   You could try checking if the TCP settings for the phone has been set yet. You will need to go to Option  > Advanced > TCP

   and set according to carriers. Further information can be found in the url below:

I am trying to connect via cell network but the device is trying to connect via Wifi. 

   If you are using WiFi make sure WiFi is connected to internet.

   If you are using 3G/EDGE connection make sure that WiFi is disabled or not connected on your phone or go to Qik  menu->Network Settings

   and uncheck "use WiFi" item.

   Also make sure you have set TCP settings for your Blackberry device correctly according to your operator (Options->Advanced Settings->TCP).

Why do I have this error, "Error starting Qik: Class 'net.rim.device.api.system.WLANInfo' not found"?

   This means your OS version is old. We recommend OS4.5 for non-CDMA devices and OS 4.3 for CDMA devices (8130, 8330).

   You may find some update on the internet or request update from operator. 

 

I have to reset permission each time I launch Qik, how do I prevent that?

   You will have to set all permission to "allow" and press Blackberry button and select "save" from menu on permission screen. 

   You might have to reset permission each time you access the network at your work place as the IT policy at your company might block these permission

   Also, if you are using BES/MDS, we do not support that for now.

 

 I have hit "55" but no twitter messages goes out, why is that the case?

   Hit 55 to send out Twitter notifications only apply to Nokia phones, on iPhone, there is a "send alert" button.

   On BlackBerry switch "Send alert to Twitter" option to ON state. You need to enter your twitter credentials under edit profile on the website. 

 

What is the APN settings for Blackberry?

  

  You can try entering "Blackberry.net" for the APN and leave both the username and password empty. There are a few other APNs that works:

 

   Orange UK

   APN: orangeinternet

 

   Etisalat (United Arab Emirates)

   APN: etisalat.ae

 

 

   APN: wap.cingular

   Username for APN: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

   Password for APN: CINGULAR1

   APN: isp.cingular

 

   APN: proxy

 

   O2 UK

   APN: mobile.o2.co.uk 

   User Name: mobileweb 

   Password: password

 

Leave the username and password empty.

 

Where can I download the Alpha version for the BlackBerry Storm?

 

   We do have an alpha version for the Blackberry Storm and would like to invite you to test the alpha version and give us your feedback. 

 

   The alpha version may contain a few bugs and we will be working to solve those bugs to make the version a better one for our users. 

 

   The alpha version could be downloaded from your Blackberry Storm Browser at http://qik.com/dl/298. 

  

   If you have any questions, please email us at blackberry@qik.com. 

 

 

   We appreciate your feedback on the alpha version and look forward to hearing from you soon. 

 

   We are working on a Qik version for the latest Blackberry OS 5.0.

 

Must I have a SD card installed in my Blackberry for Qik to work?

 

    You will need a SD card for Qik to install to BlackBerry Curve and Pearl.  A SD card can be easily purchased from a nearby electronics store.

   For BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm you may record video to internal device memory.
