Some Blackberry devices don't have a menu button so these devices work differently for configuring the software:
- To open the configuration screen: press <space>
- To save your configuration: press ALT + <space>

[edit] Known Issues
[edit] Synchronization Successful but Nothing Syncs
This has been seen on T-Mobile. It is suspected that T-Mobile has an error in a proxy server that runs on port 80. The solution is to use the following address as the sync url:
URL - http://sync.ScheduleWorld.com:8080/funambol/ds
[edit] Synchronization failed. could not open tunnel - failed
The solution was posted to the forums by cbusddc. Reformatted for the wiki:
It may be a problem with your APN settings. Third party applications generally require this to be configured to work properly. You can find the setting by going to Settings->Options>Advanced Options->TCP.
For Cingular:
APN: wap.cingular
username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: CINGULAR1
For T-Mobile:
Gateway APN: wap.voicestream.com
Gateway IP: 216.155.165.50
Gateway Port: 9201
If only the APN is provided you will get an error asking for the IP.
For AT&T: (no username or password)
Gateway APN: blackberry.net
username:
password:
For Vodafone (UK)
Gateway IP: 212.183.137.12
Port: 9201
APN: wap.vodafone.uk
username: [email address]
password: user
Also, make sure the APN associated settings are blank in the application settings for the SyncML client.
I should also note that the applications previously mentioned (web browsing with the built in client, Google talk, etc.) do not require the APN settings in order to work properly which is probably why you do not have an issue with them.
[edit] There seems to be a problem with certain types of recurring events:
- monthly events specifically set to occur on the 1st <day> of the month, or the last <day> of the month
- yearly events set to occur on the <nth> <day of week> of <month>.
This is being investigated.
[edit] "proxy error page"
Someone posted about Orange France having a broken proxy. The solution was: Disable the proxy on BlackBerry :
Choose Options -> Security Options -> TLS -> TLS Default Choose Handheld and not the Proxy setting.

[edit] General Exception / TMobile / If All Else Fails
If none of the other suggestions work for you it might be that you have to use a different URL:
http://sync.scheduleworld.com:8080/funambol/ds Also leave the Gateway APN, IP, and Port blank in the SyncML client configuration.
[edit] Blackberry 7130 Device
Unable to open Configuration. Scheduleworld Sync responds only with an alert asking for username and password to be entered in Configuration.
[edit] Calendar Duplicates - Multiple Blackberry Calendars
Note: This advice was provided by a ScheduleWorld user who wanted to help others use the service effectively. I haven't tested this personally and it looks like you should be careful with 'rset'. --MarkSwanson 12:44, 6 May 2009 (EDT)
- Go to the Blackberry Calendar.
- Select the menu key and choose options.
- Type ‘rset’ and follow the prompts to delete ALL calendars. This will cause the ‘default’ directory to disappear, and hence the double entries will be gone.
- Synchronize the Blackberry with ScheduleWorld using the blackberry application. This last synchronization will put the calendar entries only on one calendar (the one selected as default). No ‘default’ calendar will be created.
