Whatsup upgrade leads to BIS issues

I recently upgraded the Whatsup application.
On completion of installation, I observed that it causes my BB status to change from 3G-BB to 3G only. That means that I dont receive mails, cant access FB or twitter. I disabled all the app permissions (Internet, User data etc) and upon reboot 3G-BB is back.
To be sure I restored Whatsapp and immediately the service degraded.
So can anyone guide how I can fallback to old version? or resolve the issue.
My BB - Storm2 - 9550 v5.0.713 (platform 4.2.0.323)

Hello cooltyger and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
We are unable to comment on 3rd party applications. 
As something to try, delete WhatsApp from your Options>Applications, reboot then reinstall it. If the same issue happens after reinstalling it, contact WhatsApp support at [email protected] to investigate further.
Thanks!

  • Will Removal of sharepoint members group leads to access issues?

    Hi,
    we have a sharepoint 2013 site collection with 10 sub sites. On the top level I have members group with contribute permissions.
    Due to some rules of organization, we created 3 different sharepoint groups giving contribute permissions at top level and added all the people from members group to these 3 groups based on some characteristics. After that we removed members group.
    Since then when any one tries to log into the site, They are getting access required error.
    If I add the members group back to the site, They are able to access.
    My question is when the same person is already in one of the 3 groups with same contribute permissions at the top site level, How the removal of members group is leading to access issues?
    Please guide me.
    Regards 
    Chaitanya.

    Hi Chaitanya,
    As Vishal said, you need to check the issue occurs with which content in the site collection when the users try to access.
    The issue may be due to that the content the users try to access has stopped inheritance from its parent and the newly created groups have no permission on the content.
    In most scenarios, the Site Members group will have permission on most items even when the items have unique permissions(Stop inheritance from its parent).
    When the Site Members group has been removed and the new groups have no permission on those items, then the users in the new groups will get Access Denied error.
    I recommend to use Site collection administrator account to check the permission on the item where users get access denied error.
    And grant permission to the new groups on those items.
    Best regards,
    Victoria

  • Why OS 5 upgrade only for BIS subscribers?

    I have blackberry curve 8520. OS ver 4.6.something
    I want to know why  the OS 5 upgrade is only for BIS subscribers and not common blackberry users?
    I mean we also paid the price for the phone and we also want most out of the bb. If blackberry considers the BIS subscribers the only customers then why sell the phones to others as well.
    If blackberry want to decrease the number of bb admirers and users, then its a good step to limit the OS upgrade to only BIS users, otherwise whats the point of limiting the update to only BIS?
    Dont they want the blackberries to look and work cool, at least compared to other cellphone giants.
    Solved!

    I do not agree,
    1. I should not have to pay  for newer versions of my firmware, paying them to fix what they messed up in the first place, i did not have phone until now that charged for something like that(even apple gives it away freely).
    2.BIS is very expensive i WILL NOT pay 9 euro+VAT for 5 MB transfer. At these prices they might as well steal your money out of your pockets.
    Wow. Where to start on this one.
    First off, you are not paying for a newer version of the device software. You must pay for BIS to utilize all the features that your Blackberry has to offer, such as having your e-mail pushed to your phone, having the entire internet at your fingertips whenever you want, wherever you are. You are WASTING your Blackberry by not having BIS or BES. I'd be willing to bet that 99.9999% of Blackberry owners pay for BIS or have BES, and the other 0.0001% are the idiots who buy a blackberry to "look cool". That is not what these devices are made for, or marketed as. If you want a "cool" phone, go get a Samsung touch-screen, or an iphone.

  • Win 10 Upgrade and Power Manangement Issues

    I have an S230u Twist.  After upgrading to Win 10 I have the following outstanding issues:  The most problematic is that after the upgrade I have an issue with the unit going to sleep. Upon waking, the screen brightness resets to about 5%.  It doesn't do this all the time but often enough be irritating.  I've turned off adaptive brightness but this doesn't help.  I've run System File Checker which made some fixes to corrupt files and this helped somewhat.  Lenovo Solutions Center reports that the Power Management Software is not installed even though I 've upgraded the Power Management driver with the Win 10 version.  I'm at a loss to know what to check next to fix this. The other issue concers the start menu - the "Most Used"  doesn't seem to update with the Most Used programs I use (most which are on the Task Bar). Any support I can get on the Power Management issue would be most appreciated.

    I spent more hours trying to resolve. Down loaded driver 355.60 Win 10 64 bit (355.60-notebook-win10-64bit-international-whql)Uninstalled current driver and software via device manager.Expanded the driver and ran setup. Performed a custom install without GF Experience. Install went through fine and rebooted after removing software.Came back up and continued install and completed with no errors. Ran device driver and confirmed driver installed. Set GoogleEarth to run with graphics processor.Everything seemed okay.Set desktop to include in notification tray and Display GPU Activity so I could see that GE was running in processorThen launched GE with 3 buidings and citties. Ran site seeing tour.Crashed after a couple of minutes with System_thread_exception_not_handled and rebooted. When it came back up I turned of to show in notification tray and turned off GPU activity.Re-Ran GE and it lasted a bit longer and then crashed with the same errorSystem_thread_exception_not_handled and rebooted. Would welcome any further help. 

  • Hard Drive Upgrade Leads to Discovery of More Issues

    Okay, I have a MacBook Pro (older, pre-unibody), 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB Ram, and purchased a larger hard drive to install to just get me some more storage inside the case.  I put this drive into a kit that makes it an external, firewire drive, and I connect it to my laptop and head to Disk Utility to Clone the the drive before doing the physical switch.  Cloning fails everytime and I get the "underlying task reported failure on exit" message.  I then try to Verify my current disk and I get "Volume Bit Map needs minor repair," "Invalid volume free block count, (should be 2049516 instead of 2049515), and " the volume in my hard drive needs repaired."  Disc Repair option is not accessible, so I look into performing repair via Terminal or Single-User mode.  I was going to do the "/sbin/fsck -fy" command, but Terminal doesn't seem to want display properly, and I can't start-up in Single-User.  Everytime I try, while holding down Command & S, my attempt is ignored and the system starts up normally in OS.
    I have read several message board posts about related issues and have tried many different suggestions that I have read, or pieced together on my own, but nothing seems to work.  Does anyone have any other ideas that might allow me to clone this drive so I can install it in my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks

    Okay, well, the reason I am trying to clone, and not zero erase everything, is that I do not have all of the programs or OS on discs that I can simply reinstall everything.  If I did, I would do that instead.  In fact, I would prefer that, but at this point, I am hoping to find a suggestion to repair the current drive so that it is clonable.  I'll be upgrading the OS at a later date, but I can't at this time.
    Maybe another option would be to find out how, exactly, I can extract the programs from my old drive, and reinstall them on the new one without cloning.
    I could backup my user files and programs on another drive.  Install the drive and the OS in the laptop, and then reinstall my old programs.  Any tips on how I can move the programs over without the original discs?

  • Recent ML upgrade leads to widespread video performance issues.

    Hello,
    I recently took the leap to Mountain Lion and I'm starting to regret my decision. I have noticed a real drop off in video performance across the entire system.
    Firstly, I came across a well documented issue with Final Cut Pro 7 video playback in the canvas. Playback is almost unusable due to introduced artifacts and tearing. However the video performance issues seem more wide spread than "unsupported software". I notice extremely rough image switching when I switch between workspaces, particularly on the second monitor. Also, when the screen saver kicks in and it swaps images, the same very klunky image swap is noticed on the second monitor. Also when the Reading List display is toggled in Safari, the remaining window slide left or right is not smooth at all, irrespective of what monitor it is on. There are other Safari rendering issues too, involving flickers, and other general video issues.
    My machine is a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 6 core, 3.3GHz with 24GB of RAM and a 5870 graphics card. None of these issues were present in Lion.
    I was wondering whether anyone else had noticed similar issues and if so, what if anything can be done about it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Scott

    This problem is not restricted to Leopard, 10.4.10 with QuickTime 7.3 is affected too. 10.4.11 doesn't show any improvements either. Yes, we need a fix for this... but one that solves this problem on Tiger as well, please.

  • Windows 10 Upgrade Checked PC Shows Issues With Drivers

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C655D, running Windows 7 Home Premiumwith the Service Pack 1 (SP1), 64 bit operating system. When I open up the Windows 10 Upgrade Reservation window, I clicked on the button on the upper left hand corner which open up a side panel on the left hand side. I go down and click on "Check your PC." It then gives me the message "This PC can be upgraded but there may be some issues." Because of those issues the following devices might not work properly, Those devices are, "Terminal Service Keyboard Driver" and "Terminal Server Mouse Driver."
    I posted this same message over at the Microsoft forums and someone told me to check with Toshiba to see if there are any drivers or patches that need to be updated. I've checked here at Toshiba and thus far there are no updated drivers or patches I need to download. In fact here at the Toshiba forums they have set up a thread with links that lead to Microsoft for anyone who has questions about Windows 10. It appears no one from either side knows what any of this means or how to resolve it.
    Does this mean I won't be able to download this free upgrade to Windows 10? Or can I still download the free upgrade to Windows 10 but have to download separate drivers? If I have to download separate drivers where do I download the proper ones that are compatible for my computer and Windows 10?
    So my original questions still stands. All help will be appreciated!

    Someone will say "Post your full model number and part number from the sticker on the bottom" and I apparently got here first, so I might as well post that.    That way, people know the full specs of your machine. I didn't get that hardware check when I clicked the white window icon.   I just got a screen to input my email address.(eta:   I went back and found that, clicked it.   It found no hardware issues.   It said the Toshiba DVD player might not work.  Try running the Win8 upgrade assistant and see what it says, because it might provide more detail.) There is a Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant, and apparently they say use that to check your hardware for Win 10.  I ran it on my L505-ES5034 an early i3 Windows 7 machine.   It didn't find any issues.    I ran it on my U505-S2012 or whatever it is, Windows 7 machine with a touch screen, and it told me that the touch screen may possibly not be compatible with Windows 8.    There are different requirements for Win8 touch screen vs. Win7, though.  But I didn't get any warmings about terminal services, which I associate with remote access. Jerry Lippey and I are running the Win 10 evaluation builds on older Core2 Duo machines.   Mine is a 2009 or 2010 model.  I really haven't seen any hardware issues.  I've had numerous problems with Cortana and start menu and desktop stop working and refuse to restart, though.

  • Aspell upgrade leads to - FATAL: kernel too old - SYSTEM BACK UP 8-)

    OK, I really hosed it up now 8-(
    Who would think that upgrading a spellchecker could cause such a problem, but upgrading aspell has totally crashed my system.
    I knew something was fishy when it wanted to change all of the gcclibs, but I went ahead and --force 'd  the upgrade anyway. What a schmuck!
    It brings something to mind about too much rope.
    Now I can't run any command without it leading to -> FATAL: kernel too old
    I can't pacman back to the older package, I can't manually cp the files, WTF?!
    Seems like the kernel itself should have been a dependancy.
    It looks like I'm rescue CD bound at this point.
    Any insight as to what to repair first would be GREATLY appreciated.
    The command line session that led to this little disaster is included below.
    It's interesting that the programs that were already running will still run (the shell still runs, it just can't launch any new programs, even ls, mv, etc.) I'm even making this post from the browser that was running prior to the debacle, but I can't ls, wow.
    Thanks again for any insight...

    Thanks JGC!
    After booting from a rescue CD, I was able to pacman -U to the 2.5 version of glibc and the appropriate kernel-headers and now I'm back in action.
    This machine was setup about 2 years ago. At that time I built my own kernel in order to get all of my motherboard features to work.
    I've been running arch as my primary desktop workstation for almost 5 years now. I've never really had luck using the pacman -Su option. There always seems to be some inter dependency issue that prevents it from completing.
    For instance, after recovering from this current dillema (and backing up my home/ 8-) I thought I'd abandon my custom kernel and launch forward into stock arch.
    The pacman -Su led to this isssue:
    :: ttf-bitstream-vera conflicts with xorg. Remove xorg? [Y/n] n
    error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
    error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
    :: ttf-bitstream-vera: conflicts with xorg
    Now, I don't have a package installed called ttf-bitstream-vera, but apparently pacman thinks I need it and I can't have it and xorg at the same time.
    Some variant of this situation occurs each time I've tried to use the upgrade feature of pacman through the years.
    Now I know some people have never reinstalled their systems from sctratch for years by continuously using pacman -Su and just staying up to date. But this just hasn't worked for me. Each time something goes wrong, sometimes leaving me with a system that takes days to get back into working order.
    This current issue, while being inconvenient in having to use a rescue CD to recover, wasn't that hard to overcome. I've done pacman -U to older versions numerous times to get out of problems caused by upgrading a specific package. However when a complete system upgrade goes bad, it's very difficult to discover what has to be downgraded to get back to the working system.
    But, I'm willing to try again.
    Any insight into why the ttf-bitstream-vera package should conflict with xorg would be very much appreciated.
    I'm looking into setting pacman.conf to prevent ttf-bitstream-vera from being loaded at all. This is my current workaround approach. Once everything is upgraded perhaps these fonts will load without error.
    As usual, things aren't as simple as one might first suspect.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Oracle Database upgrade to 11G (Host_Command Issues)

    Sorry I'm posting this again. Original post in Database - Upgrade. I'm not getting a lot of clicks in that category
    We recently upgraded to Oracle 11g (Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production). Our PL/SQL release: (PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production). We use a lot of host commands inside our PL/SQL stored procedures. One of these included fetching data from an external server and pushing the data into Oracle Tables.
    Most of this process is running fine, except the execution never completes. There is no issue data wise. It's just that the Host_command doesn't receive the completion status and seems to be running even though there's nothing going on in the background.
    The Oracle e-business suite's concurrent program based on this stored proc also never completes, though it doesn't do anything in the background. For testing purpose, our DBA used 2 insert statements one before and one after the host_command. The insert before the host_command worked but not the one after. Please help! This is happening after we upgraded to 11g 3 weeks ago!
    Thanks, Naveen Gagadam.

  • Firmware upgrade?? Printing Issues?? HP Designjet Z6100ps

    I have a Designjet purchase as a demo in 1/2008. The last firmware upgrade that is currently installed is GG-GG_9.0.0.4. I am having printing issues where it prints about 4" of my prints from Apogee Printdrive (which comes from a windows computer) and then wants a restart with the firmware error code. Prints from the MAC are fine and will go straight thru. I have tried multiple firmware upgrades (the latest is GG-GG_11_00_00-2_mvl40-x86-opt_B.dmg) and it is all invalid. After a week of trial and error and trying different upgrades from different computers I am at my whits end. We print to the this printer presslayouts to look at before plating for press. Printing Banners from the MAC is no problem. Anyone have any suggestions. And of course, warranty and service is nill.

    I am linking you to the the Designjet forums below. Please just repost your question their it will have better chance of getting answered.

  • CRM2007 upgrade and IC webclient issue.

    Hi all,
    We have successfully upgraded from crm4.0 to 2007 last weekend.
    However when I launch IC Webclient, it is blank. Is there something that I missed?
    Also, I have applied  note 1144511, still same issue.
    Regards,
    KG
    Edited by: KG on Mar 17, 2008 7:06 PM

    Hi KG,
    May I know how you started the IC webclient in CRM 2007?
    Are you using crm_ic transaction?
    For CRM 2007, different steps have to be used.
    For CRM 2007, you might have to use transaction
    bsp_wd_cmpwb and component = crm_ui_frame to test.
    This will start the new WEB UI with a user id has business role related to IC Webclient. The standard role is IC_AGENT.
    You may have to assign it in ppoma_crm for the position using the same step as you assign a ic webclient profile, but instead, you need to assign a business role = IC_AGENT.
    Hope these could do help!

  • Emails sent from device not show in "Sent Box" and "BIS" issue

    Dear All and Rim:

    Mails sent from device are not show in AOL "Sent Box" nor Outlook Express's "IMAP" / "POP" server's Outgoing "SMTP" folder.
    Truly need copies to "Sent Box", Thanks for help!!

    Thanks you,
    Jan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So for the mail issue seems sending myself a copy is the only way to go, right?
    That would be a solution.
    And about the BIS, my try was on a PC, it didnt work...  Anyway, i was going to log on to the BIS to work on my issue above, but seems it doesnt help now, so it doesnt matter if i can sign up or not.
    Well, that's entirely odd...I just used that link myself (from a PC) and get into my BIS account just fine. You can, however, use the device interface to BIS -- watch that demo I provided you above for instructions on that. BIS is merely a service, provided by your carrier. The PC/website method and the device interface -- those are simply two different interfaces into the same service, so using one or the other doesn't matter...they result in the same thing.
    Good luck!

  • Has Firefox been optimzied for the new Mac OSX Lion? I've been having issues using the browser since upgrading to Lion. Issues include using some websites as well as google e-mail...icons do not appear etc.

    when checking mail in google I am not able to 'star' an e-mail or mark it etc. I don't get the option to do that, as I did before upgrading to Mac Osx Lion

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Want to upgrade to CS6, but issue with AVCHD scrubbing might stop me

    I've been using the Adobe Creative Suite for years and really love it. The last version I stuck to was CS5. Premiere Pro CS5 had no problems scrubbing my AVCHD footage (mts wrapper from GH2 cameras) and I wanted to upgrade to CS5.5 when this became available. Then a problem occured: although the project files (old and new) loaded a lot quicker than before, it was no longer possible to scrub through the footage. The lag was just incredible and I can see (and hear) my drives go mad as I try to scrub through the footage. I assume this is because certain things are no longer loaded at the opening of the project, but just when you look at the footage on a timeline.
    I hoped the issue would have been fixed in CS6, but after a colleague kindly installed the software for a few days on my machine (spare licence he had, since been uninstalled), it is clear that it is still impossible to use. WHY?
    I'm happy to upgrade some of my system to try and make this work, but I need to know what the problem. My current set-up is (no longer) cutting edge, but hardly bottom of the pile either. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Current Spec:
    6 core AMD processor 3.6Ghz
    8 GB of ram
    Nvidia GT440 card (cuda enabled)
    MTS files and project files are on a 2TB raid 0 (though windows 7, not dedicated card) (2 drives 1TB each 7200RPM sata 3)
    Thanks for any help.
    PS: I tried with and without cuda, moved the media cache to other drive, disabled sound whn scrubbing,... pretty much everything

    Niels,
    I've seen them and will add them to the results page later today.
    You end up around rank #630, somewhat as expected. Your disk score is quite acceptable and reflects your raid setup. However, your MPEG score is disappointing, but that may be attributed to only 8 GB memory and the relatively meager GT 440 card. However, in comparison with other Phenom II X6 systems, nothing really stands out.
    Your dilemma to improve the scrubbing behaviour is twofold: You are hindered by the slowness of the Phenom II X6, and whatever you will upgrade, but keeping the AMD CPU will only marginally improve performance. If you really want to improve performance you need a completely new Intel based system, but that is costly, requiring a new CPU, mobo and memory.
    Upgrading memory does not look attractive, since it will not really help performance and is not portable to a new Intel system.
    The only things that can help IMO and that can be ported to a new system in the future are extra disks and a better video card. I would start with additional disks, see if that solves the scrubbing issues. If that still is not enough, you can consider upgrading the video card to a GTX 670 or even a GTX 560 Ti if your PSU can handle it.
