yeah, it's true, some time in the last 24 hours or so, all my messenger messages took forever to deliver, it would give me that darn clock for a while until it would send. i thought maybe it was a BIS error. i figured sooner or later i'd see a post about it online. and i guess this is it.

Mine was messing up last night, from about 8PM to sometime after midnight. I could send bbms but not receive them, but everything seems fine now.

This probably isn't related but my data was crazy slow last night.

 
 
Posted by muneton17 Saturday, Feb 20, 2010 822 days ago

alright not again. I'm thinking this is messing with the BIS because I try and go on myspace and it says unauthorized IP via broswer. And the myspace app isn't working either, maybe just that site is down? Or something but could be like last time where bbm was messing with us.

Starting noticing problems around 7 last night. I was sending messages, and got a D for delivered, but only about every other message was actually delivered to the end user. Today it's been fine though.

Oh, and I'm on a BES

For the past 3 days! Keeps saying "No Blackberry Internet Service Available", slow bbms, even my twitter application is slow or will only refresh every 15 minutes (like it gets stuck). Emails aren't coming through or sending. 5 seconds away from throwing it @ a wall! ---Central Texas

No emails and no bbm while in 3G with AT&T. But if I'm connected to WiFi, everything is good.
Ran the diagnostic test, it shows that PIN-to-PIN connection is bad but still have BIS connection. Strange...
May be RIM is OK but AT&T is down?

Have to call them and question once i am finished this job

The only data I can get is through the wap browser on T-Mobile in Indianapolis. I called T-Mo earlier today and they said there were BIS outages, but not here, however I had the same problems that were being reported in the outages.

My wife's AT&T 9700 and my Verizon 8330 both are having trouble with BBM and continuous "Can't connect to Facebook server" messages.

 
 
Posted by jays23 Saturday, Feb 20, 2010 822 days ago

I feel I might jinx myself but nope I haven't had any problems at all. And it's possible it might be tmobile users because they're always having problems. I'm Verizon and I been good so far today ;-)

 
 
Posted by masterlin1 Saturday, Feb 20, 2010 822 days ago

My BIS was down for about 6 hours last night in Portland, OR on ATT.

Seriously. This is ridiculous. I'm about 1 more failure away from selling my Bold 9000 and I just got it back in August and moving onto a Droid phone or iPhone...and I really like my BB...when it works. Get your shit together Blackberry, its honestly embarrassing when main product is a service and it craps out sporadically, in different regions, randomly throughout the years, sometimes affecting entire countries.

Nothing to report today on MTS Mobility, but last night after 20:00 BBM was acting a little slow.

***I think everyone is just super sensitive about the slightest performance issue these days. It's a friggin miracle with all the people with BB's and the network load that the system is as stable as it is. Just a thought!***

No issues whatsoever with BBM this crappy facebook app? yes.

 
 
Posted by paliz Saturday, Feb 20, 2010 822 days ago

Seriously, the BBM outage can't be anywhere as bad as the Facebook for Blackberry application. Also, BBM seems fine w/ exception for T-Mobile Blackberry Messenger contacts who have message confirmations of 'delivered' and 'received' indicators being fouled up? Who is to blame? RIM or T-Mob???

Can't browse internet, no e-mailing, no facebook, no IM apps. Strange how some Rogers BB's have no problems, some have the same issues as mine.

Roaming on ATT. earlier in the week bbm and facebook only works with wifi on. Then it started to work normal.

Since about 7:00 MST last might, I have been getting "A connection cannot be established to the .... server" no matter which program I try to run. (This is after several minutes of waiting.) When I switch to Wi-Fi, the programs runs as expected and very quickly.

This is still true at 1:04 PM MST.

I'm on Sprint w/ the Tour and mine seems to be sporadically slow. I don't BBM many people but they always seem slow when sending to my girlfriend who is (was until today) on a local regional carrier called Centennial. We'll see how it works now that she's on AT&T. The other person I message a lot is a customer from my store who I switched from Centennial to AT&T, messages to her seem to go through normally (read:very quickly).

In ATL, GA, on AT&T BIS with a Bold 9000...been having problems for a couple of days. Phone/SMS OK and can send emails. No data apps working, no internet and not receiving emails. Spent over an hour on phone Thursday with AT&T BlackBerry Specialist who never found a problem, but got it working again by removing the data and messaging plans from the account and adding them back. Worked fine after that until this morning and now the same thing is happening. Have not called them today. Might wait this one out. Pretty damn tired of these recurring problems.

As others have stated, everything seems to be working via Wi-Fi.

I posted earlier and said that there wasn't any issues here on rogers, but i'm noticing that the messages are going through but some of them are appearing to not be delivered! I spoke with the people on the other ends, and they said that they are getting the messages- it must be something with the confirmations!

I have been experiencing one problem so far with my Blackberry Messenger. The only complaint I have is during a conversation when I am typing, the text disappears and I lose track of where and what it is I am typing. I end up having to close the message box for me to see my txt again (if that makes sense). Please solve the issue if at all possible, thank you very much.

Having small delays up to one minute of messages just giving the clock prior to the delivery confirmation. I work nights so when I woke up naturally I had about 6 emails not sure if they were delayed or not. Of course I have been noticing a delay since I did a device switch a few days ago, wonder if it is related?

i just called up rogers support line and there's a message saying they have identified a problem and some customers may not be able to send and/or receive emails, pin, text messages, browse, etc.

it started to happen to me around 12PM (Pacific TIme)in vancouver, b.c.
it works fine at home though when i'm connected to wi-fi, my emails, pin will come in. when i'm on the road or away from wi-fi, it wont work. i thought it was my phone and it was driving me nuts bcoz i have two bb bold 2, the other one works perfectly. :(

Hey guys whats up, I had this problem with my blackberry as well. I work for Verizon and had 2 customers come in with the same issue. My own and the 2 customers devices are 2 curve 2's 8530 and mine which is a storm2. Got on the phone with blackberry teir 2 tech support. This issue apparently must be fixed through them. and it is mainly happening to blackberrys with wifi built in. in my store every one else has a tour and a curve or a storm1 which has no wifi and they dont have the issue. Tech support via blackberry says its an issue via their system as a data hold up or that they are not synced with the device. They have to reset it have an analyst reset the server for each member that has that issue. they have you pull the battery and then host routing table and everything starts comin through. they have u send pin tests to their test blackberrys and they send em back. Go ahead and call the tech support for your company to have them route you to blackberry tech support.

There are lots of people affected. RIM must be working on some kind of fix for this without having to call in. And not all devices with WiFi are affected. 2 devices: one 8900 and one 9000. Both on the same network (Rogers) and both have WiFi. The 8900 is having problems and the 9000 has no problems.

If you would have noticed i did say mainly the ones with wifi not all the ones with wifi.

On cell network however :NO incoming data. No incoming BB messenger data. Seems i can send a message and other person receives but I see NO indications and no messages back.

Personal email goes out.. nothing comes back.

I had the same issue on mine and the 2 customers i helped. I could send a pin, bbm, an email, and any other outgoing data. but when i tried to use the browser to receive data or any other data feature to receive it wouldnt come through and time out.

Called Rogers after a friend in Alberta had problems yesterday, and now I'm having problems on my 9700 in Ontario... Rogers told me that they were having BIS issues for the past 36hrs, and they're "working on correcting the issue in a timely manner" but... "cannot give an estimated fix time" at the time I called (1830hrs EST).... Everything requiring data services are messed, unless you use WiFi then it works around BIS. Hopefully they get it back up soon... I'm starting withdrawl...

Posted by Fukmor Saturday, Feb 20, 2010 822 days ago

call verizon tech support and have them try to trouble shoot the problem which they wont get anywhere. have them connect you to blackberry tech support asap. I called in and had a rep transfer me right away. best bet is if they start to ask questions hang up and call again. use a land line to call cust care enter ur number and option 3 then option 4 then option 1, enter your password or last 4 of your social and go from there.

I'm a user from singapore on singtel network and I seem to be having troule getting my messages across to someone in australia on the three network. Items are sent but there's no "D" for some of my messages. Also, some of the messages that were marked "R" were never sent or delayed. This is disappointing. Got my first BB in september last year because of the raving reviews I heard about it. However, it hasn't met up to my expectations with the number of BIS outages and even BBM issues. RIM should really stop new product development and concentrate on trying to keep their old customers happy. Its not that hard to figure out that if existing customers aren't happy, you won't be getting new customers, is it?

T-mobile with unlimited everything plan on AT&T unlocked phone and self unlocked for UMA.
Ausitn, Texas, 78747

512-287-XXXX

02-19-10:
Started getting "n:n=1=1" texts, with every email, common issue when changing phones but i didnt change phones.

02-20-10: MSN, yahoo, fuze messanger, instamapper, BB app world, wouldnt connect, broswer worked fine(this is why i was so confused all day at work...)

Sent tests emails to myself but didn't get them
Now, at home i saw i recieved ALL my emails. but my phone states they didnt even send.
Also my GPS was tracked even though my phone claims data is not being sent.

I keep getting an alart to upgrade to a "new version" of the OS, which i already have, if i tell it YES, then after 5mins it times out.
THE ONLY DATA service that appears to be fine is the built in broswer.

If connected via WiFi all emails come in, GPS says it sending, app world and all other apps work.

Tmobile tech support was new and was using google while trying to talk, was funny. Couldn't say one thing without losing track...
In the end i just said "so its not just me..." and she said "ya...." i told her thats cool no big deal and i hung up.

I'm not having any problems except I've never been able to upload pics to facebook from my BB. A friend of mine is having problems with his BBM and all of his internet. BBM messages can be sent, but he doesn't get the D or the R, but the person he is sending it to gets it, and he can't receive any messages. None of his internet is working at all.
He thinks his phone is the Curve 8250 and it's with Rogers in Toronto, ON.

Thanks for any help

I noticed around noon hawaii time yesterday (Friday 19 FEB 2010) that I couldn't use any data services. Today with testing I fould I can send data but not receive. Can send BB messages and e-mail and can't use the web browser. pulling the battery doesn't help. T-mobile support is unable to help and doesn't show any problems on the network. The t-mobile web pages still work.

My phone is an unlocked AT&T Curve 8900 running on the T-Mobile network. I have my APN settings set to use wap.cingular and changing to the t-mobile APN doesn't resolve the issue.

SMS still works fortunately.

Any idea what's going on all of a sudden? I can't see any settings specific to receiving data.

So I figuredout my issue, no service books!
It appears (after talking to my Verizon Rep about why my enterprise users are hosed) that the sending and receiving of Service Books appears to be the issue.

Confirmed on my device, I only see the two WIFI service books, and nothing else. Verizon tries to resend and they get nothing...I can resend from the BIS page for my personal email but it never shows up...

At least for me, AT&T BIS on 3G is still not working on my Bold 9000. No data on any app. No email. No service books received. I put it back on wi-fi and everything works fine...even received the service books.

I am really sick of these BlackBerry problems. I don't know if the problems are with RIM or AT&T or a combination of both. Either way...it is unacceptable.

At least by reading CrackBerry I know I am not the only one having problems. And this post on CrackBerry is the only place I have seen any mention of this latest outage/problem.

I guess part of my day will be spent on the phone with AT&T trying to get some answers and a resolution.

My Tour is on Bell Mobility EVDO and has had no problems whatsoever however my wife is on the new HSPA network and her phone has been out of action since yesterday. I spent over an hour on the phone with Bell this morning after trying everything I could think of last night. Right now she has some of the service books on her device but it looks like the BlackBerry servers are refusing to send most of them and consequently she has almost no data services. Oddly enough the browser is usable but for the most part the device thinks it has no BIS connection, no maps, no messenger, no e-mail.

BB Bold (ver 4.6) through AT&T in Northern Cal; Data services (internet, enterprise email, BBM) have all been out since @ 1pm PT Saturday, 2/20; It is now 8am Sunday. Still out. My son said his 9700 is fine. My Phone service works fine. I have full 3G bars. I rebooted several times; pulled sim card; redid the Enterprise Activation; No go. Everything works fine through Wi-fi. My tech support desk said they heard nothing about BB/RIM outages...which isn't surprising. Luckily there's Crackberry!

 
 
Posted by RippedThumbs Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

How is it possible that the response is they know nothing... oh. What was I thinking.

Seriously? Most of the country is not working for 24 hours and they dont know?!!?!?!?!?.

I wonder, is there a big mountain of undelivered messages and emails somewhere? a big room where, when it fills up the alarm goes off?

weird.

 
 
Posted by chita Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

Mine went down around 12pm or so (Pacific Time) and i didnt get it back until around 7-8pm. i had to call rogers 3x. they told me oh yeah, network is back up and all good. all you do is reset your phone, do a battery pull.

after a battery pull, nothing still.
so i had to call back and the guy asked me to pull out my
battery and wait for him to reset my account. so he did the reset, waited a while and then asked me to put battery back in. after i put battery back in, i get messages that my emails are now registered blah blah blah and my phone is now registered. took another 15 mins or so before everything went back to normal.

i should also mention that when i was having the problems, i kept getting "not connected" under BIS when i look. i thought my phone was busted. :(

if your BB is not working. i suggest you call your carrier and see if they have some kind of message recorded.
once the system is back up, try the battery pull. if that dont work you probably have to call them again like i did and have them reset your account for you and all will be ok again. goodluck! :)

Nothing special with Sprint.
When RIM had the 2 outages in December I called Sprint and requested they move my annual upgrade so I could dump RIM sooner rather than later.
My business gets busy in the Spring so it was imperative I get far away from RIM by April.
All my email goes through GMail so I could care less about the PUSH email RIM boogeyman. I'm covered.

BBM has been screwing up royally for me the past weekend here and started on Friday. Allot of the same issues people are posting. Mine are not delivering and when they do seem to get through, it takes at least 20 - 30min for them to be delivered. Email hasn't been the greatest and that is crappy because mine are set to IMAP with my company exchange so they are always pretty instant. Now there are substantial delays.

I'm a very patient person but the amount of issues surrounding BBM reliability and email (which is RIM's baby) is making me very uneasy over the past year. I understand upgrades out scheduled outages from time to time but this??
Come on man!!!! Not impressed and questioning allot.

Out since noon on saturday. No internet, bbm, aim, facebook, but surprisingly Pandora and VZ Navigator work.

Everything works with wifi on.

Called tech support and they are aware of it and can't take anymore service tickets. Tried reprogramming, battery pull, and re-registering with no luck.

BBM was acting up here in Toronto on Rogers BIS yesterday for me. Noticed delayed email in the morning and then BBM's in the afternoon not being received properly or delayed. Very strange.

I was having issues last night. My brother and i were not getting each others messages. We deleted each other, and then it would never reconfirm us as contacts. It was extremely annoying. It's fine now though.

Only phone and SMS working since yesterday morning (2/21/10) at least that's when I first noticed the issue.
I called T-mobile like 5 hours ago and rep confirmed that there's a "Global Outage" but she couldn't give me ETA on the fix.

Location: Northern VA
Carrier: T-Mobile

One of the reasons I left BlackBerry was because of these constant outages over the course of three years. I finally got sick of it. God I'm glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore. They've obviously sold more blackberries than their BIS servers can handle and they obviously cannot afford to properly upgrade their infrastructure given this has been going on for three years now. It's nice being always connected again without worrying about some kind of outage stopping my ability to communicate properly.

I'm on the Sprint network and I have had no outages or issues with BBM BIS internet all weekend. Didn't know it was an issue until I logged on crackberry. (Chicago area)

No data, AT&T in Oregon. I am getting pissed also!

Very annoying but if you have contacts in messenger and those contacts send sms message the same message appears in the messenger app, this means you get the same message twice.

I'm on Movistar network Colombia, I have a bb 9700 and since yesterday noon I have no bbm and emails only when the WiFi is On, called Movistar and they have no idea.

SMS seems to be the only thing working properly
BB browser is intermittent and slow at best
Opera Mini seems to working fairly well, although slow
Google Maps is still not downloading maps
Google Sync won't connect
Mail sends, but I am not receiving on BB
BB Messenger-sent messages, but have receive no responses

Grrr!

[UPDATE: 1856 CST - Finally had mail download, BB messenger seems to be working; GMaps and GSync working, BB browser still intermittent, but better]

So my husband and I go to a party last night.A real fun party. Rock Band, Jacuzzi, lots of adult drinks there. All the fun party stuff. We leave at about
2-am. We are almost home, about 8 miles away when I receive a bbm from the hostess of the party that says, "We are doing cake at 9:00, you guys almost here". And I'm thinking, what? Yes, everyone was still in the jacuzzi, in the rain when we left and still lots to drink. So, I thought well, maybe they are expecting us to drop off the kids and come back. So of course we return to the party to find all of them still in the jacuzzi and laughing there asses off, because that messages was sent at 8:30 pm, not 2:15 am.

So YES, there is definitely an issue with BBM.

That is some Funny Shit! We just have to laugh it off.

Despite other comments made by other BB users, I rarely have an issue with BBM. I find it very dependable most of the time. I have ATT, Bold and live in California. I use BBM as my primary way to send and receive messages. I have 25 BBM contacts and it works well for all of us.

The only difference between a text and a bbm is that, you would never know if a text was not received because you do not have the ability to see whether is was even D or R. So to say it's not reliable, is unfair to RIM.

 
 
Posted by Marine One Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

It's completely fair to RIM to call BBM unreliable!!! It's one thing to be accepting of issues and entirely another to try and excuse this kind of half assed nonsense.

I went thru it for THREE YEARS, and I can safely say that BBM, along with everything that depends on BB's servers, is unreliable. That's what you call something that you cannot depend on. When I had my BB's I always had to wonder if I was getting my emails the way I was supposed to. It sucked.

I'm sorry, but most folks want a service that is better than, as you put it, "dependable most of the time".

att is the only carrier that doesn't allow a delivery check for sms, when i unlocked my bold and moved to tmobile, my 9000 downloaded tmobiles service books that enabled a delivery "D" for all SMS, not "R" for read, because that doesn't exist, but i think pretty much all other carriers allow you to see that it was delivered.

My storm is doing fine. My friends 8900 on T-Mobile has been on the fritz since yesterday ~10 AM pacific. Issues are still ongoing, but the wifi trick seems to work. As an added wrinkle, I'm their only messenger contact that hasn't been able to be reached. her other T-Mobile contacts have been able to use bbm just fine.
Perhaps that means it also depends on what devices/carriers the messages are being sent to? Just my $0.02...

So bummed, I had to use an Iphone to do foursquare check-ins in Santa Cruz yesterday AND check crackberry if there was outage. I'm also dealing with two craigslist buyers and I have no access to my e-mails. I can deal with the sh*tty browser, but when I have to use my gf's Iphone to see if there's a BIS outage that's just heinous.

 
 
Posted by alternativejuliet Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

Why is crackberry.com the only site that has said anything about this?? On day #3 with no BBM or internet unless I am connected to wifi. I am not happy at all. What's the point of having a blackberry and paying for the services if the only place you can use it is at home.

 
 
Posted by madelmer Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

Just wanted to let everyone know that the issue has been finally resolved. I called ATT and the tech had me take the battery off to then put it back in. Messages started coming in. So get on it. Mine started coming in around 5:15pm

Posted by hunoosh Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

Looking more interesting at this point! Very f***in tired of BB outages every month! You know things are bad when my ATT browser is loading faster than the BB browser!!! Very frustrating!!!

 
 
Posted by kamedos Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

As of 8pm problem fixed in Colombia!!

 
 
Posted by qwerty69 Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

Problem solved for me. My blackberry is fine now. But 3 days without service is unnaceptable

 
 
Posted by ck1220 Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

After 2 long days of outage, it seems that BBM, IM, and Internet are all working again with my T-mobile Blackberry Curve. Thanks god!

Just did a battery pull & FINALLY working in Central Texas!! It's about time. Can't believe it took 3 days.

 
 
Posted by terrymcdonald Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

What I seem to be having a problem with is when a person sends me a message on messenger it also shows up in my "text" box, NOT "messages" but "text" I must have a setting set up wrong can anyone help ?

 
 
Posted by alternativejuliet Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 821 days ago

Mine is doing something similar. When I receive a text message from someone who I also have on my BBM it goes to both. Matter in fact it was doing that right before I lost BBM and internet on Friday.

Rogers, in Ontario at least, seems to be fixed. Friend in Alberta reports BIS is fine out there. Reset my Service Book and everything works fine again!!!
