I have it running. It works most of the time. I find it goes to Suspend a lot. I am not sure why. I either Restart or unsuspend it. I also get a lot of "Blocked - Radio in use". Either way, it works and I get email and calendar syncs. Do you have the BB Connect plan on your carrier account?

Is pIE running in the background?? This will hog the GPRS connection and stop the device from connecting to blackberry APN.

Very true. I find myself closing "connection happy" applications (i.e pIE) to get connected again. I don't think the BB Connect client is capable of handling the connection priorities.

I have a 750v with the vodaphone ROM and it works very good, whenever I launch the PIE it switches to the "regular" GPRS connection once theere is no more traffic it goes back to the blackberry connection.

Blackberry Connect 4.0
Anyone has a Blackberry Connect 4.0 Software? I am using Groupwise at work and I was told that this is the only BB software that will work with my treo 750.
I tried BB Connect 2.1 but that only works with Exchange or Lotus.
Thanks.

BB Connect 4.0 is not available yet, only for beta testing. We should see these new clients in summer.

Has the BETA leaked out yet? I would really like to play with it.

Hi all - I have also been waiting to use BB Connect with Groupwise. Anychance of getting a copy of the Beta as well?
Or a pointer?
Thanks

I contacted BB support and they are saying that the BETA will be released this summer.
I am hoping someone already has it and can get me a copy.
Thanks.

As far as I know BB Connect 4.0 for Windows Mobile will only work with Windows Mobile 6. So on the current Palm Treo 750 this new client won' t work. First there must be a WM6 upgrade for the Palm. An other platform which will support BB Connect 4.0 will be the new E90 Nokia Communicator.
Update:
No WM6 ROM required! BB Connect 4.0 works fine with the Treo 750v and the Vodafone Netherlands ROM 1.12.0.c.
The client can be found here:

I don't know. In the new rom there is Xpress Mail and Get good pre-installed. So i think there is a lot of software able for push..

Blackberry Connect on a UK unlocked Treo750

HI, i'm very sorry if this has already been asked but I have searched and haven't found a difinitive answer.
I have just bought a treo750 unlocked and not through a carrier such as Vodafone. I have a blackberry enabled sim (from tmobile through my company and was using happily with HTC Universal prevously).
I can't seem to get it to download messages succesfully. After I connect via the desktop connect software, it successfully sends the provisioning info but when the device connects it just drops the connection and says 'not connected (in the status).
What I would like to know is whether this rom: TREO750-1.16-RWE supports the BBConnect or will I need to change the rom to get it to work. I hear the vodafone rom supports it.
If I can't get blackberry to work on the Treo, I will have to return it, so any help will be gratefully recieved. I love this device in every other way, but must have Blackberry as I rely on it for work.
Many thanks in advance.
Sham

Are you on a BES? If not don' t use the desktop sofware.
Try out the attached BB client, please let me know if you can connect with this client.

hi, many thanks for your help. my company has a blackberry server. not sure if this is a BES, but i needed the desktop connect software to get it working with my universal.
thanks for the attachment, will try it tomorrow and lt you know (im out of the office all day today)
thanks again for your help.

Hi georgedorn,
I tried the cab file you kindly attached but with same results as before. It successfully sends the provisioning data but then when it connects to Blackberry via the gprs (gsm) and then it recieves an IP address then says: "not connected" under the status and then disconnects.
I used to get this on the Universal when i used some Rom versions. My
current rom version is:
OS 5.1.195 (build 14995.2.6.3)
Software version: Treo750-1.16-RWE
Firmware Version: 1.27.0b.00
Is your ROM version the same?
Thanks.
sham

Hi sham,
I' m using the 750v with Firmware 1.12.0c.00 and Software TREO750-1.14-VFD.
I had older firmwares before and BB connect was working fine with all. I' m not familiar with the new Treo 750 or the Cingular one. Seems that the only BB capable Treo is the 750v. Even Vodafone who sells the 750 now is only offering BB connect for the 750v, so I guess that the 750 firmware is not able to run a BB client. Maybe they want to force Microsoft Push Email now. Is your company running Exchange 2003 SP2? The Treo is the perfect device for Push Email via Active Sync, you even get your contacts synched wirelessly which is not possible with BB connect right now.

Hi, I flashed my treo with the latest vodafone rom and bbconnect is working fine now!! It must have been a restriction with the unbranded ROM as you said.
Many thanks forall your help, I love this site.
I'm one happy Treo Owner now. The best PPC device i've owned and I can safely say, I've owned a few!
Sham

Glad to hear that the Vodafone NL Rom did the trick and that its working now. It' s a great device indeed.

Blackberry client on WM 6?

I was wondering if anyone has got the Blackberry client working on a Treo 750v running WM6?

The BB connect don't work with WM6 actually...
from Palm : Do not Install this update if you are using Blackberry Connect (BBC). Palm Windows Mobile 6 does not support the BBC service...

this is a BB connect CAB...made by HTC
it's basically made for AT&T tilt (8925) = Kaiser
I guess it'll work with any WM6 pro device...

Tried this and it won't work for me.
Has anyone actually got this working on a Treo750?

It gets an IP for about a second but then it drops it.

Same here w/ 750c. Gets an IP address for a few seconds and drops to no connection. BTW I am using BBC 4.0.0.90, you can find it on sems.org. I wonder if anyone w/ the Voda or the Aussie ROM would give a shot to this BBC version to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks,
HC

I guess it's the same problem as elsewhere, where you need to change the machine type in window.nb (I think). Only problem is I can't find an easy explanation of how to do this.

I was trying BBC 4.0.0.90 with Voda ROM and no luck.

Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC

I have WM 6.1 installed using BB Connect 4.0.0.97 and its a no go. Oddly enough, I tried the same thing on an earlier Vodaphone WM5 ROM and it still didn't work...any suggestions?
Btw, I get the same issues as above, I have a PIN listed (and IP address for a short time if I Suspend and Resume) but then when I attempt to input the PIN into my online BIS account and switch devices is says the information can't be verified.

Pocket IE not working through AT&T connections

Interesting development here... Since upgrading to WM6, I'm not able to access any pages using IE over my AT&T connections. I'm able to access pages using IE through my wireless network just fine. I've also had this problem with AKU 3.3 as well. This did not start until two or three weeks ago. I've made no major changes to either ROM. The AKU 3.3 ROM I was using was absolutely flawless for several weeks, and even activated the stock extended ROM. Using AKU 2.2, there isn't a problem in the world. I'm wondering if this isn't something on AT&T's end.

I may have found a possible issue using G'reloc when cooking some ROM's. Further research is needed.

Well, it seems like it's still not working even when cooked without G'Reloc.
This is driving me nuts, because I'm not sure if it needs a cab or what.
Can anyone help here?

Try switing to another ROM to diagnosis...
I had this same problem but decided to bounce to another ROM. I went with TNT and it is now working again. I have an AT&T Blue SIM card. I can't find the reference now, but someone else was experiencing the same exact problem with IE and the blue SIM card. Hope this helps.

Did you change location of cache or temp files? I think it happened to me one time, and i go the file location messed up...(dont remember for sure)

outlook not working
im att also, just upgraded to tnt pro the 1622 version or whatnot. pie works great for me but my outlook gmail accounts aren't working. anytime I send or receive I get an error syncronizing message at the bottom of the screen. oddly 1 day last week my email DID come in. why? I dunno. I get my att internet settings from a mfrazzz cingular settings cab. I've tried changin the network used from medianet to my isp, as I think that helped using mobile 5. but I still get the same error message, this is the only device I have and I need my email. any help would be greatly appreciated. oh yeh I just moved too if that makes a difference, the edge service is spottier but its still an edge connection not the slower one.

does your ROM include the networkwizard? If not, do AT&T not use a proxy via the GPRS?

No, it does not contain network wizard. I'd like to know who is running a 15342 based ROM that is also accessing the Cingular/AT&T network, and if they are having issues.

it works fine for me, no problem for my cooked ROM!

[SOLVED] HTC Tilt + Dutty WM6.1 + BBConnect = PIN: Pending

Hey guys, i've seen a number of different threads which "kind of" talk about this issue. I'm hoping to make this the definitive one. I'm on hour 10 of working to try to get this running..
(My apologies in advance if there is already one out there that i haven't found. i have been really looking and i think i tried it all... im sure thats what everyone says )
Hardware: HTC 8925 a.k.a At&t Tilt a.k.a TyTN II
Software: Duttys Official WM6.1 Release
Radio: 1.64.06.04
Provider: At&t (US)
Problem: BlackBerry Connect's "Identity" Tab reads "PIN: Pending"
I should also mention that i called At&t to confirm (prior to all of this) that i have a BBConnect service plan, it is active, and there is nothing on their end that would indicate a failure of any sorts.
Attempted Fixes (These have ALL failed):
I've tried every combination of having active sync enabled and disabled during bbconnect install.
I hard reseted before every install. Soft reseted after issue still occurred even after bbconnect install rebooted.
All tests were performed with the the HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2 as per Dutty's wiki: (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DuttySeriesKaiser)
I also tried various combinations such as .0.2.0 and .0.3.6 and .0.3.0
Even tired changing Device ID to HTC_P3450
Tried all of the following BBConnect software downloads:
4.0.0.84:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/o2-terra-bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_4.0.0.84.cab
4.0.0.90:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_pro_4.0.0.90.cab
4.0.0.91:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_4.0.0.91.cab
4.0.0.92:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.92.cab
Tried installing this one both by copying cab file over to local device and through device web browser:
4.0.0.97:
http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
I'm installing from and installing to the local device memory, not the storage card..
i think i covered it all... oh, i didnt try the one HEX edit solution, because i didnt think its applicable to dutty's rom..
can ANYONE please help?!
---------------UPDATE--------------------
Okok...so problem solved... i thought i read something similar to this solution somewhere.. but..well whatever... frustrations are over (the problem always seems to find a way to fix itself after you post help for it! )
Process:
1. Hard Reset (set up initial settings, connect to provider, its a total of two reboots iirc)
2. Change registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2)
3. Soft Reset
4. Change Device ID to any value (Settings->System->About->Device ID)
5. Soft Reset
6. Install BBConnect 4.0.0.97 via device browser from http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
7. Installation reboots system
8. Disable 3G connection, force to use EDGE via wireless connection manager
9. Device receives PIN, activates, etc..
10. Enable 3G connection
Notes:
1. So i dont know if items 2,3,4, and 5 were really required.. after preliminary testing, everything works fine with the 3g connection turned on after initial registration.
2. I noticed that the BBConnect Today icon kept showing an exclamation mark indicating its outgoing connection was being blocked. Also the status window kept showing that the connection was suspended by the user, when i never did anything.. so i tired disabling the 3G and sure enough.. problem solved..
Hope this saves someone out there the headache i've been going through.. oh well.. back to the girlfriend who i've been ignoring for the last 10 hours... (hopefully im not in that much trouble )

wooooooooooooooooooot, thx for the solution.

Man...thanks a lot for all the help...it worked like a charm...and i am using it here in dubai...uae where the black berry doestn support the kaiser offically
cheers bro

Great work man, great work for users who uses BBConect

3G still working?
Quick question for those who tried the (disabled 3G to Edge) and then re-enabled 3g.
Does your 3g still work? Have your tried to place calls in 3G mode? I am on my third Tilt, the prior two times I lost 3g after installing blackberry connect, and I want to see if anyone else has this problem, before a try a third time.
Note: On my previous two phones all worked well when I downgraded to GPRS (Edge) as described, but I never got back 3g (even after flashing and removing BBConnect)

I added this post to Dutt's WIKI and gave you due credit for your hard work.

Now if only someone can figure out how to force WM to do multiple APNs and BBConnect would be perfect!

Strange... All I had to do with my Tilt was set the AKU to .0.4.2 or .0.4.4 in the registry before installing the BB Connect software.
I've used the .92 & .97 installers from CAB files on my SD card just fine.
If you change the AKU version after the BB software is installed, it won't work right, as it will still drop the connection. You'll have to reinstall the software.

Quick Question
So to those of you who have BB Connect running, is all well with your 3G? Thanks for your help, I want to hear a few success stories before a walk down this path again

so I followed the steps, and got everything installed and turned off. I'm trying to get an unlocked tilt on my blackberry account on t-mobile.
The problem is its installed, but the email options are greyed out. We don't use an exchange server (or if we do it is configured very wrong) as I have pop3 information on my t-mobile blackberry page. It says I register successfully on the network, but I still don't receive emails. What do I need to chnage?
edit: fixed - I had to get back online and say yes that I had a new pin.
THANKS!!

that is the same problem I have left now, almost like hardware related.
does AT&T default one can do multiple APNs? as it is officaly support BBC.

I installed Blackberry Connect and I am using it with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
But I see in order to have the BB icon, the GPRS is always attached. Should it work like this ? I know/knew that with Blackberry phones it attaches to GPRS only when incoming email is coming, and only with Microsoft Directpush technology it stays attached all the time.
If it works like this ( Always On ), is there a difference between BB Connect for WM, and Outlook with Microsoft Direct Push ?
Yours,
Alex

I updated to Dutty's ROM today, and had problems with BBC.
So I searched, found this page and did exacty as told. No luck. Tried again. No luck.
So I went to Start/Settings/Connections/Connections and then clicked on 'Manage existing connections' and changed the settings (default on Dutty's ROM). [To do that click 'Edit' and change the 'Access point name' from isp.cingular to wap.cingular. Click next and change the 'User name' from ISP.CINGULARGPRS.COM to WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM]
This worked for me. This info is for noobs, of which I am one!

I have just updated my TyTN II to WM6.1 and bbconnect (version 4.0.97) stopped working. Basically it had PIN marked as pending and was reporting no connection.
I have executed only step 2 (change hklm) and 3 (soft reset) from elec.two procedure and it resolved my issue - bbconnect works now. I have not reinstalled the bbconnect.
