Wifi working? - Page 20

Verizon's $30.00 Service says

"The Email and Web for BlackBerry and Email and Web for Smartphone Features are designed for personal, consumer use and are not compatible with some Internet email service offerings or with email applications utilizing BlackBerry Enterprise Server, BlackBerry Desktop Software, Wireless Sync or Wireless Sync Enterprise Server or Good™ Mobile Messaging. These features cannot be used to tether your device to laptops, personal computers or other devices for any purpose other than syncing of data; any other use is not permitted using these features. Service is only available in the National Enhanced Services and Extended National Enhanced Services Rate and Coverage Areas."

Does this mean we have to upgrade to the $45 to get push email over wifi?

Marathon. No. What we are saying is that if you bump up to the higher dataplan Wifi will work. This is a bug and not the way Verizon intended things.

I was reading this thread last night because I have the same problem no BIS stuff (email etc) over WiFi just browsing. Checked this morning for updates to the thread and when I went to my connections I had my green checkmark and white icon. Just turned off phone connection and I have been able to send and recieve e-mails. I have just the cheap blackberry plan. Apperently Verizon/RIM are getting this straighted out.

I did nothing to get this working. Just started working by itself some time since 5:30 this morning when it wasn't working.

I'm not sure if my Wi-Fi IS working.. I see the icon at the top that appears to be greyed out. According to the manual, the greyed icon means the Storm2 is connected but no data is being pushed to the phone. I have gotten the confirmation that I'm connected but the icon never turns white as it should.

Also, when I click Manage Connections, my mobile network has the green checkmark, and the Wi-Fi connection (which shows my current connection) has the little box with a white dash in it. What does that mean? Shouldn't there be green check mark, as shown on Crackberry's Storm2 review page?

Does it list the name of your WiFi network?

I know there was enough of us that spent a good amount of time on the phone with RIM yesterday on this issue. I personally was on the phone with them 3 times yesterday. The first and last time for over an hour each time, and the second time was about 15 mins.

I think that pk said he had a few phone calls into them as well, which I am sure lasted equally as long.

dgalanter · #**297** 10-30-2009, 09:24 AM

Yeah, my call was about 30 mins with VZ and about 90 mins with RIM. They were very nice, however.

I just noticed that my icon when white after a reset...! I haven't called or changed and Verizon services. The only thing I did was to change the "default" Permissions (while installing the beta version of Quickpull). Here is the link with their instructions:

How to use QuickPull on OS 5.0 - Steelthorn Software - FAQ

Not sure if it was permission changes or Vzw getting their act together, but I'll take it either way.

UPDATE:
After about 5 minutes icon is now automatically switching from white to grey. Couldn't send email over wifi (when white) and 3g was off....

Same here. Mine turned white with green check mark and I didn't change anything on my plan. I can turn off my Verizon and have full use of email, BBM, and net over my wifi. Now I have no complaints at all with my S2. Its awesome!!
