I am using a Verizon 7750 BB. I have updated to 4.0. I have recently installed BBToday and everything is functioning correctly except the weather display. I go to preferences>then select Non BES. I put in my zipcode, because Lookup Location ID does nothing, then I save. On the BBToday screen I click the menu then click Update Now. It says "The application BBToday has attempted to open a conncection to a locaton inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT pollicy." Then on weather display it says "Permission denied". Please give me any feed back on how to get this weather working properly. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Anybody?! Please, I sure would love to have the weather! :D

go to mobile.blackberry.com & receive PUSH weather reports.

I can't seem to be able to put letters in for a location code. It only seems to like a five digit ZIP. Any ideas?

Thanks

You must be using an old version of BBToday.. I believe 1.4 and higher now uses the location code.

Go here (Example lookup for the default local setting that loaded on mine)
http://www.google.com/alpha/Top/Regi...dlands/Weather

Then start from 'United States' or applicable and continue drilling to localities and to the local city that has a weather link. Then you will see an URL from the weather channel with your appropriate location ID.

Replace the BB Today location ID then chose save on the menu and it will work for your location now.

I have the exact same equipment and the exact same problem, so if you figure it out, please let me know as well.

Thanks

I cannot locate my location code as well as have a failed message when trying to open a tunnel. This is regardless of the MDS proxy setting.

As for location code - closest I can figure out for New York City is USNY515 but I'm not sure if this is correct as I can't get anything to work (stocks also report tunnel opening failure).

Some useful suggestions for next release:

• at least a help file supplied (in the zip file would do)
• an 'about' option to easily determine version

If you find an answer I'd love to hear about it...

Try using just your zip code for the location. From what I have found on the other location codes, they are usually set up for four letters to establish country and state, and then four numbers for geographic location. Based on your input, you might be missing the forth digit. Hope this helps.

Go to this web site http://www.almanac.com/weather/forecast/locations
Select you state, then your city. In the web page Address you will see the location code, for me, Staten Island, NY it's USNY1401

Here's what I just did for one of my users... I typed in the name of the closest city and did a lookup on it, it found me the right code and I saved it from there.

Once you type in the name of the city, click the trackwheel and do the lookup from there.

Make sure you save the code it puts in, for some reason it wasn't prompting me to save or anything if I just hit the escape button.

Here's another site for finding location codes that are compatible with BBToday and BBWeather: http://www.aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx.

DavidE... When I try to enter St. Catharines, Ontario, which is CAXX0416 accoring to the link you gave, BBToday comes up with an error refreshing the weather data, yet on a standalone version of BBWeather, the location ID works fine... go figure eh...

I have version 1.5 of BBToday I believe.

Corey, that is odd -- especially since both programs were written by the same developer. I'm currently using BBWeather, and not BBToday, so I have no way to check the CAXX0416 code in BBToday. Maybe someone else could try it.

u will need to change the BES server policy, or reload your BB

Hi everyone,

BBtoday will work with your zip codes. enter APN "your carrier wap address" setting under your TCP and I believe it will work. Another step is I found many threads that auto update weather does not function properly. What I did is I setup duration to 4 hrs and configure to update after full hours. ( meaning that 4:10pm or 8:10pm ) The reason which I realized that the weather update at weather web site occurs every hours at XX:51 minutes and your BB pull data happens to be at that time you will get error.
This is my 2 cents advise.

winmaw...

I don't have a zip code, I have a postal code. Try putting in L0R 2AO and see what kinda weather that gets you.

cd.

Hi,

Is it L0R2AO ? It shows invalid location.

That is my postal code, yes... Put any Canadian postal code in and see if it's a valid location... hrm eh...
