Now it seems if I click the menu key, what I need comes up...
I got it to say Tacoma in the blue bar, but now when I click on it, it say's:
Error: Invalid url parameter.

Jack, search through this thread. The answer is posted many times. C'mon man!

Here's a hint:

Carrier specific APN/TCP settings - BlackBerryFAQ

Did EXACTLY what you said above and I get:
Error: Invalid url paramenter.

Mine is correct at:
APN: wap.voicestream.com

Ok... I'll figure this out on my own then. Like I had said, I went through 12 pages, and that takes time and didn't find my specifics...

There's a RIM BIS outage tonight but I don't think it affects TCP data.

Jack, did you check the "disable MDS Proxy" box?

Yes I did and it didn't make any difference.
Without checking the box, it would say:
Error: Invalid url parameter.

With the box checked it would say:
Error: Open tunnel - failure

Jack, check the box and leave it checked.

Then go to options ]advanced options >tcp and make sure the apn is correct.
Apn:wap.voicestream.com
Everything else blank. I'm betting your apn is misspelled. If not, give it some time and try it again. Also make sure you have a valid zipcode in the location id field and city name in the city field. It works. Sometimes TMo's apn can be intermittent.

I have the APN set at: wap.voicestream.com
Location ID: 98404
Description: Tacoma
Forcast days: 5
Units: Standard
Shortcup key: None

I'm starting to feel like Mr. Bean! LOL

And check the box to disable mds proxy. Then you might try rebooting the BB. It'll work eventually with those settings. You have a data plan, right?

I have the box checked to disable mds proxy.
I have a data plan. All my internet/modem stuff works.
I'll try a battery pull now.

Ok... Finally! With a battery pull it WORKS!
Thank You Very Much for taking the time to help John!

i downloaded BBLight and like that i can set screen to light when i get email and SMS. Anything out there that will do the same for a calendar reminder? Bugs me i have to hit SPACE to wake up screen to see what the reminder is.

Thanks man

Thanks for the attached files,
I'd try many times to Have BB weather,,,

Downloading bbToday, bbWeather and bbCorrector now, thanks for allthe hard work you guys put into this stuff.

I would skip the BBCorrector. OS 4.5 has spell check built in. It's not out yet but it will be soon. I've not used BBCorrector in a long time and don't know what servers are still operational for using it.

Neat, thanks for this!

I am now using BBLight and it works great for emails and text msgs.

Anything out there that will turn on display for Calendar reminders or BB messenger?

thanks for this

first, how do you input stock symbols?
second, (at least on my 8820), the new/total overwrites the email addresses for all but the Desktop - is this a known issue?

thanks, Don

You really did good work , though I do not need the softwares you've supplied !

What? Everyone needs a weather app.

i have everything set up just like you said for the weather app but the phone still says error:bad or missing query parameters in request can you tell me what i need to fix??

What version are you using? Look in Options >Advanced Options >applications.

I'm using version 0.74

Wirelessly posted (BB 11020)

That's why it doesn't work. That version no longer works. Update your BB Weather.

alot easier then i made it thanks for all the help this is a great forum for new BB users

I did search through this tread to find my answer, I saw the question but never an answer.

Installed BB Today 1.6, got everything to work apart from stocks where I get 1 =>1

But I noticed that it will not save any of my preferences, each time I change a setting and then go back to check, its back to the default, the only change that stuck was change in Location ID of weather, everything else goes back to default.

Running on 8100 with 4.5.0.55 any ideas?

let me try
thanks

Thanks guys. I'm new to all of this.ive had my 8310 for like 6 weeks and am amazed at all this BB stuff. Although I feel locked in ATT land with the model, I'm having a blast. Thanks again for all the "hard" work that's probably cake to you guys.

I have an 8320 will bbweather work on my unit? i tried and it says no weather profiles then the unit freezes

I found it sorry I din't read everthing at first it works fine no thanks

Edit 5/9/08 by John Clark: BB Weather had to be rewritten for new weather data. The new 0.77 version can be downloaded OTA by pointing your BB's browser to:
http://www.tateu.net/software/bb.php?f=BBWeather (or the Desktop Manager version is attached below.)


I can't find the Desktop Maganer version attached below...
am I blind?!?!? please tell me where it is.

thank you all!

It's there now.

thank you!

but does these BlackBerryTools work on 8100 and last 4.5 OS??

if yes, my BBWeather shows me an Error: DNS error
what does that mean?!?

thank you again.

once i download the zip file for the BB light how do i open the program? how do i get it onto the Curve and use it correctly?

OK....I have read, read and re-read the instructions for BBWeather.

I have followed all of the steps listed and all of the responses to Jack.

BBWeather Version - .77

My current settings are:

I have the APN set at: private.centennialwireless.com
Location ID: 70501
Description: Lafayette
Forecast days: 5
Units: Standard
Shortcut key:
(Checked) Disable MDS Proxy


I am now getting

Error: Open Tunnel failure

I did a hard reset and I am still getting the same thing?

I verified via support chat this evening the APN and checked the spelling twice and still get the tunnel failure response.

I also get the same response on BBToday's Weather and Stock. Everything else works fine?


jeez - I did not want to post this question

You're not on a BES are you?
