineers who may know? A kind of informal, one-off technical support thing?
Would you ask him? or is that asking too much?
In any event, thanks again for sharing thus far.

Can you tell me how you flush with CHT ROM , do you had Dopod 900 CHT ROM ? it ship.exe or dump rom ? thanks
I have the same problem or similar - I can pair with a device without entering a passcode and with authentication turned off but the window keeps popping up asking for a passcode.
Can anyone help?
Hi all,
I would be buying a HTC P3600 in Dubai soon. The HTC site and the dealers here say that the trinity does not have a GPS.
Have read on this forum that having GPS is just a ROM update away. Having said that, how difficult (or easy) is it to flash the phone considering that I am an abject novice with PPC?
I would also love to have WM6 (with GPS ofcourse) on my phone. I know there is a ROM floating around this forum.
Here in Dubai we are not bound to any service providers so I will be buying an unlocked phone, so will the updated ROM work in my case?
Looking forward to the replies and do keep up the excellent work. This forum is one of the driving factors behind my decision to buy an HTC phone.
Warm regards,
Hiren

Great, now I look forward to buying the phone. Will keep the forum posted on my progress or lack of it .
I confirm there's no problem at all, even for non experts like me.
Just download the new rom from HTC site (50 MB), connect the P3600 , run the downloaded file and wait 10 minutes.
The only advise is to do a back-up of your P3600, as the upgrade will cancell everything.

If you buy a new Trinity/P3600 now, it may well come with GPS enabled anyway.
When you get it, tap Start/Settings, then the System tab (bottom of the settings screen) and then tap Device Information.
The 1st tab in Devcie Info is 'Version' and has a list of the ROM versions installed. Look at the Radio Version: if it ends in **.11, the GPS is already enabled. HTC's current ROM is 1.38.00.11, but ROM's from 1.30.00.11 were GPS enabled. If yours ends in **.10, then you need to update the Radio ROM.
Before going any further, and changing to WM6, which is still 'unofficial' and invalidates your warranty, I'd suggest getting familiar with the device and the OS. The differences between later versions of WM5 and WM6 are minimal!

Managed to check out the ROM of the Trinity's available in Dubai, its ending with .11, so that means its a GPS enabled one.
Now only if I had an idea about the other phones issues, I'd go out and buy one.

2 of 'em actually. One is the motherboard and the other is the flaking paints.
I don't have long nails but I did try scratching the phone at the store but the paint did not chip off.
My heart is still set on this phone though. I will soon be going back to India (another couple of months) and I'm not sure whether 2 months are enough to get the issues fixed. The other alternative would be to wait for the Kaiser but time frame is still unknown.

For what concerns the paint, buy it white, it is not as beautiful as the black one, but at least it does not have this problem

Yeah, thats an option but only as a last resort.
Is there anyway to get Blackberry connect to work on the TC? I've tried downloading it on the phone and activating it, but it just says pending?
If not what are some better ways of getting email to my TC besides Outlook thats built in!
Simply not at the moment....
Sorry I have tried everything but nothing do do...
We need to wait until a big company like voda, swisscom etc desides to support the Polaris.
Blackberry is blocked with a build number and exact Windows version from Microsoft including device type.
Have a good day
Romabn
New Rom comming soon
Hi, just got my Orbit 2 a couple of days ago from a shop. I told the guy that i wanted BB connect, and he said they didn't support it on the polaris. Then he told me (about 3 or 4 times) to keep an eye on the software update in the next days...i ask him and looks like this could be BB connect or WM7.
lets keep and eye and cross fingers!!

Orbit 2 update
Hi guys, sorry not yet...
What do you guys think
DO you think that its possible that BBC will ever be available for the Polaris. I tried the BBC on wife Touch and it works so i tot it would be the same as well for the Polaris so i took a gamble and went to buy it when its available. Unfortunately, it didnt work......so loss the gamble, but it is a nice and light device as compared to my Kaiser.
What do you guys think. Any hope.
Blabckberry Connect
Hi,
I have understood that the Blackberry connect must work without problems on any WM6 device.
I'm just wait to conform this to by a TOUCH CRUISE. Please can anyone comfirm if BB Connect WORK or NOT WORK on Touch Cruise and why?
Thanks in advance

Not at the momment. But im hopeful as i have a smartphone vox and it was working then after a while it stopped working. However, maybe some operator have got the vox to be able to work, and from then onwards it started to work. I guess i may be wrong but its perhaps the build number is different as i reason to believe that the current windows devices are ver 6 and the tc is 6.1, maybe thats why it is not working, as i have tried the bb connect on the htc touch aka elf and it worked flawlessly, so best bet is to see when a suitable windows 6.1 cab is release perhaps ver .92 or .93 then the tc will work.
BB Connect and Cruise
Thanks a lot....! I wait for confirmation on BB Connect before buy Cruise......
About BBC ... Guys! BBC check your OS Version and Device ID!! If you use custom Roms and they have a newer OS Version or a bad modded Device ID, you cant connect to the bbc network! Most time it works with the Original delivered rom only!
HTC Niki works with BBC 4.0, but it doesnt with a new cooked Rom.
Next ... if your Cell Phone Provider hasnt the right to use BBC 4.0, the Black Berry Network drops your PIN and you cant connect again!
You see ... a lot of parameters and licencings can make troubles!
Ergo ... if you use WM6.1 -> BBC drops your PIN!!!
BBC with brand new HTC Cruise......?

I just need to know, if with a out of the box Touch Cruise in Spain, I will be able to use on Vodafone net, BBC with my company BB Enterprise.
I understand in the message of xphobic that HTC Touch Cruise comes with WM 6.1, Is that correct?
Thanks

I'm a BB-connect user, but I'm thinking of buying the Touch Cruise. My network, Rogers supports BB-connect. Will BB-connect work? This is an important feature for me.
Hi, neither Rogers or Fido support BBC for anything other than nokia. You can install BBC but it will not generate a PIN. If anyone got to generate a PIN please let me know.
I'm running BB-connect on my Nokia E90. It generated a PIN automatically and I've been running it for the past two months. I need to know if the Touch Cruise supports BB-connect as well.
I was not able to set it up.

I had a response from someone quite senior in o2 in the UK - they do not intend to support Blackberry connect because RIM are stopping development on the client.

On a distribution WWE rom yes, on any other ROM, no.
I haven't heard of anyone able to get BBC working on the Cruise. This was discussed in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376889
Another place where this was discussed is here:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
I'm getting mixed answers. Some say it'll work with original ROM, not with cooked, some say it wont work at all. I'm worried now, I'm picking up a TC like tomorrow, and this is an important feature for me.

Possible in Germany on o2's release ROM I read somewhere.
If you are not using a release WM6 Pro Rom it wont work has been my experience with other devices.
o2 UK say that RIM are about to stop developing for the BBC for Windows Mobile and so they say they are no longer going to offer BBC support for new models.

Just wanted to start a thread and say I have tried version .106 which was working on every ROM i tried n my touch HD but no go on the TP2. Anyone else have luck with a particular version?
Same problem here. I was able to get a pin with version .103 but it would not connect to the network.

As stated in the first post, version .106 of BlackBerry Connect won't work (no PIN). Tried it myself too.
Thanks for the reply though. Hope we'll get a fix for this soon so I can get rid of my TYTN II.
Would love to see BB Connect work on the TP2, as my plan comes w/ BIS, and from what I understand, BB Connect would allow me to use the unlimited BIS internet/email (right?)
ouch....
that will hurt big time... as my htc tytn died completely before i decided to buy the pro 2.
Will no change in the registry or something help, like we used to do in the TyTn?

nope, tried the standard reg hacks
has anyone tried asking customer support at HTC for a temporary solution?
btw, am getting my phone tomorrow - have been tracking DHL...
no but from past experience they are not very helpful and will probably state it isn't supported. All devices seem to go through this then they are magically supported and a version is released. I have been using exchange push emaul option and it works great. the only difference for me is that my company uses 4 character passwords for blackberry and 8 for exchange.
got my htc tp2. installed bbconnect 106 and the device is connected - has a pin. On the flip side, its been some time since i sent my service books, it has none in the list!
after a few hours of waiting and also one soft reset, the connection is established.
The settings page shows - Data Tunnel Available - but it does not go into connected mode.
However the services page does not have anything listed yet.
Any smart brains around?
i contacted HTC support, and this is what they wrote back! ... hmm.... - looong wait....
Thank you for contacting HTC Corporation Middle East Support
With regards to your inquiry, kindly be informed that the BlackBerry software is not available for your device at the moment so kindly check our website periodically for any updates about this software or your can search the internet for a compatible software with your model and the Windows Mobile version or you can contact your network operator to check with them

Is the Blackberry connect software dependent on HTC or our mobile carrier? (or doesn't it matter).
Would really be handy to get the unlimited BB internet on the TP2.

carrier i believe. I think there is a range of IMEE or something software related that passes through the carrier and if the BB connect software version youa re running doesnt report the right things then it doesnt work. Not sure if I am right or not but i thought that is how i understood it.
hi guys, tp2 just bought and sadly realized that bbconnect doesn't work. any news form your side?
Please dont let this thread to be forgotten. Surely there are capable people at xda-developers who will find a solution for this. It has been solved for the blackstone so I hope the solution for Rhodium is on its way.

the reason it was solved for the Blackstone is because HTC put out a version for it This is standard for new devices. You will just have to wait. I hate it too but is how it is.
