i cant get it to work either, tunnel not open when i disable the proxy, please help

Hey the tools are great, luckily they all work for me all i had to do was disable the mds for bbweather..

as for the bbreply, when replying to a message you choose; reply and then choose "set reply to" .. it then adds the line, reply to: .. when i send the message it still shows as my BB.net email address .. am i doing something wrong?

also anyone getting locked up when selecting like an event on the calendar or mail area or anything on the on the bbtoday page .. complely exits the application (bbtoday) and locks up for a few, have to hit ESC a few times..

OK....I have been scouring for hours now looking for the answer which elludes me.
I have a 7750 with OS4 on the Verizon network. I am not getting the weather on either app. I have tried disabling the proxy server and still get the dreeded "Protocol not found:null" in BBTODAY and the "could not find service book entry for IPPP" note in BBWEATHER. HELP!!!!!! These are both great and I would be willing to donate towards them if I can get them to work completly....

Chris

Chris,

Do a search for setting up the APN for your carrier. It sounds like you don't have a BES due to the "could not find service book entry for IPPP" error you are receiving so you need to set up the TCP/IP option to get BBToday to work but with the current BBWeather it will not work without a BES (or so I have found but maybe disabling MDS might fix that if you have TCP set up).

Good luck.

Hi have aquestion for you. Installed the new updated software for my bb 7520 and now when I try and configuer the bb weather profile it freezes on edit. Unistalled and reinstalled bb weather and still get the sam problem. Any guesses?

OK, Where do I go to enter in the APN info. There is no place to (that I could find) in the options menu and my browser is working fine.

Chris

If you go to Options --> TCP/IP you can enter the settings.

Depending on your needs here is a great way to use BBToday. I prefer the all-in-one view of the BBToday weather. It shows current weather with the five day forecast right underneath so you don't have to scroll or anything.

I have found that if you go to Options and put Weather in more than one Plugin slot you can configure each one independently so that you can have Atlanta weather in one, Chicago in another, etc. Obviously you need to leave out other applications because there are a limited number of spaces but if you use it mostly for weather, calendar and device info you have plenty of slots (2-3 more) for multiple weather profiles.

I find this very useful as I travel frequently and having multiple at-a-glance views of weather in different cities is great!!!

Sorry to be such a pain about this topic.. On the 7750, there is no TCP-IP configuration.

Chris

You have now reached my maximum capacity. I have a 7100t and have not had any other BB prior. Have you done a search on this on the forum. Maybe someone else can help. You may also find the thread that you found the APN information from and post your question there.

7100sib

OK, I will try that and thanks for the help.

Chris

Is there any thought in getting a recent calls plugin for bbtoday? I think that would be slick. Is there a developer handbook available?

Rippey

Not sure what you are looking for here but there is a Phone feature that will list the last 3 (or whatever you set) missed calls. You need to go to the phone app to return the call but you can see what you have missed, highlight the field and click Select to go to the app to make the call. Please explain more of what you are looking for other than this so others can understand your request a little better.

I see the phone plugin (which shows the missed calls). I am looking for a faster way to get to the address /phone book. when I click on phone I get the list of last calls missed / made but if I want to look someone up, I have to goto the address book. I think that would be slick if it could be done from the today screen (kind of like a contact shortcut).

thanks for the quick reply.

I wonder if anyone would be able to help me out. I have a 7780 BB on ATT Wireless. I'm a corp user and therefore on a BES. No idea about APN or whatever. BBToday works except for Weather and Stocks. Weather error says "End tag does not match start tag'm...(the rest runs off the screen)". Anyone?

Chris

I am on the same configuration as you except on the Rogers network here in Canada and am running a 7290. I have been running BBToday 1.5 for about 6 weeks without problem. Like many people, though, I have frequent "Bad DNS Address" for weather and stock quotes, but that is always rectified by a couple of manual updates. You might try to disable the MDS proxy in the weather preference menue.
One issue that has just happened since the BES was upgraded to 4 earlier this week, which was not a problem prior to the BES going to 4, is that location lookup id in the weather preferences no longer works. In fact it causes my Blackberry to freeze. Any suggestions?

Thanks Jim, I'll check out the MDS Proxy. My corp is running BES 4.0 as well. Have you changed any settings under the Options icon from your home screen? I've read all the posts regarding TCP and APN and proxy's, etc - tried a bunch also but was never successful. Most likely related to the IT Policy flowed down by big brother but I can't figure out how to comfirm that. Is there a way to download or read the IT Policy to see what's restricted and what's not?

Chris

No, did not change any options settings on home screen. You might also want to check Browser Push on the options settings on home screen. I suspect, as you suggest, that it might be the corporate BES security settings.
One of your other options would be to try PocketDay. I have never had any difficulty connecting with weather or stocks on that program. I believe that there is a thirty day free trial, and the purchase price after that is only $20.

Hi,

I am a new BB user but have been lingering on the boards for some time. Using a 7250 on Verizon with BES through link2exchange and couldn't be happier. However, I was wondering if there was any variant of the current bblight build that allows you to turn on the backlight with user activity only during certain hours. The reason I ask it quite honestly during the day I rarely need a backlight and the batteries on the 7250 drain FAST! If I could have automatic backlight control at night (when you couldn't see the screen without one) it would be great and would be ideal. Moreover, it might be nice to kick it into the extra-bright mode after 30 seconds of use to make long emailing more enjoyable.

Thanks!!!

Jim, Thanks. Yes, I'm trying PocketDay also. Mark is helping me out in trying to get my weather/stocks to work. They aren't working after the first try but I will continue working it...

BBlight is working great, but I was wondering if anyone know how to make it use the "brighter" setting of the light on the 7290? Currently only the dim light comes on, and you have to press the power button to get the brighter ligh to activate...

1) Me too. I have tried "City, State" and a couple different zip codes. Each time I just get "The Woodlands, Texas".

2) I can't change the stock symbols. As soon as I make a change to the symbols, they revert back to the defaults. Am I missing something?

3) Is there a clever and fast way to switch instantly to the BBToday screen? I guess Alt-Esc (or sometimes just Esc) will do, but it might be nice to have an option to default to BBtoday when I hit the end-call button (with a second press to get to the home screen).

BBReply, maybe I am doing something very wrong but when I want to send an email, I have no option to select which reply to address to use. I have set 2 addresses in BBreply but in messages I do not see anything. what am I doing wrong?

using bwc on t-mobile..

rippey

From experience, you have to reboot (full reboot which means remove battery and replace in 7100t) for the menu option to show up in your email scroll menu. You should then see a ReplyTo: option and it will ask which one after that if you have set multiple.

I have the 7520 an installed BBToday several times, and everytime it resets all I can see is the Nextel logo screen. I can try to power off and it ill show me the main screen behind the "Pres any key to abort" but as soon as I push a key to abort the shut off it goes right back to the Nextel logo. I can also use the task switcher buttons to bring up the tasks list but it still goes right back to the nextel logo. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I will have to uninstall this app until I can get this issue resolved. From what I did see of it, it works great. I like what I saw briefly until the next restart. and I even had all the functions working.

I hope someone has an answer for my problem.

Thanks
Barstow


Update: I finally got it working but I have no idea how. Hopefully it willcontinue to work.

Have you resolved your "Bad DNS Address" when using BBWeather? I am having the same problem.

I'm unable to install BBToday 1.5 due to invalid or expired digital signatures. The message is displayed after going through the Application Loader.

Nevermind - I learned about BES policies today - feel free to delete these posts. Thanks.

Has anyone any answers regarding this? My thinking is going:

• Is this specific to the Verizon release of 4 for the 7750, or could I attempt another vendor's release?
• Is there another way around this?

The specific situation is trying to run an app (bbtoday) that needs a service book entry for IPPP (not the BIBS that is installed).

Some good new info...

I'm surprised no one has volunteered to host a public BBCorrector Server. Anyone interested?

One word of caution: anyone who uses a public BBCorrector Server is likely to expose confidential information via the spell checking. I suspect it passes quite a bit of text in the order it's written to the server. This means that someone (e.g., the server administrator) could log the HTTP traffic for spell checking and recreate emails, addresses, etc.

Which one of these utilities work with a bell blackberry? I had a problem with the weather one.

I can't get my bbtoday to work I tried my UID and PW in the APN allong with

this as my string

+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com","",0,0

I do not have any fire walls enabled. I have 4.0 loaded my do not need DNS server enabled. I use my 7100t for internet connection with my laptop. I love that hack... Thanks to all who helped with that.

I get ether no tunnel if I enable it's own fw if I disable it I get the IPPP error.

Is there a STEP-BY-STEP setup for it. I am on tmobile in Texas. 7100t with 4.0 no BES.


thanks all

heavy

had same problems as well.. I put in weather location ID or zip code, neither of them stay saved. down with Woodlands, TX!

then I got it to save my location. I believe what I did differently was to enter my location ID then click the wheel then choose Save as opposed to hitting Back and letting it ask me if I wanted to save. gotta be proactive I guess!

Hello,

What do I put for the BBCorrector Server URL, Username and Password?

Thank you

Currently there are no public spell servers (that I know of). You would have to create one or look around to see if anyone has made one. I have created several of them and it is easy.

I keep reading that the BBToday program will "override" your home screen but this doesnt seem to be happening. I have to launch this program every time i want to see it. I dont see anything in prefs or options to correct this. i'm using v. 1.5. is this something new in this version? i would rather have my BB default to this screen than to have to launch it every time.

I can't see the ota link from my blackberry

Type the whole OTA link into your BlackBerry Browser -- may need to check what the web address is from a PC, then type it directly.

But the problem is, thath from my BB i dont see any link.

I only see this.
