The blackjack is running AKU 3 of WM5, This allows for internet sharing on the device. Connect your phone with the USB cable, go to Start, Applications, File Explorer then navigate to the Windows folder. Open it up and scroll down to Internet Sharing ( press the letter L on the keypad a couple of times to get you close to it and minimze scrolling), Select OK once you're on Internet Sharing. Once opened, on PC Connection select USB. Then press the left softkey for Connect. That's it. Your PC should now be connected through your phone. There are no settings on you PC to mess with. This will work with a Bluetooth connection to the PC as well

ps: It will work for XP ...for Vista or any other OS i am not 100% sure

The phone external casing must be disassembled and assembled back, checking keypad connector and refitting the keyboard in place.
If that does not work, then the keypad must be replaced.

Here a video on how to disassemble Blackjack, procedure is the same on BJ II : Samsung Blackjack Disassembly .

It is better having the job done at a phone repair shop, so that you do not risk to cause more damage to your phone.

Buy the data plan. Not free but you will have internet =)

Try a new partnership with your pc and and use active syn to update your phone.

Under connections you'll find wi-fi in theresomewhere and choose it as default connection and you should be good to go.

Hope this els,

What format are the itunes songs in? The Blackjack II will read WMA, MP3, and a few others but not itunes format.

The easiest way to get music on the phone is by putting all of the songs onto a memory card (Micro SD) and then put the memory card into the phone.

Hello again dogbyte!

Fantastic! I'm thrilled to here the first fix went well!

Here's the deal on your most recent question...(Please excuse the long post - I'm intimately connected to this particular issue, so I figured I'd try to share some of the background on it.) Are you using GoodLink version 5.0.x by chance?

Our team has actually submitted bug reports to both GoodLink and AT&T on this issue. The BlackJack II has a connection setting called "AT&T IMS" (supposedly there to offer additional features on the AT&T network sometime soon.) Unfortunately, when GoodLink 5.0 is provisioned on a BlackJack II with this particular GPRS connection setting, internet problems are basically guaranteed.

The BlackJack II will successfully connect to the internet to download, install, and synchronize GoodLink. The first time the device disconnects from data services (i.e. - roams out of data coverage, the device is powered off, the device hits critical battery, etc.), data will not reconnect.

You've got two options:

I. Delete the "AT&T IMS" GPRS Connection Setting

1) Navigate to Start > Settings > More... > Connections > GPRS
2) Use the multi-directional pad to highlight the AT&T IMS connection.
3) Click Menu > Delete
4) Press Yes to confirm the delete.
5) GoodLink and Pocket IE should be able to connect to data services again in 5-10 minutes or less.

Note 1: Solution I needs to be performed again if the device is hard reset. If your user(s) need to hard reset the device upon occasion, you may want to make the instructions above readily available to the user, OR consider option II to prevent confusion (if option II is available).

Note 2: Changing the Access Point Name on this connection from "ims.cingular" to "wap.cingular" can also solve the problem, but it's not always consistent.


I. Provision the BlackJack II with GoodLink 4.9.3.x.

This last stable release for GoodLink 4.9 seems operate without the same data issues. Although Good 4.9.3.x doesn't offer some of the more robust features of Good 5.0 (such the ability to send email attachments from the device or RSS feeds), we've been deploying Good 4.9.3 to BlackJack II users since we discovered this issue a little over two weeks ago, and it's definitely made a postive difference.

Another Potentially Related Issue

You may also notice surprisingly frequent "403 Forbidden" messages in Pocket Internet Explorer on AT&T devices (including the BlackJack II).

All Internet Explorer traffic from an AT&T device goes through AT&T's proxy. AT&T's proxy apparently includes a rule that disconnects a user if they haven't used the web for a specific period of time (I've heard 2 hours, but that may vary). Unfortunately, AT&T and Microsoft haven't figured out a way to simply open that Pocket IE connection back up... at least not easily.

If you're seeing "403 Forbidden" errors, you'll want to do one of the following to close and reopen the data connection:

I. Reboot the phone
(closes and reopens all of the connections)

II. Manually disconnect cellular data
1) Click the Power/Quick List button on the top of the BlackJack II. The "Quick List" should appear
2) Select Wireless Manager
3) Click Menu > Disconnect cellular data
(You should notice the "MEdia Net" indicator under "Phone" change to "On")
4) Click Done to return to the Homescreen.
5) Open Internet Explorer again and navigate to the desired page.

Note: Although the "403" error doesn't necessarilly interfere with GoodLink connectivity, manually disconnecting cellular data will. If you don't open IE an actively open a data connection to reach the web, you'll probably want to open GoodLink and do a quick manual Send/Receive, just to make sure that it re-establishes its connection.

Sorry for the book! I hope one or both of these help.
Have a great weekend,

Error Your Internet connection is not configured properly. Please verify your settings in data connections.
I can't find data connections?

to turn up the ring volume on the blackjack, there are two on the left hand side above the ear/charger port a UP & DOWN. those i use to adjusted my volume.

Plug your phone in through the usb port and have the sync programmed installed, then on your phone go to start, applications, file explorer, and then go to the windows folder and search for something called internet sharing and then open it and then tell it to connect....i believe you have to pay for the internet on your phone service...but after you do all that it should work -mitch- [email protected]
