Blackberry world and apps

The Blackberry World does not contain all the useful apps that are needed e.g. my airtel Google Play is also not accessible pls advise how to access / download these apps

Hello,
It is rather difficult to discuss "these apps" (note...the plural form of the words) when you cite only "airtel Google Play". In general, apps that require Google Play Services (which is not the same as Google Play itself) do not function on BB10...Google and BB continue to not "play nice" enough with each other. But, there are alternatives. The native OS should include the Amazon App Store...have you looked there? There is also the SNAP addon, which many prefer:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Downloaded-Applications/You-Upgraded-to-OS-10-2-1-and-want-to-run-Android-Apps-on-Your/td-p/2784957#nobannerAssuming you have an adequate OS level, then if you can obtain the APK of the app, then you can install it to the device directly...just copy it to the device, navigate to it in the device file manager, and open the APK...the launcher will start and the app will install. But, again, it may or may not actually function...for example if the developer made the app to require Google Play Services (as discussed above). Good luck!

Blackberry ID and app world on Z10

Every time I click on blackberry id I get the following message : unable to connect to the blackberry id server. Please try again. (50506)
Also when I try and download anything from the app world I get: an error occurred processing your request.
Any ideas on what is wrong? Both worked up until a week ago.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had an issue with this on two Z10 phones. We have number of these phones. The first thing to check is to make sure the time of day and time zone is properly set. The next thing to do is to try a battery pull to do a full re-set of the phone.
If the problem persists, the next step I took was to re-install the operating system, re-register the phone with Blackberry ID, and then restore from the backup. After I did the re-install, the phone has been okay.

MY BBM , BLACKBERRY WORLD, FACEBOOK APPS AND OTHER IM APPS STOPPED WORKING ON MY HOME WiFi CONNECTION

Please I am wondering if anyone will have solution to my BBM problem , I am presently using my blackberry on home wiFi connection as I have ended my contract with my network provider(virgin). The BBM, IM applications ( yahoomessenger, window live, AIM, talk) ,my facebook apps and blackberry world were all working fine even with different wifi connection. But recently I am unable to use all these above mentioned applications more importantly my BBM as I needed it badly to communicate. Initially , I thought it was the internet connection at home but I found out the browser and two other applications I have are working perfectly. I don't know if anyone will have an idea of any solution to this problem.
I would appreciate any effort towards solving this problem.
Thanks

BBM requires an active BlackBerry data plan. As for others, try downloading the latest version of App World from www.blackberry.com/appworld and then update your Facebook and Twitter apps, most should work via WiFi only.

BlackBerry World Total App Count?

Hello there, I was wondering if anyone new what was the total app count for BlackBerry World, this includes all versions of the OSs (BlackBerry OS [4.5.0+], BlackBerry Tablet OS, and BlackBerry 10 OS). A reply would be awesome, thanks.

Look in downloaded panel. If not then look in folders it has to be somewhere. You can also search on the phone itself. Top bar usually has a white strip to type in. Type in app world and click search in menu.
THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY, LINGERS LONG AFTER THE CHEAPNESS OF PRICE, IS SOON FORGOTTEN.

For BlackBerry developers and Apps developers !!!

Hi,
This message is to the BlackBerry people, I mean the developers, the people related with the development of BlackBerry Z10.
There is no doubt that you guys have done a fab work developing Z10. It is the best operating system in the market as of now. I have been a blackBerry loyal customer since 2010. I used Torch 9800 and currently Bold 9900 and planning for Z10 for obvious reasons.
But, many people including me are disappointed with the apps in the Z10. Come on guys, this product has been in development since an year now. Everyone including you guys know that to survive in the current market you need to focus and invest more on the apps.
Have you seen any major difference between in the OS of google, from Ice cream sandwich to Jellybean or the OS in apple iphones, from 4S to 5 ??? The answer is "NO", but they have worked on is apps and just apps.
I love BlackBerry devices and at the same time I want it to prosper like the other devices in the market. Z10 has an outstanding OS platform, kindly utilize this in developing more apps and attracting more customers. This will hold benefits to both, customers and BlackBerry company.
I just wanted to share my feelings regarding it and hence I did. Hope BlackBerry will look into it and hire more app developers around the world and won't let their customers down.
I know there will be a 1000s of mails and such messages going out to you guys on daily basis, but I am writing this because it makes a difference and adds to the count.
Have a good day.
Thanks
Anshul

yes you can't change battery and display on software because it's hardware may be release another model aspect your requirement from blackberry ok!

Blackberry world saying apps have updates

Anyone else find that Blackberry World has the asterisk saying you have apps to update, but actually you don't?

Hi marcus_anselm,
When you go into BlackBerry World then click on All in the lower left corner, does the asterisk appear on My World?
Thanks.

Blackberry Id and apps

I have just purchased a new tablet and am trying to download all the apps. I have two questions: Can One Blackberry Id be associated with two playbooks, and second - why can't I reinstall my already purchased Madden 12 on my new tablet.. it is working perfectly fine on my old tablet which is with my son just now. Please help

I know what you mean. When the BBID screws up BlackBerry Link would not allow you to back up your data for apparent security reasons. I did have to whip my device more than 5 times before I straighten this out. Luck that every time I was able to get my contact and passwords from my old BB through device switch.
If you like to try the procedure I posted, here are a few things that may made difference:
1. Don't use wifi until everything is set up
2. Definitely input your BBID on the first chance you get after the wipe
3. Confirm you can still connect to BBID server after the tutorial is done and you are in.
4. Setup all your BBID related apps (BBM, app world, etc.) before you do anything else (device switching or emails)
5. Backup as you go when you can still connect to BBID server.
6. Reboot after each backup, and confirm you still connect to BBID server after each reboot.
There may be steps unnecessary but the more shortcuts you take the more chance you will have to wipe the device again.

BlackBerry World not accepting VISA card -- follow up to my previous post

Re purchase of an app for new Z10 -- main software all successfully updated to most recent. Well, I posted last time about being escalated up through the ranks of BlackBerry software helpers from Bell, and after several levels getting a very easy-to-communicate-with woman from BlackBerry in Halifax, NS...
She told me Bell would bill me for the apps on my carrier bill, and I told her No, they told me they didn't do that, not in Victoria BC my home town, anyhow. I asked her to call and contact them... she said she did, and said Yes, they would. So I set that up on my BlackBerry World sign-in page using my computer, under her guidance, and it seemed to be set up. I even purchased an app that way successfully, afterwards... [She told me at the time that yes, there was a problem with the tool that handles VISA payments, sometimes...]
BUT, several days later when I went to do the same thing again with another app, well, I had a message in red on my purchase screen on my Z10 that carrier purchase was not available!
Ahem.
So, I tried purchasing via VISA again [read my previous post, I called VISA, tried to see if there was something wrong there, no there wasn't]. No form of my re-entering my VISA card or editing it etc. would work.
So I tried PayPal, over the past weekend I established a PayPal account to be paid for via my same VISA card, that took some doing as the procedure is not that clear on their website and you have to explore the sections under "my money" etc. to see just what is going on with it... without any warning or info from either BlackBerry or PayPal the account wouldn't work [refused several tries to purchase an app] until a special method for BlackBerry was posted in that "my money" section on PayPal, they call it a prepayment account or something like that, it takes about an hour or two on a Sunday for that to appear for a new account, and then [I was doing this via my computer after signing in to PayPal] I saw a side message that this purchasing procedure would not work until August 12th.
Today, August 12th, I just purchased a trial app, Medieval Ringtones, and that went through! Unfortunately I was on just our own house WiFi [good signal, I thought at the time, though], and just before it got installed something said "network problem" and it stopped installing. Now I can't buy it again either, I'll try later just to see if it reloads -- it wouldn't reload to the purchase point. I don't really care, it was an experiment. I just downloaded a free app, Top 500 Ringtones, from BlackBerry World, and that went smoothly and seems great, lots of choices, most of them free as far as I can tell.
Warning to users: I would establish the PayPal account via BlackBerry World's own access point on the computer, first, through the BlackBerry World website, clicking on their PayPal symbol, before trying to purchase via PayPal, as establishing a PayPal account first, independently, may lead to confusion if you establish it outside of BlackBerry World.
Now, I have noticed the work-around posted by a BlackBerry Forum guru here on using a dummy VISA account, this helpful person provides a list. WOULD THIS HELPFUL PERSON PLEASE EXPLAIN THE PROCEDURE IN DETAIL? i WOULD HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT IN PRACTICE -- APPARENTLY THE SOFTWARE WILL STILL CHARGE THE APP TO ONE'S REGISTERED VISA??? PLEASE GIVE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS.
If I can, indeed, purchase something via PayPal, or ultimately, indeed with a VISA payment, without a glitch [I'll keep trying] I'll report it here. Meanwhile all the apps I've downloaded from BlackBerry World have been free ones, except for the one that mistakenly got sold to me via Bell billing me for it [which they won't] a few days ago [either Bell or BB got stuck with the $1.99 or something for that!]. The free ones I've downloaded have been excellent, including this Top 500 Ringtones, just the kind I was looking for, lots of real telephone and cell phone ring sounds for a purist like me...
But I hope BlackBerry can fix up the glitch in BlackBerry World soon, it shouldn't be there at all... my husband has the theory the facility is staffed by too small a core of software people to keep up with the problems and wasn't properly tested, or else it was subcontracted out and they are stuck with it until they get a new one -- come on, BlackBerry, get a new BlackBerry World payment procedure that works smoothly, us BlackBerry fans are anxious about you!!!

Just to say there ARE lots of Apps on BlackBerry World, so potential BB purchasers should not let that stop them, and some very good free ones, excellent -- BlackBerry Travel is really good, and OsmAnd maps are fabulous, big to download, but when you get it you'll be amazed. Just download a provincial or smaller map to start, because they are huge files and very detailed, but lots of trails and paths are on them... good for park trails and such.

BlackBerry Playbook & Q5 BlackBerry World Issues

My playbook and my q5 wont connect to blackberry world and in playbook I cant upgrade nor purchased anything is there a problem with my blackberry id or is this a problem with blackberry
MOD EDIT: Subject changed to reflect a new topic

About your problem with the PlayBook in BBWorld : maybe something dealing with the payment mode you choose?
Last month I had a problem willing to buy an app using Paypal :
The process blocked and the option to swith payment mode was disabled.
Just in case here is the solution that solved my problem :
Reboot the PlayBook
Go to BBWorld App
Option Payment now accessible
Select Credit Card
It works!

Help. Folders won't keep after Blackberry World Update July 18

I have a Z10 running OS 10.1.0.1720, Software version 10.1.0.273. I updated to the latest version of Blackberry World and received an error message and couldn't install it. I tried it again and if installed, only this time all my folders on the homescreen and other screens are all gone.
After spending a hour or so setting everything back up last night, they're gone again. Only this time it happened differently, I started up my Globe and Mail app and it wouldn't load up the articles. I then tried the Canadian Newsreader app and it couldn't connect. So I restarted and all my folders disappeared. I hard rebooted after that (held onto the button on the top until the blue blackberry logo showed up) and they're still gone.
This is a royal PITA and wouldn't have upgraded to the new Blackberry World if that was the case. Help! Is there a resolution to this?
Also, my skyps video never worked on my Z10, but it has worked on others. Don't know why. Help x 2.

Good day
Welcome to BB forums
I did the upgrade last night so far no problems!

BlackBerry World Music Downloads Failing....Need Help

I just purchased a song to play for a kid who was asking to hear it but the download keeps failing. I have already paid for the song but I am unable to download it.
I have since tested BlackBerry World apps and they are working as usual. I've searched all over the Internet for an answer, but I'm having trouble finding any information.
Anyone have any thoughts on what I might need to do? I've tried refreshing BlackBerry World and I'm going to do another battery pull once I finish this post.

What is the name of the song that failed to download? Did you see any error?

Backing up and restoring app data of an App World (BlackBerry World) app

I'd like to do a security wipe on my old Bold 9700 and then reinstall/restore an App World (BlackBerry World) app that I purchased with the same BlackBerry ID.
1. Can I reinstall an app via App World after a security wipe?
2. WIll the app data (e.g. game scores) be restored?
3. I did a full back up with BDS7, if reinstalling the app on a security wiped phone does not reinstate the app data, can I retrieve the app data by restoring the app from the backup?
4. What about copying the .rem files of the App World folder of the app to my computer, reinstalling the app via App World and then copying the .rem files back to the Blackberry? Or is there another location I should look for the app data?
Thank you in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
HandsomeP wrote:
2. WIll the app data (e.g. game scores) be restored?
That I'm not sure of...it likely depends on how the scores are stored. If they are stored on the device, then it might be able to re-obtain that information after you reinstall the app. Likewise, if they are stored on some server somewhere, it might be able to do so. But there's really no way for anyone but the app developer to know for sure. If I were you, I'd prepare myself for those being lost as a result of this activity.

Maybe -- again, it depends on how the app works, which only the app developer can say. Some apps store data in AppMemory (which is what gets backed up), others store their data in Device or Media Card Memory (which is not necessarily backed up). And it may well be moot anyway, depending on how the developer coded the app.

4. What about copying the .rem files of the App World folder of the app to my computer, reinstalling the app via App World and then copying the .rem files back to the Blackberry? Or is there another location I should look for the app data?
Same issue...it all depends on how the developer coded the app. If the coded it to ignore any stored data anywhere each time the app is installed, then you can't force it to read anything, regardless of where you might restore it to. But, again, only the developer of the app can tell you what will happen in these circumstances.

How can I buy upgrade app in blackberry world...I'm in nigeria and I don't use prepaid card nor CC..

Blackberry world problem

Hi and Welcome to the Community! With that limited information, it's hard to know how to help you. So, start here:Article ID: KB17745 Downloading and purchasing applications using BlackBerry App WorldThere are multiple payment methods available (e.g., PayPal, carrier billing, credit card), but if you have none, then you have no way to pay for your purchase. You must have a payment method that BBWorld accepts, simple as that. Good luck!
