Which browser are you using?

[brmcguire]

Blackberry Browser. It might be a bad connection. I got an error trying to download a game as well.

[jnelson2000]

I DL's all three using BB Browser. No errors

[brmcguire]

It must be something weird going on. I will have to try again later. Are they decent? Its hard to tell on the preview screen.

[richard371]

I get entity to large as I do with alot of sites using the BB browser? Any fix for this?

[jnelson2000]

try it with the Internet Browser or Cingular Browser

[brmcguire]

Thats the same error i got as well. I tried both browsers to validate. Same for both.

[nautical]

eh, not really impressed with these. i'm excited to see some 3rd party themes start coming out now that the theme builder is public.

Agreed. Tried 'em both and deleted 'em both.

[MozMan68]

they're okay....nice to have a choice of other ringtones as well...downloaded the "asteroid" game as well. Who knows, maybe they'll start adding a bunch of themes. I'll be checking back regularly.

[VidGameKing]

I'm just waiting for the perfect theme to go along with my Clone Trooper!

[Lex Luthor]

I downloaded Meteor and Rooster. Meteor works find but when I try to play Rooster it gives me an error saying there are too many apps on my device or something to that effect. Any idea why I would get that?

[VidGameKing]

do you have a bunch of other stuff on your machine?

[Lex Luthor]

I have what 4 or 5 apps and an IM Client and thats it.

[VidGameKing]

goto options/status how much free space do you have? I've got about 38MB free, loading all the games, all the themes, and about half of the ring-tones, plus a bunch of MP3s of mine, and a few pictures.

Thats about 29MB more than enough for any program. Try doing a reset on your machine by turning off the handheld, and then removing the battery for 30 seconds. then try to download it again.

[Lex Luthor]

Thx I'll give it a shot. I tried to download the circlepopper one also. When I opened the app it says java.lang.error I will uninstall them, pop battery out then reinstall and hope it works.

[VidGameKing]

let us know.

[Lex Luthor]

Same thing unfortunately :(

[VidGameKing]

hmm... I don't know, maybe someone else tomorrow can figure it out. You may need to re-install the OS on the handheld all together...

[Lex Luthor]

Thx for your help. I am hoping someone can help me figure out why this is happening to my berry.

[ChrisBenson]

It seems like people either had issues downloading the games or getting the games to work on their blackberries. I am not sure why you would get an error that said too many apps running. Do you have apps running in the background at all or no? Have you been able to run other apps at all or is it just the games that give you those errors?

[Lex Luthor]

I don't have any apps running in the background at all & my other apps do function properly when I open them up. On the bright side of things the Meteor game works 1 outta 3 aint bad right? I got rid of some wallpapers and a few Mp3 ringtones to make more space but that didn't help either. If anyone has any ideas or has the same issues as I do please post and maybe somehow I can learn how to fix this issue. Until then it's Meteor Crusher mania for me as I've overplayed Brickbreaker the past few days.

[Lex Luthor]

I took some stuff off of my blackberry and I now have 37758224 bytes remaining. I think that's more than enough space to run an application. However my blackberry feels otherwise as it still doesn't work. I'm about to give up unless anyone has suggestions at all.

[VidGameKing]

I think you should back up all the data on you blackberry and then re-install it's OS.

[CELITE]

Nitty what application version are you running on your device?

[Lex Luthor]

I'm running application version 4.1.0173.

I backed up my info and reinstalled the OS then downloaded the games again and got the same issue. Meteor game worked the other 2 didn't. Thanks very much to everyone who has helped and advised thus far. I really do appreciate all the help from the forum. (y)

RIM's notorious for bogus error messages but I have seen a similar scenario on a particular model that we test with (when it comes to downloading data from a web site). I'd be curious to know which model you have.

I use the 8700r.

[lunchboxfett]

Any idea why Texas Hold'Em King doesn't show up on mobile.blackberry.com website on the 8700 but does show up on the older models?

[masonfoley]

Have you checked all of the icon/groups? Perhaps within the Applications group? I've noticed that some of the newer models will place new application icons in a sub-folder rather than on the top-level ribbon.

Is it possible that an icon was hidden that would open a new group? Try unhiding all icons and check each one.

[Lex Luthor]

Everything was where it was supposed to be nothing was placed in a sub folder. Once again I reloaded all the software and restored all my info but the same thing happened.

I didn't know how to free up even more room so then I went into the applications and deleted all the extra language packs. I only kept English and French. I redownloaded those games and this time it actually worked.

[VidGameKing]

Space is not actually an issue in your case. I think the issue was you OS just acting a bit weird. It needed that re-install to get all it's ducks in a row, now you should be good to download other things too without any problems.

I'm hoping so!

To be honest I couldn't tell ya... i didn't know what else to put in my avatar so I thought I'd put whatever until I decided what I wanted to use lol

[VidGameKing]

I looks like Jeff Goldblum

[joginder]

Installed Wave theme and it is cool.. I like it .. I was not very fan of those dial icons on the top for battery and signal. now it is the regular old style battery and antenna symbal so it looks nice. I don't know Wave theme requires a reboot of BB8700

[sabby]

they all worked for me. Im digging the buble blaster game.

[eTron]

Downloaded a theme (http://mobile.blackberry.com) for my phone and it said it had to reboot to apply it. It rebooted but the theme is the same as the default. Any ideas. OS 4.1

[Lex Luthor]

Go to Options/Themes then click the trackwheel on the theme you want. Does it apply or do you get an error message?

[Seattle18]

LOVE the wave theme, especially when I changed the Home Screen Image to the Orbital.jpg - looks very cool like that.

[Sparkomatic]

seattle18, good call on the orbital.jpg! I'm using the Wave List theme and just switched to the orbital image.

Because it seems to do other screens that other themes do not have, like incoming calls. Then again, that's just a SWAG.

[takeshi]

Hmm, anyone know where to find the orbital wallpaper that came with the 8700? I deleted it early on...

[whsbuss]

They are in the Plazmic theme builder SDK.

[mortys11]

where can i get 4.1 os for 8700r rogers?

my desk top loader shows no apps....on hand my 8700


do i need to re install os?

[Xetox]

I to get a error, it says failed to download and thats all? Any suggestions. I have 4.1 on a 7100i?

[badapple]

I can't get the new games or themes to load on my 7100i. I get "download error 907 invalid cod unable to import zip file". Anyone have a solution for this?

[bigolyt]

I've downloaded all the themes, I was hoping someone would post some custom ones. :)

[yahtzee]

i just want to load some themes...ive tried searching and cant find a definitive answer as to how to do so other than loading the .alx file (which i tried with no luck)......also, i keep hearing about the wave theme and would like to try it...suggestions?

use your desktop manager and click on application loader, follow the prompts and point to the alx file. Remeber to load the theme_reader file also so the bb can read the theme. Remener to re-boot the device (bb) and go to options after and you should see the new theme.


hope this helps?

[cybermikey3]

i have the 7100g for cellular one. when i do the 4.1 upgrade i cant load any themes, not even the default ones i get a error, what am i doing wrong?

[Jack T. Chance]

I just checked out mobile.blackberry.com (http://mobile.blackberry.com) to see if there were any new themes for my Nextel BB 7520, and there IS a new theme! It's called "Smoothie". From the teeny, tiny preview image, it looks like it might be similar to the updated "standard" BB theme on the 8700C, but it's hard to tell. Has anyone been using this yet? Got any screenshots? :?

I like Pixelistic a lot, and I don't want to change themes only to find I don't like the new one, because then I'll have to spend time reconfiguring Pixelistic to be the way I like, as some of your custom settings get wiped out when you switch themes. :-(

So, anyone tried "Smoothie" yet?

[KonTiki]

I used and kept in on my bb maybe ten seconds before I deleted it. Is too 'bubble gum' for my liking. I prefer the pixelistic and that is what i use. Now if Zen was available I would switch in a blink.

[murpheous]

smoothie has a cartoony icon set. I kinda like it. But as of yet, nothing tops bliss in my eyes

[whsbuss]

I agree. I slightly modified the Bliss theme and its the best of the best (although I'd like to see the Zen theme on the 7130).

[bobhammer]

zen theme is the best!

[DukeN]

I wish I could edit the wave theme. IMO the wave theme with the smoothie text would be perrrfect.

[DukeN]

So does anyone know if I can get a copy of the Wave theme so I can edit it to have the fonts look like the smoothie? Thanks

[DanMan]

zen theme is the best!
Where can I find the Zen theme for the 7520?
