For those people who needs to lookup weather quickly on BlackBerry:Download BBWeather

Please Note: There are other excellent programs such as PocketDay and BBToday. They also do weather as a subset of their functionality such as displaying other status information (i.e. missed calls)

Does this download the data when you go to view it, or does it poll at some rate?

Congratulations,

BBWeather is a great small tool, two and a half things missing:
- proxy authentication support in case you have to run via MDS Server
- I would like, to keep data traffic low, to be able to increase the repeat interval further high (not only 120 Minutes for Actual Conditions and 240 for the forecast)
- Lookup of the location ID inside the tool or a small other 'tool'

I simply love this program. But, every other time I attempt to update it, I receive the message "Error: Malformed Address. Returning null connection"

Does anyone else get this error? How do I stop it?

I am on Cingular, BWC, version 4.0, with a 7290.

Thanks!

I too have the same problem with this weather applet within BBToday or "could not open tunnel - max timeout". I don't have any problems with the weather applet within PocketDay so it must be a problem with this free applet. I get similar problems with the stock tracker within BBToday also. If I ask it to update a couple of times, it will work fine for a while, but automatic updating weather and stocks is hit and miss. Can't really complain though - the price is right!
I too have a 7290 with operating system 4. I use BES with Rogers.

I had this problem with the weather inside of BBtoday on my 7520 but since i deleted the bbtoday and downloaded just the weather I havent had not one issue with getting my weather on time.

Very accurate weather reports. It's easy to use.

I get this message:

"Error: Could not find a service book entry of IPPP."

what does that mean?

I also get that message.....any thoughts out there?

not trying to be a bump/jerk, but has anyone else encountered this?

hmmm, at least BBToday's weather works......would like to have the expanded capabilities of BBWeather's 10 day forecast and multiple profiles however. any help would be appreciated.

yep i had to turn off firewall to get it to work but since i turned it off it has worked flawlessly

dawg, is this the message you were getting?

"Error: Could not find a service book entry of IPPP."

yes it was

My firewall is already disabled

Love BBtoday, but have never been able to get the weather or stocks to work right.

could not open tunnel- max timeout

This happens to me all the time but when it does, I manually click 'refresh now' and it usually never fails.....usually.

Same here CLee

tried to manually refresh on the weather and stocks, "update now" showed up on the menu drop down. no go though. still max timeout

I run a 7520 and that always works for me

The only issue I have with BBToday, as with others, is getting max timeout or wrong DNS, which like others also is corrected by manually asking it to update. I have a 7290 running 4 on BES. I think it is just a delay issue in contacting and getting information back from the web site for updating of weather and stocks.
As stated on a different thread dealing with the new release soon of version 2 of PocketDay, I never get these issues with that program, but on the other hand, I think that the free BBToday does a much better job at handling stocks than the pay PocketDay. It does not look like there will be any changes to speak of in stock reporting in PocketDay 2.

Roger that, I have the same problem and I'm on Cingular, BWC, OS 4.0 with a 7290. Same device, same problem. I'll try to figure it out...
