Long story short, I don't have a data plan on my BB Curve 8530. So I have been using WiFi to connect to the internet, BBM, etc. However last night, I updated my phone to the new OS. And this morning, I can't connect to ANY of the apps. But I can connect to the internet thru the BB browser. It's weird because the WiFi logo isn't "on" but it will still let me connect.
Is there something I need to do? Can someone help me out please?

Thanks in advance.
The wifi icon will only be white if you have it on and have BIS (aka data plan); Grey is on but no BIS. Are your TCP/IP settings correct? Try a battery pull. If that doesn't do it, try deleting then re-adding the wifi.
How do I change the TCP settings? I can't seem to find it.
Battery pull didn't work. Adding or deleting the WiFi didn't work. I even went back and re-installed the older OS and it still didn't work. It has to be something with the TCP/IP settings, but I can't find them.

That is only related to data over your 3G/EDGE/GPRS network. I remember having this problem where all 3rd party apps wouldn't connect to wifi. Usually a battery pull solves this problem for me but after servicing my phone I never got that problem again. Just bring the phone to your carrier and have them switch your phone.
If anybody needs a 2D code reader application, I found that (despite what it claims in the description) ScanLife works just fine. I haven't tried any of the others, so they may work just as well.
Great success to report! There is finally a cross platform messenger that works with wifi only (this phone has never had a data plan or BIS).

I wasn't able to sign up* for an account using the BB but I am able to sign in.
*I wasn't able to sign up using an iPhone last night either but the iPhone gave a different/better error message so I can't say for sure that BBs can't create accounts.
somebody needs to create an app that makes the bb think it had a data connection but its really over wifi so we can use the apps freely! people like me will thank you =)

Aerize Wifix?
If you can find a way to buy it.
The point of this thread thou, was never bypassing data plans, but identify which apps don't need them.
Hey. BlackBerry tinkerer and explorer here, but I can't say I've been with Blackberry for a long time. Please note that I have no BIS or BES. I'm on a regular phone voice and texting plan with no browsing, data, or any sort of internet connectivity, though I am on 3G and 2G networks.
Seems like this thread needs an update.
Try using Aerize WiFix.
