    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Munster_Gal

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭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

    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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Munster_Gal


    there's no apn.. cud explain it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,794 ✭✭✭cookie1977


    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

    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 :/

    If you go to settings advanced settings status, how much free memory have you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Munster_Gal


    application memory is 131.5 MB
    Media Card 1.8 GB

    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
