Blackberry and XDA IIs - Could be Mar-Apr 05

Spoke to 02 Blackberry Support this morning regarding a few issues with the XDA IIs.
Due to current list of bugs (ie, bluetooth etc) Blackberry is quite low on the list to be including in a Rom update. He felt that it would be Mar-Apr 05 before such a update is released!
It seems that even they are directing people to www.smartner.com to try there solution out rather than have to wait!
I think Smartner could be onto a winner here!!!!!

Pylon Anywhere is a better and cheaper product than Smartner's.
You can download an eval from www.ianywhere.com/products/pylon_anywhere.html

Cheers for the update!
I mailed O2 data support last night so it'll be interesting to see what they tell me.
What I really find peculiar is although they are directing people to smartner, and the smartner website lists O2 as a partner, why aren't O2 listing Smartner as a service offering?
I'm going to check out the other product offered here, but between xmail and smartner, I've pretty much got my "push" (really pull) mail solutions sorted out for a few months.

With Smartner's product, it is simply software for your PPC, which is configured via an web based interface at their end. Priced at $50 per year is pretty reasonable for push email.
How much does Pylon Anywhere cost ? Have looked at their website, but it's not exactly clear. Also I get the impression that users also need to install a 'server' type client - is this correct ?
Cheers
Mark

I'm downloading it now and it is a server based installation, so if its for your work you would have to get your IS department to test and certify the software before deployment. Looking at the site its restricted to Exchange/Domino environments only so those of you with Pop3 or Imap access are out of the picture.
LIke I say, i've got a test exchange environment at home so I'll configure onto that and see how it performs, but I doubt its for the end-user.

Hmmmm, I think at $645.00 for the Pylon software, I'll stick with Smartner for time being!!!!! WOW - I have picked myself back up off the floor now!!!! :shock:

Remember, thats not counting the price of the software to run the mailserver as well as the time taken to learn how to configure it.

Pylon Anywhere is a server and client solution, not a hosted service like you mention ($50 per person). You need your own server, just like Blackberry Enterprise.
For the price, you get five users (buy in bundles of five users). This includes the server software and client software for Pocket PC, Smartphone, Palm, Symbian and even desktop XP and more.
The client software installs on your device USING THE DEVICES APPS, not some custom solution, allowing you to use any application available for the Pocket PC (PI/AF for example). It is TRUE push; I can push calendar, mail, contacts, tasks and memos if I choose to (only do calendar and mail). You can then also setup what's called ReadySync sessions that occur at scheduled itervals that sync everything (you select) that you don't want pushed (in our case contacts, memos and tasks).
You can also manually sync your device. It also supports SMS Push for those who like having this service (SMS triggers your device to sync - sound familiar).
Fully encrypted, from end-to-end. Users can install the solution themselves via a web interface system, it also provides access to all their e-mail etc (like OWA) if wanted (can be disabled). User can also install via a CAB file and full install program as well.
You can say what e-mails to push and what not to, like HIGH PRIORITY only etc. You can sync your GAL or portions (filtered) of it.
What else do you want to know?

As i understand it you can use the blackberry client from the extended rom of the XDA II. You could either add it to your extended rom , or simply run it as a cab file.

Where can I get the cab?
z0mbi....where can I download the cab file for Blackberry Connect?
Thanks

Same questions here.....where can we get the cab file????
And do we have proof this works???

Blackberry CAB file
I have BB Connect working on an XDA II succsessfully, Although we now have an XDAIIs i want to get it going on. So can someone please post the CAB file or tell me how i can extract it from the XDAII ext rom pleeease
Shannon

Desparately seeking the Blackberry CAB
Somebody please help us all!

I have it going on my XDA2 and have extracted the cab and tried it on my PDA2K I-mate .
It installs ok but wont work
I have also got it from the MDA III german version this also installs and runs but RIM detects it as a illegal pin. There must be some sort of checking that it is in the correct rom version.
If i knew german i would be right
Looks like we just have to wait for a english rom with it installed .
Pole99

The CAB
Apologies for the no reply, I forgot to check back on this thread...
I haven't tested this personaly as I don't own a 2s but it works on my SE'd II
Anyhow please find the attached cab

Thanks... do you have the Desktop configuration tool sw?
Thanks so much for sending this along... Still trying to get it working.... looks like it also requires some desktop-based software.
Would you mind posting?
Thanks in advance!!!

BLACKBERRY XDA IIS
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the Cab file really apprecicate it ... next question, I have got it installed alright however when it is running, active sync does not work . So has anyone actually got it to work on the XDA IIS?
Maybe i need a newer rom for the XDAIIS although i think there is only the launch going round ?
Shannon

I installed it but it screwed up my blue angel - it had the memory errors (i.e. no more memory available to run programs), so I tried to uninstall it but could not - hard reset after that

It installed on my Verizon Harrier, but it doesn't register... It's possible that I need to have a Blackberry account, so I'm going to call them tomorrow to see.

You might not need a blackberry account from your provider to make this work, you probably just need an account on any BES

TMO BB Connect for Wizard also works on Universal!

I successfully installed and configured the recently published BB Connect program onto my Universal. T-Mobil Germany officially came out with the BB Connect add-on a few days back, and it turns out it actually is dual-platform-aware, Wizard and Universal.
It can be downloaded at ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/BB Connect/mdavario_sw_bb_03-2006.zip
There is one *but* though. Until now, I only got it to work on TMO-UKs 1.20 MDA PRO ROM, but my suspicion is that it actually has something to do with the radio version. BB Connect works flawlessly on radio versions 1.06 and below (I saw similar behaviour on the Blue Angel devices where radio versions beyond 1.13 could not made to work with BB Connect).
Anyway, although initially I could not get it to work with the Jasjar 1.20 rom, I must say I did use the 1.09 radio. I will be re-installing the Jasjar rom later today, this time with radio version 1.06 and report back on the results.
(While I was writing this, I heard my "T-Mobilized O2 XDA Exec" happily signalling the arrival of new mail )

BB Connect working on MDA Pro
I can confirm that the BB Connect Client from the Wizard is working on my Universal.
It seems also correct that you have to have the t-mobile ROM installed. I tried it with the latest I-Mate ROM but it failed to connect after the initial setup. I then installed the lastest t-mobile ROM and now BB Connect is working like a charm...
Great stuff!!!
Cheers

version no
Wiz,
Kindly advise what version is your latest t-mobile rom.
Thanks & Regards

The combination that works is TMO UK 1.20 (or lower) and radio 1.06 (or lower)
Other versions (Qtek, Imate) work as well, as long as they are AKU1 and *not* AKU2

I can confirm that it DOESNT work on O2 Rom with radio 1.06, with VF Account and DE TMOB BB.. I will try to do the tmob rom update in the next couple of days...
will the tmob rom and bb client work ok with a VF account??

We have a BB Enterprise subscription and a BES at our central location. Our provider is VF Germany. I dont know if you can use BB with VF-Push but I _asume_ that it will work.

took the leap this morning as it appears the rom has other useful things in like an updated BT stack for BT Caller ID Etc..
Bottom line is it all dropped in ok, have BB coming down from our BES, bizarre thing is though the from address is shown as an exchange address and not email, and I cant reply as yet.. maybe something on our BES server needs tweaking..
Anyone know how to remove the Tmob links on the Home Screen? I've changed the theme back to Windows Default for the time being but would like to remove some of the Today ICONS that TMob stick on there..

Not working on T-Mobile MDA Pro German
Hi tried this, but I cannot get it to connect to the BB server. The software lists IMEI and BB PIN. It seems to connect for one or two seconds (for that time, I see an IP address in the status window), but after that, it disconnects and stays that way.
I phoned T-Mobile MMS (Multimedia Services) yesterday and asked them about it. To my surprise, they did not try to shake me off because I was using a Vario software with my Universal, but honestly tried to reproduce my problem - and succeeded in that.
They told me that the BB client for T-Mobile MDA Pro German should be released "early in April", gave me a EUR 10 Bonus on my bill and told me to watch their homepage for the software update. I'm quite satisfied with that

Works for me!!
It works for me... Radio Ver 1.09 o2 XDA exec... using it while roaming in Europe with T-Mobile USA Blackberry Intl Plan.. connects to both Instant Email and Enterprise. ... no probs... although it sucks compared to MS Direct Push... you need to switch APN's manually so that you can use PIE... also, it just feels like bloatware compared to the native push solution....i uninstalled it and continued using MS Direct Push...

Could you, please, confirm which versions of ROM, RADIO and ExtROM you use ? The only combination i was able to runn BBCOnnect was T-Mobile ancient ROM 1.20.120. Others never worked.

Would someone please be kind enough to post the ftp link to the exact T-mobile rom that works with the BB connect software?

Never mind I got it all running but I get no messages, I can send them but I have not recieved any.......

I had to call T-Mobile, they reset my location data in their system and now my BB is working!
Next I am going to try to install the O2 ROM, I did a backup using Sprite Software 5.1 and will do a ROM upgrade from T-Mobile to O2 and see if the BB works with that....

I posted this over in the wizard forum and was wondering if this was actually the better place.

Need some help.
Running a Univeral with the base TMO Rom 1.13.53 WWE and radio 1.03.01. I am running on the Cingular network.
I have installed the BB Connect software. It connected the moment the BES admin added me to the BES network, since then it has not really worked properly.
In looking at the Initial window for BB connect titled "Instant Email - ", I see Lookup, Settings, Register Now, Suspend and Hide enabled. Email Setup is disabled.
Under the Settings button I see:
Identity - my pin, my IMEI and sometimes an IP address.
Under the Status tab I see
Service: Not Connected, Data Tunnel Available, Network Available at different times, but typically Not Connected. I also believe that I see an IP address when I the state is on Network Available on the Identity tab, but since I can't see both tabs at the same time, I am not 100% certain.
I also have the option to suspend, restart, and uninstall on this screen. And a couple of Suspend Options.
Under the Service List, I see:
Blackberry [ALP]
Blackberry [CMIME]
Both of the above services are active. The CMIME Service has some synchronization options available.
Under the IT Policy tab, I see:
One was created yesterday and the name is default
Options Tab:

Got bbconnect working!

Thanks a lot for this GREAT forum! Finally got blackberry connect working on my artemis! Downloaded v 4.0.0.92 from this forum last week, thought I'd give it a go. It's been a month since I tried all other versions 4.0.0.84 to 4.0.0.91. They ALL made me sick, had to restore a few times. I was amazed that it worked this time, and still works! I have my work mail coming in from BES, and also configured 3 other mail accounts (gmail, isp and my domain), works like a charm.

of course, thanks Meschle for the fantastic touch 3.01 rom!

cubist, what radio are you using?

how did you manage to get the BES to work? Is there any trick or magic?

Radio 3.07.90, which comes with touch 3.01, no alterations made to registry, like some suggested in other posts for older versions of bbconnect.
Once you manage to get connected, setup personal mail through secure blackberry browsing. Create a login here too for web access, so you can resend service books when needed! Once that is all ok, you should get autoconnected to blackberry over edge. My plan is paid by my company, and we have a bes server with lotus notes. I called our dept to reactivate (they have to activate account with password on server, it works only for 48 hours) Then reactivated with password.

Cubist,
thanks a lot, mine is working as well. Just did as you proposed.

glad I could help you!

by chance, do you know what happens to re-activation after having flashed a new ROM? Do you need to go through the re-activation process again?

you can resend service books from the web. If you have the same radio and bbconnect can install on the rom, you should get connected. For the BES part, I'm not sure. I think the key used to register with the BEserver contains a device id, I'm not sure if that changes when installing another rom. I will know shortly: when touch with wm6.1 comes out, I'll test it.

Hi and wonder if you can help!
I am with O2 in the Uk - XDA Orbit WM6
Got BSoftware 4.0.0.92 and got 1 of my emails working okay, but when adding a 2nd one got the following error message:
Service Book Management
Device Message Store Limit.
You must delete a message store to use service.
example: [email protected]
Do you happen to know the way around this?
Many thanks....Carlos

Some providers only allow a certain amount of mailboxes to be added. Your BES account is the first, probably you can't add more than 1 account.

cubist, did you finally upgrade to "Artemis Touch 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM, 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) (Full, Lite and Vanilla)" and does you BB account still work? I am keen to upgrade, but cannot afford to loose the BB functionality.

blackberry connect on htc hd

hi guys, does anybody knows if bbconnect works on hd

Tried version .103 last night - not yet working (i.e. no PIN) will investigate further with other versions when I have a little more time and report back - anyone else working on this with any success please share?
Thanks

Any luck making the HTC Touch HD work with BBC-Blackberry Connect (BES)? I am still stuck in "PIN pending" on my side whatever I do... Thanks for letting me know.
Otherwise, the HTC Touch HD is definitely the best HTC device I have used since converting from Blackberry; I would hate to have to go back to BB devices, even though the Storm seems to be a giant step up (but no Sling player, no Kinoma Player, etc.).
28Wagram (A Frenchman lost in the US for the last 10 years...)

obviously i am having the same result as you guys trying to use version .100 This version worked on my touch pro. going to try a few version and see what i can get accomplished here
Versions Confirmed NOT working:
.103
.100
.92
.91
.90
.84
.67
These are the only versions I can find so I can say its a no go for now.

Did you try changing registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to for example .0.4.2?

I took your advice, changed it and soft reset. I then installed version .103 and PIN still reads pending. What version would you recommend for this setting? I dont want to go through them all again haha. I also tried th eone that worked on my touch pro (.100) and still no PIN.

I would not know what to recommend. My previous suggestion came from my experience with the TyTn II but I suppose the value to use is device dependant. Maybe another user can help us on this
I hope that you succeed because my decsion to the Touch HD depends on whether one can install Blackberry Connect.
Please let us know if you manage to make it run.

I have a corporate Vodafone BES blackberry account - have bbconnect .103 install - had NO PIN for days but .... my PIN has finally arrived - seems Vodafone have added the HD to the supported devices list!!!!!!
.

BB Connect
version .103 was stopped after 5 minutes. I had PIN and everything, now I have nothing , no connection no PIN

Same here in the US, on AT&T/Cingular, with BBC .103. Five minutes of heaven, PIN out, connection, and then... nothing - No connection any longer. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Guys , any news on this topic? It would be nice to share your success with us! Thanks, Thorsten

i still havent had any luck. i am monitoring his thread which seems to have good info but they are still stuck as well

Seems like were all in the same boat - I'm checking daily for updates - I think we'll have to wait for RIM to issue a new version of bbconnect (maybe a .105 version) as they did with the Pro before we see this working properly.
If anyone else has any updates or thoughts then let us know!
.

Status
So I've got Touch HD on Vodafone UK and installed Blackberry Connect v 4.0.0.103.
Seems to have registered with the network as I have a pin code but struggling to get services activated with company BES.
Try to connect to Desktop Software (v4.0.0.22) but get a cannot connect to device error code.
Saw someone posted success with a Vodafone UK SIM - could you post the specific versions of desktop software et al and whether you were connecting to a company BES?
Feel like I'm a step or 2 away from a perfect phone
Thanks,
John.

but for the specification they mentioned about they don't have Blackberry support, right?

I'm also following this thread HERE apparently theres a version 1.0.0.104 about but I'm sceptical - lets see?
If anyone else comes accross the .104 version on their travels (searches) then please share!

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?

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.
