Blackberry Connect Version 4

Well, just got hold of the Blackberry Connect Client V4 and installed in on Windows MObile 6. Install is fairly slow, but gets there in the end. Took a while for the BES to send all my messages across, but calendar, contacts and notes syncing is working well. Less painful than the HEX edits etc that people use to get older versions working.
Oddly the device now turns itself off when power gets below 30% - maybe theres a way to change this. Alos, due to my corporate IT policy I don't see a blackberry browser in the blackberry software. Anyone know how or if its possible to install one? Apparently with V4 you can use the MDS server for mobile data as with the blackberry device.
BTW, got the client, desktop manager and manuals etc from http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=225

BB Connect - Desktop won't connect to device
I was trying to get my Universal to connect to the Blackberry Connect Desktop for Window Mobile Devices. I followed the install guide and from what I can tell it seems like active sync is still blocking the device from talking to the blackberry software. When I disable the USB connect option in activesync the device cannot be seen from the laptop at all.
I am using BB desktop software is 4.0.0.17 and BB connect software on device is 4.0.0.67. Active sync is 4.5
My understanding is you has to activate using the desktop method and it can not be done wirelessly. I did try wirelessly and I get Service: "not connected".
Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Blackberry Desktop Manager USB Driver
Wrong forum, sorry

on some devices you have to go into the registry and change the AKU to 0.4.2 can someone verify I am scheduled to pick up a Universal this week and need bbconnect capability

You have to install Activesync and will be done. Driver is installed with ActiveSync.

Try this version of AS...

Internet sharing from your Universal to an XP PC
I had looked for a solution for this for some time, I then tried the following option, which required my computer to be connected to the internet initially, I hope it works for you.
Enable Internet Sharing in your Universal, plug it into your internet enabled XP computer with the normal USB cable (Active Sync if installed should disable and lose it's green colour) your computer at this time should be looking for new hardware drivers, if you enable the option for it to look for drivers on the Microsoft site automatically (this takes some time for your computer to search the microsoft site and find the driver), then it sholud find it.
After the hardware driver successfully installs (forgive me I don't remember the name, it had 'idvendor & modem' somewhere in it) then you should be able to unplug your ethernet cable, USB internet connection, disable your wireless which every it is you use, and as long as you computer is set up correctly (I think automatically acquire DNS and IP , the default or standard settings found in networking should be fine) then you should be able to go through the whole process again and this time your computer has the right drivers and will be able to utilise internet connection sharing through your Universal channeling it through to all programs on you computer
It worked well for me, I had my work station on this internet sharing connection through my Universal and unlimited T-Mobile web&walk for 2 weeks, because when we moved our ISP could not initiate ADSL for that period, everyone in the office would use it and it was constantly logged in to remote exchange server, several instant messaging protocol
and surfed the net easily

Could you please tell me, how do I Enable Internet Sharing on my Universal, i have looked for a way to do it but I cannot find any setting or something similar.

Hi, you'll need to find Internet Connection Sharing cab or installer, it is very likely linked to on XDA Developers if you want to do a search, it might even be down loadable from Microsoft's site!
If any one finds one could they post a link?

Is there a program that..

Does anyone know of a program that will display ur today screen on ur computer...like a virtual dashboard? i broke my screen on my kaiser yesterday and I am waiting on my replacement, but i have some emails that i need to read... anyone know of a program like this?

ActiveSync Remote Display. You sync your phone with the computer, run ActiveSync Remote Display on the computer, and it will display the contents of the screen. It's how a lot of people get screenshots of what is on their phone. Special installation instructions for WM6.

Thanks, but I found a program called MyMobiler .. works really good... and works with Vista

I use MyMobiler also, works good.

works great, especially since you can launch it from the desktop. No need to do anything on the PPC.

Wireless data connection not active...
There is one issue with ActiveSync Remote Display and Mobiler. Because they both use Activesync, once the WM6 device is connected via Activesync, the wireless data capability of the WM6 device stops because the WM6 device begins to use the internet data connection on the PC.
Is there a workaround so that the WM6 keeps it's wireless data connection active when connected back to the PC/laptop and yet still enables me to control the WM6 device using my laptops display/keyboard/mouse?
Ultimately, I would like the WM6 device to run a virtual display program (similar to what Nyditot use to offer) so that I can run at 800x600 and use my laptop to control the WM6 device.
Why would I want to do this? Because I have an fixed $ rate unlimited data plan that is unlimited only if data terminates/initiates from my WM6 device.

Fastest method of remotely connecting PDA to PC?

Hi, I wonder if anyone could advise me here?
I am looking at buying a PDA (have been looking at a TyTN 2) it´s main use will be for connecting to my PC when I am away from home.
I have tried an iphone with logmein ignition which was OK but I prefer something with buttons I can press rather than a touch screen!
The most important thing for me is that I need the fastest possible program to connect the two devices. In your experience what would be the fastest method of connection? would an off the shelf application like logmein be fast or is there a faster method like a dedicated VPN tunnel or such like?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum
If you trying to connect to a remote computer from your PDA the best way is logmein (At least for me)
If it´s to connect PDA and lap top in the same place use WMDC or Activesync

Hi
I don´t need to control the pc at home. My partner will be at home and will be working on the pc. I will be in a different city or country. The PDA will be linked to the pc through wifi or 3g and at certain intervals I will need to press "enter" which will then activate "enter" on the pc. In effect I will be using the PDA as a mouse.
The important factor is the time delay between me pressing the button and it registering on the pc. I want this to be as close to real time as possible.
Any suggestions what would be the best way of setting this up?
Many thanks

I use realvnc to connect to my computer that's running ultravnc. Its in real time and allows me to do just about anything i need to do remotely.

[Q] WM 6.5 - 'Charge Only Mode'

I am looking for a tweak\tool\registry hack (if possible) to have a Charge Only Mode for Windows Mobile 6.5 if at all it is possible. Most of the times, I am at office using my HD2 (Dual boot with 6.5 and DarkStone Android ) connected to the Laptop and it would be great if I can just connect it to my laptop without choosing either of the three options
1. ActiveSync
2. USB Storage Mode
3. Internet Sharing
P.S : I did lot of search for this option but was unable to find it and hence started this thread...but I will be more than happy if anyone can redirect me to an existing thread if any, for the same issue.

When your phone is charging off the laptop do you actually use any apps on it?
I'm like you in that I spend 2 days a week with my phone charging from the laptop, but I never use it for anything other than phone calls, so selecting disk drive does the job for me.
Any apps I'd need, I'd make sure were installed on the device.

Better use the active sync or the mass storage mode..As it is you wont be needing to install apps on your memory card thanks to the massive storage of the HD2 compared to the older WM devices...This shouldn't be a problem IMHO...
Cheers.

Ive got a really easy fix for this, just use a different cable, you can get cables or adaptors that will charge only and wont sync. When you want to sync just change the cable or take off the adaptor.
btw... such an adaptor is only £2.50 from amazon for my phone

This doesn't stop the action as such, but when you connect your phone to PC, with the 3 options you listed, there should be a a check box at the bottom "Don't ask me again", so whatever you choose will automatically happen next time (choosing USB storage will therefore not ativate ActiveSync/Device Centre on your PC. This can also be found under Settings->Other (miscellaneous settings)->USB to PC (see attachment).
Or, just use a wall socket charger?

Hi,
Thanks for your replies ! The reason I asked this question is because I do not have a Data Plan on Phone. I only use Wifi at home and office and Active Sync kills it. Data storage mode won't let me use the Storage which I kinda need (Don't ask me why? ) and ofcourse Internet sharing Mode just sends the phone into a crazy 'Connecting 3G Network'...loop.
Anyways, I think using the Charge Only Cable should do the trick for now..But I still feel that this mode will be helpful for few rares like me...Love tis mode in Android.

ActiveSync does not kill my Wifi - make sure the 'Allow wireless connections on device...' is checked under File->Connections Settings. Also ActiveSync should allow your phone to use your PC's internet connection (pass through) anyway.
The other thing to try is to delete the mobile device from within ActiveSsync as if you've never synced it before and when you next connect it it will ask you to set up a relationship but click cancel and - viola - should now just charge.

No "Allow Wireless Connection on Device" option. I am using Windows 7.. Not sure if it is present in WMDC.
ActiveSync Passthrough does not work..I am on a encrypted network with authentication based Proxies..whole bunch of them.....
I do not want to kill the ActiveSync relationship since it syncs everything with my PC.
I think I am bothering a lot over this stupid requirement.. so I will just close this thread (If I can) but if I find anything I will post it here, for someone else who might be in similar situation.
Thanks anyways...XDA rocks !!!
