Thank you Kingzee. Regardless, I am glad you found it and welcome to the site

I'm on VZW if that helps any.

kingzee, then that means your device never got on the BIS 2.7...

Right now I'm getting a message from Sprint that says:

Provisioning Status
The network is updating your preferred network list. Please wait...
<Cancel>

This has been showing for over 15 minutes.

Does it always take this long? Or could it be because of the BIS change?

Thanks folks

Is this why my sync on gmail has not been working? I thought it was a bug from upgrading to the .230 OS. When I delete from my handheld it still leaves the msg on the server and all the settings are the same.

Provisioning time depends on multiple factors, like the connection to Sprint's servers, their connection to RIM's, etc. Sometimes the network is just plain slow. I was told provisioning could take up to a half hour.

Thanks. I got impatient around the 25 minute period and cancelled it thinking it was hung up. Then it told me it was cancelling it, and that was taking forever, too, so I did a alt+rtshft+del reboot.

Working OK - but the next time it happens I guess I just have to let it go.

I'm wondering if it's doing this because I'm temporarily in Detroit instead of home grounds in eastern PA.

Oh well....

Got a quick question for you all, how do you know what version of BIS you have. I resent the service books, but nothing has changed, am I supposed to see any changes or what?

Did you read the posts above yours?

[SirKhumAlot]

I'm new to this forum thing, just subcribed, I have the 8330m and I installed the BerryBuzz app. My alerts are working except for my incoming call, the red flash comes on, instead of the LED color I chose, and I know the message comes up to receive optimum performance I need to change the "Repeat Notification/LED" to "none" to all my profiles. How do I do that i've been trying for hours to find that, there's no ringtone option under options. Please help and thank you.

See this BB Cool posting:

Want to Know If You’re On BIS 2.8? | BlackBerry Cool

Something is a little funny for me though:

1. My Verizon BIS login page changed
2. The 2.8 help text is accessible from BIS
3. I resent my service books
4. I have 5.0.0.230 installed
5. Despite all of this, I do not have the sync contacts check box in BIS...

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I just got home from work. Give me a minute and I will go check my BIS page and see. We have same set up looks like. Just gotta hit the banyo.

[Sydman]

Does not appear my logon page has changed. I don't have a sync contacts box. So guess I am not on 2.8.

[MidnightDraven]

See that would be great! If I had a gmail account I could try it with.... lol

[miamirulz29]

I have gmail and don't see the sync contacts check box. But then again, I'm not on os 5.0, so that may have to do with it.

Everyone is using BIS 2.8.

I noticed interesting thing when I login to my BIS account and tried to Edit one of my email addresses from domain that is hosted by GoDaddy.

BIS offered me Advanced Settings and under there is hostname of mail server, editable, and option to select SSL.
Enabling SSL didn't work for my email address, I received erro message that validation failed, but it is interesting new option.

Can't remember I have seen that before - and if you do see some new stuff when you login to your BIS account that could mean BIS was updated.

[MidnightDraven]

the advanced settings tab with those options has always been there.

I dont have it either

We are missing something. I bet Verizon needs to update something before it is available. This option is grayed out on my 9530 running 5.0.0.230. From the BIS Help site:

Turn on wireless data synchronization

Note: Depending on your messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.

By default, wireless data synchronization is turned on for organizer data, such as contacts, on your BlackBerry® device. If wireless data synchronization is turned off on your device, you must turn on wireless data synchonization before you try to synchronize your Google Mail™ contacts.

For more information about synchronization, click the Help icon on the Home screen of your device.

On the Home screen of your device, click the Contacts icon.
Press the Menu key.
Click Options.
Click your Google Mail email address.
Change the Wireless Synchronization field to Yes.
Press the Menu key.
Click Save.
