Who else is frustrated with App World 3.0??? Dear RIM, bring back v2.0 - it worked better.

Who else is frustrated with the new App World 3.0???
Just updated from 2.0.
What happened to the thousands and thousands of apps?
The search function is garbage...it doesn't work! My screen distorts every time!
Why can I only see 25 applications at a time...then wait for a whole minute while the Green Circle just keeps circling...then see 25 more applications...then wait for a whole minute...?
App World has FROZEN several times on me and I've had to do a battery pull.
This is NOT A GOOD UPGRADE!!!

I'm so upset with this useless upgrade! Everything was perfect with the previous version of app world. I have a bold 9700 running O.S 5.0 and this update literally ruined my phone:
1- The new app world is not even working properly, when you open an app, it only displays a blue screen. ( No delete, upgrade, screenviews: Nothing)
2-Search doesn't work
3- Somehow when I upgraded to app world 3.0 my BBM icon disappeared, and I've been resetting the phone to factory settings, nothing seems to work.
I think this is ridiculous, you can't release such a terrible upgrade, I have never witnessed anything so bad. I'm really thinking about giving up my blackberry! Worst thing: no one at AT&T seems to be able to help.
I'm sorry RIM, but this upgrade is a fiasco.

Frustrated with App World

Can anyone tell me if a setting is blocking this access or a way to solve it. I am running 10.2.0.424

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 (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With 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.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
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 you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Problems with APP World

Just got back into the Curve from a WM phone and I forgot how easy this phone is to use!!! Having a problem with App world though. I;m receiving an error message stating I'm unable to connect to the server. Anyone have any suggestions on how to rectify the problem? I'm sure it's a super easy fix and I'm just missing it online somewhere. Thanks!

Here's a few steps I've recommended that have worked for some...
There have been some issues with the AppWorld services lately...most are reported to be cleared up. Please try again. Also, please try removing and re-installing AppWorld...some have reported that to be helpful. In addition...RIM has released AppWorld version 1.1.0.15...it is highly recommended to be on that version.
Also please try a hard reset: With 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.
In addition, you can try this sequence:
1) Remove AppWorld from your BB (Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Applications) -- if it requests that you reboot the BB, do so.
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot as described above.
3) Get a new link and install a fresh copy of AppWorld
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_download
Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
Cheers!

Help with App-World PLEASE

I bought a second-hand Blackberry Curve 8520 today, and called my provider, Virgin asking them if they could help with App-World, they left me on hold for nearly 30 minutes so I hung up. I have got my BBM sorted, but when I try to use the App World it says that it is having trouble connecting to the Blackberry App World Server and that I should verify my network connections. I have no idea what this means and really need help.
Thank you

Sorted it now

Problem With App World and E-mail

First of all, hello to you all and congratulations on the fantastic community you guys have here.
Now on to my questions.
I got my Curve 8900 in June and immediately tried to download the BB AppWorld because it sounded pretty cool. However, it wouldn`t let me do so because it said my device wasn`t compatible with the AppWorld software. Granted, I only tried this from my computer, never from the BB. Well, in late July, I had to hop on a plane to South America, where I`ve been since then and will be until January. I installed the BB Software on my notebook at that point and once again, tried to install the AppWorld software. The message then changed to "Your device doesn`t meet the system requirements for the AppWorld software" or something along those lines. I have the latest Device Software, Desktop Software V. 4.7. I tried looking for answers on the RIM/Blackberry website, but found nothing (however, I feel I should mention that I gave up after the first 5-10 relevant hits on my searches), and I still want to have the AppWorld Software so I can use the Facebook App, perhaps a map application, and perhaps more of the plethora of apps I`m sure Blackberries have available to them.
Second question. I`ve looked at trying to set up my phone with my e-mail account, but every time I`ve done so, I get one option; "Set up using Blackberry Enterprise Server". I am an individual who likes his Blackberry. I do not use it for business purposes, I do not want to buy the rights to use the Enterprise Server, I do not want go through any more complex hoops just to get my Hotmail inbox on my phone. Help, please!

Hi,
Try downloading App World directly onto the Blackberry by the Blackberry, and not via your Desktop / Laptop computer.
On the Blackberry go to the Main Menu and then select the downloads folder to see if you already have App World in there ( The round Blackberry icon ).
If not, open the Blackberry Internet Browser and go to : www.blackberry.com/appworld/download
Follow the instructions there and you should be sorted
Sorry, I don't have an answer to your E-Mail question, maybe someone else will be able to help.
If you found my answer ( or anyone else's ) to be helpful, don't forget to click the Kudos button !

Need Help with App World on the Blackberry Curve 9300

Right i got the new Blackberry curve 9300 about a week ago. All my mates already have blackberry curves 8520's. I downloaded App World to get the same theme has my mate, but when i go on his it says he has over 1300 themes on his App World and i only have around 300 on my App World. Why is this? Also i can't get the theme i want because i don't have all the themes on my App World for some reason. If you could help please reply.

The 8520 and the 9300 are completely different devices with different OS's etc. The theme on an 8520 probably won't work on the 9300. The 9300 hasn't been out nearly as long as the 8520 so there are fewer themes available. This will change with time.

New problems with App World

When I try to open the Blackberry App World I get this message - 'DNS error". No explanation, no suggestions of what to do, just that. I had no problems in the past and trying to get an answer from the tech suppport center is is an exercise in frustration. I even deleted the app, turned the phone off, turned it back on, & re-downloaded it. No cahnge. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
a driver is required
some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
much storage left for media and apps
then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

Help with app world

Hi am wondering if anyone could help me , I had a bb 8520 before I got my bb 9320 and I had bought themes on my 8520 , I have looked on bb app world and I can get them for my bb 9320 but I have set up a diffrent email adress to the one that was on my 8520 , is there anyway I can access my old email through bb app world so I can download the themes I had paid for and purchased on my bb 8520 , I went to the themes a was wanting tried to puschase them and put in my old email adress but it says to enter the email adress which is linked to my bb app world could someone pls help me with this !

Hello,
AppWorld records, including purchases, remain attached to the BB ID. Hence, you must use the same BB ID on the new device in order to transfer the apps to the new device. But, since you are already in a position where you've created a new BB ID, you must abandon that and shift this BB over to your old BB ID. To do so, refer:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
The resolution is indeed drastic, so please be sure you have a good backup from which to restore after completing the WIPE. Hopefully, your new BB ID has no records you need to retain (e.g., new purchases) as there is no automated way to merge two BB ID accounts.
Good luck!

Problem with App World 4.0.55

I have just upgraded App World to version 4.0.55, and now it is not working...
I can see the icon, but selecting it doesn't appear to do anything. Holding the BB button shows the App World icon (as an application that is already running), and this is the case even immediately after a reboot. Selecting the running app just returns me to the home screen.
I have completely uninstalled / rebooted / reinstalled twice now, with the same result.
Any suggestions on how I might resolve this?

This is a suggestion for bb_kevin to try.
Action 1:
Please, start DTM 7.1, connect your phone, wait for the ‘sync all’ message, click on’ Applications’, wait for the ‘apps loading’ to stop, and check if you see a ‘red star’ on the top line and maybe at the bottom a message which says: ‘OSx.0.0…………Update’.
Also verify (scroll up/dn) in the list that AW 4.0.0.55 is installed (important).
Action 2:
If yes, go back to the hone screen of DYM 7.1 and make a full back up of your phone. Disconnect your phone and try 2 more reboots (either pull the battery for a few seconds or press ‘alt key, right shift key, and del key for 3 sec. all simultaneously if you have a keyboard).
Action 3:
Is the AW icon now working? If not check for the ‘red star’ again. If it still there you have to make a decision. You can go back to your present or default AW version and wait for a better version to come along or clean/update your current software to get rid off this icon issue via Action 4.
Action 4:
If you see on the bottom of the ‘Applications’ window still the ‘Update’ message click the ‘Apply’ button beside it. What will happen? This procedure stores your phone’s setting and PIM and email data and all your apps, then it erases all data, then it reinstalls your current OS software, and then reloads all the above stored data. One has to wait about 30 minutes till one get the ‘update complete’ message and then spend about another 10 minutes or so to follow all the prompts and reboots to get the phone back onto the network. Most of your third party apps will be back; other ones you need to reinstall later.
Action 5:
If you decided to ‘update’ your current software, disconnect your phone after you got the ‘update complete’ message and follow the prompts. Since this method reinstalls your current OS it will take about 10 minutes before you get an email from your phone company saying: Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network.
Wait for this message, because if you start your AW icon to early you will not be able to update your BB ID. I you did you will see a message like: Sorry, the software update server is unavailable. Please, try again. (RIM means, after you are back on your carriers network). Also, make sure your phone's radio is turned on after disconnecting from the PC.
Summary:
The above actions worked for my Torch 9800 running currently bundle 3049 and app platform version 6.6.0.246. I also experienced other issues in trying to install AW v.3.1.x.x and v. 4.0.0.x like:
missing AW icon to launch the app
Uncaught exception java.lang.Error
App World requires the latest version of BlackBerry ID.
Sorry, the software update server is unavailable. Please, try again
BlackBerry Identity installation failed. Please try again later. (80002)
If you don’t see a ‘red star’ on the first line of your apps list but are stuck on one of the above listed AW v.55 issues let me know in a response to this thread and I will suggest another way of doing an update avoiding the 'wipe way' of reinstalling the current OS.
Tip:
I deleted my PayPal app before I did the ‘Update’. I reinstalled the PayPal app after v.55 was running and had no issues with this app so far.
I hope this is not too much writing but these issues and errors are in RIM’s court for quite some time and
this method worked best for my phone. Maybe, for yours too. Good luck.

Identity Error with App World

This Error is very common in South Africa but hopefully someone has come up with an answer now , I got the latest version of BB app world then out of no-where my contacts began deleting themselves, so I wiped everything including operating system and readded a newer version .681 and now I cant log into my appworld without it asking for the identity update .. I press YES and it brings up the Question again asking for the Identity update I press YES again then it shows the error and kicks me out , I have downloaded the older version but now it says "To continue using Appworld you must upgrade" ..
Its hopeless wow ..

What OS are you running? All you said was .681, which is merely the 4th octet, with the first two octets telling you which section of that KB you should be following. The instructions you quoted have only to do with OS 5...
This KB may well also apply:
KB29501 "Error installing BlackBerry Identity, please try again later" when trying to install an update for BlackBerry Identity in BlackBerry App World.
There likely are others as well...you can search the public KBs to find if something exactly matches your circumstances...
Good luck!

Serious problem with app world.

Appworld: too slow. When upgrade several apps at the same time, it just wont work. you can just upgrade one by one. i think it is due to appworld server or the connection.

Plus BB Id say's I need internet connection .
I have Internet on browser etc.
I tried turning date to 2014 & 2015 many times no luck !

Trouble with App World!! :(

hi all, bascially whem i attempt to download apps through the App store, it tell me to log in with my blackberry ID which i do amd it then takes me to a white page with my account details on and i cant go any further... i return to the featured view and click download but the same thing happens! so i cant download/update anything.
any help will be muchly appreciated

In many cases the BlackBerry ID has not been created successfully and therefore will not let you past that screen.... go to www.blackberry.com/blackberryid and try to create a new BlackBerry ID , and then log in from the device.
Still others have been sucessful by editing to allow ALL permissions for App World.
* Go to Options/Settings > Advanced Options > Applications, (you will see your list of all your apps on your BlackBerry)
* Sroll down to BlackBerry App World, > Click the Menu key > Edit Permissions, and change everything to allow and save it.
Now go back to your App World login and see if it works.
