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.

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?

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...
