Hi I have an unlocked 8520 running on OS 4.6
I had it unlocked and I managed to get the interent working as i have unlimited interent on my 02 sim, but although the browser works none of the interent dependant apps work such as google maps or facebook app, I know other apps like the bb messenger wont work or pin messages as i dont have blackberry service on my account, but seeing as the browser works there must be a way to make googlemaps work there must e a hidden setting somewhere that i am missing can anyone help me with this issue.

Do you have the correct APN settings?

Wow your post is very difficult to read as you have only one very long sentence, kindly edit this as our forum is not a text messaging place plus you will get a much better response if your post in more readable format with good sentence structure, some capitalization, etc.

Moved to the 8500 section.

You need to add the BB data plan to your account. The BB browser, Google Maps and Facebook are considered RIM services and along with email, BBM, BB App World and certain other data intensive apps. No work around that I am aware of.

The Facebook app REQUIRES a Blackberry bolt-on; google maps may or may not require it, but alot of other applications do.

Sorry about not writing that properly.

I have correct apn settings as the built in Blackberry browser connects and works.

I understand i cannot use BB messenger or email as they are RIM services but seeing as the built in browser worked by tweaking the settings i thought there would be a way for googlemaps and facebook to work seeing as they only run there data throught the normal gprs channels.

I had to change some advanced settings and also change the apn settings.

It appears that the googlemaps is still trying to access the interent through another apn or setting somewhere else in the phone. I have been althrough the phone and the only thing i can thinks of is service books.

That brings me onto another wierd problem the phone oringinally had tmobile service books seeing as it was locked to tmobile but now the 02 sim is in it has 02 service books yet I never sent them or changed them in any way. Does the phone automaticlly add serice books to the type of sim inserted or something?

Facebook is a RIM developed application, and therefore requires a blackberry data plan.
