I don't know how much people care, but it'll be available with the AT&T version. I saw someone on the Diamond forum I think saying they got it working, there's a link right in the Messaging section of the AT&T tab and it links you to

Did you try clicking the link that I said the Blackberry Connect icon linked you to from the Fuze? If you did, you would've seen that there's now a website but it shows this:
"Blackberry Connect: Coming Soon!"
Right'o.. Has anyone tried spoofing their device as a Diamond or Kaiser and run that version of Blackberry Connect?
I'd try it myself but I don't have a Blackberry plan yet.
Hi guys,
I am sorry, but I don't know if the USA Raphael is CDMA or GSM and its implications to Blackberry.
I do have the GSM Raphael and Blackberry Connect is no problem at all. Just install the latest version (see my footer) and run. No hacking required. Works perfectly, no big load to processor or memory, full integration in TF3D. Very stable device.

Yes I had it working fromt he 1st day in BIS mode. I have to say
1. It slowed the TP OS down.
2. Blocks other data traffic ports like browsing so you need to turn the connection off if you want to do other data related stuff.
3. Sends emails in plain text only and does not allow calandar accepts and rejects. (this may work in BES as calandar and contact sync is supported in the software)
I ended upi paying the contract penalty to drop BB for a standard data pack instead. emials are better although I don't have push yet.
Does not slow the OS down.
I installed BB connect when I got my Pro in August. Works like a charm and I have no problems with accepting or rejecting meeting requests.
It does eat up the battery...
Cheers
Pat

Indeed I do I have the BES Version (E for Enterprise) and its working really well too! I've used bbconnect on various devices now for about 2 years and this ones as good as any other - which is great!
I have my email, contacts and calendar all synced all of the time. I often have email arrive on my Pro faster than I do on my desk-top - its much quicker and more reliable than push email - although I do also have my g-mail synced with emoze - another great FREE app available for free from emoze.com
I dont have an issue with blackberry data connection conflicts either as both my weather update and google maps work well with bbconnect installed! I also have BlackBerry Browser running which gives full access to my corporate intranet too - only in explorer though and not Opera!
So - in summary - works on the Pro and works Really well....
Software can be found here and by the way you'll need at least version 4.0.0.100 for it to work on the Raphael.....
I've also attached here's a couple of screen shots!
.
i can also verify that it works perfectly for me as well. Here is the drawback though. It pulls your company's security policy and if that poilcy (which most are) is to lock your device you will be looking at a double lock if you already make your device lock. If you do not then you will only have one lock to get through to use the device.
I'm also a happy BES user. Just don't use over the air synchronization of contacts as I have noticed it is not always that accurate and contacts are lost with a large amount of contacts stored, so I leave that with Activesync
Only downside is that Blackberry and regular internet access are two separate connections and only one can be active at a time. Ideally I would like to see two parallel data connections.
Or perhaps even better have Opera and other "data clients" use the blackberry connection, as I have a flat fee data subscription on that.

I also have BES connection and works perfect even abroad with roaming. The thing with the security applies to me also. It is enforced by the company's security policy.
Does anybody know if there is a way to setup the blackberry service using Sashimi or any other method after a clean install? So without configuring the handset manually through BBDesktop.

There is a way to deactivate the company's security policy. After each reset though, you have to go through the unlocking still, but I use Task Manager and a lnk to it's command line to stop the BB security service. Then the security policy is disabled and won't lock the device anymore. Till you soft reset it again.
Of course not recommended from a company's security point of view, but if you are watching a movie on a plane, it is pretty annoying to enter the password each 15 minutes.
Approach me if you want more info.
I'm a Blackberry user that is thinking of migrating to the Touch Pro. What is the advantage of using BB Connect over Activesync?
Also, do you get full HTML with BB Connect? I do on my BB, so was just wondering.

The responsible startup service to lock your device is "BlackBerrySecurity" (you can find it with Memmaid, for example). If you stop that service, e.g. with Memmaid, the BB lock screen will not bother you anymore. But attention: never delete this service! (possible with Memmaid). If you delete it instead of stoping it, your device will not boot anymore and you will need a hard reset.
But if you stop the service, after any soft reset of your device you will see the BB Unlock screen again. Only after unlocking, you can then stop the service, and the company's security policy (in my case, locks device every 15 minutes) will not nag you subsequently anymore.
In the past, after a soft reset I unlocked my device at the BB lock screen, then I opened Memmaid and stopped the service manually. As I have to reset my device frequently (2-3 times daily), this was pretty annoying everytime. I wanted a way to stop the service with one fingertouch.
The excellent freeware Task Manager provides command line parameters which allows to stop selected services. I haven't found any other program that does the same. Additionally, Task Manager is small and has many useful system tools. It is actually not what it's name suggests, it is no task manager but a system tool.
This is what I did:
1. download Task Manager (I do have V3.1) from http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
2. create a .lnk to it with the command line option to stop the BB Security service in your \Windows\StartMenu: for example "\Program Files\TaskMgr.exe" /stopsvc BlackBerrySecurity (if you have installed it in main memory)
3. Now you can reach this link from your Programs list.
I have added a different icon to it and put it in my Programs list at the first place. Now, after a soft reset, I unlock my device, then I just click the icon and the service is stopped.
Company SysAds will hate me. Take care that your data is safe in case you loose the device and use different means of protection.
I have tried a bunch of ROMS and found this to be the same problem for all of them. When connected to Activesync and the computer has an internet connection, the phone is supposed to be able to use that internet connection to download data. However, everytime a program tries to connect, it says unable to download data (i.e. HTC Home weather).
So why doesn't it work? If I remember correctly, it used to with WM5.
BTW, correct me when I am wrong, but when connected to Activesync, that connection overides the 3G/E/H connection. So regardless if I am connected to 3G, it doesn' use that connection to download. Therefore, I always get the 'unable to download' error.
Thanks for any inputs.
No one else has this problem?
No problem here. I don't use HTC Home (memory hog) so I cannot speak for the weather plugin, but any time I launch PIE or Skyfire, it defaults to my PC's internet connection.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (since I've been using WMDC for almost 2 years now), but I believe this option was removed in the latest version of ActiveSync for XP.
I suggest deleting your partnership with your computer, and then recreating it. Pay careful attention to the setup prompts, because one of them says something to the effect of "Allow Wireless Communication while connected..." I don't remember the exact wording. Try it with the option checked, and then unchecked if the first way doesn't work.

Is there a wired tether app that doesn't need root?
nevermind, I did a search online and found a great app, pdanet and got it on the android market.
easy tether seems to work just as well for me and getting access to https for only $10 seems MUCH better than pdanet's $25
I was thinking I downloaded the freeware version of pdanet, but maybe it will end after a trial time, hmmm.
free pdanet doesn't allow most sites.

Damn=(. I was able to use hotmail, this site, facebook, zaptv, craigslist, speedtest, but didn't check other ones. Those just happen to be the ones I was on at the time.
But isn't it the phone's internet that is providing all the data and not the pdanet. That is just a program that is allowing the bridge of information. It's not an actual server that is screening things out. I really doubt that pdanet does anything other than connect the wire. I will check again, but maybe someone else can chime in on that.
the free one doesn't allow https or some such thing if i remember correctly.
Yeah it blocks the port required for secure HTTPS sites (think banking sites or the checkout page at online stores for instance), paid version unlocks that. It also lets you SMS right from the computer and it allows you to tether over USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi... Maybe I'm blind but Easy Tether only seems to indicate on their site that they support USB?
I just need to connect my computer with usb wire and surf my normal email and social sites once in a great while. So far it does that at 2.2mbps. That is plenty for me.

Just use that, it's the same as wireless tether for root users, just wired
I use Unrevoked to instant root and the install WifiTether and bam wireless tethering and the phone is stock, root is temporary. If you reboot then just hit the unrevoked to root again.
Unrevoked
WifiTether
when ever you get error code 67, that just means that you are not signed up for the sprint hotspot feature to allow you to tether. So you need to atleast do the unrevoked root hack, so you can get superuser permissions. Simple as cake, and is removed when you restart(the unrevoked hack, not the superuser, so you are able to still use wireless tether)
I have yet to root and the built in Internet Sharing option works for me. I have HTC Sync installed btw.

Hey Dwertz, if I use unrevoke and install the wifi tether, when I boot again and the temporary root is gone will the app stop working or do I just need to use unrevoke just to install more apps that need root? Thanks.

It's a known issue. Most ppl experience of battery pulling.
Besides the fact that it is very difficult to setup security (WEP???) and effectively block others, mostly brain dead iphones, to automatically connect to your phone, it is not really not worth the trouble. I fired up this Android Tethering on a busy Airport and immediately got more than dozen iPhone connected to it. The build-in access control can control who has the access to the internet but incapable of kick the ofenders off your phone. Battery was dead in less than 30 minutes.
There is now a new solution that enables native wireless AP (WPA2 capable) in addition to the USB tethering (still my favorite) in Captivate Android Development forum. Unfortunately you have to flash to a custom kernel in order to restore the wireless AP capability that was stripped off by request of AT&T.
so no other option for wifi tethering besides the custom kernel huh?

I'm using wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk and have NEVER had an issue with my phone locking up. I wonder if people are forgetting to turn off WiFi and bluetooth on their phones, which may interfere with the tethering process.
As to encryption, setting it up was very simple and I've never had anyone else leeching off of my wireless.
so I uninstalled my version, which I tried pre5, and pre8, none worked. Uninstalled, rebooted phone, installed pre7, didn't work, uninstalled ATM rebooted phone, then turned it back on and it works.. Weird...

the custom kernel isn't as bad as it sounds (all it does is to uncommented a few lines in the init.rc). But it does require Odin to flash it which is a hassle or error prone.

Hi there
I have a problem with my new HTC Trophy.
It works fine with my Wireless router, It connects fast when I'm in home, and I can surf and get emails and all the stuff.
But then I tried to use zune for configure the wireless sync and problems came.
Zune detecs fine my SSID (withc is not hidden and doesn¡t have MAC adress filter active). Then I click on "Set up wireless sync" button and on the next screen, on the "Confirm Network" one, this is what happens when I click "next":
"Can't detect your phone"
An error has ocurred.
Zune was unable to connect to the wireless network access point.
Error code: C00D07C9."
I really don't understand what is going there. because My zune works pretty fine downloading apps and sync the phone.
Help Anyone?
Thanks in advanced!
I had the same problem with my Omnia7. I found out that you need to disable windows firewall or anyother antivirus firewall when doing the first sync.
Also, connect the phone to the computer and leave it idle for 10-15 mins before you setup wireless sync.
Oh man thanks very much for your help.
Just as soon I turned Off my windows Firewall the sync was completed without any kind of error.
Cheers!
I'm glad i could help.

so, after the first sync you can turn your firewalls back on though, correct?
yes, I'd also add an exception for zune.exe to the firewall too

Nice one, I just spent 10 min trying to connect to an AP i forgot that i activated the access control months ago

I have same problem with Omnia 7. My laptop running Windows 7 64 bit is connected to same wireless network as my phone. Connection on both systems works without any problem. But when I try to setup wireless sync I have same problem like described here. I disabled Windows Firewall and also real time protection in Microsoft Security Essentials. I do not use any other security software. Any other solution?
same here
I'm also having issues getting wireless sync setup So far I've tried;
Disabling Windows Firewall
Connecting to network via cable
Removing wireless connection in phone and rebooting
Disabling AV
I'm at a loss as to what I else I can try. Wireless on the phone works, wireless on the laptop works, just setting up wireless sync doesn't
anything else to add
I have tried EVERYTHING to get this working. I have disabled everything that might be blocking the ports, I have reinstalled software, you name it.
Nothing.
The strange thing is, the phone worked and synced fine on Windows XP, then I upgraded (moved sideways?) to Vista and now I'm screwed. This is s**t Microsoft.
They can't tell me anything
MAke sure you are signed into the Zune software. i think this has to be done to let zune know that you are connected to the network. I think it is just a wierd bug thats never been caught. for some reason my auto sign in doesn't work. But i couldnt get it to work so i closed zune, then re-opened it signed in (top right corner of zune) then wen to settings and it worked.
I went into settings and click "Forget this phone" so that it would create a new profile. Still didn't work. Then I read on MS support Article ID: 952304 (goo.gl/6nsSm) that it may not work when connected to a public network.
D'Oh, I was connected to my VPN for work so it couldn't find my wireless access point. I disconnected/logged off my VPN, pressed Retry Wireless Sync and it worked like a charm. Then logged into my VPN again. Presto.
Hope this helps someone...
My Samsung Focus has never worked with wireless sync. I got it the day Windows Phone launched in the US and I've been through several hard resets over the past year and multiple reinstalls of Zune.
It sets up fine and then starts to sync and sometimes it will get through a song or two but it will eventually just stall during a transfer and there's no errors of any type. I can leave it there for hours and it won't progress any. I have no firewalls running or connected VPN's.
I've given up trying to get it to work. Very annoying.
I think I found the answer: According to [1] Zune is not compatible with routers using WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. Setting it to ONE of the two should make it work...

hi guys,
so i think i have a solution but my modem ist airties it can be change with other models. so i have checked the link that hades has shared in german . yes you need to choose one of thee password code and then you go to ip adress of your modem default gateaway i mean, then then there should be isolation users something you need to untick that then save it . thats what i did and it worked.
i hope it works for you too
cheers
If this problem persists even after all the solutions provided, it is most likely that Zune does not currently properly support your Wireless Adapter associated with the computer.
I have this similar issue, I can sync fine on all computers but my desktop refuses to do so. I have even tried reinstalling everything.
Zune Sync USED to work for me... it now no longer works. The only change is that I've changed carrier ROMs since my phone's original carrier refused to update to 7440 and Internet Sharing. On my new ROM w/7440 I can't get it to work like it had... this sucks b/c I do miss it. Sigh WP7 was suppose to not require ROM flashing and hacking.
EDIT: Got it past the Set Up Wireless Sync prompts by going to "General Settings" on Zune and checking the Always start software when device is connected option box.
EDIT #2:Turns out, that did not get my LG Optimus 7 syncing, as now the PC would recognize the phone over wifi, but would fail to install proper drivers. I next had to uninstall Zune using this MS FixIt tool and then I reinstalled Zune as the tool prompts you. You don't lose any information during this process! And now my wifi sync works perfectly again. FWIW I think all this may have started when I installed specific LG drivers to be able to change LG ROMs.
