Latest apps available and info about apps

Righty ho.

I downloaded the file and tried to load via Desktop Manager.
Guess what :)

This application is not compatible with your device and cannot be loaded.

As said I am running one of a few rare versions of 4.6.1.298 on a Curve 8900 (I know this application works on 4.6.1.250 & I was running that at the time as thats when Ushir posted about it working)

Anyways I don't see the big deal on this app since once needs a Paypal account (would be nice if Vodacom can integrate this with your cellular account and any deductions can be made in rands for applications downloaded - if chargeable)

Ok, here is a link that should get you sorted:

Link to actual Java App

Official RIM documentation is that you must use IE (and its a process similar to a Windows Update where only IE is compatible with the site) and then it checks the OS version and that the device is connected to your computer and loads the app.

Quite simply really since RIM has been using this for their WebDesktopManager which allows a BB user attached to a BES server to resend their service books and do backups and other fancy bla bla.

Fismail, you need to use your phone to access the link. It's an OTA download :)
 
Thanks, that one worked.

Great stuff ;)

@fismail - Just try loading the app linked using the phone BlackBerry browser.

This is one is different to the previous link you are refering to.

I can confirm that it works, as can assagai :)

This one most FREE apps though.
 
Once again it does NOT work on 4.6.1.298 (I don't have an issue with it not working hence me dowloading the jad /cod file and trying it via Desktop Manager.

It does work on 4.6.1.238 & 4.6.1.250 for the Curve 8900

There is talk of Vodacom making it work without PayPal where it will debit your Vodacom account / postpaid or prepaid with the cost if the application downloaded if applicable.

Great stuff ;)

Thanks Astound. Works for me too.

I was prompted to perform an update on the App World last night and did.

At first I got an error or maybe made a wrong choice but then on retry it downloaded the update OTA.

Also offered updates on the "Drive Safely" app too which reads your emails aloud while you drive :)

Download failed error = 907 Invalid COD





I did get it working by doing the following:

* Download the following Zip File (http://hotfile.com/dl/9713146/2b490f6/appworld_1.1.zip.html)
* Unzip it to your desktop
* Copy the files net_rim_bb_appworld.cod, net_rim_bb_appworld_resource_en.cod and JavaLoader.exe to the following folder depending on your Windows OS:
#In Windows Vista "C:\Users\(Your User)
#In Windows XP "C:\DocumentsandSettings\(Your User)
* Start CMD (Windows Key + R and then type CMD)
* Plug-in your BlackBerry
* Type: javaloader -u load net_rim_bb_appworld_resource_en.cod
once done type next one:
* Type: javaloader -u load net_rim_bb_appworld.cod

Your BlackBerry will then do a reboot and you will be able to access the application which is now installed in your Downloads folder.

The version you will be installing in Version 1.1. You might be prompted to update it the first time you use it. In this scenario you will be notified that there are already certain files installed which are associated with App World and whether you want to replace them - just say yes.

Reboot again and enjoy the Freedom of BB.

Does anybody know anything about listening to podcasts without being charged for the download/streaming? I have set up some podcasts in Viigo and set the app to use BIS only. I assume that I'm not being charged for these audio files being streamed through Viigo?

Is there a better way to search and listen to podcasts? I'd appreciate any info you have. Thanks.
 
I have also been searchig for one but for the live of me I haven't been lucky yet. Found one or two, one free and one paid for but that doesn't seem to be working. The free one keeps on failing to download but does download through bis.

Excellent! Looks very promising with BIS and all! I've just installed it and am busy adding podcasts as I type this. I'll report back on the usability etc once it's all set up. Nice find! :D

Go to the first page of this thread and follow the links to the apps from your BlackBerry browser. As far as I can tell, both Google Maps and BBWeather use BIS.
 
Hey Sharky - If your app is set up to use BIS, then there will be no extra charge. There are links to quite a few apps on the first page of this thread (http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=198633). You'll quickly get the hang of the browser, but if you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask :)


thanks, how do I get those applications .... on page 1 I see numbers next to the applications, why do I do with these ... would like them as Bookmarks ... tks
