Blackberry RSS News Reader

On my 9800 a bunch of news feeds which I didn't add showed up in my reader and when I delete them they come back. I can't figure out how to permanently delete them. This happened after I loaded the Blackberry RSS News Reader on my new Playbook, I don't know if this related. Any ideas?

Long shot, but is there an option to clear the cache in the news reader options?

  • RSS/news reader for the N97 Mini?

    I use Google Reader a lot for keeping up with news and developments in my field. 
    However, it's a real pain to access Google Reader through the built-in browser in the N97 Mini. And there seems to be no simple, straightforward way to insert all the feeds (on my gReader account) into the phone. 
    Are there any news reader (RSS, Atom) applications for Symbian/Nokia phones that you would recommend?
    There are many excellent free RSS-reader apps for the iPhone and Windows Mobile, but I can't seem to find a half-decent one for Nokia phones.  Even a search on Ovi Store only brought up two. Both are not free and don't have spectacular reviews. (If I'm going to pay for it, I want to know it's a great, bug-free application first!)
     Thanks. 

    the best out there is currently google reader. its not an online app, but more of a webpage, the interface is similar to the full blown google reader. visit www.google.com/reader from the default web browser.

  • RSS News Reader script?

    After overcoming the stuff in "rookie needs help", I now have the entire site ready to go. I'm under an agreement not to show the content publicly until my client approves it, so apologies for not posting a link.
    FWIW, this is a project directly related to the paperless electonic voting controversy, and the upcoming election (which we all anticipate to be an immense crisis - they should have solved this paper trail **** months ago), so all help is appreciated by more than just me - this one's for all of us. The site is likely to become a high-profile destination as November approaches.
    I need to read a newsfeed from another related site. However, the ability to install code on the site I'm presently building is limited to what I can put into the immediate web. The site is hosted on an ASP (application service provider), and I'm uncertain what the sysadmin will welcome beyond that.
    I have an ASP script that reads the newsfeed. It is demonstrated here:
    http://www.gbdg.net/clay/index_vu.asp
    What I am looking for, if such exists, is a similar JSP script. I am hoping this is simply a page I can install in my new site, and then execute via an include.
    Could someone please direct me to such a script, assuming this is possible? Or point me in the right direction?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Yikes!
    I have a week before a mandatory launch, and this is one small aspect of what I need to do. I pray somone knows a script or such that I can download and install - the last thing I hope to do this week is to learn how to build a custom tag.
    Just as this page http://www.gbdg.net/clay/index_vu.asp reads content from http://www.votersunite.org/news-rss/index.xml and displays it in a formatted table, I can just as easily cause that box of news items to appear on the home page of a site - that page would also have other content. What I am looking for is a script that reads the XML newsfeed and displays it on a web page.
    Thanks

  • Rss news

    I have a few observations about the (way cool...) RSS news reader in JDeveloper 10g. I wonder if others see the same behaviour as I do?
    . Right click on article and 'Open in browser' does nothing
    . Double-click an article opens it OK, but messes up the order and formatting (I had dragged the column separator to see the dates better)
    Regards,Billy

    Hi Billy,
    Thanks for the feedback and taking time to report these problems. They both appear to be bugs in the extension. I'll try to get around to fixing them as soon as I have some spare cycles.
    Thanks,

  • Blackberry HUB "Show Read Filed Emails" ON AND OFF button SERIOUS Gmail PROBLEM NEED BUG FIX ASAP!

    Its been for years (starting from 10OS Version 10.2 ) I couldn't see filed/labeled emails in my Z30/Z10 Blackberry HUB of my Gmail account, but I just downloaded Blackberry Blend and it started to show all my filed/labeled emails, but I still cant see them in my Blackberry HUB! Maybe you can tell me how to make Read Filed Emails visible in Blackberry HUB too?
    Blackberry HUB >> Settings >> Display and Actions:
    Show Read Filed Emails is ON
    Show Sent Emails is ON
    Both are turned on, but I still cant see them like on Blackberry Blend.. On search field then I type specific email from filed/label from my Gmail account I immediately finds it, but then I go back to Blackberry HUB all I can see just emails from inbox and single sent emails and YES "SYNC ALL EMAIL FOLDERS" IS SET TO ON AND "SYNC TIMEFRAME" IS SET TO FOREVER (''Sync All Email Folders'' is set ON and ''Sync Timeframe'' is set FOREVER).

    I find out that then I click on the Blackberry HUB > Settings > Display and Actions: "Show Read Filed Emails" to ON or OFF again and again, view in Blackberry Blend immediately changes in order I did ON or OFF, that's pretty amazing, but Blackberry HUB DOESN'T RESPOND AT ALL! View is the same doesn't matter if I change it ON or OFF.
    View in Blackberry Blend starts to look the same like in phones Blackberry HUB then I click "Show Read Filed Emails" OFF, it looks like Blackberry HUB doesn't respond to ''Show Read Filed Emails'' ON and OFF button at all, ITS ALWAYS OFF! What should I do next??
    I'm using Blackberry Z30, but I have Z10 too and it also doesn't work and it looks like this "Show Read Filed Emails" not working button bug is on all 10 OS devices except Blackberry Blend desktop version which works perfectly confirms it.

  • RSS feed reader stopped working

    Hi,
    I have an RSS feed reading function that worked just fine until yesterday.  I grab an RSS feed from google news using cfhttp and then parse it using XMLParse.  I am attaching the code below.
    Does anyone know if anything changed at Google or somewhere else that would cause my code to stop working?  Instead of the expected results, I see the browser saying the page is loading but never get any results.
    Perhaps there is a parameter I never set in the CFHTTP line and skated by without it for all this time.  It is definitely hanging up on the CFHTTP call.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Rolling RSS news

    Hi!
    I´ve had lot of problems developing custom XML transformers for RSS news.. Does someone have the source codes for making and iview with "Rolling News" from an RSS feed? you know.. that cicling news that when you click on every title it stop cicling and opens the full new.
    I saw it in many places and have been reading how to develop it, but it can´t figure it out; it would be much simpler having a full example, so i can see how it works...

    Hi Themis,
    I had  similar kind of requirement of publishing the News in Portal using RSS feed reader. For this, I hv created the XML IView which converts the XSLT to htmlb format in Portal.
    However, the XML Iview doesn't show up the News. I hv went through with Configuring proxy server settings within the System Cofugration >> Service Confugration in Portal browser. But no use,  still the message appears :
    XML Iview error contact System administrator appears.
    Appreaciate your time and valuable inputs. Looking forward to your responses.

  • Where did my RSS news feed go?

    After upgrading to Mtn Lion, the RSS news feed in my menu bar is missing.  How can I get it back?

    I for one used Safari RSS nearly hourly because I travel international and it is sometimes the only way to stay in touch with things.  Sorry that one of my most used items is missing.  Definitley not happy about now needing to pay $4.99 for 'reeder' or anything when previously it was no cost.  Plus, I'll have to now have another 3rd party Google reader account allowing Google another way into my MBA.  To say nothing that if this comes through Google there are many countries where I travel that limit Google's reach and the reeder if blocked.
    If you do use a 3rd party RSS reader where is it going to show up?  Menu bar?  Desktop?
    BTW, where to you send comments to Apple about items they cut from 10.8.  In this case it is a problem because many countries block certain news items.   Something that worked with Safari because the link was different than using a specific news reader.

  • Creating RSS News Feed of a BC Blog

    Hey guys,
    Thanks to these forums and Liam Ive been able to learn so much about webdesign, but became stuck again (at another very obvious thing I believe).
    The thing is, Ive got my blog on BC up and running and the RSS feed also, but how do I go about creating an RSS News feed and displaying the newest posts in an iframe?
    I am aware of some third party services that are able to do that, but i'd like to learn another way.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies guys,
    So sorry I wasn't clear enough:)
    What I am trying to achieve is that I made a blog with BC catalyst and would like to show the newest post in some sort of News frame on my site (made in Muse) which would update automaticaly (and I understand this is done with the help of the blog's RSS feed?).
    I have been able to do that with a third party online service, but they always show "Powered by ...." or some other stuff, which isn't ideal.
    Take care!
    Martin
    EDIT: Also, if it would be possible, I am using the Blank Widget Composition in Muse which shows a frame and a number of tabs below it. The frame shows a content and changes depending on which tab U click. Now Im probably asking too much, but do U guys think it would be possible to show the newest post by clicking on the first tab, second newest post by clicking on the second tab, etc?
    The only thing I could think of would be to tag number the posts and then somehow substract 1 from the newest post. So let's say the newest post is 150-1=149 so after clicking on the second tab it would show 149 and so on for other tabs.

  • RSS News feed question

    Why can't I see any of the small pictures on the RSS News feed? They all have a little question mark in the center of where the picture is supposed to be.

    @egapart. Are you looking at Google news?
    With the feed "Google News" it's partly Google's fault, partly Apple's.
    In the RSS feed, Google provides to the browser something not 100% standard; the link to the image in the Google feed is
       <img src="//nt1.ggpht.com/news/tbn/EVRrcIItcrqKMM/6.jpg">
    The "http:" is missing! Although that link would (by accident) work as is, Safari checks if the link starts with "http:" and if it doesn't, adds (in this case wrongly) "http://news.google.com" in front of it. The resulting links is then
       <img src="http://news.google.com//nt1.ggpht.com/news/tbn/EVRrcIItcrqKMM/6.jpg">
    That link does not exist, and hence the image is not displayed.
    The question: Should Safari change or Google?

  • OTN RSS News Feed Corrupt

    Hi.
    The OTN News Feed contains 3 stray "-" characters throughout the document. These are visible from IE, which still manages to parse the document, but prevent some XML parsers from working.
    Please correct the document.
    Cheers

    Hi.
    I have a question. How are the RSS news feeds generated?
    I don't want to sound narky, but I don't understand how basic structural errors like this can occur unless the pages are written manually. Content is only as good as the writer/editor, but structure is determined by the program so mistakes like this should happen rarely. I've seen approximately 6 in the last three months, some of which I've reported on this forum.
    My homepage (http://www.oracle-base.com/Index.asp) uses the OTN RSS news feed so these problem stick out like a sore thumb to me.
    Perhaps you should schedule a job to validate the output of these feeds daily.
    Cheers
