BlackBerry Storm WeatherBug FREE application

Hi, Jennifer,

I assume you are downloading that app via Blackberry App World. Try this...go into the App World and go to My World, where you see the program that says that it is still downloading. Press the Menu key and log back into your PayPal account and it should reset your download. Let me know if this does or does not work.

Doc

I just did that and it says, "No applications are assocatied with your My World account." I never set up my paypal account on the storm, so i thought it was funny it said that. Its just weird because the other apps downloaded just fine and this one said Free so I didn't think I had to pay for it. Even if I do its okay, but I'd like it to stop downloading already. My only option now is to go back to the store later and have them figure it out.

If you have anymore solutions I'd appericate it. And thank you for your help.

Jennifer

Jennifer,

The only other thing I can think of is to go to Options>Applications and highlight the Blackberry App World program itself and press the Menu key and delete the program. Then pull the battery to reset your phone. After you are back up and running, reinstall App World and see if it works correctly. Let me know how it goes.

Doc

Jennifer,

One other thing I'm sorry I forgot to mention. Try to download the Weatherbug app directly from WeatherBug's website. I am thinking the version of the app on Blackberry App World may be for version 4.5 Blackberry OS and not for your Storm's later version. Their web page has a direct link for a PC download. Good luck.

Doc

I've done both of the suggestions you said to do and neither one stop the weatherbug app download. It still says "starting download". Dumb question, am I going to do need to get a new phone and is this "starting download" really downloading anything? Is it hurting the phone?

I really do appericate all your help.

Hi Jennifer,

I am sorry you are still having problems. Just curious about one thing. What version of Blackberry App World did you install? I have a Tour and in the Application Center folder that came on my Tour, it lists Blackberry App World as an available download but it is version 1.0.0.30. This is an older version and has a few bugs. The latest version available direct from Blackberry's web site is 1.1.0.15. This version works good for me. Just wanted to know which version you installed.

Doc

Thank you for your help. I went to the store today and they said not to worry about the app it's just stuck, but I'm not being charged anything and its not hurting anything. My app world version 1.1.0.15 and my app center version is 4.7.0. I really do appericate all you help.

Thanks once again,

Jennifer

Hi,

I am sorry we could not get the problem fixed for you. I had the same problem on my previous phone a Blackberry Pearl with a previous version of App World. I remember that they came out with an upgrade soon afterwards and if fixed the problem. My suggestion would be to only use App World to see what apps are available and go to the vendor's site to download directly from them. I did read in Blackberry's forums a lot of people are having the same problem. Obviously it is not your phone, but a software problem. According to a lot of the forum users, it happens mostly when they were downloading free apps on App World. Maybe they will correct the problem.

Sincerely,

Doc

Where do you find what version of app. world you have? I have the latest Storm / BB OS.

I went to options then went to advanced options to application and it shows all my applications

Jennifer that is what I have for my versions and I had no trouble Downloading Weather Bug and nothing was ever asked about my paypal account. All I did was press the icon for App world, and then clicked thru the different programs and downloaded the ones I wanted that were free. The only one I had trouble with, was Amaze which never would work right, so I finally removed it. So you have the latest software and OS. I have has Pandora freeze a few times.

Hey,

I am curious about one thing. I really think the problem is with PayPal. Even though the free apps are free, I wonder if it messes up or causes a glitch in App World if you try to download free apps and not have a PayPal account set up? Just curious about that. I wonder if Jennifer sets up a PayPal account on her App World, if that might straighten out her problem.

Doc

I never got anything about putting my paypal account info. in did you?

I never got anything to set up an account, but if i went to the menu to delete the weatherbug app, the delete button wasn't there, login into paypal was. i logged in and it said there is nothing for paypal with weatherbug.

Do you have it installed now? The store is a great source I found if you call ahead and ask if there is an EE there who has a Storm or if they have a tech support person there. I showed the EE there how to go in and set music eq. He didn't know you could do that click media and then music then BB button then options. You can also turn on Bluetooth for music to be played from storm thru your cars Bluetooth here. I am using a Motorola T505 in my 98 Lincoln and it works great. Also you may have to turn on GPS activator for the Weatherbug. I had the guy in the store help me remove AMaze and it re booted after it was deleted completely. Re boots take awhile. Bye, going to lunch now.
