Hi,

I am really stuck on something which was working yesterday. I was putting

+";" + "deviceside=true;apn=wap.o2.co.uk;tunnelauthuserna me=o2wap;tunnelauthpassword=password"; at the end of the url for a http connection.

All of a sudden I am getting tunnel failure errors with this approach without a way of finding the error. So now i try

+ ";" + "deviceside=false;ConnectionType=mds-public and i get success with first http request with this approarch but then i call a url with the exact same approach and i get a runtime error (input stream). I have looked and looked and i cannot see a difference so my questoion is this..

Once i've called + ";" + "deviceside=false;ConnectionType=mds-public can i not call it again or something?

Or if anyone can tell me more about the tunnel failure error I'd appreciate it.

I use the o2 apn settings as i have a vodafone bb which has their apn settings hard coded!

Regards

Brendan

Are you closing the connection and the stream in between calls?

Hi Doug, thanks for your help (again!).

Yes i was closing the connection, spent 2 days falling for tht one once before. It was because on the variables had a space in, had to do a .trim() beforehand.

Do you think i'm setting myself a trap Using the deviceside=false; approach which is working? I plan to submit app to bb world and i'm thinking this is an un official approach to accessing bis. Only lernt about it today due to the tunnel failure.

regards

";deviceside=false" isn't going to get you very far outside of the simulator. This will only work on a device connected to a BES network, unless you append BIS-B credentials.

If you are not a BB Alliance partner, I would try WAP2 first. Your service book contains the necessary parameters. See this article:

Livelink - Redirection

Hi Doug,

I'm not following it blindly but i was looking for a way to connect thrugh bis and found this, then i check my log event after opening my sat nav app and find this as a log for prefix - devicesside=false;ConnectionType=mds-public

So i tried it and it got rid of my tunnel failure errors - i have found quite a few sites documenting it.

deviceside=true means u have direct TCP connection
deviceside=false means u are connection to some URL through MDS

ConnectionType=mds-public tell that u are using BIS not BES

Anyone heard of ";deiceside=false;ConnectionType=mds-public" ????


Maybe i'll just try this first, apn second and wireless third.
