I did not realize the improvements made in this program and it works great on the 8700. I am now highly recommending it. I don't have screen shots right now. I have redesigned the site to put the favorite apps (google local and bbweather and Jiveslide) on one page. Cryptmagic vs Minisafe remains a separate page.

I have confirmed that Google Local creates a backup error. Doesn't appear to be fatal. We assume it is because it's an OTA download and the Desktop doesn't know what do to with the RMS database (that's where 3rd party app data is stored).

Anyway I thought I would share this freebie weather find.

I saw your earlier post and another thread discussing the backup errors after installing Google Local, I am a bit confused is this the same as the just released google maps. I have the just released google maps and I did a backup with my 7250 and had no issues. So i dont know if it is the 8700 or the program, but figured I ought to share this.

There seem to be a number of us with the issue on the 8700 .

I'm trying to use the BBWeather, and get an error "Could not find a service book entry for IPPP."

Any idea what I need to change? (I'm a new BB user, so don't know a lot about this)

Thanks

Are all your browsers working? Search for IPPP for 5 click and IPPP for BIBS. I am not at my PC so I can't do that. I am not sure if these service books came from my BES or my carrier?

Be careful of streaming information.

My data bill for last month was incredible. Streaming weather or sports will pile up the usage.

My service provider also told me that using Google Local will quickly eat away at your limit.

Both service books exist in my BB but I am getting same message

Have you disabled MDS in bbweather-->Options. You should have a checkmark in that box.

Checking that box did help, or it changed things.

Now the error is "Could not open tunnel - failed"

I'm actually not sure this is an application I need. I went to the Cingular Browser, and it has the weather channel access that I was wanting, just simple current condition/forcast type stuff.

What does this application do differently?

What does it do? See the screenshots on my tips page. I love this weather program.

I only see the text on that page, I do not see the screen shots.
