Hey Jonathan,

I am having some trouble. When I launch a shortcut almost 75% of the time it just sticks on the white BlackBerry™ page indefinitely, it never actually brings me to the browser although the page is downloading. When this happens if I close out of it and then launch the browser the page that was tied to the shortcut is sitting there already loaded.

So basically, by clicking the shortcut, it is loading the page, but it is just not taking me to the browser.

Have you run across this before? I really love your program, I'd just love to fix this issue. I was using a previous version before and it worked perfectly (Just without being able to name the shortcuts). As soon as I updated to 2.1.2 I started having the problem. Help please!!

As of today, I am unable to get the link to find the url I am not using the sd card as of yet to see if it makes a difference.

After pulling the battery, it is working now.
If I decide to put on SD card, do we have to place the 32x32 pixel file on card?
Actually call each file shortcut1.png, shortcut2.png, etc.
Also, I notice when you save pictures, .jpg attaches anyway. How would I get rid of it?

Can this just be downloaded over previous versions, and if so, will my current settings stick - or am I starting from scratch...

Also where is the OTA app... i'm just seeing the website

Anyone else having trouble downloading their icons. It seems that I am only having sporadic success opening the sites. The problem started today.

I also notice that if you are having trouble with your sites "hanging", click the menu button which seems to trigger the start-up

So are u back up and running now? I thought I read u were having some issues recently? Everything is connecting okay?

Thank you for asking. Yes its running. It seems to run when I hit the menu key. I never had to do this before but its no big deal.

I can't get to Jonathan's OTA site today. (I did the other day.) I keep getting an HTTP 503 Error. I can get to the site on my desktop PC. Anyone else having trouble with this?

Got it! Left out the darn "h".

blame my dad for my middle name and chance for there being so many other jonathan fishers on the planet

Wait, ahh, so we shouldn't use this (version 2) if we're still using 4.1? :[

I loaded v2.1.2 and the web shortcuts, but when I try to use them I get an "internal error". I used your JL Commander and found that my permissions will not allow the application to execute. Do you have a way around this? Do you have to go through an approval process with Blackberry in order to get this to work?

Thanks.
Chris

Update: I found that the IT Policy seems to not like the application to find the icon. I get the "internal error" message twice, probably once for when it looks for the icon in the sdcard, and then in the main flash. Then it opens the web browser to the site I wanted. I'm still not sure how to fix this problem though.

Can the icons live in a separate folder on the sd card ? - i'd like to store them in created folder called sd/pictures/icons/ - instead of right in the main pictures folder...

will that work?

no.

any way you would consider adding that functionality... Maybe have us create a folder (sd card/pictures/web shorcuticons -

many of us keep personal photos in the main photo library, and it's a bit odd when scrolling thru them or showing them in a slide show to have a Google icon pop up next - - -

i'll cross my fingers, and thanks for considering it -

Once the icons have been loaded for the first time you no longer need the pics on the device. You can store them in another folder if you like.

Here is my take on the BBF logo:

Nice, I've been wanting this big time

can someone please attach a url to each these 4 png icons,(i do not know how)to use with webshortcuts. thank you

UPDATE

do not need any longer,finished.

You do know that you can save them to your SD card, right?

by saving to my card,how will that allow me to use them as a home screen icon for my shortcuts?And sd cards only save as jpg files only not png's

It's always a good idea to read the entire thread.

BlackBerry Web Shortcuts 2.1.2

Is there an answer to this? I have a new Pearl (and didn't use this app on my 8703) and would love to be able to use the app as I assume it is supposed to work.

I have always had to place the .PNG file on a separate site where I can storee pictures and grab from there. Try that way as opposed to leaving graphic in the device.

If your reply was to my question, akosnitzky, let me rephrase the question. Clicking the icon does NOT open the browser. If I click the icon, I then have to open the browser. When I do that, the page assigned to the icon is already loaded, but this requires two clicks, one on the icon and one on the browser.

I have the same problem on my 8100, and at least one other user has reported this on the developer's website.

Thanx Jfisher nice app

Hmmm
I understand and thanks for clarifying. We agree It should do everything in one click.

When you click the icon, wait a moment and hit the esc key.
In addition, the developer is very receptive to assist.

mine installed w no issues on my 8800, my only problem is getting the icon to show up on the desktop.

I've switched to a Curve, and the shortcuts work a little better on this device. On my Pearl, the shortcuts didn't even open the browser at all. I had to manually open the browser. On the Curve, the browser opens and the BlackBerry logo appears, as if the page were loading. However, all I have to do is hit escape and the page is there. So, for some reason, Web Shortcuts works a lot better on my Curve. Having to hit escape isn't ideal, but it doesn't bother me.

cant get the icons to load.

Need a little more info than that, Betty!

thanks i got it to work

is there a Google icon available

Hello,

I'm spanish girl and I don't speak a lot of english. I write here because I'm using webshortcuts application, but I have a problem. Can someone help me, please? I've downloaded the last version for desktop, 2.1.2 for jfisher page. I want put the tittle of the page when I'm been under the icon, but instead of it appears shortcut + number. I read in this forum that there is a version where you can put this tittle, someone can say to me where I could download this version?

Thank a lot. This application is great and useful!

Bye.

When you click on "Shortcut Utility Hub" it will give you the option to fill in a icon title when you point to your custom icon and link address.
