Mobile Chess on BB Curve

Sort:
Flanne

You somehow need to give the mobile app permission to connect to the internet. I am not familiar with how to do that on the Blackberry 9700 bold.

Wait wait wait...where is this app???  I've been dreaming of this.

Navigate here with your Blackberry: http:\\chess.com\mobile

But be forewarned that this constitutes an escalation to your chess addiction.

Grobe...in addition to being outrageously funny, you are a saint.  thank you.

im on a blackberry 9700 bold , and with Orange and can not connect after logging. It just says connecting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have the 8900 Curve and it's doing exactly that.  I had to take out the battery to try again...because it was frozen on the "connecting".  About to try again...though I don't have the APN details.

I think I've heard of examples where the "Would you like to allow this application to connect to the Internet" dialog opens off screen for some reason.  This could be your problem.

Unfortunately I only have sympathy -- not solutions.

I do not have the APN details , checked the posts but cant find one for Orange in UK !!!!!!   Or am i being stupid ????????

Someone must have the solution for the BB 9700 bold ????

For Orange in the UK, try the following APN details:

APN: orangeinternet
Username for APN: [leave blank]
Password for APN: [leave blank]

And see how you get on...

Please help me, if you can!! I have the same problem: when I press on "Login" I can see the "Connecting.." message but, after then, nothing else... Frown

My device is Blackberry Storm 2 (9520) and the provider is Vodafone Italia.

Thanks in advance.

Try the following for Vodafone Italia;

APN address: web.vodafone.it
Username: <leave blank>
Password: <leave blank>

 Thanks for your reply. From Options --> Advanced --> TCP  I only can choose to activate APN settings and APN authentication (with username and password), but there isn't a field with APN name. Undecided Is it another menu for APN name?

aault

If you activate APN settings, can you then enter the APN address?

 No, I can't.... the only fields available are "User name for APN" and "Password for APN".

Same here...

 

It says Installing and then suddenly fails. Is it a South-Africa thing? Cause I get that alot.

Please help


Nope its works for me In South Africa.

I have a Blackberry Bold 9000.

In options > Advanced Options > Advanced Options > TCP/IP

Then I just put a tick in "APN Settings Enabled"

This worked for me !

In an effort to tget this going i tried to disable the mobile connection and only use WiFi through my WiFi router/ADSL. I could browse the net and everything, but Chess.com still dot not work until i enable mobile connection. As if this app woul only use moble network ???

anyway THANK YOU AAUTT

I need to visit my phone carrier.  On the phone they act like they've never heard what I'm talking about.
