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.... )

Thanks..I just unstalled and tried your settings still no connection or PIN.

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...

Hi,
Have you tried this?
See WM65 solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502623
I think you have to play with the version number of your WM...
In case of WM61
I used this:
HKLM\System\Versions\AKU key, change whatever in there (like .0.0.3) to .0.4.2

I'm an Aussie wanting to purchase a Rhodium...
I'm upgrading from a 7100G blackberry handset. (yup a massive upgrade). Although the most critical part of my phone... (apart from making phone calls) is my blackberry push e-mail...
I can't afford to change over phones until I know that the Blackberry Connect 4.0 works. I know that HTC have a special version of the Blackberry Connect for the Diamond, the Touch Pro ect...
http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=497&news_id=61
With Windows 6.5 rumoured to be released within the next month I'm speculating that we won't see Blackberry Connect 4.0 working on the windows mobile 6.1

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).
Read more for a final solution without using SetModelID and starting and stoping services each time:

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?

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?

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.

Windows live ID & Windows Phone 7

Ok so I searched the forums but I can't find a topic like this so I thought I'd bring it up.
I'm from Ireland, living in LA. My Windows Live ID is oooold and was created in Ireland. Now I love my windows live id I don't want a bloody new one thanks. So anyway I got the DVP and started it with my Irish Windows Live ID, all contacts and all that are all fine BUT when I go to look on the marketplace I notice that I missing stuff I should have like Netflix for example.
So I'm thinking is this because M$ still think Im in Ireland eventhough all the region settings on the phone say the US? Has this problem followed me from xbox live. On xbox live I still get the Irish dashboard & Irish marketplace offerings.
I can't believe that this problem still exsists and that it has crossed over to Window Phone 7, this is VERY bloody annoying! gurrr!
Also can anyone recommend a way around this while still using my current windows live id. For example on my xbox I have a american account (live id) that I use to log in, download/buy what I need then log out. Once the app/game is downloaded to my xbox I can access it from my Irish account. Weirdness but it works!
:'(

have you tried going to LIVE.com and altering your location and such there?

M$ don't let u change the country field for some bizarre reason. Once you choose a country then you're stuck with it, something they don't actually tell you when you're creating an account of course!

I am able to change from UK to US just fine on Live.com under Account.

yes u can change it "aesthetically" but it doesn't actually change the region of you raccount, ie: you will not be able to get content for US (only) if you originally created ur account for the UK even if you're living in the US.
So for me, for example, I'm in the US, on T-Mobile US etc... but I can't find, view or install apps like Netflix, LastFM or WHERE. In fact there are hardly any (good) apps that show up for me at all on my phone which is just a disaster, I can't believe that this problem has leaked over to Windows Phone 7.

[Q] Using Windows Phone outside retail market

Are there any drawbacks/limitations to using a Windows Phone out of contract outside the markets which it was sold? Will all the services be available? XB Live, Marketplace?
I was looking into getting an HTC Trophy (vodaphone startup) and wanted to know what problems I may encounter by not using it on Vodaphone.

well
1. if wp7 is not lauched in your country - you will have prob in WINLIVE acc creation . for example i disquise myself as american ( lol but still )
2. some nonextensive problems with credit card add..
all could be solved .. nothing rly serious

They are going to come with guns and breach your door. Hide your kids, hide your wife..

I am currently using Unlocked US T-Mobile HD7 in Russia. The phone itself works fine (calls, 3G internet, GPS), but I can't access X-Box Live and Marketplace yet, so I can't buy apps and I have to download them manually
If X-Box live and Marketplace is not available in your county, you can only "jailbreak" your phone and install them manually. So if you have unlocked phone you should not encounter and other problems.

What problem will I have with windows live account creation?

You can create Windows Live (not X-Box Live) account and use it to sync contacts, calendars etc without any problems.

Thanks for the info.

Where's My Update - Community Edition

Microsoft has announced they will no longer document update releases by carriers, but this is still useful information, so now we must keep track ourselves to know which carriers are lagging behind.
Feel free to edit this spreadsheet when you have received an update notice on your carrier (no login required):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuPW6_Ouc0FidG53dGQ1al9JbGtQWnQ2TTR2Q1pGaGc
Cheers

Looks Great. Although I would suggest that they are completly sorted by Country, then Carrier and then device I guess this is fine for a first version.
Maybe someone can add these changes later with the help of this forum.
Anyway, today I received 8107 but only after using the cable/network disconnect trick on my PC. Should I still mark it as delivering update?

As long as you haven't changed your branding or your ROM to a different carrier, then you can add that your carrier is delivering the update.

Unbranded probably wont get the update as there is no one to request it for you! I think that is how it is. I've forced the update on my Titan and worked perfectly fine. Very simple steps. There is link etc in the Titan forum as well as here somewhere.

You disconnect your PC from the Internet (in my case via network cable) shortly after you start searching for updates via Zune. I actually disconnected about 5 seconds after searching started, but you can try out what works for you.
I had WiFi enabled and cellular data connection disabled (no 3G and no EDGE), although I only disabled cellular data due to my prepaid flat expiring.

can confirm that unbranded/open market phones not get the 8107 update
omnia 7 -> no update availible in germany, even with cable trick, no chance.
dell venue pro -> no update avaible in germany, even with cable trick, no chance
both no carrier brandings.
I am pissed a lot about microsofts way to schedule udpates to the people, nobody knows where and why any update will arive and there are everywhere anoyiing bugs in wp (keyboard) -> user experience is an F

What does it mean, open phones no update??? no update now, or no update never ever?? Anyway, we pay more for a open phone, to get more updates and even sooner, and at the end, we are the last.

I think open phones now get the updates much easily! We only need one carrier to release update and then using cab sender it updates right away! I did that with my unbranded Titan and it only took 8-9 minutes from point A to point B!

there is currectly no update delivery, maybe in the future but if you see microsoft community manager any carrier has to request the update ... but theres no carrier for open market phones, whats the obvious? Open market phones dont receive this update ever and get it maybe with the next (tango?) update.

I think that is a dangerous method.. If you don't update all the language cabs..
You may not get next HTC update..

So open phones users, we are screwed or what? i got the 7740 update right away. but until now no theethering for example.

yes this is the actual situation, some unbranded phones may not become wlan tethering because it depends on carrier request and dont get the 8107 update (on the official way...with hacks you can have both but this is not the point why i choose windows phone)
sad to see microsoft destroys its own system and screw away their fans

I've got a Samsung Focus (originally a Rogers phone) unlocked and using on Bell Canada network.
I did the wifi disconnect trick and got the 7740 update...doesn't this mean Roger is delivering it?

for tethering you need OEM driver update it's not only OS depended
Iosu

Samsung had the driver ready even before Mango started rolling out. In the official rollout drivers update was already softap implemented and working . I got some ROM that had older OEM drivers date than the Mango rollout and it was there too.
On the other hand, HTC was playing bad and didn't include it. No idea how LG and Dell...

i know...but if i use hack i can use internet sharing...if i dont, i am not able to use it
even on german telekom the omnia 7 users got internet sharing
i have german telekom sim but unbranded omnia 7 and dont got it
i know that the dell venue pro is not capable for this feature but omnia 7 was before mango!
When i look at 2 friends, one with branded telekom and one unbranded, both got internet sharing and no one can tell why my friend with unbranded got the update and i am not.
its not the lack of the feature, because i dont care about wlan tethering but who pushs the updates? Microsoft and they hold it back, a total inconsistents in the update process...like with 7740 as os update or even more worse the 8107 update
-> tested the cab sender and all seems to be fine for me but restored my backup because i want it on the official way and not this. I paid not only for the device, for the os, too! The update experience is just bull**** with wp, android doin it better because i can choose nexus phone (never thought i say this) and get every update immediatelly and apple do it the best way since now.
Looks like my next phone will be no windows phone, regardless that i like the system but i dont get what was promised and what i get.

The big issue here is how to confirm all this data.
Maybe some of the information is wrong.

I guess I'll try to keep the Sasktel (Canada) section current. I'm guessing there aren't too many Sasktel people on here with windows phones but I could be surprised.
Also +1 on being annoyed with this whole carrier requested updates.
At least we'll be able to come here to see what's officially available.
