Which BlackBerry Client on my Artemis?

[LGDP]

Hello,

I have searched hours to have a blackberry client working on my Artemis :

- have tried many versions
- have tried different ROMs from Meschle

Everytime I have same result I cannot connect to Blackberry and the black berry client does not show any service...

Anyone have HTC P3300 (Artemis) with working Blackberry client?

Please advise I I really need this for my work...

My current configuration :

HTC Artemis P3300 unlocked
Meschle's ROM 4.02 Lite w CUBE

I live in the czech republic and my SIM card is a T-Mobile one with all services activated (BlackBerry + Edge...)

Thanks

I have an Artemis and I am using the blackberry functionality successfully. Here is a site where you can find all information about HTC and blackberry:

http://sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276

Under Start-Settings-System-Device Information you can find all information required about the OS etc. of your Artemis. I use the 03.07.90 Radio version and it works fine for me. I use the Artemis Touch 3.01 Rom. Apparently nobody has been able to run the blackberry connect under WM 6.01.

For me it was crucial, to ask your IT department to re-activate my Blackberry account. Before, nothing worked and since then, it is quite stable. I use 4.0.0.97.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for reply.

So are you advising me to flash my device with a ROM containing WM5?

I would do it if I find that I can use BlackBerry as this is very important for me...

Are there any big differences between WM5 and WM6? Would I lack anything by downgrading ROMs?

Currently I have Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 WWE ROM, 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) (Lite)

Thanks again.

As mentioned, Blackberry connect does not work with WM6.1, but does with WM6. I am using

Artemis Touch 3.01 Rom

which is based on WM6.

[LGDP]

So I downgraded ROM from 4.02 Lite WM6.1 to 3.01 Lite ...

Then I installed BB Connect (same version as you as all others don't work with this ROM and my device)

Finally I got the everything working!!! What a releaf !!!

Thanks a lot!!

Nevertheless I am looking forward for next ROM from Meschle which will be compatible with newer releases of the BB Client...

Best regards,

P.S. I also tweaked registry in order to save my corporate emails to storage card instead of main memory!!

P.S.2 : Didn't you notice that your device is slower after installation of black berry services?

[TomMuench]

How did you do the tweak of the registry?

In some instances, my Artemis has become slower, sometimes it even seems, it hangs up. But it seems that this is the price to pay.

BTW, HTC and RIM have now entered into a strategic partnership and all future HTC models should be automatically provided with Blackberry connect. Thus we might see an updated version of Blackberry connect sonn, that also works with WM6.1.

Hey,

Thanks for update...

I have modified the registry this way :

1- add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"
to this place in Registry : HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

*** Note : Do not put quotes in the value... ***
*** You can edit registry with many editors such as PHM or TRK ***

2- Create a folder Mail in on your storage card

3- Copy whole content of \Windows\Messaging in the new created folder \Storage Card\Mail

4- Finally after you do this make sure that you take away the messaging today plugin from today screen (important... you can put it back after soft reset)

5- Soft Reset


-----------------------------

I have another problem now with the BB Connect. Since I installed it everything is fine just I have to unlock my phone every 30 min using a password. This is very annoying as you have to open keyboard and enter password everytime you dont use your phone for some time...

Do you have this as well?

Is there any way to disable locking of phone?

Thanks

[LGDP]

I have solved the password issue :

I downloaded MEMMAID application which is able to manage system services and I manually stopped the BlackBerry Security service.

Be careful though this is a powerful piece of software which can really harm your device if misused...

advice : do not change the service startup type (auto/manual) just stop the service after each Soft Reset otherwise you will not be able to use your device after soft reboot.

I managed to get my Blackberry Connect working on my P3300. Here are the details:

HTC P3300 (purchased in India)
Artemis Touch 4.02 ROM
Radio 3.08.90
Blackberry Connect Version 4.0.0.97
Device Id set to HTC_P3300
HKLM\System\Version\AKU = .0.3.1
Carrier = Airtel India (http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connect/airtel.in/Airtel.In/Home/ForYou/BlackBerry/)
Connecting to BES on Exchange at company workplace.

I see email, calendar, notes and contacts synced from my Outlook.

Thanks to all for the data/input on versions/radios, etc.

Hey,

I updated ROM (6.1) and for some reason the connection would last few seconds and then I would loose IP address...

Long time I didn't know what to do and even going back to original working ROM it didn't work...

Finally, I deleted my internet connection and soft reset.. HOP the connection was up and running again :-)

So now I will add again my internet GPRS connection (for www and other games/weahter...) and will see... Probably I have to setup some sort of exceptions in the lists to prioritize BlackBerry somehow...

Cheers.

BTW, BlackBerry works with WM 6.1 ! Also there is new version 4.0.0.100 which works as well for me.
