You have to add your location with your zip code for it to know what to search for.

Is there a FAQ for the BB suite of programs? Looking for set up, program description (what it does) and config steps.

Thank You!

Can some help ma and tell me if this link is still active for over the air every time i use it i get a 404 error. I got my bb about a week ago and would love to try these tools but cant seem to get them to work.

Wondering if anyone knows a good, valid link to download BB backlight?? The over the air link is invalid and i would like to try this program. I am using a 7250 and would appreciate any advice on the easiest method on getting this program.

Hi all,
If you are looking for your Location ID for the BBToday Weather section you can go to your PC and seach your city in Weather.com. When you have the correct weather for your city look at the URL of the browser and in there you will see the code you need to enter in your BB. Example:

http://www.weather.com/outlook/trave...om=search_city

CAXX0504 your be the location ID for Toronto, Canada

I hope this helps,

Peace

Has anyone noticed that with the changes to the BIS service with T-Mobile your email account will be displayed in the BBToday screen. Thats fine and dandy, but if your BIS email is really long, it gets all smashed up in the screen and can't be read.

Has this happened to anyone? Im using the Vodafone 72XX for 71XX theme?


Thanks

The link still works, I just tested this, make sure you type OverTheAir EXACTLY like that, with the first letter of each word capitalized. If you put it in any other way, it will 404 you. That URL is case sensitive.

Thanks

I'm seeing the same thing with both my addresses on my 7105t.
and

are all squished together.
Otherwise it works great.

You can choose to not display your email accounts by highlighting the "new messages" section and click the wheel.
Scroll down to preferences and uncheck "Display Details". That should remove email account info.

I have a 7250 and have installed the BB tools. I have the same problem that others mentioned a few months ago with BBToday not saveing the options for the sections nor the section order. Has anyone every found a reason/fix for this? Thanks.

Ok, maybe I need to become a "newbie" again, but I have searched and searched for a description of these products and don't see it. I have a good idea what the BBWeather is, but is there a site that shows screen shots or just describes it?

Without downloading them all just to see what they do, can you answer this? Are these free or is there a price? Is there a website other than the download site that has product info?

Here is my guess at what each is, you can heckle me now ;)

BBlight - controls the back light
BBReply - allow you to change your reply-from address on outgoing mail
BBToday - viewer for USAToday website
BBWeather - Weather
BBCorrector - Spell Check

So how did I do, I think I got 2 out of 5 :(

I installed the BB weather and put in the location ID, but it states the following error: "could not find a service book entry for IPPP". Yet, when I go to my service book, there's an IPP already there and it is ACTIVE. I am using the BlackBerry 7100g Cingular service. Can anyone assist me?

Thanks.

I have solved my own problem by trial an error. For anyone else that may have this problem. If your IPPP is already in your servicebook and active, then you need to click the trackwheel and scroll to options. Click on options, and scroll to disable MDS proxy and check that box, then save and exit options. At that point, the weather forecast or current weather for the location IDs that you have set up, will load on to the screen of your BB device.

I have the Cingular BB 8700c. Installed BBToday. Got the loaction set OK. But kept getting tunnel failure.

Have not found a solution on the board here and would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Unfortunately this wont work for those of us that have corporate controlled security policies that wont let us disable MDS. Anyone have any other suggestions? I have an IPPP entry in the service book and it is active.

Dave

Excuse my ignorance, but what is MDS?

You have to call cingular data services and get wap.cingular added as your APN.

I have a 7130e from Verizon - latest OS 4.1. I loaded the latest version of BBLight and BBToday from sourceforge. BBToday is great and everything works well.

However, BBLight seems not to be working or I just don't understand how to configure it. It loaded fine OTA and said it was installed correctly. I rebooted the berry and went into BBLight to configure it. I set it up so that all the options were turned on. Now my blackberry stays lit all the time. The light doesn't seem to go out all except when I holster the blackberry. If I just leave it sitting on the desk or in my shirt pocket, it stays lit the whole time. However there seems to be a slight dimming of the light every few seconds (possibly caused by the polling interval??).

Anyone else have BBLight running on the 7130e? Am I configuring it wrong?

Dave

I loaded BBToday and love the look and potential usefulness.

However, when I click on any category I always recieve the following error: uncaught exception java.lang.error.


Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Im sure this has already been covered but seeing that I spent two days trying to figure out how to correct the bbWEATHER, Im going to share anyway. Go to this link
http://www.aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx and put in your location, ie..(boston, ma). Once you have the code, go to you bb today weather section, hit the scroll wheel and select preferences. Delete the Texas ID (USTX1351) and replace it with your city's code that you got from the link above. Dont try doing it through the web. I assure you this will work. Newbie here and loving my BB 7250!!!!

I loaded BBToday onto my 7130E yesterday and I love the features (even got the weather to work).
I'm having 2 problems though:
1) If BBToday is on the main screen when I put my BB into the holster it locks up the BB when removed from the holster. I have to reboot (power button at top)to get back to the main screen. When it reboots I have an "Uncaught exception process BBToday (90) killed due to message queue overflow" and a OK click box.

2) This morning it looks like BBToday tried to take over the main screen, when it did it locked up the BB again. This time it wasn't in the holster but just sitting on my desk.

I'd love to see these items sorted out because I think the rest of the program is great.

Thanks for the help but it's still happening.

Hey Kracko. Left you a PM. Be sure to reset your BB by romoving the battery after you add the new location. Your location ID needs to be put in the bbtoday weather section and if you downloaded the weather .74 (i think thats the name) then you need to create a profile by adding the location ID there also. Be sure to select update also. PM me if you this does not work.

I have a 7105t on a BES server and I installed BBweather and have no problems using it. I installed BBweather on same Blackberry but is not on a BES server and the program does not work. Would not being on a BES server make the program not work? I get an error saying can not load service book or something saying IPPP, i can't remember the error message exactly.

Next time do a search, first you have to disable the MDS in the weather program inside options, second go to your BWC and resend the service books. If you do not have a BB data plan it wont work

For the record, the problem I was having with BBToday was that I was using the enter key to select an item (i.e. calendar, inbox) instead of clicking the wheel. Mine is working now - at least when I remember to not hit enter.

Every thing works awsome but....what is bblight??cant fig it out?

Anyone successfully using BBToday on the 7130e? Any issues (screen size, etc)?

The problem still exists with 7130e, it kind of hangs the phone and when you reboot the phone it give the 90 killed exception. Hope they sort this out to make it work. It's a good program.

I finally just uninstalled it becuase it kept crashing on my phone for one reason or another.

So did I.

My "issues" with bbToday on my 8700c (not complaining, as I realize this is free software, just my observations):

1) if I hit the space key or return key in bbToday, my BB will sometimes lock up and I need to usually soft-reset, but sometimes hard-reset

2) I don't like that bbToday becomes the default application on startup, i.e. over-rides the home screen...

3) on the weather plug-in, I often get the "malformed address" message and have to manually update

4) I'm now concerned that because this is a 3rd party app using the wap.cingular APN, I will get data charges even though I'm on the BB unlimited plan...

Hi there,

I've read every post in this thread but my particular question (about BBWeather) has not been posted here.

I'm using a 7105t on T-mobile's network. I have OS v4.0.

I installed BBToday and BB Weather and they've installed correctly but the waether module never connects. I've disabled the firewall and disabled the MDS Proxy. I've set up myu location ID with the zip code and it's saving correctly (preserved even after reboot) but for some reason i always get this error message: "Error: Unable to open connection"

btw, all my other third party apps and IM etc are working so i know i can obviously connect to the internet and it's not an APN problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I have a question I have a bb 7105t and i was using the BBSpell, when I try to do the connection test, I get an error msg
java.io.IO.Exception could not open tunnel-failed connection test...what does that mean?? and can I fix it! and how!! I m a newbie to all..thanks

ok from reading some of the threads i was able to figure out what was wrong....on home screen click on tools that is icon that look like a wrench then click on settings the egg timer then scroll all the way to the bottom to TCP click trac wheel: then where u see APN type in "wap.voicestream.com"
and save...see if that works... if all fails send an email to the software developer they will help forget talking to T-mobile they r totally clueless!! good luck
