How to get UMA working on a 9800 On T-Mobile

Berryologist — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 00:46:27 +0000

I frequently get asked if UMA calling can work on the Torch 9800 on T-Mobile. I hate the question because the answer is yes, however it’s not super simple and requires you to enter the Engineering Screen on your BlackBerry. No big deal if you’re a BlackBerry veteran or pretty tech savvy. But, if you’re not careful in this hidden menu you can render your shiny new Torch useless.

Now with that said, Luis a moderator over at BerryReview has put together everything you need in nice simple step-by-step. To get started, click the link below. Take your time, if have any questions, Luis is there to answer in the thread.

Ronen over at BerryReview Goes on a Rant and We Couldn’t Agree More!

Berryologist — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:14:57 +0000

Yesterday, BerryReview’s Ronen aired a grievance that has frustrated us and many others for a long time. The article, RANT! Why Can’t RIM Let Us Delete Our BIS Account? outlines how difficult it can be to use a previously owned BlackBerry when the previous owner has not removed the device from their BIS account.

We fully agree. The average user doesn’t know they need to do this and it should be much easier. Have a look at the rant and follow BerryReview on Twitter for some of the best news, tips and opinions on all things BlackBerry.

T-Mobile having data issues with unsupported devices.

Berryologist — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:45:06 +0000

Many T-Mobile customers using unsupported devices, are loosing data connection (EDGE) for the past few days. Crackberry ran this post on the issue, T-Mobile killing service to unlocked Storm devices?. T-Mobile’s Twitter folks say “It’s not intentional. We’re looking into what happened so we can get that fixed up!”

T-Mobile Teir 2 BlackBerry support reps say, “It’s a known issue at the moment for all unsupported blackberrys on T-Mobiles Network. No reason yet to why but we are looking into it.” And, “they’ve opened a master service ticket with RIM. The issue is affecting all unsupported Blackberry devices on T-Mobile’s network.”

We’ll be trying to find out more information and pass it along as soon as we can.

****UPDATE****

Looks like tmonews.com has picked up on this as well. We got sporadic reports of people getting EDGE back today.

9550 USERS, DO NOT UPDATE TO OS 5.0.0.607

Berryologist — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:42:58 +0000

THIS HAS BEEN FIXED, IT’S SAFE TO USE 5.0.0.607. I’LL GET A POST UP ASAP. IF YOU NEED THE INFO BEFORE THEN EMAIL US AT support@berryology.com

OS 5.0.0.607 for the Storm 2 9550 leaked a few days ago. DO NOT install it. It’s either a flaw or RIM has intentionally closed the back door on how to make your phone work on other carriers. Believe which ever you like. There is also rumors this OS version will be officially released by Verzion. That means when you connect your Storm to Desktop Manager you will be prompted to updated there as well. DO NOT ALLOW. For now, stay with 5.0.0.517 and wait for the next version.

If you already did install 5.0.0.607, follow the link below on how to roll back to your previous version.
