I have just inherited a bold 9000 and did not have a data plan beforehand. I am trying to access wifi in order not to upgrade to the data plan. rough economy ya know? so i followed the instructions on the forums here and everything seemed to work ok except...
when i go to my browser>options>browser configuration
and change my browser to "hotspot browser" then save. then re enter browser configuration, it reverts back to MEdia Net. I have changed my default browser to hotspot browser in "general properties" and it will still revert to MEdia Net in "browser configuration". I have tried going online, and it works, but is charging me.
I am running out of ideas, short of either deleting media net (although i don't think that will fix this problem) and just purchasing a data plan which i very much don't want to do, and in that case i will have a pretty texting machine.
Try going to options>advanced options>browser and changing all of the options in there to Hotspot Browser. Never tried it but I imagine that should work.
