I did a security wipe and when I turned it back on, Wifi Hotspot was there.

Ok funny things happening here. As soon as my phone starts to Sync with our BES server, my Wifi Hotspot thing disappears. Any ideas?

That is strange. Perhaps our BES site expert Ice2921 may have an idea as I'm clueless. I could only guess there is some type of restriction.

For some reason I'm unable to download the OS file. Any idea why??


Downloading now. At last. Only at 50kB/s though.

Three hours later and I have 7.1 running on my BB9900.

Took 2hours to download. 1 hour to update the OS and do three battery pulls.

Now I just have to see how it operates over the next few days.

Thanks for this awesome OS.

Definately a problem with BES and 7.1.0.190. Did a security wipe again, everything was there, as soon as BES started sync, I lost wifi hotspot and Device Analyser. A little help here please...

So I'm not the only one with this problem. I want Mobile Hotspot
Did you removed everything with the security wipe? E-Mails, contacts AND all installed apps?
Which carrier do you have? Cause I read on the internet that T-Mobile forbids tethering, that could be the problem.

Users have to take into account as to why you may be having difficulty accessing Mobile Hotspot on your BlackBerry device.

1.) Your carrier must have enabled tethering on your account
2.) The WiFi radio must be enabled for Mobile Hotspot to work
3.) Mobile Hotspot uses your data plan

Well BBryan most carriers allow tethering as long as the customer pays for it. T-Mobile included. as for the main issue, an IT policy could be preventing it from functioning. I would follow Grims advice and make sure the following is done.
post back with your results.

1.) Your carrier must have enabled tethering on your account
2.) The WiFi radio must be enabled for Mobile Hotspot to work
3.) Mobile Hotspot uses your data plan

Hi Grim. That is not the problem. 7.1.0.74 worked fine with BES, and I had the Wifi Hotspot option. With .190 as soon as BES starts to sync, the option disappears along with the diagnostic option.

OK, I give up. As soon as my mobile receives the network signal, Mobile Hotspot disappears. So, there's nothing wrong with this OS, it's T-Mobile that doesn't allow tethering.

T-mobile does allow tethering. I am T-mobile employee. I would check with T-mobile Nl as they should follow the same network feature structure as tmobile USA

At this point in time since your still having issues I would contact customer care from a phone OTHER THAN your blackberry and speak to care to make sure your setup for tethering and then to technical support if your still having issues.

Additionally Carriers like Tmobile do have special service books that we send to the device to enable our "virtual preload" (options like tmobiles "web2go", "tmobile mall", Tmobile name id", and other tmobile specific services.) since the 7.1.0 os is not any of tmobile's official builds you may not be getting the service books sent to your device.


Best of luck

Bryan, if tmobile Nl does not have any tethering option please accept my apologies for insisting that they have the feature.

Yeah, anyway, thanks for your help!
I will contact customer care. I found this at Mobiele telefoons en abonnementen met online korting kopen | T-Mobile
They explain how to use Personal Hospot on iPhones and it says you have to pay for it. I'm not sure if it counts for all mobile devices.

I translated it with Google:
How can I use Personal HotSpot?

IOS5 in the function 'Personal Hotspot' visible on your iPhone. You should therefore first to accept this update through iTunes. The function and how to use them, can then be found at:

-institutions
-general
-network

Then it is necessary to activate the bundle MyHotspot, which you must have iSmart subscription or iAbonnement (after April 4, 2011). You can bundle them monthly on or off at My T-Mobile.

The MyHotspot Advantage Bundle costs € 15, - per month. For this amount you can use Personal Hotspot and you will receive an extra GB for mobile internet. Using T-Mobile HotSpots in the Netherlands is free.

I am located in India and my Service Provider is Vodafone India. On upgrading to this OS from .353, I had a funny problem...
1. After then OS install, at the top of my screen (where the Operator's name displays) I got a message that read "sim not allowed:3".
2. The Signal Strength indicator at top right hand side of the screen showed "SOS" in red.

For resolving this, I tried a couple of battery pulls with SIM card removal and re-insert. Yet no luck. Then I got busy with some work for an hour and just let my phone sit there. After an hour, I came back to it and restarted my phone using the "Alt + Right-Shift + Delete" combination...I don't know why I did it...I just did.
And Voila! My phone started working and I had full Network Signal with Blackberry Services restored.

Just thought I'd mention this situation that I encountered.

I also have the "Mobile Hotspot" option available to me.

I's too early for me to give my opinion about the OS though. Will report back on this later.

Thanks for reporting, sameer. Very interesting encounter you had.

I see you have been a member for some time now on . Nice to see you post in the forums!
