Time to MAN UP Blackberry World

Enough of the kiddie apps and games. I need to see some adult apps for business users who don't text every five seconds.
I need to see Blackberry Travel....and...
CRM tools like Maximizer Mobile
Proper invoice and time sheet apps from well known app developers not poorly created apps.
Also I'd like to see some adult ringtones and notification tones - you know like ones for business users not kiddies!!!

Hey deveshpatel,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you get a specific error message with that error code? Also when was the last time you could access BlackBerry World?
I look forward to your reply.
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

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.

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.

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 World thinks I need to update Apps that are already up-to-date. (Infinite Update Loop)

Hello,
I have been having trouble with Blackberry World. It states that I have apps that need updating, but I already have the most recent update of these apps. In addition, BBW states that I need updates for apps that I no longer have installed on my phone. (and I cant seem to uninstall these apps via BBW)
I have tried installing the update (even if its not needed), and uninstalling/re-installing the apps, and nothing eliminates this problem. "Refresh BlackBerry World" does not help either.
for an example: I have 9 apps that BBW thinks I need to update. One of which is Blackberry Blend. When I click on Blend, It states that the Update is available to Version 1.1.0.67, but directly underneath, it states that I have Installed Version 1.1.0.67 !!! If I choose to perform the update, the notice for updating Blend shows back up in BBW immediatley. The same issue is occuring with a number of apps, including: Google Talk, Skype, etc..
Any suggestions on how to stop this BBW App Update Infinite Loop?

Hi, I've tried clearing the cache multiple times. With or without reboot, it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I should probably mention that this is on a Z10 STL100-3 OS release 10.3.1.1865 OS version 10.3.1.2708. This problem was occuring with only Skype before the upgrade from 10.2, but since the update its with 9 other Apps as well. I even completely wiped my phone, and only selectively restored a handful of apps to prevent the issue, but thats when BBW now displays required updates for Apps I no longer have installed on the phones since starting from scratch.
any other suggestions?

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

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

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 issue for iran

there is a restriction that country like us can't use blackberry services,
i'm in city of south of iran that UAE carriers works in my city but under the antenna of our country.
could i use the UAE SIM to download from blackberry world?
right now i use android version and it's a little laggy ,
blackberry original softwares or apps has a great performance,
you could have many customers from iran and make really more money by ignoring the restriction.
and why your company boycott us?
what is the reason?
but the first question is important to me ,that one about changing sim.
best regards

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!

Cannot open BlackBerry World

I have a weird problem with the App World. I can't open it, only a black screen appears but nothing happens. I have already tried to reboot the phone. It didn't help. I took out the battery and started again, no change either. I found some old error post on various forums, and there seemed to be the resolution to open the Music app and on the three dots on the bottom click on Blackberry World but I didn't have the option to click on Blackberry World. I opened a browser window and entered :appworld://parentalcontrols but again I was only brought to the black screen of the App World and nothing worked. I tried to click on an app and click on search for new updates, only got the black screen. I checked if I have the newest Blackberry Software and I do. It's been like this for weeks and a couple of apps are no longer working properly because I need to update them but I can't without access to the App World. No idea what else I can do! Please help!!!

Hey icejazz,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
What BlackBerry smartphone are you currently using? When was the last time you could access Payment Options? Have you tried re-installing BlackBerry World by going to www.blackberry.com/appworld/download
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Try waiting a few minute and reopening BlackBerry world) but I just tried many. Times, as well I turned my device off and restarted but it stills not working! What can I do for make it working..?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It very likely is...if you did not use the Device Switch Wizard and/or did not involve your carrier in the process, it is entirely possible that your services have not been properly migrated to your replacement BB.
KB05421 What is the Switch Device Wizard
Give that a try and see if it helps your situation.
