Blackberry App World on Curve 8520

Munster_Gal

Has anyone had any trouble getting app world to work on their curve?

I can install it but that's it. I can't find it on the BB and when I try to download apps it tells me that they can't be stored.

However, if i delete app world, I can download apps that way????

After you installed it did you try a battery pull?

Munster_Gal

nope....will give it a go

Munster_Gal

Right... that didn't work. same issue
And it was only twitter and facebook that downloaded without app world. none of the other apps will download either ways

Do you have BIS? What network are you with?

Munster_Gal

I'm with meteor on pay as you go
what's BIS and how do I check if I have it?

I think this is your problem. In order for a Blackberry to function as a Blackberry it needs a service called BIS (Blackberry Internet Service). Without it it doesnt do too much. If you get meteor to add it they will probably give it to you free of charge for 3 months then charge you 9.99 per month there after. This will allow you to use BBM, Email, Blackberry App world etc... Just call them and ask them to provision your PAYG account with BIS

oh the BB add on! I have that!!

What APN are you using. Under settings, advanced settings, tcp/ip

Munster_Gal

there's no apn.. cud explain it!

tick the enable apn box and put in
blackberry.net

no username nor password needed. Now save the settings and reboot the device. test app world now

Munster_Gal

done that. uninstalled app world and powered off the device.
reinstalled the app and then powered off the device again.
just turned it back on and no luck

And BIS is definietly on your account? It's very strange. You should be flying. You've downloaded appworld from:
www.blackberry.com/appworld

I think you're going to have to call meteor to double check provisioning.

really didn't wanna have to ring them!

I'm outta ideas. You've plenty of app memory, you've the latest appworld, you've the correct apn, you've battery pulled. The only thing left is to confirm with meteor you're provisioned correctly.


Is it a meteor device? Have you registered it on:
http://meteor.blackberry.com
