I'm using the new T-Mobile 8900. I just bought a new wireless router (Belkin) to take advantage of the free minutes while I'm at home. I set up the WiFi connection and I can browse, text, and ping, but I cant hear the other end of the line when I make phone calls. They can hear me, but I can't hear them. Any reason why?

Hi, I have a Curve 8900. My problem is that when I occasionally get a wifi connection (it always says its connected to my home network but the wifi logo rarely lights up) the browser does not find pages until it reverts back to gprs! I am using a netgear DG834G V4 router. Even more rare is the UMA logo!! help!

Hi,i have done everything you write in this thead... and it works but i stop in this step :


Step 2 : Tweaking your BlackBerry's Settings

Next, we will fine tune some other connection properties. Navigate to Home Screen > Manage Connections > Mobile Network Options. Under 'Connection Preference' make sure you have 'WiFi preferred' selected.

I cant find "Wifi prefered" under connection preference and y thonk that this is maybe what i causing my issues with my bill, beacuse, i have delete all the service books for WAP,MMS and i only surf from wifi but sometimes i get a charge from blackberry.net on my telephone bill...

anybody had this problem?

Hi, I just got my bb8900 a few days ago. Everything is working just fine with the 8900 including a few 3rd party app that I installed. The only thing I can't get to work is that I can't browse using the wi-fi feature. I have already linked it to my home router and it indicates that it is connected, but when I try to browse, I just get the message "unable to find the requested server". I know that my router is working fine since my laptop has no problem browsing. I suspect there are some configuration settings that are incorrect. I would appreciate any help on this. Anyone have any ideas?

Nice Guide thank you!

Hi,
Just got my new BB 2 days ago. I followed this great How To guide and was able to get my browser working w/o any problems but after I updated the OS to v4.5.0.153 (from v4.2.2.180), now when when I select the default Browser setting to be Hotspot Browser and Save Options, it always changes back to T-Zones. It wont keep the Hotspot Browser setting no matter what. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

[Franberry]

Answered my own question. I went back into the Desktop Manager and restored the old Browser Settings from the backup that the DM made before I updated the OS. Thank Goodness for that restore feature! I shouldnt have been so anxious to upgrade to the latest OS, especially since v.153 wasn't an official release but rather a leaked version that was less than a couple weeks old.

[mooree]

Thanks for sharing the list. I will try when I go home

[atmosphereart]

your guide was amazing thanks a million . things have improved greatly on the problem i had but still got anther couple of question. i have a curve 8900 and basically although i was gettin connected to my router (was def showing up with its name) however the wifi symbol at the top right was mostly grey not white after your browser tweaks i seem to have it white a great deal more but it does still switch back to grey for periods(60seconds or so). is there any other tweaks you can reccomend and also does doing a wifi hotspor login help this when i am at home(where i mainly seem to get this)? it seems to be when i click on this option if im 'grey' i get the wifi back again.also does it make a difference if i have my mobile network switched off when wifi...this seems to help a little. thanks again for the guide !!! kev

[wpallen]

Awesome stuff! Thanks so much. I was struggling with the Wi Fi. Not anymore!

[armagnacd]

The support rep at AT&T directed me to these wi-fi support instructions. Unfortunately I am unable to successfully activate wi-fi on my BB Curve 8900 (just purchased this on June 8).
I am using a Belkin N1 wireless router. Do you know if this is what my issue is?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi, Thanks very much for your very clear and handy guide on how to set up a wifi connection. It helped me.

[phillycore]

I currently have t-mobile service with ONLY the e-mail option no internet. If I select wifi preferred as my connection preference (on automatic) and my home wifi connection drops out for some reason will it automatically switch to t-mobile's service, or will it drop the connection. I'm really new to this and I just want to make sure I don't encounter extra charges on my bill due to internet use on t-mobile's network.
Thanks for the help. and GREAT guide for someone who isn't familiar with this stuff whatsoever like myself..

Is there a reason why most public wifi spots dont work or is it just me?

[iO Silver]

I have a Curve 8900 (Javelin?) and got it primarily because I have a WiFi account available to me most wherever I go. I was under the understanding, or miss-understanding that as long as I had a WiFi enabled device and WiFi availability I would be able to browse the net. When I encountered problems I called T-Mobile and they told me that I had to purchase a plan to do that. If the phone is the device, and I have the network available to me should I have to pay another fee just to access what I'm already paying for? Isn't this like Dell, Toshiba or HP making me pay a fee for accessing the net using one of their laptops when I already have an ISP??
