Blackberry APN Override

---

Issue:

Application is unable to access server even though device is able to browse non-T-zones sites.

Response:

Verify that specifying an APN will resolve the issue and then modify App to do so.

1. Specify APN using this article from the Blackberry Knowledge Base.
2. Test application. If it fails to connect, the APN is not the issue.
3. If the application works with the override APN, specify the APN within the App as described below.


The Blackberry Knowledge base provides the following code sample to overide the device APN:

Connector.open
("socket://yourServer:5445;deviceside=true;apn=epc.t mobile.com;
tunnelauthusername=user165;tunnelauthpassword=user 165password")

The tunnelauthusername and tunnelauthpassword parameters can be omitted from the connection URL if they are not required by the APN.

Note: T-Mobile does not currently require the use of username or password authentication. The APN used should be epc.tmobile.com
