You can access it by going to Settings/Options/Advanced Options/TCP, but in most cases it's no longer needed on the rogers network, I have 12 apps on my bold, none of which need it, as most will auto configure it and Rogers assigns it to your device anyways it's transparent to you.
Hi can i use 3G network on my bb storm 9530, in India

Default Browser for free WiFi email

I purchased my first Blackberry 8320 (t-mobile) because I wanted a very light small device to receive and send email (yahoo & gmail) while traveling in Europe. When I received it I was in an area with no GSM service, but was able to connect easily with available unlocked WiFi. I think I was using the the "internet browser" When I returned home where I have a good t-mobile signal, i inserted my prepaid t-mobile sim. I now have the option of only "hot spot" or "t-zone". And was not able to connect to the free wifi at the airport. I have removed the sim and think I have hard reset, but still have only the two t-mobile browser. I leave for Europe in 3 days and need wifi access. ANY suggestions?

Put the sim back in.change the connection preferences to wifi.

Did you pull the battery?

I did pull the battery in order to remove the sim. I also tried the ALT- left CAP - DEL too hard reset. I will put the sim back in, but how do I set connection preference?
Thanks

Go to "manage connections" scroll down to wi fi options.
Make sure Mobile network is checked too.

Options: wi fi selection mode should be "automatic"
Stay away from T-zones in the future,its just a waste.

hi! i have just got my new BB pearl flip and i can tell you that is a wonderful device, but i wanted to ask, is it normal that my battery lasts only about a day and a half? i check mail about every two hours, use messenger but not for long, and web browser for about an hour or so, but still i think it should last longer, since it was supossed to last about 14 days, someone has the same problem?

HELP

Default At the risk of bringing this thread back on-topic...

Can someone tell me how to identify the five different browsers on the phone? What is the icon for each of them, and how can I tell which one is running if it is launched from a shortcut?
