Blackberry World Not Functioning?????

For the past couple of days, I have been unable to purchase apps. The page pops up that "the payment server/system is busy.....try the transaction later." This, of course, is not a problem. However, it has become very frustrating since it has gone on for days now and I would like to purchase a full version to a game that has left me hanging..lol. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what is going on, as there is no way to call bb world to inquire there about the issue. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

Hello islandreamingma,
This may be caused by the incorrect country be selected in Settings. Go to Settings on the BlackBerry PlayBook, Select Language and change the Country/Region to current country.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks.

Blackberry Does not Function, Plugged into USB red light then 3 yellow lights and off

Blackberry Does not Function, Plugged into USB red light then 3 yellow lights and off, I cannot even claim the warrently without buying 50$ support?
I am an Electrical Engineer by trade and have 15+ years working with computers. I left it to charge over the last 3 days. Doesn't do anything. It's a $300 paper weight. My mother bought this product for me because she thought it was a great present but now it turns out to being worthless.
What kind of company are you? Honestly?
How the hell do you think your gonna get customer loyalty with this kind of customer service. It's clearly obvious why apple is destroying you. You are worthless competition. I want this blackberry fixed. I will NOT pay for support just to replace my blackberry. That is crooked business honestly. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
My mom bought this for my birthday 4 months ago. I open it up and it doesn't even work. How can you do this to your customers. It's no wonder your company is going out of business.
I demand you fix my issue. I have 1 year of warranty support. I will NOT pay extra just to get my Blackberry exchanged.
Wait until I inform all my news groups in my area of this. I am from ONTARIO, BRAMPTON. I am a CANADIAN, just like your company. CP24 WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS. I WILL RUIN YOUR REPUTATION. I PROMISE YOU THAT.

No sarcasm here either.
One of my PlayBooks recently went 'possum on me, too. Very frustrated, tried all the known tricks and tips to charge and revive it. Over a year old. I called the support line knowing it was out of date and they would deny me.
Nope, the lady very pleasantly accepted my request, I spoke with customer support and they bugged me via email daily until we got it resolved -- to MY satisfaction. My first interaction with PlayBook support, and it could not have gone more nicely nor further beyond my expectation.
I don't know what you experienced with PlayBook support, you didn't say why you're so mad with them. This is a user-to-user community support forum. We are not RIM employees, but volunteers who enjoy assisting other users. RIM personnel rarely comment on queries posted here. You would have noticed this in the EULA and message upon registration.
Sooo... good luck, and just for the record... the LED activity you described IS very fixable. Sorry you don't have the choice to explore those remedies any longer.

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.

Bbm and app world not functioning

My bbm and my blackberry world app are not working I have deleted and re downloaded but still not working am using a bold 9790

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app2) Resend Service BooksKB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet ServicePlease wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.3) RebootWith power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then please add details..."not working" is a bit difficult to understand. What exactly do you do? What exactly happens? Or, contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Issue for not opening blackberry world

Hii I have a blackberry torch 9800 so when I am connected to wifi I am not be able to use appworld,whatsapp and so... But I able to browse via internet and sometimes it is opening and sometimes may not so please answer my question. Now. What to do???

Does BlackBerry World, WhatsApp, etc., work when you are NOT connected to WiFi? Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider? You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

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.

Blackberry world is not available my country

Hi . I live in Ethiopia blackberry world is not available my country but I have blackberry I'd . What shall I do open my black berry world please give different options
Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please check this page to ensure you meet the minimum requirements (including if it is available in your country):
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp
If it is available in your country and you feel you meet the device-level system requirements, then contact your carrier to ensure that you meet the service plan (from them) requirements for access (via their network) to AppWorld.
Further still, do be aware that AppWorld is merely a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. As such, it is not your exclusive procurement source -- there are others that you can try:
AppWorld in selected countries
MobiHand everywhere in the world
Handango everywhere in the world
BPlay everywhere in the world
GetJAR everywhere in the world
I have found that there are very few apps that are exclusive to AppWorld. You can search the on-line catalog and then search out other procurement sources, including quite often the developer website itself.
Lastly, do understand that BB does not have unilateral control over the availability of AppWorld. They have to ensure that they and their partners meet local laws and legislation for operating an e-commerce system -- and that can take time. AppWorld is in over 160 countries now and adding more and more every month.
Good luck!

Hong Kong Local Apps Not Available on Blackberry World

I can't find any of the Hong Kong local apps on Blackberry world. i.e. Appledaily, Wechat and Hong Kong Movie. Anyone know why? Thanks!

There can be different reasons for this. As far as I can see, you are using a Z10, maybe the apps do not work on your device yet ? Maybe only on older BlackBerry Devices (OS 7 or earlier) and not on BlackBerry 10 (which is the OS of your Z10).
Or maybe the developer has just set up some restrictions on carrier, and such.
if you look at the apps you mention in a normal browser on your pc, you can see what the restrctions are of every app (country, carrier, devices) and see if they match for you. If there is still something not clear, you should contact the developer(s) of these apps for more information.
A like is always appreciated,
but a nomination for BB Elite even more :-)

Blackberry World will not open

Hi
I just got a Q10 and I have my Blackberry ID set up and working, all emails confirmations done etc but when I go to open Blackberry World it opens for a second, minimises the screen and then just stays blank. The same thing also happens if I go onto the web and try to access it from there or try to download an App via the internet.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try this, in your BlackBerryID screen...
Tap Edit.
Tap to uncheck or check the "I do not want to receive..." and that will activate the SUBMIT button.
Tap Submit
You will be asked to enter your password. Do that.
Once that updates, go back to App World and see if it works.
If it still does not, you need to call Vodafone for technical assistance. You may need to ask them to escalate the issue up to BlackBerry for assistance.

Blackberry Z10 app world not working

Ever since the latest software update, Blackberry App world on my phone will not work. I open it and it tries to load but never gets past that point. I have pulled the battery to see if this would help but still no luck. I can't remove it as it is part of the new os 10 system. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On your Z10, go to your Music or Games icon.
Tap the lower left three dots overflow icon and touch BlackBerry World.
Now, BlackBerryWorld should start for you.
