Auto-away on Idle and Holstered appears to be malfunctioning. Some people have reported success by resetting the device after changing the setting. This and a number of other bugs fall into the 'Alerts & Notifications' bug category that at some point will receive a major overhaul.

Cingular 7290
Cellular Plan: ?
Options -> Ramble IM -> Network Connection: Use Device TCP
Options -> Ramble IM -> TOC Host & Port: to.oscar.aol.com:8080
TCP Configured (Yes/No): yes

APN: wap.cingular
Username for APN:
Password for APN: CINGULAR1

This also depends on wheter or not you work for Cingular. Myself and several others found this out yesterday. We are connected to our BES, and had to set things up like this:

Cingular 7290
Cellular Plan: ?
Options -> Ramble IM -> Network Connection: Use Device TCP
Options -> Ramble IM -> TOC Host & Port: toc.oscar.aol.com:1290 - This is only change we made.
TCP Configured (Yes/No): yes

APN: wap.cingular
Username for APN:
Password for APN: CINGULAR1

I know it's a little thing but it can be frustrating when attempting to ge this program working. Thanks Barney for the tip!

Soooo. Im on a verizon 7750 with no mds...Is there any way that anyone knows to get Ramble Up and running. I got to this firewall error, im trying to get around it by loading in old firewall settings. Any ideas, there has to be a way, but maybe not. HAS ANYONE EVER GOT IT TO GO ON THE 7750

thanks a bunch

What are the configurations for Vodafone?

[bperkins]

Verizon 7250
Cellular Plan: Verizon unlimited data
Options -> Ramble IM -> Network Connection: Use Device TCP
Options -> Ramble IM -> TOC Host & Port: toc.oscar.aol.com:1290
No option for TCP configuration on Verizon

I am unable to get this working on mine...any other VZW users had success with this? Could it be that I have to use my Mac email address to log into AOL IM? Works fine on my PowerBook.

I wonder if this problem with Ramble is the same situation reqwireless is eluding to.

Thanks cbotd. Could be that is the problem. If I could just get all of my AOL buddies to get a Blackberry and use BB Messenger I would be set.

Great Avatar......Love DMB. Heading out to Red Rocks in September. Put in for all three nights through the WSHE but only got night 3. You going to make it to Bonner Springs?

Guys i need Help im on BES 4.0 and i have Cingular 7290

i get this:

"The application Ramble has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy"

Then I click "OK" and I get this message:

"Invalid Connection String: Permission denied"

I have checked the firewall setting and its enabled and i cant disable it...
i have tried port 80, 8080, 1290 and i tried the 7100g and 7290 and nothing works i get the same thing...

Any Ideas???

[mextel]

My girlfriends 7100t does not allow ramble to connect period, I configured everything the way this website says and it won't work

[Soapm]

Try direct connect...

[jetspeedz]

it just wont work on the 7290 for sure if firewall is enabled...

[Soapm]

From what I was told by RIM everyones firewall is enabled. Tell us more about your BES?

Does it allow MDS? When you go to Options ==> Browser how many options do you see in your default browser config and default MDS browser and what are they set to? When you go to Options => tcp is your APN filled in? Who is your carrier and what is in this screen?

I get the message: Invalid Connection String: Could Not Open Tunnel - Failed.

I am using a 7100g and am not on BES yet - using Redirector. I have tried the following TCP settings:

APN: isp.cingular
Username:
Password: CINGULAR1

also tried:
APN: wap.cingular
Username:
Password: CINGULAR1

also tried:
APN: blackberry.net (suggested by Cingular rep)

Any help would be appreciated.
