Tateau,
I'd like a brightness adjustment for BBLight.
My BlackBerry Bold can go down to 1% brightness using the BlackBerry API call, but the BlackBerry Settings->Screen only goes down to as low as 10%.

The 1% mode is used in the clock BedSide mode, which is wonderfully dim -- perfect for usage in the bedroom without waking a spouse up. And very easy on the battery too.

Great apps!

Yes this is a great app. I have a wish list also.
------------------------
If bb light could change the backlight timeout from user defined to the the maximum duration when "activated" and active then back to the user value defined value when "deactivated" wouldn't that minimize the "pulsing" effect of the bb light and backlight timeout "war" to keep the light on? Just a thought.

running v1.95. everything works except receiving SMS, email and calendar notifications. i have it set to 10 sec. does not activate.

great work on this and new v of BBweather, freaking great apps!

BBlìght 1.93 not work on os 4.1 :D

figured it out, had to activate the "activate when device is locked" !! duh!

Thanks MUCHO!

This App was exactly what I was looking for and keeps the backlight on whenever I'm using it. The only problem I have come across though is the backlight issue for the keypad. I've searched this thread from beginning to end, and didn't see anything addressing the issues of the keyboard backlight automatically dimming. My BB dims, even with BBLight activated. It goes on and off in different light conditions even though the screen is always backlit. Am I missing a setting, or did I just not see an option for it?

I just upgraded my OS to 4.5.0.160, and after I did my Enterprise Activation, I found that my BBToday and BBWeather both give the same error message for the weather portion.

"Missing XOAP 'link' parameter in request."

I have removed the tow apps, and reinstalled them to no avail. I am using versions: BBToday (1.5) and BBWeather (0.83). Both apps seemed to work prior to having to run the activation; so I could receive my mail and access my browser.

Any idea what I need to do to get these two apps to work? They are both great - I refer to both of them multiple times every day.

BBWeather is broken. It just happened today or yesterday. There are already numerous threads about it. Most likely it will need to be rewritten.

A search on "XOAP" would have found multiple threads....

Patience and someone to modify the code. Apparently The Weather Channel, whose data is used for this app has changed the protocol for acquiring the data. Both BBToday and BBWeather need to be modified to get the data with the correctly formatted calls.

If you live in my area its very hot.

Nah, THIS is hot...

Anyone with Beta OS 5.0 try out BBWeather v0.87? I downloaded JDE 5.0 Beta today and BBWeather v0.86 crashed in the 5.0 simulator. I found 3 places in the code that made it crash, fixed them and now v0.87 runs in the simulator. I don't have 5.0 on my phone so can't try it on a real device.

OTA
http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=BBWeather

BBWeather v0.88 is now available on the usual ota link.
Confirmed now working with 4.5.0.162

I wish that the BBToday program issue with all day events showing for the prior dates could be rectified. This is the only issue I have with this great program.

Is BBweather working for others?

I get an error:

bbweather error expecting an element

Working fine. Please use the "search" key to determine how to resolve the problem.

I have a storm and I am using 5.0.0.230 if you want me to try anything just holler. thomasdotmdotparker@gmaildotcom This is a great app and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know.

Sorry about the dots in the email address but the system wouldn't let me enter my email address.

I tried searching but found no resolution to fix my issue. Any help in pointing me to the right spot would be appreciated as I am obviously not searching for the right key words.

Nice.
Thank you!

Help please... has anyone been able to get this to work on a BB 8830 (World Edition) on the Bell Canada network?

With BBLight, I have 1.95 and everything works for me (i.e. vibrate+ringing simulataneously, screen light up on sms)...the only problem is that whenever my screen lights up when i receive sms, an alert pops up saying: "Do you want to allow the application BBLight to act as a server?" and the option it gives me is "Do not ask for sms_recieve" but I can't even choose the option. I always press allow anyways, but it still pops up every time i recieve sms. I have even tried pressing deny, but the same result occurs.

This app is wonderful. Thank you!!!

I am running 0.91.2 on OS 5.0.0.323 on a 9530 and everything is running very well so far. When I upgraded the OS last night, I had to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of bbweather multiple times, but it finally did work. I then decided to try .91.2 today and that's running well also.

I haven't travelled anywhere yet though so i can't yet report on GPS.

Hey tateu,
I was just wondering if you are the one who is developing the BBLight app? If you are I just wanted to say that you are doing an awesome job! And if/when you do come out with the next version, is it possible to add the vibrate+tone function to both the sms, email and calender/task notifcations also? Thanks for all your hard work!

bbweather is working well on .328. Icon is updating regularly.

Ive recently Upgraded My BB Storm 9530 to the 5.0 Software.
So I Lost the Application to BB Weather
Then I Re installed it,]. I click on it & My KEYBOARD appears & Freezes My Phone? I have to do a Battery Pull.
So I deleted it Because I could Not Open it

I know its got to Be a RIM Problem or is there a version for the 5.0 version

Good morning Mark,
Let me add my thanks to the other forum users for this posting. Is there a help file that can be used with the software, particularly BB Today. When I set it up, all of the panels seemed to work, with the exception of the stock ticker, which came up with an error message stating "bad dns address", but the weather worked the first time I retrieved the location code, but now refuses to update even after I request it to. I get a message saying that it is going to update, but then get "Unable to open connection".
Any help you can give would be appreciated. Looks like a great app, and the price is definitely right.
Thanks again,
Bill
