BlackBerry Storm WeatherBug FREE application

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.

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

[JenniferJ83]

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.

App World only requires you to use a PayPal account for purchasing apps.  It does not require you to set one up when you install or use the App World for browsing apps or downloading free ones.  I was just curious if the App World software may have a glitch in it where it is in a loop looking for the user's PayPal information to reconcile the My World part of the service.  I just was curious if Jennifer set up a PayPal account if it would reconcile her account and her download problem would fix.  I'm just guessing on what may be the problem.

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.

I hear you Doc and I have no idea. She has the most current software and I didn't have to set up paypal to make mine work. She may have to turn on GPS locater though.

You might be right...worth a try...

Nothing ever showed up for paypal until I tried to delete weather bug. But at the store today they told me to delete the blackberry app world, reboot my storm and it should take care of the problem. I told them I did that already and they were said okay, there must be a kink some where in the app. And since all the other apps downloaded fine and the storm is working right, they said there isn't anything to worry about. and the arrows in the right hand corner aren't showing like when someone calls or your downloading, so im guess im not downloading anything, the app is just stuck.
