BlackBerry World disobeys device language settings

My copy of BlackBerry World plays smartass and displays Indonesian while I explicitly specify English as my language in device settings. Even worse is the fact that it's incomplete: there are still English phrases left in BlackBerry World here and there.
Is there a way to force BlackBerry World to not try to display a language it thinks I need and have it display the language I want instead?

World clock and language settings

LS, If I have my iPod set to local language (Dutch), the world clock shouws all cities in the US as been in the Netherlands, i.e.: Las Vegas, Netherlands. When the laguange set is English, cities are shown correctly, i.a. Atlanta, US. My S/W version is 1.1.2; anybody any thoughts here? THX.

mh, works fine for me, so I guess it's not a general firmware bug.
you could try to restore your ipod, I think that should help.

Blackberry APP world language settings

I was going through the categories on the App world on my Curve and for some reason all of the headings are in French. My carrier is Virgin mobile and i live in Toronto so I'm not sure what prompted the change. I recently upgraded to the latest version of App world so I'm not too sure if that anything to do with it. Is it possible to change the language settings back to English or am I going to have to brush up on my French from now on?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I fixed this issue about a week ago. Here is what I did:
Go to your language settings, and change it from english to whichever you choose, then change it back to english. If it doesn't work the first time, do it again, then turn off your phone, pull the battery and check.
I did this a couple of times, and eventually it fixed the issue and has never returned.
Good luck!

It is turned on...

Settings for using BlackBerry world

What are settings for using BlackBerry world???
When I want open it I have this massage:"there was a connection problem.BlackBerry World mus close"
Help me,plz.

Hi Farid-11388
You can update to 10.2 through the BlackBerry Link
But it is recommended to check if your Operator officially released the 10.2
And so it must be an update.
Always remember before upgrading to backup with BlackBerry Link.

Unable to make payment via BlackBerry world | AW10006c

I have been breaking my head with this for the past two months.
I live in India.
The problem I am facing is that I'm unable to purchase any app from BlackBerry world. If I use a credit/debit card, it gives me a AW10006c error.
I thought this was due to the added security layer used by debit/credit cards in India. For Visa, it is "Verified by Visa" & for Mastercard it is "Mastercard secure code". So then I used PayPal, it again threw some other error.
I first thought it's an error due to my debit card. So I switched to HDFC credit card. It threw the same error. So tried my Standard Charted credit card. The same error again. I can confirm that the cards are working perfectly fine otherwise. In fact, the cards are getting debited GBP1 each time I add it to my account after removing it. The same GBP1 gets refunded after a while. If I'm not wrong, that is how they verify if the card is working or not. After successful addition of the card, when trying to purchase any paid app, it throws the AW10006c error.
Later, I felt the error could be because of the 10.3.0.700 SDK os. So, I switched to a clean install of 10.2.1 official and tried all the above steps. Same error codes.
Then I tried to use my BlackBerry ID on another device (from Z10 to Q10). Same errors.
I made my friend try on his Z10 with his BlackBerry ID and his HDFC credit card and same error again.
The apps I wanna buy are
1. Usage Pro (Sasha Kanthan)
2. Hub++ (Devcellent Solutions Inc)
And a few BBM sticker packs.

change to another language then try again, if it doesn't work , change back to english then do it again. I annoy sure if this can work but it dose work for my Q10

App World has mixed language, how do I revert it?

My BlackBerry App World has been acting strangely these past few days. For absolutely no reason, it changes the "Games, Apps, Themes" icons to Indonesian, while "My World" and "My Account" are still in English.
Today, I deleted and re-installed BlackBerry Identity due to "BlackBerry Identity Update required" issue, and it's back, but now every icon in Apps category are in Indonesian, while everything else is in English! This is driving me nuts. Will re-installing BlackBerry App World help me? I want everything to be in English
BlackBerry Z10

Hello Raestloz and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with BlackBerry App World™ on your device.
When you installed App World, did you select Indonesian as the installation language or English?
Is your device Language set to English or Indonesian?
If you were to access any other applications, do they experiencing the same issue with the language menu?
Thanks!

Blackberry World

Hi there, just got a new 9900 Bold and trying to get BBW onto it a) can't use the usb connection and b) when i try via browser still no luck I get to the language part and click next and comes up with Error: invalid manifest or application descriptor. The "midlet name" attribute is missing. I need to set up enterprise to get emails coming through and can't do anything! Help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
Please try this sequence:
1) Remove AppWorld from your BB
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld
http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.

BlackBerry World: "List is not an Active List".

When I open BBW I'm getting a message:
"List is not an Active List"
Underneath that there is only 'OK' to get rid of the message, no indication as what needs to be done or any other information.
Mine is a Q10. I have opened and closed the BBW app several times, and also switched the device off and on again, but the message still comes up.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks!

"List is not an Active List" comes up on the BBW client when the list (of apps/games/content) that you are looking at (or the list that you tapped on) has changed/expired/replaced by BBW servers. The client is waiting to pick up the updated list and is simply telling you that the list you are on or are attempting to access is not active/current.
This is a self-correcting / temporary error and BBW will automatically 'read' the new list/contents. No user action is necessary. However, as a user, you can help the client quicken the refresh/update by clearing the current cache (steps below) or simply close the client and wait it out (usually for an hour or less).
Steps to clear local client cache :
1. Launch BBW client
2. Swipe down from the top edge and find "Settings".
3. Tap on "Settings" > "General" > "Refresh BlackBerry World"
4. Hit "Refresh" one more time to confirm. On success, the client will automatically exit and your cache is clear now.

Server down after updating the Blackberry World App Store

Hi there,
hopefully u can help me. For two days, after upgrating the Blackberry World App i'm not able to acces the following:
- internet
- no more push up emails
- BBM, Whatsapp, Windowslive Messenger, Facebook
- email settings ( is giving me the following error " Your device had a problem connecting to the server"
While i was upgrading the latest version of Blackberry World Application, was wasking me to update my Blackberry ID so i did it and after that all the problems came up. Looks like my blackberry server is down, can't acces anything. I contacted the carrier , they checked and said is it from aplication i have updated. They suggested me to delete the application which gives the problem. I deleted the files of Blackberry World App , but still the module is it in my mobile and can't be acces even when i tried to reinstall it.
I don't know if this can help, but i have noticed that BIS is like disconnected while EDGE signal is there. Sometimes "EDGE" changes into "edges" ( small letters ) and GSM.
The carrier sent me again the service books, but i still have troubles ... nothing at all changed !
The following Services Status is there:
Connection : Mobile Network
Balckberry Internet Service
Connection: not connected
Blackberry Enterprise Server
Connection: not connected
Mobile Netwok:

I can't figure out what can cause this problem. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank u

Useless useless....

False update notification in blackberry world caused by blackberry bridge

So I kept getting the notification (trademark red bb message/update icon) when I opened blackberry world, but some with some unique characteristics. It would only happen upon the first opening unless I hit the screen lock and then once again it would appear only the first time i entered the world. I would indicate there was an update in my world apps but when i went in there.....nada. I would not get a notification in the hub or on the home screen but only when i opened bb world myself. If i closed it at this point and opened it up immediately the notification would be gone. I played around with apps and settings and the issue stopped when I deleted the blackberry bridge app. It is not a huge issue but give it a try if you are experienceing this.

Hey Shinrai,
Thanks for the post.
Did you recently update your BlackBerry device software? Also did this happen after you install any applications from BlackBerry World?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Cannot access Blackberry World

I have been accessing blackberry world via the games option but that is now no longer wirking can anyone help, PLEASE.

Simply uninstall it, restart your device, re-install it from your browser (www.blackberry.com/appworld/) and restart again. It should run as normal when you launch it.
But before you do that, try switching off your mobile network and launch the app using a WiFi network. If this works, then there's a problem in your connection settings.
Make sure to also check application permissions to confirm the app is authorised to connect to the network. Do this by going to settings > security & privacy > application permissions.
Else, check your service books or get help from your service provider if you still can't connect.

Access to BlackBerry World store of US while being outside US

Hi BlackBerry
I was wondering why the access to blackberry world is determined by which mobile carrier I'm currently using my phone with.
Correct me if I'm wrong, If someone from the US for expample is out of the US and is using a sim card from the local carrier in the country that he is currently living in, he cannot access the BlackBerry world of the US, instead, he will gain access to the BlackBerry World of the country which he is currently living in.
I think that Android also has the same concept with their users' ID's, which I see as very annoying compared to Apple, which gives you the opportunity to have your user profile linked to your country's AppStore by entering a valid address and a payment method relating to your country or issued from your country.
Apple also gives the opportunity to the user to choose (No Payment) option and enjoy using and downloading all free apps, which is a very good option, and is currently available on BlackBerry and Android as well.
I really Hope if BlackBerry can follow the same approach of Apple with while creating or editing the BlackBerry ID, in order to have the BlackBerry ID as "Country determined" and NOT to be as "Mobile Carrier determined" as the case is now. I hope also if you do so to keep the same flexibility (as now) of not obligating the user to enter a payment method while creating or editing a BlackBerry ID.
I think that if BlackBerry considers and implements this, it will give a big push to its users and the traffic flow on he BlackBerry World for downloading and buying apps, movies, music,...etc, as it allow for example US users US to access the BB world of US while being outside US for a trip or work. The same will apply for other users from any country around the wold.
So, I hope that BlackBerry will provide this flexibility as provided by Apple (and maybe a better one). Please consider this seriously and keep moving ahead.
Regards.

Hey ahmed_mh1,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the feedback.
Currently BlackBerry World will take the localization settings from the APN settings on your micro SIM card.
If this does change in the future, I would suggest checking for updates at www.blackberry.com/appworld
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

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.
HandsomeP wrote:

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.
HandsomeP wrote:
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.
