BB Connect on Rogers - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Anyone know if it's possible to get BB Connect working on the Rogers network in Canada? Have an XDA IIs and have BB Data set up on my Rogers account.
Got the BB Connect sw working, it generated a pin, etc., but couldn't get it to connect to the Desktop sw. I tried manually changing my pin in bwc as well but it wouldn't take the generated pin or the IMEI.
Talked to Rogers and they didn't seem to know much. They said something about RIM registering pins in thier database, but didn't have any definitive info.
Any ideas, or am I hooped until Rogers comes out with a Pocket PC device?

Weird, I was just looking at that today. Was going to install mymail on my xda IIs, but then decided just to use outlook pop3 polling instead. (heard that mymail is a serious power draw).
I'd love to hear if anyone has been able to get BB connect to work.

I am curious on how you got a PIN?
I have spoken with several Rogers reps and they definitely will not support it or help, although one of their techs told me that someone with a Nokia got the BB connect working. I will look through HOFO to see what I can dig up.
Once again, please explain how you got the PIN

The PIN is generated by the device, nased on some magic and the IMEI number. This is the unique identifier.
RIM can detect the software version and the operator being used to connect via - and they block any they consider to be 'unauthorised'. So it's not as simple as just copying the CAB file to your device and running it - the real issue is RIM being twits and not allowing anything to work unless your carrier pays the RIM tax (and then charges you of course!).
Occasionally some connections get through - but RIM are worse than the IRS - they WILL FIND YOU
:twisted:

I got the pin generate by just activating the BB Connect sw on my device.
I tried MyMail as well, but couldn't install the device software. This was really weird:
Installed the desktop sw, pointed it to my exchange server and it worked fine. It redirected all the emails to the mymail web client so I could see them there (similar to bwc). The problem was that I couldn't load the device software. It is only available via an OTA site. When I tried to get to the site from my browser, it always re-directed me to the regular MyMail home page. No one at Rogers, or Visto could send me the app itself, so I gave up.
groo - how does the outlook pop3 polling work?

I just entered my mailserver info in pocket outlook and set it to check for email every 5 mins.

Rogers MyMail

Has anyone been able to install Rogers' Mymail on their Blue Angel?
When I go to the site (mymail.rogers.com/ota) it doesn't give me an option to download the application.
- According to Rogers tech support, MyMail will not work on the BA (PDA2K for me).
- Since you must install the client APP through the browser on the PDA2K, it sees that you aren't using the HP 6325 and gives you an error message.
- This is based on what Rogers told me though, not from my own experience.
- I've been using GetMail on my PDA2K using the SX56 client for a couple of months, and am relectant to switch to MyMail unless there is some real advantiage to do so.
- Security issues aside, apparently MyMail can't be configured to dial-up only when user requested like GetMail. This is a drawback for since I need to "pull" e-mail when I want it, not every 5 minutes (or whatever specified time interval).
- If you do hear of someone getting the MyMail client for the HP running on their BA, let me know!!
Thanks,
Rombo

I guess there may be a registry hack to get IE to announce itself as an IPAQ?
I don't see how the software would be different...[/code]
Where can I find getmail?
- Strange that they've taken it off the Rogers site already. I guess since it was replaced by MyMail, there is no longer a need for it?
- I can e-mail you the two GetMail .exe files, then you would need Rogers tech support to walk you through the install, since I don't recall which you need to install first.
- The files are 5.5MB and 2.9MB

Different answers
Hey guys, I got different answers from Rogers. I've tried three times to get the device app installed, and the last two times I just told them I had an IPAQ 6325. Seems the Rogers Navigate browser provides a direct link to the /ota site, while regular PPC browsers take you to the normal mymail website.
Does GetMail provide real time push? I've been using Smartner and it's not too bad, but only pushed every 10 minutes or so.
Groo - did Rogers walk you through the install?

the did walk me through the install. I told them that I had an Ipaq as well. They claimed that I was seeing the non-wap version of the page.. didn't make much sense... I'm sure the app asks the device to identify itself. I'm sure a simple registry entry could fool it... Not really sure if it's worth going any further..
I thought it might be a Wap thing, so I installed EZWap but got the same result.
How is GetMail working? Is it real time push?

I have no clue, still looking for the binaries for getmail
Rogers Getmail is pull mail only
I've been using the GetMail app with Rogers' Enhanced Wireless Desktop for about a year.
Last Thursday, something broke. When I called Rogers tech support, I was told that Enhanced Wireless Desktop had been decommissioned and that I would have to start using MyMail... There's a catch... Only Rogers-provided devices are permitted to download the .CAB file so I'm out of luck with my PDA2K since it's not a 'supported' Rogers device :evil: !
I told them I don't need them to support my device... Just give me the .CAB file and I'll take care of getting the app working. No dice!
If anyone has the .CAB file, or has some sort of hack to have the PDA2K appear as an ipaq h6320/h6325, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dan.
Rogers GetMail
- I've just posted the GetMail files (in a zip file) for the SX56 client to the ftp site (uploads/BlueAngel/Rogers GetMail).
- Sorry it took so long, but I'm an FTP newbie.
- As of yesterday, GetMail was still working fine on my PDA2K, but Dan makes a good point about Rogers forcing a switch to MyMail, since I recall I had to log in to GetMail through Rogers site to activate it??
- I'll let you know if it crashes, but someone needs a hack for us to get MyMail operational on the PDA2K!!
rombo
I stand corrected... I called Rogers again this morning and the tech support person deleted my Enhanced Wireless Desktop account and re-created it and, once I re-installed the Desktop Assistant (on my PC) and Get-Mail client (on my PDA2K), I was up-and-running again.
Rogers technician I spoke to suggested I find someone who owns one of the ipaq 6320 or 6325 and ask them to download/install the MyMail client on an SD card and just handle the rest of the install through registry edit and file copy (if any files are copied to the device RAM instead of the SD card. Anyone out there try this approach or know someone who'd be willing to lend their ipaq for this test?
Dan.
Got it working
Thanks for posting the executables. You can actually download them directly from wirelessdesktop.rogers.com as well.
The install was identical to Mymail (except the device install actually worked).
Seems to work ok, other than it is pull, and the shortest interval is every 15 minutes to sync.
Hi gohabs,
Are you saying you managed to install MyMail on a PDA2K (client install)?
If yes, can you post the .CAB file (for MyMail)?
Thanks,
Dan.
Sorry
No, I meant that I got GetMail installed. I had the same problem as you guys with MyMail on my XDA IIs.
I got the MyMail desktop app installed and configured, but could never get to the ota web page to install the device app.
Getmail works fine on the XDA, so I'm sure if someone can extract the cab for Mymail it will work as well.
Here it is...

Hi There,
Is this the current (as of Dec 15, 2005) version?

FIDO GPRS SETTINGS HELP FOR IM portal

Before you go on to post "read the wiki" ,"search the thread noob" etcetc
Ive done that and i found no help for it other than some settings, which i already tried(didnt work) and ive gotten more settings from the fido csr
and ive plugged those in but still no.(tested gprs/edge by starting pocket IE)
no connection.
I've gotten the value pack for fido which includes the Instant messaging portal for msn and yahoo where i can chat and message and check email unlimited... now the only problem is i cant connect to gprs/edge to use it.
question 1. how do i get the dam settings to work?
question 2. am i able to use the messenger included in the rom? or do i need to use the one specifically for fido?
question 3. once the previous 2 are answered..... Am I able to make it where only the associated program uses gprs/edge for data..so that way if i use pocket ie on wifi i can still use watever im using with gprs?
ie: surf the net on wifi, while im chatting msn on gprs?
thats all i got for now,
I'm using a softbank x01ht with black majik rom.
Thanks for any help i receive.
When I first got a windows phone I was so determined to get it set for Fido's services. With my Universal it took me days to figure out what the settings were. I thought I knew everything after that. Turns out that there are a bunch of other factors such as MMS won't work until you've exchanged msg's with another FIDO customer. Also internet doesnt work without a proper plan first, it doesnt work like it used to , which was PAYG. Lastly the settings don't kick in until you reset the phone, and even then I have heard stories from some where it took upto half hour for some settings to kick in. I find it so complicated now that I seem to know where all the free wi-fi hotspots are around my area.
I hope this doesn't discourage you from figuring out ur settings through trial&error.
I encounter none of what you said. I dont use MMS so I am not familiar with ..all others is no big deal.
It takes me 30 seconds for set up and I am ready to go.
ps: I am on a unlimited for years.....
Well I guess it mustve been different with the Universal and your Hermes.
thanks for the feedback still havent figured it out as of yet though i do know theres supposed to be a dial out to *90# or something like that cant check the txt i received from fido right now.
anyways i hope to get it up soon, im gonna try to port over the IM program thats in my friends rogers tytn and see if i can change the settings on that thing for fido.
wish me luck
They toys bahave different

You bet money on it. I have an 8125 and also an 8525, both have exactly the same UI to set the connections up, however with exactly the same settings I´m able to surf the WEB, get GMail, all MSN Live services,etc only with my Wizard because with the Hermes I´m able to open just a very few wap sites. I´ve had this problem since day one with my Hermes and looking for a solution in this site and in many others I´ve found that I´m not the only lucky person with a $400 toy that performs worst than the cheapest Nokia, there´s a lot of people with same problem and nobody knows why this happens.

For those who've got it working, could you please share HOW? It would be much appreciated.

WORKING Blackberry Connect configurations

Hello All,
I believe there are many like me who would love to get the Blackberry Connect Software working on their HDs. At the moment, it seems like black magic how to get it working and the other thread doesn't really contain much useful information on working configurations.
So far, we know the following:
1. It is Radio, ROM and SIM card dependent.
2. You need to have the BB service provisioned on your SIM and have the new style SIMs that support full data functions.
3. Latest version of BB Connect required for TouchHD (4.0.0.106). This is available from HTC Asia on on the internet (just search these boards)
What i'd like to use this thread for is for people to post WORKING configurations with as many details as possible regarding the setup/installation procedure. I'll start with the only configuration I've managed to get working so far.
ROM: Dutty's 1.9b extreme
Radio: 1.12.25.16
SIM: Blackberry service from MTN
Installation/Procedure:
- Flash ROM
- Install BB Connect software
- Provision SIM card
- Connection was activated after a few hours.
Other information:
- The BB connect service defaults to IE as the browser.
- BB Push email service worked but with lag. SEVEN was much better in this regard.
- I was unable to get messenger, stock tabs, weather update, google maps, etc to use the BB connection
- BB push email service creates its own mail folders on your device regardless of what you already have.
- BB email folders do not have full flip to scroll to next message functionality in TF3D.
- BB email did not display pictures, etc
Please lets have other users chime in here and perhaps we can get a Wiki section created for BB Connect on the HD. Lets please keep to the same format as above to keep the information easily referenced and trackable.
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I have been able to run the service with all ROM's expect for the ones built on 6.5 OS's..
Connection was instant in each installation (right after a reset I am connected - then I'd push my service book -- done)
I do not have any lags in mail arrival.
Its satisfactory for me- but as you said you have to stop the BB service prior to any attempt to use the data connection for other purposes (IE, weather...etc)
Only thing I miss is the blackberry messenger.
Thanks for the thread.
Taiseer
Thanks for responding Taiseer.
Could you tell me what mobile operator and country you're using? Secondly, what do you mean by push your service books? Is than an automatic process or manually performed by you? In the installation that worked for me, I didn't do anything of the sort.
After installing did you have your BB sim in the phone or did you insert it later?

I am currently residing in Oman and its Omantel...
and normally what I do after the 1st installation and device reset, all of my mail arrives to a new mail account named system..(and I won't be able to send or reply to mail from it), so to be able to get the rest of my accounts and have a better use out of the service, I log on to the Operator's blackberry's site and manually demand a service book sending.. in few seconds mail arrive into auto formed mail accounts..
As far as the SIM card its always in the HD..
It looks like SEVEN may be better for me then, how does battery compare between the two.
Thanks for the information Taiseer. My provider does not offer the internet log on option so I guess I will need to get them to push the service books to me somehow. When I install the software with the sim in it, i get nothing after a soft reset. No pin and no ip address. Did you find that MS Live or any other microsoft service was able to use the BB connection or is it just the browser?

Seven has a good service and I've had no complaints. The BB data plan is the cheapest where I live though. So if you can get unlimited (or cheap) data packages, stick with SEVEN. I didn't notice any differences with battery life.

No - you got to stop data connection, but because I am used to my WIFI conection and hotspots everywhere I normally do not discounnect the BB connection, DO you??
Whilst my service worked I was too scared to disconnect the BB connection so I just didn't use any of the other services. It sucked. I've just flashed Davideuck's newest V 2 ROM so we'll see if i can get it working.
Okay, great news people. I've got my service working on Davideuck's Version 2 rom. It required a call to my network provider. For all those installing on a HD, its down to your provider regardless of what they say.
Taiseer, thanks for the heads up about the blackberry page for my subscriber. I managed to track mine down and set up my email accounts from there.
Woohah!
I am using a stock ROM 1.14.405.3(22273) WWE, Radio 1.09.25.15
I hate to have to use a cooked ROM, I've used Dutty's ROM's on my Kaiser and they worked well but this phone works so well I don't want to mess things up.
I believe the stock ROM should work as well. Be sure to hassle your service provider to set it up on their end. I think some providers are not pleased to offer the BB service for non BB phones and do not fully enable the service (they can tell that its not a BB phone from the PIN number). After a talk with my provider, I was told to reset my phone and presto! all was working.
It works on on my Kaiser so I know it works on my T-Mobile plan. I may mess with the radio's to see what I can do.
Sorry to keep adding to this thread but I have some new developments. I upgraded the ROM to 1.19.831.0 and Radio 1.09.25.14
I have version 106 and ran the desktop software, it switched the PIN from the Kaiser to the HD. I changed the version reset the device and now I have the service books and an IP address.
When I look at the status I get network available>data tunnel available then not connected.
Update, since it wasn't working I tried to reinstall BB Connect on the HD, when I tried to configure I got the PIN 0 error. As a last resort I put the SIM in the Kaiser and configured it, then switch to the HD, configured it and it worked!
I'm not sure but it looks like changing the PIN was all I needed to do.
blackberry working great on orange uk htc touch HD standard phone
I downloaded the blacberry install files form a link on this forum, I belive it was the same blackbery files from HTC.
Rom Version 1.19.61.1 wwe
Radio 1.09.25.14
Installed the BB app to phone - then went to start settings > system >" click" icon blackberry.
Blackerry connect (identity) tab shows 3 bits of info
PIN said something like waiting for PIN
IMEI 78*******************
IP Address No connection
Spoke to orange asked for blackberry service. they said 5 permonth £ 250MB of blackberry
Orange sent me text message with a pin number and told me of the orange blackberry site to go to I think it is blackberry.orange.co.uk
On the blackberry.orange.co.uk I enterd the PIN number from the text message and IMEI number.
My phone recived a text a turned it of and turned it back on.
Checked the Blackerry connect (identity) tab
PIN was now populated with the pin that was in the text message
IMIE still there
IP Address says connected.
Went back to the blackberry.co.uk setup my email accounts with blackberry the pressed service book. looked at my phone 20 mins later and my there email accounts were there 2 for work and 1 for home.
I dont do much surfing on the phone but opera works and and the blackberry is fantastic.
orange were very helpfull on this.
But saying that blackberry is really a network service Windows Live I belive does a similar thing you get push email.
I'm glad to see people are getting it sorted. There are certainly many other options for connectivity and push email. Some even work better than the BB service. The reason i'm on the BB service is that its the cheapest way to browse regularly and get push email in my part of the world. When a page can cost as much as 30 pence via gprs versus 20 pounds a month for unlimited data on the BB plan, its a no brainer. Yes, I'm painfully aware we're being gouged but theres no getting away from that.
I have a problem with blackberry connect...
Everything installed just fine, receiving message OK, BUT...I can't send mail because option new mail, reply on mail also, is disabled
Very strange, because I used earlier bb connect on diamond and everything worked...
Any solutions?

Its probably because you are only having the "system mail account" you should try to send your service books to your winmo via provider

Problems with BB connect on HTC HD
Hi guys,
after setting up successfully BBconnect on my HD, I noticed that when I send emails from my BES account on my laptop, I always find them in my Inbox (not in Sent Items as I would expect) of my HD reporting me as Sender and no body message in it. Instead, should I send emails from my handled device, I always find them in Sent Items of my device as expected....Has anyone of you faced the same issue?
Thanks...

Blackberry Connect

Will Blackberry Connect work on the Touch Pro2?
I have installed version 106 and no luck as yet with t-mobile., stiil pending.
I just put the blackberry service on the phone and they said give it another day to activate the service.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
i have been stuck on this issue for a week... no luck...
wrote to htc and they came back saying that look for updates on its site... now that's a really long shot..
would suggest that you too write to them... lets put some pressure..
this is a business phone according to them... then bberry is as much important!
I havent bought this phone yet, but I would only be able to if bbconnect is working.
Could you try to change the device ID to TouchPRO in settings/system/about and change the registry HLM\System\Versions\Aku to .1.6.0
But you need to change it BEFORE you install BBConnect
Please indicate if this makes any difference, otherwise we'll need to wait for a new bbconnect version
When i had installed the software without the above settings, i had a PIN and IP address - but it would not connect.
Later on i had hard reset the phone...
now i re-installed the software with the settings u mentioned, but i do not have a PIN or IP Address and bbconnect will not register either...
could u please tell me how to un-install it safely too? as i do not want to do another hard-reset now!
(btw, i had done a hard reset on the phone earlier coz after i tried 106 and uninstalled it, i installed a previous version 100 and it hung my phone.... )

am sure htc engineers visit these pages too....
hope u guys understand.. that u r touting the tp2 as a business phone.. and we need blackberry too in a business phone to complete the package....
we cannot connect to exchange alone (that incurs data charges and is not roaming friendly - especially international).. we need bberry coz that keeps us mobile from country to country that we visit...
common guys... its just a few lines of code u hv to modify... am sure...

Me too!! Not working.
Had T-mobile and Rim on the phone together with no luck.
Well I contacted HTC to find out when it would work and this was the reply I received:
Since Windows Mobile is our platform for the HTC handsets, we would push customers to use the Microsoft exchange server.
The device comes with microsoft exchange server support and also supports IMAP and POP3 accounts.
HTC is not going to release any Blackberry connect applications and it would not up to HTC to do this. If Blackberry wants to develop an application and release it to HTC, you may need to check with RIM/BB.
RIM (is the company name)
Blackberry is the platform
Hope this information helps.
Sounds like the person I was contacted by either has no idea or there's no plan for blackberry connect to work on the touch pro 2.... Oh well looks like I'll have to purchase a storm...
Just be patient...
I'm more than sure that we will get BBC to work the same way we did it before. By manipulating the Device-ID string in the ROM (from HTC-Rhodium to whatever) BBC should recognize the device as "allowed" and it _should_ work. So all we have to do is to wait for the HardSPL-guys getting it done so that we can flash custom ROMs. Once this is done, I assume we will have BBC up and running.
Blackberry Connect.
Blackberry Connect does not work on the device, however, it seems to work on the HD.

make sure your AKU is set to .1.6.3. I have bbc .106 working fine on my touch pro2 with this and the SetModelID solution
Report Reply
I am planning on upgrading from Fuze to Fortress (TP2) and want to see if this works. You need to make sure your account is provisioned for BBConnect service.
Didn't work for me even after switching system ID to identify as Raphael, on T-Mobile US.
It works fine on the Rhodium. Check out the thread entitled "blackberry connect, not yet working" It got working about halway through. I use BBC on mine but I needed to make a couple of tweaks as outlined in that thread.
Dominoid - Rhodium - Blackberry connect
very interested in your asnwer dominoid.....can you send us more specifics as to how / what / where. We are dying to get Rhodium work with BBErry Connect. Which version worked with yours?
Does anyone know the orignal AKU for the ATT Tilt2?
I hate cross posting in threads, but somehow people decided to open different threads on the same topic. (Maybe a mod can merge them into one if he reads this).

blackberry Messenger How?

Hi,
Have they got any way using blackberry messenger with x1?
thanks.
BBM needs the device to have a PIN.....and as of right now the current BB connect does not provide that. I do not see it in the foreseeable future as BBM is part of RIMs unique features on blackberries

Well, I manage to install blackberry application on HTC HD and it's working. I guess it should work on X1 too since it is HTC hardware.
PIN that is inside blackberry mobile is provided inside blackberry software for windows mobile.

There is a dedicated BB Connect app for the xperia also, but the problem is that winmo devices wont be able to acquire a PIN as they belong to individual BB devices.
with the HTC HD nd Xperia app you only have access to the BB email servers

That's not true man, BB Connect acquires PIN for your WM device as well so i have no idea why there is such a problem to get the BB messenger to work... Probably marketing strategy?
Can be used with Iphone or anything?
bbm help

I have a HTC HD runing the blackberry service and to be able to get the messenger service as well would really finish things off. Has anyone seen an app that does that?

yea i stand corrected, ur definitely right. BBM is one of the main selling points(i constantly hear bb users boast about how bbm is the best messenger app). By making BBM available to WM devices, there isnt really a point in owning a blackberry device. This is why they probably scrapped the blackberry application suite project.
i've tried the bb connect for xperia,bt it wont connect...it says bb pinending and the isp wont connect...something like that...i think we need to register to our carrier's b;ackberry plan to be able to get this working bcoz,once u run the app, it connects to the internet by blackberry service not wifi...
this is not possible ..
Windows mobile devices don't have " PIN "
To clear things up, to use blackberry messenger you must have a blackberry in the 1st place to get a BB Pin! Only then can you use BBM. also i believe you need a BB service plan for the BB services to be free but i could be wrong

if that so,SE wouldnt have to bother to make an official app bbconnect for xperia,if we hv to switch to BB to use their BB messenger!
PIN etc.
I've got an xperia with BBconnect on and of course asigned PIN. You won't get your mails without a PIN. BB connect works on just few WM devices - xperia, HTC-Raphael etc... It checks your device ID and if you don't have the correct one, or you don't have BB tariff - there is always "Pending" instead of your PIN. No wonder RIM is not making BB suite even their new products are quite cool (9700) but a BB won't ever be that customizable as a WM device. That's a bit shame as people with BB are limited to people with BB. I don't think this is just marketing, that's something to do with RIM security and that is on very high level, therefore they don't want to risk running their appz on a ambiguous unsafe system like WM
I don't care, i have my BB connect with mails as a must from work on my x1 as i did not want a BB. If I did not have to have it i would use MS direct push or just check for mails every 30minutes...
I have searched high and low for ages now and certain people state that BlackBerry messenger will work on the SEx1 and other say it simply not possible. I'm not the most experienced user with the X1, I don't have any custom ROM running (simply don't now how to run one!!). Is anyone able to clear this up for me?? Is it possible to get the BB messenger running on the X1? Do I need any custom ROM? HEEELP??
Further to this I have tried downloading and installing the blackberry app that 'supposed' to work on X1 but each time I try and install I get a message stating something about an 'OEM' I think it was, WTF is this?
Hi,
I've been using BB Connect on X1 for 6 months. I have the official polish ROM updated with SE Update Service.

Would you like to explain how you have this working? Keep in mind I have the standard ROM that came with the device.

Well,
I know that it is important to have the last version of SE X1 ROM, it didn't work for me with previous ROM. After installation of BB Connect, on BB Settings on tab 'activation' I put my email address and special password set by our company's mail administrator on the server.
I don't know what can I tell you more.... For sure after installation you need to restart the system.
Tell me how it looks like on your X1, does it connect to Black Berry net through 3G or GPRS?

in the installation guide it states to install, go to settings, hit 'register to network'. when i do this i get the pop up indicating my device is trying to connect to 'blackberry' through either gprs or hdspa useualy. it states in the guide that once this is done i should have the option to select 'email setup' but as i dont get this im assuming the device has not registered. under 'status' the 'PIN' reads pending. help??

Hmm, I had the same situation before updating my ROM - there was an information 'PIN pending'.... but after update it is ok.... so I'm not sure if I can help you. BTW I did the same configuration for 2 of my collegues and in both cases after update everything worked.
