New Bb 8830 Help

[haxpak 6]

hello everyone,

i bought bb 8830 from a fren here on rimweb (os 4.2.2).

it is a verizon version,

the friend who sold it to me, unlocked it,

activated reliance esn and also told me that the phone had got ist gps activated.

although when i got the phone,

in order to be able to use d2g, i upgeaded the phone os to 4.5 using auto upgrade in dm.

he told me that i must change the pde option to dbm in order to get the phone to work, but everytime i write to phone using qpst, it probably does not accept the option change.

also,

it does not take in the service books provided by muffadal here in the forum, i am unable to replace them.

and crackutil always says wrong password

Also i had a concept in mind, that if i could somehow get my laptop internet to be shared on the blackberry, someting like n95 does using w-lan, but here no wifi support so some cabled option probably?

please help me out with this one

@ gurus

please tell me how do i use my gps and gprs,

all the forum posts i have gone through, i was able to make out this conclusion:-

GPS:

set pde to dbm

GPRS:

upload service books as provided by mufaddil here

well my problem is,

when ever i try to upload the service books phone does not take it.

And pde has not been able to be set to dbm (when i write to the phone in servie programming it does not give any errors but when again later i do a read from phone pde is set to ip)

please help me with this one.

please experience holders reply

1. For SBs, u need to enable Leagsy Service books. Then u dont have to use crackutil. Goto Options - Adv options - Serbice books. Now type SBEB & u will get a popup ' Leagcy SB enabled'

2. Now connect to DM & copy SBs.

GPS wont work with verizon handsets i beleive as i am using it & have done much research

even when u download GPSED from browser

GPSED people tell

if u are using Verizon handset than don;t download as it will not work

for GPS in Verizon handsets we need to VZ Navigator which is for usa & not for india

Right

I was also using GPSED on my Verizon 9530 which I am selling now.

Dr M had posted the method to activate it on this forum & I was able to use GPS on GSM wout any issues.

but don't know i am not sucesful with the GPS

so finally i did't try more on it

dont rely too much on bb gps

its a hit and miss

for flawless GPS performance android or windows mobile are perfect

i agree with dr tht its a hit n miss...but once the lock comes up thn gps works properly n with google maps it localizes ur location to as close as 50-70 mtrs..n tht too on cdma in bb8830 ......gsm doesent allow gps to run on inbuilt gps..

That is true for BB8830 GSM Part, but I never faced this problem on Verizon Storm 9530 either on RCDMA or GSM. GPS (either with MG Maps or Google Maps) worked flawlessly.

[Mufaddal 678]

n with google maps it localizes ur location to as close as 50-70 mtrs..n tht too on cdma in bb8830

thats not gps

it uses cell tower triangulation and gives u approx location
